Bab 247: Give Me a Chance!

A young man around nineteen or twenty years old with a slight smile on his face stood in front of a pot, stirring a rather humble-looking soup. There were only a few vegetables inside, mostly cabbage and potatoes, no meat or fish.

However, the young man seemed used to cooking with a limited amount of ingredients and knew how to remedy the situation with the right spices causing the flavor to spread far beyond his simple dwelling. 

"It's almost done. Hopefully today she won't be delayed as usual..." the young man muttered with a heavy sigh.

Crackling.

At the same moment, he heard the familiar creak of old floorboards sticking out of the floor, they should have been replaced years ago, but there was no one to do it.

The young man smiled broadly and quickly ran towards the entrance. This moment was the happiest for him, one of the few good things in his life.

But... It wasn't his sister who came to his house today.
