The original work is a short light novel by Shiraishi Jounari. In 2019, it was adapted into a manga with characters by Azuru, and an anime adaptation is scheduled to begin airing in October 2020. The main character, Elaina, is inspired by a book called "Nike's Adventures" and dreams of becoming a witch and traveling. After becoming a witch, Elaina visits various places and people during her journey, and each story is generally self-contained in one episode. Additionally, "Lilielle and the Land of Prayer," published by GA Bunko, is a sequel that continues the worldview of this work. In this article, we would like to introduce some famous quotes that will really touch your heart.
Elaina's Powerful Words to Saya
"When you're serious about accomplishing something, you're always alone."
This is what Elaina said to Saya, who was always relying on others. After her younger sister passed the witch apprentice promotion exam and returned home, Saya was left alone. She hid Elaina's brooch and tried to get Elaina to stay by her side. Elaina noticed that Saya had the brooch and waited for Saya to tell her, but when Saya never told her the truth, she began to lecture her. The decisions and actions in your life are yours to make, not others. If you rely on others, you will not have a strong will to accomplish anything. However, Elaina then added, "Even if you are alone, you are never lonely." This means that you will be doing it alone, but there will be people who will encourage and support you. When you are about to do something, why not remember these words and use them to motivate yourself?
Elaina's Words to the King
"Liars always keep a calm face."
These are the words Elaina said to the King, who was shocked to discover that his aide had lied to him. Elaina was earning a living pretending to be a fortune teller when he called her to tell the country's future. There, she exposed the misdeeds of the King's aide and led the country back to normal. While the aide had been lying to the King, Elaina was also lying about being a fortune teller, and the King was unaware of this. Someone who gets upset when they lie can't be a liar in the first place. They're liars precisely because they can lie with ease. You might even have someone around you who does this with ease...
What Fran Taught Elaina
"But you can't just keep putting up with it. If something bothers you, learn to fight back."
Elaina, having reached her limit with Fran's harsh treatment, bursts into tears. These are the words Fran spoke to her at that moment, and the first thing she taught as a master. Fran says that being patient is not a bad thing. However, patience is a state of putting up with things you don't like. A moderate amount of patience is necessary in life. However, if you continue to endure, you will eventually reach your limit and your heart will break. Once a heart is broken, it's not easy to repair it. To prevent this from happening, you must be honest with yourself and protect your heart.
The Ending of the Story
"Doing things for others is not always right."
This is the ending of an old tale in which a husband shows his bedridden wife every beautiful view he can find to cheer her up. The husband thought he would be able to see his wife's happy face, but when the wife saw the spectacular view, she longed for a view she would never see again, and began to force herself to go outside. Her husband repeatedly put her back to bed, and she began to feel disgusted with him for putting her back to bed... In the end, she lost her temper at her husband and passed away much earlier than she expected. There are sayings like "a small kindness can be a big help" and "a blessing in disguise." Being kind to others is a wonderful thing. But are you getting carried away with your own kindness? Is it really good for the other person? It may be important to think carefully before acting.
A Decision Made with Love in Mind
"Parting is sad. But as long as we live, we must overcome sadness."
Abel pushed his beloved lover, Nina, far away. Upon hearing this, Nina asked if he was okay with it. Of course, staying together was his number one priority. However, Abel decided to break up with her, thinking that he would rather Nina suffer because of his lack of future. If he had prioritized himself, he could have stayed by her side until the very end. However, Abel prioritized the other person. Partings come suddenly and in many different forms. However, you cannot live your life devastated by a breakup. This doesn't mean you should forget your partner, but overcoming that grief can make you stronger.
Witches and magic don't save people
"Don't think you're special."
After visiting many countries and people, Elaina felt overwhelmed by her own incompetence. These were the words Fran spoke to her. Witches are merely skilled at using magic, but witches and magic never save people. Fran taught her that even if they save someone, it's only a temporary help. Elaina believes that witches are great, and that by becoming one she will be able to help people, but in reality things don't go as smoothly as she hoped, and she becomes disgusted with herself. When Fran speaks to her, a weight is suddenly lifted from her shoulders, and she feels much more at ease. People who are more capable than others, who have big goals, and who are expected to do things by those around them often feel a sense of responsibility, thinking that they have to do it themselves. Of course, that is important, but before you get crushed by the pressure, it might be a good idea to tell yourself these words and take the weight off your shoulders.
