A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 33: Welcome to My House!

Can't be trusted!

It could be that 'kids' are teasing this old man. Just watch out, don't know how he would be if I were serious.

Even so, inevitably I still have to keep all these clothes. Although the appearance is similar to a casual shirt and even a pajama, but the performance is not inferior to Armor with 4★.

"All right, let's move on..."

I had not yet finished speaking, the space before us distorted and revealed a path that had not existed before.

We all became vigilant.

Not too long later my [Detection] sensed a sufficiently powerful existence approaching towards us at a constant speed.

It seems that Alfred and Turbo also felt the same existence. Seen from those who are already on standby to fight.

I could not feel the aura of hostility from that existence. For now it is safe to say that the fight will not happen immediately. But, we still cannot lower our vigilance.

We finally saw his figure.

She is a woman who is about 20 years old. With white skin like a newly cut wood stem that has vines attached tightly to its body. A gentle look

from his purple eyes as well as his face that exuded an aura of maturity made me lower my vigilance for a few seconds.

The most striking of her appearance was her leaf-green hair that extended below her knees as well as the dress she wore like it was made of foliage embroidered so thoroughly that it made her rival even a dress expensive that is usually worn by noble women.

Obviously he's not human.

From the aura he emanated, I can surmise that he was from the Dryad race. Moreover, he is not an ordinary Dryad but a Dryad with a higher caste.

Shortly after this woman appeared, I could feel something different from Alfred and Turbo. From their facial expressions, they seemed to know who this woman was.

"No-miss Lif!?"

Oh, so he's a Lif. The servant of the Witch Lavender.

Heh, it is also great that 'child' to have such a great servant. Wait, if it's not wrong they say that Lif has exotic skin?

"Welcome, dear visitors. Miss Lavender is expecting your arrival"

Lif then asked us to follow him. We had no choice, we followed him.

Along the way, I looked at our left and right who had been out of nowhere since when it had been foggy. At first glance I could already feel that this fog was no ordinary mist. By walking in it I finally began to understand the true nature of this fog.

This fog was actually a kind of barrier that served to prevent anyone from passing through. If we hadn't been led by Lif, we would have been here all day before me

can open the way forcibly with my magic.

That still did not include finding the illusion that made this place invisible before.

As I was walking, I could hear a conversation from Alfred and Turbo who were walking not far behind me.

"Headmaster Alfred, she's Miss Lif right?"

"The appearance and aura he exuded was slightly different, but unmistakably, he was indeed a Lif"

Hm... So.

It seems that his appearance has changed. Was this also the effect of this forest turning into a Dungeon?

If so, his master, that 'Son', Lavender. Must have changed too.

'That 'son' should have been a Human. And it was impossible for a Human to become the master of a Dungeon. It could mean two things... First, the 'son' managed to enslave a Dungeon Master and freely used it to organize this Dungeon. The second, the 'son' changed his own race.

If it's the last one, then... I don't think it's a problem. Given that he is a descendant of the 'man' I guess I can already guess what race he has now.

The question now is how does that 'child' change his race?

Is it by using magic or items? Also, can it be used freely or can it only be worn once in a lifetime?

Then, the most important thing was how could that 'child' come here?

Even though I felt I could already figure out the answer, I would still ask her when we finally met.

For the sake of being able to figure out all these questions, I had no choice but to ask directly.

Not long after, we finally arrived.

It was an open space with only a few trees growing. There are three buildings with unique shapes and a Mansion as the largest building. There is also a river that flows with glass-clear water and beside it is a row of gardens containing plants that can be used as material.

But, most importantly...

"..."

I'm at a loss for words.

What's in this place is very dense. If ordinary people entered this place, they would definitely have trouble breathing. Even Turbo who is the weakest in this group began to show symptoms of shortness of breath.

Although the Mana in this place is very dense, but they are also very pure. The level of purity is equivalent to that of Her Majesty Queen Cascade.

It's only fair that a Dryad with a high caste like Lif can be here. As part of the Spirit race, Dryad seemed like he would definitely be very comfortable staying here.

"Welcome, honourable gentlemen and my beloved Grandmother . In my humble abode"

Suddenly a woman who was about 18 years old came from the Mansion.

