Bab 427: The Neighbour That was Attracted by the Smell of Cooking

"Anything I can help you with?" Bartoli inquired; meanwhile, she hurriedly greeted him with a wizard's standard bow.

"Oh, hey!" Wizard Alberta replied; his attention was obviously too occupied with the smell, "Hello there! My name is Alberta. If you don't mind me asking, what are you cooking right now?"

Bartoli didn't seem to catch on, "Um… I'm not sure what you mean by that question…"

"Please, can we have a conversation inside?" 

All this time, Wizard Alberta's had his eyes fixed towards the source of the smell. He wasn't even looking at Bartoli when she greeted him. But, when he requested her to invite him in, the expression he had… It was sincere. It was so humble, it felt like it should've not come from an intermediate wizard. 

Bartoli was a little annoyed with this intrusion, though, "Sorry, but I'm just a housekeeper, Without a legitimate reason to let you in, my master will not be pleased."
