A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 62: Let's Heal the Owl

I can't believe what's going on right now.

I who remained Log In despite knowing that the condition of my avatar was not possible to hunt as usual, found myself summoned by the Lion Chieftain. I happen to be in the capital for

undergoing treatment, seeing that there was nothing else I could do, I also took the call.

Since I had already received a reward for my services on the battlefield, I did not know for what reason I was summoned.

Entering the meeting room, I found two female figures that I had never seen before but had heard of in the forum.

One female... Or perhaps it was more precisely said to be a red-haired old little girl wearing a pure white typical Witch robe while wearing a seemingly triangular hat

greatness for someone the size of himself. He also carried a Staff that was currently placed on the floor beside him which was likely too high if carried by him.

Beside the girl was a dark purple haired woman of about 18 years old who wore a dark black Witch robe as well as a triangular hat smaller than the one

worn by the little girl. Next to the woman was a Staff whose head looked like a cage that housed a crystal ball that emitted a purplish light that was

seeing him made me feel like bowing my head to him.

At a glance, the two of them were from the Human race who were rarely seen in the Beastman realm like this.

But, I know.

From the information I got on the forum, the little girl is actually not an ordinary girl but a Grandma who already has two grandchildren. Whereas the woman is not a Man but a Half-Demon which is a race that can not be chosen by Otherworlder like myself because it belongs to the forbidden race.

Their true identity was the Witch from Sol Ciel who had demonstrated their abilities at the battle in the Barrier Forest some time ago.

I also heard that the two of them are on their way to Sanguine Kingdom. Then it was only natural that they would have to pass through Ferox Kingdom where I was.

But... Why should I be called here?

...

Unconsciously I was taken to the usual treatment room.

What's unusual is that I'm no longer cared for by the Catfather who used to take care of me. Unless I'm being cared for by the Witch of the Ibis Forest, Lavender.

"So, can you tell me, why do you want to be the one to activate the bomb?"

"That's it, I had to... I-I lost the lottery..."

Although his voice was low, but I could feel some kind of power from every word he said. Every word that was spoken from his mouth seemed to bewitch me so spontaneously I would answer every word

his words honestly... This is not because I rarely interact with beautiful women... Shit, when was the last time I spoke to a woman in the real world other than my sister and mother?!

"Oh, so. Then, why don't you guys just use slaves?"

"I-that's because someone thought it was too cruel"

"Hm... So therefore you choose to sacrifice your own members who can rise again from the dead rather than using disposable slaves"

Whether because she was the type to talk to, the Lavender Witch kept asking me questions while she was trying to heal me.

At first he only asked about the latest state of the battlefield or about life in Ferox Kingdom in general. Until finally the question refers to personal information such as...

"Isn't Otherworlder in fact an ordinary Man. Why did you choose the Beastman race, especially the Bird tribe?"

Although I was surprised at first because he knew that Otherworlder was actually a Human, but his voice that went into my ears prevented me from answering his question with another question.

"That's a little embarrassing... A-I used to have an owl named Wooho..."

"Ah, so so. Your pet is dead and as a tribute or because of sentimental feelings you decide to take the form and name of your pet well"

...I can't deny his words.

Although I felt a little upset that he seemed to underestimate the death of the pet that I had considered a friend, I was the one now... Even I who am in prime condition will not have

the power to fight it.

I don't know if this is my innate nature or what. But somehow every time I met someone who was much stronger than me, I felt foolish to resist and ended up obeying their every word.

Because of this I was also unable to fight back when Chieftain Bearnard ordered me who lost the draw to become a final battle.

By the time Magician Lavender moved behind me while asking the next question, there was a slight change in the way she spoke.

"If. and only if... If your condition were permanent, what would you do?"

Sensing that he was really serious about asking this, I reflexively turned my head back. Since I am an Owl, when I say 'getting back' I do not rotate my whole body but just twist my neck 180° like an owl in general.

What I saw was the face of a beautiful woman with glowing purple eyes and seductive red lips. The tattoo on her cheek does not detract from her beauty but rather adds to her charm.

Seeming unmoved even though my head was spinning completely, he just stared directly at me waiting for me to answer his question.

It was clear that the question this time was different from the previous one, I also devoted all my mind to answering it as seriously as possible.

"If it is so... Then maybe I'll just accept my fate"

"Oh, aren't you trying to find a cure or something?"

