Volume 7 Chapter 2: One On One Talk

"We're back!" Alfia called out as she and the two girls entered the mansion. When they did, they saw Gabriel with a tired look. Alfia questioned, "What happened to you? You guys looked like you went through a riot."

"Ah, it was so difficult getting Herrick out of there."

"Herrick?" Alfia and Faelyn looked at one another. It wasn't Leona, it was Herrick?

"Those beastmen begged for Herrick to stay on the island. They kept grabbing onto him."

"Ah," The three girls took a deep sigh. Everything made sense.

"I'm guessing it happened to you guys as well?" This was a likely scenario.

"Yeah, they kept begging Scarlet to stay here." The demons weren't as hectic as the other side, but they followed her.

"I see." Gabriel took a deep sigh.

"Why are you acting like this, Gabriel? It was so fun." While that shaved 10 years out of Gabriel, Herrick and Melor were the opposite!

"..." You guys were the problem! Gabriel had to deal with them. The most tiresome thing was to drag these two fighting maniacs out of there. While the girls could only feel bad for him,

"Welcome back, everyone. Woah! What happened to you guys?" Keith came out of the kitchen with an apron on.

"Nothing."

"Ahh, I see. Well, I prepared some cookies and fruit. There's also some drinks in the living room as well."

"That's great!" Herrick and Melor headed in. But not as much for Alfia, the sweet lover.

"And Scarlet, Leona. You two can choose a room once you have some snacks."

"...Understood." Keith nodded as he headed back into the kitchen.

"Why are you so spaced out?" Alfia looked at Scarlet; her expression was so blank that anyone from a mile away could see.

"Did you not see him with the apron on?!" Scarlet started to shake the elf! But that only caused the others to tilt their heads.

"Do you have a-" "No, I do not!" Scarlet quickly slapped her mouth.

She explained, "Have you seen someone wear an apron out like that?!"

"You're not!" Alfia retorted!

"Eh? Why not?"

"Because you can't!" Alfia glared at Scarlet, who had an undisturbed look. The demon woman shrugged, "So bossy. Where is your room then? I will take the one next to yours."

"Alright." Alfia took a sigh of relief.

"I want to be next to Herrick!" Leona shouted.

"Sure."

No one was going to stop her from being close to him. Herrick and Melor. Those two were the loudest. It was her funeral. Like that, everyone got to work on helping the two girls move. When they were finished, "Sorry if it's not like your room on the other islands."

"It's fine. And this is more than enough for me." Scarlet shook her head. The room she had before had a lot of excess space. This was just having everything down low instead.

"That's great. Now, let's go to the dining room. I think Keith is finished cooking."

"So that's what the smell was." Scarlet smiled as the two girls walked downstairs. And when they did, they had seen everyone.

"You two are late!" Herrick growled. Alfia scoffed at him, "Relax, we're only a few minutes late."

"A few minutes is more than enough for me!" In that short timeframe, he would eat at least three platefuls of food!

"..." Alfia just shook her head as she sat at the table. Scarlet also sat beside the girl. Keith smiled, "Today, I went a little overboard. But we have two new people joining us on this island. Please welcome them!"

"Cheers!" Like that, the party started. Scarlet stared down at the food that was on the table. This is different from the ones that we ate.

"What's this?"

"It's boffalo steaks."

"Boffalo? You mean those bone beasts?" She had hunted some of them before in the demon kingdom. You can eat these? This was unexpected.

"Mmhmm. Go ahead and try. I soaked it in beef stock."

"Mmhm!" The moment Scarlet bit into it, the taste exploded into her mouth, causing her to pause. What a flavor. She never knew a buffalo would taste like this.

"And these vegetables as well." Each one was tasty and vibrant from one another.

"It was quite the feast."
