Miss Witch’s Devotion Has Gone… Twisted

"Isn't this progress moving a bit too fast..."

From the moment Loren met Veronica to the moment Veronica acknowledged Loren as her master, only an hour had passed. Loren was still a bit dazed.

"Too fast? I don't think so. From the moment I learned you were raising witches, I've admired you. I just never expected our meeting to be so coincidental."

Veronica pressed herself against Loren. She felt incredibly happy whenever she got close to him.

"Alright..."

Loren had grown accustomed to the witches' ways. Once they recognized someone, they would entrust everything to him.

Veronica held Loren's hand as they walked together down the street. Loren planned to first change his clothes, then earn some money, and finally grab a meal.

Throughout their walk, Veronica was extremely excited. Strolling down these familiar streets felt completely different now, so much so that she unconsciously began humming a tune:

"My meeting with you was so coincidental,

"Though I still cannot yet converse with you,

"With so much I want to say, how should I convey..."

The lyrics perfectly expressed Veronica's current feelings, and the song sounded very familiar to Loren.

Wasn't this Cecelia's song? Had it spread all the way to the Eastern Continent?

"Where did you learn this song?"

"From records. It's by Thorn Bird. She's from Uridia and is the hottest singer right now.

"You must be very familiar with her, right? After all, many of her songs were written by you, and a lot of them confess love. The one she loves is you too, isn't she?"

Thorn Bird was Cecelia's stage name, given by Loren.

And Veronica truly was familiar with Loren, even knowing about these matters. This was something Loren had done back when he first transmigrated and had to earn money to support Anna and Naclis.

Veronica knew even this, and naturally brought up Cecelia's feelings for Loren.

"Is that so?"

Loren thought it over. He roughly understood Cecelia's current situation.

Cecelia was definitely fine. Her identity as a witch hadn't been exposed; otherwise, the Church wouldn't have allowed people to listen to her songs.

And her songs were becoming increasingly popular, to the point where they had reached the Eastern Continent.

So, the number of people under her control had reached a terrifying figure.

After confirming that Cecelia was safe, Loren breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you have any money? Lend me some first. I need to buy some clothes."

"I'd love to say that what's mine is yours, but I really don't have any money...

"I usually just take what I need to eat and wear, like this..."

As they passed a vendor's stall, Veronica suddenly swiped an apple, wiped it on her clothes, and handed it to Loren.

"But I don't take much. Just enough so I won't starve. I only target the bigger shops, trying not to affect them too much.

"I only have a few sets of clothes. After I gave you this set to wear, I don't have any spares to change into..."

Veronica did all this brazenly, yet no one else seemed to notice her existence.

Her Arcane Ability was related to cognitive concealment. She lived here like an invisible person, without any interaction with anyone.

Loren guessed that this was how she had lived since childhood. She was long used to it.

"If you want clothes, I can go swipe one for you... There's a big clothing store just ahead..."

Veronica looked at Loren. The clothes of hers that he was wearing really didn't fit him well.

From Veronica's description, Loren could also guess why his chest area was so loose. It was probably stretched out by Veronica's figure.

"Forget it. I have a way to earn some money."

Loren looked around. They were in an inland area, relatively stable, with far fewer pirates. But Loren didn't spot any nobles.

In the end, Loren chose to casually lift a pirate's money pouch. Veronica was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected Loren to be more skilled at this than she was.

"Broke. Doesn't even have any gold."

Loren fished out a few coins from the pouch and tossed the pouch away. Most of them were coppers.

"About seven silvers in total... Damn broke..."

The coins spread out in Loren's hand. It had been a long time since he'd seen such small denominations.

"Whatever. It's enough for now. First, come with me to buy some clothes."

"Okay!"

Veronica excitedly followed behind Loren as they entered the mall.

Loren's choices were the same as before: a set of comfortable clothes and a black robe. That was enough for Loren. This time, however, he also bought a pair of underwear...

Just as Loren was changing in the changing room, Veronica followed him in.

"What are you doing in here?"

Loren had stripped halfway when Veronica stared straight at him, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Men and women have their boundaries..."

"But we've already seen each other, and besides, we're lovers..."

"Please, just go out for now..."

"Alright..."

Veronica looked a bit disappointed. Loren breathed a sigh of relief.

After changing, Loren looked at himself in the mirror. His hair had grown quite a bit during this time. It now covered more than just one eye. If he let his hair down, his entire face would be hidden.

In the end, Loren had to tie his hair into a ponytail, revealing both eyes, giving him a somewhat ancient feel.

After buying clothes, Loren planned to take Veronica to eat first. He hadn't forgotten that when he first woke up, he had snatched Veronica's meal away.

Loren remembered that Veronica had been eating some plain boiled vegetables with almost no seasoning. The food was so plain that even if it spilled on her clothes, she wouldn't need to wash them.

"Let's go..."

Loren took Veronica's hand and walked toward the inn.

At the same time, he unconsciously glanced at Veronica's chest. All he could say was that comparing people could really drive one mad.

Naclis was fed so well by Loren every day, yet she didn't grow at all. Veronica had been living so miserably, yet she had grown so much.

Sitting in the restaurant, Veronica was a bit nervous. It was her first time in a place like this. She gripped the corner of Loren's clothes, as if only that could give her some peace of mind.

Even though a lot of time had passed, there were probably still many people who remembered Loren. So, Loren used The Hermit card to blur his features slightly. Anyone who looked at him would forget soon after.

The tarot cards were still in the Unabandoned Casket. Loren could still use them normally.

After ordering, Loren sat down and summoned the Unabandoned Casket. It looked no different from when he had entrusted it to Mirrorheart.

Loren opened the Unabandoned Casket. All the cards were perfectly intact in their original places. However, there was one extra item in the box: a pair of stockings.

"Are these stockings? Why do you keep these?"

More importantly, Veronica, sitting beside him, had also seen the stockings inside the Unabandoned Casket.

These were the stockings that Mirrorheart and Loren had used, still bearing the marks of their war.

"Could you give these to me? You promised to repay me before, right? I only want these.

"I saw some noble ladies wearing them before. They looked really nice. I wanted them too, but they weren't a necessity, so I couldn't swipe them...

"Oh, and could you help me put them on? I don't know how..."

As she spoke, Veronica directly picked up the stockings, also touching the substance on them.
