Episode 37
An uncomfortable silence hung between the two of us.

Neither he nor I thought we were roommates.
It was me who broke the silence first.
that buck
that buck
I couldn’t stand in front of the door all the time, so I moved into the room.
At this, Samuel’s shoulders subtly trembled.
“… … .”
However, Samuel was only killing himself and did not attack me.
In Saitan, it was a rule that strictly prohibited cadets from fighting each other unless it was a legitimate sparring.
Also, the thought that he did not want to ruin the space where he could take a break with a fight must have played a role.
So I decided to ignore Samuel and take a look inside the dormitory.
‘The facilities aren’t bad.’
simple evaluation.
There was a toilet next to the entrance.
There was a shower facility using tap water with a combination of modern devices and something magical, and it was well cleaned and looked clean.
A more important place to live… … .
Two beds placed side by side.
Behind it was a desk, chair, and closet with clothes.
‘I don’t think I’ll be studying at the dormitory anyway.’
Desks and chairs are not needed.
It’s not a good choice to stay in the dormitory without studying in the library where all the knowledge of the demon realm is recorded.
The bed looked quite soft, and a satisfied smile was painted on his lips.
In fact, with her current body condition, she seems to be able to sleep soundly even if she falls face down on the ground… … .
Well, good is good.

Next, let’s look at the closet.
Kik-.
When I opened the closet door, I saw several neatly arranged white shirts, socks and underwear.
provided by Saitan.
‘I don’t think I need to buy clothes separately.’
The quality and condition of the clothes didn’t seem bad either.
Buying clothes would be a small expense, but it was good because the money was solid.
Suk.
I took off the coat I was wearing and hung it on a hanger.
He took off his shirt and changed into white underwear.
But I didn’t take out the information paper and the necklace.
Because these two must have been worn on my body.
If it gets stolen… … .
‘Just imagining it is terrifying.’
Goose bumps running down your spine.
After all, it seems to be safe to have these two in person.
It would be better to carry a dagger as well.
because.
“…… .”
Samuel’s stinging gaze seldom moved away from me.
under.
He let out a short sigh.
I don’t know why he is doing this to me.
Is there any other reason besides an argument?
Eventually, the limit of patience reached.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“… … !”
Maybe he didn’t expect me to speak first, but Samuel’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
anger.
And it wasn’t long before Samuel, his ears burning red, turned his head and lay on his side.
… … unpredictable guy.
‘I have to do my own thing too.’
When Samuel’s stinging eyes disappear, I feel much more at ease.
I wanted to sleep like him, but there was still work to be done.
Demon God, make your servant aware of the flow of chaos.
Give us a just trial, and let the ten thousand horses not starve.
However, on the test… … … .
Boo-.
He memorizes Baares’ mana decision and uses mana roughly.
Thick mana began to flow wildly through the heart.
At the same time, the three strokes engraved on the wrist tremble slightly.
Activate your senses to take in the remaining mana in the air.
Thirty minutes passed like that.
“It’s over… … .”
He let out a heavy breath and inhaled deeply through his lungs.
The total amount of mana did not seem to have increased much.
I didn’t even have to check the status window.
At most, it would have increased only by a very small amount.
‘Still, I’ll have to do it consistently whenever the time comes.’
Did you say that it is Taesan by gathering dust?
There are cases in which those who have no talent or who have a low level of mana simbeop do not increase at all.
So, I’m a nobleman.
‘But I feel the need to consume the elixir.’
Instead of an elixir that increases the total amount of mana, you need an elixir that makes mana management much easier.
The more I develop the mana mental method of the Baarez family, the more I feel it.
From the beginning, Barares’ mental method did not suit my body.
It wasn’t a story about a drop in the level of mental law.
Literally unsuitable for my body.
‘Because it’s not my family’s way of thinking.’
Because it’s not the Asen family’s mental method.
couldn’t handle it properly.
It was to the point where it would be impossible to even memorize the precepts if the Demon God hadn’t helped him directly.
Even so, it was better than learning other simbeop.
As it is the unique mental method of the Seven Deadly Sins family, even if it does not suit the body, it belongs to the better side than the other family’s mental method.
So, it was better to find an elixir that helps mana management than to learn another simbeop.
‘I’m going to have to attack the unexplored region soon.’
At this point, there were many unexplored regions in the demon realm that the protagonists and the others would rob in the future.
You will have to target one of them and attack it.
Of course, it is impossible to attack right now.
You can’t go out of Saitan unless it’s vacation, so let’s promise the following.
“Grunt.”
I stretched my shoulders all the way up.
I closed my eyes and lay down on the bed with the fatigue getting worse.

