Chapter 70: Kindness Gets You Ridden
Luo Yuxi found herself in an unprecedentedly awkward situation. She had been led into an empty room by a palm-sized fairy. It wasn’t exactly dangerous, the fairy was only 10th Order, manageable for Luo Yuxi.
“You must know I’m a witch~”
“Aba, aba, aba… what’s for dinner tonight…?”
“Don’t play dumb! You think I’m that easy to fool…?”
Bertha flew around Luo Yuxi, flapping her wings. Luo Yuxi, looking at her tiny form, didn’t feel threatened. Although the witches she had encountered so far were all attracted to her, what could a palm-sized fairy do?
“Fine, I’ll stop pretending. Yes, I know you’re a witch. What? Are you going to silence me~?”
“Really, why would I do that…?”
Seeing Bertha’s lack of aggression, Luo Yuxi felt bolder, thinking, Even as a witch, a fairy isn’t a threat. But before she could say anything, Bertha landed on her palm, a pitiful look on her face.
“You know, I’m a fairy. Fairies are a communal race, the strongest among us is only 6th Order…”
“Eh…”
“For my race, I willingly became a witch, hoping to seek refuge in the Witch Kingdom. But even as a witch, my people are just playthings for those witches…”
Bertha wiped away her tears. Luo Yuxi, who had been prepared for threats, was caught off guard by this sudden change. Seeing Bertha’s vulnerable state, she felt a pang of sympathy.
“So why did you come to the Church…?”
“After failing to join the Witch Kingdom, I could only turn to a faction of equal power. But the Church doesn’t accept outsiders, so I could only seek refuge by offering my knowledge of witches and designing the Magical Girl equipment…”
Bertha choked back a sob. Luo Yuxi, looking at the tiny tears falling from her eyes, couldn’t think of anything comforting to say. This wasn’t in the game’s plot. The feeling of Bertha’s tiny form on her palm was strangely pleasant. No wonder she became a witch’s plaything.
“And if you reveal my identity, as a witch, I…”
“Alright, alright, I understand. I’m not like those Church fanatics who hate witches.”
Luo Yuxi sighed. She had just come to get new equipment, and now this. Bertha stood up and flew to Luo Yuxi’s forehead, giving her a light kiss.
“Thank you so much! If you don’t expose me and allow my race to continue receiving the Church’s protection, if you’re interested in my small body, I won’t resist anything you do~”
“Your body is smaller than my hand, what could I possibly do— Hmm~?”
Luo Yuxi stopped mid-sentence, looking at the fairy. Her snow-white hair, her translucent butterfly wings, her tiny yet perfectly proportioned body, her slender legs and delicate feet on Luo Yuxi’s hand, like two marshmallows.
“W-What’s wrong… Sister Nun? Your eyes are so scary…”
“Nothing, I was just wondering, what kind of service would a human girl like me receive at a fairy brothel…?”
“Oh, that. I thought you were going to use your Witch Domination skill.”
Bertha, relieved, landed on Luo Yuxi’s shoulder and whispered in her ear,
“If you’re so curious, Sister, why not see for yourself~?”
“No way, I’m a pure and virtuous nun, I can’t go to such an impure place!”
Luo Yuxi righteously refused, as if she were a law-abiding citizen. But inwardly, she was thinking of learning a disguise spell and visiting after work. A brothel run by fairies? How do you even…? I’m actually quite curious.
“I have to find a way to visit that street again…”
As Luo Yuxi was lost in thought, Bertha flew to a nearby table and used magic to pour a cup of tea, then levitated the tiny cup towards Luo Yuxi.
“Sister Nun, after chatting for so long, you must be thirsty. Would you like some tea~?”
Luo Yuxi took the cup and drank it without hesitation. Even if it was poisoned, she could heal herself. She didn’t notice the silver dust falling from Bertha’s wings into the tea, dissolving instantly.
“This tea is quite good~”
Bertha smiled mysteriously, no longer looking pitiful. Luo Yuxi finally felt something was wrong. Her mind became hazy.
“Wha… what’s… going… on…? Poisoning… tea… in this day and age…?”
Luo Yuxi leaned against the wall to maintain her balance, looking at Bertha, who had landed on the rim of the teacup, her delicate feet on the edge, a triumphant smile on her face.
“You think you can defeat me with this…?”
[Divine Art: Greater Heal]
A gentle green light enveloped her, and she felt strength returning, but the dizziness remained.
“What’s going on? Why isn’t it working?!”
“Healing magic only heals physical damage. But what if the drug I gave you doesn’t damage your body~?”
“Why… why are you doing this to me? Were you lying about everything you said…?”
“No, we do need the Church’s protection. I just wanted to make sure you wouldn’t talk. It’s your fault for being soft-hearted and not using your Witch Domination on me~”
Luo Yuxi’s legs went weak, and she collapsed, her eyes closing. Before she lost consciousness, she heard Bertha’s last words,
“Such a smooth body, the scent of honey~”
Luo Yuxi thought,
“Damn it, another one who’s after my body…“
