You think you're worthy of saving the world?

What she longed for wasn't Yuri's help, but simply to see him again, to touch him again, and to speak to him again—

The burning, throbbing sensation that lingered in my chest was undoubtedly a mixture of "love" and "desire."

Rosalia once thought these were words that had nothing to do with her.

But once she actually experienced it, she immediately accepted the truth.

"...Ugh, huh?"

Rosalia sucked on her thumb, and with a flustered, seductive breath, slowly squeezed her long, slender, fair legs together.

"I'm sorry, Cecilia... Mommy has changed her mind and isn't going to give Yuri to you anymore..."

The Empress secretly vowed: the next time she sees Yuri, she will definitely devour him completely.

……

……

……

The time came in the afternoon.

Yuri didn't eat lunch but didn't feel hungry.

This may also be a characteristic of the "Witch's House," where the flow of time is different from that of the outside world.

The "wicked witch" seemed to have something to deal with, and after giving Yuri a gentle reminder, "If you dare to run away, I'll kill you?", she temporarily left this miniature world.

Yuri finally had some free time for the first time after entering the dungeon.

He sat by the sunlit windowsill, resting his chin on his hand and gazing at the rabbits and squirrels playing on the lawn, savoring the long-lost pleasant afternoon.

Immersed in the feeling of being in a fairy tale world, Yuri recalled the settings she had heard about while playing the game.

If the "Demon King's Domain" is the essence and origin of witches.

So "The Witch's House" is the landscape of the witch's inner world.

In other words, what that fierce, red-haired female demon witch actually longed for was a tranquil and natural fairytale world?

"That's ridiculous..."

Yuri shook his head to clear his mind and began to ponder: how exactly should he use the witches to meet the conditions for clearing the singularity?

Will he use his knowledge from both lifetimes to lead the witches to conquer the world?

That would be acceptable—

If we consider the victory conditions and defeat conditions together, it becomes "to change history as much as possible while ensuring Rosalia's survival."

"Huh? Wait a minute..."

Yuri's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had discovered something shocking.

His mind raced, and his shoulders trembled with excitement: if his guess was right, then the "legendary relic" must be somewhere in this era!

No, it might already be in Rosalia's hands. We have to find a way to contact her! It's a trap!

I don't know how much time had passed, but the familiar sound of high heels echoed inside the wooden house.

"Witch, you're back."

"Come with me."

The "wicked witch" coldly uttered these words before turning and pushing open the door to leave, with Yuri quickly following behind.

When they left the cabin and came to the vicinity of the forest, the red-haired girl stopped and put her hand on the boy's shoulder.

Just as Yuri was about to say something, he felt a sudden dizziness, as if he had eaten a colorful mushroom and his vision had become multicolored.

When he came to his senses, he had returned indoors from outdoors, and he and the "wicked witch" found themselves in a gray castle shrouded in mist.

Yuri immediately realized that this was probably the witches' stronghold, and her heart skipped a beat.

"My dear witch..."

"Don't worry." The red-haired witch glanced at him and said calmly, "I haven't told anyone about your background."

Yuri continued to follow the "wicked witch" along the dark castle corridors.

Along the way, he saw many women dressed in black robes and wearing hoods. They immediately bowed their heads respectfully upon seeing the elaborately dressed "wicked witch".

Sigh, Yuri sighed: The "woman in black robes" I risked my life to kill turned out to be just a maidservant of the witch... Was it really this complicated 2000 years ago?

After walking for about ten minutes, just as Yuri began to wonder if there was something wrong with the interior of the castle, the "wicked witch" stopped in front of a huge and luxurious double door.

"?"

Yuri faintly heard a seductive female voice coming from the other side of the door.

"This is the ceremony hall."

A ritual? What ritual? Before Yuri could ask, the "wicked witch" pushed open the door.

This is a luxurious room of over 200 square meters, decorated in deep red and gold, exuding extravagance and opulence.

In the center of the room was a large bed, big enough to fit dozens of people, the biggest bed Yuri had ever seen in her life.

A dozen or so women lay sprawled on the crimson mattress, with another dozen or so women piled on top of them.

Yuri: "Huh?"

It appears that the women are grinding some kind of traditional Chinese food made from soybeans and water.

