Otaku Witch

"Ah, can witch's kitchen magic really be used like this?"

In the large kitchen of the Armed Society, Audrey stared at the entire kitchen operating automatically in front of her, her seductive fox eyes widened and her rosy cherry lips opened wide, unable to close for a long time.

"But isn't it only capable of handling no more than five dishes at a time?"

Little Fox was full of question marks.

Watching nearly a thousand meals being methodically prepared in this huge kitchen, with various utensils loyally completing their tasks as if commanded by the most skilled general, Little Fox was speechless for a long time and began to doubt herself.

The longer she stayed by her mentor's side, the more she doubted whether she was still fit to be the president of the Witches' Support Club. She adored and loved the Great Forest Witch so much, but her understanding of her idol's spells paled in comparison to her mentor — it was simply embarrassing.

"Don't be sad, Audrey. I just have a bit of talent in Spell Studies, and this isn't the original witch's spell anymore; it's my modified version. If you want, I can teach you, but this spell does require a good deal of culinary talent," Dorothy explained.

The kitchen was already operating on its own under the power of the spell, so Dorothy was quite free. She only needed to supervise like a head chef, without needing to do any dirty or tiring work herself, which was very comfortable.

Therefore, seeing her lovely mentee feeling inferior amidst her astonishment, Dorothy, who was lazily nibbling on sunflower seeds, felt it was her duty as a mentor to give the beautiful mentee a bit of encouragement. After all, she was so attractive, albeit a bit adorably silly, but still pleasing to the eye — it would be a shame to break her accidentally.

Moreover, Audrey was needed for her plan to form a new club.

Right then, Dorothy pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket and shared them with her mentee, generously explaining the modified version of the banquet art she had devised.

This spellcraft was something she came up with urgently after accepting an invitation from the Armed Society. It was still just a draft and not yet perfected, requiring about three to five days of testing and bug fixes. Although she planned to store this Banquet Spell in the Magic Web Library, she didn't intend to make it publicly available for sale.

After all, this thing was quite challenging. According to the standards of witch's spells difficulty, it was almost at Level 9, the peak of high-order magic, just a step away from the level of a Forbidden Curse.

Of course, if the learner has a high culinary talent, the difficulty of learning this spell would correspondingly decrease. For Dorothy herself, this spell was as simple as Level 0 — using it was as easy as eating or drinking.

This was essentially a professional culinary spell, of interest mainly to witch chefs of head chef caliber. Most witches reaching head chef standard generally already had their own unique culinary spells and didn't need hers.

The sales of such spells were inevitably low. Similarly, the price of such spells would also be very high, belonging to the kind that didn't sell often but generated substantial earnings each time they did — enough to earn quite a few Library Points when actually sold.

However, Dorothy wasn't short of points now; her learning speed couldn't even keep up with the rate at which her points were accumulating.

Of course, her main reason for deciding not to sell it to the public was because such a niche spell made it easy for her to lose her cover. Although she could claim high proficiency due to frequent usage of common spells to mislead others, the quick mastery and proficiency of a rarely purchased professional spell was hard to explain convincingly.

Just managing her identity as a high-society lady in the academy was already giving Dorothy headaches. If her major cover was blown as well, recalling all those witch fans scattered across the Magic Network made the Homebody Witch shiver.

Seeing her mentee Audrey looking almost traumatized by her good looks and fervent fans, fans of the Witch of the Forest...

Well, as long as there are witches who still eat and yearn to be lazy, the least they are is ordinary witch fans.

Heh, heaven knows how many witches are idly searching on the Magic Network for the true identity of their Lady Witch. It's a good thing Dorothy uses the "Witch of the Forest" account only in the Magic Web Grand Library and hardly anywhere else, making her untraceable.

And if that identity was ever exposed...

Hehe, if she doesn't have some self-defense skills or simply hires a dozen Great Witches as bodyguards, she wouldn't dare to step outside. You know, there are always some weird fans who dream about something happening with their idol....

Obsessed fans, especially those with great power, are truly terrifying.

But speaking of which, Dorothy glanced at her little junior sister with a bit of guilt, as it seemed this Little Fox was one of her die-hard fans. So, she had to protect her identity well, or who knows when her secret might get exposed, and the first one to stab her in the back and attack her would be this seemingly gentle little junior sister.

Twin Peak daughter, possessor of high-risk Magic Eye, perfect successor to the Fox Spirit and Succubus talent, and also a mental patient prone to extreme thoughts...

Damn, her inherent buffs are almost maxed out.

You don't realize until you think about it, but once you do, it's shocking. Dorothy silently took a step back from this "innocent and harmless" little junior sister.

Of course, Audrey, whose eyes had turned blurry from the Spell theory explained by her senior sister just now, naturally didn't notice her senior sister taking a small step back.

She just desperately realized she truly had no talent in Culinary Arts. According to her senior sister, the Banquet Art would adjust its difficulty level based on the learner's culinary talent, and it wouldn't exceed level 9.

However....

As an Elite Witch who almost stepped into the Great Witch domain, Audrey's spell list did include plenty of level 9 spells. Even due to her mothers' doting, she had begun learning level 10 Forbidden Curses that she shouldn't have access to as a Great Witch.

Hmm, Little Fox could barely understand some of the level 10 Forbidden Curses, albeit slowly, but at least she could learn. This level 9 Banquet Art, however...

What kind of Heavenly Book is this? Senior sister, are you sure this is level 9? My family's inherited Forbidden Curses aren't even this complex!

Little Fox, with tears in her eyes, looked at her senior sister, who had a "why are you so stupid" expression, and sank into a sulk.

So, is her lack of culinary talent a curse?

As Audrey recalled the "Ancient God Cuisine" she had attempted in the past, she suddenly realized a terrifying possibility.

Ah, this... The Little Fox, always taught to be the most exemplary lady, felt her femininity alarm sound off.

The homebody Fox Witch always dreamed of being the lonely princess locked in a high tower of fairy tales. She imagined that one day, her fated "Prince" would ride a white horse to save her, taking her out of that secluded tower into the outside world.

As a perfect princess, Audrey thought about showing off her femininity to captivate her "Prince's" true love when he really arrived.

In Little Fox's fantasy, she should prepare the most delicious food with the best culinary skills to entertain her "Prince," then soothe her "Prince" with the most beautiful songs and dances, and finally wear the most beautiful dress at night to....

Audrey's cheeks blushed a deep red, her nine big tails shyly poking each other, and the pure little witch suddenly became embarrassed.

It's just...

This wonderful fantasy couldn't seem to progress from the first step, what should she do?

...Little Fox's dream shattered...
