Otaku Witch-Chapter 1656 - 871: The Kind-Hearted Magician

"Captain, are you sure we really want to enter this magic house?"

Lucia looked at the main tent occupying the absolute position in the entire circus, then turned to confirm with the petite captain beside her, who was also sweating profusely.

Well, the previous actions in the divination house had already made the two realize that the clown’s recommendation might not have been a lie, so this magic house was naturally the most dangerous area in the circus.

And now, looking at the absolute position of this magic house tent, its status is already beyond doubt.

High energy ahead, absolute peril.

Even though the vampire sorceress’s face remained expressionless like usual, in truth, she was somewhat panicked; otherwise, she wouldn’t have felt the need to confirm repeatedly.

The fortune teller’s methods in that divination house were already bizarre and terrifying to her, even now, recalling it, Lucia couldn’t help but get goosebumps. It was hard to imagine what kind of person could overshadow that fortune teller.

"You’re speaking as if we really had another choice; even if we don’t go in now, we’ll still have to enter eventually, it’s just a matter of sooner or later."

Evelette took a few deep breaths, answering this way.

Lucia fell silent, for what the captain said was indeed true.

So, the two gritted their teeth and lifted the tent curtain in front of them and walked in, and then...

Nothing happened.

There were neither scary mannequins at the entrance nor various dangerous traps; what was presented to the two was a wide stage, with rows of neatly arranged audience seats in front of it.

Well, all this seemed very normal, as a magic house should be, but the problem was that such a normal scene suddenly appearing in this abnormal circus felt rather uncomfortable.

"Ah... did today’s guests arrive so early?"

Just as Evelette and Lucia were stunned, a voice came from behind the stage curtain, and a head poked out from behind it.

It belonged to a pretty big sister’s face that looked very kind and approachable.

And when this big sister fully walked out, they saw a gentle beauty dressed in black magician’s attire, wearing a magician’s high hat, and holding a twin snake wand. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Hello, you two, I’m Hermes the magician. Very pleased to have you visit my magic house, but the official performance will have to wait a while for the other guests to arrive together."

Miss Magician elegantly took off her hat, bowed, and greeted the two, saying this.

"It’s alright, no problem."

Evelette and Lucia quickly returned the greeting, and then secretly sized up this seemingly easy-going Miss Magician, doubting the truth of the clown’s words once more.

Is this the most terrifying magic house in the circus? What’s scary about this? Miss Magician seems so approachable.

Looking at Miss Hermes’s pure and kind smile, their guards lowered significantly.

The Demon Witch was still very sensitive to various negative emotions and malicious intent.

Just like the fortune teller in the divination house who seemed pitch black like a humanoid abyss in their eyes; merely sensing the fortune teller’s magic power evoked a terrifying feeling of being entangled by poisonous snakes, wishing to move away immediately.

But Miss Hermes was entirely the opposite; her smile radiated heartfelt warmth and kindness, like sunshine in winter, particularly healing and intoxicating.

Just seeing her smile, Evelette and Lucia felt their previous fear and trauma being gently soothed.

"Okay, okay, you guys sit down for now."

Miss Magician walked over to them, reached into her magician’s high hat, and pulled out a handful of various snacks, giving Evelette and Lucia each a large handful.

"These are homemade by me, don’t be shy, just try them. It’ll take some time before the show starts."

Miss Hermes said very enthusiastically.

And she herself had no intention of returning to the backstage preparation room; instead, she accompanied the two, sitting in the audience seats and helped herself to a handful of snacks, tasting them with delight.

She ate a bite, closing her eyes in pleasure, the abundant happiness visibly radiating out.

Evelette and Lucia: "......."

The two exchanged a glance, looked down at their hands full of mouthwatering snacks, and their minds were still buzzing.

Where am I? Who am I? What was I intending to do?

Initially, they both prepared mentally for suffering and torment, but now being treated with delicious food and drink, they found themselves somewhat at a loss.

They wanted to suspect Miss Magician’s kindness was all an act, but it seemed too genuine, not like an act at all.

They dared not move rashly, afraid of provoking Miss Hermes and having her become hostile or something.

In summary, they tread cautiously, the fear understated.

After a long while, it was Evelette who bit the bullet and, embracing a do-or-die mentality, took a piece from the pile of snacks in her hand and popped it into her mouth.
