The silver-haired girl, lost in thought, was unaware that in a pavilion not far behind her, another girl with flaxen green hair and yellow eyes was watching her with great interest.
She suddenly had a mischievous thought and got up to walk over quietly.
"Where is this place?" The silver-haired girl was really puzzled. Just as she was about to walk around and take a look, she turned around unintentionally and saw the flaxen-green-haired girl who was tiptoeing up behind her.
The two women stared at each other, and a moment of silence fell between them.
"cough......"
"ah?!"
"thump"
A soft cough was followed by the girl's gasp, and then the sound of them falling to the ground.
“Miao Miao…”
Emilia tackled Muirses, burying her head deeply in Muirses' neck, her voice trembling.
Muirse gently patted Emilia's back.
"Get up, you're so heavy!"
"ah!!!"
Muirsey cried out in pain, feeling a sharp bite on her neck.
"Hey! Are you a vampire?! You're biting my neck!"
"I'll bite! You dare say I'm heavy?! And you call me a vampire?! I'm so cute and pretty! How could I possibly be associated with a vampire?!"
"Hmph, these days all vampires have turned into young and beautiful girls... Ouch! Stop! Stop! Don't bite me!"
Muirsey gently rubbed the two light bite marks on her neck, gasping for breath.
"Hmph, do you know you were wrong now?!"
Emilia had already gotten up and sat on Muirses, glaring at her fiercely, while skillfully tickling her as she spoke.
"Hahaha, hahaha, I, I was wrong!"
Muirsey was being tickled so badly she almost laughed until tears streamed down her face, and she quickly begged for mercy.
"Humph......"
Emilia then released her grip and rested her head on Muels's slightly heaving chest, but then she looked up with a look of disgust.
"Huh? What's that? It's so hard!"
Emilia proudly puffed out her chest again. Although she couldn't compare to Alicia, she completely overwhelmed Muirsey. The trio perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be "extra large," "large," and "small."
"..."
Muirse stared at Emilia with dead fish eyes, her cheeks slightly puffed out.
“Mimi…” Emilia lay back on Muirseth, inhaling the natural fragrance emanating from her.
“Yes, I’m here.” Muirsey held Emilia’s hand, their fingers intertwined, just like when they grew up hand in hand with Alicia.
“...Miao Miao”
"I've always been here."
"...Mimi," it's so good to see you again.
Muirsey felt the moisture gradually dripping from her body, but she simply continued to gaze up at the sky.
"What? Are you crying?"
"...No, it got wet from the water on you."
"Huh?! Am I a water spirit?!"
"Hehe, hard to say. Isn't playing in the water your specialty? It's normal for there to be a lot of water."
"And you? Ice Man? The Ice Man who loves playing with ice cubes the most?"
"Huh? Who said I only want to play with ice? I can play all kinds of things!"
The two laughed and played in the pink flower field for a while, and talked about what had happened after Muirsey left, complaining about those inhuman people.
They finally sat in the pavilion, looking at the magnificent pink sea of flowers around them.
Emilia then inquired about what had happened here.
"Speaking of which, what exactly is this place?"
From the very beginning, she was curious about this pink sea of flowers formed by many delicate pink blossoms. It looked incredibly dreamy and beautiful, just like the eternal and flawless paradise that Alicia had once imagined.
Muirsey, who could completely guess Emilia's thoughts, smiled and said.
"This is the eternal, flawless paradise that Alicia spoke of."
"Although it's just a copy."
Emilia was a little confused, but before she could ask, she heard Muirsay speak again.
"I know you have many questions, but first, you can try to 'see' your own true nature."
"My essence?"
“Yes,” Muirsay said to Emilia with a smile, “I believe in you, you will definitely be able to ‘see’ it.”
Emilia's dark purple eyes met Muirsey's smiling yellow eyes.
Then she closed her eyes.
At first, there was only darkness before her eyes, but Emilia quickly calmed herself down. Then, she seemed to see... uh? a very bright body of water beside her?
That's... Miu Miu? Emilia suddenly realized that the bright water could actually be Miu Miu? The essence of Miu Miu? She didn't seem to be wrong, Miu Miu is a water person.
"And what about myself?" Emilia looked at herself.
Huh? An ice cube? My essence? An ice cube? Emilia was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized that the ice cube she 'saw' was only the surface, and the true essence was deeper.
However, Emilia was very patient and continued to 'watch'.
The ice in front of her was gradually cleared away, and she finally 'saw' her true nature: a ball of pure light.
