Chapter 54

It seemed inevitable that Leverianz’s wings, a part of his body, performed better than her broom.

 

Soon after, a bleak voice tickled Mirania’s ear, almost annoying for her to hear.

 

“You will be bothered for the rest of your life, but what if you are already annoyed, Mirania?”

 

Mirania was horrified, as if she had seen a ghost right in front of her and the face of the man who came next to her.

 

Whispering kindly was the same as usual, but the hardened smile like a picture and the faintly audible sound of the teeth gnashing represented Leverianz’s feelings.

 

‘He’s going to have a fit.’

 

Mirania calmly assessed Leverianz’s condition and poured mana on the broom.

 

The broom was enhanced at the maximum speed and moved forward as if it were being pulled.

 

At the sight of Mirania disappearing in the blink of an eye, Leverianz gritted and chased after her.

 

“Do you think you can run away?”

 

In the sky was a flock of waterfowl flying in a triangular formation.

 

The wind blew next to the flock of leisurely flying waterfowl. The moment when the flock of waterfowl chirps in bewilderment.

 

<b>Swoosh—</b> Mirania passed by.

 

Following that, Leverianz passed with a swoop.

 

<b>Whoosh!</b>

 

A strong wind blew the flock of birds away.

 

In particular, the bodies of relatively young birds that followed at the end of the flock even turned around.

 

Glancing back at Leverianz, Mirania snapped her fingers. The magical wind brought the flock back to its original state.

 

<b>“Twit?”</b>

 

The bewildered birds began to urge their way again. As if trying not to get caught up in it, the speed of Leverianz’s wings doubled.

 

‘There’s no end to this.’

 

Mirania took measures.

 

‘The sky was more favorable to Leverianz. If so, then I must change the environment.’

 

Determined, Mirania did not hesitate and turned to the ground without delay.

 

Following the sudden disappearance of Mirania again, Leverianz looked down at her and frowned.

 

Stride—  Mirania didn’t slow down even as the leafy forest approached in a second.

<b>Swoosh—</b>

 

The birds were frightened and shook their wings.

 

After passing through the thick foliage, Mirania slowed down by skillfully leading the broom and flew effortlessly between the branches.

 

‘In the forest of obstacles, I may be able to slow down Leverianz.’

 

It was the same for Mirania that she couldn’t speed up as fast as she could in the sky, but she judged that forest roads were more likely than sky roads to shake off Leverianz.

 

Perhaps it worked well, so the sound of the wings that followed became distant.

 

‘Yes, of course.’

 

No matter how many wings he has, he wouldn’t be able to beat me, who has been riding a broom for hundreds of years.

 

It was just as Mirania, smiling, was about to pass over a large tree branch.

 

‘Oh, my…!’

 

A heavy weight struck her. The broom carrying the weight added to the load that fell from above shook greatly.

 

Something heavy and hard hugged her neck. Mirania struggled to control the broom for the moment.

 

However, this was not an open sky, but a forest.

 

A huge acorn tree stood tall in the direction of Mirania.

 

<b>Bang!</b>

 

Eventually, the tip of the broom hit the trunk of the tree in front and bounced back.

 

<b>Rumble—</b>

 

Mirania, who fell to the forest floor, rolled on the floor while being held tightly by someone.

 

Her body, which had been rolling for a long time, came to a halt only when it touched the base of the tree.

 

Mirania, whose stamina was barely above average despite her powerful magic, her head spinning even though her body stopped.

 

‘… I’m really going to die at this rate.’

 

A low sound of breathing came into her ear as Mirania tried to calm her dizziness.

 

‘This breathing, this body temperature, this smell.’

 

Mirania being hugged tightly was able to confirm his identity.

 

Looking back, I met his clear black eyes, as if they had been staring at me.

 

Mirania sighed, “Get out of the way, Grecan.”

 

In case Mirania hurt her head, Grecan, who was holding the back of her head with care, moved his hand gently.

 

Mirania raised her eyebrows at the sight of Grecan stroking his head.

 

Grecan said earnestly, “I wasn’t hurt.”

 

‘It’s not as if I’m going to give you a bottle of medicine.’ Mirania thought inwardly.

 

Seeing Grecan relieved, Mirania pushed him and raised herself.

 

Mirania looked around, the broom remained where it fell, and the luggage seemed to have been crushed by the impact of the fall.

 

“If you hadn’t jumped from the tree, we wouldn’t have rolled.”

 

As Mirania swept down her messy hair and said, Grecan, who was lying down, also raised himself to sit.

 

“Mirania.”

 

<b>“…”</b>

 

“Where were you going?”

