Becoming a Witch in Another World
Chapter 33: Colorful City
Under the dazzling afternoon sky, the air was now increasingly cold. And between them a pair of birds can be seen flying to tell us about the time we spent here.
As expected, we couldn't get anything by just sitting down and hoping the eels would eat the bait. Unlike my teacher who was just silent in frustration, I had gotten a lot of fish even though there were no eels in it.
Alyssa seemed to play them in the bucket.
"Teacher it's time to go home, I'm hungry."
"Please my dear student soon.I'm sure only a few seconds will my bait be eaten."
"Although you said so."
Soon my teacher's intuition was right, the lure was indeed drawn only he was even carried to the lake.
"Uwaha... Aksa."
"Take off the hook."
"No, it's my prey. I'll catch it."
I sighed softly while Alyssa just stared expressionlessly.
"Will he be okay?" he said and I answered.
"Of course."
I shouted at my teacher.
"Try using lightning magic to make him faint."
"Good idea."
A flash of lightning seemed to burst forth from within the lake, simultaneously a giant eel slowly floating on the surface of the water.
"I succeeded."
My master had flown over him, as he was about to get closer to his prey, an enormous fish appeared and swallowed the eel he had previously defeated.
Even I can't react with that.
"This lake is indeed filled with monsters."
In the end we had just enough to have dinner with the fish I caught, when the morning came was a farewell to us.
At the crossroads, Alyssa lowered her head towards the old man who had gone in his chariot while we were about to leave in our own carriage to continue the journey.
"Let's go Alyssa."
The control of the carriage I handed over to Miss Heliet, myself just sitting next to her while hugging Alyssa on my lap reading a book.
"Not that it's cheating, I also want to be hugged by Aksa."
"You're a grown-up teacher, please watch the way."
"It's not fair."
Letting the protest pass a city has welcomed our arrival, a beautiful city called the city of Bostos. In this city every house is painted differently with colorful streets that dazzle the eye, and, people were seen sitting in front of their houses and some were just sitting at the window while smoking cigarettes in their mouths.
Some clothes were hung in every alley and between them the children seemed to be chasing each other.
"What do you think Alyssa?"
"It's a beautiful city filled with rainbow colors."
"Rainbow colors," is what it looks like.
The train stopped right in front of the inn, rented a warehouse and the room ended with 1 gold coin, I asked why it was so expensive? Until the surprising thing expressed by the receptionist.
"Actually our city is in a critical period, because the landowner who likes to gamble he even mortgaged this city to the people he owed, he said, we're here trying to raise a lot of money that we're going to use to move in, sorry for the inconvenience."
"I don't care, I hope the teacher can learn about this matter."
"I've stopped gambling" he said proudly.
There is nothing good about gambling.
"Then how is the response from the Elysium kingdom?"
"I don't know but, it's possible that this owner will be detained while the city will be taken over and razed."
"Said?" said Miss Heliet.
"The man who was blinded was notorious as a bad man, I'm sure he'll turn his town into a place of gamblers or prostitution."
"It's not that bad."
Receptionis said again.
"We provide a hot spring bath, if you want please use it for free."
"Thank you."
We went up to the second floor where our room was.
