The gods have killed all the witches.

Well, one of them still survives. And thankfully, her sisters were able to take many of the gods with them. But when a goddess resurfaces to take over the human world, will our heroine accept a call to stop her? Or will she prefer to be left alone and live a simple, peaceful life by herself?

"Even rumors are useful. It's good to prepare for the worse, but I wouldn't have any idea what the worse is if not by rumors."

Alis smiled pleasantly. "Again, another interesting concept I might take from you, my dear Inarenta. You would be a prolific writer, I think."
