Chapter 58: A New Way Out

“So,” I started after entering the spiritual realm once more, “could you please tell me why I’m here?”

I wasn’t in the mood to play any more games, so I really wanted that major pain in the as—um, I mean, the first saint—to tell me what she wanted. There was no way she’d called me here just to tell me about her mom...was there? I wouldn’t have expected that from anyone else, but I couldn’t rule it out when it came to this girl—she was a true idiot. If that was all, I’d leave for real this time.

“Well... There are two reasons actually,” she said. “The first is that I wanted to warn you not to turn into the next witch. You’re so powerful that the world would be doomed. Though I suppose there’s no point worrying about that now...”

Same as Dias, huh?

I still couldn’t believe the first saint, of all people, hadn’t noticed I was a fake, but if I ignored that part, her fears were perfectly legitimate. As she’d just said, though, it wasn’t an actual issue—I wasn’t the saint, so I couldn’t turn into the witch, period. If anything, letting me—an outsider—kill the witch was for the best.

“The second thing I needed to share with you...is the way to end the cycle that started with my mother.”

“The way to end the cycle?” I repeated.

Only the saint could defeat the witch. If she did, though, she’d become the next witch. That cycle had repeated itself over and over again over the past thousand years. The only way to end it—as far as I knew about, at least—was to have someone else besides the saint kill the witch. Well, that’s what I’d believed until I saw Alfrea. I was finally noticing I’d overlooked something huge.

The first witch had locked up Alfrea while she was in a state of suspended animation, which had prompted the world to create another saint. We could simply do the same.

I’m so stupid. How did I not think of that?! It has to be the most overused cliché in the history of manga!

“I see... We could very well seal her. If we do that instead of killing her, her grudge won’t pass to the saint... It was always so simple...”

“Wait! Why are you beating me to the punch again?!”

Tears had welled up in Alfrea’s eyes—again—but I couldn’t be bothered with that. I was currently incredibly pissed off at myself for failing to figure out such an obvious solution.

That’s right... I just need to seal her. The hell with the cycle! If killing her transfers the grudge, there’s no reason to kill her! Damn, it was all so simple! What do you do when you shouldn’t do something? Any kid could answer that question: you don’t!

I could see why no one had thought of it before, though. First of all, I didn’t think anyone knew how to seal someone. Even if they did, magic didn’t work on the witch, so they wouldn’t think of trying it.
