The corpse hit the ground with a heavy sound, and then the flames of the bonfire erupted, tens of thousands of coins clattered out again, forming the Demon Face, which stared wide-eyed at Shard and the young Witch:
"Look at you, you actually killed your own companion."
But it was not to criticize their actions:
"Actually, I can also retrieve the corpse; a corpse can be exchanged for coins too."
Miss Higgins raised her hand, and the boy's corpse self-ignited, burning into black charcoal in mere seconds:
"Although he wanted to murder me, I would not give his corpse to the demon. This is what distinguishes me, an elegant, noble, and perfect witch, from such a vile person."
However, she picked up the boy's remaining two coins. She intended to share one with Shard, but Shard waved his hand to refuse:
"Consider it compensation for his attempt to murder you."
Miss Higgins snorted, but didn't refuse.
