004. First acquaintance

"So, now that you've recovered, why don't you tell me about you?"

Estelle took the wooden bowl from Worcester, ready to take another bowl, Estelle was still smiling, she was quite confident in her cooking skills.

Worcester's mouth stopped, but it was also because the stew was very hot, and the bread had just been baked, and he was stirring the food in the bowl with a spoon, which was a little rude, but his attention had been distracted.

It's mine.... Is this the case.....

But his identity really has to be hidden, in the demon world, even children know that human beings actually have a deep contradiction with the people of the demon world, how big can the contradiction be... Worcester has no concept either, but it's absolutely not okay to expose himself easily.

But this one in front of me is my savior.... If it weren't for her, I'd probably die of heat stroke or drown....

Worcester looked a little hesitant, and he subconsciously avoided Estelle's gaze.

"Huh?"

Estelle looked at him with interest, her chin propped up at a hesitant Worcester.

"Is it a runaway teenager?"

.... Family? ....

That's right.. The people I want to remember are my family, the most important family, but they... Who exactly....?

Worcester couldn't help but show a sad look, and the sadness was like a tide, and even instantly infected Estelle in front of her.

She was a little nervous, probably saying the wrong thing, the young man in front of her should have experienced some big change.

"Ahh Please forgive me if I say something wrong! ”

Estelle looked embarrassed and added a large spoonful of steaming stew to Worcester's bowl.

"I probably understand the situation, although I don't know what happened to you, but there should be no other place to go like this...... It's better to stay and be my helper~ It's the price to take care of you. ”

Wooster raised his head in some surprise and some shame, his eyes were shining with tears, in fact, he was just thinking that he should say goodbye to Estelle when he woke up, after all, he couldn't cause trouble to others, but he had nothing, and he didn't even know how to survive after saying goodbye. And Estelle's willingness to take him in made Worcester feel a great warmth.

"Eh, don't cry, such a big person, it's not like I won't take you in, and I'm like a child..."

Well.....? Such a big individual? I'm still very short...

"Is thirteen such a big person?" Worcester asked dumbfounded.

"Scare?" As if to make sure she had heard correctly, Estelle rubbed her ears, "Did you say you're only thirteen?" ”

"Uh... Is it hard to see...."Worcester stroked his forehead and subconsciously touched the horn that only children have, but he didn't touch anything.....

Eh, Wooster wasn't worried that this behavior would cause Estelle's doubts, after all, in her eyes, she just touched her forehead helplessly, but her horns ..... It's gone.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you about age, but it's good to be young, and your silver hair is beautiful." Estelle stroked her silver hair, making Wooster feel as if she had seen someone's tracks.

"Thanksβ€”" Worcester looked at Estelle blankly, which made her blush a little.

"Why are you looking at me.... Hum. Estelle pursed her lips and looked away with a proud face, but immediately burst out laughing out loud.

"Introduce yourself again, my name is Esdale, you can call me Sister Dyer, a pharmacist, Wooster-kun, please give me more advice in the future."

β€”β€”β€”

After the meal, Worcester also followed Estelle to help with the housework, I have to say, his recovery ability is quite outrageous, he didn't even have the strength to pick up a glass of water an hour ago, and he was already able to help with housework after the meal, although Worcester himself didn't realize that he should continue to lie on the bed and pretend... But he was taken care of by Estelle, and he should still do something for her.

"He's recovering well." Estelle looked at him with a very meaningful gaze.

Worcester also realized that it was possible to reveal his identity as a demon worlder, but he just smiled awkwardly, explaining that his recovery ability was indeed very good, and he estimated that Estelle would not suspect that he was a demon worlder, after all, it was unheard of for a demon world to come to the human world.

He stopped the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and was in a trance, thinking that the people in the human world were not in the same way as the people of the demon world, and it turned out that there were people like Estelle who were willing to accept him.

Wrong. Wooster sighed, now that she thinks of me as a human, if the fact that I'm a demon is exposed, will she be like those people....

β€”β€”β€”

"Hmph β™ͺ"

Wooster hummed a song, he enjoyed the calming process, and the mundane task of washing the dishes and chopsticks also made him feel at ease.

(*Quite a loud foul mouth)

Estelle yelled quite loudly, and the momentum made Worcester wonder if he had accidentally done something wrong, and hurriedly put down his work and rushed into Estelle's studio.

However.......

Worcester stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, greeted by the thick aroma of herbs, all kinds of bottles and cans were poured on the ground, all kinds of bottles contained strange liquids, the stove was burning, and the potions on the stove were bubbling with indescribable gas, Estelle was pouring on the herbs, as if she was sifting through the herbs... It's a complete mess of an evil apothecary's workshop. Most of all, though, the room was a little stuffy with the windows open, and Estelle seemed to be in a strange state of intoxication, unaware that she was disheveled, and looked rather angry, muttering something incessantly.

"That's... Sister Dale, what happened? ”

Wooster blushed a little, and he tried to convince himself not to keep staring at Estelle, but he couldn't help but look down, after all, the scene was so beautiful at the moment.

It was a full few seconds later, just as Worcester was about to leave, that Estelle noticed Worcester standing in the doorway.

"Yikes!"

Estelle noticed her embarrassment, and immediately blocked her chest, her face flushed, and she was a little embarrassed.

"You guy... How did you get in..."

"Ahh I'm not.... I just heard you and came in, Sister Dale... I.. Not intentionally.."

Worcester also subconsciously covered his eyes, of course, just like all normal boys, he would leave a small slit........

"If it's okay, then I'll go.. Sister Dale keep busy with you! ”

After saying that, just as Worcester was about to turn his head and walk away, Estelle stopped him directly.

"You saw all the gaffes just now..."

Estelle stared at Wooster with some resentment, as if she was going to swallow him alive, and Worcester was so frightened that he stood upside down.

"It just so happens... I don't have a few herbs here, and I can't get out of my body while I'm putting the finishing touches, so you can help me go to the back mountain to pick some back..... This is your first assignment as an apprentice. ”

Yes? Only... That's it?

Worcester breathed a sigh of relief, he was just picking herbs, and thought it was some kind of terrible punishment. Although he also knew that Estelle would not do anything to him.....

"Little... Be careful. ”

Estelle put on her coat and straightened her clothes, still blushing at Worcester.

"The herb basket is next to it, I have already put in the missing herbs just now, you just need to find this one that looks like it."

Under Estelle's gaze, Worcester cautiously left the cabin, speaking of which was his first time seeing the human world, although he was curious about the difference between this place and the demon world, but behind Estelle's gaze was like a knife on Worcester's body......

Hurry up, of course!

"What you just saw..... Whole! Division! Forget! Fall! ”

Estelle's voice echoed through the forest.
