Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 72 The First Encounter between the Witch Lady and the Stupid Disciple

 
"By the way... I don't even know who she ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) is..."
After an unknown amount of time, Merlin scratched his head and muttered to himself. It was already dusk when he stayed by the unknown girl's side, but the girl still showed no signs of waking up. On the contrary, Merlin, who had been busy all day and had not yet started a fire to cook, had already protested in his stomach.

If I had ignored her, maybe I could have made a round trip and recovered some venison.
Despite this, Merlin didn't feel much regret. He stared at the girl's sleeping face and didn't even notice the passage of time.
Merlin could probably understand the reason: he had a crush on this girl.

Merlin couldn't help but laugh when he realized this. He clearly didn't even know her name, but she had achieved this just by having an attractive face.
But how will she feel when she wakes up?
Would they think I was a pervert? After all, I stared at her sleeping face for several hours... Or maybe I thanked her and then went my separate ways. It was just a chance encounter. A girl like her would definitely not lack suitors.

Having said that, since we have decided to be the escort, we might as well do it to the end. Besides, it is almost night time, and it is not safe to leave a girl alone in the forest.
Just as Merlin was thinking this, a low growl caught Merlin's attention.
“Could it be…?!”

Merlin drew his bow and arrow cautiously. He did not stay beside the girl, but kept a distance from her. After all, observing her sleeping face up close was really hard to control his temper. But now was not the time to say these things. This low roar was probably the result that Merlin least wanted to encounter.
A huge figure was approaching the girl.
Brown bear.

The most vicious creature in this forest.
"Damn it! Why at this time? What a coincidence..."
Merlin cursed inwardly. Brown bears usually hunt during the day, but he didn't expect this brown bear to be wandering outside at dusk? Was it the bloody smell of the doe's corpse that attracted this creature? Merlin's mind was full of random thoughts, but his eyes were still fixed on the direction the brown bear was moving.

Merlin was eager for the brown bear to turn around and hunt somewhere else, but the opposite happened. The brown bear wandered around for a few circles and found the girl sleeping under the tree. The brown bear immediately let out a low growl and approached where the girl was.
"no……!"
In an instant, Merlin's mind flashed with the image of the girl's delicate body being torn to pieces by the brown bear.
"Wake up!"

Merlin could no longer sit there and watch, so he jumped out and roared, instantly attracting the brown bear's attention. The man and the bear stared at each other, Merlin's legs were shaking, and the brown bear was also wary of Merlin. Merlin warned himself not to panic, and slowly moved back.
Can't run.
The poacher who adopted Merlin told him that if you encounter a carnivore in the wild, you should never run away in panic, because people are afraid of carnivores, and carnivores are also wary of people. But if people turn around and run away, they will be judged as prey by carnivores and will attack them recklessly.

We have to attract it over here... Hey! Wait!
Merlin stepped back, but the brown bear sniffed and turned around to walk towards the girl.
Merlin had no idea what was going on in the animal's mind, he just knew he had to take action. Merlin put on his bow and arrow, aimed at the brown bear's eyes, and with a whoosh, the arrow shot out and hit the brown bear's head.

Because my hands were shaking so badly, I failed to hit its eyes, but it was enough to enrage the brown bear, and the evidence was the bear's roar.
I'm dead.
The brown bear roared and rushed over. This thought flashed through Merlin's mind. Although he knew he couldn't run away, his body's instinct urged Merlin to do so.

Merlin didn't run far before a strong attack came from behind, and the bow and trophies that Merlin was carrying fell all over the ground. He was so panicked when he ran away that he even forgot to reduce the weight. However, given the current situation, even if he lost the trophies at the beginning, Merlin was destined to not be able to outrun the brown bear.
Merlin's body hit the tree trunk, and he rolled on the ground in a panic, his mouth full of blood. He must have been hit by the bear's claws, and his ribs were probably broken. Merlin knew that he was going to die, and he just hoped that the girl could survive, because she should have woken up.
The bear came to Merlin, who was lying on the ground unable to resist, and showed his fangs with great biting power. Merlin just wanted to die quickly and not bring him more torture.

"Incineration, sequence six: Fireball."
This was the last sound Merlin heard before he lost consciousness, as sweet and melodious as a lark.
——When Merlin woke up, tiredness and pain still filled his body.

"Where am I...?"
"You're awake."
What came into view was the girl, her eyes were as beautiful as pearls, with bright pupils and white teeth. When Merlin saw the girl's face, he even forgot his pain for a moment.

The girl smiled sweetly.
"You're already a girl."
“Huh?!”

"I'm just kidding. I just wanted to say this line once, or do you really want to become a girl?"
"Of course not! It hurts so much..."
"You are injured. I suggest you not to put up any unnecessary resistance."

"Even if I wanted to resist..."
Merlin tried to move his body, but was amused to find that his body was completely wrapped in bandages like a mummy, with only his face exposed.
He couldn't move at all... Merlin couldn't tell whether he was being rescued or kidnapped. But it was probably the former, after all, he was a lone poacher and was not worth kidnapping.

"Where is this?"
"It's my home. I used a space warp to bring you back because you looked like you were dying, and I didn't know if there was a doctor nearby because it was my first time there."
"How dare you sleep in the forest when it's your first time there..."

Merlin didn't know whether to say that the girl was too naive or had no common sense.
"A beautiful girl like me can rest anywhere without any accidents. How could anyone be willing to hurt such a lovely girl like me?"
"This is the first time I've seen someone call herself a cute beautiful girl!"

"Am I not lovable?"
"You're indeed very cute... No! Sleeping in the forest is dangerous! If I hadn't saved you, you would have been eaten by a bear!"
Merlin was so excited that he almost hurt his wound, but the girl hit Merlin on the head with a ruthless knife.

"That's the opposite. I saved you. I set up a magic circle around me. A bear can't do anything to me."
"Magic circle? Are you... a magician?"
"I am a witch."

The girl introduced herself with a beautiful smile.
"Angelica, the immortal black witch."