Everyone was completely absorbed in the activity, their voices echoing continuously in the spacious room.

The black-haired boy stared dumbfounded at the alluring and sensual scenery, speechless.

The women on the bed included some Yuri didn't recognize, some were female slaves he had rescued that day, and some were witches he had encountered.

"Hahahaha! What an stupid face! Hahahaha!"

The "wicked witch" standing to the side pointed at Yuri's expression and laughed so hard she bent over.

"Witch, what are they doing?" Yuri asked, holding her breath.

"Pfft, hahaha! Hahahaha... You'll understand once you see it, right?"

The "wicked witch" stopped laughing and revealed a seductive smile: "Holding a ○ party, huh?"

Yuri: "…………"

So, it turns out what the holy scriptures and history books said was true! Witches really do throw parties!!!

"...Why did you show me this?"

Upon hearing Yuri's question, the "wicked witch" looked at the women enjoying themselves on the bed and said with an unhappy expression.

“These brain-dead idiots said that the witch’s retinue can’t be idle, so you have to come and help too.”

Help? What help can a guy like me possibly offer?!

Yuri's eyes widened, and he cried out in his heart: Aunt Rosa, save me!!!

051 The Hehuan Sect in Another World!?

The purple-haired witch straightened her back, her previous alluring expression vanished, and she turned her head to the side with a cold expression.

"Could you please bring me a bathrobe and some water?"

"Ok."

Yuri, a black-haired boy who was standing at attention to the side, walked to the bedside and handed her water.

The witch with short purple hair drank the water in one gulp, got out of bed, and spread her arms in front of the boy.

Yuri understood immediately and began to dress the witch in a sheer nightgown.

Yuri has been doing this kind of work for two days now, and she has gone from being flustered at first to becoming quite proficient.

The "help" that the "wicked witch" mentioned was for Yuri to stay in the room and serve the witches who were performing a ritual.

Fortunately, he wasn't asked to dedicate himself to serving the witch.

After spending two days in this room, Yuri was able to work with ease and even took the opportunity to learn a little about the witch's inner workings.

The witches who use this gray fortress as their base don't have any particular orientation; rather, they regard it as a kind of spiritual ritual.

In Yuri's previous world, the West called it "Sexual Magic," while the East called it "Dual Cultivation."

Yuri suddenly realized: I've been kidnapped to the Hehuan Sect in another world!

Performing rituals can make witches stronger, and the object used in these rituals is called the "core furnace".

In gaming terms, it's like "the way to gain experience points for the witch job outside of combat," much like Yuri and Stella sitting together eating cake.

Because the core furnace is limited to non-human races, witches cannot perform rituals with each other, so they plunder humans everywhere, and Yuri's carriage caravan unfortunately became the target of the witches' familiars.

Of course, the witches' targets are not only humans, but also orcs and elves—especially elves, who seem to be regarded as the best material.

Yuri wondered anxiously if Tia and Cynthia were alright, as she hadn't seen them in the ritual room for the past two days.

The witch's ritual itself doesn't cause any physical damage to the materials, but the mental damage is another matter.

Humans who become ritual materials are naturally very resistant, but they cannot resist the charm and magic of the witch and will soon succumb to it.

Then, among those who were captured, the better-qualified ones could be upgraded from core furnaces to "family members".

That's why the other witches so strongly opposed Yuri becoming one of their familiars when the "wicked witch" proposed it.

The "wicked witch" is subverting the laws of our ancestors by doing this.

After the purple-haired witch put on her nightgown, she sat back on the edge of the bed, while Yuri climbed onto the bed and began to massage her shoulders attentively.

"Hehe...so sensible."

She glanced back at the handsome young man behind her, a sly glint in her eyes.

"You've had a hard day, would you like your sister to treat you?" she asked softly as she moved closer.

Yuri felt the witch's long, flexible fingers, and calmly replied without changing her expression, "I am the property of the 'Evil Witch'."

"Is that so... You're right. If I touch you, that guy will probably go crazy and cause a huge scene. I don't want to get into trouble."

The purple-haired witch regretfully let go of his hand, which made Yuri feel a little disappointed as well.

It seems that the "wicked witch's" irritability, capriciousness, and unpredictability are second to none even in Graycastle, and no one wants to provoke her for no reason.
