A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 51: Home Sweet Home!
Ahhe... I finally got home too.
I swear this house only has three floors but the building is for mercy. It is natural that this house is called the main house.
When viewed again, this house looks like a house commonly seen in horror movies. Well, considering who lives in it I think it's only natural.
What is unnatural is the absence of 'They' around the house. Even the last I saw 'They' roaming around was about 100 meters from the gate. It was as if 'They' had deliberately avoided this house for a reason.
"Miss, Mr and Madam are waiting"
Guided by a servant, I was led to the dining room where my parents had been waiting.
Overall, the interior of my house belongs to the luxury category with filled with expensive and striking furniture and decorated by various kinds of decorations that are also not less striking.
For the interior of the dining room, the noble dining room was what I could describe. Luxurious interior, long dining table, just like the ones in the movies.
Sitting in the main seat was my father.
She is a bule with blonde hair and dark blue eyes. Although this was just a family gathering, Papa wore a luxurious after as if this was an official event.
Next up was my mother who was sitting on the right side of papa.
Mama's face is more or less the same as mine because this face I inherited from her. Her hair and eyes were as black as my hair now. I don't know why Mama's expression looked anxious when she saw me which made me feel suspicious.
Without saying anything as bad as I was sitting in the chair opposite Mama. None of us opened our mouths until the servants finished putting together the dishes and delivering the food in front of us.
Up here everything is normal. Until the servants started pouring Wine into the prepared glass. The wine poured on me has a color as clear as white water but the aroma is very stinging. Not scent
which is sickening, but a scent that provokes my appetite.
The strange thing is that only I got this Wine. Papa and Mama's glass contained ordinary red wine.
As I stared at Papa for an explanation, Papa just grinned.
Bizarrely.
My mother also looked more anxious than before. Mama always seemed to notice my movements. Mama also seemed to signal me not to drink the Wine that was in front of me.
First they called me, now they're suspicious of me. What the hell do you want?
...It's not what I imagined, is it?
Still unfinished, the waiter who delivered us his farewell and was replaced by another waiter who stood by the wall in case we needed anything.
The problem is that their Mana does not belong to Mana. Even I dare say that they have an aura similar to mine but also feel foreign.
Papa's grin grew when he found out that I realized there was something different about the servants.
Damn, that was my goal to be called home.
"Hehe... You are my daughter"
Okay.... That's spooky.
"Darling, you're kidding me, right? There must have been a misunderstanding. Malika is just an ordinary girl"
"You still say that after our daughter has made it clear?"
Mom denied something. His face looked extremely desperate as if it was completely rejecting something related to me.
Oh, aye. Malika is the name I use here. Bad name compared to my real name.
"Well, I told you my name was Lavender"
"That's the name your grandmother gave you. Not the name I decided on!"
"Oh my God, what's the matter with Grandma? He would cry if he heard"
"That's not important! What matters now is that you've always been obsessed with witches! You're already big! Stop childish!"
"Mama said that when Mama herself was a Witch. Right, Orchid La Ciel..."
Right after I said that, Mama directly threw a fireball that seemed to be (Fire Shoot) right into my face. Fortunately I had time to parry it using (Space Barriere) so I was not injured in the slightest.
It's just that the food that has been arranged neatly is now scattered everywhere... With the exception of the Wine glass that remained standing as if nothing had happened.
For this incident, Mama became very surprised while Papa even laughed.
"Haha.... It seems that we can no longer hide the truth!"
"Malika, where did you learn that?"
"Once again, my name is Lavender. About where I learned magic, that's..."
I then told him all about the Freedom 2 game until my meeting with my grandmother. For the first time, Papa showed a surprised expression after learning that you can switch worlds using games.
While Mama can only grieve because her desire that I just be an ordinary girl has disappeared completely.
"Geez Mah, how could I possibly be an ordinary girl if Mama was a Witch while Papa was a Devil?!"
"Oh, so your demon blood has really risen well"
"You know how else. Thanks to the blessing I took from Uncle Dominic, I rose as Half-Demon"
"Wait on! Dominic is alive!!?"
With Mama's anxiety turning into wrath, I quickly told her what had happened. That included the news that I had secured the body of Filia's aunt who was now residing under my house.
"A Dungeon. Next time, please take us for a walk"
"of course! Oh, that's right too. How did you move the world?"
