Otaku Witch-Chapter 502 - 409. Who is the protagonist?

"Wow, that's a huge.... emmm, a damn ghost ship, you fishermen really fish out everything but fish, huh?"

Just as the group from the Witch's Home club arrived at the fishing ground in the Golden Country under the leadership of Senior Mia, Dorothy spotted the ancient and damaged sailing warship that had just broken through the water.

It was clearly an old ship that had been soaked at the bottom of the sea for years. Its sails had almost completely rotted away, and its hull and deck were covered with barnacles and sludge, with ocean plants that only grow at the seabed thriving among them, amidst which vague piles of white bones were visible.

In short, the whole ship was filled with a sense of decay and ominousness.

Looking at the thin fishing line that tethered the warship, fashioned with a ram-headed demon figurehead, even the homebody witch was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Do you call this thing a 'fish'?"

Dorothy was hugely shocked.

Although she, as a homebody witch who barely ever left her house and had never fished before, had only vaguely heard some absurd tales from the witch fishing community, she was still feeling that it was beyond her expectations after seeing all this with her own eyes.

"It seems we're in luck today, to see a catch as soon as we arrive. This lucky guest has made a fortune today, as ancient ghost ships are quite rare as spiritual materials, and a lot of alchemy rituals and studies of magic require this kind of material, which is always quite expensive in the market,"

The group was also captivated by the commotion and stopped to watch, and as three Angel Witches cheered and collected the ghost ship, Senior Mia spoke with a hint of envy.

"Erm, doesn't that mean you, Senior, are at a loss here?"

Dorothy scratched her head and asked.

After all, if the guest profited, then Mia, as the owner of the fishing grounds, naturally took a loss.

"Hahaha, it looks like Little Fairy, you haven't really gone fishing much, huh? Yeah, I'm totally at a loss here,"

Hearing how her beloved spoke, the Golden Princess couldn't help but giggle.

Meanwhile, Sophia also showed a helpless expression because, although this young lady's skills in magic were unparalleled in the world, her general knowledge was somewhat lacking. She really had stayed at home too long.

"Sister, Senior Mia won't actually take a loss. It's like this...."

Audrey, ever considerate, hurriedly directed the Fox Doll perched atop her head to jump onto Dorothy's shoulder and started educating her in a whisper.

Of course, this invasion of the Fox Doll's territory caused the little Great Dragon, Fafnir, who was originally nestled there, to bare its teeth and grimace.

Fortunately, with Audrey's explanation, Dorothy quickly understood what was going on. Realizing she had made a fool of herself, the homebody witch's face turned red and she quickly pulled up her scarf around her neck, looking somewhat embarrassed.

It turned out, fishing in the Witch World wasn't merely about catching "fish" anymore, but more like a treasure hunting activity.

The Magic Pattern Array set up in the witch fishing ground not only obstructs the witches' Perception, making it hard for them to judge the underwater situation, but it also connects this tiny fishing ground randomly to other bodies of water.

So, although it seems that the witch is fishing in a designated fishing ground, in reality, no one knows into which world's waters the hook will travel once it enters the water.

Moreover, the bait used by the witches is also special. In addition to the ordinary bait genuinely intended to attract "fish," there is also a special bait called "Serendipitous Bait," blessed by the Prophecy Witches, which is not only effective for various fish but sometimes also attracts or even grabs onto some vastly different items depending on the angler's luck.

Just like the recent ghost ship.

However, not everyone is so fortunate. In fact, the Lucky Ones are always rare; most gamblers and fishermen using the expensive Serendipitous Bait end up hooking up nothing but underwater rubbish like smelly shoes, broken stones, or old undergarments discarded by mermaids.

Items like ghost ships, undersea treasures, and submerged residents from another world are rare catches and hooking one could make an ordinary witch fisherman boast for years.

Of course, that's excluding the top-tier catches like the Evil Gods lying dormant in the deep sea, Sea Dragon Species wandering the oceans, and beautifully mesmerizing mermaids.

However, these top-tier catches are not something ordinary witches dare to dream of. Putting aside whether they have the luck, even if the luck does come, it's uncertain whether it's you fishing or the fish fishing you.

Naturally, a proper witch fishing ground wouldn't be dangerous, as the array connected to other water bodies only works for the hooked fish, not the fisherman.

Therefore, even if one were dragged underwater, it would merely be a bath in the fishing pond of the fishing ground. Except for being ridiculed by fellow fishermen for a bit due to the embarrassment, it really wouldn't be a big deal.

In short, it's not just various aquatic fish species; in fact, nearly anything in a sufficiently large body of water theoretically has the chance of being fished up by witches.

This really can't be called fishing anymore, but more like an underwater blind box, a subaquatic lottery.
