Otaku Witch

"A birthday gift for big sister?"

The moment Alice heard this topic, she perked up and proudly puffed out her chest, then eagerly raised her hand to speak.

"I’ve been ready for a long time! I make sure to prepare a gift for my sister every year."

The little witch said this with smug satisfaction.

After speaking, she cast a disdainful glance at the surrounding elder sisters who were always plotting against her big sister, as if she were a proud queen surveying her kingdom.

Yes, Alice felt that after waiting so long, she finally gained the home court advantage.

You elder sisters from the heavens, do you even understand the gold content of sisterhood that comes from growing up together? You’re just planning to celebrate my sister’s birthday once, but I’ve celebrated it with her for over a dozen times already.

Yes, yes, upperclassmen and underclassmen, now please call me Senior Alice.

The little witch was so proud she almost inflated.

Upon seeing Alice like this, everyone in the office felt that the little witch was truly adorable and a bit amusing, but they all sat upright, waiting for her gift.

After all, among everyone here, Alice was indeed the sister who had lived with Dorothy the longest, and she knew the homebody witch best, undoubtedly knowing what gift would be most suitable.

However, under everyone’s expectant gaze, Alice reached into her pocket, rummaged around, and finally raised the gift she had prepared high into the air.

"Ta-da... the latest limited edition weaponized heavy-duty broom from the [Horizon] Guild—Light Chaser 999. It’s the broom king of the year, and it’s also recognized as the best ride for the battlefield. Since my sister is going to the battlefield soon, giving her a good ride can’t go wrong."

The little witch said happily.

Yes, she hadn’t forgotten the original intention of riding with her sister on the battlefield and creating military achievements together. And recently, seeing her sister finally itching to go to the battlefield due to that Whaling Golden Contract, Alice was extremely happy.

And this broom was bought with the pocket money she had saved for many years, along with a large sum of money she unexpectedly inherited after the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families were raided. This was the highest level broom she’d longed for as a speed demon but never bought—except as a birthday gift for her sister, no matter how expensive it was, it was worth it.

Yes, although her sister now sits on a warship, there are times on the battlefield when such a large combat unit as a warship isn’t suitable for combat. So, a good broom as a ride becomes very necessary. Of course, my sister can’t always ride an ordinary broom she uses daily onto the battlefield.

A mighty general deserves a famous steed, and Alice believed her sister was invincible, so she naturally had to use the best broom.

Everyone: "..."

Everyone collectively looked at the broom in the little witch’s hand—if that thing could still be called a broom.

Rather than saying it was a broom, it was more like a heavy-duty hover bike, except this bike vaguely resembled a broom in appearance. The front "broom handle" part was equipped with handlebars, a seat, foot pedals, combat accessories, heavy armor, and a series of modules, including a lance-like prow structure at the very front.

Well, that glinting tip certainly wasn’t just for cutting through air resistance—if this thing collided at high speed, it would definitely hurt, likely shattering a person into pieces.

As for the "broom tail" part, there were a total of nine magic jet engine thrusters, and their exaggerated design, making the heavy-duty "broom handle" seem slender in comparison, indicated powerful performance.

However, they had all heard of the [Horizon] Guild—it was one of the world’s top 500 guilds, and its main industry was producing various vehicles, whether flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, including all sorts of curious vehicles like magic carriages, war chariots, and magic carpets.

But their most famous product was, of course, the flying broomstick—as the first thing that came to mind when people thought of witches was the classic image of a beautiful woman flying on a broomstick.

In fact, the Witch World’s evolution should have long since seen the phasing out of flying brooms, as the original primeval witches rode brooms due to poverty and lacked other tools for casting flight spells, so they merely grabbed any old broom to use.

Yet, in the modern era, countless flight tools have emerged to replace brooms—more comfortable magic carpets, higher-level magic carriages, and so on.

Ultimately, a broom is fundamentally a cleaning tool, not a flight tool—its design doesn’t conform to aerodynamics, and it’s genuinely uncomfortable to ride.

But despite these facts, no matter what you say, it can’t affect the absolute position of flying broomsticks as the most popular flight tool in the Witch World even after over a hundred thousand years.

Ultimately, this object has become a symbol of a witch’s identity—a flying broomstick, a witch hat, a beautiful young woman, with the classic little black cat familiar by her side—that’s what defines a witch.

In short, witches seem to have an unfathomable obsession with flying broomsticks—no matter what, they insist on riding brooms, and with their current level of alchemy, no matter how unsuitable brooms are for flying, they can rely on sheer magic power to turn it into the best flight tool.
