Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 147 The Tiny Witch

"Orcs?"

Shin and Terran were surprised by the fact that Alira was indeed talking about pigs while referring to that.

It did take them a while to realize that, but they did in the end. However, that nowhere explained the fact about the size comparison which she had done.

Perhaps she had indeed made a mistake in comparing the size due to which Shin asked, "Are you sure that they were ten times bigger than the lady?"

She nodded her head vigorously after hearing that.

"Master, I think she is trying to trick us…", Terran walked closer to Shin and whispered this in his ears.

Shin looked at her sparkling eyes and realized that she wasn't trying to lie. She was definitely not tricking him or Terran.

There was just no way that such a beast who was nothing more than a baby could plot or trick him or Terran.

"Hmm…"

According to Alira, the height and size perfectly matched that of a normal Orc.

Not that Shin had ever encountered an Orc, but he roughly guessed its height.

Of course, Terran jumped and displayed an Orc's height perfectly right after Alira tried to do that.

With that, Shin confirmed that his imagination was on point.

'Interesting, the Orc is just 1.5 times bigger than an average human…'

'According to her description, there is no orc that is 10 times bigger than a human, that she encountered.' – Shin concluded.

"Then this only means that…", it was as if Shin was about to realize what Alira was trying to say.

Well, just before that, Terran intervened and said, "So you are blind!"

"That is the only meaning that we could get from this!"- he concluded as if he had found some great secret.

His chest seemed to be full of pride as soon as he said that.

Shin turned his head back towards him and with a weird expression, asked, "Really?"

To this, he didn't reply because he too knew that he sounded ridiculous.

"Sorry master…", and he ended up apologizing for his useless nonsense.

Whatever, Shin wasn't interested in that anyway. That was because he had almost figured out what the young cub was trying to say.

If the comparison that she explained was true, and at the same time if the size of the Orcs were the same, then it would make sense if the height of the witch was less!

"Don't tell me, the witch is ten times smaller than the Orcs?" – that was the only explanation that he could think of.

"Uh, Yes."

"That is one way to put it master!", Alira smiled when she said that.

"…"

Shin started to sweat profusely right after hearing that.

'Are you for real?'

'Doesn't that mean…'

When Shin closed his eyes, he could imagine the size of the Orcs. Though, for better understanding, he took the help of the system to compare himself with the Orcs.

With that, he would be able to compare the witch's height with himself.

'System, how big is a normal Orc when compared to me?'

'Ding'

[ A normal Orc would be five times taller than the host ]

'Wait…'

'Doesn't this essentially mean that she is half of my height…'

After understanding the comparison which the system made clear, he finally related himself with her height and size.

'Just how small is she?', he asked himself because being half as small as he was literally being as small as a small wolf pup or a newborn wolf pup or just a little bigger than them.

That was no bigger than the size of ten fists of an adult man!

'The heck!?'

That was so surprising because a witch being so small was way too weird.

"Is she really smaller than me?", he asked her.

She nodded her head and said, "Yes, she is even smaller than me!"

"…"

"But didn't you say that she was an old lady?", he asked.

She nodded her head vigorously again and said, "Yes, that's what she said when we first met!"

Of course, it was only now he realized that the cub, Alira, with whom he had been chatting freely, had never met a human.

"…"

'No wonder she failed to understand the actual meaning of a lady…', Shin had point-like eyes on his face because of the awkward realization.

But by asking her about that, he knew this much that the witch was a weird creature – different from what he had been imagining.

Or there might be something more to this.

"How does the witch look like?" – yes, this was a good question to ask at the moment.

"You want me to describe her features too master?", Alira asked.

"Yes."

"Umm…"

"She was smaller, shorter, and cuter than master and-"

The words hit him like an arrow because he already knew those. Though, the cuter thing hit him like a hammer because it was weird and sounded as if he was offended all of a sudden.

Whatever, it was finally confirmed that the witch was indeed way smaller than him.

But wasn't that weird?

Why would someone call such a creature – a witch?

While it didn't make sense to him initially, he then soon realized that it wasn't necessary for a witch to look like a human.

"Oh, then did she look like some particular creature?"

Shin wondered if she had some characters that resembled some creature or if she was a totally different race, to begin with.

Yes, witches and wizards were believed to be a totally different race. They had their own kingdom after all.

However, there were instances when other races would learn witchcraft from the real witches and would become one themselves.

After hearing about the short height, Shin wondered if it really was some species that he knew about.

"Master…"

"She kind of looks like you.", was what Alira said.

"Huh? Looks like me?"

This was surprising to hear.

"Do you mean to say that she looks particularly like me or does she even look like Terran?", he pointed towards Terran and asked that.

Alira looked at Terran and said, "Yes, her ears are like him…"

"But all other features and similar to you master.", she concluded with a smile.

Yes, now there was no doubt at all.

The creature to which Alira was referring was none other than a wolf pup which was quite astonishing for Shin.

He had never imagined for a witch to be a wolf, and that too a pup!

But why did she closely resembled Shin?

"She has the same white color as you master…"

"And her eyes are the same as yours." – she smiled and concluded again.

'Her eyes and color of her fur are the same as me?'

'Is she another white wolf pup?'

Tons of questions were on Shin's mind, to which he had almost no answers since he had never seen the witch for himself.

How could such a small witch, that had the form of a wolf, could prepare potions?

How could she even perform witchcraft?

He kept asking himself those questions and it just got much more confusing to him.

But oh well, he could figure all those things out after meeting the witch.

"Okay, so now-", and just when he was about to announce what he was going to do, a system notification popped up.

'Ding'

[ The system advises the host to stay at the same place for 00:01:00:00 ( 1 hour ) ]

"We will search for-"

He then heard the notification and read it.

The advice was weird, way too weird for now.

But Shin decided to go along with it. Why not listen to the system and wait for an hour?

It would definitely be for a good reason, so Shin decided to search for the witch after an hour.

Although he wanted to save time as much as he could, spending an hour was very little for him at the moment when he compared it with all the time he had wasted.

Also, he wasn't doing that on a whim at the moment.

"Wait…"

"Let's wait for an hour and recover properly.", Shin contradicted himself and said this immediately after he stated the earlier.

"Master…?", Terran looked at Shin with shock.

He wouldn't voluntarily waste time, Terran knew this much.

So there was some deep meaning to what he was doing – Terran assumed.

'I think the cub and I have been healed completely…'

'But does that mean master is still hurt?'

"…"

To be continued…