"That's what we'll talk about later. For now how about we eat before the food gets cold?"
Without me realizing that my food that was originally messed up has now returned to being the way it was.
At Papa's invitation, we finally had lunch together after a long time. As always, home food is the best. Drinking too.... Damnit.
Just one graceful moment was enough for me to feel the effects.
My throat seemed to burn as the Wine passed through it before finally arriving at my stomach. My stomach burned and spread throughout my body.
"Malica!"
The panicked mother came straight to me and helped myself who was about to fall on the floor. With my vision blurred, I saw Papa who was smiling widely.
...
By the time I finally woke up, I was already in a strange place.
The ground here was all burning which gave rise to heat exceeding the hottest desert in the world with wind blowing as if carrying a skin-slashing razor. There is no sun in space. Existing
it was just a dark cloud covering the sky as if it was about to rain.
That's when I realized what I'm using now.
Even though I was still wearing the Witch outfit I bought at the Cosplayer store, I was no longer a girl with black hair and eyes. Now I'm a pale-skinned girl with a pictorial tattoo
like the roots of a plant filled my entire body.
Nails that looked like violet-colored claws adorned my fingers. My long hair is now dark purple with three horns growing on my eel. Although I could not see it, my eyes now must have turned into the eyes of a predator that lit up blood red.
Is correct. This is my Devil (Demon) form.
...
Embracing her unconscious daughter, Orchid looked at her husband in anger.
"Our son is young, is it necessary to do this?"
"Him self who craves magic makes him will always seek power. The fact that Lavender now has the same title as you is no longer irrefutable"
Lavender's father, Oleander. Walking closer to his daughter who is in the arms of his wife. He hadn't touched her yet, the thing that shocked the two of them happened.
Vines grew from wooden chairs and dining tables to the unconscious Lavender.
The plant began to wrap around his body from bottom to top which made Orchid forced to separate from his daughter.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I thought he had awakened his own power. Here I hope that he inherits my powers"
"Stop joking!"
In the end the plant has completely covered Lavender's body like a cocoon. Plants that were originally brown are now changing with purplish patterns appearing on the stems and leaves. The purple light twinkled to the rhythm of Lavender's heartbeat.
"With this we can only wait..."
...
I can still use the [Magical Garment] so my strength is still there. It's just that I can't take out my Equipment so this is definitely not in the game.
Hah, luckily I can still create a new Staff by using (Nature Creation) so at least I am not standing in this strange place without a weapon.
Well, I guess this is the moment where [Sixth Sense] shines!
Okey... I think I'm on target.... Or not!!!
Dodging the attack coming towards me, I stared directly at a giant frog that had six arms and its lower body like a snail. Each frog's arm carries a weapon
the whip looked like a living snake.
Unlike ordinary green frogs, the frog's skin is blackish red like frozen magma.
Alright, [Identify] !!!
Agh!!! My head hurts!
Okay, don't use [Identify] here. Just focus on avoiding his attacks just retaliating.
Activating (Natural Wall) I held back the whip that was very ferocious and difficult to predict. Taking the gap, I used (Darkness Restraint) to inhibit his movement.
Krowowkrow!!!
With his movements stopped, I just bombarded him with (Dual-Casting) (Hydro Cannon). Two water cannons were fired which heavily hit the frog's face which looked like the face of an old grandfather.
My attack managed to destroy the frog's face and his head which makes it no longer have a head and immediately disappear.
...weak!
Seriously, I think he's a tough opponent. How disappointing. Never mind, continue the road again.
....
I'm pulling back my words.
They are weak when they are alone. But if this much is difficult to deal with it too.
(Nature Serpents)
While riding (Nature Serpent) I avoid every enemy that comes in the way. In addition to the frogs, there are also praying mantis with giant sickles, fat flies that are disgusting, and a kind of snail without a shell
the giant had arms and carried a sword that was three times longer than his body.
Of course there are many more but I don't have time to describe them all.
(Dual-Casting) (Ice Lance)
Firing a pair of ice spears towards the flies and snails, I made the (Nature Serpent) continue to curl and grind everything through it.
(Purification)
A bright light shone on everything around me. Those strange creatures bathed in holy light yawned while screaming in pain. They do not have human faces, however
their expressions clearly showed that they were extremely tormented.
