Becoming a Witch in Another World
Chapter 12: Dinner
Leaving the guild, I visited the market to buy the groceries I would be processing for dinner later.
My choice stopped at a stall that the buyer had just left, he provided various meats with the best quality.
"Please buy 5kg."
"Well, that's 5 silver coins."
I give the amount of money requested, for good quality meat I am reluctant to bargain, not only meat, I also have to buy some vegetables and other supporting seasonings.
After all, then I went back to the store, although it was called the store this place was used as our home as well, the lower floor was reserved for buying and selling transactions, while the second floor became our resting place.
The bathroom and kitchen are included.
Looks like Miss Heliet is home, I checked her on the second floor and found her asleep in my room.
This guy has no rules, just showing his thighs in front of a young man like me. I pulled out a blanket to cover her entire body.
My teacher looks like a normal adult woman who has a beautiful face and unpredictable personality, usually she will show a smile towards me even so, it felt like there was something she had always hidden from me even sometimes I often found her sleeping face in pain from nightmares, as she now showed.
I stroked her soft black hair before closing the room door. Just as I may have had painful times, I lost both my parents in an accident, my aunt uncle took all my parents' money and dumped me in an orphanage.
There I only lived alone when other children went for adoption, until one day when I was 10 I decided to leave the orphanage. I lived a few months on the streets and was often starved or beaten by thugs.
When I thought I was going to die a girl my age was standing in front of me while brandishing a wooden sword at the thugs, she easily defeated them and then stretched her hand out at me.
"Come with me. You definitely don't have a house."
"Who are you?"
"My name's.."
Many things happened in the past but I chose to forget them and focus on living my life now.
I started putting each ingredient on the table and then processing it one by one, today I decided to make a simple potato soup that is not too long.
"Welcome Aksa, the aroma is very fragrant."
"Wash your face before eating."
"Good, good."
After he did, he sat back in his chair. I began to put the various dishes I had made on the table. I filled a small bowl with rice and poured it with disposable chopsticks.
"In the market there are many sales because of that, I buy a lot of groceries."
"So, everything looks good."
I took the vegetable with my chopsticks and put it in his bowl.
"Eat the vegetables too."
Miss Heliet developed a faint smile towards me.
"What's wrong?"
"If someone asks who I love? I'll say that my student Aksa is the one."
"Don't say anything weird, finish your food fast."
"What do you think of me?"
"I respect you as a teacher and as my older sister."
"That's all, I thought you thought I was a mother and a lover, too."
I just smiled wryly in response.
If my mother already has someone I consider like that, for lovers I better think about it again.
