I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 2: The Past of Grandma
Summary for those who forget the story:
Eva and Robert surrounded the market on the 60th floor of the Magic Tower. Eva bought some weird food and visited some shops. Then they found a strange shop on the side of the road. The shop had no visitors. They're inbound. The shopkeeper is one of the dark witches. Having the figure of a grandmother with a crooked nose. The grandmother invited Eva in and spoke with her four eyes. The grandmother said it would solve Eva's dark magic problem. Then foretells that Eva's luck will be very bad man, and gives Eva a love potion....

I firmly refused the grandmother's gift.
"I don't need it!" I said firmly.
"You must need that little girl. Take this in case. You can use it on the man you love" the grandmother insisted.
"I don't need it! And I don't have anyone I love!" I still refuse.
"Bring the little girl. I know your fate. At least this will reduce your misfortune" the granny was more adamant.
"But I really don't need it.." Eva replied lethargicly.
"You're going to need it" the granny said with a steady face.
Eva surrenders. "Alright." he accepted the potion and put it in the dimensional space.
Eh, no! It's dangerous stuff. What if her parents took her? What if it's mixed randomly with other stuff? How about contaminating the food I have stored inside?!
I'm not gonna let this thing ruin everything.
I stared at the potion bottle, made a decision, and put it in my dress pocket.
"Good, good, nice little girl" said the grandmother happily. "That thing will help you later"
"But I don't need it."
I'm starting to think about it. If I were the real Eva, maybe I'd take the potion quickly and give it to Denis. So that he falls in love with me.
Unfortunately, I'm not Eva in the novel. Right now I don't have any feelings of love towards the characters of this novel, including Denis.
Well, but this thing might come in handy later, maybe....
"Do you know the little girl's dark magic spell?" asked the grandmother to shift the subject.
I'm nodding. "Yes. I know some"
I explained the shadowy dark magic that I often use to hide myself.
"Is there any other magic?"
"Emmm.." I thought for a second. "I don't know the specific magic, but maybe teleportation?"
"There is no teleportation spell from the darkness element" the grandmother replied directly.
"Eh? Really true?" I'm a little surprised.
"But, this is exactly like teleportation magic"
I began to demonstrate the dimensional hole magic I had just learned. The ceiling of the room split open and a small dimensional hole formed above me.
"Stop!" the grandmother suddenly.
I immediately stopped my actions and PLUK!
the hole was immediately closed.
"Don't use that magic anymore, let alone in front of the crowd" the grandmother said seriously.
"Eh? Why grandma?" I'm a little scared.
Robert also told me not to use it. But what's wrong? It's teleportation magic, isn't it? With the principle we tear the dimension apart and then move elsewhere.
"It's just teleportation magic...."
"That's not a little girl's teleportation magic!" shouted the grandmother.
"Listen to me, don't use it. Where did you get the source of the magic?"
The grandmother frowned for a moment.
'How can the book be scattered and mixed among humans' the granny murmured. It just so happened that his murmur was rather loud and was heard by Eva.
"I'll warn you once more. Don't use it okay" said the grandmother.
Eyes squinting. "The magic is not teleportation magic but destruction magic."
"The dimensional hole formed was not a teleportation gate but a gate of darkness. The larger the gate made, the larger the area that will be swallowed in it. There was once a case, one of the dark magicians, wearing that magic, tore the sky with that magic and made an enormous magic hole. Then the magic hole swallowed almost the entire island. Leaves nothing. All the soil, plants, people are all absorbed into the hole and..."
I shuddered in horror at the grandmother's story.
"I definitely won't use it anymore" I replied quickly.
Then the grandmother began to bow her head. "You know why we, dark witches, are considered the source of evil?"
I'm shaking.
I really don't know. It is in everyone's mind. And they regarded the powerful dark wizard as a demon. But I don't know why.
"It's because of this magic" said the grandmother while making a sad face.
"There used to be a powerful dark wizard. He was busy experimenting and producing new magic. This cursed magic is what is produced. He was conducting a magic experiment near a village. And caused the entire village to disappear and part of the land from the island to disappear. Since then the dark witches are considered destroyers and criminals for causing death and almost causing the destruction of a country. Whereas before this, our degrees were the same as those of other elemental magicians, not ostracized like this"
Haa~ the granny sighed.
He closed his eyes sad. "My past is also sad you know. That's why I warned you carefully. Bad luck always accompanies us, the dark witches, especially the matter of love. I, who was young and beautiful at the time, fell in love with one of the famous witches. The witch was renowned as a powerful and highly respected witch. She is a water and light element magician, who is very adept at healing. We were in love at the time, but I was the only one who thought so. The man does not love me, he prefers a princess from a kingdom and becomes his fiancee. Finally, I was abandoned"
"...."
"That's just the beginning. Who ever thought that a lover would be an enemy? By the time the man married the royal princess, he was already a part of that kingdom. The kingdom is planning a program to eliminate all dark witches from the country. I, at that time, had to face the man I loved, and kill him on the spot" continued the grandmother with a creepy smile.
"I didn't mean to kill him. But I think it's appropriate for a traitor like him. But, something unexpected happened. Other kingdoms invaded that kingdom. The king was killed and the princess of the kingdom was also killed. I think it's a happy ending. The couple followed each other in death. I'm observing all the events. Find something small trying to survive in that war. 'That 'little thing' was the son of the man and the princess. Since a little guilt had already killed the man, I kept him alive, until he could support himself"
"So? What happened to the dark witches? Were they expelled? Was assassinated?"
"When the kingdom attacked us, other kingdoms attacked so that the kingdom fell. So why do we live in a ruined kingdom? so we all decided to live our own lives. Wandering to find a new place"
Haa~ the granny sighed again.
"Well little girl, I'll give you this" as soon as a pendant necklace pops out of empty air. "This pendant can keep the current where the dark elements in your body do not fall apart and collide with other elements"
"Then this book" a small book with a brown cover of animal skin appeared in the air. "I gave you a basic spellbook to strengthen your mana"
I accepted both of those things with pleasure. And put it neatly inside the dimensional space.
"Well little girl, you can go" said the grandmother. "Come back later"
"Good grandma, I'll definitely visit you later"
KAKKK! SISK! SISK!
Suddenly a small black crow flew towards the foot. The crow placed his foot on the grandmother's shoulder.
"What's Pito?" ask the grandmother.
"Sister kakaakk" the bird sounded.
Grandma raised her eyebrows "oh? Any guests?"
Then the grandmother walked to the door. I followed him, because I also wanted to leave that place.
CRYIETITE
The door opened and I saw a girl in a black dress bowing her head beside the door.
Eh? Why not a stranger? That silver gray hair, I've seen it before...
The girl raised her head and our eyes looked at each other.
I looked shocked. "Charlotte?"
