Living as an Unemployed in Another World - Chapter 139
139 – 5. Witch Moon (15)
5. Witch’s Moon – Nightmare (2)
As the skeleton in her arms shook her head unknowingly, she paused for a moment before adding an explanation.
“No, strictly speaking, it doesn’t mean you can’t use it. As long as you put the completed spell in a tool and carry it around, you can ‘write’ the spell at any time. But you will never be able to ‘make’ a spell.”
“…… Why?”
I stood in front of her and made a face that she never did, no, she never did. It is not a face that I can show to the person I respect, fear, and love. She stared at me with those red eyes and let out a purple sigh.
“Jin, poor child. What are the conditions necessary to ‘create’ a spell?”
“…… It is life, intelligence and knowledge.”
“Why?”
“Because only being alive can influence the world, only intelligence can build sorcery, and only knowledge can create spells.”
The phrase she had memorized hundreds or thousands of times flowed out of her mouth. A condition that literally allows you to ‘use’ magic, not the three components of voice, movement, and matter that ordinary wizards are commonly familiar with. She asked again.
“So, do you know which of those three things you lack?”
“… ….”
I couldn’t answer. I couldn’t answer. I sincerely thought that there was nothing lacking. A knowledge of spells, a terribly complex and vast knowledge that prides itself on having inherited almost everything from witches. My brain, which was originally treated as a treasure in the world, allowed me to learn all of it. I never doubted them. What the hell am I missing? Uncharacteristic of her, no, I clenched my fists as I looked at her expression, as if I had gone back to when I met her after a long time.
“It is life, Jin.”
“…… Yes?”
The witch was naked. It was a habit that could not be changed. Her naked body was sensual enough that any man, even a woman, could lust. But now, that beautiful figure was infinitely hated. The way she casually trampled my heart into a mess, put me back in the muddy water, and calmly showed off her own beauty…… It was disgusting.
“You are a being who has moved in a dimension with a special power. In other words, I do not belong to this world in the true sense. Their bodies, genes, and reproductive functions are very similar to humans in this world. Therefore, there is no problem in breeding and producing offspring. But…… It is ambiguous to see it as a ‘human species’.”
“Why?”
“Because, unlike your world, there are some additional ‘laws’ in this world. Beings born in this dimension from the beginning often use magic even if they don’t have to understand everything with their heads. You couldn’t, so I passed on almost all of my knowledge. Even so…….”

No. Do not say. I instantly felt the rushing blood in my head controlling my body. In an instant, I rushed toward the bed, and the skeleton tumbled across the floor. Unlike my body, which is getting more and more compact, my body is still so thin that it looks like it will explode if I squeeze it tightly. Among them, the most vulnerable neck was caught in my grasp.
“Jin…… Kuck.”
Was there such a great amount of violence inherent in me? No, no. She made me like this Her naked body collapsed onto the bed again. A woman is laid under the anger and desire that is about to explode. She had no intention of killing her. It wasn’t that her carotid artery was compressed in earnest. However, it will definitely be painful. Still, she coughed and continued her words. Without resistance.
“What are you talking about!!”
“Still, Coke, you don’t really believe in ‘magic’. I believed in its existence and confirmed it with my own two eyes, but I can never exercise its power because I think of you and this world separately. Got it?”
In an instant, her neck was freed from my grasp. It’s not about loosening up the power. An unknown, unknown force took my body in a huge grip and shook it in the air like a dish towel. Her fingers were broken, her brain smashed against her skull again and again, and she ended up falling miserably towards the floor.
It was just like that day. The day she picked me up in the rain. Just like that day, in her hazy mind, she squatted beside me and said:
“That’s why you can use magic tools. You can use completed spells because it is a ‘means’ you can rely on, but unless you change, you won’t be able to use magic in the future.”
That tickling voice echoes in my ears. There was no anger toward the man who tried to run over him. It’s a pity, just a sad voice. That boundless sympathy drove me infinitely mad.
“Remember, Jin. In order to change the world, first think of where you are standing.”
I finally passed out from the shock of the fall, just like that day, and when I came to my senses, I was still lying on the floor in the middle of the witch’s room.
My finger got better before I knew it. She also did not appear to have disappeared anywhere.
I was alone again.

While walking down the hallway, I looked back. The skull with a blue glow in the open eye socket stopped in the air.
“…… Don’t follow me.”
I said firmly and started walking down the hallway again. It was a quicker pace than before, but the skeleton followed closely behind me, swimming in the air casually.
“Don’t follow me. I have no time to play with you.”
“… ….”
