Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina (魔女の旅々)

The Everyday Tale of Every Ashen Witch

Let me tell you about myself.

I am a witch and a traveler.

My journey was a series of meetings and farewells,

and at the same time, it was a series of choices.

I made many choices that I couldn't backtrack on,

and that has brought me to where I am today.

"The Country That Makes Your Wishes Come True"?

I want to be super rich. I want to be super rich. I want to be super rich--

This is...

What is the meaning of this?

This is not what I wished for...

That's Mirarosé's...

Please don't move!

Are you a safe me? Or an evil me?

What do you mean "an evil me"?

Why are there two of me, anyway?

How much did those glasses cost?

Um, who are you?

The Ashen Witch, Elaina.

I'm the Ashen Witch, Elaina, too...

Yeah, it looks like it.

It wasn't my wish to meet another me, though...

It wasn't ours, either.

"Ours"? How many me's are there?

I don't know how many there are in total, but there are 15 of us here.

Fifteen?!

--Tee-hee! --Oh, how nice.

Oh... I want to die...

I can guess where everyone's hidden their money...

It's not like there's any hope.

Everyone, be quiet.

Let me introduce you. This is the 16th me.

Um, hello.

Oh! You're cosplaying me, too!

I don't really get doing it without permission, though!

I'm gonna charge you a usage fee.

Ten billion gold coins!

She gets excited about money,

so she's not the "Ash" Witch, she's Excited Me, the "Cash" Witch, Elaina.

The Cash Witch...

Whoo! Nice to meet ya!

The one over there is the dumb me.

Hi, me number 16!

Oh, no one's there.

Nice to meet you. Tee-hee!

Whoa!

Ouch! Tee-hee!

She seems less dumb and more like a klutz...

This is the me who loves girls.

Sixteen whole me's.

Oh, so many of me...

Am I in heaven?

Less like she likes girls, and more like she likes herself...

This one has a strange complex about the size of her breasts.

Oh? You're supposed to be the same as me,

but for some reason, your chest looks deflated compared to mine.

What's the matter? Have you been drinking your milk?

Please wait! My chest--

So pointless...

That me is kind of moody.

Oh, my chest...

What're you looking at, bastard?

You wanna fight? Wanna fight? Huh?

Next to her is the greedy me.

If I take the money from all the me's here, then I'll be super rich...

Sounds like the usual me...

This is the cringey me.

The black dragon thing imprisoned in my eye is trying to attack all of you--

Get away from me!

This is the love-struck maiden me.

Saya...

Saya, Saya...

Why Saya?

The one hiding over there is me with a deep darkness in my heart.

I want to die.

What happened?

And there's me with a deep darkness in my heart, number two.

I hate this... The outside is scary...

Why are you traveling then?

And me with a deep darkness in my heart, number three.

I can't take it anymore...

All the me's here should just die...

I have too many deep darknesses.

Over there is the me with a foreign affectation.

Khorosho.

Is this a show?

This is the gelatinous me.

That's not even human anymore.

This is the me that turned into a ghoul.

Why?

And I am the intellectual me.

You think highly of yourself, huh?

It's the truth. And--

I'd like to call you something, too.

Everyone, any ideas?

What traits does the sixteenth me have?

None! Tee-hee.

My cosplay! One hundred billion gold coins!

She's got no personality.

No personality and no boobs.

No eyepatch or bandages...

No money.

Oh, 16 me's...

Wherefore art thou Saya...?

I want to die...

Me, too...

Rest in peace...

Khorosho.

I see, I see. Thank you very much.

That was a big help.

What kind of help could that have been...?

And so, I'd like to call you "Protagonist Me."

What do you think?

What train of thought led you to that incomprehensible name?

I tried turning your weakness of having no personality into a strength.

I'm not happy to be told I have no personality, though.

Don't worry about it, No Personality.

It means you can become anything, you know?

It's perfect for a protagonist, No Personality.

So, why are we all holed up in this place?

In this country, there's one evil me mixed in with the rest.

She's violent and attacks every time she meets another me.

Oh?

She's a violent me, so we call her Violent Me.

Just like her description, huh?

So you're holed up here to run away from that violent me?

But Violent Me is also me, isn't she?

If you fought normally, you'd at least get a draw, right?

Protagonist Me, please think about it carefully.

If the opponent is also me, then that means I'd have to hurt myself.

Can you imagine what would happen if she died?

Hmm... I can't.

We can't either!

Since we don't know, there's nothing we can do,

so that's why we're gathered here to talk about it. Hah!

And so, what do you think we should do?

I don't know what to do, either...

What are you saying?

You're Protagonist Me, right?

At a time like this, we need the protagonist to take the helm.

By the way, my role is that of an adviser who assists the protagonist.

So, you led everyone to call me Protagonist Me so you could use me?

What a schemer. As expected of me.

If that's how you feel, then...

Now, all the me's other than me should go investigate the town.

I'll stay here and wait for all the me's to come back.

What're you saying, you little--

The protagonist should step down! Step down!

Oh, I'm so dignified...

Is your brain smaller than a flea?

You're lower than boobs!

How much will you give me?

My right hand is about to go wild.

Saya...

I want to go to heaven...

I want to go... back inside my mother...

The messenger of hell isn't coming for me...

You said it!

What? You're the ones who put me up on a pedestal as the protagonist.

Jeez, I'm so selfish. In that case, tell me--

Oh, no! Ghoul Me died!

It's really grotesque!

It was definitely an instant death.

Gel Me has also been crushed and is in a gelatinous state!

Oh, they're alive. Damn it...

I'm glad they're okay...

You people were gathered here, huh?

This is perfect.

Don't tell me that me is...

Yes, Violent Me.

I will dispose of every single last me.