His face was very similar to Rosemary when he was young. What distinguishes him is his dark purple hair and his violet-colored eyes look like lizard eyes that emit an alluring light.

On the surface of the skin that looks pale there is a kind of tattoo patterned like a plant root. Despite being covered by her long, straight hair, I could still see her ears that looked tapered like Elf ears but shorter.

He was wearing a conical hat that was slightly smaller than mine. The robe he wears.... Huh!?

"What a deep thank you for going all the way... "Where did you get that cloak!!!!" ...Wait a minute, Grandma I'm still not done talking!"

"Bodo time! That robe was a special robe of the Verloren Kingdom! Where'd you get it!"

That robe, how could I possibly forget it. The robe is given only to the Royal Magician (Royal Mage) who works directly under the orders of the Verloren King. Before the kingdom was destroyed, there was only one person who had access to wear it.

"Okay, I said, but stop shaking me!"

Oh, it seems I lost my composure. After removing my hand from her collar, I then took a few steps back and waited for an explanation from her.

...

"Headmaster Alfred, what do you think?"

"How's what?"

"The Relationship between the Cardinal Lady and the Lavender Witch"

"Hmmm..."

When we arrived at the Lavender Witch residence, I could barely say anything. Besides being amazed, but somehow I feel tight in my chest.

Headmaster Alfred said that this is a common symptom if you are in a crowded area of Mana. After that, Headmaster Alfred taught me how to survive in an area like this.

A while later I finally started to breathe normally even though my chest still felt a bit sore.

"At first glance I heard the Witch Lavender call Madam Cardinal as 'Grandmother'. It can only mean one thing..."

Well, I also heard and guessed the same thing.

From the first time I saw Miss Rosemary's face, I had the feeling that Witch Lavender and Sol Ciel had a relationship.

It seems my guess is on target.

It was evidenced by how familiar Madam Cardinal was with the Lavender Witch.

The two of them were talking at a table not far from us. But because they spoke in such a small tone, we couldn't hear what they were talking about.

However, the main problem is the new appearance of the Lavender Witch.

Within a few months, she looked much more mature. Not in the sense of age but from the expression and aura she exuded made me unable to see anything but a beautiful mature woman.

Speaking of aura, the staff he was holding also emitted an aura that seemed to have the effect of making anyone who saw it feel a pressing feeling that made you want to submit to it.

If this was me from last year, I would have immediately knelt down the moment I saw him.

Oh right, right now we are all inside the Mansion of the Lavender Witch. Precisely we were now in the living room that looked very luxurious while waiting for the two of them to finish talking.

"Please have the tea"

"Oh, take the cash..."

"Together"

The one who served us tea was a little girl with a similar appearance to the new Lif. Even the dress they wore had a similar model only hers had already been adjusted

to be worn by children.

The only difference is that his hair is white and at first glance looks like wool.

After the boy left, I whispered to Headmaster Alfred.

"About 8-10 years"

"Where did the girl come from..."

"Hush, don't ask any further. Also, it is better not to offend anything regarding the 'Women' outside"

Before entering the Mansion, I could clearly see a pair of women who had tails and were not wearing a piece of clothing were working in the garden.

When I looked at them, even if it was just for a moment, I could feel that my passion had instantly increased. I quickly took my eyes off and tried to keep these dirty thoughts out of my head.

Even so, at first glance I could see there was a kind of chain-shaped tattoo on their neck. Headmaster Alfred also saw it and told me that it was some kind of slave seal.

I've known for a long time that slavery is quite common in this game. Even we Otherworlders can freely buy slaves as long as they are legal slaves.

As for whether the slaves that were here were legal or not, I did not dare to find out.

"At this moment we are in his territory and we have no information. We better wait for Mrs Cardinal before we act"

"Good"

After that we just kept quiet while enjoying the tea provided while waiting for the conversation between the Cardinal Lady and the Lavender Witch to end.

...

After a long time of not seeing each other, the first thing Grandma did was pull my collar very hard.

Not only that, after knowing that my race had changed and how it could change, grandma immediately nagged me as she relentlessly reached my ears.

So hard grandma mengewernya, I will not be surprised if tomorrow-tomorrow my ears will be longer.

Seriously, couldn't he be softer to his own grandson?

