Chapter 189: 168. The Poor Witch and the Golden Princess
"Morning, Senior Sister."
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Dorothy went out to the balcony and pulled out her broom, ready to take off.
Downstairs, Little Fox poked out her head, with Little Puppet fluttering around her, greeting her.
"Hmm, this is for you."
She pulled out a breakfast combo of steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk and tossed it down.
To establish her club as soon as possible, today she needed to sort out the club's location.
Since it was a place where everyone would frequently gather, the choice of a location required everyone's input. However, the Club President was too busy to be involved, senior Fanny didn't care much about living environments, so the only ones available to go check out the place with her today were her, junior Audrey, and Senior Mia.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Downstairs, Audrey caught the tasty morsel falling from the sky with agile hands, her nine tails whipping about in excitement, as a sweet smile spread across her enchanting face.
At that moment, another head poked out from the floor below Audrey, and it was Senior Mia.
"You guys are up early, huh?"
The Golden Princess was still wearing her silk pajamas, stretching on the balcony; her voluptuous figure was so pronounced that not even her loose-fitting sleepwear could conceal it, drawing Dorothy's gaze almost involuntarily.
But who would have thought that Senior Mia lived just below them?
Dorothy was slightly surprised at this discovery.
But thinking about it more, it wasn't so strange. After all, this wealthy senior was one of the strongest witches in Witch Academy. It was only natural she could afford to live in the higher levels of Tower of Shine.
But to be just on the fourth topmost level—who lived on the third?
Dorothy looked curiously at the layer separating Audrey and Senior Mia, but that floor's door was always tightly shut, with no one coming out.
"I'm ready, we can set off."
After all, being a witch comes with the convenience of magic, so there was no need to prepare for half an hour before leaving the house, like mortal girls. In the few seconds Dorothy was lost in thought, Senior Mia downstairs had already dressed neatly, even with subtle and exquisite makeup on her face, ready to go.
Dorothy glanced at the traces of makeup on her senior's face and couldn't help but click her tongue silently.
Who would have thought that you, Senior, were also a fan of Witch Powder.
The Homebody Witch was once again shocked by her own influence. Was the world going to be ruled by the Witch of the Forest soon? It seemed that every person she ran into was a fan of the witch.
Before, when she stayed at home every day without going out, she didn't feel it much, but now that she was at Witch Academy, seeing six out of ten passersby as diehard fans of the witch, three as casual fans, and one as a rabid fan, Dorothy would sometimes feel a bit panicked.
All she wanted was to earn some Library Points, so how did her influence grow this big without her realizing it? And it's not like she cast some great spell; they were just a few life hacks, is the reaction really that exaggerated?
Hisss, if her big secret identity were exposed, that would truly be the end.
While Dorothy was trembling with uncertainty, Senior Mia glanced sidelong at the Fox Witch following her beloved Little Fairy, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Damn it, why is this Fox Spirit always around whenever there's a good chance for a date with Little Fairy?
The Golden Princess ground her teeth silently.
No wonder, who could resist the allure of that bewitching face? Even she might have fallen for it if she hadn't already given her heart to someone. And it's bad enough she looks that seductive, but to act so coy and pure-hearted... is this the so-called 'innocent lust' that's been trending recently? It's terrifying indeed, a formidable rival.
But no matter, Little Fairy, I shall have you, and no one can take you from me.
Senior Mia was fired up.
However, Little Fox, who was happily enjoying the breakfast given to her by Senior Mia, flicked her ears slightly, looking at Senior Mia with a hint of confusion.
Just now, her talent to sense desires had activated, and the source was none other than Senior Mia. However, the desire was rather strange, not the usual craving for her body, but a peculiar competitive desire.
How strange.
Little Fox bit into a bun and took a sip of soy milk to calm her surprise.
But she didn't dislike this kind of non-malicious desire, nor was she particularly afraid of it.
Indeed, worthy of being chosen by Senior Sister, another person unaffected by my beauty, how nice.
Audrey thought with some delight,
She became more convinced that choosing to leave home and study at Witch Academy was the right decision; otherwise, she wouldn't have met Senior Sister, nor would she have known that there were so many people in the world unaffected by her cursed beauty.
And...
Club life, ah, I've only seen it in books and films before, and I never thought I would have the chance to participate in clubs in this lifetime.
The thought alone filled Little Fox with joy and excitement.
When she got excited, she wanted to sing, but her irredeemable social anxiety still stopped her from opening her mouth. However, her nine tails swished happily to the beat behind her, showing her good mood. Experience new stories on empire
"Well, Senior, this is for you,"
Seeing that Senior Mia was also ready, Dorothy shifted her gaze away from the third tallest building. She too took out a breakfast set and handed it to Senior Mia. Then, the three witches set off on their brooms together.
"Little Fairy, which ring zone are you planning for your club's headquarters? I know of some nice plots of land. Want to check them out?"
On the way, Senior Mia enjoyed the breakfast lovingly prepared by Little Fairy, while casually bringing up the topic.
Although she had left the Armed Society overnight, she was still the first seat of Disciplinary Team Thirteen. After all, Disciplinary Team Thirteen is a subsidiary of the Student Union's Disciplinary Committee, and changing clubs wouldn't affect her position.
As the order enforcer of Witch Academy, Disciplinary Team Thirteen naturally knew the campus like the back of their hand, but alas, the area managed by Mia herself was the One-Ring Zone, and the One-Ring Zone comprised mostly core academy buildings, leaving no room for a new club headquarters.
However, as the big sister of Disciplinary Team Thirteen, the younger sisters from the other squads would certainly give her some face.
As the saying goes, "It takes a thousand days to raise a sister, but only a moment to use her." Last night, she had found out about the prime locations within each of their territories precisely to make an impression on Little Fairy today.
But...
"Of course, we're going to Thirteen-Ring. The rent there is the cheapest,"
Dorothy replied as if it were obvious.
The club's headquarters wasn't free of charge – it required rent – and since the club had just started, they hadn't earned a penny yet. Naturally, they would go wherever was cheapest.
Senior Mia: "....."
The words Golden Princess had ready were suddenly stuck in her throat.
Drat, a miscalculation, she forgot that normal witches do need to worry about money.
Mia, who had never known what it felt like to be short on money in her life, scratched her head in distress.
When choosing things, she always picked only the best without considering the price, as there were very few things in this world she couldn't afford. Therefore, the locations she wanted for the headquarters were the ones in the best areas.
But it wasn't until now that she realized that when normal people buy things, they look at the price, which made things quite difficult.
