Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 5 The Witch's Stupid Apprentice

 
"As we all know, your name is praised as the god of medicine in some places. A mere curse should not be a problem."
　　"I don't know any medical skills."

　　Angelica rejected the God of Medicine's praise unhappily, saying that her medical skills were at best at treating wound infections in the wild. When Angelica first arrived in the other world, she found that most doctors only had one method of treating illnesses: bloodletting.
　　What to do if you have a cold? Bleeding: What to do if you are in a coma? Bleeding; what to do if you are infertile? Bleeding again. If the condition does not improve, it means that not enough blood has been let out, and there is no way that the method is wrong. After all, Angelica, who had received compulsory education, could not stand this backward medical treatment, so she used her half-baked knowledge to improve it.
　　As a result, she was praised as the god of medicine in some places... The reputation of witches on the mainland is rather subtle, but the "black" witch is an exception. She has advocated many advancements, especially among women.

　　The "Black" witch invented many cosmetics and toiletries, and greatly improved the way to deal with uninvited relatives every month... In fact, Angelica's original intention was to improve her living environment. Angelica couldn't stand living in a different world without a toothbrush and toilet paper for a day.
　　"But I do have some ideas on how to deal with the curse. Your Majesty, please do not allow anyone to approach the princess' room. Let that perverted elf be the guard."
　　"I have a name! Slude! But being insulted by a straight beuty actually feels inexplicably refreshing...!"

　　Angelica returned to the princess' room again. Slud was responsible for staying outside the room to guard it, and Andrew and Merlin were not allowed to approach.
　　"Vulpecula, Sequence VII. Silence."
　　"Ms. Angelica, what are you doing...?"

　　"Set up a sound-isolating barrier to avoid causing troublesome noises."
　　Ecricia suddenly realized what was going on, and Angelica sighed heavily upon seeing this.
　　"You are so naive. The barrier that cannot make any sound means that the princess's call for help cannot be transmitted to the outside. I can do whatever I want to the princess in the room."

　　"Hmm...does it hurt? I'll try to bear it."
　　Ecricia clenched the quilt nervously, and she didn't seem to consider the possibility that Angelica might do something bad. Seeing her like this, Angelica lost all her desire to tease her. From Ecricia's point of view, she simply thought that Angelica, who was so beautiful, couldn't have any bad intentions.
　　Angelica moved the soft chair from the bedroom, put the broom against the wall, and stretched leisurely.

　　"I will try my best to control the intensity. Let me tell you what I am going to do first. Your curse will reset in the early morning, so I will wait until early morning. When the curse starts working again, I will use other magic to intervene in a new calculation and disrupt the curse formula. During this time, please rest assured, Princess, and just treat me as an airman."
　　Ecricia nodded, even though she had little idea of what Angelica was going to do.
　　However, with such a shameful curse and a stranger in the bedroom, Ecricia tossed and turned and could not fall asleep no matter what.
　　"Can't sleep? Princess, do you want me to use magic to help you sleep?"

　　"Thank you for your kindness. This request may be a little presumptuous, but could Miss Angelica please chat with me for a while? I might get tired of it after a while."
　　"Oh?"
　　Miss Witch gave a playful smile.

　　"Princess, do you need a bedtime story?"
　　"Well... when I was little, my teacher often told me stories by my bed after I had been studying magic all day. Maybe it's a habit I developed at that time."
　　Ecricia did not feel inferior because of Angelica's teasing; she admitted this habit generously. In fact, Ecricia was indeed past the age where she had to listen to stories, but whenever she had insomnia or was in a bad mood, listening to stories always helped Ecricia forget her troubles and fall asleep quickly.

　　"Merlin? Humph, when he was learning magic from me, he always said that the stories I told were too dark ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) and heavy."
　　Angelica complained in dissatisfaction, but it aroused Ecclesia's interest.
　　"Ms. Angelica is familiar with the teacher?"

　　"He is my disciple."
　　"disciple……?"
　　"I am a witch."

　　Angelica simply explained that witches are immortal and would live a long life, so that Ecricia would understand.
　　"Then I think I should thank you. Your magic has brought peace and prosperity to the Kingdom of Bilsen."
　　"There's nothing to thank for. I only taught him magic because he was a fool."

　　Fool?
　　Ecricia was puzzled by this. Could it be that even Teacher Merlin was not a genius in the eyes of Miss Witch?
　　"The teacher is one of the greatest magicians in the history of the Kingdom of Bilsen. Some bards even believe that the teacher is comparable to the founding monarch... Of course, I think so too."

　　"I don't deny that. He is indeed talented."
　　"But why did Miss Angelica say the teacher was stupid?"
　　"Let me ask a few more questions. Since my stupid disciple has become the chief magician of the palace, he must have a title or something. What does he call himself?"

　　"Flower Magician."
　　Ecricia gave an answer immediately. Not to mention coming to the neighboring country of the Kingdom of Bilsen, the reputation of the Flower Magician had already spread far and wide. Even in the Boppard Parish, where the witch lived in seclusion, the Flower Magician was not a strange name.
　　If Merlin had not publicly served as the chief magician of the court of the Kingdom of Bilsen, poaching might have caused serious diplomatic problems; otherwise, there would have been countless olive branches thrown to Merlin. In a sense, the Kingdom of Bilsen was able to maintain peace for a long time, and the existence of the powerful flower magician was also a deterrent.

　　"He actually used this name... Let me ask you one more question: does he have a family?"
　　"……No."
　　Ecclesia answered honestly. In fact, this question troubled many people in the Kingdom of Pilsen. People believed that the bloodline of a great magician like Merlin would definitely inherit his magical talent. Countless cases in history have proved that the inheritance of bloodline is very important, so it is easy for powerful magicians to be born among the nobles.

　　But Merlin did not do so.
　　Merlin visited the Kingdom of Bilsen when he was young. With his talent, he rose from a commoner to the position of chief magician of the court. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Merlin took a fancy to any woman in the kingdom, the royal family would do their best to help Merlin win her.
　　However, to this day, Merlin is still alone, and no one knows why.

　　Miss Witch smiled.
　　"He is indeed a fool."
