The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

The aroma, and the object in front of her—it was definitely bread she recognized.

But this is the bread she knew before she transmigrated, so how did it end up here?

Does this world even have a food called pineapple bun?

She said that even when she was among humans, she had never seen anyone make bread like this—almost all bread in this world is "baguette".

Chloe pointed to the bread, whose style was clearly not from this world, and asked Alesia with a shocked expression, "Did you make this bread?"

"Huh? I was helping Satania, so these are things we made together, right? As for the shapes, Satania did them... Don't you like them?"

Seeing Chloe's shocked expression, Alesia assumed she disliked the "weird" bread and cautiously said...

Chloe, seeing Irelia's uncomfortable expression, realized that her reaction to the bread had been a bit too much and had frightened Irelia.

It's just the shape of a loaf of bread. Maybe it was created by a time traveler from before? What's so surprising about it?

It's impossible that Satania was a time traveler, right?

Chloe chuckled self-deprecatingly, then looked at Ilesia's dejected expression and reached out to stroke Ilesia's fur.

"I was just so happy to see this bread, I don't dislike it at all."

Chloe spoke to Alesia in a tone used to coax a child.

Alesia's expression immediately brightened again... Simple-minded children are so easy to understand.

"By the way, where did Satania go?"

Chloe looked around the laboratory but didn't see Satania, so she asked Ilesia.

Ilesia shook her head in confusion, indicating that she didn't know where Satania had gone either.

Satania was here just before she went to find Chloe, so how did she disappear in the blink of an eye?

However, Ilesia had her own unique method of finding people. She sniffed the air, carefully smelled the surroundings, and then pointed uncertainly to the laboratory and the experimental field separated by only a door, saying, "Judging from the smell, it seems that Sister Satania went there... but besides Sister Satania's scent, there's another very strange smell..."

No, although I know you're smelling blood, you're starting to sound more and more like a dog. You're a vampire! Show some dignity.

Watching Alesia sniffing the scent, Chloe couldn't help but think to herself, "What do you mean?"

Afterwards, Chloe took Ilesia to the experimental field next door, intending to see what Satania was doing and casually invite her to eat bread together.

Chloe had been craving the bread ever since she arrived at the lab, but since it was made by Satania and Ilesia, she felt awkward eating it without telling Satania first.

Upon entering the experimental field, Chloe and Ilesia saw Satania "fighting" a magical beast.

Chloe looked at the small magical beast that resembled a dog and was initially wary, because the beast's aura had actually reached the mid-level, and even the upper-mid-level.

In other words, this unassuming monster, which even resembles a teddy bear from another world, possesses power approaching that of a master.

However, when she saw the collar around the monster's neck and Satania, who was clearly unharmed, she relaxed her guard.

This is just a domesticated monster, it poses no threat, and it seems to be just playing with Satania... or playing with Satania.

Chloe watched the monster with a piece of bread in its mouth, repeatedly leaping around as Satania "chased and blocked" it, and realized that the monster was just toying with Satania.

"Ah! You've come at the perfect time! Quick, help me catch this bread thief!"

When Satania saw Chloe and the others, she spoke to them breathlessly and with a flushed face.

……

Finally, Chloe caught the dog, or rather, Chloe simply raised her hand towards the dog, and with a traditional "tsk tsk tsk..." sound from another world, the dog ran to her side on its own.

Now, Ilesia is stroking the magical beast that looks just like a dog with a curious expression.

However, Satania looked extremely devastated and knelt on the ground.

Because the dog ended up eating her bread, even though she chased it for so long...

"Alright, Satani, consider this bread as feeding the dog. There are still five left..."

Seeing Satania's devastated expression, Chloe walked over to her and patted her on the shoulder in an attempt to comfort her.

"You think you can just feed it to the dogs? You're a child, and a nobleman at that. You probably don't know how expensive bread is outside..."

After hearing Chloe's words, Satania shook her head and said in a tone full of bitterness.

Looking at Satania's sorrowful face, Chloe shook her head. "Kids don't understand anything? You don't know there's a guy named Conan."

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Chloe asked Satania:

"Of course I know it's expensive... By the way, I have a question for you: where did you get the ingredients for this bread?"

In response to Chloe's question, Satania tilted her head, somewhat puzzled, and replied:

"Ah? This is a batch of wheat that Senior Linslet brought over at noon today, which I ground into flour..."

Chapter Sixty-Three: Fellow villagers?!

Senior Linslet...is the last person in the Agricultural Research Department that Satania mentioned before?

I didn't see her come to this lab for class yesterday (she was probably slacking off). Could she have gone to work on those wheat plants?

Chloe thought about it and suddenly felt that something was getting strange about the matter.

If that senior, Linslett, wasn't one of those slackers, but someone who seriously did research... then those wheat she brought over might have been experimental samples.

Thinking of this, Chloe immediately asked Satania:

"Satania, are you sure that wheat is for us to eat? Did Senior Linslet say anything to you when she put this wheat here?"

"Huh? When I came to the lab, the wheat was already there, and Linslett was nowhere to be seen... Speaking of which, isn't wheat just for making noodles and eating?"

Chloe looked at Satania, who seemed completely bewildered, and wondered if she had gotten herself into trouble this time.

So Chloe cautiously reminded Satania:

"Have you forgotten what you told me yesterday? It was about what our lab does..."

"Our agricultural research department is dedicated to researching and cultivating plants suitable for survival in the Demon Realm, and developing Demon Realm agriculture, right? So what does that have to do with wheat?"

Satania still looked puzzled as she spoke to Chloe, seemingly not understanding what Chloe meant.

"No, didn't you ever consider that this wheat... might be an experimental product developed by that senior student?"

