I'm a Witch?! — Page 02

Chapter 2 : I'm a Witch?!

Hm. I don't know what it's going on, but I do know that Miss pixie sure is taking the time of her life just to think about the situation.

After informing me of the place we're in, she told me she needed some time to think things through. I get that the situation is really unusual, yet she's making me wait for like.. 6.. 9, 10 minutes!

It's been ages!

Since Miss pixie who's over there flying to and fro with her hand on her chin, sometimes scratching her head a lot, she's been acting that way for.. IDK! I don't have a watch nor a phone to tell me the time!

Sigh.. Calm down, calm down..

Since I have time to figure things out, I gotta consider what I'm going to do in this new world..

I'm not even certain what kind of Isekai it is.. Whether it's Isekai'd as a character from a novel/game/manga or just plain old Isekai.

One thing for sure though, I gotta live as long as I can. Survival is a must! Ain't no way in heck would I miss this opportunity of living in another world! Like why wouldn't I experience it all while I'm here?

Anyhow, that's one of the objectives every human has. If not.. then, you had it rough, pal.

Ah, my legs are killing me. This is what I get for standing in patience, minus the sexy dress..

Now that I think about it..

Dang, gurl. Not only the face, but also the body is gorgeous. But thank goodness I don't have oversized watermelons as parts of my chest, because I am not ready for the burden of carrying those weights!

Hella no, and begone back pain!

The chest just looks perfect, arms are thin, hands are soft, body shape is an hourglass..

....Ahem, this is still too unreal for me who looks average..

I mean imagine going from normal to extraordinary. You ain't getting this celebrity kind of body in a day nor years! Even with plastic surgery!

Damnit.. For a low self-esteem person like me to have this body is just.. complicated. Just like my relationship status in a certain blue app.

Okay, okay. I'm getting sidetracked yet again. This is the second time I get distracted because of this body I'm possessing.

You can't blame me for being like that until you're in my shoes since this is some unrealistic situation I'm currently in!

Uhm..!

Aside from the body I'm in control of, I need to know what my role is, and y'all know about the system-like Isekai?

Yeah, I was hoping for that.. but.. speaking out the word 'status window' does completely nothing.

Trust me, I tried. And I don't want to see Miss pixie's expression again. Never. Ever.

I was really hoping for a status screen to pop up, then it would be easy to identify what types of skills I have, who I am, where I'm from, and etc.

But I guess not.

Not that it matters. I got Miss pixie here who can tell me everything I need to know, although I shouldn't trust her, it's better than nothing, right?

Hm.

Hmm..

I'm bored. Why is Miss pixie spending precious time thinking over there? Is it about Belladonna? It seems Miss pixie assumes that she lost her memories.

When in fact, I'm just an earthling in this Belladonna's body. I do feel bad for taking over her body, but it's not like I have the power to switch bodies.

In the first place, I got transferred here without my permission and in the body of a sexy lady. Ahem..

Hmm.. hmm. Hmmm.. Waiting.. Waiting..

Still waiting..

Gosh.. Imagining a world without a phone is like a nightmare to me who is always on her phone 24/7.

I need something to do or else I'll die from boredom. Nobody wants to die from something like that! That's lame!

Let's see.. I'm taking off the hat I'm wearing, and just so you know, I'm not sure if I am what this hat is telling me, maybe this Belladonna person was cosplaying or whatever..

But the hat I'm wearing is a @¢°π`.. Huh? Oh, oh right, yee, witch hat. Damn, I got a headache for a second there just to think about what it was.

A weird headache at that.. That's strange.

But anyway! It looks beautiful!! The witch hat, I mean! Damn beautiful! It has butterflies to decorate the dark purple fabric of the hat, making it look so majestic!

Oh, while we're at it, let's talk about my outer appearance as in clothes! The dress is.. what do you call this dress?

I'm not interested in dresses and more into pants, so this is a first for me.. Uh.. This dress looks like a mermaid.. So I think it's a mermaid dress with long sleeves?

The dress is colored COMPLETELY starry night to bring out the brilliance of the white hair and diamond eyes, along with the pale skin.

..Galaxy type of person, aay? Unknown yet hella beautiful like the galaxy. I like this Belladonna person!

Ah! Now I know why my legs were hurting me. It was the heels! The heels are killing my foot, not my legs! Ow..!

This sucks.

Why would anyone wear heels? I mean.. it doesn't hurt that much since this is not my body, so it may have gotten used to it.

All and all, I look MAGNIFICENT! Haha..

Ha… This is.. really something I need time to process in..

"Belladonna. Is there something you want to know about yourself?"

Ah, thank goodness, miss pixie is done pondering. Now I just need to ask the wisest question a dumb person like me needs to hear the answer of.

"Miss Pixie, can I have a full introduction about myself from you? Ah, first, I want to know your name."

Damnit, conversation ain't my forte. Did I sound weird? Well, it's already weird to hear someone's else's voice come out instead of mine.

Why didn't I notice it at first when I was talking to Miss Pixie earlier? Huh, guess I'm too dumb to realize it.

Side note, Belladonna's voice is sexy..

Goddamnit, to think this one of a kind body is in my possession.. You can see how happy I am by seeing me biting my damned GORGEOUS lips!

"My name is Cynthia, and I am your one and only friend. I have been with you for about a century."

…

..SAY WHAT?!??!

