Otaku Witch

"Come on, Sophia, what are you doing?"

Hearing the words of the Pure White Witch, Dorothy’s group in the box felt a rush of numbness.

She was just afraid that His Majesty the Dragon King would notice her, yet her housekeeper immediately turned around and sold her out, leaving her speechless as to what to say.

But at this moment, it wasn’t just the homebody witch criticizing Sophia’s decision; the audience outside was even more anxious.

"Come on, Miss Sophia, even if you’re love-struck, you can’t act this way!"

"Foolish, such a waste! Do you understand what opportunity you squandered?"

"Goodness, you use an opportunity to make a wish to His Majesty the Dragon King just to send a birthday wish to the young lady? Just to earn a smile from a beauty, you disregard everything, huh?"

"Foolish! What’s with the birthday wish? Just directly wish to win over the young lady! Having His Majesty the Dragon King grant you a marriage would work too!"

...

The audience members were all jumping around anxiously. Previously, they were envious, jealous, and resentful of the Pure White Witch for getting such a precious wish-making opportunity, and now they were hating her for not understanding how to make a wish, just too irrational.

However, Sophia clearly didn’t care about the audience’s opinions; she knew exactly what she wanted.

Since she had already decided that winning the championship was for celebrating the young lady’s birthday, then no matter how precious the prize was, she wouldn’t change her mind.

As for using the wish to ask for strength, power, wealth, or beauty.

Heh, those things aren’t so hard to obtain for her now; she has the confidence and ability to achieve everything little by little on her own, without relying on others’ gifts.

As for the Pure White Witch’s determination, even Nidhogg himself was somewhat moved, causing him to reconfirm once more.

"Are you sure you want to use this opportunity just to throw a birthday party for your lady? It’s really unnecessary if you only want me to offer a blessing; I already wished her well when I arrived."

Yes, indeed, when she had just made her appearance earlier, she was following the crowd’s cheers and did say "Happy birthday, young lady."

"I am very sure, Your Excellency. Please throw a unique birthday celebration for my lady."

Even when facing His Majesty the Dragon King’s second confirmation, Sophia had no intention of wavering.

She certainly knew she was wasting a huge encounter, one that should allow her strength to skyrocket. But so what.

Encounters missed can be found again; after all, for someone of her Divination Department, stumbling upon an encounter isn’t difficult. But having His Majesty the Dragon King personally host a birthday party for the young lady is truly rare.

Even if she herself didn’t understand what was so happy about birthdays, she hoped the young lady could be happy.

Nidhogg: "...."

Looking at the firm Pure White Witch, even someone as great as the Dragon King found himself temporarily speechless.

Nonetheless, she had to admit she kind of admired this little fellow.

Actually, her appearance today was merely to fish in troubled waters and congratulate Dorothy for a bit, so as soon as she appeared she had already offered her blessings, and hadn’t prepared to do more.

After all, two pairs of eyes were watching her from above; utilizing home advantage for a little sneaky maneuver is reasonable, but any more than that, and those two fellows unable to attend the birthday party might really start fuming.

However, now, due to Sophia’s request, it seems she had a lot more room to maneuver.

Yes, Denisha Teacher, Little Artie, you both saw it, right? This wasn’t my own intention; it’s what she asked me to do for Dorothy’s birthday.

Nidhogg thought so to herself.

This unexpected delight truly made her feel like a winner.

To this, she could only say, "Well done, Sophia."

Even if her heart was blossoming with joy, Nidhogg’s expression remained calm, even showing a hint of regret for the young novice not knowing to cherish a growing opportunity.

"Alright, if you’re insistent, then as you wish, I’ll host the most unforgettable and grand birthday banquet for your young lady."

She said this while suppressing the corners of her lips with her unbeatable buoyancy of combat and magic skills.

Yes, good girl, since you’re so sensible, I’ll make sure to double up on opportunities for you afterward, straight up guaranteeing you’ll take off.

His Majesty the Dragon King looked at the smiling Pure White Witch opposite him and thought so to himself.

Of course, in the next moment, Nidhogg could already feel those two gazes turning sharp.

One gaze came from the God King’s Palace.

On that lofty Divine Throne, Denisha, almost like an Executor of Heavenly Justice, first helplessly looked at Sophia, but didn’t blame this clueless "daughter," then simply squinted her eyes looking at her favorite student.

Indeed, Nidhogg, or should I call you Emora, you are the one hiding deepest with your thick eyebrows and big eyes.

The other gaze came from the Demon King’s Palace.

Artie, who was indulging in eating and drinking initially, instantly flipped the table in front of her, she widened her eyes looking at her favorite teacher, her gaze full of questioning.

My Dragon King Teacher, aren’t we supposed to deal with the God King Teacher’s cohorts together? And now you’re stabbing me in the back? I, King of Conspiracies, am getting stabbed in the back? Don’t I have my dignity?

Hmm, were it not for the fact that she’d surely lose in a frontal assault, Artie would have already charged over.
