Chapter 54: Blake’s Curiousity
“Vera! I fried so bird wings and made sweet and salty sauce to go with it, co here before I ate them all if you want it!” Blake shouted loud enough in front of the basent door.
Blake stood still in front of the door and lifted up five of his fingers.
‘5’ He said in his head while keeping his five fingers standing.
‘4’ He said while putting down one of the fingers.
‘3’ He said, putting down another one.
‘2’ Another one goes down.
‘1’
.....
‘0’ And now all five of his fingers were folded in his palms
‘Any second now...’ Blake thought while still looking at the wooden door in front of him.
Blake waited for another second, but there was still nothing happening.
‘Oh? Am I wrong this tim-‘
Just as Blake thought that he had miscalculated, the basent door opened up wide and a drop-dead gorgeous demoness ca out of it.
Her red hair flowed down to her back, and although a bit ssy as if it had never been combed for so ti, it sohow still looked as smooth as silk despite the few strains of hair coming out here and there.
Two bat-like wings were neatly folded on her back so that she could walk around inside the house without hitting everything around her with them.
And the clothes she was wearing were the usual two-piece dress that Blake couldn’t figure out whether it looked comfortable or not to wear. Not that he minded too much about it since the demoness basically only wore that one clothes from the very first day and had never changed clothes.
Not that he changed clothes himself ever since Vera borrowed him one of her clothes that suited for a male humanoid demon since the clothes seed to have the ability to stay clean even if his skin was sared with dirt.
And added with the fact that Vera looked incredibly stunning with her clothes, Blake really didn’t have much to say about it and just enjoyed the beautiful sight that had co into his eyes.
“Do you want to eat right away or is there sothing you want to do first?” Blake asked after taking a full second to appreciate the view.
“Eat, of course.” Vera instantly replied after Blake closed his mouth.
“You haven’t cooked anything for the past three days.” She continued while staring intently at Blake’s eyes.
“Well... I did so hunting for the past few days and I get quite a lot from it.” Blake replied as he opened up his arms and circulate the nether from his heart all over his body as if telling her to see his progress for herself.
Vera stared at the humanoid demon in front of her for a split second. And she felt yet another significant increase in the quality of nether in his body as it beca purer and even denser than before.
Her pupils dilated for a second as she was quite shocked by the fast progress of the humanoid demon in front of her.
But she quickly stopped the surprised reaction from ever spreading from her eyes, and succeeded in making it as if she wasn’t the slightest bit affected by his progress that had surpassed hers in speed by several tis over.
“Oh? I see you’ve grown quite a lot. It really won’t be too long for you to evolve soon if you keep this up.” Were all the words that ca out of her mouth despite her earlier shock.
‘How long had he been here again? A few weeks? A month? One and a half months at most.’
‘To reach this far in only a month is unthinkable...’ Vera thought to herself.
Just as she said, if Blake was really capable of progressing this fast, Vera thought that it would really be possible for Blake to evolve in 4 more months.
Which was unthinkable and simply didn’t make sense to her.
‘5 months from using his first ever nether to evolving for the first ti...’ She thought while she kept her eyes on Blake, which made the latter slightly nervous after being stared at for so long.
But who could bla her? She had tried her best to act nonchalantly about Blake’s progress.
But thinking the fact that average demons took about a decade to evolve for the first ti and the demon in front of her only needed about 3 months was simply irrational.
“Vera? Is there sothing on my face?” Blake asked with a genuinely confused look on his face.
Blake’s question then snapped her out of her thoughts and she shook her head, “No, there’s nothing. I am just wondering why are you waiting for right in front of the door.”
“Ah! About that! I just want to show off my progress to you, nothing else.” Blake replied with a smile on his face.
But Vera felt sothing was off from Blake’s face and hence asked, “Really?”
Blake instantly replied, “Yep! For real, nothing else.” He said with an even brighter smile as if trying to hide his real thoughts.
Vera still felt sothing unusual with Blake, but she ignored it and just asked Blake where the food was before going there after Blake told her.
After Vera walked past him, Blake heaved a sigh with a slightly worried look on his face.
“Almost got caught there... Her instinct is really sharp.” Blake muttered under his breath after Vera had gone into the other section of the room.
The reason why Blake stood in front of the door was really that he wanted to show her how much progress he had made so far since he had been gone from ho for a couple of days straight and only coming back once or twice in a whole week.
And Blake didn’t even et Vera since she was busy in her basent, not coming out of there unless he cooked sothing for her.
Hence why the second reason for him to stand still and count with his fingers in front of the door.
He had a theory about her. He could just ask her about it right on her face.
But rembering how girls act, well, at least from the information that he read on the internet, online communities, and social dia platforms, he didn’t think that it would be proper for him to ask her straight.
And that was because his theory was that Vera was a bonafide glutton. Or to put in a layman’s and much more polite term, she likes to eat very much.
The signs were clearly obvious. Starting from the portion that she was capable of eating, which was several tis the amount that Blake could ever fit in his mouth.
Just say that the amount of food Vera could eat in one sitting was the sa amount that Blake was capable of eating in seven sittings, and that was if he eat until he was full every ti.
And other than the portion that she ate, the quick response that she gave every ti he told her there was food on the table, especially the food with the combination sauces that he made, was considered instantaneous compared to other cases where he knocked on the basent door and only gotten an answer after half a minute or didn’t even get a response at all.
Now that he was a demon himself, Blake knew that he rarely needs to eat real food since eating souls would also give him the sense of sothing filling and energizing his body.
And with each level up, Blake could feel that he need to consu less and less food as his body rarely felt hungry.
Eating the occasional food that he cooked himself was only a way for him to ease his ntal stress as the food itself worked as a literal comfort food to comfort his mind and rarely that he actually felt that hungry to begin with.
But the fact that Vera, who supposedly ca from a deeper demon realm and was uncountably much stronger than him, never misses a single al that he ever cooked ever since coming to the demon realm, raised a question in his mind.
‘Did she like to eat very much because she stayed cooped up in the basent all the ti doing her experints and needed to ease her ntal burden by eating? Or does she likes to eat in general? Or is it because of sothing else?’ Blake pondered as he started making his way to the dining table.
‘Ah, whatever, it’s not like it ans anything that she likes to eat more than the others.’ Blake shrugged as he dumped his theory about Vera being a glutton to the back of his mind as he saw she was already on her second plate of fried bird at.
“Leave so for please!” He said while hurrying his steps onto the large wooden table.
