The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"you..."

However, before she could finish speaking, the demon king Ariel excitedly began grilling the meat.

"Oh? Don't you believe I'm the Demon King?"

She still had a nonchalant expression.

"Hehe, if you want, you can try it yourself anytime. I'm always ready to go."

As she spoke, she picked up the roast meat and flipped it a few times over the flames of the grill.

It was as if what was being roasted wasn't wild boar meat, but someone who dared to come before the Demon King...

"If you can let me have some fun, or eat and drink my fill, then I might consider letting you go."

Full and satisfied?

Upon hearing this, Kiana instantly realized...

The woman before me was not as gentle and refined as she appeared; perhaps she really was a demon.

Even if not, he's at least a highly lethal demon officer...

"Ah...I see. So, can she eat it now?"

The vampire looked on with a greedy expression.

"Of course not, I'll just use this to satisfy my cravings when I'm really hungry."

The Demon King handed the roasted meat to the vampire.

The vampire quickly took the roasted meat.

She took a small, cautious bite and was immediately drawn to the aroma of the grilled meat.

As expected of the Demon King's grilled meat, just the aroma alone makes my mouth water.

Her gaze shifted to the other side of the grilled meat.

There were several plates there, filled with rows of thinly sliced ​​beef and vegetables.

The beef had a rich flavor, but no gamey smell, and the vegetables had no unpleasant odor.

Moreover, the beef has a very good texture; it's tender, melts in your mouth, and has no fat.

This is much better than the food the vampires used to eat.

Although it still can't compare to the delicious taste of virgin blood...

"Wow, the Demon King's cooking skills are truly amazing. This roast beef is definitely much better than the roast meat from the vampires' place."

"Hehe, your praise makes me very happy, but..."

The Demon King suddenly stopped speaking. She raised her head and looked Kiana over with a strange gaze.

Kiana was somewhat confused.

What exactly is going on between these two?

They completely disregarded me?

Or rather... in this demon king's eyes, am I nothing more than a caught insect?

"What's wrong? Demon King, I feel like the way you're looking at me..."

"uh-huh."

"I think the way you're looking at me is a bit off."

"Something's not right? What's wrong with it?"

"The way you look at me, it's like you want to eat me," Kiana bluntly pointed out.

"Hehe, that's quite a joke. I wouldn't mind if you wanted it to come true."

The Demon King's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

For a fleeting moment, Kiana felt as if she were being stared at like a piece of meat on a chopping board...

"Why would I have such a strange thought? Sword Saint, aren't you overthinking things?"

"No, no, no... You didn't see wrong, you do have that thought."

"This is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Okay, I'll assume you didn't mean it that way."

Kiana felt a little ashamed after hearing the Demon King's words.

This guy really is... lying without even thinking.

"My Lord Demon King, I think I'll eat the grilled meat first. It looks so tempting... I'm so hungry..."

The vampire next to him seemed to be captivated by the delicious food and immediately started to interrupt.

"Oh, really? I'm a little hungry too. Since we're hungry, let's start eating."

"Ah."

The two sat on opposite sides and started eating.

Kiana found this extremely strange.

He traveled all this way to see the Demon King, only to stand here watching the two of them grill meat?

That's really strange!

"This beef is so delicious..."

The vampire praised the food as he ate it.

Without realizing it...

Kiana turned her gaze to the Demon King.

Her eyes flashed with an unusually complex expression.

"This woman is too strange. If nothing else is wrong, I'd better..."

Having made up her mind, Kiana suddenly stood up, preparing to leave.

"What's wrong? Did I tell you to move? It's my dessert."

Before Kiana could leave, Vampire suddenly called out to her, then took out a napkin to wipe his mouth clean and blocked her way.

"Dessert after dinner? Vampire, aren't you even going to hide your desires?"

Although there was a vague feeling that he was being favored when he arrived, it was only now that Vampire had revealed his true purpose.

Clearly, this vampire could no longer control his blood-drinking urges...

"Hehe, yes." The vampire chuckled, "Only you can arouse my desire."

Don't you feel ashamed to say such a thing?

Kiana asked in a cold voice.

The vampire shrugged, completely unconcerned.

"Shame? I grew up in the vampire world and I don't understand the word shame at all. Besides, I don't think shame is a word."

She stared at Kiana with a beaming smile: "What you humans call humiliation, we vampires don't need."

"you..."

Kiana was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Yes, vampires certainly don't need to be ashamed.

Moreover, in their view, shame is just a very low-level concept.

Just like now.

"I say vampires don't need shame because my upbringing taught me how broad the meaning of shame is; it's not just humans who understand the meaning of shame."

"..."

Kiana fell silent for a moment.

"What's wrong, human swordsman? Was my word not profound enough? No, I think what I just said was quite good."

The vampire tilted its head, pondering, "Could it be that I misunderstood?"

"..."

Kiana was completely speechless.

Although I had heard from Spider-Girl before that this guy had become unusual after being reincarnated as a vampire.

But she never expected it to become so unusual.

These two guys are both incredibly good at talking nonsense...

"I...I'm leaving."

With that, Kiana turned around.

She has to leave this place.

If I keep dawdling like this, I'll just be wasting my time sightseeing, enjoying the flowers and the moon.

What a complete waste of time!

"Hey, hey, hey... don't rush off!"

The vampire's voice rang out again.

Kiana stopped and turned around, looking towards the source of the vampire's voice.

The vampire... suddenly lunged at us?

"If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how powerful I am!"

Kiana paused for a moment when she saw the other person wielding sharp fangs.

Then, make a fist with your right hand and slowly raise it:

"Sorry, even if you made a move, I wouldn't know."