I started walking again. Then, this time, there was no sign. I looked back with a suspicious mind, and the skeleton, which had been rolling on the floor as if the power had been turned off, rose again in the air and started chasing me at high speed.
“Don’t follow me!!”
“Purrule!”
I started running at all. I ran all over the wide mansion without a destination. However, the skeleton did not give up. On the way, I stopped chasing several times, and I fell weakly to the ground as if I had run out of spiritual energy.
“Go away!!”
“Purreuk!!”
“Go away!! This f*ck…… !”
I punched and kicked that large skull that ignored my words several times, but all I got back was pain from hitting a hard object. He probably thinks that all of this is just an extension of play, and that running away is also playing tag. It wasn’t even funny. Eventually, with all my breath, I pressed against the hallway wall and caught my breath.
“Haa…… Ha… ….”
I squatted down in the corner of the hallway holding on to my sore chest. Apart from the shortness of breath, his head was spinning. I covered my eyes with my hands and muttered helplessly.
“What the hell…… Come now.”
“Purreuk…… ?”
“After teaching for a year…… I blow so much wind that I can do it…… What are you saying now…… f*ck…….”
I couldn’t stop crying, so I shook my shoulders and sobbed miserably. The more her beautiful face shimmered before her eyes, the more my heart sank into hell.
“Khehehehe… ….”
This year, even if you ask yourself, I think I did my best. No, I am confident that no one can say that I was unfaithful.
But I never thought that I had no qualities or no talent. I lived as an irreplaceable genius in my world, and when I was with her she was the same. She praised my intellect, her disciple, as her teacher, and she instilled endless hope in her that one day she would become a great sorcerer and she would understand herself.
That’s why I’ve barely been able to get butter up until now. I spent a faithful but painful day. Without any rapport, I just mastered her theories, borrowed the power of items and went through the process of using magic, doubting myself that nothing had changed, but believing in that one ray of hope and working hard. .
Is that the only conclusion? One word saying that you are not originally a human in this world, and that you have no talent. That’s all? Does she know that that one word denied all of me up until now?
The person who had completely destroyed 16 years in the world, 1 year here, and the nation as a whole didn’t seem to care even as he said those words. As if you don’t know who you are to me. As if I was a mere inferior who didn’t need consideration.
She broke me. It tore everything to shreds in an instant. Her words mean that I will never be equal to her.
It means that I will continue to serve as a butler and live in this dark mansion for the rest of my life.
To a woman called a witch…… It means I can’t convey my sincerity.
Because I am only human.
“Kuhh…… hehehe, hehehe.”
I laughed and cried like a crazy person. Now that I think about it, she might not have given much thought to whether or not I could use magic.
A mysterious human from another world. A mere human who thinks he is smart. That kind of pet.
A mere existence that cooks amazing dishes, talks to you, and makes you feel like a teacher. Not a companion, but a mere entertainment that is fun to watch. From her point of view, who is omnipotent like a god, maybe I was just such a convenient existence.
I bit my teeth hard. I wanted to learn magic because of someone. I was clinging to unfulfilling studies because of someone. Because of who I am——.
“Sure.”
At that time, what caught my infinitely smaller existence was a strange skeleton with its jaw wide open.
“…… Why.”
I asked bluntly. At least for that moment, rather than the witch who left me without a word after I fainted, to that grotesque skeleton who endlessly pursued me even if he said no…… Oddly enough, it made me feel much better.
Unable to answer my question, the skeleton continued to pull the hem of my clothes with its teeth. It felt like a pony was playing tricks on the coachman, so I laughed with a messed up face.
“I have no energy. I’m not going to play tag.”
“Grrruk.”
“…… Do you really want to go for a walk?”
Does he understand me? I stood up helplessly as the skeleton told me. Then he took the lead and led me down the stairs. And…… The place he arrived was not in the outdoor yard or in the spacious lobby where he could run around, but in the witch’s laboratory where he had regained consciousness earlier.
“Why do you want to come back here… ….”
“Purrule.”
I resisted lightly, but the force of the bite was enough to drag a man like a real horse. I was hesitant to enter the room, fearing that there might be a witch in the room, but in desperation, I slightly closed my eyes and entered the room.
Contrary to what I was worried about, the laboratory was empty. Come to think of it, before I found this guy, I was here trying to find out what she had created as a result of her experiments. She didn’t even have time to ask because she ended her conversation with her that way…… When I reached that point, I suddenly thought that there must be a reason why she suddenly said that to me.
What if she did an experiment related to me, and the result told her something about her, something about her? At least it was clear that the trigger was in this room. I started searching through the unoccupied room, and soon noticed a dark flask on the shelf behind the jar, which I hadn’t seen before, and reached for it.
“This is…… ?”
