The Little Witch’s Daily Struggle – Chapter 1548

Chapter 1548 Karina’s Subordinates

Originally, I intended to keep my existence a secret from Karina. However, due to Via, my identity was exposed. I had no choice but to explain to Karina what just happened and why I was here.

The excuse I used was that I came to borrow weapons from the Princess. In fact, this was true; I had borrowed the Steel Golem of the Witch Hunter.

Karina didn’t say much. After all, whether I came or not was my freedom. In principle, no member of the Church of Gluttony should interfere with what other believers are doing, as we nominally only obey Beelzebub’s divine revelations.

Instead, she chatted with me about the buffet restaurant, saying she was running it very happily. We talked about operations and recipes for a while, and we quickly became familiar with each other.

“By the way, Saintess, do you want to go outside the city with me? I’ll introduce you to some other believers of the Church of Gluttony. You can consider them my subordinates,” Karina said.

“Okay, let’s go together.” Since the host had invited me, I couldn’t refuse. It was like paying respects upon arriving at a new place, so I agreed.

Speaking of which, whether it’s Lavias, Karina, or the General, they all have large families and businesses to manage. I’m the only one, free and unfettered, which is also good, not having to worry about a myriad of things.

“Sigh! I still have a etiquette class later, and a group of servants are watching me. I can’t go with you,” the Princess said with disappointment.

“When I’m better prepared next time, I’ll take you out to play. For today, just bear with it. Oh right, I brought you a small gift back from Frankfurt, hope you like it.” Karina took out a Rubik’s Cube from her sleeve and handed it to the Princess.

After a brief explanation of how to play, the Princess was engrossed and playing happily. Watching them, I felt like Karina and the Princess interacted like a mother and daughter.

“Lorna, come out. Let’s go out of the city,” I called out, waving my hand. Lorna then floated out from the wall.

“What? There’s another ghost!” Karina exclaimed, looking at Lorna floating out in shock. When she noticed someone guiding the Princess from behind, she had already thoroughly searched the room with her senses but only found Via’s aura.

She could understand not finding the Saintess’s aura. In Karina’s mind, the Saintess had always been an unfathomable existence, so not finding her was not strange.

But how could a ghost evade her senses, and even be secretly watching her this entire time while she was chatting, was something Karina found hard to accept.

“Wait! I think I’ve seen you before. Are you the Vengeful Spirit the Saintess brought to the meeting?!” Karina also remembered seeing Lorna, but her expression became even more shocked.

Unlike the Princess, who was merely surprised by Lorna’s outward change, Karina was more knowledgeable and could see the fundamental changes in Lorna.

“Impossible! You changed from a Vengeful Spirit to a Ghost! And such a pure soul, your spiritual power has also grown so much!” Karina exclaimed, looking at Lorna in astonishment. It had only been half a year!

Especially Lorna’s aura shocked her even more. Since the little ghost had recently absorbed precious materials like the Cemetery Black Rose, Soul Condensing Stone, and Spirit Grass Snail, her current aura was vastly different from before.

“This is all thanks to my sister’s help. I didn’t do anything,” Lorna said with a shy smile. What she said was indeed the truth. From resolving her inner turmoil to transforming into a ghost, I had helped her with everything. She deliberately concealed my name.

“Heh, I did put in quite a bit of effort, buying expensive materials, resolving her life’s regrets, and even performing surgery on her. It wasn’t easy,” I said humbly. However, I was genuinely dedicated to Lorna, which was something to be proud of.

Karina’s expression changed from shock to admiration. Although she didn’t understand what the Saintess had done, it sounded incredibly powerful. And the reality matched her impression. To transform a Vengeful Spirit, who was like a weak cannon fodder, into a ghost with such a pure aura in such a short time was truly amazing.

“Alright, alright, enough talk. We should get going. Via, come here,” I beckoned, and Via immediately turned into a black shadow and slipped into my shadow.

Although Karina was chatting and laughing with me, she had been observing all along. She knew that this ghost was already the Saintess’s servant.

The daughter of Lavias also appeared to be obedient to the Saintess. It was likely that Lavias sent her to the Saintess’s side to strengthen their relationship after going to Iberia. From their attitudes, it could be seen that Lavias and the Saintess were cooperating happily and had likely formed a small faction.

She also needed to maintain a good relationship with the Saintess to avoid being marginalized within the Church. This trip was an opportunity.

“Alright, let’s set out. We’ll go to the outpost I rented in Darmstadt first,” Karina said. After we simultaneously entered stealth mode, we flew directly out of the Palace. Karina transformed into a swarm of flies, and Lorna and I followed her.

We landed in an inconspicuous corner of the commoner district. The commoner district of Darmstadt was much more orderly and beautiful than Cando City. The streets were spotless and paved with bricks, with two to three-story residential houses on both sides.

From details like the flower pots on the balconies, clothes drying in the sun, and cotton clothes being worn, one could tell that the living standards of these commoners were quite good, a stark contrast to Cando City.

Even the Werewolf Girl I saw yesterday had a sewing job, sewing machines, and other tools, and her home had meat reserves. She was only relatively poor because she primarily ate meat and had a large appetite, not poor by any means.

One could also see from the greetings between passing commoners and the smiles on their faces that their moods were good, and their neighborly relationships were strong, indicating a relatively high sense of happiness.

Soon, we arrived at a residential house with a courtyard. This three-story mansion was quite large, capable of housing about a dozen people. Unlike most other residential houses with courtyards, which were enclosed by fences or low railings, this courtyard was surrounded by brick walls, making it impossible for outsiders to see inside.

When Karina pushed the door open, I noticed a magical fluctuation at the doorway, which likely required a specific magical attribute to open. Furthermore, after the door opened, I also sensed an aura of the same origin from inside.

“Who’s there? Huh! Eldest Sister, you’re back?” Several people surrounded us. They were all wearing simple black beast skin fur coats, but what wasn’t simple was that they were all holding hunting rifles.

Seeing Karina enter, they put away their hunting rifles. However, upon seeing me and Lorna following behind her, they vigilantly picked up their guns again.

“Don’t be rude. This is the Saintess of the Church. Call all the brothers out to meet the Saintess. Also, prepare a vehicle for us and call the driver. We’re leaving the city,” Karina instructed.
