The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Ariel put away her broom, skillfully took out a new crossbow, aimed at the crater on the sky island, and fired an arrow. Then, as if she had been out of frame for a moment, she appeared on a subordinate sky island in the blink of an eye.

"You all also unleash your magic at that crater. This is the Sky Island's teleportation mechanism, don't be afraid!"

She used her magic to draw large letters in the sky and waved to the two of them.

Li Hui, now back in human form, narrowed her eyes. Countless traces of magic appeared before her. This was a very precise protective barrier.

But why is it that forcing your way in results in being transported to the fish tank?

She fell into thought, becoming somewhat curious about what kind of witch Ariel's parents were.

Jiang Kehan ​​obediently took out the crossbow that Ailier had given her. She noticed Li Hui thinking and mistakenly thought that she did not have a staff that could fire magic from a distance, so she took her hand.

“Let’s go together.” Jiang Kehan ​​smiled, aimed at the crater, and pulled the trigger.

Li Hui was pulled from her thoughts by Jiang Kehan, and she was both amused and exasperated. But feeling the warmth in her hand, she didn't explain, and instead tightened her grip.

Click! Jiang Kehan ​​felt as if she had become a photograph in a certain moment, and then she landed next to Ai Lier.

"How does it feel? Isn't it fun? This is a spell that my mother extracted from an ancient god. Isn't it amazing?"

It was like an evil spirit sealed in a photograph and then locked up here. Jiang Kehan's lips twitched, and she silently kept her feelings to herself, echoing the sentiment.

"It's a completely new experience that I've never seen before, right, Li Hui?"

Li Hui looked up and remained silent.

Ariel chuckled, and tentacles emerged from all around, drawing a six-pointed star, and a hole appeared before them.

"Let's go, this is my storage room. We can tidy it up and use it as our meeting place."

Can I not go in...? This doesn't feel good.

Looking at the tentacles controlled by the other party and the dark, unlit entrance, Jiang Kehan ​​felt as if she had walked into the headquarters of a cult.

Luckily, I'm not a magical girl, otherwise I would have run away no matter what.

Jiang Kehan ​​held onto the tentacles and slowly explored downwards. Many images that would not pass censorship floated into her mind, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on Li Hui's hand.

Hmm, are you afraid of the dark?

Looking at Jiang Kehan, who seemed resistant, Li Hui tilted her head and spoke without any romantic understanding.

"This is just an isolation barrier; it's still quite bright inside."

I'm a little curious about what Kehan ​​is afraid of. Should I take a look?

Unaware that she was facing a major social crisis, Jiang Kehan ​​swallowed hard and forced a smile.

"So this is what it's like? I thought it would be pitch black inside."

"How about you go first, Li Hui?" She looked at Li Hui pitifully, which made him laugh helplessly, and also inadvertently averted a social crisis.

"Follow me." Li Hui walked up to Jiang Kehan, took her hand, and started walking slowly.

"Why are you two walking so slowly?" Ariel, who had been waiting inside, looked at the two people who came in and asked with some confusion.

"Also, why are you two always holding hands? Could it be that you're having an affair?"

Although holding hands isn't a big deal between witches after they become friends, holding hands frequently makes a difference.

Jiang Kehan ​​released her grip as if she had been electrocuted and quickly tried to explain.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little scared."

Huh? Aili'er gave Jiang Kehan ​​a look that said, "You'd be crazy to believe that," making Jiang Kehan ​​blush.

She simply walked over to Ariel, took her hand, and started arguing illogically.

"Isn't holding hands normal? Ariel's little hands are cool and comfortable."

This time it was Ariel's turn to blush.

Kehan, your flirting is a perfect match for my basement, sigh.

Ariel withdrew her hand, letting her go, and walked to the candlestick, using her magic to light the golden candle on it.

In an instant, the room seemed to be bathed in sunlight, its warmth enveloping the three of them.

Jiang Kehan ​​finally saw what was inside. The scene hidden behind the barrier that obscured her view was not as terrifying as she had imagined. Instead, it was surprisingly girlish.

The pure white walls and floors have a warm feel, and the willow branches and peach blossoms casually placed in the vase look cute, messy like a child's idea of ​​beauty.

The most eye-catching thing was a doll that looked a lot like Li Hui.

Ok? !

Li Hui and Jiang Kehan ​​suddenly fell silent, especially Li Hui, who opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Isn't this me when I enrolled? What are you doing?!

"What's wrong? It's normal to have idol dolls at home, right?" Ariel licked her lips and said matter-of-factly, "I'm the top fan's only supporter, you know."

Jiang Kehan ​​remained expressionless, suddenly realizing that she wasn't twisted enough, to the point that she now thought holding hands was a trivial matter.

"Confiscated." Li Hui rubbed his forehead and put the clean doll, which showed that it had been carefully cared for by Ai Li'er, into his personal space.

"Also, next time you make one, I'll confiscate one."

I shouldn't have given up on your whispers because you're a pervert. Li Hui regrets it now, she regrets it so much. She can even sense when others are talking about her.

