Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 8

The afternoon sun crept into the room through the conference room window, casting light on the red leather sofa.

It illuminated the beautiful face of the silver-haired young girl.

Sophie seemed to have gone through a difficult inner struggle, and she softly said the words, “I promise you.”

Leon’s expression suddenly became serious; it was his first time cleaning an entry, and he wasn’t entirely confident.

He concentrated, reached out, and touched the red 【On the Verge of Losing Control】 entry above Sophie’s head.

The next second, the red entry, as if knowing it was about to be cleaned, actually started to escape.

From floating above her head, it stuck to Sophie’s hair, then moved to Sophie’s neck, Sophie’s face, Sophie’s waist…

Because he had to catch this red entry with an extremely strong will to survive, Leon was forced to touch the young girl all over.

Sophie’s cheeks were red, but she didn’t misunderstand Leon.

Because both she and Leon could see the entries. The difference was that she could only see her own entry, while Leon could see everyone’s entries.

The red entry actually shamelessly escaped to between Miss Witch’s legs.

Leon awkwardly swallowed,

“Miss Sophie, here I come.”

Sophie closed her eyes, nodded with a lack of desire to live.

Leon concentrated, attacked quickly, a single strike hitting the mark!

Finally, he grabbed it just as the shameless entry was trying to move upwards again!

“Got it.”

The red entry began to struggle in Leon’s hand.

Sophie also felt her magic power fluctuating, as if someone had grabbed her magic channel and forcefully entered it, starting to extract the chaotic magic power within the channel.

The reason witches lose control is actually because their power comes from the true god Taige.

But they bear this magic power with a human physique. Over time, the magic power within their bodies becomes chaotic, moving from the original magic channels to other parts of the body that cannot bear magic power, and the body inevitably begins to collapse.

If these chaotic magic powers can be extracted in time, it can alleviate the symptoms of a witch losing control.

Sophie’s face was pale, her body was in immense pain. She felt as if the chaotic magic power contained within every cell was being extracted.

And this feeling of pain was reproduced on Leon, one-to-one, via the red entry.

That is to say, however much pain Sophie was in, Leon was in that much pain.

No wonder the 【Entry Cleanup】 skill hinted that the ability to clear red entries is directly proportional to physical constitution.

Leon hadn’t even cleaned halfway when he couldn’t bear this feeling of pain anymore and wanted to let go of the red entry.

But he thought of the silver-haired young girl’s lifeless eyes, he thought of the will to live that he had finally managed to stir in her, and the fleeting look of disappointment in her eyes when the people she had just saved looked at her as if she were a monster.

Leon gritted his teeth and endured the pain, continuing to clear the red entry.

Half an hour later, both of them were lying on the ground.

Covered in sweat, breathing heavily.

Leon greedily gasped for air, feeling like he had died once.

Sophie was completely exhausted, feeling like she had truly come back to life.

The moment the entry was completely cleared, Sophie felt a comfort she had never experienced before and couldn’t help but let out a soft murmur.

Leon felt the same way. After all, their feelings were connected.

It was precisely these two out-of-place sounds that plunged the scene into an awkward silence.

Sophie’s face became even redder. Leon immediately explained,

“Miss Sophie, I am truly a decent person.”

“Mm.”

Mm? That’s it? At least listen to my explanation seriously!

“Lord Leon, can you please get off me?”

Leon realized his explanation was a bit weak because his legs had been weak just now, and he had fallen onto Miss Witch’s delicate body.

He rolled over and lay down beside Sophie.

【Entry Points +1000】

【Entry Shop Opened】

New Entry—

【One-Star Knight】(Green) You have firmly embarked on the path of a knight. Constitution +5, Swordsmanship +5, Speed +5, Strength +5.

Exchange Points: 1000.

【Fraud Master】(Green) You possess excellent eloquence and can persuade others to pay for your ideas. The probability of being caught while running away with funds is reduced by 10%.

Exchange Points: 1000.

【One-Star Assassin】(Green) You have firmly embarked on the path of an assassin. Constitution +2, Assassination Technique +8, Speed +8, Strength +2.

Exchange Points: 1000.

