Otaku Witch-Chapter 1446 - 791: Sisters

"Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is that beauty sitting alone by the sea, whose unparalleled beauty silences the ocean and whose noble aura shames the moon?"

At midnight, a figure sat alone by the sea, speaking to herself.

In front of her lay a mysterious ritual array, intricately drawn, clearly crafted by an expert’s hand, though the offerings placed upon it were somewhat rudimentary.

After all, normally no one would use a pile of fish bones as offerings.

However, oddly enough, this rather sloppy ritual somehow succeeded.

The once wavy sea surface suddenly became calm and still in a small area before her, and the reflection of the young girl in the water blinked strangely, then lifted her head and said confidently.

"Needless to say, it’s me, Artie."

Dorothy: "..."

Look at how shameless this person is.

Hmm, this woman is like me.

But seriously, your name is Artie.

It was the first time the homebody witch learned the real name of the ’me’ from reality on the other side, and she was slightly surprised, but upon reflection, she wasn’t too bothered.

Since Lord Demon King bestowed even this body’s appearance, naturally, he wouldn’t be stingy with a name. Moreover, Artie is just a nickname; there are countless people nicknamed Artie, but obviously not all Arties could be called Astimos.

"Hmm... how come you seem to have grown up?"

Dorothy scrutinized the reflection on the water, then paused, and asked in confusion.

The Artie reflected in the water no longer appeared to be the seven or eight-year-old little girl from the orphanage summoning; now, she seemed about twelve or thirteen.

The once pale and skinny body had become healthier, and her innate beauty began to show slightly. No wonder she dared to steal her lines; she indeed grew a bit more charming.

However...

The homebody witch’s gaze shifted downward slightly from her pure, innocent, ’good girl’ face, and she smirked disdainfully.

"Tch....."

What can I say, cute indeed.

Yes, she grew, but not entirely grown.

"You..."

The Artie opposite also clearly noticed Dorothy’s offensive look. The little one immediately crossed her arms and glared at her, grinding her teeth.

"What do you mean I grew up? Aren’t you the same?"

Artie retorted.

"Uh....."

Dorothy then realized, and waved to summon a mirror to check her own face, finding, to her surprise, that she too had turned from a loli into a girl, just like the Artie in the water reflection.

But she was clearly still loli when setting up the ritual.

"Alright, seems like the synchronization between the spirit world and reality updated the data."

So, Dorothy guessed.

After all, appearances in the spirit world are inherently shapeless; Alice turned into a wolf, Audrey into a sheep, Senior Mia into a golden statue, so it’s no surprise she suddenly grew up.

She swung her fist and curled her lips again.

What is this, growing up physically but not entirely, only the appearance changed, without a boost in strength or anything.

"Okay, seems like a long time passed on your side."

The homebody witch accepted reality.

The spirit world has no concept of time; although she felt she had just left the orphanage, who knows how much time has passed in reality.

Judging by Artie’s growth rate, several years likely passed.

"Yeah, it’s been a long time indeed, glad to see you again, my other self."

Artie on the other side was startled by her words, then displayed a complicated expression, opening her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, only sighed in such a way.

Her calmness made Dorothy feel a bit strange; this person did develop a decent look. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The previously pale, muscle-less stray girl now, judging by her clothes and overall demeanor, exuded a hint of a wealthy heiress.

Indeed, she had been adopted by a rich lady; looks like she’s been doing well these past years.

"Alright, time is tight, let’s cut to the chase, what trouble are you in this time? What’s the deal with those robbers? Are they formidable?"

Midnight was brief, and Dorothy didn’t waste time. She directly got to the point and asked.

Honestly, she was really curious about what kind of fierce robbers manifested Miss Black Dragon as a supermodel boss in this spirit world.

Good thing it was her here, or else, she couldn’t fathom how any other player, relying on a weak mortal Mage’s strength, could fight a dragon.

It’s really a dead end; no chance of direct resistance. One would likely try small tricks to escape, or resign to paying ransom.

Presumably, Artie in reality was in a similar situation in the hands of those robbers.

"I never thought you’d really appear when I’m in danger, I thought it was just a dream illusion, haha, it’s rare for someone to care about someone like me."

Hearing the homebody witch’s question, Artie murmured.
