Otaku Witch-Chapter 466 : 394. Breakfast Mini Game_2
"Morning, Dorothy."
As the witch hat that had been zzzing on the pillow woke up, senior Fanny hopped onto the homebody witch's head, ready to continue her deep slumber.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
However, Dorothy couldn't tolerate such selfish behavior. She grabbed the hat and tossed it toward the washroom.
"Go freshen up."
"Hmph, foolish Dorothy, do you not know that someone as great as I am already has a Pure Body? Freshening up is utterly meaningless, as someone as perfect as I can never be dirtied."
Hat Senior Sister muttered her dissatisfaction, but still obediently scampered into the washroom.
"Uh, what's this?"
While waiting for senior Fanny to freshen up, Dorothy sat down at the vanity, originally preparing for her daily makeup routine to uglify herself, but then she noticed a small reverse cross pendant next to her black-rimmed glasses, with a rather sinister-looking horned demon portrait at its center.
Dorothy was sure she didn't own such jewelry; after all, she rarely wore such accessories. However, after sorting through her memories, she realized.
Well, it was a gift from the Fairy King who had just come back.
After the interrogation was completed and the results were known, the Fairy King had prepared to return, but upon opening the door of the interrogation room, she was greeted by the Mother Superior and an unfamiliar Demon Witch eavesdropping around the corner.
Only after an introduction from Mother did she learn that the mysterious Demon Witch was codenamed Lord Pan, the Great Judge from the Judgment Court of the Demon King Faction.
The reverse cross pendant was a meet-and-greet gift from Grand Judge Pan.
The Fairy King had intended to decline the gift, as she wasn't used to accepting presents without reason, but before she could even voice her refusal, Lord Pan, who seemed very amiable, narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, the Home Martial Soul wisely kept quiet.
It's hard to decline a gift from an elder.
"Wow, it's actually a life-saving resurrection item. Is this the standard for big shots' meeting gifts? Truly lovely."
Dorothy briefly studied the pendant and soon understood its purpose, which left her somewhat surprised.
It was indeed a generous gift.
While the Witch World had the Underworld System that allowed Witches to dream of resurrection after death, resurrection wasn't without cost. Most Witches simply couldn't afford to come back to life, and at least Dorothy currently couldn't pay the steep resurrection fee.
Besides the official resurrection means of the Underworld System, many big shots also had their special methods of revival. They would craft resurrection items to carry with them, just in case.
This reverse cross pendant was one such resurrection item. You only needed to input a little Magic Power and bind it; then, if the bound person died, the resurrection ritual within the pendant would activate.
Naturally, these privately crafted resurrection items simply weren't as reliable as the official ones in terms of quality assurance, the resurrection effects, the means of resurrection, or whether there would be any side effects—it all depended on the craftsmanship of the item's creator.
An item made by a big shot might be even more effective than the official ones, but if it's a crappy product, then you're on your own.
This reverse cross pendant was undoubtedly a high-level item from a big shot, capable of resurrecting targets with a mana value below 500,000 Mana and offering the best effect of spot-on full-state revival.
If such a resurrection item were to be sold on the market, it would be truly invaluable, easily worth a small domain.
Big shots are indeed big shots; even the casual gifts they hand out are so impressive.
But, as Dorothy fiddled with the precious pendant in her hand, she didn't immediately input Magic Power to bind it. Instead, after a moment of thought, she began to modify and improve the item.
....
Half an hour later, when Sophia emerged from her room, she was greeted by the familiar scent of food as soon as she opened the door.
"Morning, Sophia. How about dumplings for breakfast today? Filled with Abyssal Demon Bull meat."
She saw the miss, as usual, preparing breakfast.
"I'm not picky, Miss. Whatever you make is fine."
As someone who freeloaded meals, the Pure White Witch was very agreeable.
"Alrighty, just wait a bit; it'll be ready soon."
The homebody witch answered with a chuckle.
Soon, breakfast was served, and upon seeing the two plates of fragrant dumplings, Sophia couldn't help but swallow saliva. But just as she was about to take a bowl, Dorothy stopped her.
"Don't rush. Did you know that in the homeland of this dish, there's a special tradition where one dumpling in the pot is filled with an extra ingredient, and whoever gets the spiked dumpling will have good luck occur?"
"So, let's have a little contest today to see who's luckier. You've got to choose your bowl carefully, or don't blame me if you lose."
The homebody witch said with pride.
"Hmm, to be fair, I'll let you choose first."
Pure White Witch looked at the overconfident Miss with disdain.
She was a witch from the School of Prophecy, in control of the Power of Fate. Playing such a luck-based game with her was practically suicide, wasn't it?
"I'll take this bowl."
Sophia didn't even bother to use magic, she simply followed her instinct and picked the bowl she had planned to take from the beginning.
"Fine, then this is the bowl I'll take."
Dorothy, who also didn't cheat with magic, didn't say much either. She chose a different bowl.
Then the two began to enjoy their breakfast.
Soon enough, the Pure White Witch across from her frowned and spat out a tiny crucifix pendant from her mouth.
"Is this what you call good luck?"
Sophia covered her teeth, speaking somewhat speechlessly.
"Tsk, you actually found it."
Dorothy was also stunned and then spoke somewhat reluctantly.
"Alright, you win this time."
There was a bit of defiance on her face.
"Hehe, I won indeed."
Seeing the missus respond like that, Sophia laughed too. She liked to see the missus's unconvinced yet helpless expression.
"What's this?"
Her curiosity piqued, she examined the little crucifix pendant, but after looking for a while, she realized it seemed to be just an ordinary pendant.
"This is a lucky charm I made. You can carry it with you."
This was Dorothy's reply.
"Then, miss, your craft needs improvement. Clearly, there is no Power of Fate blessing it."
As always, the Pure White Witch spoke sarcastically to her own missus. However, despite her words, she promptly got up, washed the pendant in the kitchen, and then immediately wore it around her neck.
After returning to the dining table, she touched the pendant and erupted in magic power, intending to bless this ordinary pendant with a bit of the Power of Fate to turn it into a true lucky charm.
But just...
She had just started channeling magic power, not having cast a spell, when the pendant absorbed the energy, and her face changed dramatically.
"Miss, you're tricking me, causing trouble. How can you give me something as precious as this?"
With the magic power bonded, she understood the truth of the pendant and was quite upset as she questioned the missus across from her.
Resurrection Items were incredibly valuable, especially such a high-level one. No matter how she thought about it, it was something the missus needed more than herself...
"Alright, you've already bound it, so it's no use saying much more. Besides, I have one myself."
Dorothy replied with a victorious, cheerful smile.
That previous prophecy had really made her uneasy, and she had been thinking about securing a resurrection method just in case, but had no leads. She didn't expect a Resurrection Item to come her way like this.
Well, now she felt reassured, fulfilled.
"You..."
Sophia looked at the missus, who was carefree and heartless, shaking with anger.
After a long time, she finally calmed down again.
"Miss, are you sure you have one, and you're not lying to me?"
She asked, still not entirely at ease.
"Of course, I never lie to anyone."
Dorothy answered as such.
And indeed, she wasn't lying; after all, senior Fanny had promised to give her a chance at resurrection before.
"That's good."
The Pure White Witch finally felt a little relieved, but she was still very angry.
Was the missus foolish, who would ever complain about having too many lives? Resurrection Items were naturally better the more you had. This idiot...
Her teacher had tasked her with taking good care of the missus, so how had things ended up the opposite?
...The Angel Witch was cold and shaking with rage...