"Haha, if there is free time maybe yes. But I won't waste time and energy on what looks impossible and start pursuing my other goals"

"And what is that purpose?"

"My mother used to say to me 'As social beings, we should try to be at least useful to the crowd' he added 'If you feel that a job is impossible for you, then don't do it

force it. Find another job that you feel is better suited to you. The origin is useful to the State, no matter how small it is, work is still work.'heh, although at first I did not understand what my mother said at that time, but now, I do, I'm starting to understand what he means"

A small smile was created on his face "Hehe, you have a good mother well".

I replied with a smile of my own, which would not be very clear because what I had was not the lips but the beak.

After we looked at each other for a while, the Lavender Witch immediately turned her gaze towards the wall beside us.

"Did you hear that, O stubborn Prince!"

Confused as to who he was talking to, I then heard something like a person falling down so hard that I said the word "Ouch!" which sounds like a boy's voice.

...someone eavesdropped!

Damn, if only my Skill could still be used, I would definitely be able to detect its existence even in a closed-eye state.

Not long after, a pure-blooded lion boy dressed in the Beastman's customary attire was usually worn only by the family and relatives of the Chief.

Since I was already in a sitting position, then I just needed to lower my head to give some respect.

"How did you know?"

From his expression and tone, it was obvious that he looked very upset... or rather frown?

Distant from the little Lion, the person behind me looked very happy as if he was having fun.

"How do I know? It was easy, I only had the corresponding Skill. Everyone must know that... Oh, sorry. Almost all"

At the ridicule of the Lavender Witch, the Little Lion immediately went on a rampage.

"You! Why do you always make fun of me! I knew! I knew that I would never be able to raise my level! I knew I could never be strong! I know it! I know!"

Tears began to drip as he let out all the feelings he had been craving all along.

"I knew... You don't have to do that... You don't have to make fun of me all the time..."

Now he just keeps crying while trying to wipe away the tears that have fallen.

Honestly, even though I didn't know what was really going on, I began to feel sorry for the little boy in front of me... But, the person behind me clearly felt something different.

"If you know, why are you still so stubborn..."

Different from the mocking tone he had put out earlier, this time the Lavender Witch spoke seriously more than the previous one. Without even turning around, I clearly felt the pressure he was under

eject.

"...By the time your father asked me to heal Wooho, you must have thought 'if he can be healed, I can do it too?' although I have clearly told you that your condition will never be cured"

"Why! What is different! Aren't we equally unable to use the Skill!"

"Of course it's different!"

Upon the clash of the Lavender Witch, the Little Lion immediately retreated backwards with fear clearly drawn on his face. If only Lavender's two hands were not on my shoulders right now, I would have tried to stay away from her as well.

"The reason why Wooho can be cured is because he is 'sick' so he can be cured. While your condition is like that since you were born. You'll never be able to fix what's not broken"

The Little Lion became silent for a while, before he finally began to open his mouth to reply to the words of the Lavender Witch despite stammering.

"Didn't you hear what Wooho said?

'If you feel a job is impossible for you, then don't force it. Find another job that you feel is better suited to you. That origin is useful to the State, no matter how small it is, work is work'

The reason why you want to be strong is to be able to help your father, right?"

The Little Lion nodded.

"then do not force yourself to try to help him on the battlefield. You can help him by reducing his burden in ruling a Kingdom. You can help him with paperwork, give him advice on diplomacy, and many other things that don't require skills. Isn't that also why your parents gave you books to read instead of swords to swing?"

Now I finally understand.

For some reason, the child in front of me is now experiencing the same condition as me. What distinguishes him is this condition he has experienced since birth and is impossible to cure.

It seemed that the reason the Lavender Witch asked me what if my condition was permanent and what I would do next was to teach this child who was unwilling to accept reality.

Although the way is quite hard, but the intention is good.

At the moment when the Little Lion was silent a thousand languages, a Lion girl came and immediately apologized while carrying away the little Lion. I think she's her sister.

By the time the two of them finally left, I was now back with only the Lavender Witch.

"I think next time you'll have to be softer towards the little ones"

"Heh, everyone must have treated her very gently. Thanks to that he became stubborn to make him kidnapped by bandits. Therefore, one loud scolding was needed to break his head which

as hard as a rock"

"That's it..."

Although there are many questions I want to ask, but it seems that the Lavender Witch does not want to talk any longer.

I just sat still while my body was being treated.

