Otaku Witch

Audrey just felt like she blinked her eyes, but when she looked around, Little Fox found herself already in a mansion completely different in style from the Witch World.

What she saw was no longer steel and concrete buildings, but an ancient wooden structure, especially in the vast courtyard in front of her, with flowers and grasses, pavilions scattered, deep and distant, full of Zen.

A small stream bends through the courtyard, and beneath the small arched bridge over the stream, colorful koi can be seen gathering, likely due to frequent feeding by people on the bridge, making these lazy fish develop such habits.

Thud thud....

A clear sound echoes from time to time in her ears; looking in the direction of the sound, she discovers the noise comes from bamboo tubes striking stones.

Little Fox curiously gazes at the bamboo device that rises and falls due to the impact of water (it seems it's called a shishi-odoshi), all in front of her, filled with exotic charm, is novel and interesting.

Just as she finds herself in this unfamiliar environment, this makes late-stage social anxiety Audrey a bit nervous. She instinctively looks around, searching for that familiar figure.

Fortunately, she soon finds that familiar black figure not far away.

It's her senior sister.

Audrey breathes a sigh of relief and quickly steps beside her senior sister, but sees her senior sister's eyes somewhat hollow, seemingly contemplating, or perhaps distracted, so she dare not disturb her senior sister, merely standing silently, gently swaying her tail, patiently waiting.

Little Fox thus glances at her senior sister while irresistibly sneaking peeks at these Japanese landscapes. It's actually the first time she's ever traveled, and she's truly filled with curiosity about everything.

....

Soon, Dorothy too blinks, awakening from the myriad bizarre scenes and insights perceived during the teleportation.

"Tsk, no wonder they all say Japan is mysteriously elusive, turns out this island isn't in the real world but in the Spirit World, a place between reality and illusion, that's interesting."

Homebody Witch muses to herself.

Whenever other witches use teleportation, it's just a matter of closing and opening eyes, at most seeing countless glimmers forming a space tunnel or something, but for her, everything is visible and perceptible.

In the past, she'd feel dizzy from the overload of massive information forcibly inserted into her brain, but now her strength grows stronger, and with the addition of "Spatial Control" state, her space-sensitive physique finally turns from a drawback to a great advantage.

Just on the way to this Japan via the teleportation channel opened by Aunt Miko, Homebody Witch already comprehended the secrets of this mystical island.

However, even knowing the principles doesn't hinder her curiosity about this hidden haven for immortals; instead, she becomes more interested in the island's architecture and such.

"So, Dorothy, did you gain anything on this trip?"

Just as she too curiously surveys the surroundings, a graceful and melodious voice sounds beside her.

It's Aunt Miko, the tall and blonde beauty now looks at her with a bit of expectation.

And Dorothy didn't intend to hide anything; she nods and reveals her discoveries about the mysteries of Japan.

"Hmm, Sister Miko your space control techniques taught me a lot, and I'm very curious about how this Japan so fittingly wedges between reality and the Spirit World, this architectural method is also my first time seeing."

Hearing the Homebody Witch's words, Yae Miko's eyes flash, her eyes brimming with more delight and a smile.

Hmm, she now genuinely feels more that this adopted niece is kindred with her, able to see through Japan's secrets the first time, this child's inspiration attributes are also high.

With spatial talent and high spiritual sensitivity, this child is destined to be my successor.

Blond Witch thinks to herself.

"Good, good, you truly have a gift, afterward we can spend time discussing spatial magic, but before that, you can first take your junior sister and explore around, this is Heian-kyo in Japan, considered the liveliest place on the island, though not as bustling as big cities outside, savoring the unique Eastern charm of Japan compared to the outside world is still nice."

Yae Miko advises.

She didn't directly pull the child to discuss spatial magic or to show off her knowledge, because haste makes waste, being overly eager not only easily frightens the child but also easily lets that keen old classmate detect her intentions.

Hmm, Spider Witch's spider sense is genuinely annoying, that thing is sometimes too sharp.

So, before strategizing Dorothy, she must first disperse this old classmate.

Luckily this isn't difficult, since she didn't invite Rosie over for a reunion or fun this time, rather she genuinely needed to entrust business to the architectural master.

Thus, she can completely use work to divert this protective mother spider.
