Otaku Witch

The flow of thought and consciousness has always been quick and convenient, especially for an entity with a stable connection between the original body and the incarnation.

Just a second ago, Dorothy's main consciousness was in her Martial Soul Incarnation on the small world's beach. But in the blink of an eye, as she closed and opened her eyes, she found herself within the Moon Goddess Incarnation in the Moon Rabbit World.

However, she didn't directly take over the main control of the Moon Goddess Incarnation, but observed everything from the perspective of a secondary persona.

To the homebody witch's surprise, the Moon Goddess Incarnation wasn't sitting quietly in the church as a divine statue. Instead, she had ventured outside the city to the barren land where she was working with the Moon Rabbits.

The Moon Goddess Incarnation had retracted her wings and divine glow from her back, and her face was still covered with a rabbit mask, which didn't stand out much as by now, members of the Moon Goddess Sect all wore such rabbit masks, the hallmark of the church's personnel.

The formerly flowing white hair was now braided into a long plait that dangled in front of her chest for the sake of convenience while working. Plus, given the harsh dusty environment of the wilderness beyond the city walls, she looked disheveled, appearing utterly ordinary, much like any other Moon Rabbit girl you might see around.

Well, even because of the "Earthy" characteristic inherent to the Moon Goddess Incarnation, now that she had subdued her deity effects, she seemed even less conspicuous than an average Moon Rabbit girl.

After all, Moon Rabbit girls occasionally care about their appearance and wouldn't allow themselves to look too shabby.

But this Moon Goddess, when she got to work, was outpacing everyone with such straightforward efficiency that she put even men to shame; there was no trace of femininity – she was like a true country girl accustomed to hard labor from youth.

To others who saw her like this, nothing but admiration and a thumbs-up was in order, acknowledging her as a true manly figure.

"Tch, I'm a bit envious of that ability," Dorothy mused inwardly, her spiritual power scanning the group of incarnations whose robust and buxom statures were not inferior to those of Senior Mia, feeling a bit envious of the inconspicuous trait.

Though the Moon Goddess currently wore a rabbit mask, obscuring her face, truth be told, with such a figure, her facial features didn't matter much – it's all the same in the dark anyway.

With such a figure, walking casually down the street would turn many heads, and the Moon Rabbits weren't a purely female race like witches; they were a normal race with both males and females.

Even though the Moon Rabbits' unique social structure meant they didn't have concepts of romance, the lack of romantic love didn't mean an absence of desires. In fact, the Moon Rabbit Race was much like rabbits indeed, with a strong need in that particular aspect.

So the inconspicuousness of the Moon Goddess Incarnation at that moment seemed peculiar indeed.

It was almost as though she always had the Akari Technique applied to her, making even Dorothy's original self envious, as she had long wished for that unnoticeable ability.

While the Moon Goddess did not attract much attention, she seemed to have a special effect on children. After finishing the task at hand and taking a temporary break, a group of Moon Rabbit youngsters immediately hopped over to her side.

"Sister Dorothy, tell us a story, please."

"Right, right, the story of Snow White and the Calabash Brothers you started last time isn't finished."

...

The group of little rabbits completely surrounded the Moon Goddess Incarnation. Several adorable bunny Lolitas jumped right into her arms, coquettishly snuggling up to her.

Seeing so many young rabbits, Dorothy's consciousness felt somewhat overwhelmed.

It wasn't that she didn't like children; in fact, she rather liked them, and ever since her last life in the orphanage, she had been quite popular with the kids, inexplicably becoming the children's champion, although she wasn't really sure why she was so well-liked.

It must be a Children's Champion Physique, she guessed.

But while the Moon Goddess was quite adept at handling the children clinging to her, with the kids being very well-behaved. After she tenderly finished a few fairy tales that sounded somewhat childhood-destroying to Dorothy, they dispersed in a hullabaloo, returning to their respective tasks.

Well, back to work.

After all, this was a Doomsday World, where no idleness was tolerated, even for children; even they needed to do whatever work they were capable of.

"Little Five, you're really not maintaining much dignity as a deity," Dorothy's consciousness said, chuckling inwardly once she finally had a moment of peace.

"Comrade Original, we're both clear that deities never really had much dignity to begin with, right?" the Moon Goddess responded earnestly to her original's playful remark.

"Yes, people don't need the type of deity who sits aloof on an altar, untouched by worldly dust. Only a leader who mingles with the masses and leads by example deserves respect," Dorothy agreed, nodding.

Looking at those young rabbits who, although working, still bore joyful smiles on their faces, she couldn't help but praise them.

"Little Five, you're doing very well. Children are the future of a race, a civilization. You've taught this group well. They all seem quite hopeful, which is good. In such a Doomsday World, to have hope is more precious than anything; hope is what leads to a future."

In the end, she couldn't resist teasing again.
