Miss Herta's Witch Form Is About to Appear!

"...?"

No. 0 blinked, looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

No. 0 couldn't understand why the two of them had suddenly jumped from environmental governance to sitting in a tent watching anime. It was like they were just slurping noodles one minute and then suddenly eating dumplings with sugar the next – completely nonsensical and leaving No. 0 bewildered.

Could this be... a truly, truly great genius?!

No. 0 thought that was the case. Although No. 0 was a prototype android created by Ms. Herta using herself as a template, it only had a few of Herta's intelligence. However, it was still not a big problem to deal with people other than geniuses.

"No. 0 is just watching anime, don't overthink it."

Seeing No. 0's thoughts clearly wandering off into the far reaches of the universe, Sera knew that if she didn't stop No. 0, No. 0 might unleash some astonishing wisdom using his newly created and still-developing logic modules.

"Okay, just relax and watch."

Miss Herta found a comfortable spot and gracefully lay down on her side, propping her chin up with her right hand, her eyes carrying a hint of indifference.

"This is magic?"

Miss Herta looked up at Sera beside her.

"I feel like Herta would be perfect as a [mage]."

Sera looked at Herta with a slight smile and continued speaking.

"Look—a 'mage,' or rather a 'witch,' residing in a clock tower hidden in another dimension on the edge of the galaxy—isn't she mysterious and elegant?"

No need for much explanation; when faced with skepticism, simply say – This Is Magic!!

"It really suits me; it's like an identity tailor-made for me."

Miss Herta really liked Sera's description; it was practically a reflection of her future self. But what, then, should a witch be like?

Miss Herta stopped thinking. If she didn't understand, she might as well ask Sera seemed to have a great understanding of this topic!

"What do you think I would be like if I became a witch?"

Miss Herta's melodious voice rang in Sera's ears, but Sera did not answer immediately.

I think...

The Herta must be proud, confident, elegant, and mysterious. Of course, you've heard all of that before.

Why don't you take a look at this?

Sera clenched her fist, then gently released it, and light appeared in the air, forming a witch's outfit.

"You can design clothes too?"

Miss Herta had to admit that every time she thought she understood Sera better, Sera would always show Herta through his actions that what she knew was just the tip of the iceberg. Where exactly was Sera's limit? Could he really do that?

However, Sera's personality and abilities are like a trap for a genius with such intense curiosity. Miss Herta dares to say that no genius would remain uninterested in Sera! None!

"Rather than saying I designed it, perhaps... this is a gift from tomorrow?"

Sera did not claim credit for the achievement.

"This is just a description I made from my Remembrance."

"Oh~"

Miss Herta now understood everything. Why Sera spoke of magic, and why Sera had guided her to become curious about witches.

There's only one answer: this is simply what Sera said herself!

That...

Miss Herta thought of a question, and she frowned thoughtfully about it.

Did Miss Herta design this outfit first, or did Sera design it?

Never mind~

Miss Herta's eyebrows relaxed. She wasn't the type to get stuck on a problem. This question was obviously unsolvable for the time being, so she decided to focus on watching the anime.

Miss Herta received the data from Sera and casually forwarded it to No. 1 Herta, instructing No. 1 to activate the doll. After sending the data, she herself adopted a languid demeanor, like a brown-furred cat—lazy yet aloof.

So cute, I want to pet this cat.

As soon as this thought crossed Sera's mind, she quickly turned her face away from Miss Herta, her cheeks slightly flushed. No. 0 watched this scene, blinked, and silently saved the image to his encrypted database.

This scene did not escape Miss Herta's eyes. Miss Herta simply smiled and did not say anything. Looking at No. 0's shifty eyes, she naturally knew what No. 0 had just done. When they returned, Herta would naturally ask No. 0 for the photos to look at.

"Um..."

Miss Herta stared thoughtfully at the witch on the screen. A witch naturally needs a wand, and recalling the witch's costume, Miss Herta gradually formed an idea.

However, Herta decided to do this part himself. Herta also planned to design an outfit for Sera, similar in style to the witch's dress.

Clothing design is nothing to the great Miss Herta. Herta makes all her own clothes; her hands-on skills are top-notch.

Time passed as they watched anime, and as dusk settled, the campfire illuminated the campsite. It was time to roast the suckling pig!

Sera skewered the dried suckling pig onto the iron rack. Miss Herta took the suckling pig from Sera and began to roast it. Although it was her first time making it, Miss Herta followed the recipe strictly and made a perfect roast suckling pig.

Sera, Sera really enjoyed the roasted suckling pig from Herta. This genius lady is practically a jack-of-all-trades; no wonder she's called Ms. Herta!

No. 0 remained quiet throughout, as Sera No. 0 the Herta —it was simply amazing! No. 0 genuinely enjoyed watching it.

What kind of person No. 0 wants to become is currently unknown, but No. 0 already knows what he No. 0 to see!

If No. 0 could see Sera and Ms. Herta interact every day, No. 0 would be willing to complete his own project!

"You really like the moon."

Miss Herta rested her chin on her hand and watched for a while as Sera gazed at the moon.

"Um.

After all, where I live, there is only eternal daylight, while I prefer the moon in the night, which is why I react this way when I see the moon.

Sera leaned against the blankets laid out in the tent, her expression carrying a meaning that even Sera herself couldn't quite explain.

When people look up at the starry sky in the dark, it's hard to say who hasn't dreamed about the stars.

Once upon a time, the stars were far away and unreachable in the vast universe. The moon, though close, was still an unreachable place for him.

"The moon seemed to exist outside this world, pure and flawless, and the stars appeared to be knights surrounding the moon princess."
