I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Gresta opened her hands innocently. Unexpectedly, she had hidden the wand in her hand and was now spinning it dexterously between her fingers.

"That man is pointing his wand at you. What if the fire breaks out and hurts you?"

"Mr. Gray is a controller. I believe he will not use magic on others, unlike you, teacher!"

"Hey, I'm really sad when you say that~ Okay, I apologize to the handsome guy who fainted. It was just a subconscious behavior. I don't like being pointed at by strangers with a magic wand - it reminds me of being The days when the flies don’t stop.”

After saying this, Gresta put away her wand and signaled the witch lady behind Isabella with her eyes.

Isabella pursed her lips and pressed down the wand raised in Aretha's hand. She quickly came to the fainted Gray and pulled out the wand.

"Luma...[Traktado] (Holy Healing Spell)"

With only two syllables uttered in his mouth, warm golden light poured out from the tip of the staff and enveloped the man.

Aretha, who was watching Isabella casting the spell, picked her ears, as if she suspected that she heard wrongly.

That child... he obviously only recited half of the spell, right? ? He actually released the seventh-level sacred healing spell like this? Oh My God!

boom!

As soon as this idea came up, Aretha's vision went dark and she lost consciousness.

Isabella quickly turned back to look at the innocent-looking Gresta behind her. The sound of Miss Witch falling to the ground behind her startled her.

"Teacher Gresta?!"

"Don't look at me like that, this is for your sake."

"Knocked them all out for my sake?"

Gresta came to Isabella, pulled her up from the ground, and threw a healing spell to Aretha who fainted on the ground.

"Remember, don't let others see you using magic. You don't know what level it is to omit chanting! You don't want witches and magicians from the entire continent to come and trouble you, right?"

"I....."

"Now, let's get out of here...obey!"

take it back to the table

With her own witch crest, Gresta waved her wand to open the door of the interrogation room, and pulled Isabella out.

"AkvaFantazio (Fantasy of Water)"

Before leaving, Gresta did not forget to throw down a disguise magic to cover up the place as if no one had been there. Without arousing anyone's suspicion, she led Isabella out of the law enforcement with her head held high. The department building blends into the crowd on the street.

One look at this skilled technique and you can tell that he is a repeat offender.

Chapter 40 The Curse Called Time

The faint sound of water flow echoed in the slightly empty luxury bathhouse. Isabella soaked in the large wooden barrel prepared for her by Gresta and sighed while looking at the hot spring as big as a swimming pool in front of her.

The heat is steaming hazily, moistening the light, making things in the distance unclear. The warm liquid surrounding his body exudes a faint fragrance of herbs and flowers, and a tingling comfort and carelessness spread all over his body. Feeling lazy.

But Isabella sighed "Hey" at this time.

Gresta's head poked out of the large pool in front of her. Her long dark purple hair was wrapped in a bath towel and rolled up. Water droplets slipped from her smooth skin, leaving seductive traces.

"What's the matter? You keep sighing with a frown on your face. Are you still worried about those two people?"

Staring at Gresta who seemed a little heartless, Isabella's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to the tall peaks on her chest, but she immediately looked away.

"Of course! Those are the law enforcers in the city, right? Isn't this equivalent to knocking the police unconscious in the police station and running out after committing a crime?"

Let’s not talk about the two poor ghosts who were knocked unconscious. At least they will be fine after receiving the healing spell. He and Gresta will definitely be wanted! ?

Isabella had always been a good child who was polite and orderly. Isabella never imagined that she would become a wanted criminal the first time she came to a city in another world.

Thinking of this, Isabella covered her face and leaned back against the barrel, unable to help but want to whine.

"Yeah~ That's right. Little Isa has always been a good child. Wouldn't it be exciting to experience the feeling of being wanted by the police occasionally?"

"It won't be exciting at all! It even makes my conscience reproached.... Let's turn ourselves in."

"You have to go by yourself, I won't accompany you~" Gresta raised her brows and sat back in the water, "Yeah~ Sure enough, if you just use magic to clean your body, you won't be able to feel this feeling! It's so bad Everyone wants to sleep here..."

Isabella really had nothing she could do about the witch teacher in front of her. Fortunately, she could still say the word "no money" to the policemen in the police station without changing her expression. Looking around, she could see this luxurious bathhouse with an area of ​​almost several thousand square meters without even blinking. Booked for half a day.

You can tell with your toes that the money required to book such a private luxury bath is many times more expensive than the traffic fine of 145 silver coins.

"Obviously as long as you pay the fine, nothing will happen... ugh...!"

"Don't think about it, I won't spend a penny of money~"

"This is not 'unjust money' at all, right? It's obviously your own problem, teacher!"

Facing the blame from her lovely disciple, Gresta showed no introspection at all. She still leaned against the hot spring pool with a look of enjoyment on her face, closed her eyes and stopped talking.

The air was temporarily quiet, with only the occasional splash of water echoing around.

After a while, Gresta looked back at Isabella, who was lying listlessly by the barrel on the shore. She twitched her lips as if feeling helpless and said proactively: "Okay, don't worry, we won't be wanted." of."

But Isabella didn't respond to her intention. She just changed directions in the bucket, leaving her back to Gresta.

Oops~ Little Isa’s angry look is so cute!

She didn't notice that Gresta's eyes seemed to be sparkling behind her, and Isabella actually had some guesses about what would happen next.

