And Audrey was a little unaccustomed to this, after all, she was socially anxious and not quite adjusted to such a level of closeness, but she was too embarrassed to refuse Senior Sister’s kindness.

So, she could only stand there, a bit shy and stiff, not daring to move, looking just like a delicate doll being casually manipulated by someone.

However, maybe it was because magic helped, rather than hands-on, or maybe it was because Senior Sister used the witches’ life series of small magic like the ones she normally used herself, or maybe it was because she and Senior Sister had become quite familiar with each other.

Unexpectedly, Little Fox didn’t feel very uncomfortable. Even after a while, her stiff body relaxed, feeling that having Senior Sister help her groom was no different from having her sister do it at home.

Oh, no, her sister’s skills weren’t as good as Senior Sister’s. Senior Sister’s proficiency with the witches’ magic series was really high. As a true fan, she even seemed fake in comparison.

Looking at the mirror, seeing herself dressed beautifully, her makeup much more exquisite than usual, as if personally made up by the Witch of the Forest, Audrey felt her position as the president of the Witch of the Forest’s fan club was a bit shaky.

Tsk, Senior Sister, you say you’re not a witch fan?

“Hey, Dorothy, your skills are really good. I feel you could comfortably work as a professional makeup artist at Venus in the future. Those celebrity witches there really are willing to spend money on beauty and makeup.”

Noelle Rose was also peeking over, nodding after glancing at her little niece who looked more radiant and prettier than usual.

“Do one for me too. Next time I go on a blind date, I’ll ask you to do my makeup.”

Spider Teacher stroked his chin and said so.

Dorothy rolled her eyes but still casually threw a witch’s makeup art over to the teacher.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, people really have to have self-awareness, don’t they? The reason you haven’t succeeded in blind dating isn’t because of your makeup. It’s clearly because of you.

Looking at her teacher after the makeup, with long hair draping over her chest, her temperament becoming serene, restoring the “gentle housewife” look, the Homebody Witch only felt this was a “photo trick”.

You a gentle housewife, my foot.

“Your skills are indeed full marks, you can save on beauty and makeup money in the future, it’s great.”

After showing off in front of the mirror a few times, Spider Teacher said so, inevitably making Dorothy tremble with anger.

Don’t apprentices have to pay? Do apprentices deserve to be bossed around by their teachers for free? Can this life get any better?

However, she hadn’t finished trembling when she saw her teacher pull out an enormous wallet with a plop, then slam it to the ground with a thud. The crisp sound of gold coins colliding inside the bag was so pleasing and sweet to the ears.

Homebody Witch: “……”

Damn, Teacher, did you rob a bank of gold? Where did you get so much money?

Dorothy’s black eyes were dyed the color of gold coins by that golden light coming from the bag’s opening, and she suspiciously glanced at her teacher, not understanding where this otherwise poor teacher got the money from.

Well, although from an asset perspective, her teacher was a rich woman, in terms of liquid funds, she was a poor woman who couldn’t even afford to eat.

Every time she had money, she spent it all on buying construction or puppet materials, and the various high-level materials she saved up could fill several warehouses.

She was truly a member of the sunlight clan—if it weren’t for the free meals for teachers at the academy cafeteria, she really couldn’t afford to eat.

Though the Peak Witch doesn’t really need to eat or drink anyway.

“Hee hee, this is the deposit Aunt Miko gave me yesterday. Tsk, Japan is really backward; you can’t even swipe the identity card for payment, so I can only use cash. There’s ten billion gold coins in this space bag; let’s spend it first, and ask her for more if it’s not enough.”

Seeing her little apprentice getting excited about money, Noelle Rose nodded with satisfaction.

She’s just like me.

Dorothy: “….”

She turned to look at the treasured coffin behind her, realizing it was just a small goal, and now Aunt Miko’s move was ten times her net worth, and it was just a prepayment…

Oh my, I really made the right choice choosing to be shady back then. This industry is truly lucrative.

“Here, this is the fee for your makeup earlier, and this is the pocket money from the teacher for you, and for Audrey as well. Let’s go, let’s go, the three of us will have a great time shopping on this Japan’s street today, and buy whatever catches our eye.”

Spider Teacher grabbed two handfuls of gold coins from the bag and tossed them to Dorothy, then grabbed another handful and handed it to Audrey, confidently saying so.

