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

Cut to another side… Ascalon was starting to get agitated.

"Where did Teacher go…"

She followed the path they had taken, searching all around for a trace of Lucifer, but couldn't find even a shadow.

However, Teresa and Laqeramaline, who were traveling with them, seemed overly calm. They knew well that with Lucifer's personality, he would certainly not cause any trouble.

But the matter that concerned Ascalon was clearly not that problem. She cared more about why Lucifer had left without bidding her farewell… she hadn't even been able to say a single word of goodbye.

And just as a disappointed Ascalon was returning to the group, intending to give up her search for Lucifer, the figure she had been hoping for suddenly appeared before her again.

"Hey, little one… say, can you conjure up a set of clothes that's warm, cool, and breathable?"

"I'm not a wishing machine, you know, Mr. Lucifer."

He still enjoyed teasing the little Banshee as always.

Seeing Lucifer's figure, Ascalon subconsciously rushed forward.

"Teacher! Where did you go just now? I thought you had left without saying goodbye…"

"Oh… I just went to beg for food."

"….."

The words Ascalon had intended to say were stuck in her throat by Lucifer. One could only say that this was just like Lucifer; he could always use just a few words to leave Ascalon utterly speechless and confused.

But no matter what, seeing Lucifer back in front of her again, Ascalon's heart felt an indescribable sense of relief. At least she still had a chance to say goodbye to him.

And Teresa had already shown everyone most of the tour. As for the rest, it wasn't something ordinary people should see. Not even an extraordinary person like Ascalon, who was about to join Babel, was permitted.

"Although Babel at present can barely be considered to have just started, and is not yet mature in all aspects, I believe it can become better in the future… How about it, Lucifer? Why not register your name here?"

Teresa's captivating eyes looked towards Lucifer. If she could pull him into joining Babel, it would be for the best, even if it was just having his name on the roster. Besides, Lucifer wasn't a true lord of a Royal Court yet; taking a side would hardly affect him. If the situation turned sour, he could just cut ties.

But the result was just as Teresa had thought. Lucifer had no plans to get involved in the internal power struggles of Kazdel at this time.

"Thank you for the invitation, Princess Teresa, but today I am only here to see my disciples off. Please don't trouble a small prince like me."

"How could you call it trouble? Neither I nor Babel have any reason to force anyone."

Seeing Lucifer insist on being a bystander, dedicating himself to the bonds of a lone wolf, Teresa didn't press the topic any further.

However, Ascalon, who was standing nearby, was beginning to feel unsettled.

Lucifer came to Babel specifically just to see her off?

He's worried about me?

He has me in his heart!

And after the sightseeing tour was over, it was time for everyone to go their separate ways.

"Do you need me to send someone to escort you back?"

"No need. I think I'm still young and hale, not yet at the age of senile dementia."

Blood Demons generally have long lifespans. Even the passage of thousands of years might not leave many traces on their bodies. For example, Lucifer, who was nearly two hundred years old, and Ascalon, who was only in her twenties, when standing together, anyone who didn't know would think they were close friends of the same age.

But upon learning that Lucifer was preparing to leave for good, Ascalon froze for a moment. She bit her pale red lips, hesitating several times, before finally just calling out his name softly.

"Teacher…"

"Hmm?"

"May I have a moment of your time… just the two of us…"

"This isn't a hotel, they don't rent out rooms here."

Though his mouth said that, Lucifer still agreed to Ascalon's request. After getting permission from Teresa, the two of them walked towards the deck of the warship together.

"Sigh… what a pity. I still wanted to hear what that child, Ascalon, would say to Lucifer."

"You, really…"

Lucifer had raised the little Ascalon with both blood and wine, from that day until she grew up. Today, as master and disciple had to officially say their farewells, Laqeramaline was still very interested in such a slightly sad plot.

"Let's give them a little private space. After all, perhaps even Lucifer himself doesn't know when their next meeting will be." Teresa said slowly as she watched the backs of Lucifer and Ascalon. Although she didn't use her mind-reading ability, the Royal Crown allowed her to sense the emotions of those around her to some extent.

In the blink of an eye, Ascalon and Lucifer had appeared on the bare deck.

Ascalon stood with her back to the vast sky and the flowing wind, looking at the calm-as-still-water Lucifer opposite her with a complex expression. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. She was still not good at expressing her feelings.

And as the one who had personally raised Ascalon, how could Lucifer not understand her thoughts right now?

"Don't lose because you can't express your feelings. In a situation like this, it's alright to drop some little pearls. As your teacher, I won't laugh at you."

"…Really?"

"A lie, of course. I'll use this dark history as a critical hit against you the next time we meet."

"…Haha."

Ascalon couldn't help but let out a laugh. She didn't drop any little pearls, nor did she sob, but she had to admit that Lucifer was really good at controlling his own emotions.

Does this mean I've been handled by him?

Perhaps so. At least for Ascalon, it was so.

After a long while, she finally spoke.

"Teacher, I have always been thinking about what I should leave for you, to make you remember. And of course—this method is the most suitable."

As soon as her voice fell, Ascalon suddenly flicked out her hidden blade. A cold light flashed, and a stream of fresh blood flew along with the slashing wrist-blade. Ascalon used the hidden blade that Lucifer had given her that day to slice open her own palm.

Fresh red blood dripped out. Throughout the process, Ascalon's expression did not change. This amount of pain was nothing to her, who had been tempered countless times.

The fresh blood flowed over Ascalon's palm, about to drip onto the deck, but this ownerless blood suddenly seemed to gain consciousness, stopping in mid-air before changing direction and flowing towards Lucifer.

"What a waste, Ascalon."

Ascalon's blood floated gently beside Lucifer, following his fingertips. Lucifer reached out and wiped a drop of the pure, untainted blood, then touched it to his own lips.

Having known each other for more than ten years, this was the first time he had tasted Ascalon's blood.

"Teacher…"

"Alright, now I have remembered your taste. The rest, leave it to me as a memento."

Lucifer did not greedily consume all of Ascalon's blood. He took out an empty vial and controlled the precious blood to flow into it. Seeing this, Ascalon's heart was filled with mixed feelings, but it was mostly a hidden joy.

But the greedy Ascalon was still not satisfied.

"Teacher, can you give me a promise, or perhaps, a contract."

"Tell me more…"

"I hope that, in the end, we will have a reunion."

"In that case, the price… no, I agree."

Receiving Lucifer's answer, Ascalon's lips curled into a satisfied smile. Even though a parting was imminent, she was already imagining the scene of her next meeting with Lucifer.

However, just as Ascalon was still lost in her fantasy, Lucifer's topic of conversation began to take a sharp turn.

"But strictly speaking, you're probably not the first person to have made a promise with me."
