To signal him to stop making strange noises and speak quickly, Clara gently squished the little one’s small, moist nose with his fingertip. The little one sneezed and coughed, perhaps because the saliva that had smeared on Clara’s fingertip tickled his nose.e0cc839e3fcd79ea

Clara, unknowingly addicted to 16427e8176 the strangely moist and c24ccf93c4 soft sensation, continued to 26a97934c7 press with his fingertip 5370f25f5d while using simple magic 098b4c60c7 to rummage through a 82d48e5ff2 small cold storage and 02c5c9ef1a took out a radish.671453467e6787fc

Though he wasn’t good at using it, and his fingers and circles were a mess after being broken once, it was handy at times like this. A radish, covered in soil and wrapped in crumpled thin paper, floated up to the cutting board.44829ed9bd3a56b1

The demon, even while in Clara’s arms, skillfully held the radish with his front paws and stood on his hind legs. Though it seemed like a quadruped, it could also walk on two legs? It seemed certain that it used its front paws like hands. Clara’s eyes briefly flickered with curiosity, but Ravid, unaware, was busy munching on the sweet and refreshing vegetable.f51e1038c7d41f36

Ravid, unlike a demon of his age with a voracious appetite, hesitated and looked up at the sticky honey-covered radish piece that had fallen into the human’s arms. It wasn’t because he had a sense of hygiene but because he felt sorry. Clothes were precious.54a9f49e90b4421a

As if about to say “delicious,” his mouth opened wide, then quickly closed when he saw Clara. But the clear syllables slipped out between the air escaping over his tongue. Clara pressed the little lizard’s nose once more and gently stroked it. The soft, wrinkled, rough texture wasn’t bad. Somehow, it seemed addictive.7fe64ff17d8886a7

Ravid, naturally eca182c72a flaring up 702bd291c1 at the 7c8b986e2a attitude, proudly ee02e41e7c straightened his b82c836268 back and 14b5d30b39 raised his 75fc5bd144 front paw, 426c007f55 recalling the 8862a09173 formal education de2905a3dc he had 26f67ff13a never missed.3c7ddcfccbcf4c54

Jam was smeared all over the child’s black mouth. Since it had solidified overnight, the jam that flew stuck here and there, leaving traces on his upper and lower lips, even his chin, chest, and around his fur.a6f2477b7af9962f

To be precise, what Ravid used wasn’t magic but an innate ability that every demon was born with. In the underground, only the sea witch could use magic through the manifestation of intricate formulas, and demons, who had a natural talent for handling mana and used mana as their staple, were too busy eating to learn magic.20f2ac6185d2f0f6

The knowledge remained with Lilith or the sea witch, so if he learned, he could quickly acquire it, but… He thought he’d rather make one more mud cookie than learn something useless. If he had known he would come to the surface, he would have learned!501e54268a43ed5f
