Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"Ah...you really...why do you have to do this?"

"I don't want to hurt anyone in the village."

Wolfgang had not slept all night. His voice was a little hoarse, but his will remained firm.

"If I can't turn back into a human, I will lose control of myself sooner or later. Please, I must turn back into a human."

"...There's really nothing I can do about you."

"Does that mean you agree?"

"I can't guarantee success. Making potions is not something that can be done out of nothing. I need some mercury and nettles."

"Yes, yes, yes! They are all here. I'll go find them right away!"

Wolfgang was so excited that he completely ignored Angelica's unhappy smacking of lips when she heard that she was able to gather all the materials.

The werewolf acted extremely quickly and collected enough materials before lunch. After Angelica counted them, they were indeed the ingredients for refining the potion to lift the werewolf curse, and the quality was absolutely up to standard.

"Well...okay. Come see me again in the evening. Also, since I helped you, you have to give something in return."

"I'll give you whatever you want."

"We plan to stay in Bonn Village for a few more days. To be specific... seven days. I'll leave our accommodation and food to you during this time."

"I will handle it!"

Wolfgang readily agreed to Angelica's request. Wolfgang originally thought there would be a follow-up, but the witch never made any other requests afterwards.

Could it be that she is a troublesome person but actually a very nice person? She is simply an angel!

Wolfgang sighed like this. He felt that Angelica had every reason to ask for more. Even if Angelica asked for his arm, he wouldn't blink an eye.

The afternoon was particularly long for Wolfgang. He decided to treat his transformation back into a human being as a surprise and go meet his fellow villagers in human form tomorrow.

After dinner, Wolfgang couldn't wait to find the witch.

"How's the progress? If there's not enough materials, I'll go find more!"

Angelica shook the glass bottle in her hand, which was filled with colorful and strange liquid that Wolfgang couldn't understand. It was the result of the witch's potion making.

"Before I give it to you, I'll ask you one last question. You need to think carefully about it."

"I've made my decision and I don't regret it."

"You said you can't find a girlfriend as a werewolf? Actually, you may not be able to find one even if you turn back into a human."

"It's the truth but saying it out loud is too hurtful!"

Seeing that persuasion was hopeless, Angelica curled her lips and threw the glass bottle over like throwing away garbage. Wolfgang raised his hands and timidly caught the glass bottle in the air.

That was a close call! It almost broke!

Wolfgang was still in shock, and what made him even more depressed was that the witch had a very regretful expression, as if she wanted the potion to break into pieces. But no matter what, Wolfgang finally got the potion he had always dreamed of.

Wolfgang unscrewed the cork and drank the potion in the glass bottle. It tasted extremely bad, like a tablecloth with seasonings stir-fried, but Wolfgang felt extremely happy because he could finally return to his human identity.

Wolfgang's tall body gradually shrank from over two meters in height to about 1.8 meters. His thick hair all shrank back, and his wolf head turned into a human face. His facial features were full of righteousness, and he looked like a strong man.

"I'm back to being human! I'm back to being human!"

"I understand how you feel, but if someone comes in now, you won't be able to explain it."

Wolfgang looked down and saw that due to his shrunken stature, his shorts were obviously several sizes too large and had fallen off his waist.

The witch lady, who was not shy at all, had a frivolous look on her delicate face, saying "That's all." It was only then that Wolfgang finally believed that—

She is not an angel, she is definitely a devil.

Angelica's name comes from the Latin word Angelicus, which means "angelic".

29 The Curse of the Werewolf

The next morning, the entire village of Bonn was in an uproar.

The news of Wolfgang's transformation back into a human spread quickly, and the whole village surrounded Wolfgang. If Wolfgang could not tell the story of what had happened in the village over the past decade, the villagers would even suspect that he was a liar. After all, Wolfgang did not leave any trace of being a werewolf.

His height had shrunk by several dozen centimeters, and his face originally had that of a wolf, which had nothing in common with the human face of today.

"Are you really Wolfgang?"

"I'm not going to lie to you. I'm back to being human."

"I'm still a little uncomfortable..."

"Yeah, we're all used to your werewolf appearance, but it's still quite strange to me now."

"Look at the bright side. At least Wolfgang can drink with us from now on. Before, his hands were claws, so he could only hold the glass, and it was easy to spill it."

"Let's celebrate with a drink tonight!"

The villagers were talking about it. Although they had been accustomed to coexisting with werewolves for the past twenty years, they all knew that werewolves were ultimately an evil curse. It would be a lie to say that they were not afraid of a monster that had the ability to kill them at any time. Who could completely adapt to a wild beast living in the village?

Then the villagers dispersed, as every household had work to do. However, about half an hour later, people gathered together again and surrounded the village chief.

"what happened?"

"Village leader, the waterwheel is not working."

"Oh? Then go and inspect it. Are you planning to let an old man like me repair the waterwheel?"

"No, it's me who can't turn the waterwheel."

Wolfgang said with a little embarrassment that he had gone to turn the waterwheel as usual, but it took him a lot of effort and the waterwheel only worked slowly. When Wolfgang was in the wolf form, he went to turn the waterwheel alone. It was not easy, but it was indeed a job that could be done by one person.

It would be better to say that the waterwheel in Bonn Village was designed specifically for Wolfgang. The werewolf possessed extraordinary strength that was unattainable by humans. Over the past decade, the villagers of Bonn Village had already adapted to Wolfgang's help. His hands were claws and he could not farm, so he used this method to exchange for food.

Wolfgang, who turned back into a human, still had strong muscles, but humans have their limits after all. He was almost exhausted and his efficiency was less than one-tenth of that when he was a werewolf.

The village chief stroked his beard. This was a problem. Apart from the werewolf Wolfgang, who else had that much strength?

