Wandering Witch Light Novel Series by Jougi Shiraishi, Azure, 白石 定規

Once upon a time, there was a witch named Elaina, who set off on a journey across the world. Along the way, she would meet all kinds of people, from a country full of witches to a giant in love with his own muscles-but with each meeting, Elaina would become a small part of their story, and her own world would get a little bit bigger.

Another day, another country. As her broom carries her across the world, Elaina encounters characters ranging from a princess who fled her wedding, to a country whose king could tell no lies, to cat spirits that captivate humans! With such a wild and wondrous world to explore, how could anyone stay rooted in one place?

No two adventures are alike, and our young witch understands this better than most. She knows that for every happy ending, there is always a sad one-and some stories have no ending at all. But with experiences as varied as dream-demon encounters, magical wars, and stomping grapes, the life of a traveler promises one thing if nothing else-the journey is (almost) always worth it!

It's a wonder one witch can see so many fantastic places, yet never settle down. Then again, when your average encounter can include poisonous apples, meeting a spy, a rendezvous with a flying dragon, finding a sunken city, exploring an ice town, and more...you might find yourself reluctant to stay in one place, too.

Fresh encounters and warm reunions abound on the next leg of Elaina’s journey. In addition to travels involving a witch in a bird cage, a ruthless princess, a phantom thief, and a pinch of stardust, there have even been whispers of…love?

On this stretch of her leisurely journey, Elaina encounters a competitive broomstick prodigy, a bandit and their mother, a young politician and their wife, a woman who understands the feelings of tools, a sorcerer dedicated to medicine making, a cursed slave and a former mercenary, a succubus who has absolutely no luck with the opposite gender, a teacher and schoolgirl at a certain academy, and a woman who owns a bakery... moreOn this stretch of her leisurely journey, Elaina encounters a competitive broomstick prodigy, a bandit and their mother, a young politician and their wife, a woman who understands the feelings of tools, a sorcerer dedicated to medicine making, a cursed slave and a former mercenary, a succubus who has absolutely no luck with the opposite gender, a teacher and schoolgirl at a certain academy, and a woman who owns a bakery. Traveling here, there, and everywhere, Elaina spins yet another hilarious yarn. What new farewells await her this time? less

On this stretch of her journey, Elaina encounters an immortal witch, people who claim they’re from an advanced nation, an ink witch, a fake witch with a knack for sewing, a spy who hates coffee, and a pair of feline sisters who once served as knights but now work as baristas. Then, at long last, she crosses paths with the black-haired girl whose fate is entwined with her own. What sort of chapter will their meeting add to Elaina’s tale?

Elaina continues her journey around the world, and on this leg of her trip she'll come across a suspiciously laid-back woman with money on the brain, a young man who lost his will to live, an impossibly dandy gentleman, a troubled slaver and his ex, an undercover detective, a particularly fluffy witch, and a summer-loving witch with terrible communication skills! No doubt Elaina will find herself wrapped up in any and every misadventure that comes her way!