Dorothy quickly followed behind, eager to serve tea and water for her teacher, willing to go through fire and water without hesitation, looking like a sycophant.

Only the good child Audrey hesitated slightly.

“Second Aunt, Senior Sister, isn’t it bad for us to do this? Isn’t this using public funds for personal use?”

Little Fox looked at the two beside her with pure and watery eyes, making the two trashy witches feel guilty…

For one second.

Well, no more than that; any more would not respect the gold coins.

“Audrey, taking money and not doing things, that’s using public funds for private purposes.”

Noelle Rose said righteously to her little niece.

“Little Junior Sister, there’s something called reasonable profit within the allowable range of rules.”

The Homebody Witch earnestly taught the young junior sister.

To this, Little Fox didn’t quite understand, so she could only follow with some doubt.

And along the way, she heard the somewhat odd conversation between Senior Sister and Second Aunt ahead.

“Teacher, do you know any material shops in Japan? How much discount can we get for our big order?”

“No familiar shops, but I’m quite good at bargaining, don’t worry. Our profit on this order will not be small.”

“Oh, oh, then perhaps we can have Audrey ask for the prices later. She’s so pretty, there must be a lowest price somewhere, and Teacher, give me the construction plans. I’ll optimize them for you later to see if we can save materials while ensuring the same effect, ahem, optimizing the structure.”

“Yes, yes, optimizing the structure. We don’t do shoddy work, and Miko is my dear friend and relative, we cannot cheat her.”

“Yes, yes, yes, she’s also my dear aunt. Teacher, rest assured, I will optimize these plans properly for you. We must stand and earn this money.”

“You really know how to speak, stand and earn money, yes, the mentor and I are all principled people; we earn by skill, by brains.”

“Teacher, you understand me, my way of doing things always follows the rule of six words: fair, just, and open….”

“Yes, yes, yes, fair, just, and open, well said. So, Dorothy, give me a precise number; what’s our profit on this order?”

“Teacher, how about this number?”

“Hiss, how come it’s only thirty percent, that’s not great.”

“You and I, thirty percent each…”

“Hiss, can we still stand with that?”

“Of course, we can stand; Teacher, you’re underestimating my inspiration.

This is called a technology advantage to save costs, those who do shoddy works deserve divine retribution, we disdain it.

You see, I’ll definitely arrange this clearly for you.

Sigh, if only you didn’t keep withholding higher-level textbooks, maybe Little Junior Sister could have earned a share too. ”

“It’s fine as long as you can stand; I understand, and I’ll work harder for the next couple of days, maybe stay a bit late to see if I can come up with some materials.”

“Teacher, you’re being generous; with your words, I’m at ease.”

“Hehehe….”

“Hahaha…..”

……..

Watching the two hugging each other, conspiring wickedly, Second Aunt and Senior Sister made Little Fox feel a bit hesitant.

“Aunt, Senior Sister, isn’t this wrong? Isn’t this misusing public funds for personal purposes?”

Little Fox, with her innocent, glistening eyes, looked at her two companions, making them momentarily feel ashamed with guilt…. for a second.

Well, no more than that; too much would be disrespectful to the gold coins.

“Audrey, taking money and not doing anything, now that would be misusing public funds.”

Noelle Rose said very seriously to her little niece.

“Little Junior Sister, there’s such a thing as reasonable profit within what the rules allow.”

The Homebody Witch also seriously instructed the young junior sister.

To this, Little Fox didn’t quite understand, so she had to suspicion stop and follow along.

And along the way, she heard the conversations between her senior sister and second aunt that always seemed a bit strange.

“Teacher, do you know any good material stores on Japan? How much of a discount can we get on our big order?”

“No stores I know personally, but I’m really good at bargaining. Don’t worry about that, our profit on this order won’t be small.”

“Oh, oh, oh, then maybe we can let Audrey ask about the price later. She’s so pretty; she’s sure to get the lowest price. Plus the blueprints and materials you, teacher. We can save a lot more, right?”

“That’s right, optimizing, we don’t do things like cutting corners. Also, Miko is really generous, isn’t she? Dropping a fortune right out the gate and that’s just a deposit for her order…”

“You’re so bright, teacher, with those words I always speak about just principles, we’ll make money and stand tall.”

“You’re really someone who gets me, I always pay attention to principles when I do things too, only six principles though.”

“Well, as for you teacher, how does this figure look to you?”

