New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 10 Gluttony
"Woi~Excuse me, is Mr. Devil Baby here? The express delivery has been delivered~"

The sound is also light and fluttery.

Lei Ye turned his head away.

At first he didn't see anyone there, but when he lowered his head slightly, he saw a little blue-haired boy who was only half his height standing at the door, tilting his head and looking at him with curiosity.

"Whose child is this?" Lei Ye turned his head and asked Lesda.

As a result, the guy hid aside in fear at some point, with his head hung and trembling, as if he was afraid of something.

Seeing her performance like that, Lei Ye's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously took a step back away from the little blue-haired girl.

Oh no, this is the territory of demons. The so-called high-level demons are old creatures who look young but have actually lived for thousands of years. Who knows if this little blue-haired guy with thin arms and legs will slap himself to death.

However, this seemingly harmless child suddenly showed a happy expression and pointed at the red horn on Lei Ye's head.

"Ah, devil baby."

What the hell, a demon baby? What is this silly-sounding thing?

Lei Ye was really curious and couldn't help but ask.

"What are you talking about, please tell me what the devil baby you are talking about is."

"Devil baby, it's a devil baby~ Master Buyadi said that my new neighbor is a newly born devil baby who is willing to play with me. Galatini is very happy. Oh, yes, this is what Master Buyadi asked me to bring to the devil baby. I didn't peek."

She spoke in a leisurely tone and handed over something.

It was a delicate little black plate. He picked it up and weighed it. It was very heavy. Even heavier was a book that looked quite strange. Besides that, there was also a letter. Lei Ye put the other two things aside and opened the letter.

-

To put it bluntly, I'm going to let you work with me.

You can't refuse. I have made you my dependent. You are now a noble lower-level devil. Don't mind the word "subordinate". In Scorched Earth, lower-level devils are also masters!

Don't think about escaping. There is no way to reverse the transformation. You should know very well that guys with horns cannot survive in the human world, right? You are already mine, and you have no other choice but to trust me.

Hahahahahahahaha, so happy, I'm so happy, I will make you happy too, I definitely will, I have a strong feeling that we will become good friends.

You are now in your castle, and the 50-kilometer radius nearby is your territory. In addition, I have arranged for you to have more than a dozen succubus maids to serve your daily life. If you want to go somewhere else, the black sign gives you authority second only to the seven deadly sins, and you can travel freely in the scorched earth. These are my gifts to you, I hope you like them.

Other.

The person in front of you now is Galatini, Gluttony, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and your future neighbor. She is my most harmless subordinate. I have some things to deal with here, so you can ask her if you have any questions.

Other.

The people she brings can be your first job after becoming a devil, make good use of your contract.

Other.

Putting aside your inner belonging, you have now definitely become a member of my, the Demon King Bu Yadi (crossed out) Bu Yadi's people, but I have no intention of imprisoning you in the scorched earth. Rather, the first task I assign to you is to have you return to Hillius.

Go back to Hillius, find a man named Kun-Lai, and punch him hard.

If you are ready, just let Gratini take you to find Grati. Remember to bring enough money.

The Demon King - Buyadi
-

Spicy balls.

Now there was no need to ask questions, as Bu Yadi had answered most of her doubts in a letter.

In fact, there are still some things I don’t understand, such as what exactly is the magic that can reverse time, and why I still retain my memories before the reversal. But these are not things that can be discussed with Buyadi, I have to find the answers myself.

"Hey hey hey"

Someone let out an embarrassed, ingratiating laugh.

When he lowered his head, he saw Galatini stretching out her arms towards him, as if asking for a hug.

"What are you doing?" Lei Ye took a half step back in horror.

Judging from the appearance, it is hard to imagine that this little thing could be one of the seven deadly sins. Thinking of the rumors about Gluttony and eating children, Lei Ye was secretly shocked. It turned out that you cannot judge a high-level demon by his appearance.

Having said that, Lei Ye did not see the horns, the symbol of the demon clan, on her little head with flowing aqua blue hair. The horns are the symbol of the demon clan's strength. What's going on with this guy without horns?

What followed was a rather long speech, but as the smiling Gratini spoke it in her leisurely, floating voice, it seemed a bit lengthy.

"Well, Master Buyadi told me that if I build a good relationship with the devil baby, I can eat very delicious food. So, as a reward for my hard work in delivering the food, can you give me a little bit of that delicious food?"

So that’s why, it’s for delicious food.

After hearing her explanation, Lei Ye suddenly felt relieved. After thinking about it, he realized that since it was the so-called "binge eating", it was normal to be greedy.

The storage bag was next to the dressing table. Lei Ye picked it up and flipped through it.

