Magical Journey: The Other Shore Blooms on the Other Shore

The Yin-Yang Sphere is the masterpiece of Helena, the Star Witch. Once triggered, it will launch in two directions, never stopping until it hits a person, and upon contact, it will automatically merge into that person's body.

The two-dimensional spheres are activated when they are successfully fully integrated into both individuals' bodies.

If the distance between the black and white spheres exceeds ten meters, they will explode simultaneously.

The above explains the function of this new magical item. It was a toy that the Star Witch Helena made by hand when she was bored. As she made it, she thought it was pretty good, so she kept it as a collectible.

Just now, Hilla, the female disciple of the Starshine Witch who guards the collection room, accidentally activated the Yin-Yang Sphere.

The white ball hit the gray-haired witch who was still tasting bread and complaining that the bread here was really bad, while the black ball hit the harp who was wandering around looking for a place to sleep.

At this moment, Hilla was ready to unleash the fury of the two.

Qin seems to be doing alright, but that gray-haired witch is really hard to explain. She's a witch... someone on par with my teacher.

She knew perfectly well how outrageous her teacher was... Oh no... Being expelled from the sect was a minor matter; the real issue was how to quell their anger.

"In other words, I have to wait with him until your teacher returns?" The gray-haired witch looked at Hilla with an unfriendly expression.

“Not necessarily…” Hilla said.

"Oh?"

"You can also find someone to try and crack it yourselves... Ah—don't hit me—waaaaaah—"

When is your teacher coming back?

"I don't know... Her whereabouts are always unpredictable. The last time she went out, it seemed like she didn't come back for a year."

The atmosphere suddenly plummeted to freezing point.

The gray-haired witch seemed to have realized something, sighed, and looked at Qin with displeasure in her glass-like eyes. She knew that the young man in front of her had done nothing wrong, but that didn't stop her from taking her anger out on him: "My name is Elena, a witch on a journey. Please take care of me in the next few days."

It's unbelievable that eating bread could lead to this situation.

It's delicious, that's all.

It tasted awful... and they still charged me so many copper coins.

Elena is not a witch who specializes in magical artifacts; she is proficient in all kinds of magic, which also means that she does not specialize in any one aspect.

She immediately examined the white sphere that had merged into her body. With her abilities, she couldn't break the magic set by the Starshine Witch. Ultimately, it was the masterpiece of a veteran witch who specialized in researching magical artifacts.

The most urgent task is to find out the other party's plans, as they are also victims.

This is really bad if he has long-term plans for this place.

Anyway, I'm not going to compromise and not go on the trip. Who knows when that witch will come back?

And what if that witch came back and said, "Ah, I don't know how to deactivate the Yin-Yang Sphere..." Just thinking about that scene made Elena's blood pressure rise uncontrollably.

"My name is Qin, a fellow traveler on a journey," Qin explained simply.

Are you traveling together?

Elena's mood finally improved a little.

This avoided a lot of unnecessary disputes.

"So, you should be able to accept that we're forced to travel together for the next few days, right?" Elena asked.

"I don't object."

As Qin looked at the gray-haired witch before her, she felt as if she had seen her somewhere before... Elena... She seemed to have heard this name before, but where had she heard it?

Forget it, this question isn't important at all. After all, I've been to many places, and there will always be a few people named Elena; she won't be the first.

Qin also checked the black sphere inside his body immediately, and unfortunately, he was also unable to undo this magic created by the Starshine Witch.

After all, his magic is quite different from conventional magic.

"You two... have a good chat... I'll..." Seeing that the situation seemed to have eased a bit, Hilla wanted to slip away.

"You're not allowed to leave." Irene patted Hilla's shoulder with a seemingly benevolent expression. "Stay put...understand?"

"Ugh..." Under Irena's intimidation, Hilla crouched in the corner, drawing circles in fear.