"Stop struggling and just die!"
(Aqua Burst) was shot right into the face of an ugly gorilla and exploded, injuring a strange creature standing nearby.
Like that I continued to bombard everything around me until finally (Nature Serpent) took me to a place that seemed important.
...
Standing in the middle of a barren field was a tall tower soaring up to reach the clouds.
The tower appears to be made of a sort of jet-black metal with flickering red stripes running from bottom to top and back again.
Right at the base of the tower is an urban area protected by a high wall with a gate guarded by a pair of giants standing to the left and right of the gate.
Riding (Nature Serpent) I approached the tower.
"Hold it! What are you doing here?!"
Oh, so they can talk.
Hm... What should I say anyway? Ah, that's all!
"Let me in! I have business in that tower!"
"It turns out you're a challenger. Please enter!"
The gate was wide open and I was allowed to enter.
Descending from the (Nature Serpent) and deactivating it, I walked in the middle of the city that looked ancient yet full of life.
The inhabitants of this city are neither Humans nor any other race I have ever seen before.
They all have similar characteristics such as having horns on their heads, some have skin that is pale to bright red, some have many arms to those who have
tails and wings that grow on their bodies.
And what bothers me is the language they speak.
Obviously the language was supposed to be foreign to me but somehow I could understand it easily.
Although I can guess what this place really is, but I will not draw conclusions first.
What I have to think about now is what the giant told me.
Challenger.
I who wanted to come to that tower as an excuse so that I could enter was called a Challenger by them.
It is safe to say that the tower could have been a tower built as a test site which if you managed to conquer it then you could have gotten a bountiful reward.
For now I will not enter the tower first and focus on gathering information.
...
On the porch of the house, looks the Mother of Lavender, Orchid La Ciel. Who now takes the name as Orchid Permatasari a famous housewife and boutique owner is drinking tea with an anxious expression filling her beautiful face.
Accompanying him were Servants who were ready to serve him at any time.
Although on the surface they look like Servants in general, but they are actually far from the usual word.
The father of Lavender, Oleander was a powerful demon.
Unlike the other Devils who love destruction and bloodshed, Oleander prefers calmness and stability.
But that does not mean he is a man who is flabby and alien to blood.
In order to keep his life stable, Oleander uses his demonic abilities to turn some of the Servants working in his house into his subordinates.
The Servants have the primary duty of looking after their beloved wife and children.
Orchids or Orchids initially opposed this. But her relationship with Satan, which is taboo, obviously cannot go against her husband's words.
That includes when Oleander is now about to turn his only daughter into a full-fledged Devil.
"Madam doesn't need to worry, the young Miss will definitely make it through the exam that the Great Lord prepared"
"That's exactly what worries me, I don't want the kid to graduate"
Using teleportation magic that can even cross the world's borders, Orchid detaches herself from her family and wants to live a quiet life together with the man she married and their recently born daughter.
He who was born from the Witch family clearly has a high ability in using magic.
But gradually he became resentful of magic and no longer wanted to use it unless forced to.
An orchid is one day sent by his mother to investigate a strange phenomenon in which a large city just disappears along with a tower that becomes the hallmark of the city, found a small, pitch-black Slime wriggling over the empty land that once contained a city standing on it.
As a descendant of the Great Witch, the Orchid instantly realized the true identity of the Slime.
"Given Back, Malika as a child sometimes uses magic unconsciously from time to time. No matter how much I tried to seal her magic power, she was always somehow
managed to remove the seal"
"Young Miss is a talented child"
"A better step if she has no talent and lives as a girl in general"
"Even if Young Miss does not have magic in her body, her instincts as a Devil will remain"
"That's right, countless times I've been summoned to the principal's room because the little guy broke a classmate's finger or plucked their teeth one by one"
Drifting into a sea of nostalgia, Orchid remembers an event she will never forget.
"The day the boy lost his chastity, a mafia gang was wiped out overnight"
"I'm sorry that we failed to protect Young Miss when Madam and Big Master were out of town"
"It's okay, let it pass. That's what I want to say. Even though I managed to restore her chastity using magic and erase the child's memory of that day, the fact of her awakening her demonic power for the first time still I can't forget"
Returning to drink the tea to restore his mood, Orchid gazed into the distance with an anxious and lonely expression on his face.
