"Goodness, you're not the least bit cautious, are you?

　Even though Aria was right next to her, the witch showed no signs of waking up.
　She had dark blue hair and a face as neat as a doll.

　You can sense a somewhat peaceful atmosphere.
　At least she's not beyond the realm of humanity.

　I could sense it, but I didn't need to be alarmed at first.

"Hey, wake up.

"Hmm.

　Even though Aria had no choice but to call out to her, the witch didn't try to wake up.
　Instead, she sank deeper into the covers.

　A little frustration piled up.
　I wonder if Rose was feeling the same way when I asked her to wake me up.

　I'm sorry, Aria thought, apologizing in her heart.

"That's enough!

"Ugh.

　Aria quickly took up the futon that the witch was wrapped in.
　But that didn't wake the witch up.

　She's even worse than Iris at waking up.
　Aria stares at the witch, remembering how Tise used to wake Iris up.

"I don't know anymore!

　She was staring - but .
　Unable to recall any useful information, Aria gave up and turned over the bed on which the witch was lying.

　The human body was as fragile as tofu, so there was a good chance that she would injure her.
　Still, it doesn't matter as long as you don't die.

　Just as I had hoped, I heard the sound of someone's head hitting the ground.

...... Ouch, who?

　A clear, thin voice.
　He finally woke up.

　The witch looked so weak that Aria began to feel guilty.
　The witch did not look at Aria, but held her dark blue head.

I heard there was a witch, so I came. What will you do?　Are we going to fight them back?

"...... I don't understand, aren't they human?　I thought they were messengers from the humans. ......

"Emissary?

　We're not talking to each other.
　The witch was the first to move, her head somehow starting to spin from sleep.
　From a nearby desk drawer, she handed a letter to Aria.

　The letter contained a stamp from a familiar country and a request for help.

...... Are you different from the person in this letter?

No, not the same person.

"...... Okay.

　The witch replied and turned on her heel to go back to bed.

"Wait a minute. "Wait a minute. If you go back to sleep, I'm going to blow up this house.

...... I can't do that, I'm getting up.

　As Aria threatened to take the house hostage, the witch stopped in her tracks.
　The witch stopped dead in her tracks.

　She was staring at Aria's face with half-open eyes.

I'd like to hear about your letter.

"......, I have a question too.

　The witch listened to Aria with a dissatisfied look on her face.
