"Since I Became a Werewolf"

Chapter 10: Visitor

"Lela! Lela! Don't go!"

Bonnie shouted anxiously on the spot, but in the end, she made up her mind and rushed out the door to stand beside Lela.

Lela smiled lightly and looked down, "What's the matter?"

Bonnie glared at her indignantly, "I'm worried about your safety. If you encounter danger..."

Seeing the young girl's conflicted expression, Lela stopped teasing her and changed the subject, "How's your review going? Our teacher said this exam will be quite difficult."

Bonnie was successfully distracted and thought for a moment, "Except for Elvish and math, which I still haven't quite mastered, I'm doing okay in the rest. I just hope I don't run into that damned herbal text analysis again; I'm sure that will be the biggest obstacle to my passing."

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

As they chatted, they gradually left the town of DuDe. Lela had already inquired about the general location of their destination, and with Bonnie leading the way, they weren't worried about getting lost.

Since there was no carriage to Baiyeke, they had to walk, which was a test for two young girls around fifteen or sixteen years old.

As the road gradually became more remote, the two girls also felt the unique atmosphere of the town of Baiyeke—quiet, eerie...

The two girls also changed from laughing and talking on the road to being cautious.

At this moment, Lela was somewhat relieved that Bonnie was accompanying her; otherwise, she didn't know if she would dare to go on by herself.

"I think we should go back. It's really dangerous here..." Bonnie clung tightly to Lela's arm, shrinking her head and looking around. She always felt that something in the surrounding woods was staring at them.

"It's okay, Bonnie, we're almost there. I can already see the town," Lela reassured her, though she too was a bit uneasy, but she tried to sound calm, her voice low so that only the two of them could hear.

Behind them, among the layers of tree shadows, a single eye was closely watching the two, with a hint of confusion in its gaze.

The master said one, but there are two now. Which one is the person the master mentioned?

It wasn't just Bonnie who felt watched; Lela did too, and the feeling intensified as they entered the town, coming from all directions.

Now Lela somewhat believed Bonnie's words; if some strange monster jumped out here, she wouldn't be surprised at all.

Since they had come, they might as well go to that gentleman's house and see. He shouldn't have lied to me... Lela made up her mind, and her steps became a bit more resolute.

Glen's house was on the outskirts of the town, so the two didn't have to walk for long.

However, before Lela and the other saw Glen's house, they first heard his voice.

A strange humming came from the front, although the sound was very small, it was easy to hear in the quiet town.

"This seems to be his voice," Lela said in surprise.

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

"Yes," Lela took her friend's hand and quickened her pace, walking towards the direction of the sound.

...

At Glen's house.

Having just returned from the basement, Glen was starving and quickly started cooking.

He was quite confident in his cooking skills, even with limited conditions, he could make a few decent dishes, the taste was average, but it was much more delicious than what the lower class people in this world ate.

Playing with the kitchen utensils, he unconsciously hummed a tune, occasionally singing a few words.

The sound spread out of the window, and the old man next door muttered quietly after hearing it: "This restless little guy, so annoying!"

Then he turned to the puppy eating with a smile, "Baby, stay away from that guy in the future."

...

Just as he had served all the hot dishes on the table and was about to start eating, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Glen frowned and went to the door with curiosity.

He opened the door a c***k and looked outside, seeing Lela and a strange girl standing outside.

When he saw Glen's face, Lela was immediately overjoyed and greeted with a curtsy, "Respected sir! Greetings to you, I didn't formally introduce myself last time, my name is Lela, and this is Bonnie, we've met before."

"I didn't expect you to really come in, please come in," Glen was also a bit surprised, he thought the other party wouldn't dare to come in, and he estimated that they would be scared back a bit further, and he let the beast go outside just in case, but he didn't expect the young girl to be braver than he imagined.

Lela was a bit surprised by Glen's casual behavior, which she had never encountered before.

"Excuse us for the intrusion," the two girls passed by Glen, and during this time, Glen paid more attention to the timid companion following Lela.

Willing to accompany a friend here, it seems they have a very good relationship... Seeing that everyone had entered the house, he gently closed the door.

The slightly dilapidated living room had a bit of a musty smell but it was not strong, and there was hot food on the wooden table that was still steaming, all of which was taken in by the two girls.

"Sir..."

"Call me Glen is fine."

"Mr. Glen hasn't had lunch yet? I'm really sorry for disturbing your meal," Lela expressed a bit of apology to Glen.

"It's okay, I don't mind it, but since you've caught up, why don't you have some too and taste my cooking," Glen waved his hand and made an inviting gesture.

From the moment they met, the young girl in front of him had been very polite, seemingly afraid of upsetting Glen, and he was just a bit surprised, attributing it to the normal etiquette of the people here.

Hearing this, before Lela could say anything, Bonnie's eyes lit up with stars.

She didn't notice, but Glen noticed it keenly.

Hey, prepare to be conquered by my cooking skills! Feel the might of the foodie empire! Glen was a little proud in his heart, and his back straightened slightly.

"But how can we, it's too impolite! We..." Lela refused repeatedly, but was interrupted by Glen.

"No, no, no! Young lady, it's not impolite at all, I said it's okay, and it is. In my hometown, inviting guests to eat is the most basic courtesy. If you don't accept, I will be very disappointed."

Bonnie, who had just been a bit depressed because of Lela's refusal, was rekindled with hope after hearing this.

"Of... Of course, we won't disappoint you, we are willing to eat," Lela looked a bit embarrassed, and a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes.

You must know, for ordinary families like them, ensuring their own food and clothing is not easy, and inviting guests to eat is naturally a taboo, and guests will also be conscious and not consume the host's food.

Lela couldn't imagine how simple and rich the customs of this gentleman's hometown would be.

But looking at the furnishings in his house, he didn't seem very rich at all, even worse than her own, and yet he was still willing to adhere to this custom?

He really is a kind gentleman... Respect in Lela's eyes increased a bit more.

Glen arranged seats and cutlery for the two, but facing the cutlery given by Glen, the two girls were at a loss.

"Mr. Glen, what is this..." Lela picked up two wooden chopsticks and asked cautiously.
