Otaku Witch

Chapter 131: 113. Fight openly and secretly



As night gradually enveloped the earth, it was also time for the student council to close for the day.

Sophia had already finished her work early and was ready to leave on time as soon as quitting time arrived.

Honestly, she had been somewhat anxious all day, always feeling a premonition that the lady at home would stir up some major news in her absence, which made it hard for her to settle down.

And when a witch's intuition, especially one who majored in the Divination Department like hers, was this strong, it could not be ignored.

Barely making it to the end of her shift, the Angel Witch could not wait another moment; she just wanted to go home to check things and find peace of mind.

Unfortunately, as she balanced the elegance of a Student Council President and the efficiency of hurrying home with thrice her usual speed, she ran straight into another familiar purple figure at the dock of this sky island.

Sophia: "..."

Madeline: "..."

Although the two had often bumped into each other after work, today's coincidental meeting felt particularly awkward.

On one hand, the Angel Witch felt slightly guilty because her young mistress had just disrupted someone's event, damaging their reputation; meanwhile, on the other hand, the Succubus Witch stiffened upon seeing her, as if remembering something, then unconsciously clenched her long legs, subtly shifting her enchanting posture, her cheeks flushing a bright red.

"Ahahaha, you're early today too, Madeline."

Being old acquaintances and each other's strong support, ignoring each other upon meeting would have been too much, so Sophia quickly squeezed out a slightly stiff business-like smile.

The smile on the opposing Succubus Witch's face didn't look entirely natural either; this usually straightforward, combative icelike seductress had a somewhat elusive look in her eyes today.

"Yes, President, you're quite early too. Are you in a hurry to go back and see your girlfriend?"

She asked.

At this, the Angel Witch's smile froze.

Damn those Big-mouthed Crows spreading rumors; why did everyone now assume she and that troublesome young mistress were a couple? Although she could disregard others' thoughts, Madeline was the Chairwoman of the Disciplinary Committee at Witch Academy, her own right-hand woman, so it was better to clear up certain misunderstandings.

So.....

"It's not a girlfriend; those were just rumors spread by the press. The young mistress is literally a young mistress, meaning my teacher's daughter, and taking care of her is merely a task given to me by my teacher,"

Sophia explained.

Then she saw the Succubus Witch suddenly raise her eyebrows, seeming somewhat pleased.

"Oh, is that so? That's good, that's good."

The voice of Madeline became much more open, and her seductive lips slightly curving upwards.

This made the Angel Witch's gaze sharpen suddenly.

"You seem quite happy about that, Madeline?"

Confronted in this way, the Succubus Witch stiffened again, but this time she was much more composed.

"Of course, I'm happy. She defeated me, making her a respectable opponent. I've been curious about how I never heard of such a formidable person before; turns out, she is the child of the Destruction Dragon Queen, the offspring of the Dragon King, no wonder her Combat Magic is so impressive,"

"You know me, President, I am Madeline, a martial arts warrior who loves fighting strong opponents. I actually wanted to challenge the young mistress again, but since she was rumored to be your girlfriend, it seemed improper to ask. But now that I know it was a misunderstanding, I am relieved."

The Chairwoman of the Disciplinary Committee answered openly.

Sophia: "....."

The Angel Witch intently gazed into her own familiar's purple eyes, but couldn't discern anything.

She was indeed aware of the character of her old friend who favored armor over beauty; the explanation provided was very reasonable and made complete sense.

Yet, the intuition of an angel still told her that something was amiss.

"Well, suit yourself, just go and talk directly with the lady, it's none of my business."

Although she still harbored some doubts, since everything had been clarified before, now the Angel Witch couldn't back out and say no. She didn't have the standing to oppose, so she could only suppress the faint discomfort in her heart and said so.

"Yes, I will."

At this, the Succubus Witch truly smiled, and that smile made Sophia feel as though she was not standing in front of the cold-faced Rakshasa or the Jade-faced Asura of the past, but in front of a true Succubus ready for a hunt, her smile full of charm and delight.

Sophia: "....."

It must be an illusion, this is Madeline, after all, the Disciplinary Committee Chairwoman whose mind was filled with muscles, and whose personality was notoriously old-fashioned. How could she harbor any ill intentions?

Thus the Angel Witch convinced herself.

Afterward, the two witches once again fell into silence, each mounted their brooms, and flew along the same route to the same destination.

They couldn't help it, after all, the two were neighbors living in the floors above and below each other.

Since the Student Council Island was close to the Tower of Shine, it didn't take them more than a few minutes of flying before they could clearly see their own rooms, especially the two figures who were also coincidentally on the balcony.

But....

"Miss, what are you doing, catching foxes?"

"Audrey, is this fitting for you?"

The Angel and the Succubus asked at the same time.....

Across the balcony, Dorothy, holding a fishing rod with a piece of juicy barbecued beef steak as bait, stiffened.

Downstairs, the Little Fox, who was vigorously chasing the overly fragrant steak, seized the opportunity in an instant—she snapped it up into her mouth and ate it with oil dripping all over, her face usually charming multitudes, now beaming with a foolish, foodie's content smile.

However, before she could indulge in the savory delight any longer, the sudden sound of her sister's voice caused Audrey to freeze like a statue.

On the spot, she gulped down the steak in two or three bites, then, without wiping the oil from her mouth, turned around and looked at her own sister with a smile, trying to charm her way out of the situation.

Dorothy: "....."

Sophia: "....."

Madeline: "..."

The trio fell silent for a while; then the two from the Student Council shifted their gaze from the foolish fox trying to act as if she hadn't snuck a taste of chicken and looked at Dorothy.

Consequently, the little witch subconsciously hid the fishing rod behind her back, attempting one last shot at redeeming herself.

"What if I told you I was just practicing my Apprentice's Puppetry Technique? Would you believe me?"

.....The little witch squirming in her excuses.....
