Chapter 301: Noticing Kanor
Soon, Lolth brought Dorothy, who had fallen into a light sleep in her daze, into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Kanor was making fish soup. When she saw her Master Lolth entering the kitchen with the strangely dressed Dorothy, she was initially taken aback, then showed a worried expression.
"Master Lolth… What happened to Sister Dorothy?"
"She’s probably really tired and has a cold," Lolth said casually. "It’s my fault; I gave you both too much to do yesterday."
Hearing Lolth say this, Kanor also showed a rather self-blaming expression.
"When I saw Sister Dorothy this morning, she really did seem unwell and a bit off, but I didn’t pay much attention to it," Kanor said regretfully. "I really made Sister Dorothy work too hard yesterday… It’s my responsibility!"
Kanor looked a bit down, taking the blame for Dorothy’s condition and spoke regretfully.
However, Lolth naturally couldn’t let this sensible student feel so low. She looked at Kanor and said, "You can’t blame yourself; you worked really hard yesterday… It’s all my responsibility as the teacher."
Kanor looked at Lolth, wanting to say something, but Lolth interrupted her.
"Alright, Kanor, it doesn’t matter whose responsibility it is. What matters is what to do… I plan to keep giving her some ‘extraordinary meals’ to help her recover. Can I ask you to take care of Dorothy for a while?" Lolth said, handing Dorothy, who was sleeping peacefully on her back like a little kitten, to Kanor. "Also, she will probably miss the afternoon class."
As Lolth said this, Kanor nodded.
"I understand. Sister Dorothy is not in a condition to attend class… The first lesson won’t be anything too complicated, so I can manage it myself!"
Saying this, Kanor also turned off the fire on the stove, and a silver liquid metal-like substance called "Versatile Kitchenware" flowed out of her body, forming into a huge hand-like sculpture that gently took Dorothy, placing her softly in its very soft palm.
"You can trust me to take care of her, Master!"
As Kanor said this, she walked to the corner of the kitchen with Dorothy.
"Then I’ll leave it to you, Kanor," Lolth nodded. Then, as if remembering something, she added, "Oh… and Kanor, if you ever have a hard time in the future… don’t be like this one and try to be strong by yourself."
As Lolth spoke, Kanor was slightly taken aback but then nodded.
"I will, Master Lolth."
Kanor replied.
Master Lolth added this to herself, and Kanor was quite surprised.
Looking at Dorothy, who lay quietly, her face red and her body hot, wearing a uniform, Kanor softly spoke to herself in a whisper that only she could hear.
"It looks like… Sister Dorothy, what happened to Master Lolth this morning shocked her quite a bit."
"But Master’s change didn’t happen recently… It just happened to coincide with you, Sister Dorothy… how lucky you are."
Kanor realized something that even Lolth herself was not aware of.
Although Lolth is a caring teacher, her lazy nature meant that she never really had the idea of forcing the two girls to do anything and didn’t care for them like a guardian.
However, after going through a series of events, Kanor could feel that Lolth had changed a little.
Even when working for the "Demon Army" before, Master Lolth seemed to not care much.
She acted purely out of interest, with almost no thoughts or burdens about "responsibility" — that was how Master Lolth used to be.
But now, whether it’s about Hillenbrand Town or herself and Sister Dorothy, even about her two older sisters, Tina and Isabella, Master Lolth has become more caring and proactive.
Instead of just acting for her own "ideas," she has gradually started to think about others.
This new Master Lolth cannot be said to be unlikable.
While the old carefree Master Lolth was also very charming… in comparison, Kanor feels that the current Master Lolth is a bit more appealing.
However, there are still other things Kanor has noticed.
Besides Master Lolth’s change, Kanor has also discovered some parts about Sister Dorothy, who is now "asleep," that she had overlooked before.
"I kept my focus on my two older sisters, Tina and Isabella, but I forgot about you, Sister Dorothy, who came later…"
"Sister Dorothy, I never thought you would be a strong rival for the teacher’s wife."
Seeing the happy smile on Dorothy’s face as she sleeps lightly, Kanor pouts.
Ever since her mother mentioned "marrying the teacher" last night, Sister Dorothy has been acting strangely.
It seems that her mother really made her realize something she had never understood before.
This morning, when she asked Kanor to help her order some clothes, she seemed nervous and avoided eye contact.
Even though Kanor is only eight years old, after witnessing Isabella and Tina’s daily lives in the landlady’s strange early education and torture tower, she could understand Dorothy’s odd behavior.
Another person who wants to be the teacher’s wife has appeared.
No, actually, I should have noticed this long ago; from the very first meeting, Master Lolth was like a savior for Sister Dorothy, helping her overcome many pains caused by her "curse."
Although Sister Dorothy never said it, Kanor could guess that Dorothy’s past life was definitely very difficult.
Master Lolth’s care and kindness, after saving her life, also rescued her soul.
After being betrayed, abandoned, and near death, she met Master Lolth…
Since Master Lolth was already very charming, it is not surprising that Sister Dorothy liked her.
It was just that her identity as Sister Dorothy’s "disciple" limited her understanding.
So until her mother now seems likely to have said those words on purpose, even Sister Dorothy herself had not realized this fact!
