Otaku Witch

Audrey’s guidance was unexpectedly effective.

The Little Fox not only had excellent eyesight that could see through the poisonous mists, but her nose was also incredibly strong.

Well, as impolite as it might sound, foxes are indeed canines, and as the King among foxes, the Nine-Tailed Fox’s sense of smell is far superior to any hound, allowing Audrey to clearly distinguish how many dragon beasts have passed by in this vicinity and when exactly they did.

"Senior Sister, in fact, I’ve previously seen a gem made from the eye of a Chicken Snake Dragon, so I’m familiar with the scent. There’s definitely a Chicken Snake Dragon here in this valley, I can smell them. However, the scent here is a bit faint, probably left a week ago, so the dragon group should still be some distance away from us, but I’ll track them down."

Audrey happily wagged her fluffy, nine large tails, her fox ears twitching as she looked at Dorothy with sparkling eyes and said.

As she looked at her Junior Sister who practically had the expression "Am I not amazing? Senior Sister, why aren’t you praising me?" written all over her face, Dorothy naturally reached out with a smile to rub the Little Fox’s head, then sincerely praised her.

"Thanks to you, we didn’t have to take a much longer route. Audrey, you really helped out big time."

Yes, although as the Dragon Witch, the Homebody Witch’s sense of smell was also great, and she was a Dragon Chef with incredible skill in discerning scents, plus she knew a good number of tracking spells, making tracing prey not too troublesome.

Yet the kid was working so hard and indeed did an excellent job, Dorothy wouldn’t have done much better herself, so how could she not praise her?

Especially for a child like Audrey who struggles with social anxiety, she needs a lot of praise to slowly build her confidence, eventually overcoming her inner fears.

"Mmm, mmm..."

The Little Fox showed a comfortable expression immediately upon receiving praise from her favorite Senior Sister, her tails wagging furiously as though they could become helicopter blades.

"Senior Sister, I’ll find the Chicken Snake Dragon group very soon."

At this moment, Audrey was filled with energy and promised with unwavering confidence.

Nothing could stop her now, not even social anxiety, let’s go!

At once, the Little Fox led the way, her delicate little nose twitching, following the faint scents lingering in the air as they began the chase.

Meanwhile, the other sisters went into alert mode, each drawing their wands, starting to vigilantly guard the surroundings.

Though they were the Hunters today, this Ranch World was a corner of the Dragon Realm, and the dragon beasts here were far from powerless; if they became arrogantly complacent like they’re just on a casual outing, they might find themselves on the other end of the hunt.

Just like the local Dragon-person’s special legacy profession name, Monster Hunter—it’s hard to say whether the ’hunt’ is a verb or a noun.

Only Mother Dragon and Mavis remained relaxed; as rulers of the world, their stroll through this Ranch World was just a real outing, with no sense of danger.

Mother Dragon smiled watching the little witches’ performances, nodding in appreciation of their carefulness.

Meanwhile, the Time Dragon Witch mostly kept her eyes on Lord, occasionally sneaking glances at Dorothy, especially lingering her gaze on the rounded belly of the Homebody Witch.

She had been holding back for quite a while, really wanting to ask about the child in the tummy of this young lady. Isn’t she just sixteen? Someone is committing a crime here, such a beast, to strike at such a small child. And she was fine a few days ago, so how come her belly’s so big since going to the palace? This speed is not reasonable and truly scary to think about.

Mavis really wanted to ask but didn’t dare to; she felt stifled.

However, Lady Euphilia seemed to always want an heir, and the young lady herself was unwilling, so having a little version to fulfill Lady Euphilia’s desire seemed nice.

Thinking this way, Mavis felt slightly delighted again.

Though, if possible, she really wanted to tell Lady Euphilia that she could also help give birth to a small version for her Senior Sister to play with.

But never mind, she couldn’t bring herself to say this; after all, Lady Euphilia was so perfect. Despite her effort, she still lacked the confidence to match her.

Oh dear, the Senior Sister’s perfect lineage would be terrible if tainted by mine.

Of course, just thinking about this made the Time Dragon Witch seethe with rage. Her Senior Sister’s perfect lineage had already been tainted by that despicable, weak human man, and Mavis only regretted her lack of power to reverse time and stop her Senior Sister’s past dealings.

Due to the same sort of anger there, the Time Dragon Witch also held real grievances against the young miss’s semi-witch status carrying inferior human bloodline, especially since she had the nerve to refuse becoming her Senior Sister’s heir. Does she not understand the extent of wealth she’s turning down?
