My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 26: Eat people with a short mouth and use soft hands

Roland was not in a hurry to eat the table full of dishes.

Just as Roland had thought before, the woman in front of him was extremely understanding.

Basically, his thoughts were written all over his face.

Although she said it nicely, this table of food was to repay Roland for his previous help.

But her expression clearly said otherwise.

The witch lady sitting opposite him put her hands under the table and rubbed them awkwardly, her eyes filled with anticipation.

No, that's not right. It's more of an eagerness than anticipation.

It was as if he couldn't wait for Roland to start eating.

This guy is really not good at hiding his emotions and intentions.

Roland, who was about to pick up the cutlery and start eating, silently put the cutlery back on the plate.

As expected, Kalia's expression suddenly became nervous.

"W-What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"No." Roland shook his head slightly. "Rather, it suits my taste. It doesn't look or smell bad at all."

"Then how did you..."

"Don't be impatient, Kalia. Your evil intentions are clearly written on your face."

Roland complained helplessly, then added, "Although I don't think you have any shameful intentions."

"But if you have something to say, just get straight to the point. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Kalia lowered her head and played with her fingers. "You actually figured it out... Then I'll be frank."

"Well, tell me."

"you eat first!"

"You tell me first and then I'll consider whether to eat it or not."

"If you don't eat it, I won't tell you!"

"Then I won't eat."

"You! I spent all morning working on this delicious dish! Please at least respect my hard work!"

"I'm grateful for your kindness. After eating your food, it's hard for me to refuse you."

"..."

After a fruitless debate, Kalia sighed and said, "Forget it, just eat first. I promise not to use this to threaten you, okay?"

"You really intend to use this table of food to threaten me..."

"Ahem, that's not important!"

Kalia coughed twice, leaned back in her chair and said, "This is what happened."

"Last night the old lady... never mind, she's still in town. Let's call the teacher. It would be bad if we get caught."

"Last night, the teacher came to see me after finishing his work."

"She asked me to help clean up the divine plague pollution in the sewer, but she thought it was too dirty and didn't want to go down..."

"stop."

Roland was glad that he hadn't eaten Kalia's cooking yet.

Although it does look like a table full of delicious food, there is no need to turn yourself into a sewer cleaner just for a bite of food.

If it weren't for investigating the disaster, he wouldn't go into the sewer.

"Hey~~~Are you too ruthless?"

Kalia slumped down, using one arm as a pillow, resting her head lazily on it. "After all, we're comrades who've been through this together. You can't just stand by and watch someone die."

"If it weren't for you, I don't think I would have gotten into so much trouble." Roland folded his arms, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Please, please~~~ The sewer is so dirty, and the old lady...teacher actually asked me to complete the entire sewer purification work by myself. Isn't that too much?"

"After all, I'm a girl, okay?"

Roland sighed: "Instead of coming to me to complain and seek unlikely help, it's better to take action quickly."

"...You're not really going to help me, are you?" Kalia raised her head and stared at Roland with dead fish eyes.

"Stare~~~"

Roland: "..."

"Oh~~~ Never mind, let's talk about something else."

Her eye contact was ineffective, and Kalia suddenly became listless. "Roland, have you taken the exam for the Royal Capital Magic Academy?"

"How's that academy? What's the capital like? Is it more prosperous than Riskan?"

"Why are you asking this?" Roland asked.

"Isn't it just pure curiosity?"

It doesn't look like simple curiosity at all.

Roland grumbled inwardly, then recalled, "College? The exam wasn't held inside the college, but from the professors and lecturers I've met, I feel the overall learning atmosphere is pretty good." "As for the capital, I can't say much. After all, I was there for the exam, and I didn't go very far."

"If I must say, in terms of prosperity alone, the capital is about the same as Reskan."

"However, the royal capital is much larger than Reskan. Besides the actual royal capital, several nearby noble territories also fall within the traditional definition of a royal capital."

"Eh~~ I see..." Kalia said listlessly. After a moment's silence, she asked, "Roland, my teacher asked me to attend the Royal Capital Magic Academy. He said they want to develop my social skills."

"He said that if I continued to stay alone in the forest, I would be deceived again and again."

Roland nodded: "That makes sense."

Kalia rarely refuted, and her worried and anxious mood was shown on her face without reservation.

Roland only had to observe for a moment to understand what the other person was thinking.

Unlike Riskan, who was forced to come here because of being hunted, going to the Royal Capital Magic Academy to study means truly leaving the forest where he had lived for sixteen years.

He could understand Kalia's feelings at the moment. He felt the same way when he first went to boarding school.

Compared to a strange dormitory and roommates with unknown personalities, everything familiar at home is better.

Kalia looked at the steaming dishes on the table and said after hesitating for a moment, "Actually... there's something I haven't told you yet."

"what?"

"The teacher said that she hopes you can take care of me more in the academy. In return, she will agree to a condition within her ability."

After saying this, Kalia quickly sat up straight and said, "Of course, if you don't want to, I can talk to the teacher."

Roland: "...What will happen if I don't agree?"

"You know, the teacher doesn't like others rejecting her conditions."

"..."

Roland sighed softly and comforted himself.

If I just take care of her during college life, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

And this guy is quite good at cooking.

Maybe I won’t have to cook anymore.

Not to mention Ms. Fram's reward, which is a promise from a nine-ring strong man, and it is no longer a reward that can be measured by money.

If I think about it carefully, it seems that I am not at a disadvantage.

"Okay, for Ms. Fram's sake." Roland nodded.

"Then I told the teacher."

Kalia said and walked towards the door.

When she reached the small courtyard outside the door, she finally couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Yeah! This guy got fooled!"

Although most of what Kalia just said was true, she also told a harmless lie at the most crucial point.

Fram's original words were: "If that guy doesn't want to, forget it. I'll ask someone else to take care of you. If he's willing, I'll agree to a condition within my ability."

Yes, no threatening content.

But Kalia didn't say anything, did she? The old woman really didn't like people rejecting her offers, but this time it wasn't within her scope.

Is there a problem? No problem at all, right?
Hehe, the plan worked! I made you call me stupid! I made you want to ditch me and run away!
Kalia covered her mouth and chuckled, then took a few deep breaths before calming herself down, turned around and walked into the room again.

Roland had already started eating heartily.

"Ah, you've already started eating!"

Kalia was stunned for a moment when she saw Roland eating heartily, and then she smiled again with the look of success.

"Yeah, haven't you finished talking about your business?"

Roland thought the conditions were acceptable and chose not to waste the food on the table. After all, he was indeed a little hungry.

"Since you've eaten it, you have to help me clean the sewer!"

"what?"

"These are obviously two different things, aren't they?" Kalia smiled frivolously, then happily sat down at the table: "Eat quickly, and then we'll go out together!"

Roland: "..."

So it's two things? Do you only prepare one table of dishes for two things?

Are you reluctant to even give me one more sugar-coated bullet?

"Aren't you going to eat?" Roland asked Kalia, who was watching him eat.

Kalia smiled and shook her head: "No, I've already eaten!"

"All of this is prepared for you! Please eat it well!"
