Editing Failing Witch:Volume2 Episode1 (section)

===Part 14===

Melehe Superlative stood on a flat building rooftop far across the city that night.

The silver-haired, brown-skinned prep school ace sighed in exasperation while using a small collapsible telescope in true sky pirate fashion.

“Honestly, that pervert is supposed to be Viocia’s tutor, so why does he keep giving her more rivals?”

“Heh heh. You say that, but I notice you were all ready to rush in at a moment’s notice, my cute Melehe.”

“Shut up,” said Melehe, blushing and lightly punching the Formula Broom floating next to her.

Someone else was smiling sweetly on her other side.

The beautiful woman wore a dress like a fancy chocolate cake along with an apron and a hat.

She ran a small used bookstore, but she was also the powerful supreme commander of Private Striga, the largest coven in the region of ice and snow.

The name Spanish Fly Indulgence Bank had sounded familiar to her and she had finally recalled it was the crooked money lending service she had once destroyed in mere seconds when she got drunk and let the maenads take over. As supreme commander, she had planned to ''personally take care of'' this remnant that had escaped her, but…

“Tch. Looks like I’m not needed. And I was really hoping to go all out and get some real exercise for once.”

“Mom, you’re one of the Limit Breakers and you boast the highest score in the history of the coven, so if you went ‘all out’, they would have to redraw the maps around here, so please don’t.”

Melehe held a hand to her forehead to try and stave off a headache.

She wished Formula Broom – Greek Theatre would keep a tighter leash on her mother, but apparently the woman had that broom under her complete control.

A dry rustling sound came from Melehe.

“What’s this, Melehe? Why do you have so many part-time job fliers? Short on money?”

“No, I’m fine there…”

“Heh heh,” laughed Melehe’s broom. “You insist at length everyone at the prep school is no more than a rival for you to defeat, but it takes a caring friend to collect help wanted ads from across the city, Melehe.”

“The young lady tries to hide it, but her kindness has always been plain to see,” added her mother’s broom.

<span style="font-size:150%">“Do I need to snap both of you over my knee?”</span>

Her mother laughed.

But not to make fun. She looked proud of what her daughter was doing.

And then…

The supreme commander, who was also a Maleficium graduate, placed a hand on her cheek and narrowed her eyes like she was staring at something bright.

“Yagoro was so cool, wasn’t he?”

“I-in what world? He’s nothing special…”

“I’m so glad you are in this city, Melehe. Having family around really is the best way to keep your self-control. Without you, I might have already devoured him myself☆”

“Bfff!?”
