Chương 32: The witch and the poisonous apple
Roze washes the dishes as soon as they finish the Tarte Tatin.
It's because she's confident that once Harij goes home, she'll lose all the motivation to do so.
Although it takes time and effort, Roze forces her hand to move. It's probably something that requires the least effort in life after all.
Besides, since Harij comes so often, she doesn't dare serve him with the same utensils—much less unwashed ones.
As of present, in anticipation to Harij and his food, Roze has prepared arrays of dishes and utensils—which come in varying sizes and shapes.
…the hanging shelf above the sink should still contain grandmother's utensils.
She tries to reach the shelf, but is unable to do so.
Instead, her brand new viridian robe gets splashed with water.
Once she wore it, she realized it's just a cloth. She proceeded to also wear it during potion-making and field work. There was no hesitation left in her.
After a few days, her robe becomes filthy.
Even after tip-toeing, Roze still finds the shelf impossible to reach.
When she's about to find a crate to stand on, a voice is heard from behind her—
"I can help. What is it that you're looking for?"
"Oh, Mr. Customer, don't worry. Please sit down."
Independent Roze is not used to other's help.
If her crush is being nice to her, surely, she'll misunderstand it as something else—she doesn't want to get deluded.
"Which is it? Just tell me."
However, her crush is also a noble. From Roze's previous experience as a witch, things will be over quickly if she just follows through with Harij's intention.
"…Could you open the door on the left?"
Roze finds it difficult from the get go. The shelf is cramped with stuff, thus, uneasy to open.
"Stay back. The moment I open it, something might fall and you might get hurt."
"No, no, no, no, such a risk, I can't possibly ask Mr. Customer to—"
"You're that worried about me getting hurt?"
Harij looks down at her, amazed.
Well, isn't that the proper reaction towards the idea of someone's getting hurt?
…Moreover, Harij's face is the true definition of beauty. If his face gets injured later—even if it's a slight bruise—Roze might apply every medicine available in her house on him—or just plain demolish the house.
