"Vannie, you mustn't, that's against the law."
Dorothy flatly rejected the alluring proposal from the long-haired beauty.
Although theoretically speaking, almost any creature could be used as a familiar by a Demoness, even fellow Witches, the Witches are a civilized race, and nominally, all Witches are equal.
Naturally, while there was no explicit law prohibiting the use of fellow Witches as familiars, it was a tacit rule that all Witches adhered to. Even the King of Witches, when wanting a Little Witch to do something, would do so under the guise of employment, not by direct command.
Therefore, Dorothy naturally didn't dare to break this tacit rule that even the King of Witches had to obey. Otherwise, if it were known, she probably wouldn't be able to survive in the entire Witch World.
Such world-defying acts were for chuunibyou protagonists. Dorothy felt that she, as an ordinary Little Witch, really wasn't qualified to steal the protagonists' thunder.
Although Vannie, this long-haired senior, was very beautiful, spoke nicely, and Dorothy loved chatting with her, and she was also very strong, practically the most perfect familiar, which was very tempting, this kind of thing really couldn't be done. Senior, if you really have such a hobby, I can introduce you to Mia, that female tyrant, or perhaps you and the Succubus Disciplinary Committee Chairman might have some common topics.
Dorothy silently moved her chair back a small step.
Vannie: "..."
At this moment, the long-haired senior's condition had clearly worsened. Behind her, the three indescribable existences that had appeared earlier had fully reappeared, but they remained motionless like statues for now. In this room, faint, chaotic drumbeats and piercing, shrill flute sounds began to intertwine, giving one an inexplicable sense of irritation, like fingernails scraping a blackboard.
"Miss Junior, I didn't make myself clear just now and caused you to misunderstand. I had no intention of making you violate that tacit rule, nor do I have the kind of hobbies you imagine. This proposal of mine can both help you solve your problem and help me break free from this self-sealed state faster."
Vannie shook her head, explaining while resisting the surging, intense drowsiness.
She tilted her head and glanced at Diana beside her. With just one look, the current president of the True Sight Eye, a new-generation powerhouse approaching Great Witch level, fell into an unconscious sleep without any resistance.
The maid, Tyche Lily, who had been serving the three, stepped forward, embraced the unconscious Diana, and sent her to the nearby elevator.
After all this, the long-haired senior finally turned to look at Dorothy, which made Dorothy's body tremble slightly.
My goodness, what the heck? Diana, you're a famous person in the school, how can you be so weak? You were knocked out by a single glance.
Is it you who's weak, or is this eerie senior too terrifying? Should I say she truly lives up to being the top student of the previous year?
However, she wasn't too afraid in her heart. Firstly, her intuition told her that the senior in front of her hadn't lost control yet. Secondly, the mother's amulet in her hand gave her enough confidence. Besides, after their long talk just now, she trusted her judgment.
She truly felt that Vannie was a good person.
Although the form of this senior's power was a bit frightening, when they were chatting earlier, the various aspirations for the future that she unconsciously revealed in her words couldn't be faked.
In particular, both of them were very interested in creating a series of spells for the 'Lazy Person's Gospel' lifestyle, both wanting to use magic to better improve life. This contradicted the mainstream notion of Witches, who are a Calamity Race, that the greater the magical power, the better, and the higher the efficiency of killing and destruction, the better.
Someone who loved life so much could absolutely not be a bad person.
Dorothy firmly believed this. If even all that was an act by this senior, then she was willing to take responsibility for her blindness.
Therefore, there was nothing left to fear.
Of course, although not afraid, she was still a little nervous.
"Sorry, I might have scared you. It's just that what I'm about to say concerns the essence of my power, so I have to be cautious."
The long-haired Demoness also saw through Dorothy's nervousness and tried to reassure her.
"Miss, you must have heard about my situation from Diana before, right? I am afflicted with the Knowledge Curse."
Vannie asked, looking directly into Dorothy's evasive eyes.
"Mm."
The Zhai Mo Nv obediently nodded, then spoke truthfully.
"It's just that I heard you're from the archaeology department and mainly research history, so the Knowledge Curse shouldn't be harmful, right? Although we've only known each other for a short time, I know you're truly a kind and good person."
"Also, just call me Dorothy."
She stated her name. Vannie's posture clearly indicated she was about to tell her a big secret, so she naturally needed to be sensible and show some sincerity.
Upon hearing this, the elegant and dignified beauty opposite covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Dorothy, 'gift of God,' also means 'Daughter of Destiny' in the Demoness language. A good name. It's clear that the person who named you truly loves you and has high hopes for you."
The long-haired senior first praised her junior's name, then shook her head slightly.
"Although your trust in me makes me very happy, Dorothy, it's precisely the opposite. I fall into the category with the greatest danger. Otherwise, why do you think I can't graduate from the academy? You should know that Witches who lose control are usually sent to specialized hospitals for treatment."
"But I'm different. I'm too dangerous, so dangerous that no one dares to risk even moving me."
Vannie nonchalantly recounted something quite terrifying, and behind her, more indescribable beings emerged: a gigantic sun with eyes, a mysterious monarch draped in tattered yellow robes, and...
However, these inherently terrifying presences were all restrained by that supreme will, forced to remain motionless, like statues.
"Do you know, Dorothy? I, too, was born with great expectations, just like you, but the destiny upon me is a little too heavy."
"So, Dorothy, let me reintroduce myself. Asaphani, the Fourth King decreed by destiny, the Daughter of All Endings in the world's prophecies, greets you."
Amidst the increasingly numerous eerie monsters appearing behind her, and the growing sounds of drums and flutes, the elegant and dignified long-haired Demoness spoke.
Dorothy: "..."
The Little Witch was utterly numb.
I've brought you a backer, Qian Bao, laugh, why aren't you laughing, why aren't you laughing.
