The first sound that reached the ears of the three was a somewhat strange shout.
Dorothy was taken aback; she understood the meaning of the shout. It wasn't just some meaningless yell but a language—Japanese.
In the Witch World, Japan is considered a legendary existence. Normally, you can't find any descriptions about Japan in the outside world, but the homebody witch learned Japanese in her past life because, as a homebody, she watched and played a lot of anime and games, which naturally led to learning the language.
Of course, in her past life, her Japanese level was really only limited to listening comprehensions; reading and writing were quite a mystery to her.
However, in this life, she found quite a bit of documentation about Japanese in the Magic Web Library.
After all, no matter how special Japan is, it's still a part of the Witch World. Consequently, some knowledge of Japanese witches would naturally be uploaded and saved as backups in the Magic Web Library.
Only, the related information on Japan is categorized under high-access requirements in the Magic Web Library. Even Dorothy, disguised as the Witch of the Forest, couldn't find much. She could only browse some relatively unimportant stuff, like the language and customs.
Since this information wasn't very expensive, Dorothy spent some Library Points to buy it, thus complementing the language she half-learned in her past life.
She initially studied this because it was the only material she could find that was somewhat related to the Eastern Universe, and she didn't expect it would come in handy now.
This seemed to be the meaning of that strange shout.
This couldn't help but make Dorothy curious. After all, in her impression, "arrival" isn't a word that can be used lightly. It's often used to describe people with special status or prominent figures.
But now, she was on Yoshiwara Flower Street. Could such prominent figures really appear in such a place....
Emmm... It's possible there are indeed quite a few, but they shouldn't be so ostentatious, should they?
The homebody witch was curious.
And when the three looked in the direction of the luxurious, long procession following the sound, Sophia and Audrey, who didn't understand Japanese culture, still couldn't grasp what was happening, but Dorothy quickly understood everything.
"Ah, is this the legendary Oiran Parade?"
Teenage boys are always curious about such matters, so in her past life, she specifically researched a lot about it, and as a result, she had some understanding of it.
A so-called Oiran is the most famous and highest-status courtesan in a brothel.
The Oiran Parade, in simple terms, is a procession showcasing the Oiran, which was also a form of advertisement used by brothels back then to display their establishment's strength to the guests on Flower Street.
Moreover, based on the scale of the brothel or the rank of the Oiran, there were different levels of procession specifications.
And now, the large procession slowly approaching them was clearly that top-tier Oiran Parade.
"Wow, I didn't expect to be so lucky to witness the most attractive Oiran on the entire Flower Street on my first visit?"
The homebody witch was instantly excited.
At this moment, other passersby on the street also heard the commotion, and everyone gathered on both sides of the main road, eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of the beauty of the top Oiran of Yoshiwara. Dorothy, not wanting to be outdone, quickly led her two sisters to secure the best spot and peered around, waiting eagerly to see the beauty.
Of course, considering her little junior sister might not adapt well to the crowded situation, Dorothy thoughtfully released her Dragon's Might.
Thus, as the Dragon's Might swept over, the surrounding witch passersby subconsciously backed away, creating a large empty space as if there was something terrifying like a flood beast within it.
However, such a flamboyant scene should logically attract a lot of attention, but this bizarre scene didn't catch the slightest bit of attention from the witch passersby.
This was a new technique the homebody witch had recently devised.
When a person is in extreme fear, they often go into self-deception, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, pretending the fear doesn't exist.
This is a protective mechanism of intelligent beings when facing indescribable horrors to prevent their sanity from being overwhelmed by the irresistible terror.
The principle behind the technique Dorothy used is based on this protective mechanism. When the targets fall into extreme fear under her Dragon's Might, they start self-deception, ignoring her presence entirely.
Theoretically, these witch passersby can see her figure, hear her voice, and smell her scent, but everyone ignores this information. Their brains and souls actively refuse to accept this information. Therefore, the passersby are entirely unaware of seeing, hearing, or smelling traces of a certain existence.
This is a more domineering and powerful concealment skill than the Akari Technique, which Dorothy named "Calm as Still Water" (Does anyone still remember Slick Ghost?).
