Otaku Witch

Honestly, this meal didn't quite satisfy Dorothy.

It's not that the food at the oiran banquet wasn't delicious; nor were the ingredients not fresh, being from Fukushima or having a Russian flavor; the skills of the kitchen chefs were also adequate.

The reason the homebody witch was somewhat dissatisfied was purely because these dishes had no surprises for her.

The homebody witch wanted to eat authentic Japanese island local specialties, but today's banquet served a table of "Witch of the Forest brand Japanese cuisine."

"Tsk, what's this all about, where's the promised secluded island? Why do you have witch powder here too, and even on such an important occasion, you don't serve local dishes? Is there no one left in Japan's culinary world? Pull yourselves together, don't lose so completely."

The homebody witch sighed inwardly, grumbling angrily about their lack of effort.

While it's good to be so well-known, being famous to this extent was a bit frightening, and it also made life a little dull since everywhere she went, she saw her own creations, which reduced the joy of traveling considerably.

That said, she didn't waste the food; although the banquet chef's skills naturally couldn't compare to hers, these ingredients were all high-grade and rich in Magic Power, which could effectively help her enhance it, and not utilizing them would indeed be a waste.

Furthermore, there were quite a few dishes at this banquet that emphasized the original taste of the ingredients, like sashimi, which were quite tasty.

Of course, the key point was that during this meal, she didn't even need to lift a finger herself.

"Ah...."

The beautiful maid beside her held chopsticks, lifting a piece of sashimi, and with her other hand supporting it from below, brought the fish to Dorothy's mouth. Even though this maid appeared cold at a glance, she slightly opened her lips, making a cute sound like coaxing a child to eat.

Deep down, the homebody witch felt quite ashamed of this decadent treatment of being fed. She really wanted to refuse loudly, but there was no choice; she was currently disguising herself as the Fairy King, and her Martial Soul Incarnation was very competent.

Thus, Dorothy ultimately opened her mouth quite naturally, then bit into the chopsticks, her sharp teeth biting off the delicious fish slice from the tip, even sucking on the chopsticks, playfully licking the tip with her tongue, trying to prevent the maid from easily withdrawing them, all in an attempt to make the maid show some other kinds of expressions.

Unfortunately, the maid was unimpressed; she remained expressionless like a doll.

Just as she had said before, although she appeared human, she was essentially a sword, a merciless killing tool, and tools did not require excessive emotion.

It's just....

Looking at Miss Red Shadow with such an expression, Dorothy glanced at the other tables.

Not all the maids were as aloof and rigid as Miss Red Shadow beside her. For example, the big sister serving Aunt Miko was already lying completely in her embrace, the big sister serving Audrey was teasing the shy Little Fox in delight, and the big sister serving Spider Teacher was quite intellectual and elegant, which surprisingly suited the teacher's taste.

In short, everyone seemed to be getting along quite well with their respective maids.

"Indeed, each sword is a unique existence; it's only natural that they have different personalities, but mine seems particularly pure."

Thought Dorothy to herself.

Just a moment ago, the bald Loli twins had just announced the "initial meeting" test for this oiran banquet—the Demon Blade Test.

The rules of this challenge were rather simple: everyone just needed to subdue their own Demon Sword Princess before the second oiran banquet next week.

Yes, all the maids present were a special existence known as "Demon Sword Princess," they were both human and sword, a unique forging technique that Dorothy had never seen before, and she found it quite novel.

Dorothy had some knowledge of Alchemy as well, but this magical technique that could create "sword spouses" was truly a first for her.

However, speaking of Alchemy, the real authority was Senior Mia.

Thus, the homebody witch curiously looked over to the rich senior at the next table, who was now playing with a giant sword that looked as if it was forged entirely of Gold.

"Uh this...."

Dorothy glanced around the senior's surroundings but did not see the maid with the grand demeanor who was supposed to serve the senior.

Evidently, Senior Mia had swiftly completed the first challenge of the oiran banquet, having already subdued her own Demon Sword Princess.

And seemingly sensing her beloved's gaze, Senior Mia, who had been engrossed with her sword, immediately raised her head without lingering, then smiled as she met Dorothy's eyes.

"This seems to be a mysterious power from the East, though it might be slightly related to the Alchemy in Magic, it's quite different, and I can't decipher much."

The Golden Princess addressed Dorothy's unspoken question without her needing to ask, offering this response.
