Chapter 4 Dark Demon's Mastery of Temperance
With Dianna's help, (gritting his teeth) Dark successfully restrained Gluttony's impulse!
As for why [Envy+1].
Dark could only say that he didn't understand what Envy was!
He looked at the empty dinner plate in front of him, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and glanced over the food on the table one by one.
Roast beef, grilled chicken, lamb chops, sausage, steak, Yorkshire pudding, grilled creamy potatoes, gravy, tomato sauce...beans!
Maintaining an elegant manner and quietly swallowing his saliva, Dark took a little from the big silver bowl full of beans and poured it into his plate...
"Let's start with beans! Gluttony does not mean that one should stop eating. Restricted eating should not increase the [Gluttony] index."
It deserved to be the delicacy made by the principal Arte, who had been awarded the name of "Saint". Even the ordinary stewed beans were unique.
Dark picked one bean out of the pile of beans, then inserted it with a silver fork, sliced it with a dining knife, and put it in his mouth piece by piece.
After chewing slowly, the flavor of the beans spread out in the mouth a little bit, and it was damn sweet!
Dark couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and thrust into the other half of the bean.
The other Noble House freshman sitting opposite him, Rose Rothrock, was holding a silver spoon. She scooped a large spoonful of beans from a small bowl and stuffed it into her mouth.
Suddenly seeing that the peer on the opposite side was so elegant when just eating a bean, Rose Rothrock couldn't help but feel that her cheeks were slightly hot, and she slowly pulled out the spoon that had been stuffed into her mouth...
Following the appearance of Dark, Rose picked up the knife and fork, inserted the beans awkwardly, but always let the beans escape from the knife and fork.
This made her admire Dark, who could skillfully use a knife and fork to eat beans even more.
"I have always heard that the only son of the Duke family is a naughty child with a bad personality and no aristocratic demeanor. But I didn't expect that he was so elegant in reality."
Girls at this age always like to imagine other people's personalities from a small behavior.
Not to mention she was a girl who had just escaped from her cage. She was so excited to the point where the brain was hypoxic because of the freedom she would get after enrollment. So it was natural that she would imagine Dark this way.
...
Dark, who was fighting hard with beans, did not notice the strangeness of the girl on the opposite side. Seeing that the beans on the plate were about to be eaten, he began to think about the next delicacy—perhaps Yorkshire pudding is a good choice?
Although it was called "pudding", Yorkshire pudding was actually more like a kind of bread, and the taste was similar to soft bread.
When dining, it was commonly used as a dessert with roast beef dishes.
When making, the oil dripping from the roast beef would be applied to the pudding pan, and the batter would be poured into the pan when the oil fume rose. The pudding would swell into a bread shape after baking. The skin of the pudding would be golden and crisp, but inside would be soft and delicate. And then if it was eaten with a layer of gravy with minced meat on it...
Just imagining it would make Darkmouth’s mouth water.
He was about to raise his hand to get Yorkshire pudding, but Dianna beside him suddenly said,
"Hey! Dark, do you like beans? Then Dianna will give you Dianna's share too!"
When she said that, she poured a large dish of beans in front of her into Dark's dinner plate!
Then she added another sentence, "You can treat it as a thank-you gift for the leg of lamb with honey sauce!"
Turning her head back, she murmured in a low voice, "Dianna doesn't like beans..."
Dark looked at the pile of beans on the plate, his brows twitched.
[Wrath+1]
"Huh!"
...
Obviously, he was not so angry, but the [Wrath] indicator suddenly increased.
Is it because the demon god bloodline has entered the awakening stage, which makes him easier to fall?
Dark swallowed the beans silently.
His heart was anxious and irritable, his posture was calm and elegant, and his movements were not rushed.
When he finally finished all the beans on the plate, all the food on the table had disappeared from the plate and bowl!
The main meal time was over, and it was dessert time!
Various flavors of ice cream, apple pie, syrup cake, chocolate muffin, fried jam donuts, marmalade pudding, strawberry pie appeared on the table...
A strong and almost extreme sweet scent was blowing toward Dark!
Dark stared at the desserts silently.
He was not full at all!
The hunger in his belly and the aroma of dessert made him irresistible!
He stretched out his hand to his favorite chocolate sponge cake, and his previous suppressed appetite broke out in an instant!
【Gluttony+1】
"It's only 1 point, I just lost 1 point!"
Dark stretched his hand to the syrup cake again.
【Gluttony+1】
"It's okay, Gluttony's indicators have plenty of room!"
"I will definitely restrain eating from tomorrow, it will definitely be reduced back."
【Gluttony+1】
Dark ate another piece of strawberry pie and finally stopped.
Then he took a wet towel from the side and dried the sugar stains on the corners of his mouth.
"Dark, do you like desserts too?"
"Dianna loves dessert too!"
I think you like to eat everything but beans!
Ignoring the girl's whisper in his ear, Dark adjusted his posture slightly, tilted his eyes, and looked at the long table of Knight House.
At this time, White·Gawd had a new student who was talking with him happily. If he was right, his role was probably similar to the role of Ron Weasley.
The poor Ron Weasley, after a lifetime of dirty work in "Harry Potter", finally got a Hermione Granger, which was considered to have a happy ending.
But in the Galgame of "Duel! Saint Marian Super XX Academy", he was destined to get nothing.
A life of loneliness may be his final ending.
Dark couldn't help but sigh, he had at least one fiancee who would be in school next school year to look forward to.
So, who had a role that was similar to the role of Hermione Granger?
Dark glanced a few times, and did not find the girl who was particularly close to the protagonist White, so he withdrew his gaze.
...
However, even though Dark had retracted his gaze, White, who was keenly aware, had already noticed his gaze.
Maybe it was that Dark's temperament was too outstanding among people of the same age, it was hard for people to ignore.
"Who is the guy with the eyes above the nose?" White asked in a low voice.
Robert Brogheim, who had a role that was similar to Ron, was confused, "Aren't everyone’s eyes above the nose?"
"Uh, I'm talking about that arrogant guy." White was speechless.
Robert shrugged, "If you're talking about the blond, then he is Dark Demon, the son of Duke Alvette Saint Demon, the only female Duke in the kingdom."
White murmured, "Alvette Demon, the Valkyrie who is also known as the Kingdom's Double Swords with my father? Then her son should also be as virtuous and righteous as her. Maybe I can become good friends with him? "
"Pff!" Robert couldn't help laughing, "White, not everyone has inherited the good qualities of your parents like you."
White, "Really? But I don't even know what my parents look like..."
