Editing Failing Witch:Volume3 Episode3 (section)

===Part 4===

Viocia knocked but received no response.

“Grandmaaa?”

She peeked inside the room (which was actually her own) and heard the gentle breathing of sleep. Tedaura appeared to be the type to sleep on her stomach with the pillow in her arms. She was still in only her underwear and without the covers over her.

She was the reason Viocia Modestlucky wanted to attend Maleficium.

Viocia wanted to fully heal her grandma’s bad back.

She wanted to create a new potion for that.

(What Olivia did was really cool, but it looks like not even that compress could fully heal her.)

Only she could help her beloved grandma.

“Ugh,” she groaned quietly.

Tedaura did not wake.

Viocia approached the bed, reached toward that young(-looking) lower back, and found the compress was room temperature. Was that right? Had its effectiveness run out?

“Um, these are the spare compresses, right?”

There were a few different types on the bedside table.

Since these were not products sold in stores, they weren’t labeled. Some had a red line and others had a blue line, which had to indicate two different types, but only Olivia would know what that meant.

“Hm.”

There were a few different compresses there, so Viocia picked one of each up and pressed her finger into the underside.

The red line one was a hot compress and the blue line one was a cold compress.

Red or blue? Viocia tilted her head.

(They both look the same to me, but Olivia wouldn’t have separated them unless it mattered.)

“I’ve heard old people will soothe their pain with moxibustion. And grandma loves the sauna and hot tea. So the red line one must be right! I need to heat her back!”

And an hour later…

“Gnyahhhhhhh!!!”

“?”

The very instant after Tedaura Sugar Modestlucky woke from her nap, she turned into a sea cucumber wriggling on the bed (with only a pair of panties to hide her body).

The living legend had true tears in her eyes.

“Wh-what happened wile I was asleep? Ahh, I-I can’t even roll over.”

Had the true idiot not been listening?

Swelling should not be heated.
