Chapter 106 - The Witch Likes You (1/2)

”Then why the hell are you still laughing?” The girl questioned, looking to be quite frustrated.

”I'm sorry,” Hecathe apologized but continued laughing, ”I'll stop.”

”...”

The man had surely said he would stop laughing but he was certainly taking his own sweet time and the girl didn't look to be impressed with this.

The girl rolled her eyes as she sat down on the floor, facing Hecathe, and patiently waited for the man to completely calm down.

Once Hecathe had managed to stop laughing, he straightened his back and coughed awkwardly before getting serious as he questioned, ”Were you able to rent another room?”

The girl shook her head as she heard this question and replied, ”The Landlady said there was no need for that.”

”No need?” Hecathe frowned as he repeated and waited for her to continue.

She nodded her head as she added, ”The Landlady said it would be alright for me to live with you.”

Hecathe couldn't help but be a little shocked as he heard this.

For the landlady to say something like that... Did she not want to earn profit anymore...?!

”She said I looked too poor to pay the rent and she wasn't looking to take in another charity case,” The girl added with a chuckle and Hecathe pursed his lips into a thin line as he suddenly understood why the Landlady had refused to give this girl a room.

”Did you not give her the money?” Hecathe asked and the girl scratched the back of her neck as she avoided eye contact and muttered a response.

”She never asked for it...”

”....”

Hecathe sighed as he heard this and looked around before picking up a pillow and handing it over to the girl, ”You can sleep here for tonight but you better get another room by tomorrow.”

Her eyes immediately seemed to be sparkling as she looked at the man and enthusiastically nodded her head.

”Thank you, sir!”

Hecathe nodded his head and didn't bother saying anything more as he sighed and took out Alphius's dairy from his suitcase.

The girl kept on observing the man's actions without daring to move away from her spot and at first, Hecathe didn't seem to have noticed it, however, when he did, he couldn't help but frown as he looked back at the girl.

”What is it?” Hecathe asked and the girl gulped as she shook her head.

”It's nothing.”

”Then why are you looking at me?” Hecathe raised his eyebrows as he questioned.

”Sir, weren't you going to tell me what my job would be?”

”Oh, that...” Hecathe pursed his lips into a thin line as he shrugged his shoulder and responded, ”We can do that tomorrow. You must be tired so you should rest a little.”

Her eyes widened as she heard the latter part and once again, she kept her eyes on Hecathe with an indecipherable expression on her face.

Hecathe started writing down in the diary and once again, didn't notice that the girl was still staring at him.

”Master, where did you get this witch from?” The Dorgon immediately interrupted Hecathe as he questioned.

”A gambling den,” Hecathe responded without caring about it too much.

”Eh...?” The girl couldn't hear nor understand the Dorgon so she looked to be confused as she suddenly heard Hecathe speaking to himself.

”It's nothing. I'm talking to the overgrown lizard,” Hecathe shrugged his shoulder as he continued to pay attention to what he wrote in the diary.

”Ah...” The girl nodded in understanding and didn't bother saying anything more as she simply sat there staring at Hecathe.

”Master, I think this witch likes you.”

Hecathe almost choked on empty air as he heard this comment from the Dorgon and the girl flinched a little in surprise as she saw Hecathe suddenly stopping.

”What happened, Sir?” She asked in worry as she leaned forward.

Hecathe coughed and shook his head in disbelief as he replied, shrugging it off as something unimportant, ”It's nothing. Just the overgrown lizard talking nonsense.”

”Master, I'm being honest here!” The Dorgon immediately tried to defend himself but Hecathe naturally ignored him.

”Sir, Doesn't your pet have a name...?” The girl asked curiously and her whole face looked to be bright as if she was happy with just talking about the creature.
