Chapter 22: You’d Better Have Some Humanity
“Oh! It’s the Dessert House! Perfect timing, I was just craving some sweets! Yake, let’s go in together!”
Pointing to a nearby Dessert House, the Little Princess tugged Yake and dashed inside without a second thought.
“Hello, welcome! What sweets can I get for you? Here’s the menu.”
The staff guided them to a small table for two and handed over the menu.
“Hmm, let me see… Okay, I’ll take one of everything!”
“Hey… eating so many sweets isn’t good for your teeth, you know.”
Yake promptly tried to stop her when he heard the Little Princess plan to order every item on the menu. This little princess really needed to pay more attention to her health.
“It’s fine, it’s fine! Don’t forget, my teeth are tougher than yours!”
The Little Princess waved her hand dismissively, urging the staff to hurry and prepare the orders. After all, she was the Blood Clan’s little princess, with teeth many times sturdier than a human’s! Just a bit of human sweets was nothing but a small case for her.
“But if you order that much, what if you can’t finish it? Sweets can get boring very quickly.”
“No worries! If there’s anything left, I’ll just have the staff pack it up, and I can toss it into Subspace! I won’t waste anything, trust me!”
“Alright, then. As long as you don’t waste it and promise to finish everything, I can’t argue with that.”
Yake really couldn’t think of any other reasons and let the Little Princess have her way.
“Excuse me, would you like your sweets all served at once, or one at a time?”
The staff quickly returned. For a big spender like the Little Princess, who wanted everything at once, preparing all the sweets at the same time was impossible.
“One at a time, please! I can’t wait that long for everything.”
“Okay! I’ll go inform the kitchen right away and have them get ready.”
After that, the staff hurried to the kitchen and soon returned with three prepared desserts.
“Here you go! This is strawberry daifuku, chocolate cake, and cream puffs. Please enjoy, and the next desserts will arrive one at a time.”
“Thank you for your hard work! I won’t hold back, so here I go… Ah…”
Aierjisi popped a strawberry daifuku into her mouth. Yake sat across from her, watching her enjoy the sweets with an adorable expression.
This little princess was really quite strange; she seemed like a completely different person when she was just enjoying sweets compared to when she was in battle.
“Yake, you should eat some too! I feel kinda bad making you watch me eat alone. Come on, don’t hold back! This is your reward from your master, so enjoy!”
Maybe it was because she was always being stared at while eating by Yake that the Little Princess felt a bit uneasy, thinking he also wanted some sweets.
“N-no, it’s fine. I’m not really interested in them. You can eat alone, just let me watch you.”
“Why does it feel like your words are so strange? Do you find it comfortable watching me eat?”
The Little Princess narrowed her eyes at Yake. This guy didn’t just have a single-mindedness; his thought process was also quite bizarre. How could he have no dissatisfaction watching her eat sweets?
“Yep! Because your expressions when you enjoy sweets are just too cute! It makes me feel satisfied just watching you! Isn’t that okay?”
As he spoke, Yake took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the remnants from the corner of her mouth.
“This feels a bit weird. You really are a lolicon, huh? Even knowing I’m a man, you still do this…”
“I told you, right? Even if you were once a man, it doesn’t matter to me. You’re just Aierjisi, a little princess. But… hmm, since you were human before, why do you lack any humanity?”
Yake took this opportunity to voice his confusion. If this Little Princess had always been a Blood Clan princess, then it made sense that she lacked humanity. But the issue was that this Little Princess was once human! Why, then, did she show no humanity at all during battle?
“Ha. Humanity… let’s not go there. On Earth, humanity is utterly useless; it just brings trouble. To survive on Earth, you have to give up your humanity, that’s all there is to it.”
Thinking back to her life on Earth, Aierjisi felt nothing but bitterness. Humanity only brought trouble; to live in a world full of man-eaters, she had to cast it aside.
“But from what I see, that City Lord doesn’t seem as ruthless as you.”
“Are you sure? Don’t forget, Yin cleansed the Old District of those thieves because of whose orders.”
“True, I forgot about that.”
Yake remembered that the Thief Boss was burnt to death on the City Lord’s command.
“So, are all the people in your world as heartless as you?”
Since the Little Princess and City Lord were both so ruthless, what about the Ice Dragon Princess and the Phoenix? Would they be even more brutal?
“Can’t say that. There are those like you who have humanity in our world too. It’s just unfortunate I’ve never met anyone like you there before coming to this world. Meeting you can be considered my good fortune.”
Aierjisi looked at Yake across the table. Luckily, he was someone with humanity; otherwise, during those days when she lost her memory, she might have been completely misled by him.
“Is that so?”
“Of course! What? You don’t believe my judgment?”
Upon hearing Yake doubting her, the Little Princess frowned in dissatisfaction.
“No, I believe you! It’s just… I hope you can retain a bit of humanity in future battles and not become so ruthless. Some guys really don’t deserve to die.”
Yake still hoped for the Little Princess to have some humanity. If she continued to be ruthless, she would surely suffer in future battles.
“Well… I’ll consider your suggestion since I’m a very kind-hearted little princess!”
Aierjisi nodded. She was indeed a very kind-hearted little princess! As long as she could defeat her opponent, she wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate them, preferring they wouldn’t suffer by lingering in this world.
But… humanity, huh? She really needed to reclaim it; otherwise, if she continued down this path of ruthlessness, she might become a completely different person.
