A: Magic Forest

"What does that mean?" Miss Peony raised her head and reflexively turned her head towards Lila.

Lila looked at Miss Peony. Their gazes clashed together accompanied by a smile on Lila's face. "Anyway, Miss has done her best for us, hasn't she?"

"But, Peony can't save you yet. Existing, the Peony is causing even more chaos at the moment. Huaa, because of Peony, you're in danger."

Lila still maintained her smile. If only his hands were free from the rope, it was certain that the first thing he would do right now was to give his clumsy companion the tightest hug.

"Ah, not really." Lila denied Miss Peony's words calmly. He tilted his head then began to give a burst of spirit to Miss Peony.

"From now on, Miss is the one who tried the hardest among us. Miss has helped a lot. Miss told you that the manuscript that Cia and I found earlier was a fake. Miss has also let Miss's body be under the influence of red wine to save us. So, from where can Miss say that Miss brought us into this kind of mess. There are, even we who bring Miss into this big problem because it considers Miss's words as just the wind."

Miss Peony's eyes became teary after listening to the words of the witch beside her this one. He who had once thought that he was one of the most failed magicians in the wizarding world, gradually began to change his mind.

Finally, after a long time, Miss Peony smiled again. "Thank you, Lila. Because of you, Peony didn't get hurt."

"It's okay. Besides, what's wrong isn't Miss, it's Aliga." Lila began to insinuate Aliga who turned her back to her position blatantly. Aliga who heard it, of course, immediately went up.

"Oi!" his reply. There was an offended tone in the man's speech just now. Lila laughed so hard that she made her stomach hurt. Finally he could make that temperamental cold-blooded witch upset. His heart found happiness in the midst of this precarious state.

To be honest, Lila also had the same thoughts as her best friend. I don't know how long he's been tied to this uncomfortable position. Being in a still position can still feel pain, let alone try to move a lot.

The same state was pointed out by Aliga and Miss Peony. Their bodies also feel pain because of the rope ties mine. The goblins tied them up too tightly until they became like this.

Lila couldn't take it anymore. He finally complained to Miss Peony. "Miss, my neck hurts. Cia's neck hurts too. Aliga's neck hurt too. What do we do now?"

"My neck doesn't hurt! You don't make it up like that, damn girl!"

"Oi, don't lie! You've obviously been in pain from before!" Lila began to defend her argument.

"Nothing!" Not to lose, Aliga returned to reply to Lila's words. He did not want to lose to the girl.

"Didn't you just complain and crackle? Don't think I can't hear it yeah, pfftt ...."

"I-it-it-"

"Ah, Peony got the idea!"
