For Airi, this was nothing more than a minor episode during her journey. After taking care of that small trouble, she left with the others and continued onward. Originally, Airi had planned to send Mu directly back to her hometown. However, after hearing about the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, Mu wanted to see it too, so Airi decided to take her there first to have a look before bringing her home.
After all, if Mu herself was not in a hurry, there was no reason for Airi to rush either.
"Wow, it's so beautiful...!"
Sure enough, when Mu arrived at the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and saw the incomparably beautiful alien flower fields before her, her eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. As Airi watched Mu run through the fields, curiously admiring the flowers, she smiled. Then, a voice called out from behind her.
"Ah, Miss Airi, you finally returned."
"Hello, Momo."
Airi turned around and saw Momo standing behind her, smiling at her.
"Nothing happened here, right?"
"Mm... Basically, everything has been normal..."
"Basically?"
Hearing that, Airi frowned.
"So there is some problem?"
"There's a small problem... Actually, Miss Airi, you returned at just the right time..."
"????"
It was rare to see such a complicated expression on Momo's face, and Airi was quite surprised. However, when Momo brought her to a room and she saw the two girls inside, she immediately understood why Momo felt it would be better to leave this matter to her.
That was because the two girls before her were dressed very similarly to Airi. They wore oversized coats and pointed hats. Yes, one glance was enough to identify their profession... they were both witches.
And Airi even knew one of them.
"Ahahahaha... Hello, I'm Elena, the Gray Witch..."
Airi was utterly speechless
