Chapter 74: Yo, Yo, Yo

This world should not have financial reports at all!

Those despised financial reports should be burned fiercely in the fires of hell, and finally disappear from this world.

While filling out the financial quarterly report, Lin Lin thought this, even though she was already in hell.

The accountant and the financial reports went to hell together and then began to fill out the financial statements. Goodness, what started as a sad situation now sounds a bit funny.

Hearing some noise coming from Demon King Castle, Lin Lin got up and went to the window to see what was happening.

It was Orion feeding the monsters. Lin Lin didn’t stay at the window for long and returned to her seat.

During lunch, someone knocked on the door. Lin Lin was a bit surprised that someone would dare to disturb her while she was filling out forms, especially since her bad temper during work hours was well-known.

After waiting for a moment without any response from the other side of the door, Lin Lin lowered her head and continued working.

She wanted to finish the main forms before going to lunch because if she got interrupted, she would have to take a nap after lunch, and when she woke up, her thoughts wouldn’t be as clear as they were now.

Lin Lin spent some time on this. She had stew every day and had no expectations for the cafeteria food. In a way, the stew was just a nutritional supplement to keep her alive.

Although there was a simple calculator, filling out the forms by hand made it easy to make mistakes, and a thick pile of paper for notes and calculations stacked beside her table.

Honestly, this world should invent computers quickly. Can someone please nudge mage Caligo to think of a way, or get Your Majesty the Demon King to summon over a computer from the modern world too?

Lin Lin quickly calculated with her hands while her mind wandered to useless thoughts.

She originally planned to just finish the main form and then go eat, but in the end, Lin Lin poured all her attention into her work and only stopped after completing all the reports.

The sun had already set outside; it was not quite evening yet, but it was in the afternoon.

Lin Lin stretched her arms and yawned; the heavy burden that had been on her shoulders was finally completed, and she could sleep well tonight.

Her legs felt a little numb from sitting too long, like a thousand snowflakes from an old television sticking to them. Lin Lin held onto the desk and stood for a while before gaining control of her legs again.

She shuffled her way to the door and pushed it open.

The tall figure startled her, making her legs, which had been unresponsive, work again. Lin Lin clutched her chest, her heart racing, "Orion… Do you need something?"

If a regular person had been standing there, she would have been startled, but her reaction was much stronger. The reason Lin Lin felt as tense as if caught by an NPC in an escape room was that Orion was not wearing his head.

His strong body and broad armor made him look powerful and imposing; the place where the helmet should be was empty, and for a moment, Lin Lin thought a ghost was coming to claim her.

No, after thinking carefully, Orion is very likely a wronged ghost.

After asking Orion, Lin Lin thought to herself, he didn’t bring a head, how can we communicate?

There was no need for Lin Lin to worry too much, the armor itself made a sound, and it was still Orion’s voice, "I meant to remind you to have lunch."

Lin Lin turned to look at the sky; it was time for dinner now.

"Have you been waiting since noon?" Lin Lin hesitated. She regretted not opening the door to see who was there when it was knocked on at noon, and she felt a bit awkward that the other person would really wait.

Lin Lin did not have the courage to look directly at the headless body; she tried to appear polite but then uncontrollably looked away.

The Death Knight paused for a moment, he covered a bit of the empty space at his neck with his hand, still speaking in a gentle tone, "No, I haven’t."

–

This time, Orion clearly chose some ingredients carefully.

He knows the ingredients and flavors of humans, and always communicates with the delivery people who come to the Demon King Castle. No one is more suitable for this job than him; he made steak and avocado salad.

Lin Lin has already discovered that although Orion is very familiar with cooking, he often makes simpler dishes, more like the everyday meals of common people in this world.

Although Lin Lin has been in this world for quite a while, she has mostly eaten stews or food made by professional chefs, with little chance to eat homemade dishes.

You can tell their tastes from the food the cooks make.

The aunt who makes the stews prefers a sweet flavor, and the stews are the same, while Orion likes the natural taste of the meat with strong black pepper.

The medium-rare steak shows clear meat stripes, and when you cut into it, you can see a light pink color inside, with the edges being a light brown, delicious aroma. Just one bite fills your mouth with the rich flavor of the meat along with a strong pepper taste, making your mouth water.