The sudden notification sound in his ear invigorated Leon’s dispirited state.

The torment he had just endured was not in vain after all!

Considering that the 【Entry Cleanup】 ability was directly proportional to physical constitution, he decisively chose the 【One-Star Knight】 for a balanced warrior.

The 【Assassin】, which was too specialized, could be considered for exchange next time if he had enough points.

As for the second entry, Leon felt it was likely just there for show.

He was a genuinely good person with upright values. When had he ever defrauded anyone?

Leon completed the exchange and immediately felt the relief from his weakened state.

Perhaps it was because of the increase in constitution, he felt like he was strong again.

Another Miss Witch wouldn’t be a problem either.

Mm, perhaps not.

In a short time, Leon didn’t want to experience that pain again.

【Obtained new entry One-Star Knight】

【Current Constitution 6 (1+5), Swordsmanship 5 (0+5), Speed 6 (1+5), Strength 6 (1+5)】

【You have embarked on the path of a knight, becoming a novice knight. You can barely defeat a squad of soft-armored guards numbering less than 10. If there are more than 10, you might consider fleeing.】

“Thank you, Lord Leon.”

Sophie’s eyes were slightly red. This was the joy of being reborn.

“I swear allegiance to you. From now on, I am your sharp blade, willing to point wherever you direct.”

Sophie wanted to kneel and swear, but her legs were weak, so she could only remain lying down.

“Sophie, remember to keep this a secret for me. This cannot be told to anyone.”

“Alright.”

Leon noticed that Sophie’s entry description had changed.

Not only had the 【On the Verge of Losing Control】 entry disappeared, but a new entry, 【Unwavering Loyalty】, had been added.

【Unwavering Loyalty】Absolutely loyal to you from now on, never betraying you.

When Anna and Annie entered the conference room with food, they just happened to see the scene of the two lying on the ground.

Coupled with the heavy breathing and their sweaty, disheveled appearance, it was hard not to think something else had happened.

“My Lord, are we here at a bad time?”

The considerate Anna asked.

“No, you’re here at the perfect time. I desperately need to replenish my energy.”

Leon helped Sophie stand up. His legs were still trembling a little.

“Sophie, let’s eat together.”

Sophie nodded slightly.

Anna and Annie exchanged glances.

They had been undercover in the Lord’s Mansion for many years and had never seen the Ice Witch Sophie dine with anyone else.

Could it be that she was conquered within this half hour?

Amidst the surprise of the two maids, Leon and Sophie enjoyed a hearty dinner together.

After the meal, Sophie picked up the collar, bracelets, and foot chains that had fallen on the ground, intending to put them back on.

“Sophie, what are you doing?”

Leon asked.

“I…”

Sophie hesitated, stopping mid-sentence.

Leon understood that she wanted to keep his secret, so she was continuing to wear these things as a disguise.

“You don’t need to wear these anymore. You having the 【On the Verge of Losing Control】 entry was just a lie fabricated by you and my father. Now you don’t need this lie anymore. You won’t lose control in the short term, right?”

Since Moria made him take on this big mess of Green Shade Territory, it wouldn’t hurt to make him take on a small one, right?

Presumably, his esteemed father had already fled Green Shade Territory and gone to seek refuge with other relatives. He wouldn’t get news from here anytime soon. Even if he did know, he wouldn’t dare to run back to confirm.

It was likely that quite a few people wanted to assassinate him.

“Yes.”

Sophie put down the bracelets and foot chains, holding the collar. She hesitated for a second, but still placed it around her neck.

“Not the collar either.”

Leon said, “You are my partner, not my slave.”

Anna and Annie’s eyes lit up slightly, pondering these words.

“This doesn’t comply with regulations.”

Sophie said, but still put on the collar.

She trusted Leon.

“Lord Leon, even if you are not afraid, others will be afraid. If the Ice Witch Sophie does not wear the special collar, her appearance anywhere will cause panic.”

Anna reminded him.

“Unless you want to hide her in your bedroom forever.”

Annie added.

Leon narrowed his eyes, looking at the two identical maids who were speaking in unison.

“You two aren’t imagining something strange, are you?”
