Otaku Witch

However, if the Oiran only sells her skills and not her body, then she is indeed a bit interested.

"Then I might as well give it a try."

Spider Teacher nodded confidently.

Well, it's just a courtesan, with her strength and brilliance, it's a matter of minutes to win them over. This wave is solid as a peak riding on the face.

Although she had never been in love, Noelle Rose had a mysterious confidence and composure at this moment.

Seeing her old classmate like this, the smile behind Yae Miko's folding fan grew more joyful, and she immediately added fuel to the fire.

"This is not all there is to it. You should know there's also a hierarchy among Oirans, those who can earn the title of Taiyu are the crème de la crème among Oirans, the top flower of this Flower Street, the one who outshines all others."

"However, the standards for judging a Taiyu are extremely strict. The Yoshiwara Flower District has existed since the founding of Japan, but in the past tens of thousands of years, less than ten Oirans have earned the title of Taiyu. In fact, the title of Taiyu had been extinct for over ten thousand years until Miss Ibuki emerged a hundred years ago."

"Speaking of which, the background of Ibuki Taiyu is also special, she was initially a vine woman specifically trained by the Yoshiwara Flower District."

At this point, the blond witch paused slightly, and Noelle Rose instinctively asked.

"What is a vine woman?"

The homebody witch who had been silently listening was also very curious at this point.

She felt that the Ibuki Taiyu mentioned by Aunt Miko should be the Oiran she saw parading around at noon, no wonder the pomp of the Oiran Parade was so grand and intimidating, it makes sense that she's the king of Flower Street.

Dorothy quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems it's not the Flower Street that was abnormal, but that the Ibuki Oiran herself is rather special. At noon, the three of them just happened to encounter the once-in-a-ten-thousand-year appearance of a Taiyu, which led to some unnecessary misunderstandings about the Yoshiwara Flower District.

And now looking at Spider Teacher, she seems a bit intrigued, so isn't it possible for Ibuki Oiran to become her master's wife? She perked up her ears, ready to listen to more introductions from Aunt Miko.

"The so-called vine woman is actually a very inhumane practice in the Flower Street. Although it has been officially abolished for many years, there are always some pleasure quarters secretly cultivating them."

At this, Yae Miko also showed a somewhat disgusted expression.

"You all know the pattern of talent inheritance among witches, right?"

She asked everyone.

Dorothy and the others nodded.

What other pattern could there be, it's all about drawing cards. Randomly drawing from the talent specialty card pool of parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, with the number of draws determined by the strength of the talents.

Occasionally, a very few witches can trigger an Easter egg card pool, with the possibility of ancestral blood awakening, thus joining the card pool of a powerful ancestor or something.

"Why mention this, talent inheritance is entirely a matter of fate."

Noelle Rose looked at this old classmate with some confusion, not understanding why she would bring it up.

"No, it's not entirely about fate. While it's true that what talents a child can draw cannot be controlled, there are still ways to increase the probability of drawing excellent talents."

The blond witch shook her head.

"That's impossible. If there really were such a method, witches all over the world would go crazy. The randomness of talent inheritance has been studied long ago, completely uncontrollable... uh, wait..."

Spider Teacher instinctively denied her old classmate's words, but when she mentioned this, she suddenly remembered something, then frowned, even opening her eyes halfway, revealing black, bewitching eyes.

But before she could speak, Yae Miko nodded.

"Yes, it's exactly as you think."

"Then you all must be insane. If the Judgment Court finds out, it would be a serious crime violating the human rights of witches."

Noelle Rose was a bit shocked, her expression also held some disgust. The usually fierce spider eyes momentarily flashed with terrifying viciousness, murderous intent spreading.

Nearby, Dorothy was anxiously pulling at her ears.

What on earth is going on, can't you two riddle solvers explain a bit more clearly?

This is frustrating, really, fists are getting hard.

The homebody witch is angry, trembling, cold.

Now she nearly wanted to take out her Grand Inquisitor's Command and throw it in the faces of these two unreliable elders, using her authority to force them to reveal what exactly this matter is that mustn't be known by the Judgment Court.

Fortunately, just when she really started to reach into her pocket ready to leverage her power to question them, the blond aunt spoke again.

"The randomness of talent inheritance indeed cannot be shaken, but the strength of that inheritance card pool can certainly be altered. By finding ways to enhance the quality of the card pool, naturally the ability potential of the offspring can be raised."

"The so-called vine woman is a product under such a rule. They are meticulously cultivated mothers, picked from children already exceptionally talented, then trained only to evolve high-level specialties, never low-level ones, and so on. With each generation, selecting the best among the best, eventually a mother with top-tier talent specialty can be produced."

"The entire life of these mothers is dedicated to a single purpose, to give birth to even more excellent offspring. They are like vines nurturing fruit, sacrificing themselves to nourish the harvest. Once the fruit is ripe, they are rendered valueless. That is the so-called vine woman."
