Chapter 6: After the fierce fight.

Two persons, A witch and a boy, fight each other for 3 days straight without exhausting their mana.

"Why didn't you stop? Hey!"

Milanni was the first who get tired out after the fierce fight against the boy.

"You asked for this. I am not gonna stop until you can listen to me, master."

"Alright, alright! Just stop!"

Alan being considerate, he cancelled all of spells he prepared for his next attack against the witch.

"It seems that you, master, doesn't even want to see me as a student or disciple of yours but rather you'd like to see me as a nuisance."

He took out the tattered bath towel from his body and went to clean up himself at the river, again.

"Since ever I came here to you for my request to learn magic, you never even try to be a good master. Why are you like that, Milanni?" He speaks calmly as he rant against his master.

"Wha-what? I-I-I... That's not it! I did that because I don't want another nuisances that take my time for my research to break myself out from this curse. I mean, I can't possibly get out here in this place. I'll lose my magic powers. The original bearer of the magic I was inherited is gone. I apologize but I can't tell anything beyond that."

The witch felt downhearted after she tell Alan her frustrations.

"I just want to hear the real reason why but I think I can accept that as a valid reason anyway."

Alan turned his back from Milanni and swam away on the deepest part of the river keeping a distance from her.

"You seemed to be more mature than any other kid aged like you?" She undressed to wash herself to relieve her frustrations.

Alan tried to look at her but he didn't react like a normal kid or young man flustering seeing a naked body of a woman. It's just natural for him to see, let's say an erotic body, since his past life played multiple adult games as a desire suppression training because of a boss from a VR game he played is too erotic and hard to kill.

"It is because I am unlike other kids, I am an adult in my mind. Moreover, I am a different person than before because of transmigration? I think that's a correct word. I have the memories from another world though most of it are not that memorable."

"Ho." Milanni in amazement. "Would you mind to share it for me?"

"I don't mind. You are trustable person despite being delinquent I know. But, in exchange, I think I'll just keep it. Regard it as a favor from me."

"Favor? Hah. That beats me. You are the most mysterious kid I've ever teached."

"Heh."

Alan's stomach rung out like grinding engine. They both get up from the river to dry themselves and prepare to make a food.

"Let's continue our stories after we cook a food." He sighed slightly then said, "New year is about to come. I hope I can go back to the village."

"Now you mention it, isn't it today is the New Year? Let me check my calendar."

She went to her room to take a look at her calendar, she returned with a blissful expression of her face.

"Alan, you should quickly prepare the ingredients for a feast! It's actually New Year!"

"What day is it?"

"Spethra 10078, First month, first day!"

The boy went around to prepare for their feast for two people since they missed the new year celebration.

"Can't you just help me here?"

"Okay fine."

Afterwards, they finished cooking various delicious dishes they could ever think of, although Alan mostly cook dishes from Earth like he play a VR cooking simulation game.

"These dishes, I've never seen it before. It looks delicious and smells delicious. Can I dig in now?"

"Yes, but something's missing."

"What missing?"

Alan can't accept that the commodity he needs isn't there. RICE!

"Uhh master, Is there something a golden brown grain that looks like a wheat grain but thinner?"

"Oh? You mean rice? There is rice but it can be bought from another nation."

"That's bad. Wait... It DOES exist here in this world and it is called Rice??? (It sounds similar to English as well)"

"Yes? But again, that grain exist in tropical nations in the werebeasts areas. Don't be surprised, I do have a few bags of rice from Osmond but I hid it since 25 years ago in my spatial storage because I don't know how to cook it."

"Give it to me now. GIVE IT TO ME NOW!" Alan awaken his asian instincts because of the influence of the memories from another Alan. He menacingly asked a bag of rice from Milanni to cook. A few minutes later, the rice was cooked.

"The feast is complete. Master, You are now freely to dig in all you want."

They happily celebrate the new year by understanding each other, casually talk about their stories, and sorts.

•

The witch was drinking outside at her house, soaking in the night light. She seems thinking something too deeply.

"I wonder what's wrong with me. I want to leave this place but my powers will disappear."

She took a booze from her spatial and she drinks it until it's empty.

The boy couldn't sleep because he eat too much, so he went out of the witch's house to warm up for fast digestion. He saw the witch who seemed sad and anxious. He approached and talked to the witch.

"What's wrong, master?"

The witch tooks another booze from her spatial storage then she drink it like there's no end of it.

"No, nothing. There's nothing wrong. I just want to be alone." She was really downhard intoxicated by the alcohol she consumed.

"Then you really want to talk."

"There's nothing we could talk about."

"There is. I told you everything about my other self's memories but I only told you a little bit of those."

"Ho. Well then, spill it."

Alan began to speak out about his other self's memories from beginning to the end.

After she heard the sad story of Alan's another self, she cried.

"Why'd you cry? It's not sad though."

Milanni wipes out her tears and fortunately, she sober up a little bit.

Alan choose to stay silent, he doesn't want to hear the reason in order not to make her more depressed.

"Hey alan, can you teach me martial arts?"

"Huh, what??!?!?!" Alan stupified for a moment.

"Why?"

"You see. I want to go outside and explore the but I can't because of the contract I've agreed with the dryad here."

"Oh. okay."

"I am willing to pour out all of my resources to you. I want to break up this curse."

"Okay, okay. I accept."

Milanni was happy when Alan agrees. She then hugs and rubs her body on the boy.

Subsequently, their master-student miscommunicatwd relationship becomes settled and they now understand each other.
