Chapter 2357: Chapter 1173: I Only Feel Sorry for Jiejie

"Miss Dorothy, Miss Elsa, pardon the intrusion, please forgive us."

The Homebody Witch eventually opened the door and, as expected, saw Bahamut’s tall and athletic figure outside. This beautiful and majestic Shipgirl greeted politely upon seeing the door open.

"And it’s me too, Sister Dorothy, Sister Elsa, good morning."

A Little Lolita peeks her head out from behind Miss Shipgirl, with a bright smile on Loki’s face as she greets the two of them.

Dorothy: "....."

Oh my, how did this little kid come here too? Wait, don’t tell me you brought the darn ghost... Oh, I mean Bahamut, right?

The Homebody Witch thought to herself.

Though feeling anxious inside, but since Bahamut was her in-game wife and she was filled with guilt towards Bahamut at the moment, wanting to make amends, naturally she wouldn’t show any disdain, fear, or unwelcoming emotions.

"No problem, no problem, please come in you two."

She fully opened the door and invited the two inside.

In response, Bahamut slightly lowered her head, gently bowing to enter.

Her height was indeed impressive, about nearly two meters and seventy-eight centimeters. If counting the flower on her dragon horn, it might be three meters tall, which is certainly taller than the door.

If Dorothy was in her original body, the height difference wouldn’t be too absurd. However, in this disguised body, she purposely adjusted her height back to about one meter seventy-five to not stand out, so now she has to look up to Miss Shipgirl.

Luckily, the villa’s living room has a high ceiling, so Bahamut doesn’t feel too cramped upon entering, and there’s no worry of accidentally piercing the ceiling with her dragon horn.

As the two entered the room, they each took a look around at the scene inside.

Though the villa had just been assigned to the two of them, after a few days of living and Elsa’s careful decoration, the interior had become very cozy, full of warmth and a lived-in feeling.

Such a sight left them both feeling somewhat conflicted.

Bahamut: "He’s supposed to be my husband, and yet has a cozy home with someone else."

Loki: "I assigned this house, does it mean I have a sense of involvement?"

However, neither showed their feelings on their faces.

"Huh, Elsa, you all are having such a lavish meal today?"

Loki noticed Elsa still busy in the kitchen and saw the especially abundant spread of dishes besides her, "surprised," Loki asked.

Of course, she was pretending, because she knew today was the witch’s New Year and also Dorothy’s past birthday. For such an important day, she wouldn’t miss it, so she initially planned to find a reason to stick around the teacher.

But unexpectedly, Bahamut found the Civil Engineering Department early in the morning to say she needed to see Dorothy and Elsa.

This was incredibly timely, coming right on this day, which made Loki fully alert, suspecting Old Deng, the Dragon King, might be playing her again, whether Bahamut might also carry memories.

But undeniably, Bahamut’s "acting" might be really skilled; Little Lolita observed for a while and found no flaw in her demeanor, but she didn’t dwell on it much since the "reason" had come knocking itself.

Thus, Loki went along, directly bringing Bahamut here.

Oh, Dorothy and Elsa had registered their home address when joining before.

"Yeah, today is Dorothy’s birthday, so it has to be a bit more lavish."

Though Elsa was a bit unhappy about the two suddenly intruding on her and Dorothy’s alone time, her good upbringing kept these feelings from showing as she responded with a smile.

Oh, her smile seemed "kind," just short of writing "Got the message? If so, hurry up and leave, don’t disturb our birthday celebration" on her face.

But Loki played innocent, seemingly not understanding the atmosphere, feigning ignorance.

Anyway, she’s a child, children have privileges, "you don’t mind, do you, Sister Elsa?"

So, Little Lolita directly looked at Dorothy, who’s making tea for the two, with a face of delight.

"Really, today is your birthday, Sister Dorothy? Oh, we didn’t know, otherwise we would’ve brought gifts, coming empty-handed won’t upset you, will it, sister?"

Loki began the playful banter.

"Just a small birthday, nothing significant, no need for gifts either."

Dorothy waved her hand, saying.

"That’s not right, Sister Dorothy, wait a sec, I’ll see if I have any suitable gift to give; this is the first birthday since meeting you, there has to be some sense of occasion."

The Little Lolita waved her hand, then reached to explore at her chest.

The Homebody Witch: "...."

Really, do you have an other-dimensional pocket there?

But after quite a while of rummaging, Loki surprisingly pulled out a finely crafted Mechanical Flower from her chest under Dorothy’s shocked gaze.

"Well, sister, I have nothing much to give, here’s a small flower I made while learning mechanical crafting before, happy birthday!"
