Join the ServerThe bald boss and his staff finally cleaned up the remnants. They returned with a new table, smaller than the previous one, but just enough to seat Eve and the five of them.
As the fragrant, hot skewers continuously reappeared on the table, our Demon Lord’s complexion instantly paled, and her sitting posture became even more rigid.
Suddenly, Eve felt the Demon Lord wasn’t so terrifying after all.
She offered a skewer to the girl.
“Fionn, won’t you try it? The boss’s cooking is quite good, you know.”
Fionn gazed at the skewer before her, feeling it was no longer food, but glittering silver coins!
‘If I take even one bite, won’t that just add to my sins…’
‘Can’t eat, can’t eat!’
“I…”
Fionn intended to refuse, but a certain uncooperative sound beat her to it.
Grrr—
The silver-haired girl quickly clutched her stomach, her face flushed crimson, and smiled apologetically at Eve.
She was smiling, yet she looked utterly wronged.
‘Where did this poor little thing come from!’
“Just eat. It’s no big deal. These skewers will go to waste if left uneaten.”
Eve, with a helpless sigh, gently pushed the skewer directly into Fionn’s hand. Then, with utmost seriousness, she began to coax her.
“Think about it, these are skewers the boss painstakingly grilled. If they go to waste, it’s like several more silver coins being thrown away. Plus, the boss might even feel disheartened about his grilling skills because of it.”
After this torrent of words, Fionn was left completely befuddled by Eve.
It seemed to her that if she didn’t eat the skewer, she would not only bear a greater burden herself, but also add another burden to the boss.
‘Though something feels a little off.’
‘But perhaps it will be fine as long as I eat the skewer?’
Fionn nodded dazedly. “I… I understand! Thank you, Eve!”
‘Thank you, Roly!’
Eve watched her, a warm smile playing on her lips. “…You’re welcome.”
‘It truly felt as if this Demon Lord, even if someone sold her, would probably help them count the money with immense gratitude…’
Unlike Anna, who was simply foolish, Fionn seemed more like an innocent girl, utterly unversed in the ways of the world.
‘A faint sense of guilt suddenly arose within me…’
Watching the silver-haired girl beside her dutifully nibble at the meat on the skewer, her cautious manner was quite endearing.
However, after much struggling, she only managed to get a tiny bit of meat from the edges, mostly making herself messy like a kitten in the process.
‘She’s barely eaten anything at all, has she?’
Eve pondered for a moment. Then, just as she had done before, she used her chopsticks to carefully strip the meat from the skewer, subsequently picking up a piece to offer Fionn.
“Come on, Fionn, open wide, ah—”
Hearing this, Fionn turned her head. Seeing the grilled meat Eve offered, she shyly uttered a “thank you.”
Without any hesitation, she swept aside the silver strands of hair falling by her ear, leaned forward, and opened her cherry lips.
“Ham~”
After taking the grilled meat from Eve’s chopsticks into her mouth, she quickly pulled her head back.
Only a glistening trace remained on the chopsticks.
Chewing the grilled meat, the girl’s eyes lit up. She cradled one of her puffed-out cheeks, her eyes narrowing in blissful contentment. “So delicious…”
‘It seems our Demon Lord has been successfully conquered by grilled meat.’
Eve could now relax, free to continue feeding Fionn grilled meat without concern.
‘Since eating meat herself barely registered, she might as well use it all to feed the adorable Demon Lord.’
‘Mm~ Her smile is so cute, so healing…’

Meanwhile, Kamil finally addressed the blue-haired girl who was completely drunk in Yulim’s arms. “By the way, Yulim, why is Anna so drunk today?”
Yulim stood on her tiptoes. “Kamil, Anna was probably just too happy today… She insisted on having a drinking contest with Luosha… and then she drank too much, which is why she’s like this…”
Kamil heard the reason and was somewhat dumbfounded.
“Ah, that sounds just like Anna.”
Then, with a hint of curiosity, he asked, “But if that’s the case, Luosha must have a strong tolerance for alcohol, right?”
Yulim blinked her innocent eyes upon hearing his question.
“I don’t know, I’ve never seen Luosha drunk before.”
Luosha’s true identity was that of an undead demon. This was something Yulim had deduced earlier.
However, Yulim herself was not an undead, nor had she paid particular attention to information regarding the undead. Thus, she wasn’t sure if Luosha could get drunk like herself.
She could only offer such a vague statement.
Kamil’s eyes, however, lit up, and his gaze towards Luosha became somewhat excited.
The little undead was still cheerfully feeding grilled meat to the beautiful Demon Lord when she suddenly felt a gaze fixated upon her. Puzzled, she turned her head.
She then saw Kamil’s lips curve into a sly grin as he pushed a brimming wine glass towards Eve.
“Luosha, I hear you’ve never been drunk. Are you interested in a challenge from me, the legendary ‘King of Kings, a Thousand Cups Undefeated’?”
‘What’s with this strange, chuunibyo-esque nickname!’
Eve, maintaining a polite smile, waved her hand. “I apologize, Kamil, but would you allow me to decline your challenge? I’ve already had quite enough to drink tonight.”
Having said that, she prepared to resume feeding the Demon Lord.
Kamil paused, dumbfounded. “Eh? How can that be… Then, let me pay for your table! Just come drink with me until we’re drunk, please! Drinking alone is so boring! Yulim, you help me persuade Luosha…”
Yulim, hearing this, revealed a troubled expression.
“Kamil, I think beer is a bad habit… It’s better not to drink so much. After all, Anna, who was just drinking for fun earlier, has completely passed out, leaving a deep impression on Yulim.”
‘Whether Roly or Kamil got drunk next, it would be bad news for her.’
‘This meant they would go from escorting one drunk back to escorting two.’
As they conversed, only Fionn continued to chew her grilled meat, the look of bliss still lingering on her face.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she swallowed the meat in her mouth. For the first time, she proactively reached for a skewer and found a pair of chopsticks.
Then, mimicking Eve’s technique, she carefully stripped the meat from the skewer with the chopsticks, picked up a piece, and offered it to Eve.
“Roly, the grilled meat is delicious, you should eat some too!”
The silver-haired girl’s crimson eyes gleamed, sparkling like brilliant stars. They no longer held the dangerous, chilling aura they had at their first meeting.
Eve looked at the grilled meat on the chopsticks, not refusing the girl’s kind gesture.
“Mm, alright~”
Smiling, she leaned closer. At the same time, she subtly pulled her mask aside, aligning its damaged opening with her mouth to easily receive the grilled meat.
Fionn, mimicking Eve, said to her, “Open wide, ah—”
As the grilled meat entered her mouth, Eve chewed, then nodded. She thanked the girl, who was watching her expectantly, “Mm, it’s very delicious, thank you, Fionn.”
“Hehe~ You’re welcome~”
The Demon Lord squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly again, as if the piece of grilled meat had been eaten by her herself.
