Hell Inn: Rebirth - I Became a Chef in Hell

Chapter 239 Killing Intent - S01E07

Perhaps the only difference between you and the other idiots who fall for his charm and intellect, in Alastor’s eyes, is that he has wasted more energy and time on you.

Yes, you are more cautious and stronger than most demons; he probably wasted a lot of unnecessary time on you, didn't he?

Or is that the real reason he treats you this way?

You can even imagine that making a deal with Shirley is nothing out of the ordinary for him, and he has no obligation to care about your feelings at all!

Maybe you shouldn't care so much.

But your volatile emotions made you, in the moment of your rage, in the moment you grabbed his neck, the real... most ridiculous clown.

You admit that you were heartbroken by Alastor.

After all, you've never experienced such intense emotional fluctuations before, so you're probably under Alastor's spell.

Suddenly, you find it ridiculous.

Now look what's happened. In the entire hell, the only idiot is the one who wants to broadcast to the demons... or rather, the one who wants to give the demons his true heart.

The beautiful wild deer pierced the dragon's heart with its antlers.

When you smiled at Alastor back then, said those flattering words to him, and invited him to join the game, didn't everything you did seem incredibly stupid to him?

"..."

Alastor, you are the biggest son of a bitch in the world.

You were about to utter a curse word, but in the end, you couldn't bring yourself to say it.

You feel your eyes burning, but not a single tear comes out.

You just feel like you're really wrong.

You should not let your guard down around Alastor, not even for a moment.

Your genuine feelings might just be something he finds amusing but meaningless.

Yes, he has absolutely no obligation to care about your feelings, but you just can't accept that he treats you like this after you told him the truth and let your guard down for a moment... because it makes you seem cheap.

……

Have you thought about these things before? Or something similar?

Is it because your brain is upset? But you should only have retained a small part of the emotions... Why have you become like this?

You should stay calm at all times, you...

"Alastor".

"bring it on."

"Guess what happened after our cooperative deal was forcibly broken..."

Who will have the last laugh, you or me?

Although your mind is a complete blank, at least one thought keeps swirling in your head—

You must eliminate Alastor, this excessively unstable factor, as soon as possible.

And so, when you look into each other's eyes, your movements are no longer as hesitant as before.

You pressed your hand tightly against Wendigo's slender neck; because you possessed divine power, the white flames burned through the deep red cloth wrapped around the devil's neck, and finally, like a hot iron, they gripped the fragile flesh tightly.

The food sizzled softly as it cooked.

The dragon girl ignored the demon's painful groans over the loudspeaker, and then, expressionless, raised her hand, which was holding her shattered soul, high and pulled it back sharply!

The orange chains that had been binding the necks of the two sinners suddenly made a terrifying sound as steel was about to be torn apart when ■■■ pulled on them.

A teeth-grinding "creaking" sound echoed through the Hell Princess's room, but at this moment, all you could hear was your own lingering buzz of anger.

You see Alastor's hands have dug deep marks into the ground, but he remains perfectly composed and calm...

But you know, once you completely break the chain around your neck, Alastor's disgusting smile, the smile that makes you a laughingstock, will disappear forever!

"■■■！……■■■！"

Just then, Shirley's voice suddenly pierced through your anger, which had become so strong that it seemed unbreakable.

The piercing buzzing gradually faded from your ears, but you didn't turn around.

"Your Highness, it's up to you."

“I can make this bastard who covets your soul die in a more undignified way.”

Like dragging bloodied prey, you continued to pull on the iron chains of soul in your hands without batting an eye.

"What? No...no no no no! That's not what I meant! Stop it!"

Shirley's anxious voice rang out from very close to you.

A soft, warm hand suddenly enveloped your right hand, which was covered in bulging veins and black scales.

The orange chain in your hand has developed fine cracks... but if you exert even a little more force, Alastor will immediately die from the pain of your forced breach of contract.

You no longer care about your reputation.

...You used to spoil him so much, but now, you just want that bastard Alastor dead!

"...■■■!! I said stop!!...Stop! If you really break the chains of your deal...Alastor will die!!"

Perhaps because she saw that you had made up your mind, Shirley, who didn't know what to do, suddenly pounced between you and Alastor.

She blocked your view with her face and then gripped your shoulders tightly with both hands.

As if to forcibly stop your almost out-of-control behavior, a demon's horns sprouted from the forehead of the anxious Hell Princess. Her eyes were red, her sharp teeth were exposed, and she snatched the chain from your hand.

But because this was a deal between you and Alastor, the chain disappeared when she took what was in your hand.

Because Shirley stopped you, your hand loosened its grip on Alastor's neck.

In an instant, the demon that you had been pinning down immediately turned into a shadow and stood behind Shirley as if granted a pardon.

Wendigo, with a handprint on his neck, frowned and coughed somewhat awkwardly.

But he didn't look at you.

"...Shirley, get out of the way, I'm going to get rid of him."

"I will rid this scourge of mine."

When you speak to Shirley, you try your best to make your voice sound less cold and intimidating.

But when you see Shirley's determined yet troubled expression, you are suddenly stunned.

"What are you angry about? Are you angry because things have gotten out of your control, or because I made a deal with him?"

Xia Li frowned, looking haggard and worried.

This trip to paradise and the results clearly exhausted the already immature blonde.

But similarly, Shirley's statement also really surprised you.

But you are surprised not only because she hit the nail on the head, but also because her words were surprisingly aggressive.

...After all, you should know that Shirley has never spoken to you like this before.
