When I was caught by the villagers, I managed to clear up the misunderstanding.
And now I’m working hard on the farm.
I finally got a change of clothes and graduated from the slut style.
Amazingly, I evolved into a villager.
. . . . I’m sorry.
I lied to myself.
It’s more like a slave than a villager.
I was caught by them and was about to be pushed out to the kingdom (?).
It seems that there is a fortified city belonging to that kingdom about a half a day’s walk from the village.
If I am pushed out there, I will be killed as a witch in the end.
They threatened me with that.
“Th-that’s too much. . .!”
I can’t stand being killed by mistake.
I appealed to them in desperation.
“Hey, wait a minute! I’m not a witch! Listen to me!”
They didn’t believe me at first either.
However, as I appealed over and over again, they began to listen to me.
“I’m not a witch. . . I’m not a witch. . . Uuu. . . Please believe me. . . Ahhh. . .”
“. . . . Hey, Chief. Is this the witch of the demon kingdom?”
“. . . . Uh, hmm. . .”
Actually, it’s like this.
Even though the suspicion of being a witch had been cleared, I seemed to be quite suspicious to them.
A Supervisor was assigned.
Now under the guidance of that child, I am forced to engage in harsh agricultural work.
“Look, you! Work hard without taking a break!”
This child who rushes me with a whip of words is Corona.
She is the daughter of the village chief.
Her age seems to be the same as me or a little older.
But the villagers have western features, and on Earth westerners look a little older, Corona might be younger than I am.
“Don’t stop! We haven’t finished harvesting here!”
“Hey. . . Let me rest for a while.”
“You just took a rest, didn’t you! Come on, work, work!”
That said, I’m the only one who has been working for a while now.
This girl has done nothing.
I’m sure she’s pushing her work on me.
(I. . . I’m not a slave!)
Even if I think it, I don’t have the courage to say it.
I was poisoned in my heart.
The sun is setting.
Today’s farm work is finally over.
“Haa. . .I’m tired.”
I sit down.
This is more of a mental fatigue than a physical fatigue.
I should have been overworked, but for some reason my body wasn’t tired.
Could it have something to do with being a dragon?
“You’re pitiful, aren’t you.”
Corona let out a sigh.
I mean, what kind of attitude is that?
Even though you forced all your work on me and had a good time!
“You have nowhere to go if you look like that, right? Be grateful for being left in the village, and do your best to work, okay?”
That’s right.
I was curious about this appearance.
Should I ask her?
“By appearance, you mean this hair, right? Is black hair that rare?”
She stares at me blankly.
“. . . Don’t you even know that? You’re a fugitive slave who fled from the demon country, aren’t you? This village is around the border between the kingdom and the demon kingdom.”
Among the villagers, I was thought to be that kind of existence.
I mean what is the demon kingdom?
I’m not sure, but I’ll bite my tongue.
“I’ve only heard of the witch having black hair and black eyes. It’s famous. The cursed ‘Black Witch’ that rules the demon kingdom Oine, the enemy of the kingdom.”
Is there such a scary thing?
“. . .You’re really different, aren’t you?”
Corona looked at me with suspicion.
“No, no! I’m just. . .”
“Just. . . what?”
“I’m just. . . an office lady. . .”
“Huh? Don’t say things that I don’t understand.”
She frowned suspiciously.
Then stood up and brushed off her butt.
“Well, there’s no way you’re the witch, right? . . .Anyway, you. If you don’t want to be sent back to the demon country or pushed out to the kingdom, you’ll work hard from now on!”
Corona is leaving.
After seeing her off until I could no longer see her back, I let out a grand sigh.
Corona is a tsundere. I just know it. But I’m glad that Asahi is okay.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
