Otaku Witch

However, no one felt there was a problem with this. After all, setting aside Ibuki Taiyu's famed beauty as the most beautiful woman in Japan, her identity as the Master of Yoshiwara was already quite enticing.

She was incredibly wealthy, and furthermore, a powerful woman. Securing her alliance would grant you vast wealth, an information hub and media center, and a top-level personal bodyguard.

Moreover, Ibuki Taiyu was a vine woman, an exemplary mother. She herself was a priceless treasure, and offspring with her would ensure the family lineage continued.

This is the real key, because to those ancient families with long histories, an excellent heir is more precious than any treasure, as it represents the furtherance of the family's legacy.

Thus, despite the fact that Ibuki Taiyu's reception banquet was supposedly meant only for the local people of Japan, in reality, there were not only locals who came; many foreigners also arrived.

Mia was one of those foreigners.

Even though she herself had no interest in beautiful courtesans, having already found her heart's desire, and her eyes were filled with this Golden Princess whom she would love for her entire life.

However, regrettably, even the future richest woman in the Witch World couldn't avoid certain things, like marriage urgings from family elders.

This was the terrifying spell that single people couldn't escape.

Though Mia was only 22 years old this year, and theoretically still young, not needing to rush to consider marriage matters, there was no choice. She was about to graduate from the academy, after all.

In the traditional witch parents' eyes, if you're done with school and don't need to worry about job issues, then why not quickly find someone to marry? Rather than idle around, it's better to hurry up and have a child for us to enjoy.

In the witch families, many get married right after graduation. Mia's mothers being indulgent and allowing her until 22 was already a great favor. Otherwise, her marriage agreement might have been settled even before she was born.

"Sigh, thankfully the Little Fairy doesn't know about this, otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to handle it."

Sitting at the first seat to the left closest to the main seat, the Golden Princess worried secretly within.

This was a "matchmaking banquet," organized by her family for her, where rejecting was not an option.

Even though she was very resistant to it, her mothers maintained their stance firmly; there was no negotiating it.

Even after learning their daughter had a beloved, the two mothers took turns saying things like "just look, it never hurts to look" and "a mere courtesan won't qualify for a formal wife anyway, it won't interfere with Mia's love life," and similar things.

Anyway, Mia's head was left spinning from hearing it, and she ultimately had no choice but to come. After all, passing down the family bloodline was a duty and obligation she couldn't escape, and even for the top-tier force that Golden Country is, a top vine woman secured openly was quite tempting.

Of course, this didn't stop Mia from deciding to perform poorly on purpose.

After all, I've been an obedient child and attended the matchmaking banquet, but they didn't like me. You can't force something like that. Isn't it only natural that an esteemed Peak Witch wouldn't be interested in a little Great Witch like me?

Although this kind of "failure" might lower the internal family evaluation of Mia as an heir, the Golden Princess was fearless. What could the Elders' Council do, cut ties with her? If they actually did, it's no big deal. She'd directly join the Little Fairy and work as their treasury manager.

Mia had full confidence her Little Fairy would undoubtedly become a notable figure in the Witch World in the future; at that point, maybe Golden Country would proudly recognize her as the "Abandoned Woman."

Although the Little Fairy might not have this confidence, Mia did. Don't ask why; it's love. Her Little Fairy is the best, no arguments accepted. Anyone who dared to argue would get a good thrashing.

"Besides, top vine women, I already have one, alright."

Recalling the attributes exchanged during Witch's Night when they exchanged character cards, Mia was filled with happiness thinking of the Little Fairy's profile.

She already liked the Little Fairy very much, and now she likes them even more.

So....

The Golden Princess boredly sat at the banquet table, looking at the various seats, some filled, some not yet occupied, and sincerely sent blessings from her heart.

"Good luck everyone, I believe you can definitely win the beauty's heart."

Just....

Shortly after sending her blessings, she regretted it, as she saw two very familiar figures walk in through the door.

It was her Little Fairy and the Little Fairy's fox pendant.

For a moment, Mia wondered if she was hallucinating due to severe lack of Little Fairy energy after not seeing them for two days. However, after rubbing her eyes, the illusion didn't disappear.

Which means this was truly her Little Fairy, but why did Little Fairy show up in this sort of place?

Initially, Mia was overjoyed, but soon felt a bit anxious.

After all, nothing could be more terrifying than being caught red-handed by your beloved in a brothel.

This stupidly scared Mia into almost hiding her face behind the dinner plate in front of her.

However, with her distinctive voluptuous figure and the shiny gold luxurious dress she wore, it was obvious she was trying to hide but unsuccessfully.
