Otaku Witch-Chapter 368 329. Gentle Clown_2

Even though she was trembling with fear, she still felt greatly aggrieved and defended herself, albeit knowing that her defense sounded weak and was likely to be disbelieved.

At that thought, the face beneath Skywalker's bird-like mask instantly turned pale.

She was truly innocent. She didn't even understand why there was a problem; after all, she was just a Witch Student from the Witch Academy who had barely left the school grounds since childhood, let alone had any contact with the Angel Clan.

The thought of the notorious torture division of the Judicial Tribunal Inquisition Division, said to be comparable to the Abyssal Hell, made Skywalker numb. As a child, elders had used threats like "If you don't behave, you'll be sent to the Tribunal for questioning" to scare her, creating a childhood terror so demonized that the mere thought of it potentially becoming reality almost made Skywalker wet herself.

Whimpering, "Please, no, I am innocent, my family has always been loyal and good..."

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt; after all, she was only a 20-year-old little witch, inexperienced in such things and truly close to peeing herself in fright.

"Hmm, don't be nervous, relax. I believe you're innocent," said Dorothy, looking at the Angel Witch girl who was obviously about to cry. She softened her voice, released the mage's tendrils, and comforted her with a gentle pat on her shoulder.

"Lord Clown..."

Skywalker, who had almost given up all hope, couldn't believe her ears when she heard this. She lifted her head incredulously and stared at the whimsical mask, smiling down at her from the Grand Inquisitor. She used to think it odd that such a figure would compare himself to a clown, but now, in her eyes, Lord Clown was radiant, only slightly less divine than a statue of the God King in a temple.

Whimpering, "Thank you, my Lord, for your trust. I... I really am innocent. I'm just a student at the Witch Academy... I'm not a spy sent by the Angels..."

At that moment, the Angel Witch, almost shattered by her circumstances, clutched at Dorothy as if she were a lifesaver, tears and snot streaming down her face as she began to sob.

The homebody witch, seeing the poor girl exposing her identity, waved her hand to set up a soundproof barrier, sparing the child further difficulty.

"Yes, yes, don't panic. Don't listen to the nonsense rumors outside. Our Judicial Tribunal isn't that terrifying; they're all lies. Rest assured, we will never wrongly accuse a good person nor let a bad one go free. Miss Skywalker, as long as you cooperate with my investigation, I swear on my title as the Grand Inquisitor, I will clear your name," said Dorothy, eyeing her new witch's battle robe's leg armor that the miserable girl was about to soil. She resisted the urge to shove her away and spoke in a gentle, soothing voice.

By the way, she had read the files on the so-called Inquisition Division. The rumors were indeed false—after all, the real Torture Department was nowhere near as merciful as the legends suggested. What is compared to Hell? Hell is but a mere understudy to the Torture Department. Otherwise, where do you think the most elite torturer demons of Hell look for promotions and pay raises?

After all, this was the era of the Devil King's reign.

Whimpering, "Lord Clown... I will fully cooperate, anything you ask of me," sobbed Skywalker.

Now feeling utterly alone, she looked up at Dorothy, who seemed as sacred as the God King statue in the temple. It turned out there were indeed good people in the Judgment Court.

Feeling profoundly wronged, the Angel Witch cried louder, releasing her previous terror and frustration upon finding her savior.

But Dorothy wasn't in a hurry; she just quietly watched Skywalker cry, gently patting her back and soothingly touching those fluffy angel wings.

Well, the wings weren't bad to the touch, though she wondered if Sophia's wings would feel even better—those bright white feathers of hers seemed incomparable to Skywalker's two wings, and Dorothy was sure her roommate's touch would be superior.

She resolved to take the chance to feel them properly when the opportunity arose, and if Sophia wanted to, she could touch her Dragon's Wings or tail in return. This was what the homebody witch pondered.

Meanwhile, Skywalker, unaware that even as Dorothy touched her, the latter's mind was on another woman, finally calmed down after a good cry. As an Elite Witch herself, she had the mental fortitude needed, and her earlier behavior was merely due to overwhelming panic.

Now calmer, she realized how embarrassing her current state must be—clinging to Lord Clown's legs, crying and sniffling. It was rather despicable. It was only because of the Grand Inquisitor's kindness that she hadn't been kicked away.

She hastily released her grip from around the legs, but because Lord Clown was still touching her wings, she didn't stand up; instead, she remained seated on the ground in a duck-like position.

Underneath her mask, her face was actually flushed red. After all, an angel's wings, a Great Dragon's tail, a demon's horns—those weren't things outsiders should touch indiscriminately. Those were intimate parts only the closest person was supposed to touch. For a stranger to do so was a serious violation of sexual harassment.

However, it seemed that Lord Clown was not aware of this, and since he was kindly reassuring her, Miss Skywalker felt embarrassed to correct him. After all, it wouldn't do to jump up and scold her lifesaver as a pervert.

Moreover, Miss Skywalker didn't mind the touches from Lord Clown, for his technique was rather pleasant, and she found it quite comfortable.

Soon, Dorothy snapped out of her daydreaming and, seeing that Miss Skywalker had calmed down, she withdrew her hand and spoke with some seriousness.

"So, Miss Skywalker, I suspect an angel has tampered with you in some way, of which you might be unaware. May I examine your body? I realize this is somewhat offensive, but it is also to prove your innocence."

The Homebody Witch said this.

After all, witches are quite conscious of their privacy, and they may not even open their hearts completely to their partners, allowing them to freely examine their bodies, since everybody has some secrets, right?

In any case, Dorothy herself wouldn't dare let just anyone examine her, considering she had quite a few secrets. So, by the same token, Dorothy naturally hoped for the other party's consent before she proceeded.

Although, as the Grand Inquisitor, she had every right to conduct a forceful examination on a suspect, her prior observation and secret use of Lie Detection and other Mental Magic had already confirmed Miss Skywalker's innocence multiple times. Therefore, she believed the wrongfully accused deserved respect.

In response, Miss Skywalker wasn't one to refuse a face-saving offer, although she did feel some aversion to the thought of being laid bare before someone, which gave her a sense of insecurity. But if it was Lord Clown, she supposed it was okay to look; she understood that this was a necessary part of the investigation process.

It's just...

Seeing everyone still busy with their evaluations nearby, and now her having to undergo a body examination...

Whimper, Lord Clown, could we possibly find a more private place?

She looked pitifully at Dorothy, but ultimately gritted her teeth, nodded, and began to undress while saying,

"Lord, as you please, if it's you, I can accept anything."

Dorothy: "???"

The Homebody Witch felt like the child might have misunderstood something.

And as she realized that the Angel Witch was quickly removing her Battle Robe Armor, she abruptly intervened to stop her from stripping further.

Ah, Miss, you're going to such lengths to prove your innocence—there are so many people watching. Seriously, if this gets out, people might think I've done something indecent to you. I have a reputation to uphold, you know.

"Cough cough, no need to remove your gear, this will be sufficient."

Although a normal examination would indeed require the removal of all armor for the Judge, skilled in searching, to not miss any detail in a thorough inspection, Dorothy didn't need to go through all that trouble. She was too familiar with a witch's body; it wasn't necessary to undress.

Right away, the Homebody Witch extended a finger and gently tapped Miss Skywalker's forehead, as her spiritual power delved into the other's body.

"Ying..."

At this, the Angel Witch's delicate body trembled slightly, and she let out an involuntary soft moan.

...Dorothy continues the body examination...
