At that moment, the barbecue was actually almost ready, it was just that Sophia hadn't gotten off work yet, so it wasn't quite time to eat.

Dorothy merely cast a witch's Food Preservation Spell on the cooked food and then, having nothing better to do, lay on the balcony and chatted with her cost-effective little junior sister.

"Continue."

She shouted to the Little Fox below and then casually took two skewers from the cooked Grilled Meat Mountain and threw them downstairs.

Well, it seemed that the Barrier of the Tower of Shine was still not perfect, as it didn't block the smells. That cheap junior must have been lured by the aroma of the food and sent a Puppet to protest.

In response, Dorothy casually set up a small Barrier to block the aroma and then beautifully picked up two skewers for herself, sharing one with the Hat Senior Sister above her head while enjoying the other.

Well, one could only say that the soulful barbecue she made herself was indeed a level above the automated products of culinary magic. It was so irresistible that even Audrey, who was severely antisocial, couldn't help but come knocking in protest. I was invincible this round.

She took a bite of the skewer, and then the rich aroma and the juiciness of the meat made her squint her eyes in enjoyment.

Ah, sorry, Sophia, this was just a taste test as a chef, definitely not me eating behind your back.

While savoring the deliciousness, the homebody witch apologized to her angel housemate who hadn't yet returned.

Then her hand unconsciously grabbed another skewer, and her hat also sneakily stretched a wicked tentacle towards that mountain of meat.

Downstairs, seeing the grilled skewers that fell from the sky, Audrey, who was doing some Succubus Exercise that her family had passed down to maintain her figure, also raised her hand, and an invisible hand of magic power wrapped around the two skewers and brought them into her hands.

Little Fox first brought her nose close to sniff them, instantly confirming that the irresistible, decadent, indescribable deliciousness from upstairs was indeed from these skewers. And as the president of the Witches' Support Club, she immediately found the corresponding recipe in her mind from the Witches' Magical Kitchen series.

Hmm, Witch's Secret Beef Skewers, huh.

She had also tried to make them herself before, but....

Well... fate is fair, having granted her unparalleled beauty and exceptional artistic talent, there had to be a balance somewhere else.

Thus, even though it's somewhat embarrassing to admit, her culinary talent was nonexistent, belonging to that type who could blow up the kitchen even while following a recipe, and this strange kitchen curse couldn't even be solved by magic.

Even though the most outstanding curse of her idol was from the kitchen series, even though Audrey had bought and learned every one of them, the final products, despite the successful casting of the spells, always turned out to be a pile of indescribable strange things.

To this day, her signature dishes included a salted fish pie that died with its eyes open, a cake that looked fine but was filled with bizarre eye patterns when cut open, and a roasted chicken that grew tentacles...

Since she had blown up the kitchen at home with her wild mishandling, the whole family had simply forbidden her from nearing the kitchen, and now that she lived with her sister, it was her sister who cooked.

Now, looking at the skewers in her hands, which were perfect in color, aroma, and even faintly radiated a sacred light, and thinking about her shameful cooking skills, Little Fox guiltily shook her ears, and her nine tails shamefully poked at each other.

Wuu wuu wuu, perhaps I should cede my position as president of the Witches' Support Club to my senior sister. Compared to my sister's mastery of witch curses, I am nothing.

With tears in her mind, Little Fox thought this way while turning her sorrow into appetite and took a big bite.

Although her parents and sister had always cautioned her not to randomly eat food from strangers when outside, she was at home now, and her senior sister could hardly be considered a stranger, so this definitely didn't count as breaking the rules.

While she was eating, Audrey thought this to herself.

Then, the moment her lips gently touched the roasted meat, the young Fox Witch's eyes widened dramatically, her two fox ears stood straight up, and her body shuddered all over.

Ah, could there be such a wonderful sensation in this world?

At that moment, Audrey, in pursuit of artistic beauty, felt as if she had found her inspiration.

If it hadn't been for her senior sister watching her from upstairs, which made her social anxiety act up, preventing her from speaking, she might have immediately burst into a song of praise for the Witch of the Forest who had bestowed such delicious food upon her humble self.

So this was the taste of high-level witch's culinary arts, sister, what on earth had you been making before?

Little Fox squinted her eyes in enjoyment of the delicious food, thinking that all the meals she had before were a waste. She had thought her sister's cooking was quite tasty, but compared to her senior's skills, could those even be called cooking?

Wuwuwu, it's so delicious, I really hope I can eat this every day....

emmmm, it's over, once I've tasted this flavor, I probably can't go back to the past. How am I supposed to live the days without this taste?

After the two skewers of meat in her hand had been unconsciously eaten up, Audrey suddenly realized this serious problem, feeling empty both in heart and stomach.

Ah this.....

Though Little Fox wanted to resist the damn temptation of this delicious food with her strong will, the moment she got slightly distracted, she found herself unconsciously lifting her gaze to her senior upstairs.

No matter how much she looked, it seemed that there were no more skewers of meat dropping from the sky.

Audrey, Audrey, where's your cultivation as an artist, your family's honor? How can you long for someone else's charity like a beggar? You must embrace your resolve and not submit to that damn desire.

Little Fox was scolding herself in her heart while her fox ears and tail drooped powerlessly behind her, clearly unable to deceive herself with such nonsense.

No, I need to find a way to distract myself.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Audrey thought this to herself, and it seemed that only her pursuit and dedication to art could combat that damn aroma.

So...

"Senior sister, can you teach me your Puppetry Technique?"

Her consciousness connected to her Puppet still upstairs, trying hard to keep the Puppet's gaze away from the mountain of meat next to her senior sister, while she made her request like this.

Meanwhile, Dorothy found it quite amusing watching the junior sister-like Puppet before her. This junior was as naive as a blank sheet of paper, too easy to read.

Planning to combat food cravings with art?

Being idle as well, the homebody witch, though she had seen through everything, didn't expose her junior's thoughts. She only slapped away a little tentacle that tried to steal a bite from under her hat, then took out a fishing rod from her magic bag. Find exclusive stories on empire

She hung a large steak on the fishing rod and started fishing for the fox on the balcony.

"You want to learn my Puppetry Technique, huh? But first, you have to pass my basic test. Since you are also into puppets, you surely know the basics of Magic Condensing Thread. So, restrict your magic power to 100 Mana. If you can get this steak with your Magic Silk Thread, then you will have passed the test,"

Dorothy said with a smile.

For her part, Audrey stared hard at the steak used as bait, tears of desire for art flowing down the corners of Little Fox's mouth.

"It's a deal."

The Puppet next to Dorothy replied with gusto.

And then...

That led to the previous scene.

...the caught senior and junior suffering social death...
