Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 173 Sunshine Maid World Anne (not)

At the same time, in the reception room.

The Black Death's reception room was a rectangular hall with angled corners. The ceiling was decorated with light patterns, and the surrounding walls were hung with solemn murals. The frames were of the same shape, and each painting was separated by a glittering shield.

Anne, the blonde maid, served tea to Wendy and the other two, and then sat down on a chair next to Wendy. She took the wine glass and drank the light beer while looking at Wendy with a bad face.

Wendy watched in fear as Anne, who was tall and had exaggerated biceps under her short-sleeved maid outfit, took a sip of light beer, and then another sip of light beer. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. Looking at the other party's gloomy face, as a time traveler, she was always worried that the maid in front of her would take out the ancient ingot knife from behind and kill her at any time.

I didn’t invade the territory of Da Wu… Wendy complained in her heart.

"…I mean, the one with red hair."

After a while, Annie whispered, "Where are you from?"

Me? I'm actually from another world...

Wendy complained in her heart and replied, "I was born in Intis, and went to Lenburg when I grew up. Later, I went to Loen to work for a while..."

"Alright, alright, I'm not asking you that much." Annie waved her hand impatiently, and Wendy was so scared that she shut up immediately. "I just wanted to ask you, do you have any sisters who are about your age?"

"No, I am an only child and my parents are dead."

Wendy answered honestly.

"No... I thought you were her sister or something."

Anne murmured in slight surprise.

No, what I say doesn’t count... Wendy’s mind was full of thoughts, and all kinds of crazy ideas came to her mind.

I don’t know why the original owner started out as an orphan. Maybe the author was just too lazy to write it?

"...Are you also a Beyonder? If so, what's your way?" Annie was silent for a while, then suddenly asked.

"Generalist Path, Sequence 8 'Archaeologist'..."

Under the pressure of Anne's sturdy biceps, which were unique to farmers, Wendy quickly made a decision on whether to keep the secret of being a Beyonder.

"Extraordinary ability, show it off."

Anne seemed a little unconvinced. The female pirate, whose muscles were as exaggerated as her bust, leaned forward slightly, and just this simple movement made Wendy feel a little breathless.

"Okay, okay..."

Wendy cautiously took out a clicking clock from her luggage, disassembled it into parts all over the table at an extremely fast speed, and then put it back together with the same skillful movements that were dazzling to watch.

Why do I feel a bit like recruitment...

Wendy carefully placed the assembled clock in front of Anne, and wound up the clockwork, allowing it to start playing the programmed piano music.

"Is that all?" Annie showed an incredible expression on her face.

"I'm still low sequence..." Wendy looked depressed.

"Forget it. Anyway, I just need to confirm that you are not the arsonist."

Annie curled her lips and said, "My attitude just now was not very good, please don't mind it."

Your attitude right now isn't much better... Wendy smiled weakly, feeling unusually tired.

"Hey, can you please tell me what happened to the 'arsonist'?"

Vinata, who was comforting the frightened Sophie, knocked on the table in dissatisfaction. She knew that Adele was a member of the "Witch Cult" and belonged to the same organization as Tracy. It was highly unlikely that they would fall out, so she was not as cautious as Wendy. Now that she heard the hostility towards the "arsonist" in Anne's words, she could no longer sit still.

"…Are you the arsonist?"

Anne's eyes, which had softened somewhat, suddenly turned cold again and looked straight at Vinata.

"So what?" Venata was not afraid of the other party, and calmly "provoked" him: "You hate the arsonist so much, could it be that your man was taken away by an arsonist?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became oppressive. The muscles on Anne's exposed arms suddenly swelled up, and she silently grabbed the table leg. Vinata also had an orange-yellow high-temperature fireball in her hand, and her other hand reached for the pistol at her waist.

However, the tense atmosphere lasted only a few seconds, and Anne's momentum slowly subsided. Vinata also immediately removed her ability, but the expressions of both sides were still quite unfriendly.

"…You sound just as annoying as she does."

Anne squeezed out these few words from between her clenched teeth.

"Although I don't know who you are talking about, I am happy to see you like this, as a 'provocateur'." Venata shrugged.

"If you and her were swapped in appearance," Anne pointed at Wendy, who was trembling beside her, "I would tear your mouth apart before you could see the captain, and then tie you to a rock and sink you into the sea."

"If I have a chance, I'll try." Vinata said nonchalantly, "I look forward to your expression then."

"...Also, although you have nothing to do with her, I still want to ask you a question on behalf of the captain."

Anne was choked by Venata and couldn't speak for a long time. She had to turn to Wendy and said, "Have you ever seen or heard of a person named Elaine in Intis? ... She may have changed her name. She looks similar to you. She is a, uh, 'arsonist'."

"I haven't seen it...it's been a long time since I last went back to Intis."

Wendy answered, and at the same time, based on the plots of the yuri books she had bought at the comic convention before, she imagined long stories with the maid in front of her as the protagonist.

"I told you it wouldn't be that easy to find her..." Annie muttered, then said, "Anyway, if you find any trace of her, find a way to tell me. Don't alarm her during this time."

"...What will you do after you find her?" Wendy asked subconsciously.

"Tie her up, put her in a sack and throw her in front of the captain," Anne replied simply.

Don't take this for granted! Wendy shouted in her heart, but she could only smile dryly.

"Did your captain ask you to do this?" Vinata raised her eyebrows.

"No, the captain said he would set her free. The reward for finding Elaine has been abandoned for a long time." Unexpectedly, Annie shook her head and said, "This is my own decision, and I will pay the reward."

Anne grabbed her blonde hair in annoyance. "The captain hasn't gotten rid of that woman's clothes yet. She's still torturing herself. I feel like she has no appetite lately... It's true that I hate that girl, but I don't want to see the captain like that."
