Otaku Witch

Chapter 253 226. Merry Maker who is in a frantic fury

"Ah, really though."

Dorothy actually just asked casually; she had no evidence, simply a kind of intuition, a mysterious sense of familiarity.

If she had to give a reason, then it would only be the instance when Sister Fallen Angel appeared beside her, and they almost came into close contact — Dorothy didn't find it disagreeable, only feeling slightly uneasy.

This was unusual for her, given her social anxiety. If it had been a stranger getting that close upon a first meeting, she probably would have felt quite uncomfortable, but in reality, aside from being a little startled, she didn't feel that bad.

Moreover, when the expressionless Sister Fallen Angel spoke, she really did have a vibe similar to Sophia's, especially with that "I despise you, but since you are the teacher's daughter, I will still grant your requests" look. Dorothy was too familiar with it.

Well, sometimes her roommate would remind the homebody witch of a TV series she watched in her past life that wouldn't be aired on regular channels, with a name like "A Disdainful Face Showing You Fat. Something."

Dorothy suspected that if she really told Sophia that she wanted to watch it, perhaps the Angel Witch would indeed watch her with eyes that seemed to be looking at trash while slowly lifting her skirt.

Ahem...

Not that Dorothy was that kind of person, after all; she was fed up with that sort of stuff in this lifetime, and if she really wanted to see, just any mirror would do.

"Nothing much, just intuition. After all, you are my family. I wouldn't fail to recognize my own family, that's the bond of family."

In response to Sister Fallen Angel's curiosity, Dorothy spoke honestly.

After all, she didn't have many friends, and she could probably identify the right person using the process of elimination anyway.

But that aside, how did Sophia manage such a perfect disguise? Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Dorothy scrutinized the Sister Fallen Angel in front of her, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't connect Sister Fallen Angel to Sophia, apart from that intuition. After all, whether it be in appearance, figure, or magical aura, the two were completely different.

The Angel Witch was a witch, while Sister Fallen Angel in front of her was a genuine, pure Fallen Angel.

How did she even change races? What did she do, use an Advanced Transformation Spell?

Dorothy speculated as such.

The High-Level Transformation Spells in the Transformation Faction indeed have the ability to temporarily change races, like the classic Dragon Transformation Technique that allows the caster to become a Great Dragon for a short period, possessing the dragon's strength.

However, transformation spells that turn one into a member of the Calamity Race are quite difficult to learn. The barrier to entry starts with Forbidden Curses, but with Sophia's power, it wouldn't be impossible to do.

But even High-Level Transformation Magic wouldn't allow for such a perfect, natural disguise; after all, the power fluctuations from a Forbidden Curse are too strong. The unnaturalness in the power grafting could easily be spotted at first glance, similar to cosmetic surgery.

However, Sister Fallen Angel appeared genuine, not like she had been altered later on. If it hadn't been for her own admission just now, Dorothy actually wouldn't have had any way to confirm her connection to Sophia.

"You're not going to argue at all? Just admitting it this easily?"

The homebody witch scratched her head, asking with some curiosity.

After all, Sophia had gone to great lengths, making such a big detour to create this disguise; there must have been a reason for it. But now, to simply blow this disguise up like this seemed like a waste of effort.

"There's nothing to argue about, Miss. I've told you, you needn't doubt my loyalty to you, so naturally, I wouldn't deceive you,"

Sister Fallen Angel shook her head, saying this frankly.

"And Miss, you didn't keep me in the dark before, did you? Now we are even. However, from now on, please call me Ruthfiel; I still need this identity, it's not time for a full reveal."

Of course, that's what she said, but in her heart, Sister Fallen Angel was anything but calm. After all, even her teacher didn't know the secret of this incarnation; it wasn't about distrust, but this was an Angel Witch family matter, and she didn't want to involve her teacher further.

After all, if her teacher, as the Dragon Witch, got too involved in the affairs of Angel Witches, it wouldn't be good for her reputation or stance.

This time, due to the special nature of the power of faith, she wasn't confident in the Miss acting recklessly, and since she couldn't spare the time herself, she arranged for this incarnation to step in.

As for this incarnation's ability to disguise, Sophia was quite confident. After all, she hadn't tried to disguise at all; this incarnation was a real Fallen Angel. Even if the Witch King herself came to look, she would only conclude that she was a normal Fallen Angel.

But what she hadn't anticipated was that just a few minutes into their meeting, her disguise was seen through by the Miss, and the reason for this was that damned family bond. Sophia, ah, no, Ruthfiel, couldn't describe her feelings at that moment.

The one thing she had least believed in her life was family, but now faced with reality, she didn't know how to refute it, and for a moment she wavered. Could there really be such a thing as a bond of family?

And she wasn't the only one shocked; even the Witch King was taken aback.

"Hey, Dorothy, come clean with me, did you awaken the ability to see through fate with a Magic Eye or something? Don't talk to me about family bonds, how did you figure it out?"

Above Dorothy's head, Hat Senior Sister was quite unsettled.

Used to seeing through everything and holding the script, she was quite happy playing the Merry Maker, waiting for the two main characters to perform a good show for her. But as soon as the curtain rose and the show was about to start, one of the main characters suddenly didn't follow the script and pulled out a perspective cheat, infuriating the Merry Maker.

"Senpai, stop joking around. I really can't figure out fate, let alone having a Magic Eye related to it. I've only got the newly awakened Dragon's Eye, okay?"

Dorothy was full of question marks when asked.

"Impossible, otherwise, your little angel roommate's incarnation is flawless. Even I might have been mistaken if I hadn't seen her true form. If I only saw this incarnation of hers, I might have been fooled too. Her incarnation uses the power of fate for evolution, belonging to the highest level of incarnations, and anyone not mastering the power of fate could not see through it."

"Dorothy, tell me the truth, did you see through her Angel Hybrid identity long ago and also knew that she was the one behind the Sky Island attack? Have you been acting all along?"

Hat Senior Sister said resentfully.
