Calm Delphi down.

"Wait, wait. She's the witch that worked with that elven mage you were talking about?" you ask.

"Hold on!" The witch frantically waves her hands in front of her. "I get it now. You're mistaking me for my other sister. She's a bit older than me, but not by as much. She was working with that dumb elf, trying to help him become a demon king. I don't do experiments on people. I just have fun. It's my sister that's into study and research. Snore!"

Eventually, Delphi begins to calm down. She takes a deep breath and looks more closely at the witch.

"Now that I think about it, she looked really similar, but yeah... You're not her," she says.

"You can apologize now if you want."

"I don't want."

"You scared me half to ****!"

"All right. All right. Calm down, guys." You bring up your hands between them before things get violent. "So who are you exactly then?"

She readjusts her pointed cap. "My name's Vivilia, the cute witch. But you can call me Vivi."

"What kind of title is that?" Niki retorts. "And how old even are you?"

Vivi crosses her arms and pouts. "There's no way I'm answering such a rude question. But I'll come with you to finally put my sister at rest. She's probably had enough fun out there anyway. And you're right on the money with the method, by the way. Eighteen maidens. Do you really have that many? Wait a minute... Is this that kind of house?"

"I don't have eighteen girls in my house," you reply. "But you are the eighteenth to agree. Hey Snow. Did you tell them at all when we would be going?"

Snow shakes her head. "I can work on that next, though. Now that we have enough people, we can set a date, and be on our way."

"Then we have a plan. I reckon in the next few days, we'll all be in the big city again. Nineteen of us total. So get your snacks and whatever clothes you want to wear, because I guess we're having a ghost-hunting beach party." You laugh.

At least we'll have a small army of people. There's no way I could be in any actual danger this time, even if the ghost is pretty tough. It's a surprise that Vivi is actually related to her too. Maybe this will end up being more like a vacation.
