Chapter 294: The Witch and The Ash-Covered Bride (4)
Surprisingly, the Tin Knight’s head was not smashed into a U-shape.
It was too obvious that if the self-proclaimed mage suddenly started beating the heads of her companions with her staff, the cinder-covered girl would be terrified and frightened.
While Dorothea showed no mercy to those who were hostile, conversely, this meant that she maintained a certain line with neutral or friendly parties.
Especially, the more innocent the other party was, and the more they were a powerless ordinary person, the more her response tended to soften.
The cinder-covered girl was a case that perfectly fit these conditions.
Of course, this didn’t mean that Dorothea forgave the Tin Knight’s sarcasm. She just postponed the punishment.
Thinking it would look strange for four people to rush into a house with just one girl, Dorothea left her companions waiting outside and stepped into the building alone.
Contrary to the girl’s overall filthy appearance, the inside of the building was quite clean.
It was as if the girl had absorbed all the dirt inside the building.
Considering the essence of the act of cleaning, this might be a surprisingly accurate interpretation.
As Dorothea looked around various parts of the building, the girl spoke with a somewhat restless air, “Um, but will it take long to find that thing? I don’t know when my mother and sisters will return…”
Although she had let them in due to being overwhelmed by Dorothea’s presence, if other family members saw the current situation, it would be quite troublesome.
