The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

After returning home, Chloe was in the kitchen watching Alesia help chop vegetables, and she spoke to her.

Even Irelia, who skillfully used "spatial cutting" to slice vegetables like works of art, pouted after hearing Chloe's words and said to Chloe in a dissatisfied tone:

"Little Yi, you're only realizing this now? I've been showing off in front of you for two days straight... I broke through to the peak of the Master level three days ago, and I'm about to become a Grandmaster-level expert..."

"Wow, you've really taken off like a rocket... As expected of Ilesia, you're about to break through to the Grandmaster level in such a short time... But don't get too proud, keep up the good work."

Upon hearing Irecia mention that she was going to break through to the Grandmaster level, Chloe smiled and patted Irecia's head, speaking to her in a tone of "being there, being there."

From Ilesia's expression, it was clear she was thoroughly enjoying Chloe's masterful caressing technique... However, despite her enjoyment, after a while, Ilesia's expression instantly changed, and she once again expressed her dissatisfaction to Chloe:

"Xiao Yi, what you're saying sounds just like what my father used to say... That's not what I want to hear... I want a reward..."

"Isn't touching it a reward? Is the reward not strong enough?"

Seeing that Ilesia still had that dissatisfied expression, Chloe continued to rub Ilesia's little head with a little more skill, while speaking in a puzzled tone.

Alesia initially enjoyed the gesture for a while, but quickly came to her senses... Luckily, she almost succumbed to Yi's head-patting technique again.

Once she was fully awake, Alessia avoided Chloe's small hand that was stroking her head. She stopped what she was doing, turned around to face Chloe, tilted her head back, put one hand on her hip, and pointed at Chloe with the other. Then, in a righteous tone, Alessia said to Chloe:

"That's not the reward I want. The reward I want is you, Xiao Yi!"

"I?"

Chloe tilted her head, pointed at herself, and asked in a puzzled tone... "Has this little girl been reading some weird book again?" Chloe looked at Alesia's strange behavior and subconsciously thought the same thing to herself.

"I want to drink your blood, Xiao Yi!"

"Huh? That's it? Don't I give you some to suck every day?"

Chloe was somewhat puzzled by the "reward" that Alesia was asking for.

As for Chloe's doubts, Ilesia nodded firmly and then said to Chloe:

"That's it! And I'm going to have a good time now..."

After saying that, Alesia looked at Chloe with an intoxicated expression, then licked her lips with a seductive look that seemed out of place for her age...

"...That's fine."

Although Chloe didn't know what Alesia was up to, she could tell that Alesia was using her clumsy acting to cover something up.

They clearly had some other purpose, but they insisted on acting like they were having a "blood addiction" attack... Well, although this clumsy acting was kind of cute.

But whatever Alesia is "plotting," if Alesia just wants to drink blood... even if she wants to drink blood right now, it doesn't really matter.

After all, it wasn't time to leave work yet, and there was no one else at home besides her and Alesia... As for what Alesia was planning, it didn't really matter.

Anyway, it's impossible for Alesia to do anything that would be detrimental to herself... so let her be.

Just as Chloe agreed to Ilesia's request and extended her arm to indicate that she was ready, Ilesia suddenly "teleported" behind Chloe and hugged her. Chloe realized what she was trying to do and was about to stop her when Ilesia snapped her teeth and bit Chloe's neck...

After a while, Chloe, panting heavily, knelt on the ground and then said tremblingly to Ilesia:

"Why...why did you suddenly bite my neck..."

"Hmph, nothing."

Ilesia looked at Chloe, who showed no particular reaction, and gave a soft snort of dissatisfaction before turning her head away.

Seeing Alesia sulking and inexplicably angry, Chloe was also a little confused... Then, after she calmed down enough to stand up, she walked over to Alesia, who was helping to chop vegetables, and instead of ignoring her feelings like a heartless woman who would run away after finishing her business, she gently tapped Alesia's head with a chopstick and said to her:

"What are you sulking about? Shouldn't I be the one who's angry? Didn't we agree that you could only bite me anywhere except my neck?"

"Am I sulking? You must be mistaken. And Chloe, don't be angry, okay? Didn't we agree on a reward for me? What kind of reward is it if I don't have a neck..."

After being reprimanded by Chloe, Ilesia seemed to realize that her attitude was a bit off, or perhaps she was afraid that she had revealed something. So she stopped sulking and instead spoke to Chloe as if nothing had happened.

"That's not all, is it? Alesia, you don't seem like the type to sulk for no reason... You didn't do something else while you were drinking my blood, and then you failed, did you?"

"W-What other thing? I...I don't know what you're talking about, Xiao Yi..."

Yes, it's confirmed. Alesia did something strange to her, but it had no effect on her at all... And Chloe is also certain that the reason Alesia was sulking before was because her "little trick" failed, so she was sulking by herself.

