Chapter 949: 584. Gates of the Underworld_2
"Um, actually she and I are just friends, nothing like lovers, even if you're the Great Judge, you can't spread rumors..."
The Homebody Witch mumbled softly, but Miss Justice just smiled without saying a word, although her gaze lingered on the Pain Mask for a moment, slightly surprised.
Thus, Dorothy could only withdraw into herself.
"Alright, we've finished discussing your business, and I have a pile of official work to handle. Clown Inquisitor, you can take your little sweetheart and leave now."
Miss Knight forcefully shoved the Angel Wing Badge into the hands of the reclusive Homebody Witch and then prepared to see the guests out.
Feeling conflicted, the Homebody Witch had no choice but to get up.
"Well, one last piece of advice: keep an eye on your little sweetheart, it'd be best to take her somewhere remote to hide out for a while. Anyway, school's almost on break, and things won't be too peaceful in the near future. You guys are still young, and too weak, it's not suitable for you to get involved in adult matters too early. Let the adults solve adult problems, you little ones don't need to worry about it for now."
Just as Dorothy was about to reach the door, the voice of the Righteous Sage rang out again, saying this.
"Alright, I'll consider it, thank you, Lord Justice, for the reminder."
The Homebody Witch nodded.
As she stood up, she couldn't help but look again at the figure that had already gone back to dealing with the mountains of documents, and then asked.
"My Lord, why do you also protect her?"
"Because I am the Justice of the Witch, and she is a Witch."
The Great Judge lifted his head and said naturally.
For this answer, Dorothy nodded her head, understanding.
Now she had no more questions, she put away the Angel Wing Badge-shaped Resurrection Item and promptly turned to leave.
......
"Hahaha, I'm dying from laughter, Rosie, got shut down, huh."
Just after leaving the Great Judge's office, Senior Hat burst into gleeful laughter from above Dorothy's head.
The Merry Maker came right over to sneer.
"Laugh my butt, it's not like your and Mother Superior's info weren't inaccurate, misleading me. This Righteous Sage isn't as bad as you said."
Under the mask, Dorothy's little face was flushed red, and she retorted at the heartless Senior Joyful with irritation.
"No, don't blame me and the teacher, we're not taking the blame for this. There was nothing wrong with the information, the teacher can indeed let Matia beat her with one hand, after all, this Sage isn't good at fighting. And the information I told you earlier wasn't a single falsehood."
"Did I not tell you that Matia is a Sage? It's you, Rosie, where did you get the nerve to not take a Sage seriously. Those who can be called Sages are practically Omniscient and Omnipotent big shots, and you guys actually thought about playing tricks under a Sage's watchful eye, I'm dying from laughter."
"No way, no way, does any little witch really think her child's play can be hidden from a Sage? Schemes without strength as a foundation are nothing but jokes."
Senior Fanny laughed even louder.
Dorothy: "..."
The Homebody Witch was shaking with anger, but she really didn't know how to retort against this annoying Merry Maker, so she had to keep all her shame and anger to herself.
But it's no big deal, she wasn't the only one publicly embarrassed this time, Sophia, come on, die for me, let's be awkward together.
Dorothy first returned to the task hall and gave a tenth of the Angel's Command Points to those little partners, even though these guys just acted as the background and didn't really work, the Homebody Witch still generously paid them.
After dismissing the little partners who were overjoyed with their pay, the Homebody Witch immediately hid in her office, and then she took out her roommate's corpse from her pocket.
Originally she wanted to wait until returning to the Tower of Shine to wake up Sophia, but because of the previous warning and lesson from the Righteous Great Judge, now Dorothy had really learned her lesson.
She now felt as if the outside big world was full of Sages' eyes, and upon careful consideration, only the Judgment Court Headquarters seemed relatively safer.
If indeed there was a place in the Witch World that could block the gaze of Sages, then this Judgment Court Headquarters certainly counted as one. After discovering that the Righteous Great Judge was also a Loyalist, the Judgment Court in the Homebody Witch's mind suddenly became undoubtedly loyal.
"Wake up, Sleeping Beauty, it's time to get up."
Looking at the Twelve-Winged Angel Witch with her eyes closed, seemingly sleeping peacefully, Dorothy called out the pre-arranged code between the two.
Only, after waiting slightly for five minutes, looking at the still peacefully slumbering Angel Witch, the Homebody Witch was stunned.
What's going on now, clearly, it was agreed that she would resurrect upon hearing the code, are you really planning to be Sleeping Beauty, needing the Prince's true love's kiss to wake up?
Looking at her roommate who wasn't budging at all, the Homebody Witch was a bit puzzled.
She had known a long time ago that she had already transferred the Resurrection Item given to her by Grand Judge Pan to Sophia, thus dying and coming back to life was not a problem for her roommate, so why didn't she respond after calling out the code?
Could something have delayed her? Or was the Resurrection Item broken?
Dorothy was a bit skeptical, she took out the Angel Wing Badge recently given to her by the Righteous Great Judge, and tried to activate it, but it failed to activate.
