After things calmed down a bit, we were all seated at the table.

Glance. Glance.
Looking at the eyes of Rosé and the princess, I could see that they were all looking at Raphael.
“what? Why is everyone looking at me like that?”
Perhaps unable to withstand the pressure of his gaze, Raphael spoke first.
Then Priscilla leaned over and spat out words.
“Raphael! You said you just confessed to Gregory. Can you tell me what happened between the two of you?”
… … was that what you were curious about?
Still, I was also curious, so I stayed silent.
“hmm? Priscilla. was that what you were curious about? It’s cute~”
Raphael started stroking Priscilla’s hair. Then Priscilla brushed her hair and shook her hands.
“Raphael! There are others too! I am not a child!”
“Oh, are you talking to me like that? Then I’m sad~”
The conversation between the two was as natural as ever.
“Did Raphael-sama and Priscilla have been together since long ago?”
Rosé asks while looking at the two of them. Raphael replied with a grin.
“Right, has it been about five years? I signed a contract around that time.”
It was judged that it was possible because she was in the position of becoming a princess.
No wonder the royals in this game have the highest ranking catalysts.
“Crying at night, angel, please save the injured Nyung-yi~ while praying like this—”
“Whoaaagh! stop! Nope—!”
Priscilla jumped up from her seat and blocked Raphael’s mouth. Her face was stained bright red.
“aaah——! Why are you bringing up the story now!”
Nyung Nyung?
It must have been an embarrassing story from my childhood.
“Enough of the small talk! Please answer quickly what I asked. yes?”
“So curious? It wouldn’t be a very interesting story… … . Right Gregory?”
no i don’t know
“Huh, seeing you so still, you must be thinking about the old days?”
no, i don’t know
“Nothing. That guy wrote some books a long time ago. Kafka.”
This was something I knew.
“But the book was a huge hit even in heaven. Because I couldn’t see it. But then, rumors spread that Kafka was holding a reading. Because of that, I secretly came out of the heavens and went to the demon realm… … .”

Gulp. Everyone focused and looked at Raphael.
There must be a reason for being so lazy.
“Just right there———”
“──The meal is ready. Princess. Can I come right away?”
“I’ll ask you~ Chief Chamberlain.”
“Yes, Raphael.”
A story that was suddenly cut off. Accordingly, the princess and Rose began to twist their bodies.
“Raphael!”
“So what? So how did it go?”
Ah, this look. I had read it in a book. Grandpa and the village kids who tell stories about their adventurer days.
The characters have only changed to angels, elves, and princesses, but their behavior is completely the same.
“Can we talk while eating? I also like Merlang Cow.”