It can only be said that this child's acting skills are still not very good... In order to find out what "little tricks" Alesia had played on her, Chloe pretended to be angry and said to Alesia:

"Ilesia, you'd better tell the truth, or you won't get any dinner tonight! And by the way, don't even think about drinking my blood for the next three days!"

Seeing that Chloe was "angry," Ilesia, upon learning that she couldn't drink Chloe's blood for three days, quickly confessed everything to Chloe...

It turns out that because Ilesia's level was higher than Chloe's, she had some wicked ideas and wanted to try to use the method of creating familiars to give Chloe's blood her "exclusive mark".

As for the reason... it's because Ilesia didn't want other members of her tribe to covet Chloe's blood... but she failed.

Without hearing Ilesia's explanation, Chloe would never have known that Ilesia was so possessive of her blood... that she would even come up with such a wicked idea.

Indeed, according to Chloe's knowledge, the blood of someone who becomes a member of a vampire bears the "exclusive mark" of that vampire, causing other vampires to perceive a "tainted" taste in their blood. Therefore, if Alesia succeeds, it will prevent other vampires from having any desire to harm her.

However, Ilesia's failure is reasonable... because creating a familiar requires the consent of both parties to succeed. Even if Ilesia didn't really want Chloe to become her familiar, it was impossible for her "exclusive mark" to be imprinted in Chloe's blood if Chloe disagreed.

Of course, this is just Chloe's speculation... The actual situation is that Chloe is a member of Lulum's Familia, and a Familia cannot become anyone's subordinate, so any similar methods will not work on Chloe.

This was something neither Chloe nor Irelia knew.

Regardless, Chloe still gave Alesia a lecture, telling her she couldn't do that kind of thing again.

Alesia "humbly" accepted Chloe's "criticism and education" and said that she would not dare to do it again next time.

……

Rewinding to when Chloe had just left the experimental field, after confirming her departure, the Abyss Order cadre with his face covered in bandages asked his subordinates:

"You mean, people from our faction have really been identified as traitors by the leader?"

"I'm not sure either, but just to be on the safe side, I think it's best not to reveal our secrets to that person..."

Upon hearing his superior's question, the "subordinate" immediately responded.

As Chloe predicted, their slight hesitation when Chloe asked them questions was actually a form of collusion.

They claim that the missions they were in charge of within the Demon King's Castle or even the academy are definitely fake... Of course, it can't be said to be entirely fake, since their missions do indeed involve some similar elements, just not the main ones.

Returning to the perspective of the two members of the Abyss Order, the one of higher status, after hearing his subordinate's reply, pondered for a moment, then continued:

"How about... I contact the organization and ask what they have to say?"

"That would be perfect... And sir, that sir seemed to have hinted to us before that he wanted to join our faction... What do you think about that?"

"Ah? Is there any?"

"?"

"?"

"Sigh... let me explain it to you from the beginning..."

The boss's reply left the "subordinate" completely bewildered. He had no idea how the man had gotten his current position... So he started analyzing the situation with his boss from scratch.

After listening to his subordinate's analysis, the high-ranking leader understood everything and then said:

"You mean I should consider whether or not to try and recruit that person into our faction? Is there even a need to consider that?"

"That means..."

"Of course we'll report it! Let the higher-ups consider it, what does it have to do with me?"

"……walk slowly."

Actually, this was a smart choice, so the "subordinates" couldn't really say anything.

And so far, everything is in line with Chloe's analysis.

However, Chloe underestimated the thought process of this "traitor" faction... She didn't expect these people to be so... bizarre.

Yes, the word "weird" is most appropriate.

So what exactly was so bizarre about it? Well, that story begins after those two guys "reported" what was going on here.

Chapter 384 So arrogant?

Those two members of the Abyss Cult lurking in the academy were actually both high-ranking cadres, and their positions within their respective factions... or rather, organizations were not low; otherwise, they wouldn't have received such an important mission.

So what they meant by "reporting" was actually reporting to the few people in their organization who were in charge.

After the two "unanimously decided" to report the issue and hand it over to their superiors, they immediately took action and began to contact their organization's leader using secret communications.

Meanwhile, Lulum, who had been monitoring them ever since Chloe made the call, also turned her attention to them after hearing their conversation and eavesdropped on their communications.

Lulum originally wanted to intervene in their communications, but because the communication method they were using was unknown, even Lulum could not intervene in such a short time. Therefore, Lulum chose the simplest method of eavesdropping.

Fortunately, this unknown method only seems to have a special focus on stealth. If it's just about eavesdropping, Lulum can still overhear their conversations with the leader.

Of course, it must also be mentioned that if Lulum hadn't been constantly monitoring the two of them and overheard them saying they wanted to contact their leader, Lulum wouldn't have realized that they were contacting the outside world.

To be honest, their communication methods were beyond Lulum's imagination. Even Lulum couldn't sense any magical fluctuations in the communication... or rather, the communication wasn't powered by magic at all.

