105-105. Inside the cave




 Popodatas looked at 'Majosama' and Meku.

 'You mean the Witch of Life? Are we looking at it the wrong way, like Luri?

 So does that mean there is a life witch here?

 I've been looking for you for a long time, and now we may finally meet.

"Mate, this guy, majosamachigaw. Majosama, Iroquois.

 Some of them seem to be observant popotadas in their own right.

'Majosamanomanomanesul, nanotame?'

 Popotadas glared at Meku.
 He seems to be wary.

 From the way these guys talk, they seem to respect the witches a lot more. Are they using their magical powers to make the demons their allies?

 It looks like they live near here.
 Maybe there's a witch's house in the cave.

 It seems to be able to use magic to make the place comfortable, and it shouldn't be a problem to make a home in such a spicy place.

 It would be better to get Mek to play one for me once and check out the inside of the cave.
 If you tell him that the color was a makeover, he'll believe it easily.
 I'm sure Mekku would do it without telling you.

'I won't be a copycat! I am Meku! It is very unpleasant to be mistaken for a witch or something else!

 I thought, and then I desperately denied it.
 S-, do you hate being thought of as a witch that much? Maybe it can't be helped, though, since I'm the one who hates it.

 I whispered and asked him to pretend to be a real witch here.

I'm sure it's better to do so in this place.............................

 Mek changed his voice.

I'm just kidding. I am indeed the Witch of Life. I just changed my mind about the different colors. Wouldn't it be boring to wear the same color all the time?

 He said that with a stick.
 His tone is the same, and he doesn't seem to be the type of person who can act very well, Meku.

 But Popotadas seemed to have been fooled.

I'm not a good actor. Tashkani, itumoi shojo, tsumoranai.
What is the matter with them?

 He asked about us. You can say we're friends or something.

"These people are my friends. "These people are my friends, and I'm not gonna hurt you.
'Tomodachi. Majosama no tomodachinara, kangay.

 They let me in.

 Well, it looks like they're letting you in without a fight.
 As much as possible, I don't want to kill anyone who can talk to me.

 There were a lot of Popotadas living in the cave.
 There are more than 50 of these pretty big guys, so it's quite powerful.

 When the time came to fight, we walked with heightened vigilance so that we could fight back.

 We were eyed suspiciously by Popotadas, but when we explained that we were friends of the Witch of Life, he quickly let down his guard. They seem to be quite fond of us.

 Now where does she live?
 If I asked Popotadas, he would be suspicious of me. It is unlikely that he would be unable to locate his own home.

 However, it would be suspicious to wander around and look for it, but.......

 I guess we'll just have to hang around and look for it for now.

'Hey, this!'

 As we were walking, Luli found something and called out.

 Something that looked like a broken crystal ball had fallen down.

''This is a magic crystal made by Master! There's no doubt about it! I think he used it a few times and broke it, so he threw it away!
Are you sure? If there is such a thing here I wonder if the Witch of Life really lives here.

 Mek guessed that.

 Then.

'They're dead! Fake no majosamaha!

 I heard Popotadas' voice.

 Startled, I turned towards the direction of the voice and saw a stuffed animal that looked exactly like a black-colored Meku walking towards us, with Popotadas in tow.