 

His innocent eyes sharpened. Mirania paused and stared at him.

 

Then Mirania spoke with her usual excuse, “I’m on my way to gather herbs.”

 

Leverianz’s sneering expression crossed Mirania’s mind.

 

“Medicinal herb?”

 

Grecan looked alternately at the broom and suitcase.

 

Mirania responded nonchalantly as she saw doubts spreading in his pure eyes.

 

“I was trying to gather from a remote place in the witch forest. As for Leverianz, where did you think I was going? Have I ever gone anywhere, Grecan?”

 

Grecan’s eyes blazed as Mirania spoke brazenly. The expression on his face as he shook his head was very innocent.

 

“No.”

 

“Right? So go back and wait nicely like a good wolf.”

 

Mirania’s voice softened just a little bit. Her heart was moved when she saw a docile Grecan, unlike Leverianz, who could see her head spinning tight.

 

As I stroked Grecan’s black hair, Grecan quietly closed his eyes with his unique pleasant expression.

 

Mirania stared at his face and slipped away, then crept along and grabbed her broom.

 

The moment I was about to leave.

 

<b>Swish—</b>

 

“Where are you going, Mirania?”

 

I stopped walking at the sound of a bright voice coming from behind.

 

This overly refreshing voice. There’s no such thing as more annoying than him!

 

‘You already followed me here?’

 

As I slightly lowered my head feeling the hem of my clothes being pulled, Grecian who I thought I had convinced was holding onto me.

 

Mirania’s face crumpled.

 

🧹

 

After a while, Mirania with her arm crossed and a sullen expression, and luggage at the end of the broomstick.

 

If anything else, I could grab my broom and run away, but…

 

Glancing sideways, Grecian and Leverianz are exquisitely located on each retreat.

 

‘I’m not some heinous criminal.’

 

<b>Sigh—</b>

 

“Go back.”

 

Grecan replied, “I don’t want to.”

 

He looked sulky, realizing that Mirania was about to leave him. Mirania sighed deeply when she saw Grecan, who was upset.

 

“You can go, Mirania.”

 

“We can follow. As a ‘bodyguard’.”

 

Leverianz, who speak with his wings folded finely, smiled undoubtedly.

 

“We can follow you. As a bodyguard.”

 

‘Yes, of course.’

 

Being a ‘bodyguard’ was a pun, and it was a nuisance, wasn’t it?

 

“Who would dare harm me? I don’t need that.”

 

The two immediately responded to Mirania’s cold words.

 

<b>“I need you, Mirania!”</b>

 

<b>“I need you.”</b>

 

They were two people who got along well every time they fought.

 

“Why?”

 

“Mirania can’t do everything, except she knows how to do it,” said Grecan.

 

“I feel weak, Mirania. That’s why I need you,” said Leverianz.

 

The answers were different, but both were subtly offended. Mirania alternately looked at the two with a frown.

 

Their eyes sparkle as if he were waiting for an answer.

 

Mirania looked up at the sky. Time had run out for scuffling, and it was already getting dim.

 

It was not a situation to relax like this, but time was passing by. Mirania nodded as she let out a sigh in the wind.

 

“… I get it.”

 

It looks like it would be difficult to get away from them, so I couldn’t help it.

 

‘I’d rather take them around and watch them.’

 

“Promise me one thing instead,” said Mirania.

 

“Promise?”

 

Facing their puzzled gaze, Mirania nodded.

 

“If you go to the human continent, you will meet many people you have never met before. Yes, you may meet the woman you love among them.”

 

“What?”

 

Leverianz and Grecan’s eyes became subtle. Mirania continued calmly, regardless of the expression they show as if she was saying strange things.

 

“It may or may not be. But if you ever meet a woman you love, you should tell me first before you do anything. That’s the only thing I want from you guys.”

 

At Grecan and Leverianz’s blank stares, Mirania shrugged as if that was enough.

 

Grecan said with a distant gaze, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

 

“I don’t know this time. What are you talking about all of a sudden? Is it a kind of suggestion?”

“I don’t even know about this one. What are you talking about all of a sudden? Is it some kind of suggestion?”

 

“I mean, if you want to hurt me, think about it at least once. For example, if you suddenly want to rip off my heart… Even if you want to, just think about the affection I raised you guys. Do you understand?”

 

The two frowned when Mirania, who was suddenly nervous at the thought of Alice the two of them meeting her, said sternly.

 

Seeing the expression that they still did not know what she was talking about, Mirania tried to say something but gave up.

 

‘Explaining and persuading hard won’t prevent what will happen.’ Mirania thought.

 

Fate was an inevitable monster.
