The Cute Master Was Actually the Black Demon King

46 – Can the Lich Eat?

The conclusion came quickly.

The Elder Rich accepts Lucifer’s offer.

At the base of that, there was a word of trust that Friedrich Edwald brought out.

“Lucipel is a wizard who is half mad, but surprisingly reasonable.”

“That means… ….”

“You can hide something, you can cheat, but you won’t lie.”

“… ….”

It was an expression that could have been said to be similar.

There was no one who was not wise enough to not know the subtle difference.

So, thanks to Friedrich’s positive opinion and the Emperor’s final acceptance.

[Kuhuhh… ….]

“… ….”

Elder Rich, Lucifer has been doing the same with the Empire for a while.

[Now you can sit here in peace. Isn’t that right, White?]

“…… Why are you asking me?”

White frowned slightly at the figure of Lucifer asking himself, not Friedrich, the emperor, or at least not the other heads of household.

Why do you talk to yourself even when you bring out words that you don’t have to say?

That’s not even when there are no people around, at the moment when so many people are focusing their attention here.

There’s no other way to describe it other than that it’s downright malicious.

White’s eyebrows narrowed.

“Don’t talk to me, Richie. Yes, that gloomy voice is very unpleasant.”

[Kuhuhh… …. Few young guys can speak so confidently in front of me.]

Lucifer looked around her with an eerie grin.

“… ….”

Accordingly, White naturally followed Lucifer’s gaze and turned her eyes to her.

The Emperor and Chris, as well as the seven families, were also focusing their attention on Lucifer and him.

It really was something White didn’t want, attention she didn’t want.

But what can I do?

[Hey, White. Doesn’t the empire even observe the simple etiquette of serving refreshments and tea to guests?]

“… ….”

…… In the yard where Lucifer, who is the most important thing to watch in the current situation, is talking to himself over and over again.

It was strange that others weren’t interested in him.

In fact, not only the heirs of the seven families, but even the head of the family were looking at him and Lucifer with surprising emotions.

“…… Please, Rich. Don’t talk to me I want to kill you.”

Lucifer tilted his head at White’s cold voice.

[Hmm, why are you so uncomfortable? Although our first meeting wasn’t pleasant, I thought I enjoyed talking to you in my own way.]

“Rakuza? Did you just say rakugo?”

White let out a blank laugh once, showing a sense of absurdity.

Mandam, mandam.

Yes, aside from the scene where blue lightning and black chains ran wild.

What exactly was the conversation you had with him?

White frowned and began to ponder her memory.

“… ….”

And, the trouble wasn’t too long.

‘Comic talk… ….’

White patted her arm once, chewing on the word slowly.

-Hey Richie. Maybe that way of thinking is wrong?

-Hmm?

-I’m just saying that you were the only one who considered Sir Edwald as a close friend.

-Is that so? Is that why you are avoiding me?

“… ….”

Maybe.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe that expression isn’t entirely wrong.

White began to think seriously.

‘…… It must have been a surprisingly light atmosphere?’

Is that so?

Is that so?

Thinking that way slightly, White put her chin on her chin.

A criminal who tried to break the barrier, or an enemy who tried to break in.

However, if that identity was a lich, it wouldn’t be strange if the scene immediately changed its form into a bloody battlefield.

It’s a very strange thing, but I can’t help but have serious doubts.

‘Isn’t there a need to create a particularly threatening atmosphere with this lich?’

With that thought in mind, White nodded her head, as if somehow convinced.

“What… …. Yes, maybe not.”

[Hmm?]

And by the time White opened her mouth, Lucifer was already in a state where her maid was shoving her refreshment into her mouth.

“…… ?”

Of course, White’s expression changed strangely.

…… What?

What is she looking at now?

White rubbed her eyes once, revealing her puzzlement.

“…… Is it possible to eat food on the subject of skeletons? In what form are you absorbing it?”

[Ah, that’s what you mean.]

At White’s question, Lucifer smiled.

After that, Lucifer opens his mouth and jaw slightly to reveal the inside.

He let out a laugh, a flash in her dark eyes.

[Can you see? It is the only thing that makes up my body that is not a piece of bone.]

“… ….”

And then, to the sight beyond the bone fragments Lucifer showed me.

Among the bone fragments, the only body organ that emits red color.

In an instant, White’s expression crumpled into a look of displeasure.

