Florin got here, carrying a lifeless rooster in her hand. Blood was nonetheless dripping from its corpse and littered on the ground whereas she smiled on the others.

“This may solely take thirty minutes,” she stated. “Do stick with it together with your dialog, and do not thoughts me.”

Approach to go in making issues awkward. I did not know if I used to be simply assuming issues, however I feel she did not like our visitors.

<Who would? They search shelter and wish to take all the pieces however provide no compensation in return. They demand meals however don’t even provide any assist. They had been visitors in one other’s residence, however they acted just like the lords and girls of the home. They’re actually evil! That is what you need to aspire to be, Host!>

I am not listening to you.

We tried to talk like regular, however the sound of the knife in opposition to the chopping board was so loud that it did not actually match as a background sound for an informal dialog.

I did not know what Florin was doing within the kitchen, however it gave the impression of she was butchering somebody — effectively, it would not be me for positive. Any thought about harming me would trigger her head to blow up. Because of the Evil Accent.

Was she imagining chopping the visitors?

<Looks like it.>

I in all probability wanted to have a one-on-one dialog along with her later.

“Uhm . . . I feel I will assist Florin for a minute.” I excused myself and went to the kitchen.

Florin was stuffing herbs and spices contained in the rooster and putting it on the grills.

There was at the least a 3 meter distance between the desk and the kitchen space, so the others in all probability would not be capable of hear our dialog.

I pulled the 2 remaining fish from the salt cave and went to Florin.

“Straightforward on the chopping board, Florin. You are scaring our visitors,” I advised her as I cleaned the fish.

Florin peeked at me beneath her lashes with a smile nonetheless plastered on her face. “The chickens listed below are slightly huge, and their bones are more durable than our common rooster again residence. So I would like to make use of a bit of drive, My Lord.”

“Is that proper?”

Florin nodded and beamed. “Sure!”

“By the best way, you have been cooking since some time in the past. Getting ready dishes for eight folks will not be a simple feat. Why do not you sit with the others, and I will take over from right here? You must get to know them. They’re enjoyable to talk with.”

“I do not want pointless chatter to remind me of my life again on earth,” she advised me, and I noticed anger crossing her eyes.

“I like this world higher.”

“I-is that so? However do not you miss different people? Do not you wish to make pals with Sheryl? I feel she’s near your age.”

Florin’s smile turned even wider, eyes turning crescent as she confronted me. It sort of scared me, and I virtually minimize my hand with the knife after I shuddered due to it.

“My Lord is all of the human I would like.”

Augh . . . Why was she so clingy to me once more?

<As a result of the 2 of you might be Evil.>

I used to be fairly positive that was not the explanation.

I needed her to get nearer to our visitors to scale back the tense environment between them. At this charge, I feel that might take some time.

<The System thinks that might by no means occur. Wanna guess on it~?>

NO!

“By the best way, My Lord,” Florin began, holding an enormous knife in her hand and I backed away a bit of.

“How lengthy are they gonna keep right here?” she requested.

“. . . I . . . I have never considered that, truly. I did not get the prospect to ask them.”

Florin’s smile lessened.

“So what can we do?” she requested. “We will not allow them to keep right here endlessly.”

I opened my mouth however closed it once more.

“Do not inform Florin that . . . My Lord is planning on letting them keep right here endlessly?” her squinted eyes peered proper via me, and I appeared away.

“I-I will ask them later about their plans.”

“Florin thinks that they are going to insist on staying to leech right here. If that is the case, then they need to work for his or her hire, like what Florin is doing.”

Might or not it’s . . . she was indignant that I handled the others like visitors whereas she labored her ass off to remain right here?

Effectively, now that I consider it, it was sort of unfair to her.

One thing tugged at my coronary heart, and I patted her head. “No worries. I will discuss to them, and if by any likelihood they’re planning to remain right here, then they’d additionally work.”

Florin’s expression did not change one bit. “You must allow them to catch fish within the river and a few beast within the forest to eat.”

“Augh . . .” With Blood Rain, I had doubts about them agreeing to exit. Brago may agree, however I could not say the identical in regards to the others. “I will . . . I will ask them.”

“You higher, my Lord. Florin would not need extra mouths to feed right here.” She snatched the fish in my hand and chopped its head off with

a loud thump, making me leap on my toes.

Who was the Lord once more on this home?

“So, what do you guys suppose?” Sheryl whispered.

“Cross is such a pricey,” Megu answered and tickled her child, who crammed the realm along with her giggles.

“I do not find out about Florin, although.” Emi crossed her hand and took a peek on the lady and Cross’s again. “Her smile and unblinking eyes give me the creeps.”

“She’s cute, although,” Ford countered however shut his lips tight when Emi threw him a pointed glare.

“And we will not keep right here endlessly,” Brago stated.

They gaped at him.

“Why not? This place is heaven! There’s free meals and shelter,” Edgar complained and stubbornly stated, “If you wish to go, GO. I will keep right here.”

Brago frowned. “And be what? A leech?”

Edgar growled, “What did you say?”

“We do not know Cross that effectively,” stated Brago. “What if he isn’t what we expect he’s? And Florin was transported right here for much longer than we did. She’s stronger than us.”

“There’s six of us and solely two of them,” Sheryl advised him.

Brago confronted her earlier than replying, “And what makes you suppose that there is solely two of them right here? For all we all know, there is perhaps numerous them right here.”
