Reincarnated as a Blood Demon on Terra? I've Hit the Jackpot!

Some time passed… Lucifer was too lazy to count how many days and nights had gone by.

In short, the movements on the Leithanian front seemed to be quite significant, to the point where they intended to shift the conflict over to Kazdel for resolution.

However, Kazdel's Military Committee and Babel's system gradually grew and took shape. Along the way, they also had to face a natural Catastrophe. Relying on the immense effort of Tracy and Teresa to carry them through, Kazdel did not fall behind Leithania.

Yet, there were still numerous forces eyeing Kazdel covetously. Lucifer, as a Prince of the Blood Royal Court, occasionally had to exert himself, frequently running in and out of the palace.

Just like today… Lucifer was summoned to the palace by Teresa as usual.

However, before he could even meet Teresa, a purple figure appeared before him. She turned her head with awareness, and the moment she saw Lucifer, she immediately assumed a guarded stance.

Her light purple eyes reflected Lucifer's figure, stark in black and white.

"You… have a very strong scent of blood."

The woman, with her sharp instincts, realized at once that the figure before her was no ordinary Sarkaz.

Conversely… Lucifer looked at the purple-haired Sarkaz girl with great interest.

"And you are?"

Lucifer had never seen this Sarkaz girl before, but she had an aura of the wilderness that had not yet faded, not much different from a nimble primitive in the mountains. He had heard that during the natural Catastrophe, Teresa and Tracy had picked up a child from the outside… the answer was likely obvious.

"I… am Ascalon."

Ascalon, who had never been molded by civilization, was not yet familiar with the language and culture of Kazdel. She didn't even know how to hide her own hostility, but she remembered well the name the twin siblings had given her.

Looking at the still-youthful Ascalon, Lucifer introduced himself in kind.

"Lucifer… Tracy's beloved friend."

When Lucifer used Tracy as a shield, the hostility from Ascalon lessened somewhat. But she remained fully on guard, simply because Lucifer's presence made her feel a mortal danger. Different from Tracy's aura, Lucifer's very existence, his mere breathing, made Ascalon's hair stand on end, her heart pound, and her blood boil… it was her instincts warning her of the threat.

Lucifer raised an eyebrow. Ascalon's reaction was second to none, but her mentality and fundamentals were not yet honed to match.

Faced with a tense and flustered Ascalon… it was time for Lucifer to once again display his world-shocking wisdom.

"Would you like to try my blood wine to calm down a bit?"

As he spoke, Lucifer pulled a bottle of Feline blood wine from his coat… When their Blood Demon clan's emotions began to get out of control, this was what they relied on to regain their sanity. Everyone who's used it says, "This is the damn good stuff!"

But Ascalon, on the other hand, clearly did not understand. She was merely a survival expert from the wilderness, not a Blood Demon or a Wendigo who drank fresh blood or ate raw flesh.

"..." Ascalon, not understanding, stood frozen in place. But thanks to Lucifer's nonsensical action, she was no longer as guarded as she was moments before…

See? This is the wisdom of a genius!

But the atmosphere slowly started to grow awkward. Just as Lucifer was preparing to use his world-shocking wisdom to break the situation once again, the sound of footsteps echoed from the corridor.

"Ah… Lucifer, Ascalon. We were just looking for you."

Teresa and Tracy walked side-by-side, and behind them was another Sarkaz boy who looked similar to Ascalon. He was a blonde, too… it seemed he was a child under the care of the Military Committee. But compared to the "wild" Ascalon, the blonde-haired boy seemed a bit timid and socially anxious.

Upon seeing Tracy and Teresa, Ascalon finally lowered her guard and instinctively moved towards them. In this unfamiliar place, this pair of siblings were some of the few people who could make her feel safe.

Looking at Ascalon's peculiar expression, Teresa felt a little hesitant to speak the truth. She stroked the back of Ascalon's head, lost in thought, which couldn't help but make the atmosphere even more awkward.

"A-hem…" It wasn't until Tracy cleared his throat lightly that Teresa snapped out of it.

"Ah… sorry, sorry. Let's get to the point. Lucifer, the reason I called you here today is actually because I have a special mission I want to entrust to you."

"I am at your service, Your Highness." Lucifer put his blood wine away, assuming the posture of a corporate slave awaiting orders from the boss.

Suddenly, Teresa pushed Ascalon and the blonde-haired boy forward.

"Lately, Tracy and I have been a bit busy, so we were thinking of having you help take care of these two children… their names are Ascalon and Manfred."

"?" Lucifer's head was full of question marks…

Do I look like an experienced babysitter? Are you sure doing this won't give these two kids some kind of PTSD?

Teresa seemed to have anticipated Lucifer's thoughts and added:

"Rest assured, they are both very strong children. How about you think of it as helping them get some advance training?"

"…Even so, wouldn't it be better to request the King of the Corpse Eaters?" Even Teresa and Tracy were taught by the King of the Corpse Eaters. Wouldn't taking care of these two be an easy task for him?

"About that, it's mostly because the old man has other things to do. Laqeramaline has her own work as well."

Lucifer understood… wasn't this an indirect way of saying that he was the only one who was free?

"I remember the Overlord has nothing to do right now, why not---uh… never mind. Just pretend I didn't say that." Lucifer stopped mid-sentence… he imagined a worldline where the Blood Demon Overlord gained two crazy apprentices, and couldn't help but shudder.

Thinking it over… it seemed only Lucifer had the ability and time to take care of the children.

As for Ascalon and Manfred, upon hearing that they were about to be handed over to a Blood Demon of uncertain origins, they felt some resistance. Never mind Manfred, Ascalon, who was almost scared to death by Lucifer just moments ago, felt very conflicted. They were still more inclined to be taught by Teresa or Tracy themselves.

Lucifer, who could sense their disgust for him, saw this and immediately got pissed off.

You like Teresa and Tracy that much, huh?… Fine. Then I guess I'll have to snatch you away to be my own!

"There, there, you two. Lucifer is not like other Blood Demons, you know. You mustn't look at him with such prejudice. Besides… he is no less capable than me or Tracy."

Under Teresa's comforting words, Ascalon and Manfred finally accepted the truth… if Lucifer was as strong as Teresa said, then becoming his disciples wouldn't be so bad.

"In that case… we'll be leaving them in your care, Lucifer." Teresa clasped her hands together, revealing a smile that seemed as if it could soothe people's hearts.

Tracy, who had been standing silently like an expert, spoke up.

"I hope you can teach them both to be worthy warriors, comrade."

"You got it, little bro!"
