Chapter 862: Meeting the Six Kings Executives - Ten Demons Arc ? (1/2)
After our introductions, we sat down at the table Nia-san had prepared for us and chatted over tea. However, having met Gluttony-san and Astaroth-san earlier, I'm already quite full.
The tea that was served was very ordinary…… but the teacakes were anything but that. There were quite a few different kinds, such as marshmallow-like sweets and light snack-like foods…… but for some reason, everything was ”skewered”.
How much does this guy love skewers……
[……Well, I guess this should be tolerable.]
Looking at the skewered teacakes, Pandora-san also had a dumbfounded look on her face, but she didn't pay any attention to Nia-san's antics, as there was nothing gory in it.
I also had no particular problems with it, since it's easier to eat on skewers.
[I really wanted to prepare some more variety to it but……]
[Errr, you really like skewers huh?]
[Yes, skewering may look simple, but it's an advanced art that requires delicate distribution, such as finding the right balance between the front and the back, the left and the right. The angle is also important……]
[Wait, Moloch. The story of yours would definitely take long, so stop right there.]
[……I wanted to let Miyama Kaito-sama know the wonders of skewering is…… What a shame.]
If it's possible, I'd like to remain ignorant of the wonders of skewering for the rest of my life…… Well, since she properly stops when you tell her off, I think she's better than Eden-san.
I think it's wrong to use her as a comparison though……
[S- Speaking of which, I'm sorry if I'm mistaken. Was Moloch-san's species Devil, Daemon, or something like that?]
[You have quite the discerning eye.]
No, rather than discerning eyes…… She looks exactly like a devil……
[I'm the leader of the Daemons, known as the Daemon Lord.]
[Some Humans mistakenly believe that Incubus and Succubus are Daemons, but they are of a different race known as ”Lustful Demons”, and they have their own leader.]
Moloch's words were supplemented by Pandora-san. Indeed, thinking of Incubi and Succubi makes me imagine that they're daemons.
Ahh, come to think of it, Chris-san did mention in a letter that her mother was a succubus.
As I was thinking about that, Pandora-san added more explanations.
[Incidentally, just as I had mentioned earlier, the leader of the Lustful Demons is Lilim, whom I plan to lead Miyama-sama after Moloch.]
[……Pandora-sama. You're going to visit Lilim after this? However, Miyama Kaito-sama is a man, right? Wouldn't it be best if he gets far away from that sleazebag?]
[I thought so too, but Shalltear-sama said that Miyama-sama would be alright.]
[……I see, if that's what Shalltear-sama says.]
Come to think of it, when I was first briefed about the Ten Demons, Pandora-san seemed hesitant to let Lilim-san and I meet.
However, if Lilim-san is a succubus and the leader of Lustful Demons, I guess it makes some sense. I imagine that she would be a user of a charming ability or something like that, but Shiro-san's blessing would definitely protect me from those kinds of status conditions.
