The Witch's After Tea Party / One Wild Night Part 2

The Witch's After Tea Party / One Wild Night Part 2 (魔女のアフターティーパーティー／One Wild Night 後編) is a side story featured in Monthly Comic Alive.

Summary
In the cold basement of the church lay the body of an old man whose head was split in two, and the one at the center of the chaos there was a young girl. She smiled with slight amusement and let out an evil cackle, as she said that a murderer among the group in the basement may be plotting to kill them all. Suddenly, Palmyra rebukes Omega's comment for being insensitive while hugging Colette, their other companion. She asks Omega if the man had really died, prompting the peach pink haired girl to voice how most humans die when their heads cracked open and that the deceased man was likely not one of them. Her eyes moved towards a figure standing near the corpse. It was Podoso, a guard from the town on the other side of the mountain and the only person who may have had a connection to the church's owner from what they had previously discussed. She asks Podoso if the man was Pastor Coatl, receives an affirmation from him, then voices that the man they thought was absent had been dead and beneath them in actuality.

A young woman with bronze brown hair and a pale face, Maqueena, addresses Omega as a half-devil, seizes her shoulder violently, and proceeds to question why she acted calm at someone's death and what her remark meant. The girl apologizes, noting that she should not have said what she did, but not before telling Maqueena to stop freaking out. A woman in black church vestments named Lysa intervenes by grabbing Maqueena's hand with considerable force. Lysa, an Itinerant Preacher, and Maqueena, a musician, were among a group of people who had visited a church to seek shelter from an ongoing blizzard. A travelling entertainer from the Multi-Arm Clan called Admonsah blocked the view of Pastor Coatl's corpse from Colette because she was a child. Behind him is Trellock, a peddler with ashen hair and a seemingly gentle disposition. The merchant expresses surprise at stumbling upon the body, but this causes Podoso to question the man's identity. Trellock reached the church just as Maqueena and Podoso had wandered away, making the guard wary of him.

Lysa interjects by saying they should do something about Pastor Coatl's body. Maqueena offers to get a sheet, and she takes one from behind Admonsah whilst pushing him out of the way. She covers the man's remains with it and shuts his eyes. Taking note of this, Omega alleges that people like Maqueena tend to sing about the dead's achievements and was not aware that she could feel respect for them. With teary eyes, Colette pleads the duo to cease their quarrelling in front of the deceased. Omega obliges to her request and articulates curiosity over a different subject. Palmyra inquires Omega on this, and the latter looks to Podoso, who stiffened at the her gaze. The Witch believed Podoso made an intriguing statement and knew more about the situation than he let on, so she raises a question about the extent of his awareness regarding it.

The day before everyone gathered at the church, an incident near the town Podoso worked at occurred. The purpose of his visit was to alert Pastor Coatl of it. Omega guesses the incident was a murder, and Trellock added that it was obvious after seeing the corpse. Nodding in agreement and covering his face with his hands, Podoso affirms their sentiment and divulges what happened to the victim: their corpse was in an appalling state, their face was unrecognizable, and all of their belongings had been plundered. Muttering, Omega thinks it is not enough. While consoling Colette, Palmyra glares at Omega and urges her to tell them. She declares that the circumstances between Coatl and the faceless traveler did not match up, and she queries Podoso if there had been any other recent murders. He proceeds to compliment Omega's observations and discloses that the pastor's murder was the eighth one in recent weeks.