Anyway, why is Grandma here? Does my grandmother play games too?

At first I thought so, but after talking to him I got the feeling that that wasn't the case.

Moreover, doesn't grandma look much younger than me?!

Now that I remember it again, isn't the last time I saw grandma her appearance was more or less like this? That means after all this time grandma stays young!

And... The clothes my grandmother wore.

It was a typical Witch outfit!!!

That meant... Ahhe... I am the descendant of a Witch!

Putting that aside first, grandma seems to be very interested in Dominic.

For an entire hour Grandma only asked about that person. I didn't know what kind of grudge was between the two of them, but after grandma found out that I had finished off Dominic, she hugged me

very, very tightly.

"Good work, my grandson"

"...yes"

Heh, I haven't hugged grandma in a long time. I'm glad I killed Dominic.

Grandma then told me about her relationship with Dominic.

In the past, grandma had a relationship with King Verloren (Wait, what!?) But it's not an official relationship but just an overnight one.

Even so, life has been created.

A little later a girl was born named Orchid La Ciel.

Due to the custom of Sol Ciel, Orchid must go with his mother (i.e., grandmother) to be educated in order to become a Witch and must not be in contact with the Verloren Kingdom for any reason until he

full-grown.

"Lavender, Orchid is your mother's real name"

"....WHAT!!!!!"

You're kidding! That means I have a familial relationship with Philia!

Wait a minute, if Filia is technically my aunt, that means Dominic is...

"Did I just kill my own uncle?"

"I'd rather call him someone who fooled your aunt"

Well, true. Their relationship turned out that way.

Even so, grandma never mentioned the main reason why she had a bad relationship with Dominic other than the fact that she had a relationship with Filia's aunt.

To divert the conversation, Grandma said the main reason why they entered this forest.

"In that way, can you open this Dungeon to the public?"

"Of course, that was my intention from the beginning"

That way the problem is solved....

"Ehem... Sorry to interrupt"

Hm... This fellow... Oh, Headmasters!

"If you may ask, what exactly is the relationship between the two of you?"

To this question, the grandmother answered.

"Oh, right too, I haven't told ya? This girl is my first grandchild. La Ciel Lavender"

Hearing this, Alfred and... Who is this guy? I've seen it, but where?

Anyway they looked half surprised after hearing this. It seemed like they could have expected it from the beginning. Their questions only served to confirm their conjecture.

Since it seemed to be getting dark (according to Lif confirmation), the two of them then allowed me to use the guest room on the first floor.

Ah right, that other guy turned out to be Turbo. Lif often told me that he met her every time Lif went outside.

Whether it was purely by chance or from the very beginning Turbo was in charge of overseeing Lif, I didn't know and didn't care. As long as they are not looking for trouble, there is no problem.

Ehe, you should have seen their faces when I said that they could touch the slaves outside.

As for grandma, she will use the room on the third floor which is only two rooms away from my room.

After dinner, Grandma visited my room. His expression seemed much more serious than before. Obviously he wanted to talk about something very important.

"So... Lavender, how did you get back to this world?"

Hearing this, all my guesses all along were finally answered. My grandmother was a Locals.

"...same as other Otherworlder"

"I've guessed..."

The question now is, what exactly is this place? Obviously this is not an ordinary game and is more suitable to be referred to as another world.

Then, why and how can they accept us Otherworlders into this world with the lure of playing games?

For sure I know that this is going from two directions.

People from that world can go here and people from this world can go there. This has been proven by the grandmother who had visited the house when I was a child.

Oh, that's right too!

If Grandma was here, it would mean that Mary was here too, right?!

After I asked a few things, Grandma then told me about everything.

From what world this really is, why they accept Otherworlder, why this world takes the guise of a game world, and so forth.

It's just that grandma didn't tell me who exactly was the main culprit who did all this. Still, I should be grateful that grandma has told me this instead of saying something like "You will

know when it's time".

Really, if grandma did that, I would definitely be very angry.

But, isn't all this information too much to convey at one time? I also could not tell you the information I got because it was a SPOILER

large.

"Hey, Grandma, how about we take a break and continue tomorrow?"

"Can't! Things like this can't be delayed and you need to know everything right now!"

That night, I didn't go to sleep until Lif came knocking and told me that morning had come.
