The beautiful meeting between a witch and a knight.

Alaster: Ughh...

Edna: Woah! He wakes up!

Alaster: This demon...the village.

Edna: Rest assured... Everything is fine now.

Alaster: And that flame witch... I have to find and kill her too.

Edna: Wait... What?!

Alaster: Oh sorry, I was rude. Thank you for bringing me to your home.

Alaster: Were you watching me fight that demon? That giant fireball that that witch threw... If such a powerful witch becomes a demon... This world might just...

Edna:!!!!!

He noticed the situation getting complicated and whispered to Edna.

Villager: *Whispers* Mam'zelle... Don't use your powers here...

Then he addressed the knight in these terms.

Villager: Say, Mr. Knight... Why do you want to kill her? She just saved you from this demon!

Alaster: Why?? But because it represents a huge threat to humanity!

Alaster: Witches are nothing more and nothing less than demons disguised as humans! Sooner or later the demon that sleeps within them will awaken...

He was interrupted by Edna who responded abruptly.

Edna: But those you call witches are also humans! Not demons!

Edna: As long as their hearts do not sink into darkness, they will remain humans for the rest of their lives.

Alaster: What do you know!!!

Alaster: Succumbing to darkness is part of human nature. No one can escape it, no matter how much they resist...

The villager, surprised by the knight's response, said to himself.

Villager: (Wah, you're speaking from a pessimistic point of view... No wonder they don't get along with witches.)

Edna: ...

Edna was very angry, his way of thinking made her really frustrated. Annoyed, she caught the attention of the villager who asked her a question.

Villager: Huh?!! Mom, what are you doing...

Involuntarily, she let out her flame magic, capturing the knight's attention.

He then said to himself, in his heart of hearts,

Villager: (Whoa... She's pissed...)

Alaster: Flame magic?! You...Don't tell me...!!

Edna: I'm the witch you wanted to kill. After all the trouble I went through to save your life...

Edna: Is this how a member of the Royal Guard is supposed to return the favor?!

Alaster: Shut up, witch!!

*Alaster draws his sword*

Edna: Do you really want to fight?! With all this armor, I guarantee you a good grill...

Edna: What cooking will it be? On point? or maybe well cooked?!

Alaster: Hah! Try it a little!!

villagers: (This is bad! What am I going to do??)

*VLAN!!*

Alaster & Edna: Aaay!!! It hurts...!

villagers: Big sister! Thank God... But since when...?

Villager: One minute, Leo. I have a few words to say to our guests.

Villager: Can you two stop? I would like to keep my house tidy.

villager: If you want to fight, do it outside.

villager: But... If I were you, I wouldn't do that, knight.

Alaster: Huh?!

Villager: You see... If you sink into darkness and become a demon... She will destroy the village, kill everyone around...

Villager: In the end it will be your fault, not that of the Girl with the Flames here.

Villager: Do you really want to bear the responsibility... I mean, the shame of having caused such a calamity?

Villager: Not to mention that it would be life in prison if you returned to the capital after that.

Alaster: Well... That's... That might be true...

Alaster: How do you know all this? Who are you ?

Villager: Is it so hard to guess? I'm just a simple villager.

Alaster: *Sigh* Okay! I won't kill her tonight.

Edna: What, only tonight?!

Villager: Well, how about we have dinner together? It was a great day.

Villager: What do you say, knight, Daughter of Fire?

Edna: I'm Edna. And of course I accept, I will finally be able to eat something.

Edna: All this commotion has made me forget about my stomach.

Alaster: My name is Alaster. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Leo: Don't worry, Alaster. You can call me Léa, and this is my little brother, Léo.

Leo: Hello... I would like to thank you both for saving this village. So please don't fight...

Léa: Well, I'll make us something to eat. You can stay there while you wait.

Alaster: I will help you, Madame Léa. It would get awkward if I stayed there with this girl.

Alaster: And then I'm pretty confident in my culinary skills.

Léa: Thank you very much. And just call me Léa.

A few minutes later...

Edna: Aaaaaahh... It smells so good!! *drool*

Leo: That smell... It's not something big sister can do...

Léa: Indeed, in the end it was Alaster who did everything. I just had to watch him cook.

Edna: Really? Is he such a good cook?!

Edna: It's not poisoned, at least?

Alaster: Tch... We're all going to eat it, stupid. Of course it's not poisoned.

Léa: Come on, come on. Eat while it's hot.

Alaster: *Whispers* Léa, can I ask you a question?

Léa: Of course, go ahead.

Alaster: You two don't seem surprised or frightened by the presence of a witch.

Léa: Why should I?

Alaster: Why shouldn't you? Don't you know how dangerous they are?

Léa: Yet she saved this village. She saved me, she saved Leo too, and you too. She risked her life for this.

Léa: She has a purer heart than anyone. Is this what being dangerous is?

Alaster: ...

Léa: You can continue to watch her if you want. Apparently she travels, so she could probably use a companion.

Alaster: I would kill myself rather than become a witch's accomplice.

Léa: But you can't just let her go like that.

Alaster: Of course, he's a threat to humanity after all. I'll think about it tomorrow.

Edna: *Chows* *chews*

Léa: You have a good appetite, Edna.

Edna: Ch' is just so good. *chews*chews*

Alaster: This girl is seriously lacking in manners.

Léa: What a lovely dinner.

The evening thus ended, and the meeting between Edna and Alaster led them towards extraordinary adventures.
