Chapter 6: Demon King Castle Cafeteria? Even Lemures Don’t Eat There!
Even though she said “let’s go eat,” Lolth was actually going to cook.
Lolth was willing to spend a lot of money to recreate various flavors of food from the Otherworld, even though it wasn’t her own money… But this peculiar person, Lolth, was willing to write a three-page paper in order to eat, showing her dedication to good food.
Therefore, she definitely wouldn’t be eating at the Demon King Castle’s staff cafeteria.
Cafeterias everywhere have a common trait, with low upper limits and very low lower limits!
The Demon King Castle cafeteria is no exception… or rather, it’s even worse!
In normal human cafeterias, the worst case scenario might be finding bugs in the food.
But the cafeteria in the Demon King Castle was simply full of bugs!
After all, many of the demon race and monsters working there considered various shellfish to be their staple food.
Dishes like Iron Crawler Bread and Stir-fried Three Beetles were considered mild in taste.
Even without bugs, the remaining dishes were all burnt to a crisp and bitter, such as magical beast meat cooked until it was tough and sour liquid mixed with Abyss Moss served in a special container, as well as giant beast bone clubs that were surface-tempered…
At the special counter, you could also find dishes like a volcanic stone and lava platter beloved by the Flame demon race, thousand-year ice chunks sashimi favored by the Frost demon race, and stir-fried mithril ore scraps loved by the Giant demon race, etc.
The Abyssal cuisine mainly focused on the taste of “pain” and emphasized a strong “hardness”, highlighting the challenge food posed to one’s digestive system.
At meal times, the whole cafeteria sounded like a construction site.
Very tough and very Abyssal.
Even though Lolth was someone willing to try exotic foods, it was difficult for her to stomach these delicacies.
What’s more, in the Moon Elf interrogation room, there was a sad Elf Princess named Tina Leinster.
Even though Tina didn’t help Lolth as expected, Lolth didn’t want the Elf Princess to go hungry or eat at the Demon King Castle cafeteria.
To be honest, it was not much different from direct questioning.
You could even say that questioning was gentler because it preserved the other person’s ability to communicate…
But making non-Abyssal Demon guys, especially elves and humans, eat at the Demon King Castle cafeteria would lead to their immediate execution.
Lolth naturally wouldn’t do something so cruel.
Even if she didn’t desire this Elf Princess, she couldn’t bear to see such a pretty young girl to be killed by food.
Anyway, making an extra portion of dinner wasn’t a big deal.
She enjoyed eating pork chop rice so much, which was a great approval of her own cooking skills!
Even though Tina was very cautious, Lolth thought it might be a good opportunity to slightly reduce Tina’s guard.
“Look forward to tonight, Princess Tina!”
With a cheerful mood, Lolth said this to Tina and then left the “Moon Elf interrogation room.”
Tina, who had been watching Lolth sketching and muttering to herself, was already trembling with fear on the side.
And she even heard Lolth calling her name after getting up!
Subconsciously looking up, she saw the joyful expression on Lolth’s face.
She was so scared that she stiffened, like a frightened little animal.
It wasn’t until Lolth left the room that Tina finally felt weak and slumped down next to the round wooden desk.
“She must have been writing about how to torture me just now!”
“Tonight… after tonight… will I fall into depravity…”
“Mother, Sister Froer, I don’t want to become a disgrace to the Moon Elf clan…”
Tina murmured, almost on the verge of tears.
However, with the anti-magic shackles on, unable to use her magic, she couldn’t even bring herself to kill herself!
Methods of suicide for ordinary humans were like fairy tales to elves with strong vitality and healing powers.
Supporting herself on the edge of the table to climb up, she was starting to feel disoriented.
In a daze, Tina’s gaze fell on the parchment map.
Then, as she looked at the freshly dried ink lines on it, her eyes gradually lit up.
It seemed… it was not a plan on how to torture herself.
But it was a map!
After looking closely, it turned out to be a map of the western front!
The quality of the drawing was quite good, even if it was made by the commanders of the Holy Alliance, it was still just like this.
Tina quickly realized… this was the masterpiece of the Succubus Interrogator Lolth from earlier!
The whole continent knew that the maps made by the Abyssal Demons were very poor!
Because the scouts of the Demon Army were mainly Abyssal Lizards, which were creatures with fast speed, average intelligence, shapeshifting abilities, and the talent to sneak underground, they could come and go without a trace, making them difficult to detect.
However, these creatures had a huge flaw.
They were born blind without vision, and their claws were very clumsy!
So they struggled to accurately detect and draw the specific terrain, and could only detect the presence of enemies based on fluctuations in magic!
Based on this map drawn with second-hand information from blind lizards, it’s almost useless for practical purposes!
But…
Why can Miss Interrogator draw such a beautiful map?
Tina continued to scrutinize it carefully, but the more she looked, the more frightened she became.