However, Lulum doesn't intend to study how this communication works right now... The focus now is to listen carefully to their communication content and see what kind of plans these "traitors" of the Abyss Order have.

……

After contacting their "traitor leader," the two "traitors" from the Abyss Order immediately confirmed that their organization had been labeled a "traitorous" organization by the Abyss Order, and their leaders unanimously decided today to declare independence... or rather, to "defect" from the Abyss Order.

They've already been labeled "traitors," so if they don't declare independence, are they just going to stand there and wait to die? That's roughly the situation.

Because their organization and the headquarters of the Abyss Order are located on the human side, and because all of this happened today, the members of the Abyss Order in the Demon Realm have only just received this news. And since these members of the Order are on a "special mission," they certainly wouldn't have known about this news immediately.

They were unaware that their organization had suddenly become a "traitorous" organization. In addition, they had just been investigated by "higher-ups" and almost got arrested. The two of them complained to their superiors about it. Because they were too long-winded, Lulu didn't listen carefully.

All I remember is that their main complaint was about getting their superiors to increase their "requirements for tasks" or something like that...

In short, that's not the point. What Lulum really wants to know is what their Abyss Cult's "traitorous" organization is planning... Of course, another slightly important question is whether the organization's higher-ups intend to recruit Chloe.

After the two "traitors" argued with their leader, they finally got to the slightly more important information: whether or not they should recruit Chloe.

The two guys working at the academy had no idea of ​​Chloe's true identity. They only knew that she was an "agent" level cadre in the Abyss Order and a demon who seemed to be doing a thousand times better than them, lurking in the academy.

They didn't know much else... In fact, they weren't entirely sure about Chloe's identity, but they speculated that it must be very important.

Of course, they and their leaders had considered whether Chloe was someone sent by the Order to infiltrate their ranks... However, after a long and rambling discussion, they finally decided to talk to Chloe first.

As for how to negotiate? Well, of course, the leaders will talk to her face-to-face!

It just so happens that their leader also fled from the human realm to the demon realm. This is because the people of the Abyss Order in the demon realm dare not take large-scale actions... and they are also wary of their "unscrupulous" counterattack. That's why their leader fled to the demon realm for refuge.

The most dangerous place is also the safest place. Their leaders are hiding in a city near the Demon King's castle to organize their members, so it's a good opportunity to talk to Chloe in person.

In short, the leader of this Abyss Order, a "traitor," wanted to give Chloe an "interview" to see if she was trustworthy.

This is a method that only someone confident in their own abilities would come up with, which shows that the leader of this "traitor" is not simple either.

Of course, the "traitor" leader had information about the time and place of the "interview," which suited Chloe's, or rather Lulum's, intentions perfectly... to have those two guys in the academy talk to Chloe about the location and such.

This also saves Chloe the time and energy to argue with these people, and it also makes it easier for Lulum to protect Chloe.

……

"In short, that's roughly the situation..."

After Lulum returned home and after dinner, he briefly recounted the conversation between the two Abyss Cult "traitors" and their leader to Chloe.

After listening, Chloe fell silent for a moment... then she asked Lulum to confirm:

"Lulum...you mean the leaders of that 'traitor' organization want to give me a 'job interview' right now? And he himself is in a city near the Demon King's castle?"

"That's right, is there a problem with that?"

"There's nothing wrong with the questions... but Lulum, are you sure they meant the 'leaders' came together for the 'interview'?"

"Oh... Chloe, you don't mean to..."

Lulu wasn't stupid after all; she naturally understood the meaning behind Chloe's words.

"This 'traitor' organization is really bizarre. Originally, I wanted to infiltrate this 'traitor' organization to see if I could coordinate with the Abyss Order and Lulum to take them down. I didn't expect their leader to be near the Demon King's castle... And what's even more bizarre is that they actually 'banded together' to give me an 'interview'. Isn't this just handing them over?"

That's right, this is what Chloe found bizarre... Chloe never expected that before she even started her operation, the people from the opposing organization were already planning how to "deliver" her.

Is this due to confidence in her own strength, or does she believe that Chloe is powerless against the Abyss Order unless they launch a large-scale operation?

In fact, their leaders' ideas were quite good, and Chloe could agree with them... They chose to hide in the Demon Realm, and even near the Demon King's Castle, so even if the Abyss Order discovered their whereabouts, they wouldn't dare to launch any large-scale operations.

Moreover, it's no surprise that their leaders are all high-ranking officials with Saint-level strength, so unless the Abyss Order undertakes some major operation, they are truly beyond our control.

They wanted to come together to "interview" Chloe because even if Chloe was someone sent by the Abyss Order to investigate them, they weren't afraid of what Chloe might do since there were many of them.

Furthermore, they preferred to let Chloe choose the location for their conversations, precisely to prevent Chloe from knowing their exact hiding place.
