Otaku Witch

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the Lord's Mansion, and it was then that Karin, the branch president of the Golden Town Commerce Association, took her leave, fleeing as if escaping from something.

There was no helping it, as the reputation of the Judgment Court was not very good, after all, it was an organization dedicated to purging internally. Any normal witch would feel uncomfortable in the presence of a Judge from the Judgment Court, for fear that they might suddenly decide to subject them to a rigorous investigation and the like.

Who doesn't have some secrets these days, especially for a big merchant like Karin? Though she didn't have the guts to evade taxes, she was quite audacious when it came to skimming off the top. Even though strictly speaking, this isn't illegal and there's not much to investigate, it probably boils down to a guilty conscience.

And without Karin as the intermediary, the atmosphere in the Lord's Mansion suddenly became awkward.

Dorothy and the others sat on the sofas in the reception room, while the local host, the Female City Lord, stood by timidly, looking as though she dared not take a seat.

This made the Home Martial Soul feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if they were a nefarious force bullying a helpless young girl, which was rather embarrassing.

Though this seemingly fragile young girl was not fragile at all, she indeed possessed the strength of a ruler of an entire world.

Dorothy observed the Female City Lord carefully; she was actually quite tall, around one meter eighty in height, but appeared somewhat frail at first glance due to her habit of constantly hunching and cowering.

In addition, her appearance was extraordinarily beautiful, of a Nation-toppling Beauty level. She seemed to have some Elf blood, with slightly pointed ear tips, although not as long as those of pure-blooded Elves. This actually quite aligned with Dorothy's aesthetic preferences.

However, it seemed that the Female City Lord noticed Dorothy's gaze, and her head drooped even lower, looking as if she wanted to bury her face in her own ample bust.

"Hiss, how could such a top-notch powerhouse have such a personality?"

Dorothy wondered with some curiosity.

After all, compared to her fragile appearance, the magic aura surrounding her was terrifying, so dense it could affect the surroundings. The Home Martial Soul approximately estimated it to be around six hundred thousand Mana.

Although her magic was of the secondary nature, like that of the Moon Rabbits' Moon Magic Power, and not comparable in quality to the witches' Primordial Magic Power, such a quantity of magic would qualify her as a Peak Witch in the Witch World.

What's more, that wasn't even the main point. The key issue was the dozens of magic sources, each more violent than hers, hidden behind her.

Taking into account the background of the Beast Taming World, Dorothy speculated that these were likely the Female City Lord's contracted beasts.

Should one really say she rightfully was a ruler of the world? Such strength was indeed terrifying.

Truly, if the Female City Lord had any ill intent towards them, then without Senior Fanny intervening, their entire group would surely face certain death.

Yet now, such a powerful figure who could be considered a major force in the Witch World in her own right, was quivering in front of them, her relatively "weak" adversaries, which was quite preposterous.

"I'll go check the records."

Not only was Dorothy puzzled, but even the Masked Senior Sister on her face was taken aback by this situation and became curious.

"Alright, I've found the information. Olivia Veronica, gender: female, age: 321 years old, ruler of Zeraka in the Beast Taming World, titles: Daughter of Nature, Queen of All Beasts, Evolving Empress."

"She is a once-in-a-millennium Tamed Beast genius of Zeraka, mastering the way of Magical Beast evolution, famed from a young age, becoming Zeraka's strongest under the age of 50, and then at the age of 100, ended the chaos of that world, united the world under her rule, ascended to the throne, and became the first Empress of the one and only united world in thousands of years."

"He is notoriously domineering and arrogant, and his naturally doubtful nature makes him a tyrant. There is a record of him unleashing a beast tide to destroy an entire city of enemies over a single disagreement....."

Senior Fanny was reading the information to Dorothy through a contract, but as she read on, she found herself unable to continue.

After all, the trembling, pitiful Female City Lord before her bore no resemblance to the brutal and outrageous Empress described in the document.

"Senior Sister, you might have picked up the wrong document."

Dorothy was also muttering to herself.

"How could that be? Let me check again. Ah, I see."

Senior Fanny, refusing to believe she was mistaken, continued to search through the documents. Quickly, she had an epiphany.

"The document isn't wrong. This is indeed Olivia, only those records are outdated. The latest documents show that when Teacher Euphilia led the Battle Group into this world, Olivia went up to meet her with full confidence, and even harshly declared she would have a one-on-one duel with Teacher Euphilia. Her wish came true, and afterward, her morale was shattered, leading to a complete change in her personality, and she has been dispirited ever since."

Dorothy: "....."

My goodness, what exactly did you do back then to scare her to this extent?

But then again, is this Female City Lord's ability to withstand pressure so weak that her spirit broke after one beating?

"It makes sense, though. This person seems to truly be the Daughter of this world. She had never faced defeat in the first half of her life, as if she were cheating. Then, unluckily, she encountered Teacher Euphilia, and at that time, because you had been spirited away by your father, Teacher was somewhat emotionally devastated and extremely brutal."

"That battle, she talked about a duel, but actually planned to summon a bunch of Tamed Beasts to gang up on Teacher. Then, the darkened Teacher disabled each of Olivia's Tamed Beasts right in front of her."

"Olivia actually comes from an orphan background, raised by Magical Beasts. So, while she was quite the tyrant as an Empress, she valued her Tamed Beasts more than anything. That's why she surrendered while crying, pleading for Teacher to spare her Tamed Beasts."

"Usually, conquering such a vast world would require a fierce fight even for witches, but her surrender certainly saved a lot of trouble."

After finishing reading the documents, Senior Fanny explained it like this.

"So, Dorothy, your luck has arrived, see how I get you the best Tamed Beast."

The Clown-faced Masked Senior Sister twisted her mouth, then a tentacle stretched out from the edge of the mask and approached the still trembling Olivia, the Female City Lord.

Next, a mouth formed on the tip of the tentacle, a tongue extended from it, and licked the petrified Female City Lord's cheek, leaving a trail of sticky fluid on her delicate face. Then, the tentacle moved to her ear and whispered.

"Hee hee hee... Lord of the City, surely you wouldn't want your Tamed Beast family members, still imprisoned, to suffer anymore, right?"

Such indescribable whispers arose beside Olivia's ear, causing the Female City Lord's pupils to shrink suddenly.

...The Female City Lord was enveloped in terror...
