Clara, who unknowingly 69a3e8490f smiled at the 9886412415 squirming, moist sensation 42890a7bd9 of the little 3d1670a6fe tongue, decided to 4e33ee804c hold the little 0d57d24216 one and head 0f1800d5a7 to the kitchen.65a114fd3c6df03c

The little one had 35a8b5b8c1 caused all sorts of aefaff6259 trouble, leaving no time 85a507107e for idle thoughts. First, he needed 03643bbc86 to check the 4e749dd625 wounds.b5df83c9f737949d

He thought there wouldn’t be much blood because it was small, but no. It bled all night, and he had to use several towels. He was so worried it might die that he couldn’t sleep a wink.84623fd0806ba044

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.b8af667437353bd6

Clara, unknowingly addicted to 0877578ced the strangely moist and 4a23e06695 soft sensation, continued to a5c5f7b740 press with his fingertip c4635ec060 while using simple magic e1c2dddc2f to rummage through a e332c11a52 small cold storage and c21f28110c took out a radish.24688fc1cedbb8ec

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.b04dcc423e11d6ba

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.492107e4982fa1d2

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.9e000771d21b559b

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.672ddd985b61e3fb

‘Is he pretending not to talk, is his throat sore, or is there something else?’f1a89c410660c01c

Clara, pondering how to 79bbeb11f9 get him to speak, b33ec7ac2f glanced at the child 507a0486b9 with half-closed eyelids as 2b60e55a5e if looking at something 8e7cb14959 trivial. It seemed like a ee12e41b3c sneer from someone of f823d34966 authority.ebe7e742c207e29c

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.a957f6f5e3cc63b6

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!167bee810b3c9597