...

Ahhe... Finally finished too... For today, of course.

Wooho's condition is severe enough that one treatment will not be enough to treat it.

Especially since my [Luminous Magic] was still so low that it made treatment even more difficult than the previous one.

But, well... It's good to level up.

•[Luminous Magic] has reached level 10, gaining 1SP•

•[Luminous Ring) from [Luminous Magic]•

Even if not how much, level up still level up.

Still, curing Wooho is the hardest task I've ever had in my life. Other than her unusual condition, the fact that [Luminous Magic] was not my forte made this task even more headache.

Since it was late, I went back to the room that the Chief had provided. There I found the figure of Grandma sleeping soundly on the straw bed with Victoria faithfully standing by her side.

With her mouth now free, the first thing Victoria said to me was...

"Shhhhhh... Don't be noisy"

Without any need to be told I would not dare to wake Grandma who was asleep.

As I was thinking about what to do with Victoria, Zweite walked into the room carrying a tray of food.

"Master, it's time to eat"

No matter where I saw it, there was only a lump of jumbo-sized meat that had been cooked to brown.

I didn't see any other dishes on the tray. There were no vegetables, no nuts, and not even potatoes, bread or other carbohydrate-containing foods.

There is only meat and meat.

"Zweite, don't tell me there's only meat?"

"...I've asked for a knife and fork"

Whoi!!!

...

When I Log Out, I feel hunger in my stomach.

Even though I've eaten a jumbo-sized steak, it's in the world and not in the world here. Unlike there which was already dark, the sky here was still brightly thundering.

Getting out of my bed, I headed to the dining room.

Already at the dinner table, were Papa and Mama who had already spent half of the dish in front of them.

"Tumben wakes up, if you know, then we should be able to have lunch together"

After saying that, Papa immediately ordered the Servant to prepare a portion of my meal.

Sitting in my usual chair, I decided to talk about what was going on while waiting for my food to arrive.

"Ah, damage to the Mana line well... If you master the (Regeneration) of [Holy Magic] then you will easily heal that brave warrior"

"[Holy Magic]?! Unfortunately my [Luminous Magic] level is still low"

Damn, if you know this then I will diligently raise my level.

"Then, about the Son of the Lion Chieftain. Based on your explanation, if he wants to be able to raise his level, then he must be willing to replace his body with a new one because his current body is impossible to repair"

"So it's impossible... About changing her body, do I have to transfer her soul to a new body to be able to do that?"

"really so. You can do that by using (Grabs Souls) from [Demon Magic]... You at least have that Skill, right?"

"Of course I have... What level?"

"Level 15"

Tch, it's still a long time.

Eventually my lunch arrived. Unlike the meat dish that I recently ate, lunch at home is a balanced portion of rice, vegetables, and roasted chicken.

As for the drink is cold orange juice and a pudding as a dessert.

I began to eat my lunch while Papa was almost done with the meal while Mama had finished and the dishes had been cleaned by the Waiter.

"Mali... Lavender, Mama knows that you're serious about learning magic and it's too late for Mama to stop you. But, can't you not include your comrades in this world? Especially in the news many people who play the game you play stop because of mental stress"

"Buddy? Who?"

"What your mother means is the Elf Princess and the Beastman"

"Ah... They're yeah! As a defense, it was Papa who told me to"

Mom glared at Papa with a sharp look. It could be seen a flash of lightning striking behind Mama as she did that.

I swear that it wasn't SFX but real lightning because I could see the Mana movement around Mama when it happened.

"Calm down, let me explain first..."

While Papa explained, I also calmly enjoyed my lunch.

"...Oh right, speaking of them, the Elf Princess is now receiving a guest. It seems that the guest is an Alchemist"

"Alchemist!"

I immediately ordered a Servant to prevent the Alchemist from leaving because I wanted to see him.

In the meantime I also started to finish my food quickly.

"Don't rush... Who was the alchemist until you rushed so?"

"Pop... Nyams... If I'm right... Nyams... Nyams... He is the one who... Nyams... Nyams... Able to make bombs... Nyams... Which destroys... Nyams... Ultima Sculpture... Nyams... I'm leaving first!"

"Ultima Arca!!?"

Finished finishing my meal, I immediately went to the guest house where Canary was allowed to stay.

Because I left quickly, Papa who was shocked after hearing the destruction of Ultima Arca tried to stop me but failed.
