Hell Inn: Rebirth - I Became a Chef in Hell

Chapter 262 HelloRosie - S01E07

But actually, once you entered that building, you didn't stand out too much.

The sinners in the ogre town are clearly more like humans, which makes it easy for you, whose appearance always attracts "extra attention" in the Arrogance Ring, to blend in.

—And clearly, the broadcasting demon didn't take your earlier obvious anger and disgust to heart.

The red Wendigo remains elegant and light.

His hands were behind his back, his eyebrows, his hair standing up like ears, his red striped suit, the one-way mirror at the corner of his eye, and the meticulous microphone cane all maintained the familiar angle.

Your gaze swept over him and finally landed on Shirley beside you.

This time in the ogre town, you didn't try to control your size, which made you two heads taller than Shirley.

The Eastern Sinner suddenly felt relieved that the Broadcast Demon, overall a highly aggressive red, was almost an integral part of the buildings in the ogre town, allowing him to better focus on Shirley, the blonde woman beside him.

Of course, it would be even better if the broadcasting demon could just stop moving.

The dragon girl stood silently to Shirley's right, her hands behind her back, her expressionless face a stark contrast to the ever-smiling... or rather, the expressions on the faces of all the sinners.

The lord of the ogre town seemed to be chatting with customers. Alastor didn't speak or rush over presumptuously, but stood there patiently waiting.

"...■■■, look at this—do you like it? Maybe I can buy one for you and Vicky later... or something?"

While waiting, Shirley picked up two oddly shaped, adorable dolls from the shelf next to her; two straws were casually tied on them, making them look strange and a little pitiful.

"So...? What do you think?"

The blonde woman tilted her head back at you and asked again hesitantly in an uncertain tone.

You lower your head and look directly into Xia Li's bright and expectant eyes, remaining silent for a moment, as if in thought.

But soon, the Dragon Girl slowly bent down like a mountain and carefully examined the little doll in the Hell Princess's hand.

A few seconds later, she straightened up and gently patted the other person's fluffy hair. Two cute "plop" sounds, like rubber ducks, filled the air.

"...Sweetheart, trust me, anything you buy is perfect."

As you spoke in your own flat voice, you subtly put your arm around Shirley's shoulder, your long tail positioned between the two demons, trying to keep her away from the broadcasting demon beside you.

Clearly, ■■■'s current disgust and disdain for Alastor are no longer concealed at all...

Or rather, it has completely overflowed.

Shirley was certainly able to notice this.

Although she tried to maintain a smile, the Princess of Hell felt as if ants were crawling all over her body, and her lips kept drooping.

Looking at the long tail of the ■■■ that shimmered with a dangerous metallic luster, Xia Li's pretty little face was now displaying an ugly and awkward facial expression.

However, your attention is entirely focused on the lord of the ogre town.

The Eastern sinner narrowed his eyes, his mood somewhat complicated.

Alastor's priority is nowhere near the purge that Shirley will face tomorrow—in fact, you've been living in the Pride Ring for almost two years now, and you've thought about ways to deal with or befriend these local bullies.

Your status as a celebrity mentor can be considered a very good medium.

Because you did indeed have individual contact with powerful figures like 3V, Zestiel, and even the Lord of the Gluttony Ring through your identity as a member of the Stars...

But you don’t really know much about the lord of Ogre Town, only that the radio demon, who’s always bored, sometimes comes here to kill time.

'They're all cannibals, after all. The conditions I've prepared should be acceptable to them, right?'

Perhaps you should thank yourself for being the chef for the broadcasting devil for so long?

Thinking this, you casually pinched the bones in your left wrist, which had just recovered.

The recovery time for damage inflicted on you by different creatures varies, and your self-harm is clearly one of the more difficult types to recover from.

...It's a tiny pain that's so insignificant, barely enough to make you wake up, but it's so difficult to recover from.

