Chapter Sixty One of the Witch Hat Atelier manga series.
Summary[edit | edit source]
Olruggio is performing as part of the procession and demonstrating his latest contraption, a Crystal Torch[unofficial name]. King Deanreldy and the Five Rulers are watching from a stand when Prince Eoleo helps bring Queen Zayamaiya up the stairs. Deanreldy greets her and says she didn't have to come all the way up there but Zayamaiya wanted to see the spells for herself.
As part of his performance, Olruggio throws small crystals into the crowd for people to catch and they observe that they have flames inside and come to the conclusion that they're only safe to handle because of the crystal covering the flame. Tetia and Richeh realize that Olruggio had to make the Phantasmal Fireball seem dangerous even when it isn't so people wouldn't forget about the danger of fire. Qifrey confirms their thoughts explaining how it allows people to know how to handle different types of fire while still giving people a safer alternative to an open flame.
From her platform, Coco is looking at the flags being held up for Olruggio's contraption and Agott yells at her through a Looking Glass to concentrate despite it not allowing for conversation. Coco begins her demonstration by pouring wastewater into a pot before throwing it over the crowd. Qifrey explains that Coco's contraption lets people purify water before they throw it away. Coco reasons to herself that since only one seal on the sewer grate is responsible for cleaning all the water, there's always a buildup of sludge, and that she thought that if everyone was able to take care of their own waste, then the Muckpool conditions would improve. Custas overlooks the procession and takes note of her contraption.
On the ground, Tartah is holding up a flag and is shocked to see that no one else is. The townspeople complain that it would be too much work to purify their water as well as still having to dump it out. Qifrey realizes that he forgot that non-witches aren't always thinking of others needs, only their own convenience. Coco trips and falls over on her platform and panics thinking about whether or not the King would still buy her contraption if it didn't get any flags. Agott suddenly joins her on the stage to everyone's surprise and pulls Coco to her feet. She tells her not to give up and offers her an idea.
On the outskirts of the town, the Illicit Contraption Seller is locked in a prison cell with the former Wise Engendale. He comments that it would be the perfect time to escape since all the guards are busy and laments not being able to cast magic. Engendale says that there are ways and that since his ring gemstone is made of hardened woodcruor, they can cast magic if they can get a hand out of the window.