The things inside were still there, the ten big gold coins saved over the years, various ingredients collected along the way, strange condiments, and the bottle of soy sauce that was very important to Lei Ye. After checking, Lei Ye couldn't help but smile. Only with this storage bag could Lei Ye be considered a complete chef.

Right now, whether from the perspective of avoiding angering the other party or building a closer relationship, we should agree to her small request.

Considering that this is the first time for the other party to eat something that you made, and that you may need to use food to tempt the other party in the future, it may not be appropriate to serve too high-end food here, so as not to raise the other party's threshold for the concept of "delicious".

So Lei Ye directly took out his classic fried rice.

[Classic Fried Rice]: Fried rice cooked with common seasonings. After consumption, all attributes are increased by 5% and last for five hours.

Because the storage bag has the property of freezing time, the food put into it will be permanently frozen in the state when it was stored, so this fried rice may have been made a year ago, but it is still steaming hot when it is taken out.

Lei Ye's storage bag contains some prepared food, which he uses to deal with situations where he suddenly has to invite people to dinner.

Pre-prepared dishes smectite.

Looking around, the only place to dine in this exquisite room was the tea table by the window, so Lei Ye invited the other party to sit in front of the tea table and took out a box of fried rice that had been made who knows how long ago from the storage bag.

The box lunch is a big sin. It should be okay.
This doubt just arose in Lei Ye's mind, but it disappeared when he saw the expression on Galatini's face the moment he opened the lid.

"Woi—! What a great scent!"

It was not a look of joy, but a slightly frightened expression. Galatini's small body trembled slightly, and she pointed at the open lunch box and looked at Lei Ye.

"Really, Mr. Devil Baby, can I really eat this?"

It’s just an egg fried rice. How bad was this child’s food before?

By the way, I did hear Bu Yadi say that the Demon Tribe is a complete food desert. In this case, my cooking skills might come in handy here.

Just try it first.

"My name is Lei Ye, not some devil baby. If you call me by my name nicely, I'll treat you to a meal. How about that?"

"Huh? But, a devil baby sounds cute."

"Call me Lei Ye."

"Glatini, I still like the name of Devil Baby, but because I really want to eat this delicious smelling thing, I only reluctantly agree to change the name now, Mr. Tears?"

This slightly grumpy child was unwilling to call Lei Ye's name properly.

But it was better to forget it. The other party was one of the most serious criminals. Lei Ye was already very happy to be able to have effective negotiations like this. If he was too tough and made the other party angry, it would be counterproductive.

As agreed, Lei Ye took out chopsticks and a spoon and handed them to the other party.

"Yeah, it's Galatini's turn. Let's eat. Thank you very much." She slowly came to the side, climbed onto the seat lightly, took the cutlery, and assumed a well-behaved posture to eat.

After hearing this, Lei Ye realized that the "Gelatinni" that she kept saying should be her own name.

Is Gratini gluttony?
It’s just that the four-character name is a bit long to pronounce. If we can establish a good relationship with her in the future, I’d just call her Lani. They both have blue hair anyway.

"Ok!"

Suddenly, Galatini's body trembled and she let out a short scream.

The pair of short legs suddenly straightened out.

Lei Ye glanced at the rice spoon in her hand, knowing that her taste buds were being impacted at the moment, so he waited silently.

Her pupils were out of focus, as if her soul was wandering in the sky, or as if the heroine in the book who had been played with had fallen into a trance.

After a while, sounds like "ah" and "uh" slowly came out of his mouth.

After finally recovering, she immediately turned her head to look at Lei Ye with an expression of great respect.

"Glatini has decided to have a good relationship with the devil baby."

"I told you not to call me devil baby." Lei Ye waved his hand helplessly, motioning her to continue eating.

Taking advantage of this time, he sat on the edge of the bed and checked the two things he had just acquired.

First of all, there is the small black sign. The workmanship is very exquisite and the material seems to be high-end, but other than that there seems to be nothing special. Maybe as Buyadi said, it is just a pass.

Speaking of which, Lei Ye was really attracted by Buyadi. It had a super big house, a big-breasted succubus maid who was easier to bully than he imagined, and a neighbor who was a little loli who was easy to deal with and would be tempted by a box lunch. There was absolutely nothing to complain about this place.

But no matter what, he still had to go home first. Going back four days, he did have time to go back and give that Kun-Lai a punch.

The teleportation stone was destroyed. It would take at least a month to return to Hillius by dragon car, which is too late. So I can only borrow this black sign to find that Grady.

Wait until the child finishes his meal and then ask him.

He put the black card aside, picked up the heavy book and flipped through it.

The book is heavy but empty. There is nothing inside, just blankness.

Closing it, Lei Ye was facing the beautiful but strange pattern on the cover.

