Otaku Witch

"Of course."

Faced with Galahad’s invitation, Dorothy nodded without hesitation. She also wanted to see what culinary skills the chief of the Dragon King Palace’s Imperial Kitchen possessed.

Although she wasn’t very satisfied with the "classroom atmosphere" of the Imperial Kitchen, it’s worth mentioning that, aside from a lack of "culinary heart," the pure culinary skills of the Imperial Chefs here were impeccable. Especially the skills of the head chefs, which even the homebody witch had to acknowledge as "not bad at all."

With Galahad, who stood above the head chefs, Dorothy expected his skills would pleasantly surprise her as well.

Well, Dorothy did quite enjoy tasting others’ culinary crafts. Even though others’ skills fell short compared to her culinary arts, there were no rules stating that only perfect dishes constituted good cuisine.

Everyone has their favorite flavors. Some love sweets, some prefer sour, some like it mild, and some enjoy strong flavors; these are very personal matters.

Therefore, nothing in this world could be a single dish that satisfies everyone’s taste. It’s about finding the best match for individual taste.

If culinary skills were scored out of 100, then Dorothy’s creations might reach a perfect score. Realistically, a dish achieving a score of 60 is already deemed delicious and edible.

If possible, it’s naturally better for the score to be higher. However, if it can’t be improved, that’s okay. One doesn’t suddenly find a dish scored at 90 to be bad just because they’ve tasted one that’s a 100. It’s still delicious.

Just like how Dorothy is considered the Face of God, yet it doesn’t stop her from thinking that her sisters around her are rare beauties.

The homebody witch possesses a pair of eyes that discover beauty readily, and her range of acceptance is quite broad. Similarly, she enjoys different flavors and has a skilled palate to appreciate them. As long as a dish is not truly inedible, she’s interested in trying it.

Moreover, for her, more than the pure taste of culinary skills, she preferred to taste the distinct "culinary heart" imbued in each person’s work.

Just like how a skilled swordsman can communicate through their sword; a duel reveals the opponent’s inner self—culinary heart tells no lies.

So, come on, Miss Galahad, let us connect through our culinary arts.

"Then if you don’t mind, please taste my craft as well."

Dorothy replied.

"I would certainly love that."

Galahad did not refuse, clapping her hands in joy as she agreed.

"Since that’s the case, shall we prepare together then? Do we need to settle on a specific dish?"

The pure and petite Knight asked.

"Lord Galahad, we’re not having a competition, just exchanging skills. Better to go with the flow, being too serious might affect the savor of the food later."

Dorothy shook her head and said this.

Upon hearing this, Galahad’s eyes brightened. She appreciated her sister-in-arms more and more.

Well, as one of the first generation Knights of the Round Table, she is naturally also a Dragon Head. Yet, although all the Dragon Heads are reincarnations of Emora’s Soul Shard, they reached a consensus at the first Round Table meeting that "we are all Emora."

But, after all, the Dragon Heads aren’t purely soul shards. In their respective reincarnations, they absorbed other souls to complete themselves, so they each have distinct personalities and preferences.

Thus, while the Dragon Heads are like incarnations of Emora, they are more like a family, mutually trusting one another and never betraying one another unconditionally.

This aligns with the image of the Dragon King as a Thousand-Eyed Hundred-Headed Dragon.

Each of those heads has its thoughts and preferences, but they share one body, one identity, and have common ideals and goals.

Finding common ground while accepting differences is the basic principle of the Round Table. The Knights of the Round Table are like siblings and fellow companions.

However, even if differences exist, it would inevitably give rise to some doubts.

Galahad didn’t know if other Dragon Heads had such concerns, but she sometimes overthought things herself.

The "common" aspect of the Round Table is Emora’s deeply imprinted resentment and regret on their souls. The previous, mediocre life yearned for strength, desired changes, hoping for perfect endings to stories.

This obsession is so intense that, even after countless reincarnations, it subconsciously influenced and drove the Dragon Heads.

Of course, before Emora’s Soul was activated inside them, their desires focused solely on strength and happiness, occasionally dreaming strange dreams. These dreamt memories weren’t clear, but that old church, the beautiful maiden in dreams, and the warmth of sunlight in winter captivated them.

After Nidhogg rose and summoned the Dragon Heads, assisting them in activating Emora’s Soul Shard within, those blurry dreams became clear, and everyone truly realized what they pursued.

Doubtlessly, Galahad worked hard for the sake of that obsession. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to become a Knight of the Round Table back then.

Well, although she wasn’t entirely willing to join initially, she couldn’t quite refuse Nidhogg.
