The War Hero Raises a Demon Slave

25 – Satisfy the Noble Lineage!(7)

Dawn the next day.

Einer woke up at the ringing of the bell tower and went downstairs to get ready for work.

Strangely, however, the kitchen was quiet.

Ael, who always woke up first around this time, made a simple breakfast in the kitchen.

I was so nervous and overworked at the food tasting yesterday that I must have overslept.

You look like a pitiful and cute child.

Einer, who had just passed the living room and was about to open the door, stopped when he suddenly noticed something strange.

Looking back, isn’t Ael lying face down on the dark kitchen table with the lights off?

What is that doing?

“Hey, Ael. Ael.”

As I shook her shoulder, Ael sighed, swallowed her saliva, and looked around her with her half-open eyes.

“Eh…?”

“What are you doing here? Aren’t you sleeping in your room?”

“Eek…. I must have fallen asleep… Huh?! Going to work?!”

Ael stood up and stumbled and ran to the kitchen counter.

“What should I do, what should I do! I’m sorry, master! I must have fallen asleep too deeply for my stupidity! Oh, what should I do? Wait a moment? I’ll have a meal ready soon!”

“No no. Don’t do that. It’s okay. It’s really okay, so don’t do it.”

“Ah… sorry….”

Ael closed her eyes tightly, clutching her head with both of her hands.

“Then why did you sleep here?”

“I have a little something to think about… Because of yesterday’s tasting party…”

“Really? You did a good job. Is there a problem?”

“Anyway, what Mr. Ryan said kept getting stuck…”

“What? I just skipped what he said. I told you. He’s a royal family, so he’s very picky about his taste.”

At your words, Ael shook her head.

“Yes, I understand…”

“Then I’m going. Open the door because they said the bed and desk are coming in today.”

“Ah, yes! I see, master!”

Ael followed you and bowed down so that her forehead touched the instep of her feet.

“Goodbye!”

Ael, who stood until Ainor disappeared down the hill, soon began to cry and fed many chestnuts on his head.

Stupid, dull, lazy locusts are like slaves!

The owner went to work on an empty stomach!

This should never happen again….

This time, my master may have been lenient, but if he continues to behave like this in the future, he might regret buying me.

Then I….

“Aagh! No!!”

Ael screamed and ran into the house.

* * * * *

“Chief, yesterday was really delicious.”

Marco said while going on patrol at dawn.

“When I tried Eastern cuisine in the past, I wondered what it tasted like.”

“Yes. Ael is good at cooking. Everyone ate well yesterday, so Ael liked it.”

“So you’re actually opening a restaurant now?”

At Toby’s question, Einer nodded her head.

“I have to. I’m thinking of putting a few more tables and opening the door.”

“You’re amazing. You’re making a dream come true in the end. Of course you don’t do it yourself.”

“It’s better than doing it myself. As long as I keep getting the security guard’s salary, I won’t starve to death even if the restaurant goes down.”

“Ohhh? So, do you intend to keep feeding that demon?”

Kira, who was walking in front of her, looked back at her with a mischievous smile.

“Are you starving then?”

“Hey. Then why don’t you get married after freeing me?”

“What a sudden marriage, you bastard.”

“No, isn’t that right? If you don’t intend to work as slaves, live together, open a restaurant, and take responsibility even if it fails, aren’t you just a married couple?”

“That’s right.”

Toby giggled in agreement.

“I saw yesterday that she was cute and pretty, and that she was petite and fat enough to give birth to children. On top of that, she’s nice and cooks well. How easy is it to find a girl like that? Even though she’s a demon, you can’t tell them apart from the outside.”

“Really. After cutting off the horns, they looked like humans. Are they really demons?”

As Toby tilted his head, Einer told him about how he saved the roof from collapsing the other day by opening his body.

“Anyway, in the end, it’s better for the captain to marry and live with him. Here in Daham, you can’t find anyone like that, and the captain is 30 soon, so you have to get married soon.”

Einer laughed at Kira’s words.

“Now I even receive life plans from the members.”

“But there’s nothing wrong with Kira’s words. Even from my point of view, that demon called Ael seems to be doing well, Captain.”

When even Marco gave his opinion, you shook his head.

“It’s okay. I didn’t bring you here with that in mind. I’ll release you at the right time and let you go. He’s going to Berabche.”

Kira tilted her head.

“Berabche? Why?”

“Isn’t that where demons give something similar to citizenship?”

“Ehh? Why are you going there? Do you live here? As long as you have money, it’s a demon and it has nothing to do with anything.”

“I don’t know. He said he ran off a freighter to get there. If he even cuts off the horns, he’s really determined.”

“What do you mean?”