The hollow pattern was a golden skull bound by chains, with pain on its fleshless face. After taking a look at it, Lei Ye felt that this thing became more and more weird, giving him the illusion that it was a living thing.

The Book of Contract, that’s what Buyadi called it, probably because of her new identity – the devil.

But how to use it?

While Lei Ye was finishing what he was doing, Galatini had been eating the box of egg fried rice. She ate very quickly at first, but after finishing half of it in one go, she seemed to realize something and slowed down. Her expression while chewing became more and more serious, and in the end, she even had a solemn feeling like a pilgrim.

In the end, she held the small box of rice, scraped out all the rice grains inside with a spoon, and put them into her mouth one by one.

"what"

She let out a long sigh.

Then he thought about something and looked at Lei Ye.

"Excuse me, Mr. Devil Bao. Lei Ye, what is this delicious food? I have eaten all kinds of things, but I have never tasted such delicious food. So when I think of what Master Buyadi said that Mr. Lei Ye might just be a guest of Jiaotu, I can't help but feel sad again. Please, Mr. Lei Ye, I really want to be able to eat such delicious food again."

She said this very slowly and lightly, but her fists were clenched in front of her chest and her expression was very serious.

"It's egg fried rice. If you want to eat it again, just..."

Lei Ye said casually, then paused.

If it was a neighbor's child who said such words to him, Lei Ye would simply tell her that she was welcome to come to his house for a meal at any time. In fact, looking at Galatini's innocent face, Lei Ye almost said so, but he soon thought of where this place was. This was the territory of the demons, and the child in front of him who was so greedy for his food might be a monster who could destroy a city at will.

We need to confirm how dangerous this guy is first.

"Just tell me about your inherent skills first." Lei Ye slowed down his speech involuntarily.

When I was still in the brave team, I always heard the team members repeatedly emphasize the horror of the Seven Deadly Sins, but there was no information about the Seven Deadly Sins. With my current identity, I might be able to find out their skills.

Thinking about Buyadi's reaction to the identification mirror, Lei Ye guessed that the inherent skills were not a secret that the high-level demons could easily tell others. So when he looked at Galatini who was looking up at him with clear and respectful eyes, he inexplicably felt guilty for deceiving a child.

But Galatini said it straightforwardly.

"Glatini's unique skill is a magic that can transform food into magic power!"

The other party's too straightforward answer made Lei Ye stunned and fell silent.

After a moment, he continued to ask.

"anything else?"

"Glatini can't fight, so even if she has magic power, it's useless. But, Galatini's magic power can be transferred to other people. So when you need my help occasionally, take me out. As long as you give me a lot of food, I can guarantee that everyone's magic power will never run out!" She laughed proudly.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder the demons are very reluctant to talk about their inherent skills. If the hero a few days ago knew about Galatini's inherent skills, he would definitely find a way to kill the child first before the final battle.

She also said something about not being able to fight or something, but when you ask this kid, is she really answering?

A bowl of egg fried rice revealed all his secrets. The trust of the demons is really cheap.

Somehow, Lei Ye thought of the main line in his notebook.

It was not filled in later, but was the main line written at the beginning.

'save the world' (crossed out)

At that time, he probably really thought that he had traveled through time to do such a big thing. Although he soon realized that he was a supporting role who could not accomplish such a big thing, he still had the courage to do it.

So there is another line below as a replacement, with the words "Use your abilities to feed the hungry" crossed out.

Therefore, if the brave man and his party approached him directly and invited him to become a member of the team and set foot on the scorched earth, he would probably agree.

So. Why put that damn 'friendship contract' around his neck?

Looking at Gratini who was still racking her brains on how to continue introducing her inherent skills, Lei Ye sighed and reached out to touch her little head.

"Alright, that's enough, baby. No need to say more. Here you go. This is a reward."

"What is a charging baby? Ah! This looks so beautiful! Is it for me? I'm so happy. Thank you, Mr. Rayno."

What Lei Ye handed over was a piece of cute chocolate cake.

As a time traveler from the Northeast, Lei Ye is essentially good at cooking dishes that are heavy in oil and meat, and is a chef that is more suitable for miners. He learned to make small cakes like this just to make Luoya happy, and he didn't expect it to come in handy here.

Looking at Galatini's happy and somewhat touched expression, Lei Ye felt that his efforts were not in vain.

Okay, what’s the big crime? He’s clearly just a greedy little brat.

Take a look at your big house.

By the way, isn't this scorched earth hotter and stickier than other places?

Lei Ye turned his head to glance at Lestar, who was hiding in the corner, at a loss and sweating profusely, and waved his hand.

"Please turn on the air conditioner first."
