Shami started talking non-stop.
"Enough, enough…"
Elze nodded repeatedly, her small face gradually turning a shade of red.
The demon lord before her was even more gentle than she imagined, not fierce at all!
Additionally, in small, subtle actions, he seemed to be very considerate of her thoughts.
He grilled a lot of delicious barbecue in one go, handed her a cup of soda just as she was feeling thirsty, and even prepared napkins…
It felt as if he had been specially trained; the girl felt that everything she might want was thought of so thoroughly.
Is this the sign of someone paying attention to you?
The purple-haired girl stole a glance at Shami, her fingers rubbing together as she held the cup.
Perhaps because she lived alone from a young age, no one noticed her, no one approached her, and no one cared about her.
For the gentle Shami, the purple-haired girl felt a warmth in her heart.
Does Shami really like her with his otherworldly girl preference XP…
Shami's defensive behavior of "the person responsible for grilling has to prepare everything well in advance so as not to run around midway", under pressure from the flat-haired blonde, gave the purple-haired girl the wrong impression!
If that's really the case, then she can't help it.
If Shami insisted she be his girlfriend, she could reluctantly consider it…
"Lord Shami, us Minotaurs also want to eat barbecue, always eating grass, occasionally challenging ourselves is not bad either."
Soon after, the pink Minotaur, who had helped set up the tent for Shami and Elze nearby, walked over, swallowing saliva at the delicious barbecue smell.
The Minotaur Race is an omnivorous species, eating whatever is available, usually grass.
But just eating grass can't maintain strong muscles, so when there's meat, they also eat large quantities of it.
"Of course."
Shami wasn't a stingy demon lord, and quickly handed a bone-in meat steak to the pink Minotaur.
"But there's no more soda. That's something only Elze has."
The purple-haired girl, drinking her soda, choked when she heard this, her ears reddening, coughing two or three times.
Although not explicitly stated, this blatant favoritism definitely treated her as his girlfriend already!
But she hadn't agreed yet; there should at least be a confession process…!
"Don't worry, Lord Shami, meat is enough for me! Being willing to share meat with me makes you like an angel!"
The pink Minotaur bit into the meat steak.
"So tasty! Lord Shami! What kind of meat is this?!"
"It's beef."
Shami smiled, eyes curving into crescent moons.
The pink Minotaur's rugged face visibly twisted, then quickly ran away from the barbecue scene.
"No need for that, Pinkie, in my hometown, there're lots of movies with cats owning cats, dogs walking dogs, and such."
"That's not the same thing at all, Lord Shami, ugh!"
In the small grove, only Shami and Elze remained.
"Um… I don't know how to repay you…"
The purple-haired girl looked at Shami, nervousness causing her to lose the original intention of her words.
What she wanted to say was, she still didn't know how to accept the fact that Shami suddenly became her boyfriend.
"No worries. Eat first, I've already thought of how you can repay me. You can repay me properly tonight."
Shami's mouth curved up, showing a smile that the purple-haired girl couldn't read, making her flustered.
Eh?! Isn't this progressing too fast!! It's only the first day at the job, and their first meal together!
"Isn't tonight a bit too fast…"
"It's not too fast, if we don't do it now, it'll be too late."
The purple-haired girl's knees pressed together in tension.
She wasn't the kind of open girl who ○○ first, then dated later.
Even though she wasn't too interested in that kind of thing, she felt if they did it, it could be done quickly, but anyway, when it comes to the next generation, it has to be cautious.
Indeed, love develops better step by step.
Facing Shami's request, the purple-haired girl's heart was in turmoil.
Nighttime.
A fire burned in the grove.
Shami found the purple-haired girl under a tree, twisting her body alone, doing something unknown.
"Elze?"
Shami walked over and called out to the girl.
The purple-haired girl quickly turned around, the dim, orange flame hiding the persistent blush on her cheeks.
Elze turned, legs pressed tightly together, not knowing where to place her hands, so they stacked in front of her, fingers aimlessly twitching like small fish.
"Shami."
The purple-haired girl's small lips trembled, eyes shyly looking at Shami.
"What are you doing here?"
Shami asked curiously.
The purple-haired girl's small hands gradually clenched.
It was all because of those words that she couldn't calm her mind.
If things kept developing like this, soon the two of them would be entering the same tent, right?
It's too fast!
To interrupt Shami's pace, she had to take the initiative.
She needed to stop the progress at the forefront, to prevent the love progress bar from reaching the end at once!
"Shami, the barbecue you made tonight was really delicious, even though it's only the first day at work, I feel happy…"
The purple-haired girl's chest rose and fell with her breathing, gradually nearing Shami, her slightly open lips exhaling warm breath.
"Well, thank you."
The purple-haired girl, enduring her shyness, slowly lifted her hand to Shami's, or rather, held Shami's wrist with her small hand.
