She Is Not a Witch

Yeling dodged behind Loranhil, with Lily trying several times to grab her. However, due to Loranhil’s intentional or unintentional shielding, she was unsuccessful. Finally, Lily gave up and sat down to continue the game.

As time passed, the game gradually entered its later stages. After earning enough money, Leticia immediately established her alchemy workshop and quickly opened branch stores. Relying on her financial offensive, she took over one territory after another, gradually becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Although Nya unified the northern grasslands, her southward expansion was fraught with difficulties. Due to cultural differences between beast-folk and humans, occupying squares required extra troops, and production was also lower, causing her expansion to slow down.

Though Lily was with the prince, her reputation plummeted due to being with her stepson. This led to frequent uprisings in her territories, with suppression and warfare becoming the norm. Eventually, she grew tired of it and simply declared her abdication, content to watch from the sidelines.

“And so, Queen Lily and the prince lived happily ever after in a distant overseas land, never to be seen again,” Bumansha announced, removing Lily’s character piece.

Wimia’s character continued to travel to various places, seemingly uninterested in world domination, until she landed on an event square.

“During one of Wimia’s concerts, due to heavy rain and over-excitement, her magic failed, revealing her tail. Her identity as a ‘mermaid’ was discovered.” Bumansha then announced that a check was needed here. (Due to bonuses from reputation and appearance, a roll of 45 or higher would pass.)

The dice result was 75. Check successful. Not only were the audience not disappointed or frightened by Wimia’s true form, they loved her even more. Wimia gained 300 reputation points and the title ‘Mermaid Diva’.

Loranhil’s character was similar to Wimia’s, not focusing on world domination but traveling and adventuring. Due to her high skill levels and enormous reputation, she gained the title ‘Great Sage’, with her personal combat power surpassing even Nya’s.

Although Alena’s path had been tortuous, her dreams finally came true. She became a powerful magical beast breeder, leading nearly 1,000 boar knights to conquer territories, advancing from south to north.

“Haha, your shops are my shops, your money is my money!” Alena happily took over several of Leticia’s squares and shops, infuriating the latter.

Afterward, Leticia and Nya began to join forces. Leticia was responsible for creating equipment, while Nya led the beast-folk in battle. This solved both cultural and combat power issues, and their united kingdom began to show great vitality.

So, Tiger Clan Nya and Leticia married, had a child, and established the Silver Tiger Kingdom. White tigers riding cloud airships began to defeat Alena’s magical beast knights on a large scale. In the final moments, Alena created a chimera, but by then the tide had turned, and she could not reverse her fortunes. She could only retreat in defeat.

“Thereafter, Alena left for distant lands overseas, never to be seen again,” Bumansha announced the ending, removing Alena’s character piece.

“Why can Leticia and Nya still get married? I object!” Alena pouted, dissatisfied.

“Because Nya initially chose a male character, hehe,” Bumansha chuckled, no one had expected Nya’s casual choice would lead to this result.

“Loran, they’re bullying me. You must avenge me,” Alena leaned on Loranhil, resting her head on her knee, twisting her body around, protesting indignantly.

“Alright, alright,” Loranhil held down Alena’s restless body and continued to roll the dice to advance.

“Wimia, shall we join forces?” Loranhil looked at the blue-haired girl with the veil across from her.

“Mm, let me support you. You be the ruler,” Wimia preempted what Loranhil was about to say. Seeing Loranhil’s slightly surprised expression, a smile appeared on her face beneath the veil.

Afterward, Loranhil initiated an uprising in the eastern part of the map. Leveraging the enormous reputation of the sage and the diva, Bumansha rolled dice dozens of times for checks. In the end, a third of the Eastern Continent’s squares responded, crowning Loranhil as the first queen and establishing the Orchid Dynasty.

Leticia and Nya prepared to crush Loranhil’s newly established country in its cradle, but were hindered by ocean squares, greatly slowing their army’s advance. Additionally, Wimia, using her ‘Mermaid Diva’ identity, constantly disrupted them at sea. By the time the Silver Tiger Empire’s army landed, Loranhil had largely unified the continent.

Thus, the late game became a struggle between the ‘Orchid Dynasty’ and the ‘Silver Tiger Empire’. As both sides accumulated more and more, each turn required numerous dice rolls and explanations, gradually becoming a tedious accumulation of data.

Just as the observers were thinking of going to sleep, a turning point finally occurred in the game. The hero cards Loranhil had been cultivating came to fruition. She directly airdropped them into the enemy capital, catching them off guard while their main army couldn’t return in time. They quickly breached the palace, and the Silver Tiger Empire admitted defeat. The Orchid Dynasty then unified the world map.

“And so, the world was finally unified. Under the leadership of the Orchid Dynasty, the world entered an era of peace and prosperity. The deeds of Queen Loran and the legend of the Mermaid Diva Wimia were recorded in history and praised by countless people.”

“Is it finally over? yawn” Alena, drowsy from all the data towards the end, had been hugging her calico cat and leaning against a nearby pillow, half-awake to witness the conclusion.

“Yes, I suppose it’s over,” Loranhil was about to stand up to stretch when she noticed Yeling, who had been leaning against her left arm, was now asleep. Her small face was nuzzled against Loranhil’s pajamas, eyes closed, body gently rising and falling, looking very quiet and cute.

Lily, after exiting the game, had returned to the bedroom, feeling sleepy after eating snacks. The remaining few slowly stood up, preparing to clean up the mess and the scene.

Seeing Yeling sleeping so soundly, Loranhil didn’t wake her. After asking Bumansha, Loranhil simply carried Yeling to her own bed to let her continue sleeping.

The night of gaming had quickly familiarized the girls from the two dormitories. Before leaving to return to their rooms, they arranged to go to the opening ceremony together tomorrow.

After tidying up, the four from Loranhil’s dormitory left. Lily and Yeling were also asleep, leaving only Bumansha and Wimia in the hall. The two stood by the window chatting, with the night breeze bringing a slight chill.

“Wimia, it’s best not to invest too much emotion in games,” Bumansha said. Although Wimia hadn’t shown exaggerated expressions or tones like Alena, Bumansha could see that she was actually very invested, even being careful and cautious in her game choices to avoid hurting others.

“Thank you, Bumansha. It was my first time playing this kind of game, so I got a bit immersed,” Wimia nodded. Her sea-blue hair seemed to shimmer beautifully even in the night.

Just like the legendary mermaid princess, Bumansha thought, admiring Wimia’s appearance. But she quickly stopped this line of thought, remembering that the mermaid race had been extinct for a long time.

“Let’s get some sleep. We have the opening ceremony tomorrow.”

“Mm.”
