Otaku Witch

Reality is indeed a bit different from games. If it were a game, Dorothy actually has played quite a few simulation management games, and she's pretty good at it.

But when she's really given such a large piece of territory in reality, she was instantly at a loss.

Oh my god, where's my territory overview table? When is the traveling merchant system going to launch? Where do I recruit talents? Why can't I see the NPCs' personal attributes? Where do I check my subordinates' loyalty?

......

The homebody witch realized deeply that not everyone can be a leader. Managing such a vast territory and making it run and develop smoothly is not an easy task.

Fortunately, she still has her versatile roommate. Just when Dorothy was flustered, Sophia stepped forward and helped her sort out most of the things.

Although in reality, there wouldn't be a system panel that clearly shows all kinds of data in real-time like in simulation games, it's alright— the Pure White Witch will compile various situations on Japan into a similar, fool-proof data sheet for Dorothy to see.

Sophia, that is Dorothy's personal management system.

However, the system also has its limits. Even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice. When the asset list shows that your balance is insufficient, the Pure White Witch can do very limited things.

Japan is actually not poor, in fact quite rich. The Chinese Clan members on the island are all filthy rich, but the wealthy ones are the Chinese Clan witches, which has nothing to do with the homebody witch.

Although she forcibly reclaimed those lands from the hands of the Chinese Clan through demolition, this ultimately wasn't a thorough land redistribution reform, just land allocation. The private assets that have already gone into the pockets of the Chinese Clan witches can't be fully extracted all at once.

Therefore, Dorothy had no choice but to come to Senior Mia, this key NPC, hoping to unlock the commercial system and earn some starting capital. Only when her influence on the island is stable-rooted, she can have the capital to contend with those two-faced Chinese Clan witches.

She roughly explained to Senior Mia what happened over these days.

Understanding her beloved's requirements, Senior Mia nodded knowingly.

"Financial roads? Little Fairy, no need to rush. As long as you have land and people, making money is pretty simple."

The Golden Princess smiled and reassured Dorothy.

She initially thought Little Fairy had some difficult problem for her to help with, turns out it was just wanting to make money—this is simple. Isn't making money as easy as having hands?

"Little Fairy, rest assured, since Japan has become the industry of the Witch's Home, as a member of the Witch's Home, I certainly won't sit idly by. As long as it's within my capability, I'll do my best to help."

Dorothy: "......"

Seeing Senior's bold posture, the poor and powerless homebody witch couldn't help but feel cold, but she couldn't find a good retort either, after all, the rich lady indeed has the right to say this.

Do you understand the Golden Rule? Just casually buying a lottery ticket and you can hit the jackpot, wandering around aimlessly can make you find money, you know?

"Please, Senior, teach me."

The homebody witch decisively bowed and requested guidance.

"The essence of business is trade, and the essence of trade is price difference dealings. Ultimately, it's simply having what others don't, possessing rare goods."

Senior Mia didn't beat around the bush and explained articulately.

"So, Little Fairy, do you know what's the most valuable thing on this Japan?"

The Golden Princess has a composed look as if she has everything under control.

"The most valuable thing?"

Dorothy froze, then closed her eyes and thought deeply.

The first thing she thought of was naturally the land on Japan, most of which already belongs to the Witch's Home. And what can you do with so much land? Naturally, farming.

She recalled the experience of just helping an old lady plant a few acres of land and felt that the specialty spiritual plants of Japan seem quite valuable.

Like the Fish Grass mentioned earlier, it's a local specialty of Japan, and this kind of spiritual plant doesn't exist outside. Fish Grass not only has delicious flesh but also is rich in energy, providing excellent nourishment for Magic Power growth for ordinary witches below the Great Witch.

Such good stuff should not worry about sales.

And besides those specialty spiritual plants, it seems the sword-forging technique of Japan is also quite impressive. Now the strongest swordsmith on the island, Ibuki Yuuki, is under her command, so selling swords seems like a good choice too, considered part of the arms business.

Speaking of Ibuki Yuuki, one has to mention Yoshiwara Flower District. The flesh trade there really makes money, but Dorothy finds it dirty. Even if she were to die poor, starve to death, or jump down from here to her death, she wouldn't want to make money this way.

Even if she doesn't want to engage in the flesh trade, she can still do the clothing business. The outfits of the Miss Oirans are pretty, and these Japan-style clothes might have a market in the Witch World.

And...

As Dorothy pondered, she realized that Japan is indeed a treasure island with many lucrative trades, but she couldn't think of what Senior Mia meant as the most profitable thing.

She felt that everything seemed capable of making money if done well, making it difficult to choose the most lucrative business.

Moreover, she felt that since Senior asked so specifically, the answer to this question surely wouldn't be so simple.
