"Uh, this..."
Strictly speaking, the most surprised person right now actually wasn’t anyone else, but Mia who was standing right next to Dorothy.
The Golden Princess stared in a daze at the signboard her crush had hung out, then blinked suspiciously.
What Witch of the Forest? Where did this Witch of the Forest co from?
Little Fairy, you can’t just casually borrow soone else’s brand when you’re doing business, okay? Especially not the signboard of a super popular Spell Master like the Witch of the Forest. If she really decides to co after us, that terrifying number of fans could drown us in spit with just one mouthful each.
Her heart started to panic a little, and she really wanted to remind the Little Fairy.
But after Mia forcibly cald herself down, she suddenly realized sothing was off.
First of all, the Little Fairy wasn’t the type who didn’t know her limits. She was usually the most afraid of trouble; there’s no way she’d really risk using soone else’s na.
Secondly, out of the three, or rather four of them, she was the only one who was confused. The others, whether it was Dorothy herself, Sophia, or that senior Fanny who’d turned into a hat, were all completely calm.
Uh, this...
It’s over, the Clown really is .
Mia suddenly had this feeling that she’d been pushed to the outside, like she’d beco an outsider.
However, she wasn’t actually that angry about it. After all, this matter involved that mysterious Lady Witch of the Forest, who was ranked fourth in popularity in the entire Witch World. There were countless people trying to dig up information about this Spell Master; any intel related to this boss had to be handled with utmost caution.
If it were her in that position, she also wouldn’t go around leaking this kind of classified info. It wasn’t about trust or not, it was purely that the fewer people who know, the safer it is.
Of course, understanding is one thing, but feeling a little down is still feeling a little down. That’s just a weakness of human nature.
But before Mia could really start doubting, Dorothy had already winked at her and sent her a voice transmission.
"Hahaha, Senior, surprised, right? Please forgive for not telling you this secret before. Back then I really didn’t have much ability to protect myself, I truly didn’t dare reveal that I’m actually the Witch of the Forest."
The hobody witch apologized sincerely.
This wasn’t sothing worth denying. Even though she’d long since acknowledged Senior Mia as a good sister, as family from the Witch’s Ho, and she believed Senior Mia should also treat her as family, family still had closer and more distant ties. She wasn’t about to gamble on whether she was more important in Senior Mia’s heart or the Golden Country was.
But now, there was no need for her to gamble anymore; Senior Mia’s current situation could already be considered as her having made a choice.
So Dorothy had nothing left to hesitate about.
Mia: "???"
Even though her crush’s comfort and honesty had lted away that budding sense of loss, still—Little Fairy, hold up a sec, what do you an you’re the Witch of the Forest?
The usually dignified, elegant, and calm senior was blinking all cutesy and dumbfounded right now, looking like her CPU had just overloaded.
And Dorothy also blinked, recording this rare mont of Senior Mia losing her composure.
Hehe, this was exactly the kind of thing she’d always wanted to collect.
At the mont she’d already collected the reaction images of Sophia, senior Fanny, and Mother Dragon. Now that she’d added Senior Mia’s to the folder, she believed that in the not-too-distant future, the expression packs of Audrey, Madeline, Alice, and Spider Teacher, Aunt Miko and the others would definitely be very interesting too.
It was just a pity that it still wasn’t ti for a full all-cards-on-the-table reveal yet.
...
anwhile, after a brief mont of silence, everyone in the marketplace suddenly sward toward this tiny stall.
Only, they weren’t here to give Dorothy their business, but to denounce and criticize her.
"Who the hell are you? Don’t think that just because you’re a bit pretty you can do whatever you want. You think you’re worthy of clout-chasing with the na of the Great Forest Witch?"
"I’m dying over here. You three little brats are really bold, but if you’re gonna brag, at least draft it first, okay? Just you lot, and you can get in touch with the Great Forest Witch?"
"Sis, this isn’t sothing you can just joke about, alright? You can’t just scrawl any random na on a signboard."
"Do you really have Lady Witch of the Forest’s contact info?"
"Hey hey hey, you actually believe that? I’m a mber of the Witch Support Group. We’ve got several Peak Bosses in our group and even they couldn’t find a single scrap of intel about Lady Witch. And you believe these three kiddos have it?"
"Exactly, exactly. If she were really the Lady Witch, would she need to set up a stall here? With just one word, she could have all the Battle Groups lining up to go find her, okay?"
...
Mm, in short, everyone was suspecting that Dorothy and the other two were faking it and doing false advertising.
This made the hobody witch feel very tired.
Alas, in this day and age, nobody believes the truth anymore.
She suddenly felt that she might have really been too cautious all this ti. In reality, this Witch of the Forest alt might actually be the hardest one to get exposed, because her popularity was so high she’d already been turned into a myth. It had already reached the point where even if she herself jumped out and yelled every day that she was the Witch of the Forest, no one would believe her.
Just like what was happening right now in front of her.
But thinking about it, you really couldn’t bla people for not believing. After all, that Spell Master title wasn’t sothing just anyone could shoulder. The prerequisite for becoming a Spell Master was vast knowledge and extrely high wisdom.
And neither of those were things that could be achieved overnight. They could only be accumulated and tempered slowly over ti.
So monstrous Genius Witches might, at a very young age, rely on Talent to gain terrifying Magic Power and scary strength, but when it ca to Spell Masters, there were basically no young ones.
