"Why isn't the capture level written on it?" Lord Shesi asked, puzzled.
"What is it! Quickly, get out of the way, Lord Shesi!" Asmodeus pulled the thinking Lord Shesi away, and at the exact moment he pulled him, a pig's trotter… no, a tomato foot, landed right where Lord Shesi had been standing.
"Never mind that, then next…" Lord Shesi was about to summon his ink when he saw Konchie and Keebo get tangled up in the kelp whiskers of a Shabu-Shabu Pot.
"Keebo! Konchie! Damn it, [Spirit]!" Seeing this, Lord Shesi immediately used a spell to accelerate his body, transforming into his demon form and kicking the Shabu-Shabu Pot's face askew, almost causing Konchie and Keebo to be eaten.
Asmodeus seized the opportunity, transforming fire into a sword and slicing through the kelp.
Clara, meanwhile, caught both of them.
"So fragrant~" Lord Shesi couldn't help but retort, looking at their dazed expressions.
"Oh no, they've become precious beast sushi…"
"This is no time for jokes, Lord Shesi!" Asmodeus warned, looking at the Shabu-Shabu Pot, which had recovered and was preparing to charge.
"So, shall we fight?" Lord Shesi asked Asmodeus.
Asmodeus fell silent, remembering his reckless behavior at the park.
"No, we should retreat for now," Asmodeus suggested.
Lord Shesi's lips curled into a smile upon hearing this, and he patted Asmodeus's shoulder lightly.
"You've made progress, as expected. Let's retreat then."
"Yes, summon the Gorgon Snake!" Asmodeus summoned the Gorgon Snake, which coiled around the collected food and then dragged the group away to retreat.
"Oh no!" Lord Shesi suddenly saw the Shabu-Shabu Pot throw something over and immediately kicked it, sending a giant frying pan flying with a bang.
"Seriously, it has 'pot' in its name, and it actually has a pot!" Lord Shesi hopped back onto the Gorgon Snake, limping.
"Are you alright, big brother!" Iruma-kun asked, concerned, quickly stepping forward to help him.
"Uh… maybe a little. After all, I'm not Sanji; I don't have an iron leg. That thing still hurt quite a bit," Lord Shesi said, looking at his foot.
"Mom's here!" Just then, the group suddenly saw Clara's Mother descend from the sky and knock out the Shabu-Shabu Pot with a single punch.
"…Incredible…" Lord Shesi, Iruma-kun, and Asmodeus all watched in shock.
"One punch, huh…"
Lord Shesi's usual sarcastic remark.
"Clara's Mother is cosplaying One-Punch Man."
That evening, at Clara's house, in front of the dining table.
"You two actually dared to peek!" Lord Shesi grabbed Konchie and Keebo's heads and gave them a good roughing up. While he was bathing, those two actually opened the bathroom window from outside to peek. Luckily, Iruma-kun hadn't gone with Asmodeus to record how to cook the ultimate ingredients at that time, which saved his reputation.
"K-Komenasai!" Both of them quickly begged for mercy, with Lord Shesi pressing his fingers against their temples.
"It's just that… this is edible," Konchie said, looking at Iruma-kun, who was devouring his food.
"Indeed."
"After all, Mom's cooking is delicious," Lord Shesi said, looking at his own achievements, having eaten two or three more bowls than usual.
"Heh heh, of course! Mom's cooking is the best in the world!" Keebo and Konchie said proudly.
"Is that so~ Haha," Lord Shesi also laughed… though his expression seemed a little dim.
That evening, Lord Shesi, Asmodeus, and Iruma-kun were arranged to sleep in Clara's room.
"Ah, Asmodeus, the collar of your pajamas," Iruma-kun said, looking at the bow on Asmodeus's collar.
"That's right! A bow just like Iruma-kun's!" Asmodeus said proudly.
"Clara's…" Lord Shesi looked at Clara's pajamas.
"Clara, you really don't have to copy me… Change back quickly!" Lord Shesi shouted. Lord Shesi's pajamas were relatively mature and sexy, and because he liked a relaxed feeling, the buttons on the collar of his pajamas were undone. Seeing this, Clara actually tried to imitate him but was quickly stopped.
"Magic pillow fight!" Clara buttoned up her pajamas and then said carelessly.
"Who wants to play that!" Asmodeus retorted.
"Are you tired?" Clara asked, looking at Asmodeus, puzzled.
"Of course! Today was very busy!" Asmodeus said.
"I can't help you with that. Come here, I'll perform my secret [Sleeping Ritual] for you."
Iruma-kun was puzzled. "Ritual?"
Clara patted her lap.
"Come, lie down."
Asmodeus was about to say something when Clara pulled him down to lie on her lap.
Lord Shesi immediately started counting.
1, 2, 3.
He fell asleep in three seconds!
Looking at the sleeping Asmodeus.
"Then next is Iruma-kun," Clara said, patting the other side.
"Ah… this…" Iruma-kun looked at Lord Shesi with difficulty, then at Clara.
"Go on, you might even dream of your mother," Lord Shesi said playfully.
"Eh?"
Iruma-kun lay down and took 5 seconds longer than Asmodeus to fall asleep.
"Shesi-kun, would you like to?" Clara asked, looking at Lord Shesi.
"Of course, thank you, Clara."
"No problem! Hehe!" Clara said with a smile, and then Lord Shesi also lay down between Iruma-kun and Asmodeus. As Clara's voice continued, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
"Owls and seagulls sleeping on the treetops~ Mice and lizards sleeping in the grass~
Big moles and silkworms sleeping in the soil~ The moon also closes its eyes~"
Upon hearing this, Lord Shesi didn't count how long he could last but smiled and silently said in his heart,
"Goodnight, Clara."
Lord Shesi, Iruma-kun, and Asmodeus all slept wonderfully that night. After this sleep, Lord Shesi was no longer anxious about his ambitions, Iruma-kun relaxed his tense nerves from Walter Park, and Asmodeus also… but it's worth mentioning that Lord Shesi dreamed of his mother, not his mother in this life, but his mother from his previous life. In his memories, his mother also used to let him rest his head on her, then patted him to sleep. He always woke up feeling refreshed back then.
The next day, the group woke up very early, perhaps because they had slept so well. After waking up, they happened to meet the others who were also getting up. After washing up, Clara's Mother gathered everyone.
"Now! Let's dig hard! No work, no food, you know~ Breakfast must be harvested by yourselves!"
Iruma-kun looked at Clara, puzzled.
"Um, what kind of person is Clara?" Iruma-kun asked, looking at a portrait of Clara (a hand-drawn version).
"Oh, that, Little Clara, she's just…" Before Clara could introduce herself, Konchie cut in.
"She gets angry at the drop of a hat, so annoying!"
Immediately after, Keebo also said,
"All she knows is studying, so weird!"
Iruma-kun and Asmodeus fell into contemplation.
"Even these brothers find her annoying and strange…" Asmodeus and Iruma-kun broke out in a sweat.
"She must be unusually eccentric."
"S-So scary-looking."
Clara's reputation was severely damaged.
Clara, who was still in school, had no idea that this was the first time in history she had been so terribly slandered, while Lord Shesi, who knew the truth, was beside them.
"The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. Amen~" Lord Shesi clasped his hands together.