"We can't let the crops run out of water. Let's unite and turn the waterwheel together."

"so troublesome……"

"No other way, come on, come on, give me a hand."

At the call of the village chief, some strong men went with Wolfgang to turn the waterwheel. Everyone was exhausted and sweating. Although the men in the village were accustomed to physical labor, this was much more strenuous than farming before.

Soon people started arguing again. The person who turned the waterwheel today proposed a shift system, but when the others saw the people sweating profusely and looking exhausted, they said they were unwilling to do anything. Finally, with the efforts of the village chief to mediate, a shift system was temporarily implemented.

"We said we would go to the pub tonight..."

"Who's in the mood for that?"

The villagers rolled their eyes at Wolfgang. In fact, Wolfgang himself didn't have much strength left. He opened his mouth and finally sighed heavily. The atmosphere of singing and dancing in the evening was gone. At least today, the people who went to turn the waterwheel together didn't want to do anything except go home and lie down.

"good evening."

This time it was Angelica who was waiting for Wolfgang outside the house. Wolfgang forced a smile, and the good mood he had in the morning when he turned back into a human was gone.

The witch lady was not surprised by Wolfgang's embarrassment. She was not here to help Wolfgang, she just came to tell him.

"I don't plan to do anything during the few days I stay in Bonn Village. If you have any problems, don't come to me. I still have to teach Abigail magic. I will leave on time in seven days."

"……it is good."

Wolfgang was extremely tired and could only nod in response.

Five days passed in a flash, and during these five days, the people of Bonn Village had become more and more dissatisfied. No one was willing to turn the waterwheel, but someone had to do it. Over the past decade, they had reclaimed the farmland to the point where the waterwheel was squeezed to the limit, making it particularly difficult to give up the waterwheel now.

On the fifth day, troubles came one after another.

"Oh no! Village chief! People from the neighboring village are here to find us! They are a bunch of people, with weapons in their hands!"

The village chief hurriedly rushed outside the village. People from the two villages were confronting each other outside the village, holding weapons such as pitchforks in their hands. It seemed that a rural fight was inevitable.

In terms of numbers, the people from the neighboring village clearly had the upper hand, so the mayor of Bonn Village hurried to mediate.

"Let's sit down and discuss anything..."

"It's nothing to discuss!"

"Twenty years! Have you ever considered our feelings in the past twenty years? Do you want to sit down and discuss it now?"

The village chief's kind words of advice immediately aroused the hostility of the downstream villages. A villager from Bonn Village, who was usually arrogant, subconsciously scolded the people from the neighboring village.

"How dare you speak to us like that? Don't forget that we have..."

The villagers stopped talking abruptly. People in the neighboring villages panicked for a moment. They had lived in the shadow for twenty years.

The leader calmed the panic with a roar.

"Don't think we don't know—you don't have any more human wolves!"

Because Bonn Village occupied the upstream water source and only cared about their own convenience, forcing people from the downstream villages to come to their village from a long distance to fetch water, the news that Wolfgang had turned back into a human could not be blocked at all, and it quickly spread to the neighboring villages from the water fetchers. At first they were not sure, until more and more water fetchers reported back, they finally realized that the biggest support of Bonn Village: the werewolf, had disappeared for some reason.

Twenty years of resentment suddenly erupted, and the call to go to Bonn Village to seek an explanation was unanimous.

"From now on, you are not allowed to cut off the water source at the entrance of your village. You must come to our village to get water! We will beat anyone who dares to disobey us!"

"You...you guys should not go too far!"

"You are the ones who have always been too bullying! Stop talking nonsense and start doing it!"

A massive fight ensued, and the two sides fought from day to dusk. Naturally, Bonn Village was defeated, and the village chief had to verbally agree to the long-standing and overbearing demands of the neighboring village before temporarily persuading them to go back.

Although no villagers died, countless people were seriously injured, had broken bones, or were unconscious. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the merchants said goodbye and left.

"Oh... Lord, what should I do in the days ahead..."

"Do we really have to go to the neighboring village to fetch water? They won't even let us use the water truck..."

"They said they would come again tomorrow..."

"Damn it!"

A slightly injured villager slammed the table hard, expressing what everyone was thinking.

"If only Wolfgang hadn't turned back into a human! It's all his fault!"

Ha ha--

Wolfgang laughed dryly twice and remained silent.

30 The Witch Lady's Experience

Early morning of the seventh day.

Two girls appeared at the entrance of Bonn Village: Angelica and Abigail. They did not have heavy luggage and did not need to check their luggage when they left.

"Sister Angelica got up very early today."

"You must be thinking that I always get up late, right?"

Angelica grabbed Abigail's cheek angrily, but she deliberately left Bonn Village before the rooster crowed today. Angelica did have her own plan.

Angelica had just walked out of the village when someone followed closely behind her.

"Please wait."

The person who came was Wolfgang, and he stopped the witch who was about to leave.

"I have a favor to ask of you - can you please turn me back into a werewolf?"

"Huh? Why?"

Abigail was puzzled. She had been learning magic with Angelica these days and was unaware of the gradually depressing atmosphere in the village.

She couldn't understand Wolfgang's decision to turn back into a human, and at this moment Wolfgang was in no mood to explain to Abigail. He stared straight at Angelica, waiting for the witch's answer.

Angelica took off a bottle of potion from her belt. She had expected that this day would come for Wolfgang, so when she was making the potion to turn Wolfgang back into a human, she also made a potion for the werewolf curse.

"I need to remind you..."

Before Angelica finished her words, Wolfgang snatched the potion, unscrewed the cork and drank it all in one gulp, not much slower than the last time he was eager to regain his human identity.

The potion can only take effect once.
