A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 36: My Childhood

It was a beautiful flower garden.

I ran cheerfully amidst the expanse of colorful flowers with a child with a look similar to mine.

We were joking, laughing together.

As we grew tired, we rested in a white gazebo standing in the middle of the garden.

Opening the provisions we brought, we ate lunch stored in a cute lunch box while continuing to joke and tell about everything.

"Hey, Lavy, want to see something interesting?"

Said the boy with a big smile on his face. As a child full of curiosity, how could I refuse him?

Seeing me nod with enthusiasm, the boy, Mary. Bring out a very beautiful flower.

The flower had nearly transparent petals that gave off a star-like sparkle in the sky that greatly spoiled the eyes.

Seeing this, I became full of vigor and with a childlike smile, well, I was also a child back then. I asked Mary.

"Mary, Mary, what is this flower? Got where? Can I take it?"

Mary just laughed at my behavior. His face seemed satisfied with my reaction.

"Look yeah..."

Mary then told me about this flower.

The name of this flower is Aurora Flower. This flower only grows on the Evernight Plains. This flower does not grow from sunlight but by absorbing the light of the stars. This makes it have the ability to disappear in the sunlight and only bloom at night especially when the expanse of stars adorns the night sky.

This made him famous for his ability to be invisible to the human eye during the day. To be able to see this flower you have to wait until night or put it in the shadows.

I don't know where the Evernight Plains are. What is important besides this beautiful flower is also amazing!

After giving an explanation, Mary handed the flowers to me.

When I touched it, my hand felt cold as if I were touching ice cream. When I put this flower in the sun, I could no longer see it as if it had never existed even though I could still feel it. When I put the flower back into the shadows, it was seen again.

I kept flipping the flower from the light into the shadows with a big smile on my face.

"Mary, look! The flowers are completely gone!"

Of course I got excited. How not, I who had long been infatuated with Magicians was no longer able to hold back because this was the first time I saw such a magical thing in the real world.

Amidst my enthusiasm, I brought the flower closer to my face to see it more clearly.

Her petals that were like the night sky were very beautiful in my eyes.

The scent that the flower gave off was so sweet that it was more than the most expensive candy I had ever eaten.

"Hey Lavy, don't eat it!"

Suddenly Mary clapped my hand hard.

I was so surprised by that.

When I wanted to ask why, I realized that the flower was no longer in my hands. And I don't know why my mouth became so cold and sweet.

"Well..."

I accidentally ate the flower. No wonder Mary was angry.

"sorry"

"It's okay. But don't tell anyone. Especially grandma, later grandma can be angry!"

"Um"

I can only nod. I've only seen Grandma angry once.

It was when grandma first came to the house together with Mary and her mother.

Grandma is angry with mom and dad. I don't know why, but Grandma looks so wrathful.

Seeing that, obviously I don't want to make Grandma angry.

After that, we went back to play until my mom came to pick me up.

...

..

.

Huh!

The dreams?

Why did I dream about that moment?

Also, why am I now full of bandages!?

"Oh, are you awake?"

Looking to the side, there was a grandmother who was busy reading books while drinking tea.

Hearing her words, I remembered that before my grandmother and I were

practice match. With my current condition, it's clear how it turned out.

"Your use of magic is good enough and even creative. However, the execution is still lacking and needs to be developed again"

"Good"

Grandma then showed me one by one my mistakes in the fight and how to fix it. Listening to them taught me a lot of valuable lessons.

"Oh yeah..."

Putting the book she read back on the table, Grandma then looked at me with a serious look.

"When you fight, you disappear a few times, how do you do it?"

With that, I told grandma everything.

Starting when I read the encyclopedia Grandma gave me, I found a plant that looked familiar to me.

(Aurora Flower)

From the description and illustration, I am very sure that this is the same flower that Mary gave me.

I was surprised to find out that this flower came from here. But after remembering that Grandma and Mary are natives here, I guess it's only natural that I found the flower to be from here.

Starting from there, when Grandma told me that my magic (Nature Creation) was able to recreate whatever plants I had seen and touched directly, a light of inspiration flashed in my head.

Since I had 'accidentally' eaten (Aurora Flower) in the first place, it was only fitting that I could recreate this flower with the same effect as using my magic.

If only I had not listened to Grandma's explanation earlier, I would have been astonished as to why the things that happened in the world there could have an effect on me in this world.

Hearing this, what Grandma did was....

"Ouch!"

"Based on a bad boy, did your mother never teach you not to eat carelessly!?"

"Yes sorry"

After an hour-long lecture, Grandma told me to go back to rest and go out and leave me alone in the room.

Since there was no work, I decided to Log Out.

Oh, before I forget...

•[Forest Magic] has reached level 5, getting 1SP•

Since the third rank skill no longer casts new magic, I also get nothing but SP.

Huh... I must quickly create a new magic that is effective against grandma as soon as possible.

But before, Log Out was ah.

...

I'm back!

"Ouch!"

Oh, the wound is still not healed... (Light Heal) ..still not healed yet!

"Free"

"I have a skill called [Pain Giver] that has the effect of preventing the wounds I give from healing easily"

A few hours later, my grandmother finished talking. I know what Grandma said is important, but most importantly, how do I get that skill!

"...Enough talk, let's have lunch"

As usual, lunch is provided by the Lif. Honestly, the more days the food he made the more improved in quality.

