Otaku Witch

Dorothy opened the temple door and walked out.

Outside the door, the divine witch and her apprentice had been waiting for quite a while.

"Lord, you're awake."

The moment the homebody witch came out, Amaterasu Life Kikyo approached.

And Dorothy looked at Miss Ghost Mask behind Miss Divine Witch. This little shrine maiden had completely recovered from her previous shock, without any concern about her unique background. She seemed rather optimistic.

"Lord Clown, I ask for your care in the future."

Amaterasu Mikoto Setsuna even approached the homebody witch with a wide smile and bowed deeply at ninety degrees, saying this.

Dorothy: "????"

The homebody witch was somewhat puzzled, not understanding what Miss Ghost Mask meant.

Although they did indeed have a superior-subordinate relationship, it wasn't the first day of work; did it require such solemnity?

Hmm, it seemed like an "please take care of me for the rest of my life" situation.

"Lord, I wish for Setsuna to follow and serve you in the future."

Miss Divine Witch said from the side.

And this was the reason for Miss Ghost Mask's happiness.

Yay, now she can finally leave this broken island legally, and can always stay by Lord Clown's side, receiving his guidance. The thought of these two happy things together made future life feel somewhat bubbly.

Dorothy: "????"

The homebody witch now truly had a head full of question marks.

Why is it Miss Ghost Mask, and not you, Miss Divine Witch, yourself?

This lady, actually compared to your apprentice, I...

Cough cough.....

The truth is, Dorothy really can't afford any attendants, and doesn't need them, as she can't even pay salaries properly.

As Amaterasu Life Kikyo clearly understood the difficulties of this New Holy One.

"Lord, this should have been me personally serving you, but after separating Setsuna, losing most of my soul, to maintain my existence, I chose to switch to the cultivation path of an Earth Immortal."

She first explained the reason for sending her apprentice.

The homebody witch was also stunned after hearing.

Earth Immortal, a special cultivation path of an immortal.

Simply put, it transforms one into a state similar to a mountain god or river god, hence ruling over the land.

Within their territory, an Earth Immortal possesses strength far superior to normal immortals, but similarly, they are confined to their territory. An Earth Immortal cannot leave their territory, and forcibly leaving would weaken them significantly.

"Is your Earth Immortal's territory this Japan?"

Dorothy recalled that the official lord of Japan is the shrine witch of Amaterasu Shrine, and she immediately understood.

To be frank, this isn't a good choice, as usually Earth Immortals choose territories—even if they can't find any Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, they must find some famous mountains and rivers. After all, the quality of an Earth Immortal's territory affects their power after becoming an Earth Immortal.

And this Japan...

Ugh, a broken place where even the Dragon Vein has been corrupted, offering no power boost, barely providing a place for survival, and if it weren't for her, Miss Divine Witch might have died from exhaustion after passing on her methods.

Miss Divine Witch nodded, acknowledging the inquiry.

"Although now with your support, Lord, I have the possibility of regaining freedom, I still need about fifty years to rebuild myself. During this time, let Setsuna replace me and serve you."

"Setsuna is a part of me, and when necessary, she can borrow my strength. Having her by your side puts my mind at ease."

Amaterasu Life Kikyo said thus.

And finishing these words, seeing the New Holy One before her enlightened yet still somewhat conflicted, Miss Divine Witch silently added weight.

"Setsuna, you must serve the Lord well in the future. If there is any neglect, I will not easily forgive you. If you have any material needs, you can tell me; everything on Japan island exists for serving the Lord."

She said thus.

"Yes, teacher, I will wholeheartedly serve the Lord."

And Amaterasu Mikoto Setsuna seriously nodded, assuring thus.

Dorothy: "......"

Ah, a beautiful employee bringing her own provisions to work, even providing salary benefits for the boss? This...

The homebody witch seemed unable to find reasons to refuse anymore, reluctantly nodding, then using alchemy to create a Witch's Home Guild employee card and handing it to the little shrine maiden.

"Alright, then Miss Setsuna, from now on, you're also a member of my Witch's Home Guild. Welcome to our big family, work hard, and our guild will soon thrive."

Dorothy skillfully drew a big picture.

And the young shrine maiden, hearing these words, indeed felt no hint of being deceived; on the contrary, she truly believed it and took pride in it. After all, this was the guild founded by the omnipotent Lord Clown, it must be very powerful, and having a young witch like herself join such a powerful guild was a great honor.

Hmm, arigatou gozaimasu.
