Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

"That must be because Raby is performing really well," Hexia smiled involuntarily.

It seemed like she hadn't smiled this way in a long time; 'Deklabi' truly was a lovable little Angel.

When the two of them stood together, Hexia was slightly taller, but now as both were lying on the soft cushions on the floor, they looked quite similar.

Taking advantage of the midday closure time at the White Feather Church, the two of them decided to rest for a while.

The sound of the rain pitter-pattered as dozens of birds of paradise perched on the crossbeams overhead for a nap, while the two 16-year-old girls below entered a peaceful midday sleep.

In the following days, Hexia focused all her thoughts on the upcoming retest, and the matter of ascending ranks was temporarily pushed aside until 'Botis' sought her out.

"Phew, these days on the road have really been tiring," the senior sighed as soon as she returned to the shop.

"Where did Senior Botis go?"

"I took a trip to the Twilight Star Domain. There are many Withering Sequence Factions there, as well as quite a few prestigious schools."

"Ah, I see." Hexia knew deep down that it must be for her sake.

"But I did gain something; 'Dantalion,' this is the Withering Sequence job information I collected for your rank advance. There are 22 Sequence 3 jobs, 5 Sequence 4 jobs, all rated Rare or above, a few are even Perfect, but the difficulty is for you to determine—just choose the most suitable one," she said, tossing an information card to Hexia to insert into her personal terminal.

"As for Sequence 5 jobs and above, you'll have to work for those yourself. This is as far as I can help you." It wasn't that she couldn't find them, but she felt the Sequence 5 templates she found weren't good enough.

"Thank you, Senior."

"Don't thank me just yet, I do have a requirement, Dantalion~" the mature big sister with emerald curls said, wiggling her finger.

Seeing the familiar gesture, Hexia took a step back, fully aware that whenever Botis spoke in that tone, she was about to face some troublesome matter.

"Let me think, June, July... By the end of July, you should be familiar with a musical instrument and play a complete piece."

"Consider that a test I have set for you."

"I understand, Senior." Though there were requirements, Hexia was touched, knowing the other person had her best interests at heart.

"Ahem, don't look so serious. It's a lot of pressure for me too. Actually, you can just go through the motions." 'Botis,' usually so carefree, was used to having laid-back friends and felt somewhat uncomfortable with well-behaved and obedient kids like Hexia.

After thanking Botis, Hexia looked up curiously and asked.

"Senior, how did you know I have the Talent of a Songstress?" She didn't seem to have shown it before others.

"Well, I knew since that very first day." 'Botis' picked up a bell from the corner.

"This is a tool I customized for taming animals, not just anyone can use it~"

"So it has such an effect," Hexia covered her mouth with a light sigh, realizing how many details she understood about life.

"Maybe, Dantalion taking the route of cultivating Magical Beasts might also be a good fit," 'Botis' mumbled to herself while looking at the thriving poisonous creatures in the jungle.

"Dragon Girl Dantalion, or Maid Dantalion Miss commanding Magical Beasts, that's a bit long. The Songstress commanding myriad poisons, hmm, this title feels quite impactful..."

Listening to Botis preparing various aliases for her, Hexia carefully retreated.

Indeed, it's best not to disturb this Maid Senior for now.