“Then let’s make a three-point agreement,” Elena said. “First, we’ll each take half the trip, and you should accommodate each other as much as possible when the other wants to do what they want. Second, we’ll each pay for our own trip. Third… you’re not allowed to touch me… otherwise, I might resort to some extreme measures.”

Qin listened to these rules with a hint of helplessness.

The first two points are fine... but the third one... isn't she a bit narcissistic...?

To be fair, the gray-haired girl in front of her could stand out among all the female characters Jean had ever seen... but... that makes it sound like Jean is the kind of person who can't resist beautiful women...

Even the most beautiful girls eventually turn into dust.

In any case, Qin could never understand those who would risk everything for a woman.

"I understand." Qin nodded in agreement, not wanting to say anything more.

“Now it’s your turn… Let’s talk, how much are you going to pay me for emotional distress?” Elena said with a smile as she looked at Hilla.

“A copper coin?” Hilla said, trembling as she raised a finger.

"Huh? You're charging two copper coins for a single loaf of bread, and it's hard and doesn't taste good at all. Are you trying to fool me with just one copper coin?"

"Sigh... but I really don't have much money on me."

"You think you can fool me if a trainee witch doesn't have much money?" Elena said rudely, casting a spell. Normally, she wouldn't use search magic on people, as that would be an invasion of their privacy.

But she was genuinely a little angry today.

Anyway, the other party owes me.

But after searching for the magic...

All she had was two silver coins. So poor… how could someone be poorer than her? Elena had always thought she was a big spender.

Ultimately, after receiving the compensation she deserved, Elena let Hilla go.

Even if I'm angry, there's nothing I can do to her... I can't sell her for money, so I can only make her write an IOU and let her leave.

in case……

I mean, if... we could meet that Starshine Witch, we should be able to get that debt back, right? That compensation is a full one hundred gold coins...

"Even you can't break this kind of magic?" Jean pinned her hopes on the other party, after all, the other party was a witch, and such an unusually young witch was really rare, even in Beatrice, which was known as the witch's capital.

“I don’t specialize in magical items,” Elena said. “Perhaps my teacher has a way, after all, she’s been a witch for several years.”

The rest is hard to say, but they reached a consensus on how to handle this matter in the future. They didn't want to pin their hopes on the Star Witch, whose return was uncertain.

There are witches in this world who specialize in magical artifacts. Perhaps we can find a witch in the Land of Witchcraft who can solve the problem of the Yin-Yang Orb.

But witches aren't like cabbages; finding one isn't an easy task.

"Speaking of which, when do you plan to leave here?" Elena asked.

Elena's words immediately reminded Qin of something unpleasant. She still had a request to complete, which meant she'd have to bring Elena along when she went to do those requests...

Bringing her along would only increase the uncertainty.

After all, they had only known each other for less than ten minutes, so Qin had no way of judging Elena's character. She could only roughly tell that Elena was greedy and somewhat narcissistic... Qin felt a slight aversion to her just because of her greed.

It's important to know that Qin's next move will likely cause at least one interest group here to lose tens of thousands, or even more, of gold coins. If Elena wanted to, she could sell Qin's information to them and receive a considerable reward.

They might even kill themselves together, which would render the Yin-Yang Sphere ineffective in some sense.

After all, this magical item only works when it exists in two people at the same time; it's just that this solution was subconsciously overlooked before.

Qin didn't want to harm anyone, but she had to be wary of people.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Say something." Elena couldn't understand what Qin was thinking.

This person looked seriously ill, acting strangely. The thought of having a male travel companion filled Elena with a thousand reservations.

But what if you have no other choice?

"I haven't made any arrangements, it's up to you," Qin said.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to temporarily abandon the commission. Abandoning the commission would only mean losing a small deposit (actually not a small amount, but Jean had very little concept of wealth), but continuing to execute it had too many variables, and Elena was a ticking time bomb.

Human nature is the most vulnerable to test.

“Oh, then let’s rest here for ten days,” Elena said.

Ten days...

Could this be a coincidence?
