00_ The Girl Who Wants to Die
"Did you know that witches really existed?"
Everyone laughed at the man's words, calling them nonsense, but everyone focused on what he was saying.
"No, really? Long ago, there was a child who lived in a cursed forest…"

"Juri... Are we okay like this?"
"Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden, Mori? On a day like today when you've made a fortune. What? You're not feeling guilty about committing a robbery like this now, are you?"
"No, I just... There are a lot of rumors going around these days about wizards and witches and stuff."
"Witch? There's no such thing. I don't care if you're a witch or a wizard, as long as you have money. The only thing I trust is this money."
"But...everyone who came to this house would get a strange disease and die."
"That story is from when that weird kid was still alive. Look at that kid lying around over there, where did he go..?"
"Oh, so that's what the rumors about me were saying?"
The boy they had clearly killed with their own hands was sitting at the desk, watching them, as if something was so delightful. Gazing into those sparkling eyes in the moonlit room, Juri felt her body stiffen, and as she collected the money, Juri clutched her heart in pain.
"Uh...uh"
""What are you doing? I have to run away and tell them. Witches are real."
Mori gets up and runs away at the sight of the boy whispering in his ear.
"It was definitely a witch... It was definitely a witch. I killed her with these hands, but she came back to life?"
"Mr. Morris, calm down. Witches don't exist!"
"No... no... they're definitely coming to kill me. They're definitely coming to kill me like Juri."
"What's going on?"
"Well... they said the witch appeared again yesterday."
"Save me... Save me... Please save me!!!"

"How was my story?"
"Hey, what is that?"
"What... was it that bad?"
While everyone was saying that witches don't exist, one man raised his hand.
"Then what happened to that witch?"
"They caught him and burned him at the stake."
"Then the witch died?"
"Of course! Even witches couldn't help but fight fire. Right?"
"Yeah... Even a witch couldn't help but burn."
{If you meet a witch, be sure to burn her at the stake}