Orion stood a bit behind Lin Lin, out of her view while she was eating.

"Do you like this flavor?" Orion asked, "Maybe a lady’s taste might be lighter?"

"It’s very delicious, and the salad helps balance the flavors," Lin Lin replied.

This world may be influenced by the times or maybe by the lack of developed transportation. Originally, there were fewer flavors of seasonings than in modern society. Lin Lin, who often eats a variety of dishes, would not dislike a meal just because it has a strong flavor.

After learning about Lin Lin’s opinion on the dishes, Orion left because he had other things to do.

Lin Lin turned to look at his departing figure. Honestly, she thought he seemed much less harmless from behind than when facing him.

He still had many busy tasks to complete, so why would he make dinner for himself?

Your Majesty the Demon King arrived late. He had slept too long during his afternoon nap and then had to catch up on work that he didn’t finish because of sleeping, looking quite tired.

He returned to his usual appearance.

After once hitting his horn on the door frame, although the silver chain on the horn was not damaged, Your Majesty the Demon King framed that chain and hung it above his bed.

It is hard to judge; Lin Lin expressed that she did not support it but understood.

The Demon King sat opposite Lin Lin. As soon as he appeared in the cafeteria, a Flame Slime brought over a bowl of herb and cheese baked meat.

The people in the Demon King’s castle are all strong and have good appetites.

Lin Lin remembers that the only one with a smaller appetite is Dark Elf Felix. After all, Dark Elves eat mushrooms, and if the mushrooms grow as big as monsters, then the Dark Elves can enjoy such a big meal.

Lin Lin looked at the thick layer of cheese covering the meat on the Demon King’s plate, which she could not identify but looked terrifying, and once again confirmed that she absolutely could not eat the same food as him.

Sweet and scary.

The Demon King began to eat, while Lin Lin was drinking the last of the sweet soup.

"Did you order Orion to take care of me?" Lin Lin asked.

Your Majesty the Demon King clearly did not expect Lin Lin to ask this question, "Is he taking care of you?"

"I think so," Lin Lin replied, at least Orion did not prepare meals for Your Majesty the Demon King.

Compared to Lin Lin’s confusion, the Demon King’s attitude was quite relaxed; he was someone who has always had privileges and does not pay much attention to someone’s kindness.

"That should not be the case," His Majesty the Demon King gave Lin Lin a common glance, "You are a fragile human. If someone in this city does not take care of you, that is when you should tell me, and I will take care of them for you."

"Including Safir?" Lin Lin asked on purpose; she remembered that Safir had sent new books to the Demon King not long ago.

"Hmph, just Safir," His Majesty the Demon King huffed, "I am the king of Demon King Castle! Who else has more power than me?"

"Wow, you are really impressive."

The two chatted in a light-hearted way. Although His Majesty the Demon King ate with grace, he ate very quickly, and the food on his plate started to run low.

Suddenly, a wobbly, small, deep red Little Devil flapped its wings and arrived in the dining room.

Lin Lin looked at the Little Devil with confusion.

She could not quite tell who was who among these creatures; she did not know the difference between the Little Devil that sent a letter to Safir and the one in front of her.

Unlike Lin Lin’s confusion, His Majesty the Demon King showed a rather complex expression.

That look was like when you were happy because the teacher forgot to give you summer homework, but at the last moment before leaving, the teacher turned around and told you that this year’s summer homework is twice as much as last year’s.

In short, it was a rather tragic expression.

But when the Little Devil flew towards Lin Lin, the Demon King suddenly felt better. He explained to Lin Lin, "That is the special Little Devil from the Dragon race’s territory. Did you anger Safir? The last time he sent a Little Devil was because he brought me questions."

The Little Devil wobbled in front of Lin Lin and gently placed the bag it was holding on the table.

Lin Lin cut a small piece of steak for it and then reached out to open the bag.

There were no letters or extra items, just a black box.

Lin Lin opened the box and saw a pair of sapphire earrings inside. The blue and silver combination was simple in style, but the size of the gems was enough to show they were expensive.

Since Lin Lin did not have pierced ears, they were clip-on versions.

Lin Lin saw elegant writing in gold on the inside of the box.

[——From the generous Safir.]

Oh, Lin Lin looked down to examine the shiny gemstone earrings.

Safir was mocking her gift as cheap.
