Chapter 6: Demon King Castle Cafeteria? Even Lemures Don’t Eat There!
Even though she said “Let’s go eat,” Lolth was planning 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 just to eat, showcasing her dedication to good food.
Therefore, she definitely wouldn’t be eating at the Demon King Castle’s staff cafeteria.
Cafeterias everywhere share a common trait—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 demons 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, sour liquid mixed with Abyss Moss served in a special container, and 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 and others.
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 an Elf Princess named Tina Leinster.
Even though Tina hadn’t helped 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 individuals—especially elves and humans—eat at the Demon King Castle cafeteria would likely lead to their immediate execution.
Lolth naturally wouldn’t do something so cruel.
Even if she didn’t like this Elf Princess, she couldn’t bear to see such a pretty young girl killed by food.
Anyway, making an extra portion of dinner wasn’t a big deal.
Lolth enjoyed eating pork chop rice so much, which was a great endorsement of her cooking skills!
Even though Tina was very cautious, Lolth thought it might be a good opportunity to slightly reduce Tina’s guard.
“Looking 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 as she got up!
Subconsciously, Tina looked up and 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 crying.
However, with the anti-magic shackles on, unable to use her magic, she couldn’t 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, Tina began to feel disoriented.
In a daze, her gaze fell on the parchment map.
As she looked at the freshly dried ink lines, her eyes gradually brightened.
It seemed… this wasn’t a plan for torturing her.
But it was a map!
Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a map of the Western Front!
The quality of the drawing was quite good—if it had been made by the commanders of the Holy Alliance, it would have looked just like this.
Tina quickly realized… this was the work of the Succubus Interrogator, Lolth, from earlier!
The whole continent knew that the maps made by the Abyssal Demons were very poor!
This was because the scouts of the Demon Army were mainly Abyssal Lizards—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 big flaw.
They were born blind lacking vision, and their claws were very clumsy!
As a result, they struggled to accurately detect and map specific terrain, only being able to sense the presence of enemies based on fluctuations in magic!
A map drawn from the second-hand information of blind lizards was practically useless for practical purposes!
But…
Why was Miss Interrogator able to draw such a beautiful map?
Tina continued to scrutinize it, but the more she looked, the more frightened she became.
