Otaku Witch

Hmph, I'm a woman that Senior Mia can't have.

The homebody witch was smug, feeling a bit proud of her own restraint.

And Senior Mia looked at her heart's desire in front of her. As a shrewd businesswoman, she didn't need mind reading to see through the little fairy's thoughts, but she didn't feel offended or thought little of her; instead, she found this kind of little fairy quite adorable.

"By the way, Senior, I forgot to ask yesterday, why did you come to Japan? Is there something you need to handle?"

Dorothy suddenly remembered this and asked.

You see, Japan isn't very peaceful right now. The Judgment Court is already preparing to act from the outside, and Yae Miko and the others inside are eager to move. If the Golden Country gets involved, it will surely become a mess.

Of course, if the Senior really came for Japan, then maybe she has some insider information,

the homebody witch was slightly hopeful.

However, facing her heart's question, Senior Mia's smile grew slightly stiff.

Oh, how should she answer this? She couldn't possibly say she was there because her family was urging her to meet potential partners, so she came to see the vine woman? What would the little fairy think of her? What if she thinks she's a loose woman? That wouldn't do.

The Golden Princess began to sweat, using all her years of acting skills, she raised a finger to her lips and pretended to be mysterious.

"Shh, it's a business secret."

Yes, whether it was a business secret before or not, now it is. Senior Mia decided to go back and block everyone's mouths with her authority. Don't ask, it's the top secret of the Golden Country.

"Oh, I see, sorry, Senior, it was rude of me."

Dorothy naturally wouldn't doubt anything. She nodded sensibly, apologizing for her curiousness.

However, her understanding made the already guilty-feeling Senior Mia even more remorseful; the Golden Princess felt she had to express something, or her heart wouldn't be at peace.

"By the way, little fairy, are you here to buy anything today? I'll... I'll give you the lowest price."

Senior Mia almost instinctively wanted to give gifts but realizing her heart's desire didn't like taking advantage of friends, she quickly corrected herself.

(To prevent being criticized, she was full of the will to survive. Aunt Miko paid market prices, and Dorothy made profits by reducing costs, which is a normal business transaction, not taking advantage.)

And when Dorothy heard this, she nodded as well. Actually, after finding out this street was Senior Mia's business, she felt a bit awkward about bargaining, but since the Senior offered, she didn't refuse.

After getting to know each other better, she wasn't as resistant to goodwill as before. As long as it wasn't too excessive, like giving things away for free, she wouldn't reject it.

While it's hard to repay such favors, social interactions work like this: you help me today, I help you tomorrow. Through these exchanges, relationships become closer and more secure.

If you always keep people at a distance, like before, you'd be too aloof and won't make friends.

Besides, given her current relationship with Senior Mia, there's no talk of favors anymore. If the Senior needs help, she's determined to give her all, being too calculated would seem distant.

Meanwhile, Audrey also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, her Senior and Aunt were just discussing sending her to bargain with people; as someone socially awkward, she couldn't handle such tasks. Now that Senior Mia was here, she dodged that bullet.

Yet, while she was greatly relieved, the Little Fox felt a tiny bit of unexplainable regret since she had been mentally preparing herself along the way, mustering great courage that now seemed unnecessary.

As for Noelle Rose standing by, Spider Teacher, such a shameless person, glanced at the famous Golden Princess in front of her and then at her beloved disciple, her gaze darting between the two, revealing an aunt-like smile.

Oh my, my good disciple, you're doing quite well. No wonder you're not interested in Senior Euphilia's properties; you have better choices here. Indeed, a good eye! This Golden Princess is curvy, has a clear background, and is rich, the perfect choice for a wife.

Moreover, if you snag this Golden Princess, I won't have to worry about research funding for the rest of my life.

Yes, clearly, while not all hearts can be bought with money, money is enough to buy most people's hearts, especially when the money genuinely comes with care.

Noelle Rose has always had the idea of pairing her little niece with her disciple, considering keeping wealth within the family, but now...

Audrey, don't blame Aunt for being unsteady; it's just that this outsider had too much to offer. Besides, you don't seem that interested in Dorothy, so I won't mess with matchmaking.

Without much integrity, Spider Teacher easily switched allegiances to the Mia camp, immediately looking encouragingly at this future prospective daughter-in-law.
