Becoming a Witch in Another World
Chapter 165: The Hidden Story
We were taken to a small settlement where squirrels would usually nest in tree holes, but instead they made small houses with their own hands.
"It's amazing" Sirius said, representing our thoughts, about 50 squirrels swarming in front of us, of course the women of my group didn't let this go, they all hugged the whole squirrel while shouting "Cute... Cute."
The squirrel I had previously met was standing on my shoulder while chewing the beans, this forest is called a magical forest where all the animals in it can speak human language it is caused by someone who used to come here, he used holy magic to make all the animals here talk.
I don't know what he was thinking when he turned this forest into this?
The squirrel on my shoulder started to explain.
"All the animals here all decided to live in peace, even the predators who like to hunt us switched to looking for food in the river like fish and others."
"so."
Soon two squirrels ran from the crowd towards me.
"They're my wife and children, not that they're so cute."
"Sorry to disappoint you, but to me you all look alike."
"Impossible."
The squirrels on my shoulders came down and they hugged each other.
"I told you not to go too far."
"Sorry-sorry but I brought an important guest today, can you make a nice meal for them."
"Give it to me."
I feel bad eating squirrel food.
"Mr Aksa, are we going to stay here?"
"Just for a while, I need to teach them to make medicine, at least we'll stay for three days."
They look very happy.
"In that case, I want to play them as much as I want, they're so cute."
"I like the soft ones."
On the other hand the squirrels are like overwhelmed to be made like a doll. I feel guilty.
We were given a variety of fruits collected by squirrels, although all small sizes still taste good. In return I also have to do my duty.
I began to teach sharing the knowledge of herbs, initially there was only one squirrel in an instant the number increased.
"So then, it can be used for minor injuries."
"Make sure to pound it until it's soft."
"We understand."
Every day I diligently teach them while my colleagues just play with them all day.
Their faces said very satisfied, until the fourth day we said goodbye.
"me too... Hueeeh."
Naula who was greedy cried, it turns out that she can also cry not only on money.
In the end we left and two days later we arrived at a beautiful city. This city is a neutral city that is not in the territory of any kingdom.
The people here also look very friendly.
"You adventurers, did you go through the magical forest?"
"We played with squirrels, they were so cute" Sirius said.
"Playing?"
"I'm a witch, the squirrels over there asked me to teach them how to make drugs."
"Well, you must be very kind. Squirrels there really like to imitate human life."
I remember how the squirrels cook, to be honest it doesn't taste good to humans, they use spices from caterpillar fluid and flowers.
"I'm surprised too."
"Are you guys gonna stay here?"
"Maybe three days."
"Well, may you enjoy living here. This city is very historic."
We left the guards and started walking down the main street of the city, in contrast to the city I had been through, the city was obviously very peaceful.
My steps came to a halt when I saw a statue that I could hardly believe, I approached to confirm it.
"What's the matter, Mr Aksa?"
"Did you fall in love with her statue?" added Marine.
"I know this statue."
"Is that so."
Before long a grandmother approached me, she stood beside me and said.
"He was the one who saved the continent from the monsters, but unfortunately some people even thirsted for power and started creating their empires to compete with each other."
"Would there not have been a kingdom on this continent?" I asked back.
And the grandmother nodded and continued.
"True, this continent would be better off if there were no governments or countries governing it. If you're curious about the history, you can go to the bookstore in town and buy the story."
I hurriedly ran into the store to buy one of the books in question.
On top of the book I'm holding there's a name I know very well, he's....
"Jeanne d'Arc."