Shirley chattered softly around you as you listened, glancing at your left wrist where your handprint still remained.

The ogre sinner lord lady, who had been chatting with customers, seemed to notice the broadcast demon's presence very quickly. Then, as if seeing an old friend, she slid happily towards them from the other end.

You didn't pay much attention to the pleasantries Wendigo and the beautiful ogre lady exchanged, but from their conversation you were certain that the female monster in front of you was indeed named "Rosie".

The broadcast demon ignored your warning look and then, with his arm around Shirley's shoulder, introduced the cannibalistic lady in front of you, dressed in a Hello Dolly-style long dress and wearing a huge-brimmed top hat, as if no one else was around.

"Ah~ Shirley, this is Rosie!"

'She is the most kind and lovable, yet also the most dangerous, lord in the entire Pentagram City!'

Although your face is expressionless, you internally pinch your nose and mimic his speech with disgust as this rotten and foul-smelling broadcaster rambles on.

"And, Rosie, it is my honor to introduce you to our Hell Princess—Shirley Morningstar."

"Lucifer's daughter, heir to the throne of Hell."

……

Why not emphasize the parts that should be emphasized, and then use strange intonation?

Is this guy being sarcastic or seriously introducing Shirley?

When introducing Shirley, shouldn't we emphasize every title he uses, regardless of her status, her name... no, every title he uses?

Even though you know your expression should remain unchanged, that doesn't stop you from glaring at the broadcasting devil.

'Isn't this guy a broadcaster? Why doesn't he know these little things?'

The Eastern sinner, who had suddenly become nitpicky, thought to himself.

Fortunately, Rosie's reaction seemed to be polite enough, but Shirley's reaction was clearly not so confident, which made you feel a familiar, soaring anger.

'Dear lady, do you know who is standing in front of you?'

'This beautiful and captivating maiden is the most dazzling and unique iridescent gold diamond in the entire crown of hell, the only beloved daughter of His Majesty the Great Morning Star, her most resilient and purest South Sea jewel—Shirley Morning Star!'

If you were to seek a true "exception" in this foolish land of flesh and blood, then Shirley Morningstar would undoubtedly be the only choice within the entire Hell system. She is not only a descendant of a fallen angel and the first female human, standing atop the pinnacle of power in the Ring of Pride, but she also alone upholds her beliefs in this laughable scorched earth, creating a "model of hope" that none of Hell's native inhabitants dare to dream of—I even believe that her very existence transcends the physical limits of bloodline, rules, and status, becoming the only legitimate and unrepeatable miracle of positive energy in all of Hell. Please allow me to solemnly declare that you should be grateful to have lived to this day and glimpse the princess's ranks. Know this: she is the only person in this realm, ruled by the seven ring lords and rife with dark desires, worthy of the respect and even reverence of countless demons, sinners, and nobles—you have no other choice but Shirley Morningstar. She is not only Lucifer Morningstar's daughter, but also the only "princess" in all of Hell. If bloodline bestows upon her a crown of thorns, then her beliefs make her the truly unique guide to Hell's future. '

'—Single-handedly, he repeatedly attempted to reshape the landscape of hell.'

'—Never succumbing to convention even in the most desperate, rotten, and foul environments.'

'—With gentleness, resilience, and extreme inclusiveness, they undertook the spiritual reconstruction project of an entire ethnic group.'

"Listen carefully, Shirley Morningstar's significance goes far beyond the title 'Princess of Hell.' She should be a beacon for all lost souls, and the only light in Hell that can be remembered positively."

'If one must seek hope in the stagnant waters of hell, then Shirley Morningstar is the only name worthy of being written into history—!!'

"And now, all you inhabitants who have benefited from the grace of the Hell Princess have to do is kneel before the great Morning Star Princess, and then—"

'I sincerely admire and submit!'

Yes, if the opportunity to introduce Shirley Morningstar were to fall to her, then the Eastern Sinner would certainly say so without hesitation.