Ei You told his crew about the Demon Horn.

For the demons who accidentally passed through the opened dimension long ago, the horns symbolize the hometown world and kinship consciousness.

And also that without horns, you can’t use your strength properly.

Marco said admiringly.

“Captain, you have considerable knowledge about demons.”

“I picked it up here and there.”

Okay or not, Kira waved a finger at Einer with an evil smile.

“Anyway, get married, get married!”

“Isn’t Kira-senpai more urgent? I’ll probably get older soon…”

“Shut up, Toby!”

Toby and Kira started bickering again.

I think it would be faster for those two to get married.

Marriage anyway?

Einer thought about Kira’s words.

He is a non-marriage.

To be precise, he did not want to make himself a life partner or someone more important than himself.

The reason is simple.

This is because he lost his mother and the people of the baron who were like family to the demon king in an instant.

Einer wasn’t mature enough at the time to accept the death of loved ones.

And it would be difficult for anyone to deal with the situation of being alone in an instant due to such a tragedy.

The shock, fear, and pain at that time were so great that Einor gave up the idea of creating a ‘family’.

Marriage is out of the question.

That’s also with demon slaves.

Above all, even if I made up my mind to do it, I couldn’t force myself to do it if Ael didn’t agree.

“Don’t be ridiculous, Kira!”

“Why are you screaming!”

“Isn’t that the captain’s slave?”

Ryan, who had been quiet in the midst of the commotion, finally opened his mouth.

The place he pointed to was the front gate of the port security unit.

There I saw Ael standing there, holding a basket in his hand, crouching.

Many people come and go between the Port Security Force and the Port Authority because they share the main gate.

So, whenever people passed the front door, Ael huddled close to his wall, cowering for fear of attracting attention.

“Why did he come? Did you order something?”

“No. There is no such thing?”

“Ael!”

When Marco shouted, Ael, startled, almost dropped the basket.

However, as soon as she saw Ei’s face as she approached, a smile of relief bloomed on her face.

“Heng, that’s cute.”

Kira licked her lips and giggled.

“Master…!”

As Einer came in front, Ael ran to Dodo and shouted gladly.

“Why are you here?”

“That’s… To give you this…”

The basket Ael held out contained a large glass bottle.

In the glass bottle, I could see shredded cabbage and carrots mixed with white sauce.

“What is this?”

“I made something simple to accompany you when you eat porridge. It kept bothering me because he went out early in the morning on an empty stomach…”

“Oh.”

Kira pursed her lips and poked her elbow into Toby’s side.

“Chief, take it quickly. Ael’s arm will drop.”

At Marco’s words, you quickly accepted her basket.

“Thank you, Ael. I’ll eat well.”

“Yes…! Then, goodbye everyone!”

Ael bowed her head so that her forehead touched her ankle, glanced at Ryan, and ran away.

“Hey, Ryan.”

“Yes, captain.”

“Ael seemed to have been thinking all night about what you said yesterday.”

“I see. I’m sorry. But just because it doesn’t suit my taste doesn’t mean it doesn’t taste good.”

“That’s right. Then let’s go in. Let’s see what he’s made.”

Ael made coleslaw.

Cabbage, carrots, and onions finely chopped and seasoned with mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper.

It is rarely eaten alone and is good to eat with greasy foods such as fried foods.

The other day, Einer told Ael that the kitchen was like garbage, and she seemed to remember that.

The crew members who received the fish porridge and sat around the table looked at the coleslaw and smacked their lips.

“Eat.”

After Einer’s permission was granted, the crew scooped up a large bowl of coleslaw with a fork and brought it to their mouths.

“Wow, this is great.”

Marco exclaimed.

Ael’s coleslaw was, as he said, a hit.

The textures of fresh cabbage, carrots, and onions harmonize perfectly to create a savory taste.

The soft and rich taste of mayonnaise and the fresh sour taste of apple cider vinegar are in balance, and sugar and salt are properly added to enhance the overall taste.

The salivary glands under the ears are sore from the fresh scent and sour taste that fills your mouth.

And the aftertaste is so refreshing.

Eating it with A.L.’S coleslaw made even trashy fish porridge feel like it was upgraded to the next level.

“It’s really, really delicious. Boss! Let’s get married right away!”

As Kira splattered the chewed food and shouted, Toby made a disgusted look.

“Anyway, listening to Kira’s words seems to be beneficial in many ways.”

Einer snorted at Marco’s words.

“Stop talking nonsense, everyone. By the way, Ryan. How are you?”

Taking a bite of trash fish porridge topped with coleslaw, Ryan commented briefly.

“Not bad.”

What the hell does that bastard want to eat to be satisfied?
