Otaku Witch

"Two Dragon Witches, welcome to the Giant Dragon Market."

As a group of people landed at the entrance of the Giant Dragon Market and arrived at the majestic gate guarded by two giant dragons, the two dragons, who were napping on the job, opened their eyes. They inspected the four witches who approached, with their gaze finally settling on Dorothy and Mia.

Being part of the powerful Calamity Race, the dragons naturally did not regard witches as deities, as other weaker exotic races did, and thus maintained a relatively equal relationship with them.

However, the relationship between the two races wasn't particularly good either.

Most of the witches thought of the dragons as nothing more than beasts made more brutal by their strength, while the old disaster-tier dragons viewed the newly wealthy tribe of witches emerging just as unfavorably.

However, the Dragon Witches were an exception.

After all, years ago the Dragon King had truly fought her way into the Dragon Realm, and with her unparalleled iron fists, she had utterly subjugated the dragons who revered strength. Consequently, the Dragon Witches had earned the dragons' respect.

Of course, the real reason these two giant dragons greeted them proactively was also because of strength. Dorothy was negligible, merely an add-on. What really captured the dragons' attention were Mia, and Fafnir on Dorothy's shoulder.

Especially Senior Mia, for she was a bona fide Great Witch, whose strength was comparable to an Ancient Dragon in the dragon world, while these two giant dragons were merely in the prime of their lives.

The strength of dragons is generally classified by age; the older the dragon, the stronger it is.

Juvenile dragons, young dragons, and adolescent dragons correspond to Weak Witches; youths and adults correspond to ordinary witches; prime and elderly dragons correspond to Elite Witches; followed by Ancient Dragons, Primordial Dragons, and Ancient Dragons, which correspond to the Rank of Great Witch.

As for Peak Witches, they correspond to the Dragon Kings of various dragon races, and Sages are equivalent to the Supreme Dragon God.

Of course, although dragons are an ultimate life form that naturally becomes stronger through eating and sleeping, not all dragons live to become Ancient Dragons, just as not all witches achieve Great Witch status and simply die of old age.

If they were directly indulging in laziness, these decadent idle dragons might simply die of old age. Your next journey awaits at empire

Therefore, even in the eyes of the arrogant dragons, witches of the Great Witch level were worthy of respect, let alone that this Great Witch was a Dragon Witch.

However, dragons seeing witches is much like witches seeing dragons—they think they all look similar and suffer from severe face blindness. Hence, they hadn't initially recognized Senior Mia's identity.

But when they carefully discerned the magical aura around Senior Mia, the golden and silver dragon suddenly opened their eyes wide.

"Ah, such a rich golden aura! Could it be that you are the Golden Princess of the Astoros Family? Welcome, welcome! May we assist you in finding your way?"

The two dragons, originally majestic and imposing, now lowered their proud heads before the wealthy heiress, and even sported a sycophantic look that was so obvious even Dorothy could notice, which disillusioned the homebody witch, who was seeing living giant dragons for the first time.

Damn it, you're dragons, the boss race in countless games, anime, and novels of the past. Can't you just stiffen up a bit? Don't you know that right now you look just like two dogs?

But on second thought, it seemed quite reasonable. After all, besides being powerful, dragons are most famous for their greed, especially for gold. And the Astoros Family, to which Senior Mia belonged, had nothing in abundance except gold, lots of money.

This greedy demon encountering a major gold master and turning into a bootlicker doesn't seem all that strange since, after all, it's all about making money without losing face.

"No need, thank you. We're just having a look around."

As for these two bootlicking dragons, Senior Mia acted very aloof. She was accustomed to such sycophancy, and it made no difference to her that this time it was dragons swooning over her.

After all, Great Dragons were still rare in other places, but not in Dragon Kingdom, where Mia couldn't even remember how many had fought over the chance to become her pet just to move into her golden kennel from her childhood.

Thus, the group ignored two sullen Great Dragons who had failed in their attempts and couldn't sleep, and entered the Giant Dragon Market.

And right at the entrance, Dorothy was immediately struck by the surreal aura, especially with all the various Monster Girls around that dazzled her for a moment.

"Wow, that Dark Elf Miss's outfit is so edgy."

"Yay, a Centaurette Knight, so tall and clearly easy to ride."

"Tsk, a group of Dwarf Girls and Hobbit Girls strolling by, that's pretty hefty."

"Nice one, a Headless Knight Girl, so cool, so cool, Knight sister, could you let me see your head?"

......

What's the best thing about stories from another world?

Of course, it's these adorable exotic race girls.

Even though Dorothy had seen such scenes in Sea Moon City, Sea Moon Territory, as a low-tier city, couldn't match the bustling excitement of Witch Academy, a top-tier city.

Back in Sea Moon Territory, they only had a few of the most common otherworldly races, while minority groups like the Lamia Tribe and Harpies were hard to come by.

But it was different at Witch Academy, the variety of otherworldly races was truly diverse, and to Dorothy's delight, she even saw the rarely encountered Headless Knight as soon as she entered, which immediately thrilled her.

This is right, this is right, this is the otherworldly life I want. In the future, I'm definitely going to invite more good-looking races to my territory, preferably completing the high-attractiveness race collection achievement.

Yeah, I want to create an All Nations, Big Mom is my role model.

Said the homebody witch in her head.

Of course, since there were people around her, despite her internal cheers, Dorothy remained quite quiet on the outside.

This was her first visit to the Academy's Giant Dragon Market, so she wasn't very familiar with the area and therefore stuck with Senior Mia and her sister Alice, who were quite familiar with this place.

However, the market was truly massive, and after wandering through twists and turns for almost an hour, and probably walking tens of thousands of steps, the group finally arrived at their destination—the building materials market.

However, at that moment, Dorothy's attention wasn't on the nearby destination. Instead, the homebody witch was completely drawn to something else beside the building materials market—the talent market next to it.

As for what the so-called talent market of the Witch World is?

Well, to put it plainly, it's actually just a fancily disguised slave market from another world.

...The homebody witch's curiosity intensifies...
