Chapter 987: 601. Demon Blade Test
Dorothy finally followed Aunt Miko to sit down at the first seat on the right near the main seat. Fortunately, the table was large and long enough, so even with the four of them, it wasn't too crowded.
However, the homebody witch was growing increasingly curious about Aunt Miko's identity. After all, not just anyone could sit at such a seat.
For example, Senior Mia, sitting next to them, certainly wasn't lacking money, but even so, she could only get the first seat on the left.
But in Japan, the right side is considered superior, so Aunt Miko's seat might be the highest in status of the whole room.
"No wonder she could leave the secluded land of Japan to study abroad; she really must have some capital,"
Dorothy thought to herself.
Moreover, as time passed, more and more guests started arriving from outside.
Each guest had an extraordinary aura. Judging from the magic power emanations from their bodies, they were all outstanding among the Great Witches. Some even approached the Peak. They were either dressed in luxurious robes or samurai-style light battle robes, surrounded by an entourage, clearly indicating their significant status. They should be big figures from Japan.
But during this process, the homebody witch keenly noticed that whether it was those dressed in samurai clothes or luxurious robes, as soon as they entered the door, they first looked in the direction of their table. However, upon seeing Aunt Miko sipping tea with a smile, everyone instinctively lowered their heads with a slightly reverent demeanor.
Still, none of this had much to do with the homebody witch. She just felt it was bothersome to be stared at constantly. Didn't they see her fellow apprentice shivering? And when would the meal start? She was really hungry.
The Hungry Witch just wanted to dig into the food.
She was genuinely curious if the authentic food of this special Japan could bring her a tiny surprise. Her kitchen spell series hadn't been updated in a long time. She hoped this could provide some material.
Speaking of which, she had incorporated quite a bit of Japanese cuisine from her past life into the witch's kitchen spell series. She wondered how different those were from the authentic Japanese dishes.
Dorothy's thoughts wandered.
Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, and she couldn't help but look up toward the door.
She saw a group of shrine maidens dressed in red and white witch outfits entering through the door. The leading one was exceptionally beautiful with an ethereal aura. Her waterfall-like black hair was simply styled in the classic hime cut, giving off an almost transcendental vibe, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Hmm, a very pretty little shrine maiden.
But the problem was that the magical aura of this Miss Witch was quite familiar to Dorothy.
"Miss Ghost Mask?"
The homebody witch speculated.
Then she took a good look at Miss Witch's eyes and imagined what she would look like with a half-face ghost mask.
Emmmm.... Confirmed, it was indeed Miss Ghost Mask. So that's what the sexy ninja-dressed Miss Judge actually looked like in her true form, a sacred shrine maiden. What a stark contrast! She had thought Miss Ghost Mask would be more of a demon ninja type.
Dorothy was a little reminiscent and a bit speechless.
Going out to have a meal, how come she kept running into acquaintances?
Though thinking about it, it seemed normal. After all, Japan was Miss Ghost Mask's hometown, so her appearance in such a place wasn't out of place.
The only trouble was the Black Wing Witch following Miss Ghost Mask....
Damn, how come this Big-mouthed Crow is here too? Quit blinking, I know you're acting weird again.
Looking at Wenwen, who was also in a red and white shrine maiden outfit but lacked the shrine maiden's temperament, Dorothy's mouth twitched, feeling a bit of a headache.
What is all this?
"What's up, Dorothy? Have you taken a liking to our little shrine maiden? That's not okay. She's poised to be the next Divine Witch of Amaterasu Shrine, our island's future Lord, and can't be married off. But if you're willing to stay on the island, maybe we can discuss it."
Yae Miko had been keeping an eye on her niece she'd hoped to poach, so seeing Dorothy intently staring at the shrine maidens who had just sat at the second table to their right, the Blond Witch jokingly said.
Hmm, it could be a tease, or it could be sincere. If she could actually poach successfully, the cost of a future Divine Witch as a price wouldn't be unacceptable.
"No, no, big sis, you jest. I was just looking. I really didn't expect shrine maidens to show up at this kind of occasion,"
Dorothy quickly shook her head to explain after hearing Aunt Miko tease her.
But the next Divine Witch of Amaterasu Shrine?
The homebody witch realized her ninja subordinate's status was quite intimidating.
Yet, Aunt Miko could joke with the future Island Master, and even the future Island Master had a seating status below her, this....
"It's nothing. If we were in the true Japan of the Eastern Universe, clergy indeed should not appear on Flower Street. But aren't we witches? We're all women, so there's no need to be particular about it,"
the Blond Witch said with a smile.
Dorothy: "..."
No, some things should still be particular about.
The homebody witch didn't know what to say anymore.
