”Please enjoy on Lord”
”Even if you say it like that, it won't work I'm herbivorous”
In an extensive stalactite cavern deep in the ht The flairl who looked to be around 10 years of age, she was clothed in a thin silk garment
”You do not find ?”
”It's not a ood with h”
”Although I a very soft Please savour me once”
”No, no, no Aren't you weird? If I'll eat you, naturally you'll die”
”I have resolved myself from the start”
”Okay… Why do you've such a resolve? I don't think there's any benefit in getting eaten by me”
The kneeling maiden raised her head
”I beg you; do not speak such words, Evil Dragon Lord If a being of such greatness as you would greedily devoure ofthe Devil King You are reigning now as an executive of the Devil King's army, but you carry the reputation that your true power surpasses even hi th for humanity”
”What? I've beco's army?”
Even though I've only been eating plants for around 5000 years?
Well, I knowanimals or humans I clearly cause their trepidation, but it doesn'tpower If I had to say, I've a ti distance fro, only th of the opponent reat
”Please, lend us your strength Whatever happens to this body of rets”
”Well, I understand your feelings But I'on, I'evity, you know? I've heard little, but the Devil King's ar the, so don't treat yourself so poorly and go home Your parents must be worried
”Because I do not have a single relative, there is no one to grieve e, I know very well the future of a sacrifice that deserted her duty At any rate, there is only death waiting for on Lord's nourishment”
”I've been telling you I don't eat meat, besides I'iven me a pot of sweet sap”
”I understand I will return after s my body with sap”
”There's really no need to s ”
While stirring greatly inside the cave, I stretched my neck and piled up the bamboo sprouts before the maiden
”Look This isyou”
”So you are saying you will not eat this body of mine?”
”Yeah, that's what I' like that, I don'tor-”
”In that case, instead of ht?”
”Your train of thought is pretty ine how the soul could be eaten”
At this point, I steadily watched the face of theilluminated by the torch Probably because she's used as a sacrifice, from her cleansed white skin wafts a faint scent of incense However,no relatives, her eyes are filled with vacant darkness
I can see how strength is useless; since her presence is eht attainments I think it's such a waste Surely if she wasn't , she could have become a sorceress That said, ic power yet
While I was looking, the er decorated with jewels, but I didn't sense any hostility While I was relieved, thinking it lookedof soer at her throat
”I will now sever my life and offer you my soul Please wait for a short while”
”Wait! Wait a minute You really don't have to do this”
”However, if I do not sever my life, I cannot offer you my soul”
”I've said itYou'll just trouble me with the disposal of your corpse”
”Do not worry If it is like that, I will dig a pit and die inside”
”How's it possible for you to progress the conversation solely on the pre? It's the first ti life”
”It is because I have to carry my duty as a sacrifice, by all ers I have to be eaten”
A great one came, I'm amazed Naturally, I've no intention to eat her Even so, if she kills herself here, it'll leave a bad aftertaste After thinking it through, I said
”Aah okay, I understand I just ate it When one becoon likeI just ate a little of your soul and I'uys, so be at ease and quickly go back”
”Really? You have eaten it?”
”Yes You don't have to worry I only ate about two days of your lifespan Your soul was extreh”
”You ate it… That on Lord's household, right?”
”Huh?”
I tilted ical structure of her thoughts
”Y-yes, you can say it like that In any case, let's send you back to the village Youbarefoot, so you can ride on my back”
”How could I? To cause such trouble for the Evil Dragon Lord… Ah, I see Since I have beco on Lord's possession, there is no need for concern, right?”
”That's it, you understand it well”
While laying down my body on the floor so she could clihtly onseiza-style
”Well then, let us depart Evil Dragon Lord”
”Where was the village again? Guide me appropriately”
I left the cavern along with the thudding sounds of my feet, and went down the, there were also so their prey
Even though I won't eat it…
I think ht sound like earth tree entrance, I witnessed a large , like a reception Well, rather than reception, in reality it's probably on At least that's how they call me
I can see they're secretly holding bows and arrows If all of them shot at once, I probably wouldn't die, but I would receive a serious injury It's bad to reveal frightened behaviour, so I purposely arrived at the entrance arrogantly and bri with an aura of confidence
”Are you the ones who've delivered this sacrifice?”
An old e chief bowed his head reverently
”T-That is so Evil Dragon Lord, since you have not yet enjoyed your ? If that is the case, ill immediately prepare a different sacrifice…”
”No need I've already eaten her soul It was thein the world Since I want to enjoy the lingering aftertaste, be aware that ar tastes anymore”
”I-I have understood clearly In that case, will you lend us your assistance in subjugating the Devil King, is that what-”
My expression strained I'm covered in scales, therefore humans can't notice, but I was quite nervous
”W-well, let's think about this matter step by step, but at the very least I can pro you harm”
If I'd unskillfully suggested about bringing theers noisily exchanged glances for a while, but when they understood that at the very least the sacrifice brought some results, as if they were connected, the expressions of relief spread out
At thatand hit me in the temple with a thue of tears, but if I showed a weak spot here I'd noticeably beco-shot and faced a direction the stone came from
”You monster, how could you've eaten Rēko! Eat this!”
There was a figure of a young lad, holding a wooden stick like a sword charging at olden hair He had to be froe
But et hit with that stick I'll undoubtedly flinch When that happens, I'll quickly be full of holes, just like a swiss cheese
However, before I could make my escape, adults one after another leapt upon the lad and pushed hiround
”I-I aon Lord! We will behead this impudent brat at once, so…”
”It's fine, really You can stop brandishi+ng your hatchet over his head like that I' hit by such a small pebble felt like a soft breeze of wind”
Actually it hurt quite a lot though
”Incidentally young lad, is Rēko the name of this sacrifice?
When I inquired, the lad answered while being pushed down
”Yes! You bastard, I'll never forgive you! You ate her soul and made her into an empty shell, didn't you?!”
