The Return of the Mad Witch
Valencia Steals Mango Fruit

A strand of vines suddenly grabbed his feet from the water. Valencia's body was pulled forcibly until he fell and then sank to the bottom of the lake. His body was being pulled too deep by the plant. Valencia calmed down before finally acting.

'The one who attracted me was the creepy monster.'

Yes, what pulled Valencia's body to the bottom of the lake was a creeping monster that had lived in this lake for many years. Usually they attack humans, just because no humans visit this lake, so he has no chance to attack humans. Until today Valencia also came, he considers Valencia as the main food.

Quickly Valencia took action before he sank even further. Just before his body was completely wrapped in the vines, Valencia launched a brutal attack. He uses magic that causes chaos in the lake.

Valencia was fighting in the water, it took a fierce attack that left the vines shattered into pieces. Water level surged as a result of Valencia attack. The girl immediately spilled the water of the fairy lake onto the ground and wet some of the plants that grew adjacent to the lake.

Valencia rushed back to the surface of the water, now the lake is clean from the monster creeping and there will be no human victims.

"Truly an unlucky day! It's a good thing that I was able to deal with them without being constrained" Valencia muttered dry his clothes.

Valencia continued with his previous plan of picking flowers that he had just seen, namely sara flowers. A flower that only grows twenty stems in the world every ten years. Luckily, he found the flowers quickly.

"Thank God I first figured out the existence of the sara flower, so now I can pluck it to be used as a wound healing cream on Xeros face."

Valencia also took a bit of fairy lake water to take home as a mixture of cream. Then the girl immediately left the lake after finding everything she needed.

"What's this sweet scent? Directions from there."

Valencia deflected his steps in the other direction after sniffing a sweet scent in the middle of the mountain range. Valencia follows a path filled with flowers on each shoulder of the road.

"If I take a closer look, it seems that this whole path is filled with well-treated flowers. Is there anyone who takes care of these flowers?" valencia muttered alone.

Upon arriving on the road that leads to the river, Valencia discovered where the sweet aroma came from. The aroma was sourced from a fruitful mango tree. Valencia gulped for saliva as he watched the mango piled on top of the tree.

"I can't help it anymore, I'm going to climb up now."

Valencia climbed on top of the mango tree, his newly filled stomach full again hungry after smelling the scent of mango.

Valencia ate voraciously one by one the mango. Unknowingly, he had apparently consumed half of his mango. Until then, came a man from the opposite direction carrying an expression of sumringah.

"Today I will harvest the mangoes I planted six months ago. I can't wait to enjoy the sweet mango that I brought from the Kingdom of Karely."

That's what he said, the man was very enthusiastic about picking the mangoes he planted and took care of wholeheartedly. Until when he witnessed the scene that ignited his anger.

"What the fuck?" The man with black and silver eyes was glued to see the abundance of mango skin scattered on the ground. He raised his head up a tree and found Valencia relaxing there.

"Hey, you! Did you steal my mango?" his screams were covered in emotion.

Valencia looked down. "stealing? Doesn't this mango nobody have?"

"Abroad! This mango tree I planted myself! It took six months for this tree to bear fruit!"

Valencia jumped down, he still didn't feel guilty for stealing someone else's property.

"Six months? You took six months to plant it? Can't an ordinary mango tree bear four to five years?"

"That's why you're mad at you! This mango tree is so unique, I painstakingly brought it from the Kingdom of Karely. But you ate it without my permission."

Valencia observed the mango tree, he let the man blabber as he pleased.

'I thought I was wrong, but it was true that this mango seedling came from Mihovil. Mango seeds sprinkled with magic can grow faster than mango in general.'

Then suddenly the man patted Valencia on the back.

"Didn't you hear me?! You're not even apologizing to me!"

Valencia glanced sharply at the man's face, he was tall and had a stocky body. His hand was covered in scars, it showed that the man was a very strong man.

"I didn't know this mango was yours, after all why did you plant it here?! Anyone would have thought that this mango tree grew by itself without having an owner," Valencia reply did not want to lose.

