Chapter 12
“I may not know about other things, but I’m good at cooking. Please leave that to me from now on.”
There were no words more heartwarming to a person who lives alone than someone offering to cook for them.
‘This is basically a love confession!’
Eden nodded enthusiastically, her nostrils flaring as if steam might shoot out any moment.
“Ahaha, you don’t have to go that far! But well… if you really want to cook for me, I won’t stop you!”
“Yes.”
Bezel answered obediently, his thick lashes lowered.
If this toast was an excellent meal to Eden, then Eden was an excellent meal to Bezel.
Watching her get all excited and flare her nostrils, Bezel’s cockhead started twitching for no reason. Well, of course it did…
‘But her sucking down my c*m first thing in the morning is a bit…’
Having finished her toast, Eden licked the crumbs off her lips as if she hadn’t had enough.
On those lips she was diligently cleaning with her tongue remained the precum he’d smeared yesterday. Bezel stared intently at her saliva-slicked lips, before crossing his legs to cover the growing bulge in his robe.
“I ate well. Please take care of me from now on.”
Wiping her mouth clean, Eden rose with the empty plate in hand, satisfied.
‘That’s something I should be saying every night.’ Bezel hid his dark thoughts and smiled innocently.
“Yes, me too.”

After finishing a simple breakfast, Eden washed up in the bathroom attached to her bedroom and got ready to head out.
Considering the still chilly weather, she grabbed a thin jacket and stepped into the living room. Bezel, who had been sitting on the sofa, sprang to his feet.
“Are you going out?”
“Yes. I can’t keep you looking like that forever, so I’m going to pick up a few things. What’s your clothing size?”
Bezel hesitated, unable to answer right away. Even to himself it seemed ridiculous, but he didn’t know his own clothing size.
He had been a high-ranking demon since birth, surrounded by countless subordinates. Though he wasn’t as high in the hierarchy back then as he was now, even the lowest high-ranking demon was incomparable to mid or low-ranking ones. Since they took care of everything he needed, there was no need to know his clothing size.
Besides, in Hell, most didn’t bother wearing proper clothes. Whether it was a strip of cloth just barely covering the important parts, or a single robe worn wide open with nothing underneath, no one cared.
Bezel was one of those demons who just wrapped a single piece of cloth around himself without worrying about anything, rather than bothering to dress properly in fitted clothes.
“Well…”
Bezel trailed off, and then uttered the magic words that worked anytime, anywhere.
“I don’t remember.”
The fake identity as a victim who almost became a sacrifice was quite useful in many ways. Eden made an expression that said ‘of course you wouldn’t’ and nodded without any suspicion.
“Then I’ll buy the clothes myself. Wait here.”
“Ah… it would be nice if we could go together.”
“Go where looking like that? If you want to go outside, we’ll go after I buy you clothes.”
When buying clothes, personal taste was important after all. Eden figured it’d be better to take him along rather than get scolded for picking something weird.
But Bezel’s outfit was really bothering her. Going around like that, he’d be perfect for getting mistaken for a pervert and reported to the church. Or run into some crazy bastard and have terrible things done to him.
‘Must be tiring, being born that pretty.’
Eden clicked her tongue, never once considering her own appearance.
Well, it wasn’t like weird guys hadn’t been drawn to her during her life either. When she was young, she was called the neighborhood’s greatest beauty and made many men’s hearts flutter.
However, after she made a name for herself as the White-Haired Witch, even the occasional flirtations stopped completely. Whether it was because her curse made them uncomfortable, or because they were afraid of her strength after she’d taken the necks of hundreds of demons, she didn’t know.
Eden turned away from Bezel, who was looking at her with a regretful face, and headed toward the front door. Just before the door opened and closed, she heard a quiet voice from inside the house saying,
“Be careful and come back safely.’”
Eden stopped mid-step and glanced back. The door had already closed so she couldn’t see Bezel inside, but even without looking, she could picture him standing blankly in front of the door.
“…After always living alone, having someone in the house feels weird. Is this why people keep pets?”
Eating breakfast someone prepared in the morning and hearing well-wishes when going out wasn’t too bad. To be honest, it even felt kind of nice.
“Well, it’s just the first day. Give it some time and I’ll probably start finding it annoying.”
Eden shrugged and strode down the stairs.
Today, she had a few places to stop by. First, a clothing shop to cover up the naked man waiting at home. And—
“With that much divine power, there’s a high chance that he was a high priest.”
The temple, where she could investigate his identity.
