The Fallen Vampire-Chapter 195: Spicy!

"…My lady, are you sure we'll be able to eat this?" Shakti questioned.

In front of her, there was a black bowl filled with a vibrantly red broth.

The soup contained chunks of white cubes that looked a bit firm, yet spongy. There was also a generous amount of minced beef and scallions.

In another bowl, there was a large pile of pristine white rice. It was more than enough to feed the whole cult or host Big Country's family reunion.

"I'm pretty sure." Vermeil smiled innocently. "You're not afraid of a little spice are you?"

"I… don't think so?" Shakti tilted her head. Enjoy exclusive content from novelbuddy

"Oh, right.." Vermeil finally remembered that the asanbosam had only been on a rare meat diet for a long time now.

She looked down at her delicious bowl of edible magma and suddenly began to feel just a bit bad.

"Ah… Maybe I should've made you all something a bit less intense for your first meal. But my husband looked so cute when he begged me for this..."

Shakti didn't need to hear anything else.

"You needn't worry, My Lady. Since you have been courteous enough to prepare this for us, I will devour it all and not leave a single crumb behind."

It was taking Vermeil a lot of time to get used to everyone around her behaving so formally, and sometimes she wished she could just get them all to act normally with her.

But unless she made it a direct order, they would probably go back to using formality anyways. Which would sort of defeat the purpose in her mind.

Shakti left the serving station and found a table by herself.

There were several in the large dining room provided by the cult. Each one was long enough so that the cult could sit together and dine as they were used to.

But Shakti was always the outsider of the group, which is why she went to an isolated end of the table where she wouldn't be disturbed.

*Clink!* fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

*Clang!*

*Clatter!*

Shakti slowly looked up.

Jordan: "Hi!"

Himari: "Mind if we sit here?"

Saanvi: "W-We don't really know anyone else yet. And you're the only one who speaks English."

Shakti was staring blankly at three innocent looking human girls who had already sat down and made themselves comfortable at her table.

As expected, her usual distant and aloof personality took over before she could stop it.

"…I do not recall giving you permission to dine beside me."

The girls immediately looked crestfallen.

"…You may stay, but know that I am not one for conversation." She conceded.

"That's okay! I talk enough for myself and you!" Jordan had 'easily distracted' written on every report card she'd gotten since the second grade.

Shakti said something in her native language that none of the girls except Himari were able to grasp.

But the young girl just snickered and decided to keep the comment a mystery to her fellow humans.

Shakti looked over the contents of her food bowl one last time before her curiosity led her to tuck in.

She said her thanks one last time to herself before daring to put the contents in her mouth.

'I… can eat it?'

If her eyes were visible, one would have been able to see immense surprise displayed within.

Not only was the food prepared delicious, but she could actually feel it nourishing her inside her body. This was vastly different from what usually happened when she ate human food.

"Hey, you alright???"

Shakti looked up and noticed that Jordan's face had gone red enough to make firetruck comparisons. Saanvi was trying to keep her from fainting.

"Heh. It's so spicy she can't talk." Himari chuckled.

Shakti stared down at her bowl like it was a divine miracle from the nine heavens.

'This is the gift that just keeps on giving..!'

Taira awoke from his slumber when he sensed a few familiar individuals enter the room.

Vermeil, Ina, and Keran had all just returned from getting the cult members settled in and fed.

"How did it go?" He yawned.

Inadu: "I introduced myself without stuttering!" (She did not.)

Keran: "She was very cute." (She really was.)

"Everyone is settled in and resting now. They seemed to have no issues with their food either." Vermeil finished.

Taira smiled at the girls with his eyes still half closed.

"That's good.. It's still early, but it is nice to know that everyone is capable of being comfortable atleast. Now..."

Taira slipped out of bed and the girls felt their cheeks grow warm.

He made a beeline directly for Inadu who was in the middle and wrapped himself around all three of the girls.

"Should we return to our honeymoon now then? We technically are still due for one."

Inadu blushed and tried to back away.

"I-I wanted to get started on making clothes for the clan members… Using those fabrics that Mr. Velreth has among his storage, I think I can make something really extraordinary."

"So, my wife has no interest in me?" Taira feigned disappointment. "That hurts my feelings just a bit, my darling."

Taira wouldn't ever admit it to himself, but in fifty years he had become very fox-like.

He found it easier to seduce, prank, and instill people with exactly the emotions he wanted to make them feel.

Even the women he'd been married to for fifty years had yet to develop a proper way to resist him when he got like this.

Inadu never stood a chance.

"I-I suppose getting started in a few hours couldn't hurt.." Inadu declared.

"How about tomorrow?"

"O-Okay~"

True to his word, Taira didn't let his wife go for a full twenty-four hours.

This was perhaps the first time since they'd gotten married where he was able to fully immerse himself within her. And conversely, this was also the first time she had felt so immensely cared for.

The menagerie of their six bodies was intricately choreographed, and yet wild and unpredictable.

But Taira still longed for his absent love.

Aveena had been in seclusion for almost two weeks now, and he thought about her at nearly every second of every day.

How much grander would this experience be when they were all a part of it? Together as one.

"Honey… I think she's had enough now."

Lucia's reminder was an understatement.

Inadu had been breathing heavily for the better part of a day now.

Tears of ecstasy were running from her eyes and between her legs like a river of nectar.

Her body was twitching, she was covered in sweat, and soft moans were escaping from her lips even though her bedmates were no longer touching her.

"…She definitely won't be able to start on those clothes today." Enyo panted.

"So does that mean we can continue then?" Taira licked his lips.

"Another hour or so certainly shouldn't hurt~"

Before Taira could descend upon Ina with Enyo, Keran and Lucia caught him by the ears.

Lucia: "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Keran: "We had plans for today too you know?"

At the mention of their errands, Taira practically wanted to crawl in a hole and hide.

"…I don't remember that at all."

"We're supposed to be going to visit my mother today." Keran nudged.

"And my parents." Lucia reminded.

Taira had no idea that such simple words were capable of utterly annihilating his sex drive, and yet here it was.
