A: Magic Forest

(22)

Miss Peony's eyes suddenly opened wide. His pupils turned bright yellow and he again set his feet on the ground. Lila fell silent and gulped her saliva nervously. He was thinking about the change of his companion that is quite drastic.

Miss Peony quickly raised her magic wand before her consciousness was completely snatched away by the alcohol completely. Steadily, he pointed at the sky with his staff and shouted, "Bubblizerus!"

One by one, yellow bubbles emerged from Miss Peony's wand. Initially, bubbles only appeared bit by bit. However, after a minute had passed, a burst of bubbles began to occur.

Lila took refuge behind the senior witch's back so as not to be exposed to the effects of the drunken bubble. However, right after all the bubbles had successfully formed, someone snapped from a distance.

"Who's there?!" A burly goblin seemed to run towards the back of one of the huts that became the hiding place of Lila and Miss Peony.

Lila's panicking. In this case, their plans would definitely be in vain and it was certain that they would join the dinner menu of the goblins after this.

"Miss, someone's coming!"

"Hahaahhhh?" Miss Peony turned her back and looked at meu towards Lila. He tilted his head and smiled foolishly. "Whoa?" ask her in a strange tone.

Lila was panicking. The situation was already very precarious, but Miss Peony's behavior even became strange like this.

The shoulder-length blonde pulled Miss Peony's arm and told her to look at a goblin rushing towards their impromptu headquarters.

"Look at that, Miss! The goblins know our place!"

"Eeehh?" Miss Peony placed her index finger on her lips while looking up. "It seemed, it was because of Peony's scream earlier. Hehehe. Heee."

But, the risk he had to bear would not be that easy.

If he cast his magic, which was a burst of fire, it would definitely attract the attention of the goblins still left in the field. And guess what happens next? They'll both get caught sooner.

What is needed to defeat this one goblin is a magic that does not make a sound. And the magicians in their group who could do such a thing were only Cia and Miss Peony.

Unfortunately, what Lila had to save right now was Cia and the only hope she had was Miss Peony. He cursed himself because Miss Peony was now getting drunk.

The goblin's steps sounded clearer. Lila crouched down and closed her eyes. "It's been, it's been" he told himself resignedly.

He closed his eyes for a long time, but no more footsteps could be heard. The girl was confused. The goblins should have found them, he thought.

Slowly, he opened his eyelids to see the surroundings. He looked down and how surprised he was when he saw a goblin's body lying near his feet. He raised his head to take a clearer look and found that Miss Peony had already occupied the sleeping goblin's body gracefully.

"Yeeyy, Peony managed to defeat him. Hehehe" said the woman, still drunk.

Lila put on a look of a wave. "Oh, Peony managed to touch this bubble to his nose yeeyy. Hehe." Without being asked, Miss Peony had already first answered Lila's disbelief.

The woman then stood up and extended her hand to Lila. The girl received the hand of her companion and then stood up.

"So, let's put them to sleep! Hehe."