“Hmm, what do you think of this amount?”

With that, she turned toward the teacher, who simply gave an open smile, proud and content with her little fox of an apprentice.

Only the good student Audrey felt a slight hesitation.

“Second Aunt, Senior Sister, is it okay for us to do this? Isn’t this using public funds for personal purposes?”

The Little Fox looked at her two money-sighted Trashy Witches, her eyes clear and bright, making them both feel a sharp pang of guilt…

For about a second.

Well, any longer wouldn’t show respect for the gold coins.

“Audrey, taking the money and not doing anything, now that’s misuse of public funds.”

Noelle Rose said this to her little niece with a straight face.

“Little Junior Sister, there’s something called reasonable profit within the rules.”

The homebody witch also earnestly taught the young Junior Sister.

To this, Little Fox did not quite understand, so she had to skeptically follow them.

And all the way she listened to the rather suspicious conversation between Senior Sister and Second Aunt.

“Teacher, do you know any material shops on Japan where we can get a good discount for our large order?”

“No familiar shops, but I’m really good at bargaining, don’t worry, we won’t make little on this order.”

“Oh oh, then maybe we can have Audrey ask the price, she’s so pretty, she’s bound to get the lowest price. Plus, with the building blueprints, teacher, how many discounts can we get on our big order?”

“You may not know this shop, but I’m very good at bargaining, so don’t worry. Our profit on this order won’t be small.”

“Oh, oh, oh, then maybe we can have Audrey ask about the price; she’s so pretty, she’d surely get us the lowest price. Also, a teacher is very good at pricing strategies and would know this, our profit on this order is not going to be less.”

“Just stand make money, understand?”

“Teacher, you know me, my principle is always to do things with meticulous clarity. If only you would give me more advanced materials, we’d be making that money standing up.”

“Teacher, you’re open-minded, with your words, I’m always conscientious about the principles in my work.”

Watching these two hug each other, sly as foxes, the Little Fox could only follow them with a hesitant tinge.

During the journey, she also overheard the conversation between her Senior Sister and Second Aunt, which for some reason, sounded a bit odd.

“Teacher, do you know any material shops on Japan where we can get a good discount on our big order?”

“No familiar shops, but I’m very good at haggling, don’t worry. Our profit on this order will not be small.”

“Oh, we can let Audrey ask the price later. She’s so pretty; she’ll surely get the lowest price, and we don’t stoop to cutting corners. Besides, Miko is very generous, isn’t she? Dropping a fortune right from the start(…).”

“That’s right, standing to make money, we won’t cut corners on this, and we won’t use public funds improperly.”

“Audrey, not doing what you’re paid to do is what we call using public funds for private use.”

Noelle Rose seriously explained this to her little niece.

“Little Junior Sister, there’s something called reasonable profit in the permissible range of rules.”

The Homebody Witch earnestly taught her young Junior Sister.

To this, Little Fox didn’t quite understand, so she hesitantly followed along.

And she also continued hearing some strange conversations between her Senior Sister and Second Aunt up ahead.

“Teacher, do you know any material shops in Japan? How much of a discount can we get on our big order?”

“I don’t know any shops, but I’m very good at bargaining, don’t worry. The profit on this order won’t be small.”

“Oh, oh, oh, then maybe later we can let Audrey ask for the price. She’s so pretty, surely she can get us a lower price. Plus, the architect’s blueprints, you didn’t give me advanced textbooks, otherwise, we’d be earning money while standing.”

“Enough, and you think Aunt Miko is not nice to us, it is for the public in a fee-shared way, rest assured, let’s start making money standing.”

To this, Spider Teacher earnestly educated her young student.

Losing her hesitation, Little Fox followed them.

At this moment, the streets are bustling with people, and the decorations and traditional garments of the East are dazzling.

“Speaking of which, teacher, what is the name of the elder sister with the deer antlers in the Herbs family? She didn’t seem very friendly when I last visited the workshop.”

Spider Teacher scratched her head and replied, “That’s just how she is. It’s not against you, she treats everyone the same cold way. But her stuff is decent, go for what you like. After all, she seems to adore you very much and is always asking about you.”

“Wow, Aunt Miko’s acolyte is really amazing, she could even create a forest directly. I bet Miko’s tips are really generous, right?”

Spider Teacher chuckled and nodded, “Exactly, little girl has potential, the more I see you, the more I like you.”
