Hell Inn: Rebirth - I Became a Chef in Hell

Chapter 214 The Restless Guys - S01E06

"Humph……"

"...I didn't realize that Miss actually has her own insights into the situation in Hell."

The old gentleman standing opposite the Dragon Girl feigned surprise before raising his head, his eyes drooping, and speaking in a light, playful tone:

"However, compared to those foolish, pot-bellied men who live a life of debauchery, it is indeed quite interesting to listen to a lady who lives a secluded life talk about these things."

"But I'm still very curious..."

"Has this foolish, greenhorn who's just entered society found his 'golden apple'?"

Wendigo, who had inadvertently told a double entendre, swayed his body and asked the question to the person in front of him as if it were just a casual remark.

"No."

“More than a year ago, Colvin’s men burned down the place because there were members of that little devil’s gang living there.”

At this point, the Eastern Sinner casually turned his head and looked at the buildings around him that had been reduced to ruins.

"Just like today... Hmph, thanks to them, I faked my death for a long time."

As you spoke, you, who do indeed have a terrible sense of humor in some ways, curled the corners of your mouth as if you found the matter very funny.

"It's a real shame that I haven't found my stolen gold since a year ago, and it's caused tension between the sinners and the little devils in this area until now."

"As a result, we didn't learn any lessons... Now we do it the same way as before, and we still haven't found any gold."

"Poor fools."

The dragon girl's tone carried a hint of mockery.

You and Alastor talked for a long time in a secluded corner.

It's not far from the Little Devil Apartments that were destroyed by fire; it's just around the corner.

Besides ensuring the safety of familiar faces, you can clearly see what the rescued little devils are doing here.

Some demons were rummaging through the ruins, cursing and swearing, while others were on the phone complaining or letting others know they were safe; the Yaki family, whom you had assured were safe, were among them.

The sky above the Arrogance Ring remains as red as blood.

Besides the heavy and unpleasant smell of sulfur, acrid smoke from various burnt objects wafted through the air.

But as you expected...

Aside from the sinners and other native hellish creatures who came to watch the spectacle, the firefighters from Little Devil Castle did not arrive.

With her arms crossed and a cold expression, the dragon girl leaned against the wall, silently observing everything before her.

"But Miss..."

"anyway."

"How do you know these things?"

……

……

The broadcast demon's flippant and brief question came suddenly.

After he asked the question in his loud, broadcast-like tone, the two demons suddenly fell into an eerie and chilling silence.

The hissing sound of surging electricity echoed alone in the seemingly isolated silence.

Knowing that his guess was correct, the broadcasting demon narrowed his eyes.

He raised his voice with great enthusiasm—like an opera singer getting into the swing of things.

"Honey, I'm curious."

"Why are you so convinced that the two fires at the Little Devil's Apartment... were both caused by this sinner lord candidate named Colvin?"

"And why are you so sure he didn't find his lost item twice?"

"--Um?"

From the choice of words to the tone, nothing about Alastor is anything but exquisite and ornate. He holds his cane and asks you this question.

The smile on the clever devil's face had become so exaggerated and eerie that it was terrifying.

"..."

"..."

Looking at the devil, whose tone was nonchalant yet whose words were aggressive, the dragon girl, who had been expressionless, suddenly laughed without warning after a few seconds of silence.

But it was definitely not a kind laugh.

■■■The face that was originally completely expressionless suddenly transformed into a smile.

But that's something rarely seen on the faces of sinners from the East...

A contemptuous smile mixed with a hint of surprise.

"yes……"

"How could I know these things?"

With his arms crossed, ■■■ squinted at the devil before him and uttered those words lightly.

"I really want to tell you why right now..."

"But it doesn't seem like the right place to continue this discussion."

"How about we move on to another topic and continue this less-than-ideal conversation? What do you think?"

Having straightened up from the brick wall, ■■■ raised his eyelids and looked at Alastor in front of him with little interest.

"Hmph, dealing with smart people like you can be quite troublesome sometimes," she added casually, as if deliberately.

"However, I feel more comfortable with you than with those restless guys around us."

After making a few symbolic complaints, you flicked your tail and turned to walk towards the wider road.

Alastor is indeed an old-fashioned man; but as he himself said, he's not so old that he needs you to take care of him—

So when you left, not wanting to take care of the other person like a baby, you didn't give Alastor much attention.

...but you soon regretted it.

"rustle."

"rustle--"

As the broadcast dance music abruptly cut off, you stopped in your tracks.

The chaotic footsteps crushed the two demons' light steps.

At this point, you were too lazy to turn around, and your eyes slowly moved to your side.

But before you could even speak... someone beat you to it, impatiently interrupting you.

"Oh... haha! Guys!"

"Look what we caught—?"

"A stupid old man who was eliminated because he disappeared for seven years!"