Emilia opened her eyes again.
"Well? You should have 'seen' it by now, right?" Muirsey asked.
“Hmm!” Emilia nodded, but she still had many questions about why her essence was a ball of light.
“No, you just think it’s light,” Muirsay said, seemingly able to read Emilia’s mind.
However, Emilia blinked. What a strange feeling...?
“It’s just a more convenient way to communicate.” Muirse didn’t speak, but her 'voice' still reached Emilia’s ears… no, her consciousness… no, it was her very essence.
Emilia was puzzled and surprised by this incredibly novel way of communicating. She could 'hear' Muirses' voice simply because she was familiar with language-based communication.
This only made Emilia more confused about the true nature of her relationship with Miu Miu.
"Let's put it simply."
Muirsey, knowing Emilia's doubts, paused and then spoke.
"But don't be afraid of what I'm about to tell you."
"Yes! I'm not afraid!"
"We are all witches, in truth."
"...?"
"We are all companion witches born alongside the Primordial Witch!"
"???"
Chapter 471 Ceremony
"Miao Miao..." This is not funny at all!
Emilia was somewhat angry, but she didn't know what to say, because after seeing her true nature, she remembered the witches she had seen before.
From her memories, she also saw the true nature of those witches, which was no different from her own. Emilia then remembered Alicia, with whom she had spent so many years.
"The Primordial Witch is Alicia?"
"Are we her companion witches?"
Emilia looked at Muirsay in disbelief.
"Yes, and no, the pink fairy sister is actually the Primordial Witch, as is Alicia, but their situation is a bit more complicated."
"We are actually the companion witches born of the fairy sister, although you could also say that we were created by the fairy sister."
Muirsey looked at the sea of pink flowers before her with mixed feelings.
Her words left Emilia feeling incredibly confused, her mind a complete mess.
Despite this, her mind was incredibly clear as she recalled the pink fairy sister who had taught them since childhood, the Witch of Reason, and those magical girls.
These memories flashed through Emilia's mind.
She, Muirsey, and Emilia all grew up in an orphanage and never found their parents after they grew up. But it turns out that their family had always been around them.
Emilia quickly figured things out: the emergence of magical girls was actually guided by the pink fairy sister, and Alicia was the first magical girl.
The witches and other magical girls that followed basically all appeared after Alicia became a magical girl.
Emilia almost immediately realized the key: the pink fairy sister who created her and Muirses.
"Why did the fairy sister do this? She brought out those witches and magical girls? But why? What have all these years of fighting witches resulted in the deaths of so many people and students?"
Emilia desperately wanted to find the Pink Fairy Sister and get some answers, but ever since the 4th Wind Witch incident, the Pink Fairy Sister seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and hadn't responded at all.
"Well, you could call it a ceremony."
"ceremony?"
"Yes, the ritual. Whether it's the appearance of the witch or the departure of those humans and our students, it's all for this ritual."
"...Is it because of Alicia?" Emilia guessed the answer after a quick thought.
"Hmm," Muirsey nodded and smiled; she knew Amy was reliable.
“But what does it mean to leave?” Emilia couldn’t help but ask.
The deaths of hundreds of millions of humans and thousands of magical girls in the prime of their lives.
Muirsey could sense what Emilia was thinking, but she did not answer Emilia's question directly.
Muirsey took a piece of white paper from his sleeve and placed it on the table in the gazebo.
"What do you think this is?" Muirsey asked with a mysterious smile.
"It's just a piece of paper, isn't it? You haven't answered my question yet," Emilia said, puzzled.
"Guess again?"
"?"
Emilia looked at the blank sheet of paper, but no matter how she looked at it, it was just an ordinary blank sheet of paper.
Muirsey stopped speaking in riddles and chuckled as she shook the blank sheet of paper.
"This is one world."
"What do you think our three-dimensional life forms are compared to life forms that live in a two-dimensional world?"
Emilia fell silent; she understood what Muirses had said.
Without a doubt, that was a god in the true sense.
To a witch, humans in the three-dimensional world are merely two-dimensional beings on a blank sheet of paper.
The dead can be resurrected at will, and time can be turned forward or backward at will.
"...So, all of this was for Alicia's ritual?"
"Yes, a ritual to make Alicia the Primordial Witch."
"But what about Fairy Sister? Isn't she also a Primordial Witch?"
"That's a bit difficult to explain, because I'm not entirely sure myself, but it should be clear after the ceremony."
