Becoming a Witch in Another World
Chapter 57: The Witch of Meliana
A few hundred years ago in a beautiful village on a mountain, a beautiful girl sat on a tree branch while gazing at the view of the city below, his long, unraveling hair was blown off with leaves constantly flying around him.
The girl seemed fascinated by the sight until she forgot the book she was reading and muttered in a quiet voice that no one could hear.
Delicious, the world is vast.
The girl had wide eyes that were shiny and had mischievous and cute behavior, she said, when someone sees her walking they will be happy to look at her with a look of love and wonder who has such peerless beauty?
And I will answer it without hesitation.
Right, it's me. My name is 17-year-old Meliana who recently enjoyed reading books about magic.
Oh, I'm gonna be a witch now.
When I thought about that one called me from below, she was a girl my age with red hair.
"Mom told you to go home, if it's too late you won't get dinner."
"Gosh, it's like this hour."
"As usual you forget your time, Meliana."
"Sorry, sorry."
I jumped off a tree while holding a book and kept my dress from flying up.
"That ought to be very dangerous, you know?'
"Don't worry, I'm an expert."
The girl sighed softly and led me along with her.
"Hora, if we don't hurry, I'll be punished, too."
I could only laugh a little, she was indeed two years younger than me even so she was a figure that could be called an elder sister to me.
I sometimes feel embarrassed because our position has now turned around, by the way I am with him not a sibling, we just happened to meet on the street and he and his parents adopted me as part of his family.
When he arrived at the restaurant the food was presented at the dining table, the father who worked as a woodcutter had been there with the mother who was still in the kitchen.
"You're late, clean your bodies before you eat."
"Good."
We both said at the same time before we finally took a bath together.
"Meliana your chest is getting bigger."
"You whose body is bigger than mine, it's Margaret's cheating, I'll squeeze it."
"I'll hit you if you do that."
We washed each other's backs before changing our clothes, at the dinner table dad would always tell her his adventures when she was young and the stories she liked the most when she met mom.
Though I've heard it for hundreds of times I've never been bored.
"Margaret I said it, don't tell anyone."
"Dad forced me, sorry."
Mother who had cooked came into the conversation.
"Why should it be hidden, magic is not a great thing."
"No mother, instead of magic it is considered a scary thing. Witches and humans are also still fighting each other, I don't want to be like them."
"For mothers and fathers magic is not something to be feared.Sometimes humans fear something foreign to them, but we are sure that someday either witches or ordinary people will understand each other and be able to work together to make peace."
At that time I thought that the words would happen in the near future, but in just one night everything changed.
In the burning village I stood among the scattered corpses.
The ground had been inundated with blood while my father and mother hugged each other in his death.
Several times I called him I never saw them open their eyes again.
"Meliana, is that you?"
"Margaret, hang on. Don't leave me."
I immediately held her hand.
"I should have come home from the city soon."
"No, it's not your fault.if you come here early the witches will kill you too, get out of here quickly."
"But..."
"Life with Meliana instead of seeing the world, all the days I spent with you were so much fun."
I just cry without being able to do anything.
"Margaret," I shouted and before long a witch approached me with a book in her hand.
"Some one is alive."
"You did this, who are you?" I said while holding back the anger.
"Include my name Libel the magician the representative of the deadly sin of greed."
Before he knew it my hand had already pierced through his body.
"I can't help but see your movements at all. Guakh."
I pulled his heart out as he just collapsed to the side of losing his life.
While sitting down I could only scream in pain.
"UWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA."
