Chapter 1976: Chapter 1006: Sisters’ Betrayal

This meeting lasted an entire day.

By the time Dorothy and the others walked out of the Round Table Knights’ meeting room again, evening had already fallen outside.

"Whew, this is really exhausting for me."

The Homebody Witch exhaled a breath of stale air and stretched lazily.

Although the one hosting the meeting was actually the Moon Goddess Incarnation, and not her main body, this didn’t stop her from feeling tired. After all, the incarnation is essentially a part of the main body.

"Thanks a lot, Little Five. Take a good rest. We may have to bother you often in the future."

Dorothy didn’t forget to thank the one who contributed and said this in her heart.

"No need to be so formal, Witch Sister. We are essentially one, so it’s not a bother at all. I’m happy to assist you, sister."

The Moon Goddess shook her head and answered this way, looking at the Homebody Witch with anticipation in her eyes, filled with the expectation of "Sister, you can rely on me more in the future."

Even though this incarnation was still that nurturing, voluptuous figure, expressing warmth within her sacredness, she had the gentle air of a big sister. Compare this to the Homebody Witch’s main body, and it seemed that the Moon Goddess Incarnation actually looked more like the elder sister.

Even Dorothy herself, in a daze, couldn’t help but produce an illusion of "Little Five is such a good child."

Fortunately, the Homebody Witch quickly shook her head to dispel this illusion.

Alas, others might not know the Moon Goddess Incarnation’s character, but she, as the main body, knew it thoroughly. This one, when not acting up, was fine, but once she did, she was far scarier than the little troublemaker Fairy King.

Thinking back to the peculiar traits used when creating Little Five, even Dorothy felt a bit apprehensive.

However, she had indeed somewhat neglected this child before, and she could give her more opportunities to perform in the future.

The Homebody Witch thought this in her heart.

Hmm, hmm, what’s next is just shipbuilding, not really going to the battlefield to lead troops. No matter how terrifying Little Five’s traits are, managing some Paru screwing some screws couldn’t possibly stir up some big news, right?

"Go back and have a good rest. After tomorrow, we will start to get busy."

The group then each returned to their respective homes.

Nothing happened overnight...

The next morning, in the Shining Territory.

Dorothy, as usual, got up at the set time out of habit, completed her washing and eating routine, and then she and her sisters arrived early at the entrance of the Warship Workshop.

In yesterday’s meeting, it was agreed that today representatives from other workshops would come to inspect their workshop. Even with the great PPT presentation of the Moon Goddess, given the significance of the matter, everyone still needed to see the real thing to be reassured.

Regarding this, the Homebody Witch did not worry much, since the six Shipbuilding Workshops were designed and built by her own hands, and she had great confidence in her work.

Though she couldn’t declare it the world’s number one workshop, it was undoubtedly at a leading level, sure to leave people from other workshops reluctant to return after seeing it.

Hmm, hmm, hopefully, they won’t really go back, because Stars Industry is truly short of people now.

However, when Dorothy arrived at the workshop entrance ready to open the gate, she was surprised to find someone waiting there for quite some time.

"Miss Estelle? How come you’ve arrived so early?"

Upon seeing that tall and steady figure, the Homebody Witch and the others were a bit startled.

After all, this Miss Strategist, immovable as a mountain, didn’t seem like someone in a hurry.

However, how could the Dragon Witch of the Mountain not be anxious? In fact, she had been sleepless the entire previous night, eager as a schoolchild anticipating a spring outing the next day, desperately wishing time would pass faster, skipping straight to tomorrow.

She had completed her resignation and handed over her various positions in the Dragon Feast Battle Group overnight, working overtime at lightning speed. If it hadn’t been inappropriate to knock and visit in the dead of night, she might have truly reported in then.

After all, this place held double the idols, double the happiness waiting for her—a Fate Revelation big shot in the left hand, and a Master of Forest Witch in the right. What an ultimate bliss; her life felt complete.

Estelle thought within her heart.

However, though initially anxious, she calmed down once she arrived at the Shining Territory. She declined the Shining Territory guardian witches’ suggestions to notify the young lady and patiently waited at the door till now.

"After all, I’m not just here to tour the workshop; I’m here to report as well. As a new member, I hope to familiarize myself with my future position sooner."

At this moment, facing the young lady’s inquiry, the Dragon Witch of the Mountain responded with full awareness.

Dorothy: "..."

This is way too fake, right? Even Paru wouldn’t have so much awareness.

"Miss Estelle, you really don’t have to do that. Since we’ve agreed to your hiring yesterday, we won’t renege on that. Once you join Stars Industry, we are a family, and I hope we can be more genuine and less perfunctory as a family." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Since nobody else was present anyway, the Homebody Witch straightforwardly laid her cards on the table.

"I understand that you probably came for the Great Forest Witch, but she isn’t always at Stars Industry. She only descends when needed, so if you regret it now, it’s still not too late."
