Luke went outside and saw the children waiting for him at the door. Luke looked at the children who were staring at him in amazement, he just ignored it and headed downstairs. Luke felt something pressing on his shoulder and whispered.

"You are getting heavier, it seems like you're eating well while I was unconscious."

• Of course, Spencer said that you'll be sad if I didn't eat my food.

'Of course, I'll be sad. I'm going to work you to the bone tomorrow so you can't lose weight or feel hungry, or else I'll feel guilty.'

Luke nodded while stepping down the stairs. He then saw Spencer sitting on a table downstairs while blowing hot soup.

Spencer noticed me and frowned like he just lost his appetite to eat. Luke then frowned while seeing those actions.

'This bastard, he's that mad? But what can I do? It's not like I asked Selena to turn me into a handsome man.'

Luke just sighed and went towards the counter. He saw a lady in her mid-thirties looking at him like he's a ghost. Luke didn't notice it and just said what he wants.

"Please give me a bowl of soup. Ah, please give these children behind me some too."

The children peeked from behind Luke and looked at the soup that is in a large pot while drooling. Luke just stared at the woman looking at him. He then asked in a confused voice.

"Uh, ma'am? Is something wrong?"

"Uh? Ah! The soup! Yes! I'll get it right away."

Luke thought something was wrong but brushed it off. His ears then twitched when he heard the whispers of the people around him.

"Hey, do you think that the brave miss is still unconscious?"

"I hope she is okay, her companions said that she was the one who planned on saving this village from the beginning."

"Yeah, such a good girl. She even sacrificed herself to get rid of that devil."

"Ugh! The times when we're under that damned spell is sickening!"

"Yeah, it feels like we're just watching a play while seeing our bodies move on their own."

"Ugh, that is hell."

"Thank goodness someone with a good heart freed us."

"What's her name again? Jane? Such a pretty name."

Luke turned around and saw a group of people sitting in the corner chattering while eating. He looked left and right and all he hears are topics about 'Jane and how she saved the village'. Luke held his chest like he's having a heart attack.

'What? Savior of the village who? Jane? Me? What about Spencer and the kids? Why only me? This is terrifying.'

Luke felt like he needs to hurry and buy a house far from people and lock himself in there. He then swore he is not going to do anything more eye-catching. He absolutely can't. He feels like he'll have a seizure with all the praises people exclaimed for him.

He then sighed to call himself down. And looked at the woman in front of him who is holding a tray with five bowls in it. Luke then said something once he saw how many bowls are in there.

"Ah, can you please add one more bowl?"

"Ah, sure."

Luke held the tray and the woman returned to him with another bowl of soup. He then nodded and then went ahead to where Spencer is eating.
