EPISODE 207: THE END OF THE FEAST
“You sure are quite enjoying yourself well, Hiiro”
Demon Lord Eveam came up in a dash. She has this extraordinary atmosphere again. With her blond hair down s.h.i.+ning like a jewel, she was wearing a black dress all over.
She’s already a beautiful girl who is certainly captivating the eyes of men, and because her style is great, the figure of the dress he’s wearing s.h.i.+nes magnificently.
There is also Aquinas next to her, too. He is also wearing a tuxedo, and also has an outstanding figure that you can judge that any kind of woman of the world will be held captive by those.
With a well-refined expression, looking at his slim build, the women around them leaked sighs of admiration.
“The Demon Lord, huh. We’ll talk later. I’m having a meal right now”
Even though the demon lord of the castle itself came to greet him, as expected of Hiiro indeed. But even after being expressed such an att.i.tude, Eveam didn’t break her expression. Rather than that, she smiled in delight.
“Well, sorry about that. If you enjoy it that much, then it’s good”
Like that, Eveam stares at Hiiro’s profile while eating patiently. Noticing Eveam’s glance, Lilyn pouts her mouth sullenly. But being unable to approach because she hates Aquinas who is beside her, she watched them in silence without moving from her place.
“……Hiiro, I want to express my grat.i.tude”
The voice of Aquinas resounded, so Hiiro directed his gaze to him. Moving his mouth while still chewing, as he supply food to his stomach,
“As long as you keep your promise, it’s fine”
He only said that, and began eating again. Seeing Hiiro like that, a faint smile came into Aquinas’ cheeks. Eveam then calls his name, in which as he moves his line of sight reluctantly,
“S-so……this……thi-this dress……how do I look?”
It’s pretty obvious know it in just one glance. However, to her who was fidgeting in embarra.s.sment to hear his evaluation, he only tilted his neck as he heard her question.
He gave himself up and kept silent for a while, as she stared at him, yearning for his answer. Because it became an atmosphere that requires him to say something,
“…well, you look quite mature, somehow”
“Re-re-rerereally? A, aha, is that so……fufu”
At once, she gave off a adult-like expression, vanis.h.i.+ng her traces of childishness, and somehow, seeing her satisfied expression, happiness could be felt within.
As if ruining her mood, Lilyn had a difficult expression. She wants to concentrate on her meal, but now, she felt a complicated feeling that she didn’t like.
Hiiro felt a threatening atmosphere from Lilyn who’s in his rear, but he was puzzled as he can’t remember doing anything that seemed to anger her. Therefore, he judged that it’s because Silva had done something again, so he didn’t bother.
Eveam talked to Aquinas in a cheerful tone. Thinking that he could finally enjoy his meal in peace,
Kui……
He felt a sensation of his clothes being tugged from behind.
(Oi oi, give me a break already!)
When he confirmed in a bad mood who is the person in question,
“ah, I-I’m sorry, nano”
Did she sense that Hiiro was angry? She swayed her eyes somewhere in panic. She is the captain of the Demon Army Corps, Eunice. The girl who played an active part in the recent duel.
(TN: She was previously named as Eonis in the past translations, but I am sticking out with Eunice, as it sounds more proper)
With her light green hair braided to the side, coiled round and round, her eye mask worn when she went to the duel is no longer there.
The eye mask in the first place, was to hide the burn around her eyes which was then cured by Hiiro. Big round eyes, fitted in such a cute face, you can confirm clearly that she’s a pretty child.
She was wearing a blue China dress-like with a slit flowing into. With three small bells attached near her chest, every time she move a refres.h.i.+ng sound drifts in your ears. How would you put it, she gave a feeling of a cute Chinese daughter.
“……What?”
As she heard his unsociable tone, he saw Eunice catching glimpses with upturned eyes observing his mood. To such state, which look like as if he’s bullying her, he let out a sigh.
I just want to concentrate on something good, but……
“……hey”
For goodness sake, he presented a plate to the girl without needing any words. On top of it is the cut-off slice of the pizza from a while ago.
“…..Eh?”
“Try it”
“Ah……un”
Eunice who received the plate, opens her mouth halfway and bites the pizza. Then her expression that showed gloom, brightened just like Nikki.
“……delicious”
“Isn’t it? I mean, haven’t you eaten something like this before?”
He thought that she had already eaten these things before because she was a captain, but it looks like this seemed to be her first experience.
“Yeah. Musun said this. That this pizza can be made only at a special time”
“Oh? Then the more the reason to eat this food more”
Hiiro says so, and takes another pizza, too.
“……Hey,nano”
His clothes are pulled again. Getting used to it, he turned back his eyes.
“Does Hideo, like eating-nano?”
“Guess so”
“Hmmm～”
“By the way, stop saying Hideo”
“……Why-nano?”
As for her and the others, I understand the feelings why she wants to call me so. I know that much. But,
“It gives me an itch in the back”
“……then, what should I call you?”
“You can call me anything you like, but spare me with Hideo”
Lost in her thoughts, he sealed her lips with his forefinger. Coming up with an idea, she raised her face suddenly and fix her eyes on him.
“Then, may I call you Onii-chan?”
“I don’t mind it, but because if there is another guy whom you call similarly elsewhere, it will be kind of confusing”
“it’s alright-nano. As it’s only just Onii-chan-nano”
“then it’s good”
“un”
Although feeling shy, Eunice blushes in bliss. She’s embarra.s.sed, but gives of a happy feeling.
After that, she was summoned by Eveam and has gone somewhere together. Lilyn, who was nauseated by the atmosphere and waiting for this opportunity, came up to the side.
“You sure are very popular right now, Hiiro”
“So this time, it’s you……”
“Wha-why are you looking at me with an irritated face?!”
Saying something unexpected, she pointed a finger at him. However, the complaint is there. That is because he only wants to savor the taste of the meal slowly.
“Th-this pleb, even though I have waited for this opportunity!”
“What the h.e.l.l are you talking about?”
“I’m also a woman too……why are these special kind of guys so dense one after another……geez”
Muttering the last part as softly as no one was able to hear it, she knitted her brows without knowing what to do with him. Then, in the vicinity where Silva is smiling said “Milady who is jealous is cute, too” in a trance with cheeks in red,
(Where the h.e.l.l is the jealousy? I mean I didn’t do anything, right?)
She’s jealous because she had no chance? Or, that’s because she had, that she’s jealous? …………I don’t get it.
Well, this is certainly a good chance to make a show in the society, but I don’t understand why she’s jealous.
(……………Oh well)
Because he was unable to find the answer even he think about it, he decided to leave it for the time being. If it’s something serious, he judged that he will find the answer eventually. For now, it’s the meal. He wishes to leave himself alone already.
Taking some distance to Lilyn who was muttering something alone, Hiiro who became alone finally intends to enjoy his mean to his heart’s content, bringing food to his mouth while discharging an unapproachable aura.
The surrounding women in the vicinity that wants to get closer to him, though judging that it’s their chance to get intimate with him if they approach him now, a feeling of overwhelming sense of rejection came from Hiiro, keeping them at distance.
Hiiro understood that their eyes are centered on himself, but he doesn’t know that it was detonated by his heroic nature. Therefore the women, though the fact among other things they’ll probably be rejected by Hiiro before even being aware, with his present mood today, as well as Lilyn’s checking up on him being an obstruction to them, there is now way Hiiro would know.
And thus, the feast had marked its end.
