The dance ended, and it was time for dinner. Sora, Lala, Prince Carter, and Haruna sat together. Servants brought out meticulously prepared dishes. Risa and Mio, dressed as maids, were also among them, winking at Sora and Lala as they served the food.
Prince Carter was a true nobleman, with a noble bloodline and presence. Every movement was elegant and graceful.
Lala, who was usually a boisterous wild girl, was now acting like a true princess, cutting a small piece of food and tasting it with a calm, elegant, and beautiful demeanor…
Sora also took a small sip of red wine, but his gaze was fixed on Haruna, who was sitting beside him, her ears red, her head bowed. He licked his lips with a look of fond remembrance.
The girl seemed to have not yet recovered from the dance, but that was only natural, because during the dance, a certain someone had taken the opportunity to have his way with her.
"Princess Lala, I've been wondering for a while. Who are these two beside you?" Prince Carter asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
"This is Sora and Haruna. Haruna is my friend and classmate, and Sora is my fiancé and husband!" Lala said, introducing them, and then clung to his arm with a happy and proud expression.
"Oh… so you are the human from the rumors, Princess Lala's fiancé? Please forgive my rudeness," Prince Carter said, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He placed his right hand on his chest and gave a friendly nod.
"No need to be so polite, Prince Carter. I'm just an ordinary human."
"Here, a toast," he said with a faint smile, raising his glass. Prince Carter didn't refuse and also raised his glass, clinking it with his.
"By the way, Prince Carter, do you have any important business on Earth? Are you here for sightseeing or for some other purpose?"
Though he seemed quite agreeable so far, Sora felt it was necessary to ask. If he was also after Lala, like those other guys, he might just have to beat him up a little.
"Hehe, you flatter me. Actually, I'm here to hunt," he replied.
Sora and Lala were taken aback. Even Haruna looked up, a curious expression on her face.
"Princess Lala should know that we Barozans are a race that enjoys hunting. And Earth is a good place that has preserved its primitive nature. We have a hunting ground here that is secretly protected by us."
"So, what do you think, Princess Lala, Lord Sora, and this beautiful lady? Would you like to join us? With your participation, this hunt will surely be even more interesting," he explained with a smile and invited them.
"That sounds like fun! Sora, Sora, let's go too!"
Lala, who was always thinking about food and fun, got excited and hugged his arm with an expectant look.
"Since you've invited us, Prince Carter, then let's all go and have some fun," he said, rubbing her head. Since he wasn't after his Lala, he was a guest. It was fine to play with him a little.
"Yay!!!"
Lala cheered, raising her little fist.
The dinner continued in a cheerful atmosphere. Prince Carter was well-traveled and a good conversationalist, and Sora was interested in chatting with him.
Servants would occasionally bring out delicious food, and someone would naturally refill their glasses after they had finished their wine. To his surprise, the one who refilled his glass was Yui, dressed as a maid.
Her face flushed, her hands trembling slightly as she held the wine bottle, she looked extremely embarrassed. From not far away, Risa and Mio were grinning and winking at him. Without a doubt, this was their doing.
Looking at the endlessly embarrassed girl pouring wine for him, he had a wicked expression, which only stimulated her nerves even more. Unable to bear it any longer, she kicked him hard under the table and then ran off with a whimper.
"Lord Sora, that maid?"
Prince Carter's eye twitched slightly. The maids here are quite fierce. They even dare to kick their master?
"Just a little maid throwing a tantrum. Don't mind her, Prince Carter," he replied with a wicked smile and raised his glass to him again…
…
"Hunting is a traditional activity of our Barozan people. To better enjoy this pleasure, please abide by our rules."
"The so-called hunt is to use your own body to hunt huge prey. Let us bet on the honor of the number one hunter in the universe and compete with all our might!"
The spaceship had arrived at the hunting ground. Prince Carter stood at the front, giving a passionate speech.
"What is this, animal skin? So ugly…"
"Hehe… hunting? I'm very good at it! The title of number one is mine!"
"Everyone is going hunting! I'm so excited!"
Everyone had changed out of their original clothes and was now wearing grass skirts and animal skins, holding stone axes or wooden swords. According to the rules, no high-tech equipment was allowed.
"Lord Sora, these ladies are fine, but are you also taking this little child in?" Prince Carter asked, looking at Rhea, who was also wrapped in a small animal skin and being held by him. Hunting was very dangerous. A little thing like her would just be a burden.
"It's fine. She's my little pet. Wherever the master goes, she naturally goes too," he replied, nuzzling his little pet's soft and cute cheek.
"Pet?"
He frowned, but since it was his pet, he couldn't say much more.
He looked at Rhea, who was being nuzzled and had an annoyed expression, with a look of suspicion. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before. This little silver-haired girl actually reminded him of that terrifying Valkyrie. She looked just like a shrunken version of her.
He scared himself with his own thought. I must be overthinking it. How could that great lady become so small and be this guy's pet? Impossible, impossible…
"Well then, everyone, let's go!"
Gathering his thoughts, he gestured to his servants. The hatch opened, and he jumped out first.
"Hahaha… Sora, Zastin, let's go too!"
"Wait for me, Lady Lala!"
"Risa, let's go after Lala-chan too!"
They also jumped out. Though the spaceship was still hovering nearly a hundred meters in the air, that height was nothing to Lala and Zastin, and even Risa and Mio could handle it easily.
"Sairenji-san, Kotegawa-san, let's go down too," he said with a smile, looking at the two nervous and apprehensive girls beside him.
"Sora-san, we… we…"
"Hmph, who… who wants to go hunting?! I'm going back!"
The two of them were ordinary people. Just looking down was enough to make their faces turn pale. Haruna was clutching her clothes nervously, and Yui didn't even think twice and tried to run.
However, before she could turn around, she was kicked in the butt by a certain someone.
"Kotegawa-san, you should just go down!"
"Ah…"
With a scream, she fell, leaving Haruna standing there, stunned and speechless.
The great demon king nodded in satisfaction. She had dared to kick him before. Now he had finally gotten her back.
Of course, if she were to just fall like that, she would probably be killed. He raised his hand, and a sphere of light shot out and followed her down.
"So, Sairenji-san, how are you getting down? Are you going to obediently hug me, or do you want me to send you down like Kotegawa-san?"
His gaze fell on Haruna, and he smiled wickedly.
"Sora-san, I… I…"
Her face beet red, she was so embarrassed she could have died. She didn't want to be kicked down like that.
She gave him a resentful look. Knowing she probably had no right to refuse, she endured her endless shyness, buried her head, and walked over, gently wrapping her arms around his waist…
