Otaku Witch

Chapter 2016 - 1022: Entering the Inner Sanctum (Part 2)

If it weren’t for Senior Euphilia’s strong mediation back then, Noelle Rose didn’t think she would become friends with that guy full of cunning ideas. The two of them might have ended up as rivals or even enemies.

But now...

Looking at the Dragon Witch pressing forward, Noelle Rose inexplicably felt her heart beat faster.

After all, this domineering and majestic figure is really just like the former senior, but unlike the ambitious senior, the Spider Witch knows very well that her own apprentice’s true nature is quite similar to hers, just a lazy fish.

The reason she favors Dorothy so much as an apprentice isn’t just because of her talent; they really get along well, both love playing with puppets, both love building, and neither has big ambitions, just wants a good life. Most importantly, both are immensely talented and good-looking.

This also explains why she had even thought of nurturing such a wicked idea before.

This apprentice is just like her name, truly a treasure bestowed by deities, perfect and flawless, a perfect fit, practically an ideal type.

"Hmm?"

Just as Spider Witch was thinking this, she hadn’t started to get lost in thoughts when a pair of fierce eyes accompanied by familiar Dragon’s Might swept over, making her shiver.

Woo woo woo, okay okay, I know, Senior, don’t look at me like that, I’m just thinking, just thinking, I dare not move, totally don’t dare to move.

Noelle Rose quickly spun silk with magic power, weaving a white flag to shake at her protective senior who was glaring.

Sigh, this precious apprentice is great in every way, except her Evil Dragon mother is too watchful.

Darn it, Senior, prevention of fire, theft, and best friend’s ideas isn’t meant to be used like this.

This evil Spider Witch, having thoughts about her best friend’s daughter, felt aggrieved thinking this.

She really does love double standards.

Meanwhile, Dorothy was unaware of the invisible skirmishes between her mother and her teacher. The homebody witch just innocently thought maybe the stakes she offered weren’t enough to impress her teacher, so she decided to raise them.

"Teacher, actually I have a total of six of such wonder workshops, and they can combine into one, creating a super wonder workshop that surpasses wonders, this is what you always envisioned, and I’ve made it a reality."

The homebody witch whispered this to the teacher’s ear.

She hadn’t noticed the instant tremble of the Spider Witch’s body as she leaned over, nor the sudden blush of those crystalline earlobes.

Of course, Noelle Rose’s shy reaction only lasted a second, quickly captivated by the student’s words.

"What? You have not just one of such magnificent workshops, but six? And they can combine and transform?"

Spider Witch listened in amazement.

Come on, what architect or puppet master could resist the temptation of a super large building that can merge and transform? This is so cool, cooler than cats that can do backflips.

Can’t help it, Dorothy, you bad kid, you’ve indeed hit my weak spot.

The idea of a combinable super fortress was Noelle Rose’s longtime aspiration. The reason it’s been an aspiration instead of a reality is due to her financial constraints; even a century of personal savings couldn’t support such a grandiose super wonder project.

She had mentioned this idea casually while chatting and drawing visions with Dorothy before, initially just to show the apprentice how formidable she was, establishing the teacher’s prestige and enjoying the student’s admiration.

But Noelle Rose never imagined the apprentice would return after just a few months saying she had made it happen, it’s absurd.

Even if you were the legendary Witch of the Forest, you can’t be that capricious, for such a colossal project to be completed in such a short time, it requires a vast number of construction teams.

Even if your fully automated mechanical civil engineering could replace labor with puppets, allowing for self-building, such scale can’t depend solely on puppets, especially since Dorothy hasn’t graduated yet, many High-Level Puppetry Techniques haven’t been taught to her, so human labor is needed as supplement.

Hmm, this requires several Peak Witch, dozens of Title-level Sorceress, hundreds of Elite Sorceress, thousands of Normal Sorceress...

Spider Witch unconsciously calculated the scale of the construction team, then remembered her apprentice is the Lord of Japan, under her command are many experts, and she’s respected like a deity, she even has a Moon Rabbit Servant Army...

It’s the Fate Foreman Physique.

Alright, people are there, but what about the materials? Even if Senior Euphilia is willing to spend money to support her daughter lavishly, arranging so many high-level materials in a short time...

Noelle Rose’s gaze swept to the side at the Golden Princess.

Alright, no problem.

Such a huge project also requires a competent manager to oversee and manage, liaising with various departments...

Spider Witch glanced at the recently graduated Witch Academy former Student Council President.

Alright, this leadership for clearing dust is a waste of talent.

"Then I have no objections, but it was Dorothy who said you’re willing to support me. Don’t later complain that I’m troublesome, or that I spend too much, and kick me out, because if you do, I..."

Noelle Rose thought for a moment, realizing she couldn’t find any reason to refuse, so she nodded and said.

She wanted to lay down some harsh words, to speak them first, as she didn’t want a repeat of being driven out by her family.

But harsh words choked on her lips, seeing the sincere gaze of her apprentice, she couldn’t say them.

First, she genuinely loves the apprentice in front of her, a true Great Witch on the path of Original Sin is often insane, and she is no exception, she appreciates this apprentice so much that even if betrayed, she probably wouldn’t hate them.

After all, in a family of jealousy, the strong devour the weak, the weak are nutrition and stepping stones for the strong, this is common sense.

The nature of Black Widow, a Spider Demon like this, is just so, cruel and deceitful, indiscriminately jealous of others, can’t stand anyone better, but sometimes terrifyingly selfless.

Among mates, after completing the mating, they voluntarily become prey for mother spider. But after laying baby spiders, mother spider also voluntarily becomes the first prey for them.

Though as a single spider without offspring, if ever Dorothy this apprentice needs her as a stepping stone for higher paths, Noelle Rose feels she could accept such fate.

Even quite pleased.

Secondly, she seems unable to threaten this apprentice with growing wings, since unknowingly, the apprentice has become a true big figure.

"I could cry, you know."

Spider Witch finally could only voice this pitifully and softly.

"I won’t let you cry, teacher, you are my important teacher."

Dorothy affirmed confidently.

Oh, squeezing tears out doesn’t count.

After all, you are my teacher, compiling materials is your job, teach me soon, I haven’t studied for months, my study addiction is kicking in.

Hehe, now teacher, you’re always with me, let’s see any excuse not to write materials, don’t worry, other trivial matters can all be handed to me, you just need to wholeheartedly write educational materials.

The homebody witch pondered this.

"Do you have the confidence to help me move? I really have a lot of luggage."

Noelle Rose resigned herself, she said so.

"Of course, whether tearing down or moving house, I’m professional."

Dorothy stated with full confidence.

In the shadows behind her, Night Parade of Hyakki.

Thus, very soon, the long-sealed fortress nest of the Spider Witch was opened from inside out, welcoming the first formal guest since its construction.

... Homebody witch moved in ...
