Otaku Witch

The reason Little Fox was able to rampage all the way to rank 66 in this tournament was thanks to it being a youth division competition.

Young people are always restless and yearning for romance, and they have almost no resistance to an absolute beauty, making her charm effortless.

In the early rounds, she was able to kill indiscriminately, but later stages faced true geniuses with resolute hearts which became a bit challenging.

However, even those monstrous geniuses who made it into the top 50 couldn’t fully resist her charm. Audrey simply lost out due to a lack of combat experience and not using her family’s forbidden techniques; otherwise, making it into the top ten wouldn’t just be a dream.

The charm techniques used by Little Fox in the arena were rather low-level, like throwing a seductive wink, dancing the Heavenly Demon Dance earnestly, or singing serious songs.

But can that earnestness even be called charm? She was simply using this to test top geniuses’ hearts, daring any true monster to withstand such small temptations.

If Audrey had used any of the forbidden techniques that can’t be aired, like the Nine-Tailed Fox’s Illusion of a Debauched Wonderland or the Succubus’ Night of Evil Frenzy, at least half of the top 50 contestants would have been wiped out.

Unfortunately, Audrey is a steadfast Pure Love War God; she wouldn’t use those moves against others, saving them for senpai in the future.

Overall, the charm strategy aims to make the opponent fond of her, eliminate their guard, and finally manage complete domination bit by bit.

When Audrey faced Alice, she casually threw a charm plus mental domination combo move, not expecting it to work given Alice had no evil thoughts toward her and could very possibly be immune to her charm.

But the result.....

Well, Little Witch did manage to exempt from the charm; her desire was like a still water, never being stirred.

The problem was Little Witch similarly set no defenses against her. The charm wasn’t even needed to max the favorability meter because they were good sisters after all.

Then Audrey’s probing use of mental domination easily imprinted itself on Alice’s soul, and by the time Little Fox realized, Little Witch had already become completely her puppet.

And then Audrey made Alice voluntarily surrender, ending the duel in 5 seconds, making it the fastest duel in this tournament.

Hence, Little Witch is still sulking even now.

Alice isn’t one to lose gracefully; she’s just embarrassed by how quick the loss was, fearing making it into the annual "weakest participant" montage, which is terribly humiliating.

Overall, their sisterly bond is turning plastic-like.

But that’s how the Spiritual School is—the one most likely to deceive you is your acquaintance; it’s the school that breeds backstab masters.

"Boohoo, sister, Audrey was so shameless and mean. I was really looking forward to a proper duel with her, but before anyone could say start, she defeated me in seconds. I’ll die of embarrassment, having no face to meet people."

Audrey was buried into Dorothy’s chest, rubbing against it and crying loudly.

After understanding the situation from the young apprentice, Dorothy merely delivered a flick to this foolish sister’s forehead.

"The Spiritual School is exactly like this, alright? You were silly to not carry any defense."

"But everyone’s like sisters, family, should family really need to guard against each other?"

Alice rubbed her forehead, where a red mark had been left, her pretty face looking pitiful.

Dorothy: "..."

Family Knight was momentarily speechless.

Although family shouldn’t guard against each other, the wise would at least possess various passive defenses, and even with the intention, it’s truly difficult to do completely without defenses.

Well, only someone with Alice’s muscle brain—or, no, her innocent heart—would be this outrageous.

Sigh, my dear sister, I must admit that you are indeed the real Family Knight.

Homebody Witch momentarily held respect for the sister in her embrace.

"Alright, you’re not wrong; it’s our mistake, keep your stance and leave the rest to sister’s devising."

Dorothy addressed Alice accordingly.

She wasn’t intending to correct Alice but was thinking of adding an automatic malice-detecting passive mind-protection curse to this foolish sister later.

That way, not only would the Little Witch’s innocent heart be protected but also she wouldn’t suffer any unexpected backstab one day.

"Alright, stop crying, anyone who teases you, your sister will handle it. Now, let’s watch the match."

She helplessly comforted the sister fearing embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Audrey enviously watched Alice’s head buried deep in senpai’s embrace; she too wanted to be cuddled by senpai so gently.

Tsk, a mistake; should have aimed for a lower rank, losing in a more pathetic way, then she too could approach senpai and seek comfort.

She regretted this decision internally.

But in the next moment, a warm hand patted her head.

"Good performance, Audrey, it must’ve been nerve-wracking to participate in such a competition."

Dorothy didn’t forget to praise the young apprentice.

Because she knew Audrey’s level of social anxiety; for someone that socially anxious to muster courage to go on stage and face heart demons, using charm spells she previously rejected, such effort was commendable and deserving of encouragement.

"Senpai..."

Just moments ago filled with slightly wicked thoughts, Little Fox seemed cleansed by the head pat, her desires evaporated, leaving behind a pure joy and happiness from being acknowledged.

Signing up for the duel tournament, appearing under so many spectators’ gaze truly used up all her courage, but she hadn’t told anyone how tough it was, and others wouldn’t understand since they didn’t face social anxiety.

Yet, senpai noticed; despite her previous busyness, she paid attention to this little detail, praising her now.

At this moment, Audrey felt all the fear and uncertainty over the past few days were inconsequential, realizing it was all worth it.

"Boohoo, senpai, being watched by so many is terrifying, and using charm spells is frightening. It always feels like those dreadfully lustful folks will pounce on me the next moment."

Little Fox ultimately broke into tears, involuntarily diving into senpai’s embrace ahead, loudly crying, seemingly wanting to release all the fear and unease from these days.

Nonetheless, senpai’s embrace was indeed warm and spacious, providing a lot of security.

Audrey after-the-fact pondered.

Dorothy wasn’t overthinking; she merely mused on Dragon Witch’s tall stature’s advantage—comforting both sisters in her arms simultaneously was a breeze, very convenient.

Positioned centrally on the sofa, with two adorable beauties to her left and right, she was indulging in the joy of having everything.

But regrettably, Homebody Witch’s thoughts soon drifted outside the window because the next match was about to begin.

With only ten participants in the finals, the matches weren’t simultaneous as before, proceeding sequentially, with only one match occurring at a time.

Arriving late, the ten-to-five matches had already transpired, and now, the second round of five-to-three was about to commence.

Homebody Witch looked up at the big screen’s event flowchart and found all five names strangely familiar.

First, of course, was Sophia.

Dorothy found their Housekeeper’s name, feeling speechless.

Five-to-three evidently meant someone was to receive a bye, and Sophia, true to being Fate’s favored daughter, received the bye, securing a spot in the top three.

The remaining four would then face off two by two.

Mia vs. Melantha.

Madeline vs. Wendy.

"Wendy? Miss Wendigo? How did she end up sneaking into the competition without even a word."

Dorothy couldn’t help but muse, feeling a bit surprised.

Next, however, is the Golden Country’s internal rivalry. Debuting shortly: Golden Princess vs. Silver Princess.

... a sisterly battle ...
