The Witch, Who Once Was Called A Saint

Lesson Two Warm Rice and Visitors (2)

A young man named Ios is quite a stranger.

I had felt that thin since the day after I helped, but now I don't know "why I didn't notice it, not thin" anymore, Astreia thought.

Aeos, who will already be visiting for the fourth time, is probably coming every holiday, says Astreia.

Astraia who has forgotten what the interval between dates is at last, but still the visits of Ios would be too frequent.

"... you, don't you have friends?

"Why?"

"'Cause if I were you, would I come all the way to this place for the holidays?

Astreia made this a place to live because people didn't come.

But though Ios tilted his neck slightly to Astraia's words, he laughed immediately.

"It's rich in nature, it's a good place."

……

Do you really not have any friends? Or was it just flushed as usual?

(Yahaha, a really weird person)

Even if you don't have a friend in the first place, if you're on holiday, you'll have other things to clean up, I can't believe you got here... nothing but freaks.

Ios, who today brought a soup of boiled sushi meat by the way, was sipping the soup in a cylinder, just like Astreia. On the side is bread and butter for two, then jam. Since the last time I came, Ios had started bringing his share as well.

First, second, and third time, Astreia keeps telling Ios to go home immediately after meals. I've never had a conversational conversation. Why do you come to yourself so often, yet without love? A shudder comes before a doubt.

And how come every time I take the soup in my hand? That's the biggest problem in the first place.

(But really, this smell, it looks delicious......!

Regrettably, I don't feel I can beat this smell. Ios who bring a different flavor soup every time is also bad. Every time I eat more than once, I feel my sense of smell is also increasing sharpness.

It's flowing in an unnecessarily bad direction... yes, I don't even think about it in a corner of my head.

But that's how the soup was emptied while I was thinking about it.

Astraia waited for Ios to finish his meal as he stuffed the cheese in the bread. But I feel like I had just a little less today. Yes. When Astraia thought only a little, Ios accidentally laughed.

"Not enough?

"Beh, nothing..."

"I brought it to you like it wasn't enough"

It was probably the first time in four hundred years that Astraia wanted to hit people.

You're not just a freak, you're a freak with a bad personality! When he did, Ios laughed and removed a slightly larger can from his bag.

"... what is this"

"It's a simple fire. So, this is the frying pan. So, warm this up, butter it up a bit and crack the eggs. Oh, shall I lightly cook the ham too before I add the eggs"

While explaining the apparatus, Ios proceeded with stirring and preparation.

Where the frying pan has melted the butter, lightly fry the ham first. Then he dropped the eggs as they were, cooked them just a little, then added water. Cover so you don't let the rising water vapor escape, then wait. After a while I opened the lid and the eggs were cooked beautifully.

"My personal preferences are half ripe... will you like them too?

……

Smells good.

Astraia, who thought so, was put on a corner-shaped bread and received it unconsciously.

And I bumped into it without hesitation.

"The only way to bring it here is to keep it as hot as soup. I said I'd make it here, but your house doesn't have cooking facilities."

……

It goes without saying that there was no idea of creating cooking equipment in the first place.

Completely one-room homes are visible to struggle for ordinary humans to live in, no matter what you think. Because it's more of a cabin than a house.

(You're a witch, so you think you can handle it...)

Ios doesn't ask much about Astraia. If I were to ask, would I eat or not, that's about it. I don't particularly ask why you live in the woods or what kind of life you live.

(... they won't ask me, so maybe I can't really push them back)

If asked, I don't think Astreia will ever let Ios stay, no matter how fascinating the dish is in front of him.

(That's why I also have trouble being able to come many times)

It's just that one day he won't have to come tired of it either.

When I think about it, I wonder if I can let it go now, and I'm leaning a little bit.

Besides, if he "just came to the fort", then he could be transferred. That would definitely eliminate coming too. If they don't ask me anything, maybe I don't have to force them back. Nothing, Astreia was hazy, thinking that Ios was not a bad person either, he was just a freak... etc.

What are they about to flush? She went out of her way to live here until she left people, but she said she was flushed with several meals.

"Was that delicious?

"Yeah, yeah."

Astreia noticed that she had already eaten up the eggs when she realized, in the inquiry of Ios. But I couldn't really taste it because of my thoughts.

"If you come and see me at the fort, you can do what you've been able to do?

"... Fine!

Astreia shouted strongly at the words she was called when she thought it was just a little unfortunate.

I can't believe I'm stuck in a meal.

"Go home as soon as the frying pan cools!

"Well, let's eat dessert too before we wake up"

I regretted Ios laughing funny, so I ate both desserts that had two. What made me laugh extra, needless to say.
