This was not what she expected.

————

No beating, no discrimination, no scolding.

The young witch Ben was ready for everything.

Ushering.

But it is something I never thought about.

"Kesha, we will learn these today," the man said gently. He asked Kesha to sit opposite him and taught her some knowledge and words.

Yes.

The witch is learning.

She didn't understand why she, who was ugly and lowly, would receive the teachings of her master.

But the witch was very obedient.

Even if you don't understand, you should obey Xu Xi's orders obediently.

I learned the most basic Chinese characters, daily life knowledge, and communication methods.

The deformed demon horns on the head, the incomplete scales on the body, and those strange demon characteristics are no longer the source of pain for the girl in this small courtyard.

Just a lot of times.

The painful memories of the past are still clearly engraved on the witch's body.

When she saw Xu Xi raising his hand, she would hide in fear.

Make a miserable humming sound.

He bumped into tables and chairs everywhere, and finally curled up in the corner in a mess, covering his head with his hands.

"No...don't...please, don't..."

The young witch was terrified, afraid that her body would be destroyed once again.

But she waited a long time.

Didn't wait for the pain to come.

Gradually, she tried to open her eyes.

What caught my eye was a face full of apology, worry, guilt, and deep concern and love.

"I'm sorry, Krishna."

“…I’m really sorry.”

[Owner] apologizes to [Item].

In little Kesha's opinion, this is impossible, but the reality before her cannot be faked.

Kesha was in confusion.

When she came to her senses, she was already being led by Xu Xi's hand into the kitchen.

Xu Xi brought the girl an exquisite dessert, saying it was compensation.

Kesha took a bite and it was very sweet.

It was so sweet that the young witch's nose felt sour.

The cold, desolate and cracked heart is slowly filled with warm light.

In the days that followed, Ksha remained mentally prepared, waiting for the treatment a slave deserved and the tasks that the items should perform.

But she still didn't wait.

Under Xu Xi's arrangement, Kesha began to learn magic.

Earth, wind, water and fire become the girl's helpers, making her strong.

Instead of being happy about this, the girl became uneasy: “Teacher, is there anything I can do for you?”

The witch longs to be needed.

Take the initiative to take on yard chores.

Xu Xi agreed with the witch's arrangement.

Learn magic, clean the yard, and take care of Xu Xi.

Kesha's life became revolving around going to and from work.

She didn't feel bored. As long as she could help Xu Xi a little, as long as she could get closer to Xu Xi, the emptiness in her heart would be filled.

Later, Ksa discovered something. When she was training in water magic, whenever she made the slightest mistake, her instructor would gently use wind and fire magic to blow dry her hair.

That's one of the few.

It can be done openly.

Enjoy events where you can get up close and personal with your mentors.

then--

"Bang!", in the center of the courtyard, a huge water ball exploded in the air, and the water flowed down, instantly soaking Kesha's whole body.

"I'm sorry, mentor, I disappoint you..."

"It's okay, Krishna."

Just as the witch expected.

Xu Xi smiled, without blaming or criticizing her. He just stood behind Kesha and used magic to dry the girl's wet hair.

"thank you."

As the witch thanked him, she began to think about when the next water magic would fail.
