"HMM... this apple pie tastes good. What's the word? 'sweet and delicious'? The dense icing has penetrated into every corner of the pie. This taste is unforgettable all your life..."
Somehow, whenever the "Lord of the living body" appears, the whole scene will be dominated by him immediately. Both the initial negotiation and the subsequent cooperation are the same.
Even tonight's dinner invitation, which is actually nothing special, seems to have unconsciously turned into a food tasting party dominated by him!
"... and this pudding is sweet, smooth and tender. It melts at the entrance. It's fascinating."
The dark and tall figure of the "Lord of the living corpse", even if he sat down, he would go up a circle than the average person. However, at this moment, he took a silver spoon much smaller than his palm, very gently and carefully gouged out the pudding and sent it to his ferocious mouth. This scene is full of disobedience.
To be honest, it is more acceptable here than the strange feeling of the soft pudding trembling on the tip of the spoon and being sent into the huge mouth of the abyss. Perhaps it can be simply replaced by a bloody agitated heart.
"Hornheim?"
Safina stared at each other for a moment. She couldn't help turning her head to Sarah, but she saw that the other party just shook her head without trace.
"Hmm?" Sarah took a wooden spoon, filled a small bowl of raspberries and sent them to Safina. "You can mix some hot cheese. It tastes good... By the way, take the black pepper for me. The bottle is on your side. I'll sprinkle some on the fried chicken leg."
"Oh."
Safina took the small bowl and handed over the small bottle containing black pepper without saying anything. She knew that Sarah was trying to calm her down and keep looking at the situation.
But... What should I say?
Since the arrival of the "Lord of the living corpse", the dinner that should have been gradually harmonious was suddenly filled with an inexplicable sense of stagnation - the three living corpses were naturally restrained in an instant in the presence of the master; The human wizards, led by Hermione, are also confused.
Probably only the initiator himself had a taste of this and that, making this monologue like "food tasting meeting" inexplicable.
In this regard, Safina, who has been suspicious because of her recent discoveries, can't help it - she's not as calm as Sarah!
Fortunately, even if her heart is about to be in a mess, she can't do anything. At present, she can only do it and endure it. Perhaps it is because of this that Sarah is not worried that she will suddenly break out.
Compared with Safina, Sarah is more worried about Hermione.
"Is it really so delicious? I actually made the apple pie, and I'm worried about some failure... Now many materials need to be transported from outside, and I don't know where Bill got these apples, which are not very sweet..."
After these contacts, both Sarah and Safina, Hermione and others have almost determined that the other party should be Maka. This is not only the result inferred from various clues and traces, but also contains an intuitive recognition of acquaintances to some extent.
Therefore, Hermione can actually hear from her words. Although she has not broken the invisible barrier on the surface, she has subconsciously treated each other as Maka.
Well, maybe we shouldn't use the word "estrangement", because it's more like a barrier built by "tacit understanding"... At least Hermione probably thinks so.
Unlike Safina and Sarah, Hermione has never doubted Maka, and believes that every act of Maka should have its deep meaning.
Although up to now, no one seems to really understand what the other party is thinking and doing.
"Really?" the Lord of the corpse nodded at the speech, "Don't worry, Miss Granger! This little defect in the ingredients has been completely covered up by your superb craftsmanship. They are really delicious... Maybe you don't know, I often go to those ruins these days to taste some food, and the things encapsulated in bags taste surprisingly good. But I knew when I smelled your delicious food today, those bags The food in the is not worth mentioning! "
"Oh, that should be the ruins of Muggle supermarket? This disaster... Alas, what a pity."
On one side, Ron is particularly adaptable, and may have a broken can and broken mentality after losing two legs. Now he can maintain a stable heart even when facing the Lord of the living corpse.
Of course, it may also contain some feelings of treating acquaintances like Hermione.
"When I was at school, Colin also tasted Muggle chips! It must be said that it is really a little different from the snacks in the magic world!"
But just then, after hearing Ron's "pity", everyone suddenly found that the "Lord of the living corpse" in front of us stopped stuffing food into his mouth and gently put down the silver spoon and fork in his hand.
"It's really a pity... The world should be better than the chaos now. But please rest assured, because what we are doing now is to restore the peace in the world... No, it should be better than before."
With that, he paused a little and looked in a certain direction subconsciously.
"The elimination of demons is the first step towards the future we want!"
"So, have you found your next goal?"
Coldly, Delphi, who had been sitting in the corner of the long table without much conversation, suddenly glanced in that direction along his line of sight, and then asked:
"Just now I heard you say something like 'harvest after a busy day'... I think that should mean this thing?"
"Oh, smart and careful human girl, your guess is very accurate - as you said, I have indeed aimed at the next devil we can try to eliminate." the Lord of the living corpse nodded slowly, but soon spread his hand again, "Of course, this is only based on my personal judgment. Whether to implement it according to my choice needs further discussion... Look! Aren't we 'cooperating'? I won't deliberately influence your choice."
"Yes, of course," said Delphi, looking at him. "But before that, I still want to listen to your thoughts... Since you have made a choice, you must have your reason, don't you? After all, you must know more about the devil than we do."