Growl A voice came from Rosé’s stomach.
Surprised, Rose grabbed her stomach and looked at me, the princess, and Raphael. A red blush appeared on her cheeks.
“lol… … . Certainly, it would be nice to talk while eating as Raphael-sama said.”
Even Priscilla couldn’t do anything if Rosé had said this.
In the end, Priscilla let out a sigh and spoke to the chamberlain.
“Yes, please prepare.”
At Priscilla’s words, the chamberlain lightly clapped his hands. Then the maids lined up from the kitchen.
They brought carts loaded with food, removed the teacups in front of us, and put food on them.
“The dormitory may be the same size, but the atmosphere is different from our room.”
“Yes? Obviously, the kitchen is big for me, so it’s hard to cook alone… … .”
When the maids removed the lid from the plate, the smoked steak caught my eye.
It was definitely a very irritating smell.
“Ah, Mr. Gregory… … Isn’t the smell a joke? Even though it smells like cheese… … It smells like meat… … I think it smells like milk… … .”
sniff sniff.
Priscilla grinned when she saw Rosé sniffing and twitching her nose.
“yes that’s right! The characteristic of Merlange Cow is that you can feel the flavors of milk, cheese and meat at the same time. Now, let’s eat.”
It smells like your expression will be relaxed when you relax. With the power of [Attribute: Noble], he carefully started cutting his knife while maintaining his facial expression.
“… … It’s soft.”
“Yes?”
It was like cutting butter with a heated knife. How could the meat be this soft?
I cut it into bite-sized pieces and put it in my mouth.
“… … .”
[Attribute: Noble] is activated.
[Attribute: Noble] is activated.
[Attribute: Noble] is activated.
It was insanely delicious.
No, does it make sense for the meat to melt in your mouth? Is this meat?
The lightness of the meat, the softness of the milk, and the savory taste of the cheese.
This taste, in which the three flavors amplify each other, is truly the word Mimi (美味).
“Wow… … It’s very delicious.”
Rose, who had already loosened the corners of her eyes, covered her cheeks with both hands and was chewing on the mucky meat.
Is it that good? Even my ears are twitching.
“Well, it’s still delicious any time you eat it. So, shall we continue the story? Priscilla. How far have I been talking?”
“I sneaked out of the heavens and arrived at the demon realm. But it stopped there——.”
“As expected, Priscilla. Are you smart?”
“Hey, don’t stroke my hair?!”
Priscilla avoided Raphael’s approaching hand by pulling her body back. For some reason I felt that she was glancing at me.
“I am ashamed. Yeah, what about after that? what… … There was nothing wrong. I met Baal at that reading.”
“hmm?”
“Baal?”
“Is that Baal?!”
To the unexpected appearance of the name. I made a sound without even realizing it. Thanks to that, Raphael started looking at me strangely.
“what? That response.”
“… … what are you talking about. I was just amazed at how delicious the meat was.”
“… … okay? Well, to continue, as soon as he saw me as an archangel in the Demon World, that fighting maniac started a fight with me.”
A fight between an archangel and the number one demon. It was a fight that was never going to end easily.
“But that bastard was strong? I was about to fall behind The wings are on the verge of breaking, and the right arm is blown off. Oh, of course I didn’t get hit. I also brought his left arm and one wing.”
Nevertheless, it is said that the war situation favored Baal.
It is said that at the end of the fight, Baal approached Raphael, who had fallen slowly.
Slowly, very slowly, with a terrible smile.
“But then!”
bang! Raphael hit the table and looked at me with a grin.
“This guy showed up. Gregory Jones. Are you surprised? It was as if Kafka, a popular writer, had interfered with Baal.”
Appearing there, I walked between the two and said that I had glared at Baal.
‘Why are you interfering in my fight? Gregory Jones.’
Baal made a very unpleasant expression at the sudden intrusion.
It is said that there I spoke to Baal in a blunt voice.
“The recital was ruined thanks to you, so take responsibility… … ! I mean. And then I realized ah! The Kafka I liked is actually a demon named Gregory Jones! do.”
After saying that, Raphael smiled and looked around us.
“Isn’t it funny? You were watching when Baal and I were fighting, but you didn’t come until the end. Do you know what Baal said when he saw that?”
Baal asked me with a puzzled expression.
‘You’re interfering with my fight for that reason? Don’t give a f*ck. Gregory Jones. You’re not interfering with my fight for that reason, are you?’
“At that time, what this guy said was true.”
Jump up. Raphael stood up from his seat, turned his head and spoke in a blunt voice.
“right. I’m content just to f*ck you up. Baal. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! how is it? Awesome, right? right?”
Raphael giggled as he recalled the memory of that time and sat down.
Did I really say that to Baal?
Apparently, before I came into this body, Gregory Jones was not normal.
Can you do that unless you are a personality destroyer?
“hmm?”
I suddenly looked around and realized that Priscilla and Rosé’s eyes were focused on me.
It was something, a look of respect.
“Awesome… … . To say such a thing to that Baalzebub… … . As expected, Gregory-sama is different.”
If there is a guy who raises me to the fullest.
“Wow… … wow… … Oh wow… … and… … wow… … … .”
There was also an idiot elf who was just admiring.
“A guy stands in front of me and says that kind of line, can I not fall for him? I’m completely blown away In the end, Baal gave up and went back, and as soon as he got up holding his outstretched hand, he made a confession right away. Well, and as I just said——”
“──It was dumped on me.”
“that’s right. it was tea do you really have to say that Something feels strange.”
After hearing the story, I began to understand.
The next thing Raphael told me was obvious.
After that, we ran into each other a few times, and I joked around and showed my liking, but Gregory was just blunt. It was the same things.
“──This is the end of the story. how is it? Is there anything wrong?”
By the time Raphael finished talking, the food had disappeared from the plates in front of each of them.
Priscilla elegantly wiped her lips with a napkin on the table.
After writing on her mouth with tea, she opened her mouth.
“Definitely, it was a very interesting story. But why didn’t you tell me this until now?”
Priscilla had been with Raphael for a long time. Even so, he seemed to be disappointed that he had never heard of such a story.
“hmm? yeah… … . It’s embarrassing. It’s not a story of a successful confession, it’s a story of being dumped… … . I just said it because it’s nothing right now.”
Raphael’s cheeks looked reddish as he said that, but it was natural right after he ate.
“I think Raphael is really good at telling stories. Did you hear it without even knowing the time was passing?”
Rosé exhaled with a whooping sound and said that while stroking her stomach. Then Raphael scratched his head as if embarrassed.
“is it? I had to hear that I was good at talking from before.”
“The meal is over, and the talk seems to be over to some extent, so let’s go back now.”
I lightly wiped my mouth with a napkin and stood up naturally.
It was because I ate delicious food and was full, so I felt the urge to rest quickly.
“ah… . is that so.”
Priscilla lowered her head and stood up at the same time. It seemed that he was trying to see me off.
“My crush is going, but can’t I just sit there? For sure… … Did you say next door?”
Even Raphael got up from his seat and asked that question, and Rosé also stood up and said,
“yes that’s right. It’s right next door. I want to smoke quickly, and you don’t have to come to pick me up!”
“Well, you don’t have to go far.”
As we were about to wrap up the table, the chief chamberlain, who was standing near the kitchen, walked up and asked us.
“We have ice cream and cake for dessert, but… … . Are you leaving already?”
“cake?! Gregory! Shall we just eat this?”
… … Who can look into those eyes and say no.
“… … I will.”
Does snacking even overcome the craving for smoking? When I sat down thinking that.
For some reason, I felt as if I had seen two people with expressions of relief.
