Translator: TransN Editor: TransN
Lightning and Maggie slowly descended from the sky and landed on the roof of the Witch Building .
A cold wind was howling, but after they entered the building and closed the door, they could only hear a slight whistling noise caused by the wind blowing through the crack between the door and its frame .
"Whew, my hair is all wet . " The pigeon shook off the snowflakes and began to transform back into a little girl . Her plumage swelled and then changed into ankle-length white hair . Her hair looked and felt very soft, but it would never get messed up in the wind . Now, it wrapped around the little girl, making her look like a cotton ball .
But since her hair was damp with the water from the snow, it looked bleak and was not as fluffy as usual .
"You'd better go to take a shower first, otherwise, you'll get a cold . " Lightning took off her goggles and looked outside . The weather during the Months of Demons was extremely unpredictable . Not long ago, it had been just a light snow, but now, it had turned into a snowstorm . She had to suspend her recovery training in such a heavy snow .
"Aren't you coming with me?" asked Maggie, surprised
"His Majesty told me that I should try my best to keep the wound dry and avoid unboiled water . Do you remember?" Lightning shrugged . "So I'll just wipe myself with warm water . Besides, this coat is waterproof . "
"I see . " Maggie smoothed away the hair from her face and grinned . "After my shower, I can scrub your back . Ashes enjoyed it very much . And I don't even need a towel!"
"Uh . . . how did you scrub her back without a towel?"
"Like this . " Maggie used her hands to grab some of her hair and made circular motions .
"No, thanks . " Lightning rolled her eyes . "If you use a towel, I'll think about it . Go to take a shower now, Maggie . "
"Oh!"
Maggie walked towards the castle with a basin balanced on her head . Lightning turned around and walked into her bedroom alone .
She locked the door and leaned against it .
She stretched out her right hand and found that she could not stop her fingers from trembling .
She smiled mirthlessly .
Every time she closed her eyes, she would see the demon charging towards her . Even after these last few days of training, this fear still followed her and it even seemed to take root in her heart . Lightning had never faced this kind of situation before .
When she was in front of Roland and her Exploration Group, she pretended that she was not affected by the small wound . Even Nightingale did not perceive anything wrong with her when she was discussing her injury with others . However, she could not lie to herself . She knew how miserable her current situation was .
As an ambitious explorer, she was afraid to let anyone see her being so weak . She was afraid that Maggie might notice something wrong with her, so she sent her to take a shower alone .
In the next moment, she gradually slid to the ground and buried her head in her knees .
Phyllis had told her that the Senior Demon might have just evoked a sense of fear in her by making eye contact with her like a Fearsome Demon would do to its opponent, but she did want to fool herself with such an excuse . It had happened long ago and a witch should be good at resisting this kind of emotional influence . Back then, Maggie had been there too, but she had not been affected by the Senior Demon at all .
Lightning could accept the fact that she was terrified .
After all, this was not the first time for her to fear something .
People were naturally afraid of the unknown . No person was omniscient, so no one could avoid fear .
