Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 56: Specialized Human Skeleton for Biological Laboratory Appears!
Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Specialized Human Skeleton for Biological Laboratory Appears!
Noon.
Lureya was eating fruit for lunch under the maple tree.
"This Aikoya fruit tastes awful."
Lureya squinted one eye, looking disgustedly at the Aikoya fruit in her hand.
"I’m completely sick of it, even my breath smells like fruits and veggies. Actually, lunch is more suitable for eating meat..."
Hinting clearly and subtly, she turned her head to find Shami not listening at all, lying comfortably on a giant slime basking in the sun.
"..."
Lureya quickly finished the Aikoya fruit and stretched lazily.
"It’s also time for a nap, hmm, there’s really nowhere to lie down nearby, but the stomach of that slime seems like a good option. Even though I don’t really like lying next to others, if I don’t nap at noon, I’ll have no energy in the afternoon, so I’ve no choice but to make do."
The girl complained as she moved in front of the slime.
After successfully lying down next to Shami, the stiffness in the elf maiden’s body relaxed a lot.
She admitted that she was indeed a tad nervous earlier, but not too much.
Seeing that Shami didn’t even open his eyes, she fixed her gaze on him.
In the sunlight, the elf maiden’s body, nourished by the fruits and vegetables of the Elf Forest all year round, exuded a fragrance stronger than usual, creating a more fragrant and pleasant scent around her.
She wondered if he could smell it.
Lureya gulped and couldn’t help but think.
Suddenly, Shami sat up and began to retch.
"Why are you suddenly retching? Is it because of me? No way! I shouldn’t smell bad! It’s totally the elegant floral scent only a maiden would have!"
Lureya was startled, quickly grabbed her body to sniff. It was the same scent as usual.
Shami wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, his face pale.
"Sorry. I suddenly remembered the grape-flavored fruit wine we drank at the lakeside barbecue, and the thought that it might have been made from the Water of Life formed from male elf baths with grapes stomped by male elves made me want to vomit."
"Of course, that wine’s grapes were all machine-pressed with water from the underground springs of the Elf Forest!"
"Really? That makes me feel much better..."
Shami’s expression improved considerably.
Lureya weakly lowered her head, the golden strands beside her cheeks drooping as well. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The imagined scene of the two of them napping together in the sunshine was utterly impossible to realize!
This is the moment Lureya looked to the other side, and Shami glanced over simultaneously.
Something had intruded into the Spirit Protection Array.
In the sunlight, far across the clearing, a skeleton was half-hidden behind a tree, silently watching them.
"Shami, the demon you resurrected yesterday?"
With every move of the skeleton detected by the Spirit Protection Array, Lureya flatly supported her hands on the slime’s squishy belly.
"No, but I think I know who it is."
Shami had quite a strong impression of this clean skeleton.
Since she had seen skeletons in biology class and learned about related skeleton races in the Demons Atlas, the elf maiden had no particular reaction.
"Seems like it’s here to find you, really popular, villager~"
"Are you the current Demon King?"
At this moment, Shami heard the skeleton’s words, but it wasn’t actual speech but rather the sound made by its skull vibrating irregularly.
He pondered for a moment before nodding.
Realizing it could understand his words, the skeleton, which had always kept a distance, came running over.
"Shami, it’s coming over!"
Lureya sat up.
"No need for live commentary, you fool."
"Sorry, Demon King. I didn’t dare come too close without a clear judgment."
The skeleton approached the two, its skull trembling to produce the language of the Skeleton Race.
"How did you know my identity?"
Shami squinted. At the time, he had only released magic power towards that Skeleton Knight; other skeleton soldiers couldn’t possibly have sensed it.
"Skeleton intuition."
The clean skeleton pointed to its skull, then added.
"Actually, thanks to the grace of the last Demon King, Luwaka, who gave me a fair amount of magic power and placed a bit of Seeking Master Demon Qi in my skull, I developed this sensitivity to detect the magic power you released in the woods, Demon King."
Hearing these words, Shami realized the skeleton before him seemed to have a somewhat special status.
"What’s your identity?"
"The 71st bearer of the Demon King Castle Biological Laboratory’s skeleton role, the standard human skeleton reporting to the 72nd Demon King!"
The skeleton suddenly stood at attention.
"Why would the Demon King Castle have a biological laboratory? Did Luwaka do this kind of stuff too?"
Shami frowned slightly.
"Oh, it’s actually just one of his role-playing scenes. Staying in the bedroom all the time could get monotonous, so Luwaka transformed the second floor of the Demon King Castle into various scenes like the living room, kitchen, office, carriage, torture room, and swimming pool. A large academy scene was built among them, including classrooms, teacher’s offices, a biological laboratory, and a sports equipment storeroom, among others. This way, things could frequently feel fresh."
Shami’s eyebrows twitched a little.
Luwaka, you’re really messing around with this crap!
"Shami, are you talking with the skeleton? Seems like you’ve heard something very noteworthy."
"Later, due to manpower shortage in the Demon King Castle, I was sent to the front lines. After being defeated by the adventurer group, I ended up nearby, barely surviving until now."
"Could you also translate for me?"
The elf tilted her head.
By this point, Shami finally understood why this skeleton could speak.
Ordinary demonic creatures have low intelligence; only when their level gets higher, around level 40, can they have fairly stable language capabilities to communicate externally. Moreover, each race has its own language...
This kind of language setting in the Demons Atlas could be elaborated endlessly. Anyway, as the Demon King, Shami could understand all speaking demonic creatures and allow them to communicate with each other!
"New Demon King! Please allow me to serve you! I will be a very useful soldier!"
The skeleton earnestly knelt on one knee before Shami.
"Ah ah ah, Shami, can you give me a language skill too? I have no idea what you’re talking about."
Feeling completely lost, Lureya shook Shami’s arm.
Shami flicked the flat-chested blonde’s forehead with his finger.
[Skeleton Race Language Pack, granted to Demon Envoy Lureya, successful]
"Ouch!! Does this way of casting have to be necessary?"
"No. I directly conveyed it to your brain; just found your constant chatter annoying."
The flat-chested girl rolled around on the slime in grievance.
It’s not out of interest; who wants to talk more to you!
Shami stepped forward to check the skeleton’s information.
[Name: Skeleton]
[Race: Demon Race · Ordinary Demonic Creature]
[Level: 21]
[Gender: Once was female]
[Status: Normal]
[Occupation: 71st Demon King Luwaka Human Body Laboratory Standard Human Skeleton]
"I have abilities that ordinary skeletons do not possess. Also, no matter what I see or hear, I can remain completely silent, as if lifeless. I have full confidence to serve well as the second Biological Laboratory’s human skeleton! I hope the Demon King will take me in!"
Seeing that Shami hadn’t spoken for some time, the skeleton spoke again.
"Those kind of scenario rooms will definitely not appear in my Demon King Castle!"
Shami hastily denied.
