>And the vegetables Master makes are delicious.

>It takes time and effort, after all.
>Put the potatoes you picked into this sack(note)
>Time and effort?
>I don't use magic on this field. I grow everything by hand.

>But
>time and effort takes too long, Master.
>Why go through all the trouble when it's easier to just use magic?

p7
>How come you don't use magic?
>It's more convenient.
>Of course, using magic would makes things easier and get the job done faster,
>but I don't really like relying on magic too much, I guess.
>Its inconveniences come with its own benefits.

>Since times are peaceful now, there's plenty of time to be had...
>Besides, food tastes more delicious after you've moved your body around a lot and made yourself hungry, right?(note)
>Yeah Yeah
>I know that too!!
>Snacks taste really nice when I'm hungry!

>I've prepared some snacks for once we're done working. I'm sure they'll be delicious~
>Yay~!!

p8
>Yeah~
>Alright!! Let's make ourselves even hungrier!

>Master, should I harvest these too?
>Sure!
>Go ahead~
>What's this~?

>It's a carrot.

>...Why did you plant it again?

>I'm pretty bad with that kinda thing.
>Hrm~
>>Witch of the South
>Don't call me an old lady<3
>Howeh~
>Hmm

>Stuff like cakes or pies or herbal tea.
>Amazing! Your master's great at cooking too, Kuro!

p13
>Everyone's eating all kinds of different things~
>Ahaha
>Sounds like your owner sucks at cooking!
>She's only ever interested in books and magic, after all.

>But y'know...

>I'll take grilled mice and dried bats over stylish delicacies any day.
>Now that's the good stuff.
>Heh~

>My Sensei might be able to make that!!
>Your owner does attract a lot of mice and bats, after all~

>Some kind of grass soup
>Plain bread

>Mini carrots (raw)

p16
>Uguuu...
>You hate carrots to the point of crying, huh...

>I just hate carrots...
>At least try to eat one of them.

>Hrm...

>Sensei, do you have any edible plants?
>Plants?
>That medicinal plant over there is...

>...What are you doing?
>Quit playing with your food.

p17
>Kuro said...
>You know about parsley?
>Cooking becomes kinda fancy when you throw plants into the mix.
>That's what she taught me!
>Kuro knows everything!!
>Hah...

>...

>Sensei, is this fancy?
>...Probably.
>I think this is pretty different from parsley.

>Did you want to eat something fancy?
>Hmm....

>Doesn't matter~

>I don't think you can make stylish things, Sensei...
>How rude.
>You're spot on, though.

>End

p18
>I'll teach you how to make grilled mice, so let's go catch some~
>Yeah~

p19
>Eating habits

>...

>What have you been doing all this time, Melissa?
>Didn't you come here to borrow some books?

p20
>Have you gotten thinner again, Finn?
>Your arms seem skinnier...

>Have you been making food properly?
>...I have.

>You're eating a balance diet, right?
>Three meals a day?
>You always used to get skinnier when you forget to eat.
>I'll give you some veggies next time, so eat up!!
>What are you, my mom?

>What kind of food do you usually make?
>What kind of food...?

>Salt-grilled meat...
>Salt-simmered fish..
>and vegetables topped with salt.

p21
>It's all salt-flavored?
>That's too much salt content!!

>I add medicinal plants too
>in random amounts.
>Don't do it randomly!
>That's definitely not good for your body!!

>Surely Yoru-chan has a whole bunch of things she wants to eat, right?
>She's gonna get bored with salt flavor.
>Here's the books you were looking for.
>Thanks.

>I don't think she's that delicate...
>What about food that she doesn't like?

>Aah.
>The other day, she cried
>because the carrots were raw.
>Poor girl...
>She must really hate carrots...

p22
>Hah...
>...Alright, then lend me some cooking spells.
>I can handle it if I use magic.

>Hmm...
>Cooking with magic would be simple and convenient...
>but it'll just become the same menu with the same flavor.
>You just stop putting any thought into it...

>Let's try making something homemade!
>I'll teach you something nice and simple!

>If it's homemade, you can change the flavorings depending on the day or how you're feeling!
>It still amazes me that you never use magic even though you're a witch.
>I don't understand you.

>Manual labor will make your life worthwhile!
>Hah...