The next day came.
Dang dang-.
The ringing of the weather bell in my ears.
He rubbed the corners of his eyes, which could hardly be separated, and stood up.
tweet.
The chirping of birds from the window.
When I turned my head, I saw a small sparrow-like bird sitting on a branch by the window.
I looked at the cute and small-looking bird with eyes filled with subtle emotions.
‘… … There’s no way there could be life on Saitan other than the cadets.’
that’s not a bird
Saitan was afraid of humans’ tricks, so he didn’t even allow an ant to enter.
But there was a bird… … .
A cadet with even a little bit of keen eye would have noticed the incongruity.
I ate and laughed.
‘Someone cheated.’
Who is the true identity of the character?
The prime suspect is Ares.
Samuel, who must be most wary of me, is now sleeping next to me… … what?
However, Samuel was nowhere to be seen.
Suk.
I felt lukewarm warmth when I put my hand on Samuel’s blanket.
He probably went down to the dormitory cafeteria to have breakfast.
Isn’t the name of the family of gluttony?
Must have an abundance of food.
anyway.
‘If the culprit is Samuel, there’s no need for such tricks.’
I could have watched from the side, but I didn’t have to go through all this trouble.
From nob le mt l dot com
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no human other than Ares who could do such a trick.
Tsk.
I clicked my tongue slightly.
Did you think you wouldn’t hear?
It’s ridiculous.
He underestimated me too much.
‘hmm.’
I looked at the bird once and had a good idea.
What if I tamed that bird?
It can be used in various fields.
I don’t know if it will work or not, but it seemed worth a try.
He immediately opened the window and took out a small candy from his pocket.
Snacks I bought while touring the capital with Rene.
There was something to check before sticking it out.
Boo-.
Mana was used to quickly scan the bird’s body.
It was certain that it was connected to something magical, but it was not an illusion made of mana.
meaning a creature.
Fast-.
After confirming that it was not inanimate, he crushed the candy into small powders.
The perfect size for a bird to eat.
He piled up a handful of chestnuts in the center of his palm and held them out to him.
The bird tilted its head and then began to peck at the candy crumbs with its beak.
I ate them all in no time, probably liking the sweet taste.
But can you feed sugar to birds?
‘relation… … Probably not.’
It’s not a bird from the human world, but a bird from the devil world, so it shouldn’t matter.
… … Let’s think so.
Food Duck-.
After eating all the candy, the bird spread its wings and returned to the branch again.
Then it just stares at me without moving.
It was a kind of boundary.
‘It’s too much to tame right now.’
I tasted it.
After all, it was not possible to lure him out with just one feeding.
If that’s the case, you’ve just wasted precious candy.
“Tsk.”
I’m sorry, but I turned around.
If Ares takes his guard away from me, the birds won’t come looking for me any more.
Don’t worry, I’m going to eat rice.
I changed into my school uniform and was about to leave the dormitory, but I felt a question and stopped walking.
where was the restaurant
“… … .”
A feeling of being suddenly suffocated.
It seemed like he was having a hard time finding his way.
* * *
1 hour before.
Samuel had already opened his eyes.
“… … .”
Samuel looks down at Adele, who is soundly asleep.
In an instant, Samuel’s eyes were filled with life.
However, Samuel soon regained his momentum and got up.
Although Adele had offended him at every turn, Samuel wasn’t stupid enough to risk killing a cadet on Sitan.
And I didn’t even feel a reason to kill, and the most important reason was… … .
‘hungry.’
For in the morning Adele was taken aback by Samuel’s hunger.
growl
A ship that roars and roars.
Samuel bit his lower lip in irritation.
It was a tyranny fueled by gluttony.
The bitter pain that comes when you don’t eat something for a certain period of time.
The depth of the pain was not a level that a mere cadet could endure.
Samuel often reacted sensitively because he had to put a lot of effort into suppressing the pain.
The reason I fought with Adele was because of this.
While fighting the excruciating pain of starvation, a guy who starts a fight with bad eyes and an accent.
It was not a situation in which Samuel could react calmly.
‘I won’t apologize though’
Samuel glared at Adele.
If Adele hadn’t said ‘that comment’, she might have apologized.
However, once Adele has said that, it is safe to say that her relationship with Samuel is irreparable.
‘To insult our family… … .’
Should I say I’m not afraid?
Or should I say rude?
In the meantime, Adele’s innocent appearance comes into Samuel’s field of vision.
He was exhausted and fast asleep.
“Looking at it this way, he just looks stupid.”
An insignificant half demon.
The evaluation I made when I first saw Adele.
However, the momentum that Adele showed was not the kind that a mediocre guy could display.
That’s when Samuel was staring at Adele.
Awesome-.
‘What is it all of a sudden?’
Samuel’s expression hardened.
Why?
As I looked at Adele, the pain that seemed to tighten my heart hit me.
Different from the pain of hunger, the kind of pain I’ve experienced before.
“… … .”
Samuel, who couldn’t remember the reason for a while, turned around and walked to the dormitory cafeteria.
Samuel had to move quickly because he was going to eat at least six plates of meat for breakfast.
Because it was something that might be deprived of daily bread by other competitors.
