Chapter 70: Threat
The Demon King’s army is a good place. Why is it a good place, you ask? Because when you win in a fight, any of your selfish requests will be fulfilled. The living environment leaves a lot to be desired, but you can get used to living anywhere.
I also like that I can get combat experience by fighting various demi-humans. Demi-humans come in different forms and shapes, each with their own characteristics. Some of them can even use swords, and above all, the rule that forbids killing is just a cherry on top. Now, if only Senri was also here, things would be just perfect.
A quiet knock comes from the lid. My time, the night, has arrived. I slowly rise up, use my strength and slide away the heavy lid. What enters in my sight is Monica’s face illuminated by the moonlight
“Good morning, Lord End. Have you slept well?”
“Yeah, thanks. I feel really good, Monica.”
I raise my torso in the black coffin that can be closed airtight and stretch grandly.
This coffin was prepared by Monica. I did have prior knowledge about this, but apparently vampires really sleep in coffins. This feels like a black joke for somebody like me who has already died once before, but it seems like sleeping in the coffin has its purpose too, as I’m feeling better than ever. I somehow feel very calm. I haven’t slept because I’m in enemy territory, but this might be the second best feeling after sucking blood. I wish I had a portable coffin. “Have you improved the environment?”
“Y-yes. The location being what it is, I cannot immediately make it perfect, but I have done as you have willed…” Monica cast her eyes down and said in a small voice. My request concerned the improvement of the prison environment. There is no way delicious blood can be produced in a dirty environment without any proper meals. I doubt that at this point improving the environment can help produce the same quality blood as Senri’s, but if I’m kind to the prisoners, Senri might let me suck her blood later in a delicious way, so it’s all fine.
“However, some visitors have come regarding that matter… 15 of them.”