However, she did not expect that Ariel could be even more perverted than she thought.

At this moment, Li Hui was heartbroken.

Ariel shrugged, unconcerned, and invited them to sit down.

"No problem. We're already in the same organization, do we still need this? Let's sit down and discuss how to decorate this place."

"I remember I secretly hid quite a bit of money and props. I'll go look for them. Oh, and would you like something to eat?"

Jiang Kehan ​​then realized that she hadn't eaten anything all day except for a sip of wine, and her stomach was starting to rumble.

"I want meat, lots of meat," she said, raising her hand to Ariel.

"Bring me some chocolate," Li Hui added after thinking for a moment.

Ariel left temporarily, leaving the two of them with somewhat unfocused eyes.

Li Hui's doll didn't make Ai Li'er feel shy, but it did manage to keep the two of them from having wild thoughts in check.

Chapter 88 You have secret medicine, I have fine wine

An awkward silence hung in the air. Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Hui, who tactically took a sip of water and fell into deep thought.

Hmm... wait, where did this water come from?

Jiang Kehan ​​noticed something amiss and nudged Li Hui, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Is there any more water? Um, I'm a little thirsty too."

Li Hui came to her senses and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, this is not water, it's medicine."

Before Jiang Kehan ​​could even utter her words of concern, Li Hui had already foreseen it. Even without the ability to read minds, she was fully aware of Jiang Kehan's thoughts.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Jiang Kehan's thoughts are too easy to guess; she hardly tries to hide anything.

This is why she is so charming among witches; who wouldn't want to be around a naive and innocent girl who won't bother you?

"It's just a few minor issues, minor problems caused by the change in my magical properties, which I need to suppress."

Is it similar to applying lubricant to a machine?

Li Hui tilted his head and came up with a peculiar analogy.

Jiang Kehan ​​just didn't like the analogy. She inexplicably thought of the relationship between elves, witches, and mechas, and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Many ideas flashed through her mind, and in the end, she made a test that could be described as "crazy".

"Is it a problem with the residual magic property of regeneration?"

This almost confessed that he was sent by the Witch's Agency to get close to Li Hui, but he didn't get to face the doubts and disappointment that Jiang Kehan ​​was prepared to confront.

Li Hui looked at the anxious Jiang Kehan ​​with a slightly indifferent expression, her eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a helpless smile.

“You always like to act recklessly, Kehan.” She shrugged, downed the medicine she was holding in one gulp, and snapped her fingers lightly.

Li Hui's almost deathly magic shattered the tranquility of the space. Jiang Kehan ​​could even hear the dislocation sound of the space being cut apart, a sound that acted directly on the brain and spread through the mind.

"Look, aren't my magic starting to clash?" She casually manipulated her magic, and in an instant, a soothing symphony was played. This was a display of her magical control skills, and also a technique that allowed Jiang Kehan ​​to observe carefully.

Jiang Kehan's tense spirit was relieved by the soothing music. She was like a naughty child waiting for the teacher's verdict. Her heart was like a sponge being squeezed, and her luck and rationality were squeezed out.

But she still couldn't help but look at the magic that Li Hui was displaying before her eyes, because she cared about him.

She cared a little more than she had expected.

This concern, however, caused Li Hui's normally steady heart to tremble slightly, like biting into a chocolate with a strong liquor filling, igniting a spark that shouldn't have been left.

What's wrong with me...? Why do I feel a little drunk...? Looking at Jiang Kehan's serious observation, Li Hui realized that she wasn't as composed as she had imagined.

That's why she doesn't really like using mind reading.

It was so close, it was almost like two hearts were touching, it was deafening in her mind.

You are like the wine that lingers in my memory; the aroma alone, released unintentionally, makes me unable to distinguish what my true thoughts are, Kehan.

Li Hui swallowed hard, using the last vestiges of his sanity to turn off the mind-reading ability, and vowed never to use it on Jiang Kehan ​​again.

That would make her become someone she doesn't recognize.

Jiang Kehan ​​let out a soft exclamation. She could see that Li Hui's seemingly quiet magic actually contained an irreconcilable stubbornness, a yearning to show her "life".

"Rebirth is a magical characteristic that every Primordial Witch possesses innately; it cannot be avoided, but it can be changed."

But what emerges after annihilation is either death and stillness or a new beginning; that possible outcome has always existed within my magic, making this characteristic of rebirth irreplaceable.

Especially after meeting you, the new student became even more unruly and reckless.

Li Hui kept the last sentence to himself and pretended to speak nonchalantly.

"Hmm, so it's just a minor issue. After all, it's a reflection of my inner self. It will only reduce my control over magic."

After Li Hui finished explaining, he looked at Jiang Kehan, wiped away the glistening tears that had welled up in her eyes from nervousness and anxiety, and hugged her.

"So don't worry or be nervous. Whatever decision you make is what I want and what I'm looking forward to, including the fact that I've been deliberately getting close to you all along."

Please forgive me, Kehan.
