My Wicth System 2

Avarium is the cursed land of demon beasts that even many witches and elementalists avoid. Eighty percent of the plants grown here are poisonous. Even the most vulnerable animals have the potential to attack. For example, even if ant-like clius beetles are an inch long, it is not possible to crush them and kill them. It is impossible to kill them except with light or fire magic. As an attack, giant claws bite your flesh in small pieces until you're riddled with holes. Did I mention that these ants are the weakest of all creatures here?

When Reina woke up in the straw bed, the first thing she did was check her whole body.

When she was convinced that the organs and limbs in her body were healthy, he got up from the bed and sought her savior.

The empty hut consisted of a living room and a bedroom. The kitchen was integrated with the living room.

The fireplace was still burning. She threw another log on the side into the dwindling fire.

The structure of the house is simple, but the furniture is too big even for a child. The thought that came to mind made him shudder.

A child-eating giant?

If the giant wasn't quite small for his house, she ran out of the house without looking back.

In this world where fairy tales are true, it was useful to be cautious against all kinds of creatures.

She rummaged through the kitchen in hopes of finding something to eat.

Sh took some vegetables and mutated's meat and chopped them into a large bowl. It wasn't very promising in small hands for someone who hadn't cooked with her hands for a long time, including in her previous five hundred years of life.

When the food was cooked, the door was forced open. The burly man looked at Reina with a stupid smile on his face.

"oh kid you're awake"

The big man's tender voice was sincere, despite the scar on his face.

Reina giggled involuntarily.

Even in her greatest dreams, she would not have thought that the man he met in the shadow of the world would be the natives of Avarium.

The warrior race, who lived in a closed way to the outside world, evolved in body and strength to continue their lives within these demon beasts. They were taller than normal people, the men's height was two meters, the women's height was around ninety.

In her previous life, she had not had the opportunity to coincide with these Avarium people, who are fond of the concept of family.

She showed a cute expression, wanting to take this chance.

"Yes thank you"

A five-hundred-year-old witch was trying to be cute with a childlike innocence.

Throwing the thoughts in his mind behind the scenes, she showed the food she had just cooked.

"Are you hungry?"

Giant Man grinned from ear to ear, brushed off the dust and went inside.

"A kid who can cook isn't bad at all"

He set aside the newly caught clawed rabbits in his hand.He quickly set the table and took a spoon without hesitation.Then he sped up and finished the meal.

"Bringing you home was a logical decision."

The smile on his face turned to hesitation.He knew best. His people would not open their doors to foreigners. That's why he couldn't take this boy to his tribe even if he wanted to.

"Do you remember your name girl?"

Reina shook her head quickly and put her food aside. He wanted to greet like a noble. He quickly got off the high chair and, with a slight nod, said the new name he was pleased with.

"Calista Reina De Catres"

Watching the boy with a smile on his face, the giant man scratched his hair and said, "Oh so you must be a noble, my name is Oliver little lady. I live here as a hunter. Even if I saved you, I can't take you with me to my own tribe."

Although Reina knew the reason, she adapted as if she didn't. She looked like a curious innocent child. Old acquaintances who saw the current appearance of the five-hundred-year-old witch would shudder.

"Why?"

Oliver answered, avoiding Reina's gaze, under the pretext of taking his empty plate to the kitchen. A sense of guilt inevitably arose.

"My tribe does not welcome foreigners."

Reina continued to eat her meal, sitting at the table to finish her meal.

"my parents said I shouldn't talk to strangers. You should listen to your family too"

Oliver looked at the little girl with a smug smile.

"Where is your family, young lady?"

He finished the plate and scrambled to Oliver's side and handed him the dirty plate. She began to tell the lie she had planned earlier.

"My mother is looking for a flower here. She told me to wait. She will come back when she finds the flower."

"Ah.."

Oliver's eyes trembled with sadness as he looked at the girl's innocent face.

The child must have been abandoned or her mother already dead.

The only flower to look for in the area where he found the child should be the flower of new life. Although it is a rare species that is often used as a cure, there is always a demon beast guarding it.

"And your father?"

Reina continued her role, staring at Oliver with her wide-open eyes. She brought her index finger to her lips.

"Shh... Don't talk about the father, if my mother hears me, she will get angry and cry. The father did not listen to the mother, she went too far. The mother is angry with her because of this. Reina will listen to the mother so that the mother will not be angry"

Tears welled up from Oliver's flushed nose and watering eyes as he drifted off into her childish speech.

Startled in surprise, she looked at the big man who was crying like a child.

Maybe she was acting, but he didn't expect this man to feel sorry for her family history she made up. Despite his stern appearance, he must have had a childlike pure spirit. Although Reina felt sorry for the man, she had to continue her role.

"Are you hurting somewhere?"

He nodded silently and stroked Reina's head with his big hand.

"No, I got dust in my eye."

Reina seemed to have found a new discovery about the natives of Avarium.

Childlike and watery-eyed, these people, however frightening they may seem, had soft hearts.

"Why don't you get some sleep? Kids need sleep to grow up fast."

Oliver tucked the little girl into the Hay bed and covered him with old fur.

As soon as Reina Oliver left, she sat up in bed and tried to feel the mana.

It had been almost two hours when the dim lights began to gather around him.

Still, it was a huge success. She had spent two days feeling a tiny bit of light in her previous life.

One of the reasons for this is that Avarium has a lot of mana-filled air. She took a deep breath and gave it back slowly. tiny radiant grains of dust began to flow towards her body.

As the sun was about to rise, her eyes closed and she fell slowly onto the bed. The abundant energy made her body feel warm, inviting him to a sweet tiredness.

This time, her eyes were closed, not fear but peace.