Seeing that Satania was still confused, Chloe chose to give up hints and directly told her her guess.

"Haha, how could that be? Wheat was proven a thousand years ago to be impossible to grow in the Demon Realm. This wheat must have been given to us by Senior Sister Linslet to improve our meals... Otherwise, why would the entire laboratory have equipment for hulling, grinding, fermenting, and baking wheat? You don't think I can turn wheat into flour by hand, do you? That's a delicate operation that only a mage of general level or above can do!"

Satania simply laughed at Chloe's speculation, saying that Chloe was overthinking it.

Although Chloe was curious as to why Satania knew that turning wheat into flour by hand required general-level strength, what Satania said was indeed not wrong.

The equipment for making pastries is so complete... those must be for eating, right? Is she overthinking it?

If that really was an experimental sample, who knows if it's even edible...

"By the way, is that magical beast over there raised by that senior student?"

After asking Wheat's question, Chloe pointed to the dog-like magical beast playing with Ilesia and asked Satania a question. Satania looked at the dog with a resentful expression and said:

"Yes, that's Senior Linslet's pet. Its name is Cú Chulainn, and it seems to be a contracted beast... I don't know why, but that magical beast likes to steal my things. It stole my food from the day before yesterday and my bread from today."

Hmm, what a unique dog... even its name is so distinctive.

Fortunately, it seemed to like little girls, and its attitude towards me and Alesia was clearly different.

Chloe even noticed that the monster named Cú Chulainn looked at Satania with a clearly sinister, dog-like expression, while the way it looked at Chloe and Alesia... Chloe could only think of one famous line—"It looks like a dog."

It's the kind of dog that's really good at licking... basically, it's very strange.

It's fortunate that this is a female magical beast, otherwise Chloe would have taken Alesia away from it long ago... After all, this magical beast really looks like a teddy bear.

Oh, right, Chloe remembered another question she wanted to ask Satania, so she continued in a mysterious tone:

"By the way, Satania, do you know Zhou Shuren?"

"Who is that? It sounds like a druid's name..."

The code failed; it seems Satania is indeed not a time traveler. After confirming this through riddles, Chloe continued:

"Oh, it's okay, it's alright if we don't know each other. I just wanted to ask you how to make that bread. Who taught you to make it?"

"Huh? That's what my grandma taught me... She used to call herself a 'National Senior Pastry Chef,' but there are no countries in our Demon Realm, and there's no such thing as a pastry chef..."

When this was mentioned, Satania seemed lost in memories, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Upon hearing Satania's words, Chloe immediately became interested.

This "grandmother" is very likely a time traveler, just like her.

Moreover, given the lifespan of demons, they should still be quite healthy...

Maybe she can even meet someone from her hometown.

So Chloe quickly asked:

"Where is your grandmother now?"

Satania was clearly taken aback by Chloe's question, then she slowly said in a slightly sad tone:

"Dead. My whole family died at the hands of humans..."

"Feel sorry……"

Chloe was caught off guard by this sudden mishap, and besides apologizing, she didn't know how to comfort Satania.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming somewhat heavy, Ilesia, who was playing with Cú Chulainn nearby, suddenly called out to them:

"Little Yi, Sister Satani, what are you doing? Can we go eat some bread now? The snacks won't taste good if they get cold..."

Chloe and Satania turned their gazes to the innocent Ilesia beside them, and the heavy atmosphere between them instantly dissipated.

When Irelia saw Chloe and Irelia looking in her direction, she waved to them.

“That’s what I said, shall we go over there? I’m sorry, Satania, I didn’t know you had such a heavy past…”

Chloe lowered her head slightly and said in a somewhat guilty tone.

"It's nothing, it's all in the past, I don't care about it anymore."

Satania also regained her composure, subconsciously patted Chloe's head, and said with a smile.

After regaining her composure, Satania immediately looked at Cú Chulainn warily and said, "You've already eaten! Don't try to take any more from me!"

In response to Satania's call, the monster named Cú Chulainn merely glanced at her before letting out a disdainful exhale, seemingly teasing her.

……

Returning from the experimental field to the experimental site, Chloe's first sight wasn't the bread that had been on the table, but the three extra people in the laboratory.

These three people are Chloe's bodyguard and Ling Feier.

There was an older woman who looked somewhat like Satania, but I didn't recognize her. I guessed she was Senior Linslet.

And finally, there's the conversation with Senior Linslet...

"Lulum!" Upon seeing the familiar figure, Chloe immediately rushed into Lulumm's arms.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Your Entertainment Circle is Truly Chaotic

Upon seeing Lulum, Chloe immediately threw herself into her arms, clinging to Lulum like a koala, as if she didn't want to let go.

"I haven't seen you for the past two days... I miss you so much! By the way, Lulum, what brings you here?"

Chloe snuggled against Lulum for a while, replenishing some of Lulum's energy, and then, still in a koala-like position, asked Lulum.

It was as if he was afraid that if he let go, Lulum would run away.

Lulum looked at Chloe, who was nestled in her arms, and smiled as she inhaled the scent of Chloe's hair. Then she said to Chloe:

"Alright, alright, Chloe, I'm still discussing things here. How about we do the 'sweet talk' thing when we get back?"

"But Lulum, you've been so busy lately, and you might not even be coming back..."

Chloe looked up at Lulum with pitiful eyes, but still obediently let go.

She knew she was being unreasonable, but for some reason, staying by Lulum's side made her want to be a carefree child.

They're all adults; if their former acquaintances saw this scene, their worldviews would probably be shattered.

Seeing Chloe obediently let go, Lulum patted her head again and said to her in her usual gentle tone, "Alright, alright, my work over there is basically finished. From today onwards, I'll be staying with you more often, don't worry..."