A CENTURY?! WHAIFNEOEBCOF… WHAT?!

Okay, overreacting is over. Now time to use my dumb brain.. What the hell does she mean century? Does it mean I'm older than a century?

Uh.. This body looks youthful though.. So I can guess that this body can get as old as a thousand? I have seen these kinds of humans in anime before..

I'm not too surprised since.. Between getting transported here or knowing the body you're in is older than you think, which one is more mind-blowing?

Well, of course, it's gonna be sent to another world! Geez, why ask, me?

"Your name is Belladonna Galaxia who has deep—…"

Oh? Why did Cynthia stop talking? And why does she look.. crestfallen? Kinda makes me want to express my sorrow too, y'know..

"Ahem. You're a bright lady."

Yeah, I doubt that from seeing your expression earlier, Miss Pixie, uh, I mean, Cynthia.

"And you're also a witch as you can see from what you're wearing."

Whoa… It wasn't cosplay..? Not that I hate witches, I actually very much love them!

Nonetheless..

Witches are described to be bad people who worship the devil or whatever humans do to target witches just because of their selfishness of denying the unknown.

Not only that, I have watched a lot of videos about how people are treated when someone declares another as a witch even though they're not.

Either lie or say the truth, once you're suspected to be a witch, you ain't gonna survive through the incineration.

Humans are really.. Sigh.

But.. one thing for sure, I wouldn't know if witches are actually considered taboo in this world, so I should probably ask just in case.

"Am I a bad person?"

"Bad? No way!"

..That was a wrong question to ask her, me. Why would you ask if you're good or bad?! I'm talking about if witches are taboo here, not whether Belladonna was a hero or a villainess!

Let's just try again, shall we? I can do this!

"Uhm.. Does being a witch mean I'm evil?"

Waiting for her response.. It literally took her a few seconds just to reply. What is she thinking?

"Where did you ever hear that? Witches are necessary jobs just like knights and mages."

Oh, Cynthia finally answered. Right, right. I nodded and exhaled in relief when I heard the answer I wanted. If witches were the incarnation of evil, then I may as well live in isolation.

..Though, I would still want to live alone anyways since I'm not like those extroverts who go out and make friends.

I admire those extroverts, but I'm just an introvert who wants peace and quiet around me.

With that out of my mind, let's start my other reaction.

I'M A WITCH?! Why can't I just be a knight?! I really want to hold a sword all my life! It's cool as heck!

A mage as well. I know witches and mages can be the same exact thing, yet I still wanna be a mage!

Cool magic and stuff! I can shout spell names like Explosion! What a cool yet embarrassing thing to do! H-haha..

And of course, I could have been transmitted as a royal member of the imperial family or the duke's family..

However, I'm not wasting my time wearing corsets just to look pretty in front of noblemen, okay? Okay.

I already dislike dresses, so wearing them everyday as a noblewoman is just a pain in the ass.

I'm getting off topic again. Sigh, I need to stop doing that or else I'll never get things done.

Now what was I thinking about..? Uhm.. witches.. mages.. knights.. ah!

In any case, knowing that I'm a witch is a bit of a..hm.. I almost said disappointment when it should be disappointment toward myself because I'm not smart enough to come up with spells and brew potions and stuff like that.

There's also rituals.. Are corpses included or what..? Oh deary me, looks like I'm on a ride of not a rollercoaster, but a titanic ship.

Things are going to be hella insane from here on out. I shouldn't complain about being a witch because it's also as good as mages.

I just pray that witches don't go down in history as taboos.. Like what if humans in this world are cowards that fear the unknown enough to burn witches..

…I'm sorry for talking bad about humans when I'm just as human as everyone else, but you know what I mean..

Anyways, it just doesn't sit well with me being a witch.. I just don't know why, but I have a strange feeling about it..

..Why..

"Belladonna! Let's go back to our shelter before monsters sniff us out."

Oh? Oh, oh right.

Uhm.. I'm pretty sure that if monsters could sniff, they would have found us immediately with their powerful noses.

Or is it just me thinking like that? Huh, I guess so.

"Follow me quickly, Belladonna. It'll take a long time to get there without you knowing how to use your power."

How long is 'a long time'? If this Belladonna was op and such, wouldn't a long time be a light year longer than long?

Please be a short distance from where I am so that I won't die from exhaustion. I ain't walking for that long, okay? I got HEELS, okay?

Oh, jeez. My head hurts. Okay, fine. Let's just go before Cynthia leaves me behind.

Not that I'm in a hurry or anything, just.. I have a strange feeling that something bad is going to happen to spice up my life in another world.

Since there is NO WAY for someone to just go, 'oh, you're in a new world? Here, have some GOOD shi—'

Because that's just nonsense. We do insane things here in the Isekai genre, okay?

…I regret that after saying it.

..wut..

..It didn't take me long for me to regret predicting and jinxing myself for that future..

In the distant future which isn't that long, I.. encounter something I shouldn't have, and it's not something.. harmless..

..This.. Am I doomed?! What is this?! Doomed the moment I came here?! Really?!

..Why is my mouth a jinx-er? I shouldn't have said all those things about my gut feeling! Darnit, this is what I get for being a bird brain!

Someone! Save meeee!!! I shouldn't be saying this when it's only me and Cynthia with a monster STANDING right in front of us!

WHOAAAAA!! *Inserts crying emoji*
