Hello, Mr Werewolf.

Chapter 10: Visitors

Layla! Layla! Don't go!'

Bonnie shouted worriedly from where she was, but finally made up her mind and rushed out the door to join Layla.

Layla smiled weakly and looked down, 'What's wrong?

Bonnie glared at her angrily, 'I'm worried about your safety if you get into trouble...'

Seeing the troubled look on the young girl's face, Layla stopped teasing her and changed the subject, "How's your revision going? Our teacher said that this exam is going to be quite difficult.

Successfully distracted, Bonnie tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Apart from Elvish and maths, which I'm not quite up to, I'm fine with everything else. I just hope I don't run into that damned herbography again. I'm sure it will be the biggest obstacle preventing me from passing.

Don't worry, Bonnie, I can help you in class tomorrow. I have a lot of experience in this area...'

As the two girls chatted, they gradually left Dudle Town. Leila had already inquired about the general location of their destination, and with Bonnie leading the way, she was not worried about getting lost.

As there were no carriages to Baiyek, they had to walk, which was a test for two young girls of fifteen or sixteen.

As the road became more and more remote, they began to feel the unique atmosphere of the town of Baiyek - silent and eerie...

The two young girls also went from laughing and being happy on the road to being cautious.

Leila was a little relieved at this point and was glad to have Bonnie with her, otherwise she would not have dared to go on alone.

I think we should go back, it's really dangerous here...' Bonnie held Leila's arm tightly, tilting her head and looking around to the west, always feeling that something in the surrounding forest was staring at them.

It's ok Bonnie, we'll be there soon, I can see the town already,' Leila was also a little uneasy, but she spoke in a forced calm voice so that only the two of them could hear.

Behind them, in the shade of the trees, a one-eyed creature stared at them, a little confused.

The owner said there was one, but there are two. Which one is the owner talking about?

Bonnie wasn't the only one who felt they were being watched. Layla felt it too, and the feeling grew stronger the moment they entered the town, coming from all directions to the west.

The two of them looked carefully at the houses in the town. They were all very dilapidated, showing no signs of being inhabited, but the feeling of being watched from the windows of some of the houses was so strong.

Now Leila began to believe Bonnie's words. If something strange and monstrous appeared here, she wouldn't be surprised.

Since they were already here, they might as well take a look at the gentleman's house. He shouldn't lie to me... Leila made up her mind and her steps became a little more determined.

Glenn's house was on the outskirts of town, so they wouldn't have to walk far.

But before Laila and her friend could see Glenn's house, they heard his voice.

A strange humming sound came from ahead, very low but easy to hear in the quiet town.

That sounds like his voice,' Laila said in surprise.

'The gentleman you mentioned who saved your mother?' Bonnie asked.

'Yes,' Layla said, taking her friend's hand and walking faster towards the sound.

...

Glenn's home.

Glenn was starving after returning from the cellar, so he rushed to cook.

He was quite confident in his cooking skills and was even able to prepare a decent meal despite the limited resources. The food was average, but much tastier than what the people at the bottom of the world ate.

As he fiddled with the utensils, he couldn't help humming a little tune and singing a few words from time to time.

The sound came through the window and the old man next door muttered, 'That restless little brat, so annoying!

Then he turned and smiled at the eating puppy, 'Baby, stay away from him in future.

...

Just as all the hot food was on the table and they were about to start eating, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Glenn frowned and came to the door, confused.

He carefully opened the door a c***k and looked out to see Leila and a strange girl standing outside.

When she saw Glenn's face, Leila was overjoyed and curtsied, lifting her skirt. My respects, esteemed sir! I didn't introduce myself formally last time, but my name is Leila and this is Bonnie. We've met before.'

'I didn't think you'd actually come. Please come in. Glenn was a bit surprised too. He had thought that the other party would be afraid to come in and would probably be scared off if he went deeper. He had told the beast to go outside just in case, but he never expected the little girl to be braver than he thought.

Leila, on the other hand, was a little surprised by Glenn's behaviour. It was the first time she had encountered such a carefree attitude.

Excuse me. The two girls walked past Glenn, who took a moment to notice the shy companion following Leila.

She was actually willing to accompany her friend here, so they must have a good relationship... Seeing that everyone had entered the house, he casually closed the door behind him.

The slightly shabby living room had a slight musty smell, but it wasn't overpowering. There was still hot food on the wooden table, and everything was in full view of the girls.

'Sir...'

'Just call me Glenn.

'Mr Glenn, haven't you had your lunch yet? I'm really sorry to interrupt your meal,' Leila apologised to Glenn.

That's all right, I don't mind. But since I caught you red-handed, let's eat together and try my cooking. Glenn waved his hand in an inviting gesture.

From the moment they met, the young girl in front of him had been very polite, as if she was afraid of upsetting Glenn. He was only slightly surprised by this, chalking it up to the normal etiquette of the people here.

Layla didn't say anything when she heard this, but Bonnie's eyes started to sparkle.

She hadn't noticed, but Glenn had.

Hey, get ready to be impressed by my cooking! Feel the power of the food empire! Glenn grinned to himself and straightened his posture slightly.

'That's not allowed, that's rude! We...' Leila refused, but Glenn cut her off.

'No, no, no! Young lady, there is nothing rude about it. If I say it's all right, it's all right. In my hometown, inviting guests to eat is the most basic courtesy. If you don't accept, I'll be very disappointed.

Bonnie, who had just been slightly frustrated by Leila's refusal, was filled with hope upon hearing this.

Of... of course we won't disappoint you, we're willing to eat. Leila's expression was slightly embarrassed and there was a flash of surprise in her eyes.

You see, for ordinary families like hers, it is difficult enough to feed and clothe themselves, and treating guests to a meal is, of course, taboo. At the same time, the guests will be very careful not to eat the host's food.

Leila could not imagine what kind of simple and rich home this gentleman came from before such a custom existed.

But judging by the furnishings of his house, he doesn't seem to be very rich either, and it's even worse than her own. How is it that he's still willing to keep this custom?

He really is a kind gentleman... Leila's admiration for him grew even more.

Glenn sat them down and served them with cutlery. However, the two young girls looked at the cutlery in confusion.

Mr Glenn, may I ask what this is?' Leila asked, carefully holding up two wooden chopsticks.
