The Witch's After Tea Party / The Witches's Evaluation Meeting

The Witch's After Tea Party / The Witches's Evaluation Meeting (魔女のアフターティーパーティー／魔女たちの反省会) is a Melonbooks shop exclusive limited edition short story that came with Tanpenshuu Volume 6. This was later adapted and included in the Re:Zero Ootsuka Shinichirou Art Works Re:BOX 2nd.

Summary
In the Castle of Dreams, Echidna talks to Minerva, Sekhmet, Carmilla, Typhon, and Daphne about her planned journey with Colette and Palmyra. Minerva is suspicious about Echidna's intentions with the two, and Sekhmet reaffirms the Witch of Wrath's thoughts, asking if Echidna has a fever. Daphne laughs about how it is unheard of for a Witch to drown because this almost happened to Omega until Colette saved her; however, Typhon corrects the Witch of Gluttony by pointing out how she drowned. Carmilla then gets the conversation back on track. As Echidna thinks about how weak the body of Omega is with an Artificial Od, she tells everyone that she had to shave off a few things in order to fit in the vessel. Sekhmet probes by asking the Witch of Greed about how the world might end if one of her flops goes out in the world again. She continues by sighing out how Echidna's favorite things would be endangered if the world was pushed to ending and professes that she's terrified of what would happen if the Witch of Greed lost interest in the world.

The Witch of Sloth becomes exhausted, causing Typhon to take care of her. Echidna tries to quell Sekhmet's worries, and after Carmilla questions it, Echidna says she got rid of her powers rather than her soul, though she still has the knowledge to regain them. She states this was why she accidentally burned a forest after leaving the Witch's Graveyard. However, she also asserts this isn't the case when she materializes her soul, but she wishes to not make use of it. Echidna's voice trails off, prompting the Witch of Pride to jump in, querying the former if there was someone she did not want to come across. Nobody spoke up afterwards, for all of the Witches knew this person was an enemy they had in common.

In travelling with Palmyra and Collete, Echidna believes she won't be standing out. Minerva asks Echidna when her powers will return; the latter says two or three years, and the former replies by giving her friend a deadline of two years. Daphne wonders where Echidna seeks to set off to. Echidna says they should leave Lugunica as many of the Witches met their ends there, yet Carmilla refutes and informs her that they all died in the Kingdom. Writing this off, Echidna believes Gusteko is out of the question, and between Vollachia and Kararagi, she chooses Kararagi since she helped found it. Subsequently, the Witches's tea party continued to take place for a while longer.
