"Oh-ho~? That's a rather brave thing to say, especially while you're crawling at my feet! Well, if you want to die, we can settle this here and now..."
She grabbed her scythe and pointed it at the boy.
"Mistress! Stop, please— Aaaah!"
With the back of her right hand, Mistress slapped me so hard that I fell to the ground.
"Enlighten me on one thing. At what point did I invite you to take part in our conversation?"
"At… at no point… Mistress..."
"And what should you say now?"
"Sorry… Mistress."
"Good girl."
"You... you're horrible!"
"Oh~? Horrible, you say?"
"How can you treat your disciple like this? The others in the village are right! You should be exterminated!"
The boy grabbed the broom from my room and placed himself between Mistress and me.
"...And what do you plan to do with that stick, might I ask?"
"Punish you!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"
"What's so funny?!"