The level of science and magic here is not much lower than that of Helsalem Zlot. It is impossible for the law enforcers to find Gresta, a guy who is not prepared to hide his whereabouts at all, not to mention that there are still people around her. Follow this super newbie who has never committed any crime.

Leticia once said that this is a continent that values ​​the strong and powerful. Even though it has entered a long period of peace, this concept still exists deeply in the hearts of the residents of the Durunoi continent.

Glasta's attitude showed that she had done this kind of thing all the time, including Leticia's unsurprised tone on the other end of the phone.

There is no way to control or control... Even issuing a wanted warrant will not only bring trouble to the entire city that may be destroyed, but leaving it alone may be a better choice.

Having mastered a powerful force that cannot be easily stopped by others...there is no need to be bound by the rules set by the weak, and you can do whatever you want without worrying about the coming of sanctions.

Since Gresta is like this, her master Letitia can still stop her and deal with all the consequences for her, but...

Isabella has always been very concerned about what Gresta said to her before.

[He is too powerful, so powerful that nothing can stop him, as long as he is constantly entangled with that day.

If the cause and effect overwhelms the spirit, he will become a madman more terrifying than the devil. Do you understand? 】

No matter how hard you pray that that day won't happen, no one can say for certain that it won't happen.

"Procedure....."

"What's the matter, do you miss your husband?"

The voice from behind made Isabella, who was muttering softly, startled.

As the water level in the barrel suddenly rose, another soft and plump body slid in. Isabella felt two surprisingly large soft balls pressing against her back.

"G...Teacher Gresta?!"

"Hey, don't move around and squeeze. This medicine is very expensive~"

The sound of rushing water became louder, and part of the dark brown medicinal bath solution splashed out of the wooden barrel.

"Can't you just soak alone?!"

"The barrel is very big, and it's for two people... They're both girls, why are you blushing?"

"So you are planning to join me from the beginning?"

"So smart~ As expected of my favorite little Isa."

Gresta leaned back, let go of Isabella's almost stiff body, and stared at her with a smile.

After Isabella gradually got used to Gresta's gaze, she relaxed her body slightly and curled her legs up in front of her chest.

"What were you thinking about just now? You have a sad face. If you keep frowning, you will age quickly."

".....nothing."

"Let me guess, are you thinking about your husband?"

"You've already heard it secretly, so what else can you say..."

"Hehe..." Gresta smiled slightly and said, "But actually, you don't have to worry too much."

"Why?"

"Because as a 'human' you - there is no way you can survive the day when he will go crazy and become a demon."

Isabella looked surprised and opened her eyes slightly.

"Have you forgotten? You are a human being...as I said. But he is different. He has almost endless time. How long you want to live depends entirely on the mood of the mysterious existence in him that erases the cost of cause and effect."

Time is the greatest curse that binds everything.

"You will grow old due to time, die due to time, and turn into ashes in the soil under the tombstone. In fact, you don't need to think about what happens after that."

Gresta drew a straight line in the air with her finger.

"In the long river of time, the human lifespan is as short and beautiful as the fireworks that bloom in an instant, so... you can actually enjoy the life you have now. The person who can accompany him all the way-"

It won't be you.

Gresta noticed that Isabella's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she immediately closed her mouth without saying the last few words.

"You mean...even if I spend my whole life loving him, I will still be just a passer-by in his eyes?"

A beautiful but short-lived fireworks exploded in the night sky?

Gresta was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Although his long timeline has just begun, and he may not have experienced many separations, but in the future... he will."

"Is that so...that's what it is."

Isabella's eyes flickered a few times, but a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

"Is Leticia the one who can go forward with Jean..."

No wonder he never felt Leticia's feelings for Cheng Rang when she was in front of him.

As an immortal, she has experienced countless partings and witnessed countless lives that were cursed by time and turned into dust.

Leticia has no need to rush for the moment. She will only try her best to help herself spend what she considers a "short and beautiful" life, and then——

"Teacher Gresta..."

"Um?"

"It's a bit selfish to say this, but how can we change from fireworks to candles?"

Compared to the momentary fireworks, the candlelight that can illuminate the darkness is much dimmer, but it is better than lasting.

"The candles will eventually burn out." Gresta persuaded her expressionlessly.

"It would be nice if it could last a little longer, a little longer! I'm already twenty years old... I used to think I was still very young, but the more I think about it... the more scared I become."

In another ten years, twenty years...thirty years?

Thirty years is too short! In Gresta's perception, thirty years is just "it's been a while since I took a bath in that nice bathhouse."

But for me, that is already half my life...

"Give up. Immortality is not as beautiful as you imagined. Rather, it is the cruelest curse that time has placed on us. I will not let you suffer greater pain than that."

Isabella lowered her head, then suddenly looked into Gresta's calm amber eyes, and her voice suddenly became a little higher.

"You won't let me suffer...? If you can say that...it means you have a way! Doesn't it?!"

Gresta was slightly startled. Then she realized that she had let something slip unknowingly, and she couldn't help but narrowed her eyes and gasped.

It had been a long time since anyone had been able to chat with me so intimately, but accidentally...

What a hassle.

Really unable to escape the intense gaze of Isabella's eyes that seemed to be able to speak, Gresta finally relented and said: "Of course, but the price is high...

"

Chapter 41 The price of cruelty

"What's the price?!" Isabella asked quickly.
