#Airisu: The Crow and the Witch
Not Easy For a Modern Witch (Airisu POV) Post 22
#Wss366 Dread[Edit orginal post place in wrong thread]
Overgrown brush obscured the vague tread. Trees had fallen across the path, which sometimes disappeared entirely. Fortunately, we soon emerged onto the well-used Mikaeri Zaka Trail.
I added a question to my list: “Why had she come all the way out here?” Look Back Ridge was behind the more popular Mount Tenran. For now, though, I contented myself with looking for snacks.
The moment I’d #dreaded arrived when we reached Sumika’s car, a dusty-rose Suzuki Alto. I landed on the roof; my feet skittering across the surface until I came to rest. The human part of me saw it was an older-model car with a dented driver’s side door. The crow part saw it as a sleeping monster, not clever but deadly.
Sumika opened the door and called, “Get in! We have a long drive ahead of us.”
“Nope, nada, never,” I squawked.
“You have to get in if we’re going home.”
“Contrariwise! You hop onto your broom, and we’ll fly there.”
The Alto’s door was a blur, banging shut. I took off for the trees before I even thought about it.
“No, look here, Crow-kun, I want to get home, and that is by car. I can’t ride a broomstick!”
“It’s ‘san,’ and my name is Airisu!”
“Okay, Airisu-san. Please get in. Witches don’t ride broomsticks in this country.”
“If anywhere,” she added with a mutter.
She opened the car door, reached into a pocket, and tossed some rice crackers onto the passenger seat. “There, get in!”
“Hey, what do you think I am? That wouldn’t even fool a pigeon or a field mouse.”
“Fine, Crow-san. Just stay here.”
With that, she climbed into the car.
“Wait, you wouldn’t leave me—Ackkk.”
“Want to bet!” she called out, reaching for the door.
I didn’t wait any longer, launching myself into the vehicle. After all, there were crackers to be eaten.
