The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

[Moran: Holy Light Magic and Faith Magic are no longer worth learning, and there's no need for me to stay in the Holy City any longer. I'll probably be leaving soon. Thank you all for your help during this time.]

Agnes: Huh? You're leaving already?

[Bella: Even if you're leaving, you'll still be a member of our 8x Speed ​​Gossip Alliance. Remember to share lots of gossip in the group!]

Melinda: Yes, we're interested in gossip from other places too!

[Garona: Before we leave, let's have a real rainbow-robed city patrol!]

Moran: Okay.

……

Having decided to leave, Moran immediately posted a notice of closure at the entrance of the Magic Candy Shop.

The hermits who had come early to buy magic candy looked at the four large red characters "Closed for Business" on the white paper and suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen.

"It's only been three days since it opened! Why is it closed already?"

"Does the witch not know the difference between 'closed for business' and 'temporarily suspended for business'?"

"No! I really can't live without these magical candies!"

"Boss! Boss, come out here!"

"This witch finds running a shop a bit boring, so I've decided to put the magic candy recipe on the Scales of Knowledge and sell it to the Dawn Academy at a later date. Those interested in magic candy can check out the Dawn Academy's card shop. — The owner of the Magic Candy Shop."

"Look everyone, the boss said he'll sell the magic candy recipe to the Dawn Academy!"

"Really? I searched, but I didn't find it!"

"Doesn't this say to choose an auspicious date? Shouldn't we have to wait a few more days?"

"As long as I can still buy it in the future, I need to start saving up some gem coins in advance."

……

Lu Wen and Millie, who were worried about how to get the owner of the Magic Candy Shop to leave the Holy City as soon as possible, felt like this announcement was a windfall.

They had considered having Millie emerge from the Heavenly Gate and confront the owner of the Magic Candy Shop, forcing her to quit her business and leave the Holy City. They could then hand over the Magic Candy recipe to the Dawn Academy, allowing them to buy as much Magic Candy as they wanted.

As a result, two angels who were about to advance in rank came yesterday, and they both obediently only bought thirty candies.

Lu Wen and Miril knew that angels would never abide by the rules they considered "ants." If they did, there was only one possibility: the other party was not an ant they could manipulate at will, but a truly enormous being.

Unexpectedly, after just one night, the owner realized that running the shop was no longer worthwhile and decided to leave!

“Even the heavens are on our side!” Lu Wen said to the light and shadow fairy hidden beside him.

“Yes!” Millie said, “We can spend more time together again.”

As they were talking, the door to the magic candy house was suddenly opened from the inside.

Moran, now with purple hair and eyes and wearing a purple witch's robe, walked out of the door.

The hermits scattered as if they had encountered a plague.

"A new witch has arrived in the Holy City?"

"She doesn't seem to be a new witch, but rather the owner of the candy store. Her face hasn't changed yet! I heard that witches have magic potions that can change the color of hair and eyes."

"What...what happened to her?"

"I used to think she was different from other witches! Now it seems she hasn't truly accepted or worshipped the light from the bottom of her heart!"

"Boss! You're really doing this wrong! You looked so good before. If I looked like you, I'd be laughing in my sleep. Now... you're so ugly!"

"Yes! Let's get it dyed back quickly!" Originally, Moran would just go along with the hermits' "suggestions," even if she didn't intend to listen, she would still give them a perfunctory reply. Now that she didn't plan to stay in the Holy City any longer, she wasn't going to make herself suffer any more.

Hearing their words, she retorted directly: "I think I look pretty good like this. But you guys, all white, look like a bunch of ignorant lambs, the kind that's been slaughtered and eaten, and thinks you've been saved. Tsk~"

They've been assimilated into fanatics by the holy light of the angels, and they're even smug about it. Don't they look like ignorant lambs being raised by angels?

The angels kept them here not to take care of them, but to give newly advanced angels practice in harvesting the power of faith!

Moran wasn't afraid that her words would arouse the angels' suspicion. After all, high-ranking angels who had lost their emotions and were left with only reason would not be interested in this continent that could no longer provide them with the power of faith.

The only ones who send light and shadow fairies to secretly observe the Holy City and the Sacred Mountains are the low-ranking angels. They fight one by one, or two by two.

"you……"

When it comes to arguing, the hermits, who have lost all emotions and are left only with the worship of light, are far inferior to Moran, who is unleashing his full power.

After leaving the group of hermits speechless, Moran went to the Holy Song Lily of the Valley Tea Restaurant to find other witches, feeling quite pleased with herself.

As Lu Wen watched her departing figure, he thought to himself, "So she was never affected by the power of the Holy Light!"

“Witches are such an enviable race!” Millie said.

If angels could also allow their people to retain their emotions, instead of having to give them up for power, she and Luwen wouldn't be having such a difficult time now.

At the Holy Song Lily of the Valley Tea Restaurant, witches dressed in different colored clothes gathered together.

"Ready? Let's go!" Garona said.

"Wait! I've prepared this for everyone!" Moran pulled out a box of colorful smoke bombs: "Everyone, tie these to your brooms! They'll definitely fill the sky above the Holy City with different colors!"

After hearing Moran's description, the witches were filled with anticipation for the colored smoke bombs.

They each picked out a smoke bomb that matched the color of their clothes, tied it securely to their brooms, and then filed out on their brooms.

As soon as it rose into the sky, the smoke bomb was ignited.

Suddenly, smoke of various colors shot out from the tail of the broom, spreading across the sky like a real rainbow.

"Ah ho~"

"This is a real rainbow!"

"Hahaha! Look at the hermits, they're about to die of anger!"

"I guess we've helped them regain some of their composure!"

"You helped others again today!"

……

The hermits on the ground were so frightened by the colorful sky that they lost their expressions.

"What a disaster! The Holy City has been corrupted by a witch!"

"O Light, why do you not send messengers to purify the skies above the Holy City!"

……

In the sacred cemetery, Reuven and Millie looked up at the sky.

"I haven't seen such vibrant colors in ages!"

"It's so beautiful!" (End of Chapter)
