"..."
Fisher was panting, neither letting go nor speaking, and Renie, with her face flushed, neither transforming nor acting, just remained in a quiet, tacit embrace with him on the beach.
It wasn’t until a long ti later, when Fisher truly felt the temperature, breath, and fragrance of the person before him, that he suddenly said,
"Welco back, Renie..."
"...Idiot, are you listening to or not?"
"Yes, I’m listening."
Fisher reluctantly released his embrace around the soft and fragrant Renie, who also slowly floated up, her face blushing as she coughed lightly and said to Fisher,
"Before I tell my story, I need to ntion sothing about the origin of witches... Aren’t you curious why witches are similar to humans despite being demi-humans and how they can inherit witch traits through generations? It’s because..."
"It’s because of the Chaos Species, or rather, the Stars in the Spirit Realm, right? Their observation of certain special humans created this unique demi-human species."
Renie blinked, looking at Fisher before continuing,
"Yes, but I am quite different from ordinary witches. Look at your chest, there’s a symbol, that’s..."
"A symbol representing the Spirit Realm?"
Renie blinked again, then angrily pounded Fisher, saying,
"You’re not allowed to speak anymore! Otherwise, I’ll stop talking, and you can say everything yourself."
"As you command, Lady Renie..."
Fisher nodded silently, not speaking further, letting Renie finish her words.
In the next mont, her eyes began to shine, countless Hart Birds on the distant adow also began to light up, as beautiful as scattered purple stars,
"I co from the Spirit Realm, a consciousness similar yet different from the Stars, but you should know that neither gods nor beings from the Spirit Realm should interfere with reality, or it will cause dire consequences. That’s why I’ve hidden my identity for so long, not daring to make contact with others, walking the world alone in the guise of a witch, until I t you, Fisher."
When speaking of "dire consequences," her purple eyes lowered montarily, then returned to that smile full of charm as she continued,
"Over these millennia, I’ve walked the world under many titles like [Undying Witch], [Chaleon], never interfering with the order, observing this world first-hand. You’ve probably encountered quite a few negative examples before this, like the [Completion Manual], those [Transferees], and the previous Spirit Realm pollution... So when I first t you, I considered you an unstable factor because of that Completion Manual on you."
The Completion Manual... So Renie had detected such an item on him the first ti they t, and just like with Elliog back then... In that case, is Renie’s true prowess akin to Elliog’s essence locked beneath the Abyss... or even higher?
"So, I deceived you with lies, my trait is not an infinitely growing magical power, I have no witch sisters, it wasn’t my first ti learning magic, and my true form isn’t what you see. I can transfer my consciousness with Hart Birds anyti because essentially they were also created by and can carry my consciousness just like this body..."
"Sorry, if you’re mad, just say it, I will honestly reflect... But given that I’m confessing now, please scold gently, and I’ll listen attentively!"
As Renie said this, she covered her ears vigorously while looking at Fisher with a pitiful expression, making Fisher, who intended to say sothing, suddenly turn speechless. Seeing Fisher’s helpless look, Renie covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then quickly said in a low voice,
"But, Fisher... being with you is genuinely enjoyable, your previous guess was spot on, besides you and Mrs. Martha, no one else in the world rembers . I cherish the days with you, wishing every day could be like this, though I must leave sotis, especially during the Full Moon Period."
Hearing this sowhat familiar term, Fisher furrowed his brow in confusion,
"Full Moon Period?"
Wasn’t this term ntioned when Ramasitia left and Moli returned to the sea floor to hibernate? Now Renie’s departure seems related to this term...
"Yes, during the Full Moon Period, the world’s rejection of reaches its peak, after all, you know, I’m an outsider, so besides you, no one welcos as a guest... But if it were only the Full Moon Period, I wouldn’t leave for so long. The true reason lies within the Spirit Realm’s pollution."
"A long, long ti ago, the Spirit Realm’s pollution suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It has no intelligence, is extrely destructive, and devours living streams of consciousness. Because of its ergence, the Spirit Realm fell into chaos. The Stars hid the consciousness streams swapping with mortal lives, and it set its eyes on the massive Stars, forcing the weaker ones among them to find survival in the material world, colliding with life here, causing severe destruction..."