"Can't you see the board next to the tree?" point the man beside the mango tree. "I've put up a ownership sign! But why are you unconscious? Your eyes blind?!"

A pair of Valencia netra perfectly rounded, he didn't see the sign of his possession and only realised it now.

"But it's still your fault! Who told you to plant mango trees in the mountains? You should have planted it in your own land." Valencia still does not want to admit his mistake.

"I've bought half the land from this place! Lookie! There are many flower beds that thrive and are well maintained around this place. The flowers I planted! Don't give up again."

The man immediately opened his bag, he carried wherever the evidence of land purchase went.

"It! Here's proof! I bought this land two years ago."

Once again Valencia was stunned, it turned out that the man did not lie.

"There should be flower gardens in the mountains that are rarely visited by humans" murmured Valencia. "Although that's the case, it's still your fault! I didn't know this mango tree was yours."

The man began to grow angry with Valencia's childish behavior. His pair of burly hands suddenly touched Valencia's shoulders.

"Basic you're a fucking girl! I've been waiting a long time to enjoy this super sweet mango, but you ruined my dream! You have to take responsibility!"

The man shook Valencia's body until it made the girl dizzy. He did it to make Valencia aware of what he was doing.

"What's responsible? There are still many mangoes left on the tree. I only ate half of it. Just let me know your mango fruit. The tree will bear fruit again after six months" Valencia said.

"Is that what you mean by half?" The man pointed again to the top of his tree. Only a few more pieces left hanging on the twigs.

"Indeed half, half less."

The man let out a rough breath, he was confused as to how else to deal with Valencia.

"Accept this, let's just say I bought your mangosteen." Valencia handed him a bag of gold coins to compensate the mangoes he ate.

"I don't need the money!" sniff the guy.

"Then what do you need? Do you need a kiss from me?" canda Valencia's.

The man rolled a lazy eyeball, he looked at the disdain of Valencia.

"Kiss? You're crazy, aren't you? Why would I need a kiss from a ten-year-old little boy?" he answered while smiling.

Valencia felt stupefied because it was said to be a ten-year-old little boy. His face instantly turned sour.

"Don't call me a little boy! I'm fifteen years old. So irritating!"

Valencia nagged the man, he was annoyed at being considered a boy. Although his current body is indeed very small, but that does not mean he is willing to be ridiculed as a small boy.

"Hahaha, fifteen years but this short?" The man chuckled, his stomach amused at the true age of Valencia. "You're still younger than me. I'm three years older than you. Quickly call me Brother," he continued mocking.

"All right, old man."

The man was speechless after hearing Valencia calling him old man. It felt like an arrow was pulling out his chest. He looked so upset, Valencia really made him lose his mind.

"Old man? I'm not that old for you to call old man! Shut the fuck up before I close it."

Valencia's facial expression was really emotional. He stared at the man flatly, his sour expression changing very quickly.

"No, old man. I'll keep calling you old man." Valencia threw his face away, he put a haughty look in front of the man.

"How dare you! I'll break your bones, "the bluff caught Valencia's wrist.

"Yeah!" suddenly Valencia scream. "This old man will kill me, help me!"

Spontaneous the man removed his grip from Valencia's wrist. He was surprised to hear Valencia suddenly shouting.

Valencia smiled cunningly, he immediately ran away from before the man.

"Hahaha, you're fooled! I'm gonna run away now. Next time do not like that again to another woman," exclaimed Valencia rushed out of the man's sight.

"Hey, don't run away! You must take responsibility! You thief!"

The man didn't give up so easily, he chased Valencia to hold Valencia accountable for the heist. He chased after the girl at maximum speed. Wishing he could catch him then make Valencia regret his actions.

"Come catch me if you can! No one can keep up with my running speed" Valencia stuck out a tongue mocking the man.

As Valencia said, he was very fast. He managed to trick the man and disappeared from the sight of the man.

"Damn! I lost track of him. Just be careful if you meet me later. I will make him regret for stealing my precious mangosteen fruit" he muttered deciding to go back again picking the remaining mangoes.
