Aoba stared at Esdeath's unwavering gaze and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Esdeath, let's make a bet."
"A bet? I don't like that..."
Esdeath straightened up and stood on the tundra.
He removed the general's hat with one hand.
In an instant, a head of long, ice-blue hair danced in the air above this desolate polar region.
At that moment, countless snowflakes transformed into fluttering ice butterflies, lingering around the two of them for a long time.
"However, if it's you, Aoba, I'm willing to give it a try."
She looked into Aoba's eyes.
"I don't like gambling either, but this is a gamble wagered in the name of freedom!"
Aoba looked at Esdeath.
The blood-stained corners of his mouth and the swirling snowflakes created a poignant and beautiful scene.
"If you win, I... will be your spoils."
"real?!"
Esdeath's face radiated confidence.
"Well, really."
What is a betting game?
"gambling..."
Aoba looked behind Esdeath and saw the woman who had straightened up and gripped the sniper rifle again.
Suddenly, he smiled.
Pointing to Najenda, he whispered:
"Let her, as the third party, decide."
Polar tundra.
Inside the hollowed-out igloo.
Qingye was using his divine sense to control the holy sword, slicing the dragon meat he had retrieved into thin slices.
Then spread it on top of the prepared shaved ice.
Use the juice made from previously picked herbs that have a herbal flavor as a seasoning.
A simple dish is ready.
"Try it."
Aoba placed the food on the ice table and smiled:
"Iced dragon meat slices".
After the frost dragon's meat was cut off and bled at low temperatures, the strange, fishy smell completely disappeared.
Instead, it has a unique meaty aroma.
It's somewhat like a mix of donkey meat and beef, but it's crisper and more bouncy than either of those meats.
Esdeath couldn't wait and used ice chopsticks to pick up a slice of dragon meat and put it in her mouth.
Creak~
Even when sliced into very thin pieces, the icy, bouncy texture of the Frost Dragon remained completely intact.
"Hmm~"
After swallowing the slice of meat, Esdeath's eyes suddenly lit up.
"delicious!"
"How about trying this herb?"
Aoba pushed the water, which was mixed with icy shavings, towards her.
Although there are few spices in the wild, this kind of thing with a special aroma can be used as a condiment.
Moreover, these ingredients from another world also brought Aoba a lot of new inspiration.
"Oh, and this one too..." (Read super exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
He looked at Najenda, who was half-lying on the ice wall, watching Esdeath warily.
"Want to try?"
"..."
His initiative was met with silence and indifference from the other party.
"I advise you to eat something, Najenda."
Esdeath glanced at it.
They completely disregarded this senior general.
"Please allow me to refuse, after all, who knows if the enemy's food has been poisoned."
Najeta gave a cold laugh and then said nothing more.
Having been saved from near death by Qingye's blood, her strength had not yet recovered.
Esdeath sneered in return: "Still the same as before, a traitor to the Empire."
Najenda: "..."
"You can't even speak? As a general, you're truly unqualified."
"..."
“If we weren’t here, I think the torture chamber would make you talk like a mule.”
Seeing the distrustful look in their eyes, Aoba immediately understood a lot.
This is someone I know!
He simply used ice chopsticks to pick up a few slices of meat and placed them in front of Najenda.
He chuckled softly and said:
"Have a little something to eat."
"After all, it wasn't easy to rescue you from the snow."
"Even if you're going to argue, you need to be full to have the energy."
Aoba was already handsome.
In addition, there are the bonuses from divine gifts and the succubus attribute.
His appeal to older women is absolutely off the charts these days!
He's practically walking hormones!
not to mention...
He just got the term "leadership qualities" from Najenda.
These qualities, combined with his handsome and ethereal appearance, added a touch of human warmth to his already charming image.
This is what is commonly referred to as affinity.
Therefore, at this moment, Aoba's smile was enough to make any woman fall for him.
Fortunately, Najenda isn't such a superficial woman.
Of course, this is just her opinion.
Under Aoba's smiling gaze, the former imperial general with a single eye beneath his white hair quickly averted his eyes.
Don't dare to look at him.
He simply picked up a slice of meat with his left hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
But just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she seemed to notice Aoba's gaze.
A little color suddenly returned to his pale face.
The movement stopped abruptly.
Seeing this, Qingye understood and handed over her ice chopsticks.
"...Thanks."
The faint thank you was very quiet.
Aoba shook his head.
She turned back and looked calmly at Esdeath.
The latter was a little angry at his gaze: "You gave it to her yourself."
"So Esdeath doesn't want to give it to me anymore?"
"You... Aoba, you've gone too far."
"Don't forget that our bet 893 still needed someone's help..."
Esdeath, as if caught red-handed, turned and looked coldly at Najenda.
Then, he made another pair of chopsticks and handed them to Qingye.
"Give!"
"Yes, Esdeath, thank you." Aoba said with a smile.
Esdeath is quite nice because she can reason with people.
"Humph~"
However, the Queen didn't seem to appreciate his gesture.
