Matthew’s Living Room
“Why?” Matthew asked.
Paige crossed her arms.
” Because that girl was very cute. She chatted with me for more than an hour in the kitchen and even asked me what dishes you liked. She promised me that when she came tomorrow, she would bring me the purgatory recipes hidden in her house. As a skeleton who aspires to become a top chef, of course, I couldn’t refuse!”
Matthew was amused.” So that’s why you’re urging me to go to work. Was it Sif’s idea? Also, is this the big thing you mentioned?”
Peggy said matter-of-factly, “Going to work on time is a virtue, Matthew.
“Besides, this concerns my dream and your happiness. Why isn’t it important?
” I want to remind you that Sif is different from other girls. Her mind is much more mature than you think of underage girls. I think she suits you very well.”
Matthew spread his hands and joked, “Unfortunately, her father does not suit me.”
” I thought so too,” Peggy said seriously.” So I gave her a suggestion. I told her to get rid of her father, who likes to follow his daughter when she comes to find you tomorrow!”
Matthew scratched his head.
“So Rheager was following Sif again? Didn’t he have his own work to do?”
” Who knows?” Peggy said.” He’s a pitiful person, but this kind of oppressive protection may not give Sif happiness. He should learn to let her grow up on her own.”
“You look like you have a lot of experience with children,” Matthew teased.
Peggy was stunned for a moment. Her soul fire flickered again, and she didn’t speak for a long time.
“Eh, new memories?” Matthew lowered his voice.
“No,” Peggy shook her head.” But I think I heard this sentence from another person. I don’t know if you’ve had a similar experience. A moment, a sentence, that strong feeling of deja vu, as if you’ve experienced it before…”
Matthew nodded.
The two of them were silent for a while.
“So, are you going back to class or not?” Peggy asked suddenly.
Matthew blinked.” The reason why I was willing to go to class was partly because I lacked money. On the other hand, I hoped to use the school library and the students’ books at home to catch up on knowledge. Now that I don’t need that anymore, I suggest you forget the previous suggestion.” He paused for a moment and thought, “But I really should find myself a legal, stable, and quick job. What do you think about that, Peggy?”
Peggy yawned and looked disinterested. “How would I know? I’m just a muddle-headed skeleton.
“Good night, Matthew.”
..
The next night.
Matthew, who had been busy in the forest for the whole day, returned to his home in town early.
After dinner, he took a shower and waited in the living room with a book.
Although the content of the book wasn’t boring, Matthew was a little distracted.
He was mainly thinking about how to tactfully persuade Sif not to come to him every few days.
He had a good impression of Sif.
Therefore, he did not want to hurt her even more.
7 PM.
It was almost time for Sif’s visit.
A bell rang outside the house.
Matthew put down his book and quickly got up to open the door.
However, what he did not expect was…
It was another woman standing outside the fence.
“Samantha?”
Matthew looked at her in surprise.
” Please forgive me for coming in uninvited, and please don’t blame Ella. I was the one who begged her to tell me your address.”
Samantha looked a little tired.
However, there was a strange look in her eyes.
At this moment, she was wearing a dress that was in line with the trend of human towns, but it did not fit her well.
Her chest swelled and trembled slightly.
Her expression was a little awkward.
“Uh, I’m not used to places where humans gather. Can you let me in?” Samantha asked in a low voice.
“Of course…”
However, before Matthew could open the door to welcome her in.
Not far away, a mournful roar erupted, “No!”
The man roared as he walked closer, “Samantha, what are you doing? Why did you go to this necromancer’s house?”
Matthew silently watched the menacing Eli.
“Look, this…” He looked at Samantha again.
In the next second.
The uneasiness on the female Druid’s face instantly disappeared, replaced by anger and fierceness.
“Eli, I’m warning you! Do Not Follow Me!”
Samantha’s voice was like a beast’s roar, making one’s heart palpitate.
She turned around and stomped towards Eli.
Every step she took.
Her body expanded.
Three steps later.
A beautiful and flawless brown fur draped over her body. She had transformed from a 1.7-meter-tall human woman into a brown bear that was more than three meters tall!
“Please wait a moment, Mr. Matthew.”
Samantha turned around and said in a gentle and apologetic tone.
“You’ve never used that tone with me.” Eli was still angrily accusing her.
The giant bear pounced forward and grabbed Eli’s body. It was as if she was dragging a log as she rushed out of the town!
In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared one after another.
Only a shallow mark was left on the cobblestone floor.
Ten minutes later.
A black shadow appeared at the end of the mark.
It was a leopard.
She lightly jumped in front of Matthew.
“I’m sorry, but Eli won’t bother us anymore.”
