Otaku Witch

Amaterasu Mikoto Setsuna tried hard to control her expression, making sure not to laugh too loud, and considered whether she should act all wistful in front of her teacher.

Amaterasu Life Kikyo nearly couldn't maintain her fairy-like demeanor; her fists clenched tightly in exasperation.

That brat really needs a good thumping every three days; otherwise, she'd tear the house down. This is infuriating.

But never mind, although she's a disciple, she's more like a part of me; both of us are Amaterasu, two sides of one soul, so there's no need to distinguish between us.

"Lord Clown, please take care of us in the future."

Seeing that her teacher somehow held back from hitting her, Miss Ghost Mask stood up, bowed deeply to her superior, and said happily.

"Alright then."

Dorothy didn't refuse, as they'd discussed this before, and she had already given the Little Shrine Maiden a Witch's Home employee card. She was currently the only architectural designer in the guild besides herself.

"Then, let me offer a farewell blessing dance to the Lord."

Seeing that the New Holy One agreed, aside from the Little Shrine Maiden being happy, Miss Divine Witch was also very pleased. She stood up and gracefully said.

The Kagura Dance is a compulsory course for Japanese Witches because Amaterasu Omikami, the main deity, loves song and dance. Miss Divine Witch had been lacking spiritual power before and dared not dance casually, but now, having replenished her magic, she could once again enjoy this pleasure.

Although the complete Amaterasu Kagura Dance is a technique of massacre, some deities have minor abilities like blessings and calamity dispelling.

Of course, these minor abilities are not much use to a Natural Saint; Dorothy watched purely for the beauty of the dance.

The dance moves were like those of a startled swan or a meandering dragon, so graceful and fluid.

So, after drinking a few more cups of tea and appreciating the farewell blessing Kagura dance performed by Miss Divine Witch, the Homebody Witch left satisfied with the Little Shrine Maiden.

Hmm, spending leisurely days at the shrine watching dances is quite pleasant, and Miss Divine Witch's dance was truly enchanting.

Anyway, watching this made Dorothy look forward to the upcoming trip to Venus City, the city of art, as the ladies' dance there must certainly be delightful as well.

........

When the two returned to the Yae Residence, Dorothy was delighted to find Aunt Yae and Spider Teacher at home, which filled her with joy.

"Aunt Yae... Sister, you two finally came back. I haven't seen you in ages, I missed you so much."

The Homebody Witch eagerly went up to them.

In response, the two adult witches had complex feelings, akin to middle-aged men being urged by their partners to fulfill obligations, trembling in fear.

Fortunately, Noelle Rose felt secretly happy that her good disciple wasn't clinging to her this time but rather focusing on her good friend.

Though avoiding one ordeal was good, this is my disciple, right? Yet she directly ignored me as her teacher and was so passionate with others....

Spider Teacher felt a whirl of emotions.

Hmm, it's like being a useless partner who can't meet their needs while watching a dissatisfied girlfriend openly snuggle up to someone else.

How awful, the pitiful one is me after all.

Ugh, dear Yae, take the hit for a while, my new course materials will be sorted in a few days, okay?

With such feelings, Spider Teacher thought to herself.

Of course, Dorothy wasn't the type of person to be fickle and unfaithful. After all, Spider Teacher hadn't become useless yet; she still held her teacher in great respect.

The reason she mainly stuck with Aunt Yae was purely that her teacher was at the school, and she could learn anytime. But after leaving Japan, it wouldn't be easy to find Aunt Miko again.

Even though distance isn't a problem for Spatial Witches, the issue is that they are really good at hiding. When a Spatial Witch wants to hide, they are really hard to catch.

So, since I'd finally caught her, I couldn't let her go. I had to extract every last drop.

So...

"No more, my dear niece, spare your Aunt, I'm too old for this, really can't take you young ones wreaking havoc like this."

After a round of forced additional lessons, the Blond Witch, who even taught out the most hidden of techniques, directly waved the white flag.

Honestly, she's taught all she could regarding Spatial Magic for now. The rest is stuff that takes time to understand, and she doesn't dare teach it randomly; she needs to prepare and organize it first to avoid misleading others.

"Let Aunt rest for a while. Once I'm ready, I'll make sure you're satisfied, alright?"

Yae Miko held her slightly overwhelmed head, begging like this.

She always preferred being called 'Sister' and didn't allow anyone to call her old, but now she willingly accepted being called 'Aunt'.

"Alright then."

Having learned to her heart's content, feeling her experience points in Spatial Magic had increased drastically again, Dorothy nodded with satisfaction.

Only then did she bring up the main topic.

"Sister Miko, Rose Teacher, I've finished the sketch design for the Fantasy Village Great Barrier. Could you please see if it meets your expectations?"

The Homebody Witch once again took out the Investiture of the Gods sketch and said so.

The snake and spider best friends took the blueprint, glanced at it.

Yae Miko: "...."

Noelle Rose: "......"

The two best friends exchanged glances and saw the shock and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Yae Miko: "Rose, did you understand it?"

Noelle Rose: "Understood a bit, half of the architectural part I could, and you?"

Yae Miko: "Coincidentally, I also understood a bit, about a quarter of the Qimen Dunjia part I got."

Noelle Rose: "And what about the remaining quarter?"

Yae Miko: "Yeah, it's your disciple, should you be asking me?"

Noelle Rose: "...."

The two friends fell silent.

It's really not their fault; after all, they each specialized in their respective fields, reaching the peaks as Peak Witches. They're not nearly omniscient sages, and the disciple handed in a Junior Sage's answer sheet.....

Oops, this truly touched their knowledge blind spot.

"Ahem, well, Dorothy, truth is, the Great Barrier isn't that urgent, we haven't even found the Dragon Veins yet?"

Spider Teacher coughed twice, trying to buy time. Indeed, the design relies on establishing the Japan Dragon Veins, but she and Yae haven't found them yet.

However, since you have been busy exploring these past few days, I have already located them, so when you leave Japan, it will be harder to find Aunt Miko again.

Even though distance isn't really an issue for a Spatial Witch, the problem is that a Spatial Witch is genuinely a master hider. When a Spatial Witch wants to hide from you, they're truly hard to catch.

So, since they're hard to catch, you can't let them go. You must squeeze every drop before you do.

So...

"I can't take it anymore, my dear niece, spare your Aunt... I'm getting old, and can't take these young people ruining me like this."

After a forced round of intense lessons, the Blond Witch, having even exhausted her deepest knowledge, raised the white flag.

Seriously, she taught all she could about Spatial Magic at this stage. The rest is complicated and she doesn't dare to teach it recklessly. She needs to organize it carefully first to avoid misleading her students.

"Let Aunt rest for a while, my dear. Aunt is getting too old for this, really can't keep up with you young folk wearing me out like this."

Yae Miko held up the white flag as she said this, admitting with some embarrassment.

She's always loved being called sister and never wanted to be called old, but now in front of the children, she finds it hard to keep up.

Can't help it, the victim is me this time.

....Auntie remained silent...
