Otaku Witch-Chapter 617 - 453. The Agreement between Two People
Five minutes later, the Angel Corps still hovered in mid-air, gazing down at the church below, while at the entrance of the church, The Witches also stood ready, prepared to take action at any moment.
However, in the end, neither side had come to blows, as at that moment, the leaders from both sides were engaged in negotiations.
Inside the main hall of the church, where the statue of the Lord of Glory had once stood as the central deity, it had shattered when Adam renounced his faith, and now the pedestal meant for the statue was eerily empty, making the hall seem somewhat odd.
And now, beneath the divine pedestal, Dorothy faced Sophia.
"Sophia, how did you really become an Angel?"
"Miss, how did you change history?"
After staring at each other for a while, both women spoke almost simultaneously.
"Alright, you go first."
"Miss, you asked first."
After another simultaneous utterance, both women fell silent.
It was a while longer before Sophia spoke again.
"I had no choice, Miss. My Mother Superior has personally descended."
The Pure White Angel revealed major information as she spoke.
Dorothy, however, was not at all surprised by this revelation; she had anticipated it, and now her guesses had simply become reality.
Although she appeared calm on the surface, the homebody witch was feeling somewhat panicked on the inside. After all, if it was just the Angels messing with their knowledge of history and reopening their game, they on her side could still play along. But now, with the final boss having read the script, the game seemed impossible.
However, Dorothy remembered the terrifying will she had sensed in Denisha not so long ago.
Yes, the other side had acted unscrupulously first, so couldn't they also directly bring in powerful reinforcements?

Of course, even though the homebody witch's thoughts weren't voiced, Sophia seemed to see right through her, speaking again.
"Don't worry. It seems that my Mother Superior doesn't intend to directly interfere with this trial. She will, as always, only take action during the final battle," she said.
With these words, the Pure White Angel gave Dorothy a sigh of relief.
Indeed, the Lord of Glory was a significant figure, standing atop the Western Universe. Such a personage should have the magnanimity befitting their status. Even if she belonged to a different race, she wouldn't disrupt the Witch's Night event. Otherwise, it would be like an adult messing up a children's game of house—a severe loss of dignity.
However, just as the homebody witch was starting to feel relieved, Sophia's next words took her by surprise.
"So she has delegated her power to me. Until the final battle, she has given me the authority to act as the King of Angels."
The Pure White Angel said this as if it were a casual matter.
Dorothy: "...."
Well that's awkward...
The homebody witch was taken aback, not having expected this twist.
"But aren't you a witch? How can you become an Angel..."
Dorothy began to object instinctively, but halfway through her sentence, she remembered her roommate's background.
Sophia was not purely a witch; she was a half-witch, half-angel hybrid. Therefore, during Witch's Night, she naturally had the choice to side with either faction entirely at her own discretion.
"So you agreed?"
After pausing for a moment, Dorothy asked.
"Did I have a choice?"
Sophia did not respond directly but instead met the Miss's gaze with her own beautiful eyes that shone like gold.
Understanding, the homebody witch nodded in empathy.
"Right, you had no choice."
It was just like when Dorothy herself would have been compelled to return home and take over the family business as an Armed Witch had she not convinced Euphilia. Now, Sophia's mother was an even bigger figure than Mother Dragon, and the poor Pure White Angel was in a situation even worse than hers had been.
When one is within the martial arts world, one can't always control their fate, and the only thing that makes one feel more helpless than the dealings of the martial arts world is family matters. When a parent asserts that they're acting in your best interest, it's truly hard for a child to stand against that.
"Then, I was wrong. I shouldn't have exposed your identity just now. This makes things complicated."
Now, furrowing her brow, Dorothy began to feel a headache coming on.
She knew Sophia's circumstances well, but the other Witches didn't. If Witch's Night continued and others discovered that the very Student Council President had become the leader of the Angels, Pure White Angel's situation would become quite awkward.
If not handled properly, this could lead to the revelation of Sophia's lineage, potentially causing the roommate to become the target of gossip among all The Witches. After all, being the progeny of the Lord of Glory, their sworn enemy, was a difficult fact for The Witches to accept.
Fortunately, those present were trustworthy friends. Dorothy just needed to ask them to help keep the secret, which shouldn't be too hard.
While Dorothy was contemplating how to keep things under wraps, the Six-Winged Pure White Angel, observing her reaction, also had mixed feelings.
"Miss, I can now understand why you changed history and saved the God King. Indeed, you have always been such a good person, truly worthy to be the teacher's daughter," Sophia sighed, her often-stern expression softening.