>Mouse hunting

>Kuro, is there a mouse there?
>Just you wait.

>I often caught mice in holes like these back when I was a black cat.
>I'll teach you how to make grilled mice once I've got one.
>Yep yep

>It'd be quicker if we asked Yoru's sensei, though.
>Mice love Sensei, after all~
>I'm sure she's great at catching them!!!

>But I wanna try catching one myself!!
>Switch with me, Kuro!!
>You never hunted for mice when you were a horned owl?
>I was a kid back when I was an owl, so I sucked at hunting!
>But I can do it now!
>You're still a kid, aren't you?

>Hah

p25
>I found something...!
>Alright! Give it a yank!!

>There!!

>Eep...!!
>It's a snake.

>Yoru...! Throw that thing away right now...!
>Why?
>Stop pulling me~
>I really hate snakes!

>This snake seems to like you, Yoru.
>Hey. Long time no see!
>Ah.
>This is the snake that came to Sensei's house the other day!
>I can smell Sensei's magic on him.

>I'll help you catch mice too.
>Kuro! This snake says he'll help us catch the mice!
>No friggin' way!!
>Get that thing away from me!!

>Hey, it's fine~
>Get along~

p27
>Dinner with Sensei 2

>Sensei, I'm home~!!

>I had a really busy day today!!

>We chased after a mouse so that Kuro could tell me how to cook it...
>but it was really quick and nimble
>and I fell over a lot...

>I should've asked you to catch mice for us, Sensei!!
>Where are you, Sensei!?

p28
>Cooking with mice...?

>Sensei... Something's different about you.
>Did you cut your hair?
>It's clearly this getup, isn't it?
>Y'know. The ridiculous apron.
>I think you look good in weird getups too, Sensei.
>Thank you for your consideration.

p29
>I borrowed this apron from Melissa.
>Hmm...

>Something smells nice...
>Dinner's ready.

>Here.

>Fancy...
>It's fancy food!!!
>Wah
>There's even a leaf on top!!!
>It's meat pie.

p30
>Amazing... This is...
>Awawa...
>What they call a "feast"...

>But why the occasion...?
>Could today perhaps be my birthday...?
>Huh?
>Eh?
>No.
>Today's just a typical day.
>Why are you suddenly speaking politely...?

>Can I eat it?
>Go ahead. Dig in.

p31
>Yummy!!

>I can taste all kinds of flavors! Not just salt!
>It tastes yummy!
>YHep.

>!

>Ooh...
>Something this delicious was made with carrots...!?

>Fwenfey... Dij you casht mahig?!
>Mmg mmg
>It's all over your face.
>It's homemade.

>Homemade, huh...
>It's just like magic!

>But...
>making a feast like this every day would kill you, right, Sensei?
>Would once in a while be fine?
>I like the usual salt flavor too!!
>That would be a big help.

>End

p33
>I'm gonna make you grilled mice tonight, Sensei!
>So go catch some mice for us.
>?!

p34
>The forms of the familiars

>Hey, Yoru~

>You've got wings, right?
>Can you fly with them?

>I can't fly!
>But I flew a lot when I was a horned owl!
>It was fun~
>So why do you have wings?
>Aren't they in the way?

>Erm, Sensei was all like...
>It's better to have a little fluffiness left over...
>That's what she said.
>Your owner sure is a weirdo.
>What does she mean by "fluffiness"?
>Hey now.

p35
>How "humanised" familars are allowed to appear
>varies depending on the witch who owns them.

>You still have your cat ears after all, Kuroe.
>I guess.
>Yeah yeaj

>I didn't need my tail, though.
>It's a pain when putting on clothes.
>Yeah~
>It gets dust and trash all over it.
>Brushing it out is a pain.
>Eh~
>Tails are so cool!!
>I'm jealous~!!

>I'm gonna ask Sensei if she can give me a tail too~
>Uhihi
>I wouldn't if I were you.
>She'll just make you fluffier.

p36
>Good night, Sensei~
>Yeah.

>That night, Yoru had a dream about flying in the big blue sky.
>Wah~

>...

>Her wings tickle when they move...
>but their fluffiness is...
>pretty nice...

>Her terrible sleeping posture on the other hand is a problem...
