Otaku Witch

The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting deep shadows among the courtyard's trees.

On the wooden corridor of the Japanese-style garden, the homebody witch ended her random thoughts, originally preparing to pull out a bundle of textbooks and start a night of intensive study.

However, before she could act, a figure opened the door from the adjoining room and stepped out. Hearing the noise, Dorothy glanced over, and the two locked eyes.

It was Yae Miko.

Ah, what's this? Aunt Miko isn't asleep either?

....

The blond witch had barely stepped out the door when she was confronted by a "monster" with three heads and six arms, which startled her unexpectedly and almost made her throw a talisman out. Thankfully, she saw through the "monster's" disguise before acting—it was her genius niece.

"Dorothy, why aren't you sleeping at this late hour, instead playing ghost to scare people?"

Yae Miko asked somewhat speechlessly.

Relieved, she noticed that her niece had six books clutched in her six arms, and was surprised.

"Are you studying?"

The blond witch was doubtful, as no one studies like this. Even with three heads, how could someone read six books simultaneously? Does each eye focus on one book independently? Wouldn't the brain struggle?

She pondered whether this might be some form of youth performance art.

However, the young one's Transformation Magic was quite impressive indeed, with solid fundamentals—truly a worthy daughter of Senior Ya, of the Yemengade lineage of Dragon Witches.

At this point, Dorothy retracted her three heads and six arms, returning to normal. She packed away the textbooks, although her second and third lines of thought were still frantically operating in the Sea of Consciousness.

The recent study session was merely scanning the textbook contents into her Memory Palace; as for digesting the content, it happened continuously at all times.

Everyday activities of the homebody witch only consumed a fraction of her primary consciousness, while the remainder collaborated with other lines of thinking in the Sea of Consciousness to conduct study meetings, processing the scanned contents.

Just like true masters practice consistently regardless of action or rest, a true academic prodigy indeed studies twenty-four hours a day, without rest.

And Dorothy, being slightly greedy, wanted it all—both martial training and academic study.

The natural operation of battle magic martial skills was the responsibility of the Fairy King, while the digestion and learning of magic knowledge was the task of the second and third thinking circuits. Her core consciousness, the "Witch," was responsible for orchestrating everything, synthesizing, thinking, innovating, and so forth.

As for Little May God, well, it was a bona fide independent incarnation. The Moon God primarily studied the Power of Faith, which was somewhat risky, so the homebody witch could only allow her to research independently; at least if she lost control, it wouldn't affect the main body.

However, as she had given the small account of "Carmine of True Red" to the Moon God, the Moon God helped Dorothy handle some chores—like dealing with the "Phantom of the Opera" young lady who sought to chat with her every day. (Chapter 589: Big mistake exposed the junior sister's online name, urgently adjusting the timeline; Little Fox's daily account changed to "Fox Carrot.")

Hmm, the young lady's voice was as captivating as ever, and Dorothy quite enjoyed chatting with the little online celebrity she had nurtured. But unfortunately, the young lady recently sought her out for chats every day, which was too much trouble, so she handed the matter over to the Moon God for handling.

Speaking of which, the homebody witch felt that Little Six was nearly born, planning to let Little Six and Familiar Zero research the Way of Mechanical together. The magic equipment and mechanical reincarnation experience accumulated during the Witch's Night couldn't be wasted.

Thus, the homebody witch arranged her future clearly.

However, due to Aunt Miko's presence now, out of respect for elders, Dorothy's primary consciousness paused its activity and fully confronted the blond witch who claimed to be her sister.

"The teacher had already fallen asleep, so I had to study on my own first."

The homebody witch glanced at the room behind her and replied.

Upon hearing this answer, Yae Miko's eyes also lit up.

Wonderful, she was worried about how to take advantage, not expecting such an opportunity to present itself so soon.

Rosie, Rosie, how could you not take up the role of a teacher? Such a talented and eager-to-learn student, yet you leave them to study alone—how can you sleep soundly? Does your conscience not ache?

The blond witch inwardly condemned her good sister's irresponsibility, unconsciously occupying the moral high ground, grown bolder in her pursuit.

"If she doesn't teach, then I will. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Although I'm not specialized in architecture, I'm still slightly knowledgeable in these subjects."

Yae Miko said.

As a Peak Witch, she indeed had the confidence to make such statements. Unlike Senior Euphilia, who specialized in combat magic, she followed the traditional Sage's scholarly path, heading towards omniscience.

Therefore, although she personally specialized in spatial transformations, she was somewhat familiar with other fields of knowledge. Not yet matching professionals, she could nonetheless guide the little witch.

Upon hearing her sister Miko's words, Dorothy felt a surge of joy in her heart.