Isn’t he like that too?

Anyone would react that way if they saw that unpleasant look.

With that certainty, White opened his mouth in a low voice.

“…… Did you need to leave your tongue behind? No, rather, did you make it after becoming a lich?”

[Correct answer.]

Closing her jaw, Lucifer began munching the refreshment again.

[Although I resisted death because I couldn’t let go of the magic, it’s a pity to even give up my sense of taste.]

“…… So?”

I thought I could roughly guess the story behind it, but first of all, White questioned me.

[Did you conduct research for about 5 years? I finally succeeded in feeling the taste through Richie’s body. By bonding the magically created tongue to the bone.]

“… ….”

The answer that came back was nothing beyond White’s expectations.

From noble mtl dot com

And at that point, a look of absurdity appeared on White’s expression.

…… Wouldn’t that be too

The subject who became crazy about magic and gave up being human for magic.

Can’t let go of the taste?

No, that’s why you created a bodily organ that can taste with the body of a lich?

“This isn’t crazy.”

White muttered her curse words openly.

[Keukkeuk, kuhhahahahaha…… !]

Lucifer burst into laughter at that, but even so, White’s distorted expression showed no signs of improving.

[Ah, ah… …. Interesting too, White. You are a very interesting young guy.]

“You don’t need that interest, so put it back. Before I put a thunderbolt into each of those bones again.”

The words exchanged were really bloody.

Why?

The conversation between these two beings feels like a conversation between very old friends.

…… Of course, it was only a one-sided favor from Lucifer’s side.

Anyway.

“…… Huh.”

It seems that such a sight was enough to make others feel astonished.

“With that immortal Elder Lich, such a conversation could be established?”

Duke Kecil muttered, opening his mouth wide.

Instantly, his gaze turned to Friedrich behind him.

“…… Sir Edwald. Can we just leave the conversation like that?”

─Isn’t it dangerous?

That must be the inner meaning of Duke Kesil’s words.

And Friedrich could clearly see through the meaning.

“Don’t worry.”

“Yes…… ?”

He just couldn’t be more calm.

No, rather, with an empty smile on his lips, Friedrich gave White a meaningful look.

“Because even as Lucifer, I wouldn’t carelessly touch that boy, White.”

“…… What do you mean?”

Because I didn’t understand well, Duke Kesil asked back with a timid look.

Friedrich just shook his head lightly, as if he had no intention of answering the question.

Friedrich’s calm gaze was focused on White.

‘I didn’t want my realm to be revealed.’

Then you will need to respect his will.

There were many reasons for this, but…….

If I had to pick one of the most fundamental reasons, it would be simple.

It must be because he doesn’t want to be pretending to be with that boy.

“… ….”

Once upon a time, Friedrich’s eyes shone with an unusual look.

What passed through his mind was the image of a black-haired girl.

‘…… Even for the thought of her behind White, it’s worth respecting him.’

Isn’t he like that too?

If it’s natural, it’s a natural idea.

Even though he is the great mage of the Empire and the de facto leader of the Continental Magic World.

He didn’t want to ruin his relationship with the great mage-class wizard who would overwhelm him, at least half as many times ahead of him.

…… And at the same time.

“… ….”

Friedrich looked at White again with a slightly relaxed expression.

At least 7 circles, or more.

As a teenager, he is on the verge of becoming an archmage. Even the word genius is not enough.

In short, a boy who deserves to be called a monster.

…… How far can he really go?

It’s only a matter of time before he becomes a wizard of the level of a great mage.

What he was curious about was what came next.

‘…… Maybe, with your talent, you might be able to reach it.’

Friedrich’s lips were covered with a calm, yet vaguely vague smile.

‘A great mage-level wizard.’

In other words, the 9th circle called the limit of magic.

…… To the supreme state that exists beyond that.

Maybe we can reach it.

If it’s that boy, if it’s that boy’s talent.

In addition to that, if a girl of the level of a great mage who overwhelms him leads him in the right direction.

It’s not like it’s impossible.

To the Empire, to the Duke of Qliphort.

It is also the birth of the pinnacle of a new continent.

“Heh heh.”

Friedrich let out a pleasant laugh.

“Sir Edwald?”

And of course Duke Kesil, who couldn’t even guess the meaning of that laugh, just tilted his head.

“No, nothing.”

Friedrich gently shook his head and put a thin smile on his lips.
