My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 31 Let's Fist Bump
"You didn't leave?" Roland was a little surprised to see Kalia returning, but he subconsciously took the sandwich that Kalia handed to him.

After seeing Roland take the sandwich, Kalia, with her hands free, stepped forward to help Roland organize the books.

"Shh, keep your voice down. This is a library!"

"Also, why do you think I'd leave? I'm just going to get dinner and bring you one."

After saying that, Kalia sighed: "I should have brought more food with me when I went out this morning."

"The snacks I brought were all eaten up in the morning, leaving me starving the entire afternoon."

Roland said helplessly: "If you're hungry, why don't you just go and eat? I didn't stop you from leaving, did I?"

"What if you abandon me and run away while I'm looking for something to eat?!"

Kalia held a stack of books that had reached her chin and staggered, expressing her distrust of Roland.

Roland held up the remaining books with one hand, and cast the Hand of Shaping at the same time. He used pure magic power without attributes to condense an arm and took another part of the books from Kalia's hand.

"So you've been hungry all afternoon?"

"Otherwise! If I had known it would take you so long, I would have gone to find something to eat sooner!"

Kalia kicked Roland's shin in protest: "So, as compensation, it's your turn to accompany me from now on."

"Is there any good place in Reskan to watch the night view?"

"Yes, I do... but why are you asking this?"

"Tsk, I won't tell you!"

It was already around seven or eight in the evening when the two returned the books and walked out of the library.

At this time, Ruiskan was still bustling.

The weather was clear, without the annoying rain and no rioting lunatics. The blockade of the port was also lifted, and there were fewer city defense troops patrolling the streets.

This made the citizens of Reskan, who had been holding back for a few days, choose to go out for a stroll at night.

“It’s only been a few days since I last saw this kind of scenery, but I feel a bit nostalgic.”

The Great Library was built on a high ground in the city of Reskan, from which one could overlook the entire city.

If it weren't so far from the seaside that you could only vaguely see ships coming in and out, this would indeed be a great place to watch the night view.

Kalia's eyes moved to the sandwich in Roland's hand: "Aren't you going to eat? You haven't eaten anything all day."

"No rush, I've been hungry all day, so a few minutes won't hurt."

Having said that, under Kalia's urging, Roland picked up the sandwich and started eating.

"Hmm, why does it smell so familiar?"

"Hehe, I bought this specially from Uncle Yule!" Kalia laughed. "After all, I didn't know where in Ruiskan was good, so I just bought it there!"

"When I go shopping, the uncle always asks me strange questions."

"Strange question?" Roland became curious.

"Well, he asked me why you didn't come with me, and if I came to buy you food, and also asked what my relationship was with you."

"...So how did you answer?"

"Of course I'll answer truthfully!" Kalia squinted her eyes and smiled, then looked at Roland: "Okay, didn't you say there's a good place to enjoy the night view? Take me there!"

Under Kalia's expectant gaze, Roland finished his sandwich in a few bites and said, "Okay, follow me."

Crossing the brightly lit streets of Riskan, Roland grabbed Kalia, who was looking around curiously and wanted to see everything, and brought her to a small hill.

In the distance is the still busy port and the brightly lit city, and underfoot are rugged reefs and the sea.

The waves hit the rocks again and again, and the splashing waves scattered sporadic points of light under the moonlight.

I can still vaguely hear some shouts and busy sounds from the dock, but the moon in front of me, which is just floating above the sea level, makes me feel a sense of tranquility from the soul.

Roland sat down, pressing down the green grass on the hillside.

"How is it? The scenery is pretty good, right? Sometimes when I have nothing to do at night, I'll come here for a walk and stare at the endless Storm Ocean."

Kalia nodded, then knelt down and sat beside Roland. She hugged her knees with her hands, rested her head on them, and fell silent.

She also took off the wide-brimmed witch hat and held it in front of her legs with both hands.

This was the first time Roland saw Kalia so quiet while awake.

Sure enough... this guy looks cute when he doesn't speak.

The whole person's temperament improved immediately.

"Roland..."

"Ok?"

"You were about to ask me, weren't you? How did I answer Uncle Jules?"

Kalia said as she turned her head and gave Roland a sly smile: "You really want to ask, right?"

"Even if you say you don't want to, it's no use. Your mood is written all over your face. It's so easy to understand!"

Roland: "..."

I just don't want to be evaluated like this by this guy.

“The answer is friends.”

Kalia turned her gaze away from Roland and continued to look at the sea in the distance.

"That's what I answered when Uncle Jules asked me what our relationship was."

As she spoke, Kalia suddenly turned her head to look at Roland, and as she expected, she saw the look of surprise on Roland's face.

"Hey~~ Do you look a little disappointed?"

"I'm just surprised," Roland answered truthfully. "After all, we've only known each other for a few days and haven't even had a few formal interactions, yet you actually treat me as your friend."

"No way?" Kalia stared at Roland with dead eyes.

"As long as you're happy." Roland replied perfunctorily.

He was a little surprised by Kalia's decision. He thought it was the suspension bridge effect that made Kalia have a strange perception.

"You're the first friend I've ever met, so can't you be a little more serious when answering?"

"First?"

"Otherwise, do you think I could get to know other people in my previous living environment?"

Before he finished speaking, Roland felt a light blow on his shoulder.

"Let's fist bump." Kalia shook her little fist. "We agreed to be friends for life!"

"Hurry up! Stop dawdling!"

At Kalia's urging, Roland reluctantly raised his fist and bumped it with Kalia's.

After completing this "ritual" of unknown origin, Kalia became visibly happy. She lay on the ground with her arms and legs spread out, looking up at the starry sky.

Looking at the other person's expression, Roland for some reason felt a parental mentality of "forget it, as long as she is happy."

"It's just like coaxing a child..."

Looking down at his hand that had just been fist-bumped with Kalia, Roland shook his head silently.

It seems that in the future school life, I will most likely continue to be Kalia's de facto "guardian".

"Hey Roland."

"what happened?"

"I'm a little sleepy."

"Then go back to sleep."

"don't want……"

Kalia moved closer to Roland, rested her head on his shoulder, and put her arms around his arms: "You agreed to stay with me for a while!"

"Just let me rest for a while, just for a while..."

After leaning on Roland's shoulder for a while, Kalia became completely quiet—she fell asleep.

Roland: "..."
