Otaku Witch

After listening to everyone's explanations for a bit, Dorothy finally understood what exactly had happened earlier.

However, she truly felt innocent about it, as she was just pondering about Magic as usual, specifically the newly learned Immortal Technique. Who could have thought that something this big would happen now, when nothing happened before?

Was the problem within herself, the Immortal Technique, or due to her learning the Immortal Technique?

The homebody witch fell into contemplation.

"Shall we first talk about that Descended Saint matter?"

She recalled the question Aunt Miko asked before and couldn't help feeling curious.

To this, Yae Miko thought for a moment, her expression conflicted for a long time before finally speaking,

"This is just a legend that has been circulating among the Japanese Imperial Family, and no one really knows if it's true."

"Moreover, to be honest, this story isn't exactly an honorable one, so it's forbidden to discuss it openly within the imperial clan."

The Blond Witch slowly narrated this legend she had heard in childhood.

"Legend has it that Ancestors Izanagi and Izanami didn't just move to the Witch World without a reason; they were given a secret task by a powerful Immortal Lord."

"During the Era of the God King, the two ancestors had followed that Immortal Lord during a visit to the newly founded Witch Clan at the time, and they established a good relationship."

"At that time, since the Sea of Void was about to stir up a storm, communication between Eastern and Western Universes would be impossible for a long while. Hence, the Immortal Lord decided to send a few envoys to the Witch World to wait for a significant opportunity."

"This task was not considered a good one for Immortals, as the Western Universe was too barren. Undertaking a task with no time limit was nothing short of a disguised exile."

"In the end, the two ancestors, who were originally from the barren land of Japan, stepped forward to accept the Immortal Lord's task. The Immortal Lord was overjoyed and rewarded them with many treasures, granting their homeland, Japan, many benefits as well."

At this point, Yae Miko remained calm, but her expression grew complicated, tinged with a hint of shame and resentment.

"That Immortal Lord really entrusted the task to the wrong people. My two ancestors had ulterior motives upon accepting the task, knowing it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to defy their destined hardships—a gamble worth risking everything for."

"The ancestors, who had visited the Witch World with the Immortal Lord, already knew that they were sent to wait not for some treasure, but for a Natural Saint."

"And the benefits represented by a newly-born, yet-to-mature Saint were self-explanatory. Grasping this opportunity meant Japan could soar magnificently and transform its impoverished land into a Holy Land and the center of the Immortal Realm."

"Undoubtedly, such thoughts were unforgivable overreaches, but my ancestors were blinded by greed. Especially after they returned to the Witch World and found that the once backward and weak Barbarian Races grew over tens of thousands of years to become a Western Universe hegemon, one of the Four Great Catastrophes, their desires burned even hotter."

"To them, the prosperity of the Witch Clan came from drawing the fortune of that Natural Saint. If the witches could do it, why couldn't they?"

"So, with hidden agendas, the ancestors founded this Japan and settled in the Witch World, awaiting the next emergence of the Natural Saint to execute their long-brewing conspiracy."

The Blond Witch spoke with a mocking smile, recounting this ancient rumor passed down within the Japanese Imperial Family's direct lineage.

Listening to this, everyone silently distanced themselves from her.

Spider Teacher reacted first, shielding the three little witches behind her, while Sophia and Audrey both protected Dorothy, keeping a wary eye on this Japanese imperial witch, except for the homebody witch herself, who seemed deep in thought and showed no reaction.

Yae Miko: "......."

Seeing how everyone guarded against her as if she were a thief, the Blond Witch felt somewhat hurt, and after rolling her eyes in irritation, she pointed at the Angel's Judgment Order at her waist.

"You heartless people really disappoint me. Look, I'm actually on God King's side, okay?"

Hearing this, Noelle Rose realized she might have overreacted, but it didn't matter. Compared to Yae, this fair-weather friend, her precious apprentice was more significant, especially since Yae was a liar. Who knew if what she said was true or not?

Besides, if Yae didn't mention the Judgment Order, it wouldn't have been so bad, but now she was even more upset. They've known each other for years, but she never knew her "good friend" was also her colleague? If it weren't for this slip-up, would she have kept hiding it even longer?

Ah, truly my good sister, just waiting for me to become a laughingstock, right?

Come to think of it, Crafty Abnormality and she did seem to join the Judgment Court around the same time all those years ago, but after a hundred years, Yae, you kept it hidden from me for a hundred years, huh.
