Becoming a Witch in Another World
Chapter 139: The Mail Delivery Tower
Sadness will always create darkness in one's heart, and that darkness will create evil.
Even so.
There is always hope that one does not fall, and that hope comes from someone who tries to fix everything.
Tracing the crowded streets of the city, I came to a building that is quite tall, not excessive if you call it a high tower where here many people are wearing white pigeon-like uniforms.
When I entered it I was lucky that the queue was not too long, in this world there is no name of technology so if you send letters can only be through postal services like I do now.
"Welcome, who will send a letter to which address?"
"I want to use intercontinental shipping."
"So, it's all 5 gold coins."
"Sure, thank you."
The further you send the letter, the more expensive the fare. Some of the postmen began arriving with their brooms and took new letters in their respective areas.
When I was about to step out accidentally someone hit me until we both fell at the same time.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"No problem next time you have to be careful."
The one who bumped into me was a thin man with mushroom hair as well as round glasses, what was clearly visible from him was that he was like a character in the comics usually.
"I'm in a hurry, sorry."
I can only sigh slowly.
He just came from the entrance but now that he's going to the exit, is he okay? When I think about it, he finally came back.
I asked him as he picked up a new mailing.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm just tired of having to turn around."
"Run? Did something happen?"
"There are monsters that inhabit the route usually therefore I take a detour."
"If you want me to be able to overcome that monster?"
"No, no, that's impossible. That monster is so big that I don't have any money."
"hee."
I pulled his arm and went out with him. In order not to be flashy I also created a flying broomstick to follow this man from the side.
"It turns out you're a witch, too, my name is Mikan."
"I'm Aksa, hello to Mikan."
"Together" he replied thus.
"By the way, how long have you been working as a mailman?"
"It's my third year, I've wanted to go out a few times but in the end I decided not to do it haha."
"Work sometimes feels saturated, such things are natural."
Mikan rubbed her back hair and said shyly.
"Like that, especially a job like this is quite tiring... You should've sent a letter early in the morning and just finished the night not even once a month off."
"It was obviously exhausting."
"Aksa himself works as what?"
"I'm just an ordinary adventurer in the Lemuria continent, I happened to come here for a vacation."
"Maybe Aksa sent a letter there."
"True, I could have gone home with some transfer magic but in my village there was someone who must have been hard to let go of me again."
"Heh, high magic, is she your wife?"
"No, no, he's my teacher."
"I understand, ah look... It's there."
Mikan pointed towards the location of a dense forest where only that area was a long stretch of sand.
"Isn't it weird that there's sand in a place like this?"
"True, every creature that passes over it will have a worm attacking it."
I watched the flock of birds that crossed the sand, and sure enough something burst from there and ate the bird once a mouthful.
