"Who cares about your affection!"
The witch burst out laughing, "Really, you think you're picking a bride or something? Choosy as you are, it's just shameless!"
"But you're the one who brought up the topic..." Ash muttered, looking down at Liss, who was still unconscious: "You heard her talking to me just now, didn't you?"
"Yes." The witch nodded, then crossed her legs and sat on the bed: "She's a child that's both pitiful and terrifying."
"Pitiful and terrifying, huh?"
"You could tell too, couldn't you?" the witch said calmly: "Her schemes are real, her amnesia is real, but her innocence is real too. She deliberately plays the part of being scheming yet obvious to adults, which is probably also a survival strategy, right? Compared to intuitively sharp kids or those who are not smart enough, a kid with her kind of street smarts who can be easily manipulated is more likely to be favored by adults."
