Chapter 36: Awkward Mother and Daughter

On the other side, after releasing the illusion on the illusory magic words "Match Over" above the arena, and waiting for a long time without seeing the words disappear, Dorothy finally realized that she really hadn't been hit by any illusion.

She had truly won this match.

"Tsk, was I let off the hook?"

Recalling the wrong feeling when she hit Sophie Liya just now, Dorothy couldn't help but click her tongue.

So that guy just now was actually prepared to use 10,000 mana to fight me? Then that baffling armor-taking operation could also be understood. Was this guy unwilling to take advantage of me in equipment?

Hmm, I always feel like I've been looked down upon. Or is this the so-called pride of angel witches?

But it doesn't matter; anyway, it was indeed me who won in the end, that's enough.

"Good, now I don't have to worry about any twenty-year agreement. I'm free."

Too lazy to care about those details, Dorothy cheered excitedly in her heart.

At least now she didn't have to worry about being caught by Yufillia to the Dragon Kingdom for training. She didn't want to go to those dangerous battlefields to risk her life; just thinking about it was tiring.

It was just that although she seemed to be able to return to the rhythm of her happy homebody life in the past, Dorothy thought about it and decided to forget it.

The reason she was a homebody in her past life was because reality was too boring. Every day, besides work, there was socializing. Those dull jobs and hypocritical and annoying interpersonal relationships made her heart tired, and she just wanted to escape reality.

But this life is different. The real Witch World is much more interesting than the illusory Mana Web world. This world has all kinds of magical magic, all kinds of fantasy races. Those things that only existed in fantasy in the past life are facts here, so it seems that going out for a walk is not bad.

The world is so big, shouldn't you go out and see it?

Anyway, a witch's lifespan is a thousand years long, and if she can grow into a Great Witch, she can become even longer, almost eternal. In this life, she has enough time to experience everything.

Even if she finds out later that the outside world is not as interesting and beautiful as she imagined, that's fine; it won't be too late to go home and be a homebody then.

Witches are inherently such a free race, and their ability for endless evolution was born based on this heart that yearns for freedom.

"Then, let's temporarily take the promise made to Yufillia before as the goal."

Dorothy decided so in her heart.

Her previous statement wasn't made up on the spot to persuade this overbearing biological mother; that statement was indeed what she thought in her heart.

If she could, she really wanted to have like-minded friends. If it weren't for the difficulty of finding a soulmate, who would be willing to stay at home and surf the internet every day?

She also really wanted a territory of her own. After all, being able to have a house of her own was already her obsession for two lifetimes, and the so-called witch territory was just the ultimate form of a house.

She liked researching magic and hoped she could become stronger, but this strength was not to oppress others or to kill more efficiently. She just simply liked the feeling of becoming better day by day. Her power was just to be able to better protect herself when necessary.

Even without the influence of her father Adam, the memories of Dorothy's past life destined her to be a person with a gentle personality. That ancient country that gave birth to her and raised her was very great. Even if she might have left its embrace forever now, that beautiful life that could be engraved in her soul would never be forgotten.

Dorothy was a very pragmatic person. She knew very well that it was impossible to change the whole world with her own power. She didn't have that much ambition and courage to be any savior for all the weak races in the world. The rules of the Witch World were not her turn to point fingers at as a little witch.

But if it were just in her own witch territory, then she could naturally try her best to reproduce the beauty in her memories.

A witch lord has the right to decide all the rules within her territory, just like you can freely decorate your home. Even if others don't like your home's decoration style, or even hate it, they have no right to point fingers, as long as you are happy yourself.

Hmm, the most beautiful future Dorothy could think of was just like this. She was never a greedy person, and could even be said to have low desires and be easily satisfied.

Her wish had always been very simple from beginning to end: just wanting a warm and beautiful home, being able to have a few family members and friends who understand and support each other, and then everyone can happily and joyfully spend every day together.

Is this wish too much?

Not too much at all.

In short, let's work hard toward completing this goal next.

After making up her mind, Dorothy felt much more relaxed. She couldn't help but start looking forward to her school life after reporting to the Witch Academy later.

......... Little witch flying on a broom.............

Ten minutes later, Dorothy sat obediently on the soft sofa, looking at the surrounding environment a bit nervously.

She was now in a very luxuriously decorated room. All around her were furniture crafted from various precious extraordinary woods. What she was sitting on was a sofa sewn from the fur of high-level magical beasts. Hanging on the wall were antique oil paintings from famous masters. The air was filled with the quiet and peaceful fragrance emitted after burning precious spiritual spices.......

Ah, all of this was full of the luxurious smell of money.

It was just that if she turned her head to look out the window, then the high-speed moving scenery outside the window showed that this was not a house at all, but a magical carriage that was driving.

This was exactly the kind of luxury magical car that Dorothy dreamed of buying when she had money in the future, with built-in space expansion that could be used as a recreational vehicle.

It was just that the luxury level of this one was something she didn't even dare to dream of in the past. Not to mention anything else, just the eight unicorn pegasi pulling the carriage outside were money-burning goods that Dorothy couldn't afford to raise even if she sold herself.

High-level magical beasts are very difficult to serve; every meal requires eating spiritual materials, and they are notoriously money-burning. Although the vitality of these things is also very strong, they won't die even if raised poorly, but not being able to eat enough will affect their future upgrade and evolution.

In short, poor people shouldn't touch them; don't raise good things poorly, that would be a waste of heavenly treasures.

Dorothy even suspected that just the food expenses for those few unicorn pegasi outside for one day were more than her pocket money for the past year.

"How is it? Do you like this car? Then it's yours."

Opposite Dorothy, Yufillia, looking at her daughter's surprised look, felt that she understood, as she was distressed about not knowing how to communicate with her daughter. She opened her mouth and offered money.

Dorothy: "......."

The young witch was also stunned by the opponent's grand display of wealth. But inexplicably, she had a sense of déjà vu, as if a JK girl was being kept by a nouveau riche adult who was throwing money around...

Cough, cough, cough, what are you thinking? This is my biological mother.

Dorothy shook her head, throwing away the inexplicable distracting thoughts in her mind, and at the same time simply refused the gift from this "straight" biological mother.

"No need. Even if you give it to me, I won't be able to afford to raise it later. And I will be in school for many years to come. This kind of car is too high-profile in school. I'll just ride a broom to get around."

And Yufillia, who had finally found a topic but was refused by her daughter, immediately became dejected.

The atmosphere between mother and daughter fell into a silent awkwardness for a while.

Now they were on their way to report to the Witch Academy. Originally, in Dorothy's plan, she should have gone to report to school with her sister Alice.

But because of Yufillia's appearance, the family suddenly decided to hand over this task of sending her to school to this biological mother.

But these two—one is an internet-addicted homebody used to social anxiety and autism, and the other is a dragon queen used to being overbearing and tough—they really didn't seem to know how to communicate and get along equally, peacefully, and harmoniously with a biological relative who really couldn't be considered very familiar, and could only look at each other in silence, feeling uncomfortable in various ways.

"Sigh......"

The angel witch between the two sighed helplessly, opening her mouth to break the environment that was so awkward that her toes were about to dig out a floating island castle.

"Young Lady, do you have any plans for your upcoming Witch Academy life? Which academy are you planning to apply to?"

Sophie Liya, who was acting as student council president, helped find a topic. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
