"Hmm... This apple pie tastes good. How do you say that word? 'Sweet and delicious'? The dense frosting penetrates into every corner of the pie. This taste is really unforgettable..."
Somehow, whenever this "Lord of the Living Corpses" appears, the entire scene is immediately dominated by him. This is true regardless of the initial negotiation or subsequent cooperation.
Even tonight's dinner invitation, which was actually nothing special, seemed to have unknowingly turned into a food appreciation party with him as the main focus!
"...and this pudding, it's sweet, smooth and tender, melts in your mouth, it's addictive."
The dark and tall figure of the "Lord of the Living Corpses" is much larger than the average person even when he is sitting down. However, at this moment, he was holding a silver spoon that was much smaller than his palm, very gently and carefully scooping up the pudding and sending it to the hideous mouth. This scene was full of a sense of disobedience. .
To be honest, compared to the weird feeling of difference between the tender pudding trembling on the tip of the spoon and being sent into the abyss, perhaps it would be more acceptable to replace it with a beating heart dripping with blood. .
"Hohenheim?"
Safina stared at the other person for a while, and couldn't help but turn her head to look in Sarah's direction, only to see that the other person just shook her head without any trace.
"Huh?" Sarah picked up a wooden spoon and filled a small bowl of raspberries, and put it in front of Safina, "You can mix it with some hot cheese, it tastes good... By the way, get me some black pepper, bottle Over there, I’m going to sprinkle some on the fried chicken drumsticks.”
"oh."
Safina took the small bowl and handed over the small bottle of black pepper without saying anything else. She knew that Sarah was telling her to calm down and continue to see the situation.
However... what should I say
Since the arrival of the "Lord of the Living Corpses", the dinner that was supposed to be gradually becoming harmonious has suddenly been filled with an inexplicable feeling of sluggishness - the three living corpses naturally became restrained in an instant in the presence of their master. The human wizards, led by Hermione, were also in a state of confusion.
Probably only the instigator himself, eating this and tasting that, made this one-man show-like "food appreciation" inexplicably lively.
In this regard, Safina, who had been suspicious because of the recent discoveries, was of course a little unable to hold back—she was not as calm as Sarah!
Fortunately, even if her heart was about to turn into chaos, she couldn't do anything and could only endure it for now. Perhaps because of this, Sarah was not worried that she would suddenly break out and cause trouble.
Compared to Safina, Sarah was more worried about Hermione.
"Is it really so delicious? That apple pie was actually made by me. I was worried that it might have failed... Now a lot of supplies need to be transported from outside. I don't know where Bill got these apples from. How sweet…”
After this period of contact, both Sarah and Safina, as well as Hermione and others, have almost determined that the other party is Maka. This is not only the result of inference through various clues and traces, but to a certain extent, it also includes an intuitive recognition of acquaintances.
Therefore, you can actually hear it from Hermione's words. Although the invisible barrier has not been broken on the surface, she has subconsciously treated the other party as Maka.
Well, maybe we shouldn't use the word "estrangement", because it is more like a barrier built by "tacit understanding"... At least that's what Hermione thinks in her heart.
Unlike Safina and Sarah, Hermione has never doubted Maka, and believes that everything Maka does should have a deep meaning.
Although to this day, no one seems to really understand what the other party is thinking and what he is doing.
"Really?" Upon hearing this, the master of living corpses nodded slightly and said, "Miss Granger, don't worry! These small flaws in the ingredients have been completely covered up by your superb craftsmanship. They are really It's delicious... Maybe you don't know that these days I often go to those ruins to pick out some food to taste, and the food packaged in bags tastes surprisingly good. But as soon as I smelled your table of delicious food today, I knew, those The food in the bag is not worth mentioning at all!”
"Oh, that must be the ruins of the Muggle supermarket, right? This disaster... Oh, what a pity."
Ron on the side is extremely adaptable, and maybe he has a bit of a broken mentality after losing his two legs. Now he can even maintain his composure when facing the Lord of the Living Corpses. A stable mind.
Of course, this may also contain some of the feelings towards acquaintances, just like Hermione.
"When I was at school, Colin even gave me a taste of Muggle potato chips! I must say, they are indeed a bit different from the snacks in the magical world!"
But at this moment, after hearing Ron's words "It's a pity", everyone suddenly found that the "Lord of the Living Corpses" in front of them stopped stuffing food into his mouth, and gently put down the silver spoon and spoon in his hand. fork.
"It is indeed a pity... This world should be more beautiful, not the chaos it is today. But please don't worry, because what we are doing now is to return the world to the peace it once was... No, it should be better than before. better."
After saying this, he paused for a moment and subconsciously glanced in a certain direction.
"And destroying the devil is the first step towards the future we hope for!"
"So, have you found your next target?"
Suddenly, Delphi, who had been sitting at the corner of the long table without saying much, suddenly followed his line of sight and glanced in that direction, and then asked:
"Just now I heard you mention something like 'the harvest of a whole day's work'... I think that's what you were referring to, right?"
"Oh, smart and careful human girl, your guess is very accurate - as you said, I have indeed targeted the next demon we can try to eliminate." The Lord of the Living Corpses nodded slowly, but very quickly But he waved his hands and said, "Of course, this is only based on my personal judgment. Whether it should be implemented according to my choice requires further participation in the discussion... Look! Aren't we 'cooperating'? I won't Deliberately influence your choices.”
"Yes, of course," Delphi pursed his lips and looked at him and said, "But before that, I still want to hear your thoughts... Since you have made a choice, you must have your reasons. Yes, isn't it? After all, you must know much more about demons than we do."