Heh, that's my Mahakaryaku.

Lunch went well, even though grandma talked a lot, but I don't mind. After all, I just keep my ears closed and all return to calm.

After that I went back to training.

The training is very strenuous but very meaningful and useful.

It would be even more beneficial if the wounds on my body were healed.

•[Two-Handed Staff] has reached level 10, gaining 1SP•

•[Mana Sight] has reached level 5, getting 1SP•

•[Clear Mind] has reached level 5, getting 1SP•

•[Mana Control] has reached level 25, getting 1SP•

•[Magic Researcher] has reached level 25, getting 1SP•

•[Body Strengthening] has reached the maximum level, gaining 2SP.I•

•[Greater Mana Enchant] has reached level 5, gaining 1SP•

•[Greater Mana Recovery] has reached level 5, gaining 1SP•

•[Intuition] has reached level 15, getting 1SP•

•[Power Boost] Skill has been fulfilled, successfully opened•

Just take 2SP!

Ha... I'mtired.

The exercises that Grandma gave me were especially strenuous. Moreover I am still forbidden to use any other magic other than [Forest Magic]. Thanks to that I can't raise my other magic levels.

But in exchange, my ability to handle [Forest Magic] became even more proficient and I even managed to create some new tricks.

I learned a lesson from Grandma again.

The lesson this time is about the history and relations between countries from the past until now.

On this occasion, the grandmother also told about her relationship with Uncle Dominic in more detail.

"Stay, killing my own uncle still feels bad"

"So talk! That person is not and does not deserve to be called your uncle!"

Grandma then told me about the history of Verloren Kingdom.

Originally it was the neighboring country of Drakon Kingdom.

I once said that King Verloren at that time had a one-night relationship with grandma, right? The reason why they could not be together was because King Verloren had fallen in love with another Witch (Witch) and ended up making her his queen.

The witch, is the sister of Grandma.

Surprising right?

Two sisters fall in love with him and spend the night with them. Heh, that King is great too. More precisely, my grandfather was great too!

The King and Queen of Verloren ruled their kingdom in peace.

The kingdom prospered, the people prospered, and thanks to the connections of her sister's grandmother (As well as with her own grandmother), the kingdom was eventually guarded by a mighty Dragon who made the kingdom one of the strongest countries of its time.

They also have many descendants.

One of them was a very sweet princess and was talented in magic.

She is Filia Allein Verloren.

From a young age, Filia's aunt showed great talent in magic and mastered a lot of magic and when she was 10 years old her aunt Filia already held the title of Witch (Witch).

It was a golden era for the Verloren Kingdom.

But it didn't last long.

Yup, thanks to Dominic who fell in love with Filia's aunt who was then only 15 years old while Dominic himself was a grandfather, everything became chaotic.

And... Since I've told you before, I won't repeat it again.

"Although so, I have killed my own uncle well..."

"How many times do you want to say that! He really deserved it. Even you should be proud to have swept away the disgrace of a family that has existed for decades"

Grandma is right.

Although I didn't talk to him much, my opinion of Uncle Dominic from the start wasn't good. Besides he was the opponent I had to defeat, he also directly humbled me when we just met.

Although he is technically my own uncle, he does deserve to die.

When I just felt better, Grandma looked grim instead.

"Ha... Although Dominic's death is a happy news, but the body of the little Philia is still not found. Only God knows what happened to his body"

Grandma began to mutter about how precious the body of a royal family was. Especially because Filia's aunt was also a Witch (Witch) who made it into the material or even the most valuable magic catalyst ever.

If only aunt was still a virgin, then her value could have been even higher... Whoi! Why do I need to know this!!!

Judging it would be even worse if grandma kept this up, I decided to immediately pull her arm and drag grandma out of the room.

"Hey, don't be rude to old people!"

"Mr, shut up and come along"

While holding granny's hand tightly, I led her deep into the basement.

Our destination was the ground floor of my basement.

There is a luxurious room with gilded walls and gems. In each corner there is a statue of the Goddess who holds a jug of water that continues to spill nonstop.

The water from the four statues of the Goddess flowed in the waterway I made that would meet each other in the middle of the room.

Right in the middle of the room, there was a kind of small island overgrown with white flowers that emitted a very fragrant aroma.

The flowers grow around a golden coffin whose lid is made of very clear glass that allows anyone to peek inside.

Inside the chest lay a 15-year-old girl with long blonde hair like silk.

The clothes she was wearing was a pure white dress adorned by gems that sparkled like stars.

The dress covered her petite body yet and was in a special design to accentuate her charming curves.

Her smooth skin looked pale as no more blood flow brought life to her body.

His face that was very similar to mine seemed to be soundly and peacefully asleep. If I hadn't known the truth, I would have thought that he was just asleep.

Yes, she is Philia.

Ever since I took it from Dominic, I put it in a special room I made myself in his honor.

I never thought she was my own aunt.

It makes me grateful not to bury or cremate him.

"Lavenders... It's..."

Grandma did not seem to believe what she saw. With a trembling granny touched the surface of the crate made of glass. His eyes began to get wet and his mouth was wide open looking about to say something but was unable to express it.

"That's Filia's aunt"

"..."

Only a silent cry was heard.

Without saying anything, I just stood there.

Even though we were on the ground, it was still raining heavily.
