Reed listlessly rubbed the wrinkles in his clothes. He had only listened to the first few sentences of what the arms dealer had said.

Then comes a whole bunch of rules and regulations, like what country? King? Queen? and so on! It sounds complicated.

As darkness fell completely, the arms dealer packed everything up while chatting.

Finally, the man dusted off his hands and carried the last weapon case to the last empty space on the handcart.

The man waved his hand. "Alright, it's getting dark, I have to go!"

"I've just finished speaking. That's about all I know. Although what the government does is somewhat inhumane, it allows many ordinary people like me to live well."

"Goodbye!"

Noelle extended her hand and smiled in return, displaying none of the politeness and manners expected of a noblewoman. "Bye..."

The man felt a pang of sadness and even a little excitement, despite the girl's slightly dirty appearance.

Even so, she's still quite pretty; with a little makeup, she'd be a top-tier beauty.

Responding so elegantly and politely to such a beautiful young girl, Noelle's eyes darted around a few more times, feeling a little embarrassed.

They pulled the wooden cart and left somewhat reluctantly.

"Reed? Reed!" Noelle's call startled Reed, who yawned groggily.

Reed shook his arm, looking somewhat bewildered, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Noelle stepped closer, stood on tiptoe, and lightly punched Reid's shoulder with her right fist. "Didn't we agree to gather information? You promised to find out the truth about the little witch!"

"Why are you almost asleep?! Are you even listening?"

Reed blurted out without any hesitation, "I can't be bothered to listen to all that babbling nonsense, but you're here, aren't you?"

Noelle blinked and grinned mischievously. "Wow~ Looks like Reed sometimes has to rely on me too~"

"Since that's the case, I forgive you!"

Reed looked around; it was already dark. Strangely, some people were still going out tonight.

In this other world, very few countries or residential areas have regulations allowing people to go out at night, and even if they do, almost no one goes out at night.

Although fewer people go out at night than during the day, at least there are people around, which shows that the people in the communal area have really had their fill of good living...

"It's dark now, what should we do?" Reed asked Noelle without thinking.

Noelle: "Rider, let's go back first. I'll explain it to you briefly later, but you're not allowed to fall asleep again, okay?"

"Seriously, you can fall asleep standing up?"

Reed: "Because I didn't sleep at all..."

Time passed...

Reed opened the door and Noelle rushed in, sitting on the bed and starting to take off her shoes.

Noelle bent over and successfully took off one shoe with one hand. "I've only been out for a short while, and I'm already sweating again~"

Soft, white feet rested on the edge of the bed, knees propped up chins, as she took off the last shoe.

He then rolled over on the bed, glanced at Reed, and sat up again.

Her two little feet wiggled playfully from side to side, and Noelle tossed her long hair as she began, "Reed, actually I..."

Reed disliked people who would stop mid-sentence, as if they were stuck, and say, "Just get to the point."

Noel: "I wonder how [Jerome] and [Lucia] are doing now... I haven't seen Jerome since those people from the organization came."

"What's wrong, are you worried about him?" Reed asked.

Noelle gave a calm, slightly disdainful look. "No, after all, Jerome has helped us more often."

"And one of my hands was restored using the methods these guys provided, and in the end, I didn't even get to say thank you..."

Reed: "So you just want to say thank you to him?"

Noelle said, "Not only thank you, but even so, Jerome is a criminal official. The organization must know that he helped me restore my hand."

"I wonder how Jerome is doing... and what about Miss Lucia the elf! I hope she's safe now..."

Reed sat on the edge of the bed. "Ha... that Jerome kid has no reason to worry about him."

"Don't let that kid's weak fighting ability fool you. I don't know what he did before, but he seems to know a little bit about everything."

"This kid is very shrewd and values ​​his life, and he's also a thief... He won't die so easily."

"As for that Luya? To be honest, she's pretty clueless... Once that kid Jerome finds her, she'll probably be fine."

"The topic has gone off on a tangent."

Noelle: "Okay, Reed, don't get distracted."

[The passage of time]

Noelle's concise explanation highlighted many key points, and Reid understood them all.

The ruler of this country is named [Olisabeth Garvis], who is the current Queen of this country.

Before he took office, the people in the country's civilian areas had never lived so safely, and there were no witches in the country.

Since taking office, for some unknown reason, a large number of witches have suddenly appeared in the country.

No matter how much the witches asked, they couldn't remember who their parents were; these children seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Because humans inherently dislike witches, just as elves dislike dark elves, intelligent orcs dislike the weak, and demi-humans dislike willingly enslaved and betrayed individuals.

For some reason, Olympia did manage to drive the witch away.

But they built another wall around the country, driving all the witches to the outer wall.

This is now the Witch District, which has caused dissatisfaction among many residents.

The people were dissatisfied before and they are still dissatisfied now. A witch is a witch. What will happen when she completely loses control?!

As for why none of the little witches lived past 15, the weapons dealer was completely baffled.

I used to think that witches had such short lifespans, which seems to show that people are blindly following trends.

Everyone knows that witches become terrifying as they grow up, but even though the little witch's lifespan is only 15 years, she is still resisting...

Some even believe that ten years old is adulthood and must be executed, while these so-called demons are fighting monsters in places unseen by the people in the civilian area.

And then there was no more information. In short, since Queen Olympia took office...

For some reason, many little witches appeared, and Olympus was unable to completely drive away these calamities.

Instead, they built another wall around the perimeter and threw all the little witches into the witch district, tasking them with defending against the monsters.

The country, which was originally on tenterhooks defending against the monsters' attack, is now entrusted with stopping them by the little witch.

Reed thought, "I really don't understand those little brats. They're being treated like this, why don't they fight back?"

Noelle: "I talked to Xiaorui before... Some children chose to rebel, but they were all dragged to the very center and executed in front of all the little witches."

"And with so many, not a single witch dared to stop the two executioners..."

"And the vast majority of witches want to show off; as long as they are kind and resist monsters, and are self-aware enough to stay away from others, they want to gain the approval of the populace in this way."

"Xiao Rui was one of them... She told me a lot about how to express myself, and I think that's how it should be."

"These little witches probably don't dare to attack others because they want to be treated and recognized like normal people. They don't even dare to attack murderers who have been banished to the witch district..."

Reed said, "A bunch of idiots. When they were fighting those monsters, the special effects were so intense they made my eyes water. But if an ordinary person grabbed her hair and slammed her against a rock a few times..."

"This little witch doesn't seem to be putting up a fight at all, how twisted..."

Reed rubbed his head and lay down on the bed. "I don't want to hear about this anymore. Tomorrow I want to see that ruler with the ridiculously long name, Sabrina."
