Sirius's furious shout made everyone turn their eyes toward Fang Li.
"Lord Fang Li..."
Rem tightly gripped one of Fang Li's hands.
"Fang Li..."
Beatrice also tightly held Fang Li's hand.
"Fang Li..."
Emilia clasped her hands tightly before her, her face full of concern.
Even Sylvia looked toward Fang Li, worry evident in her eyes.
Clearly, none of them had expected that among the Archbishops of Sin, someone had come specifically for Fang Li.
Fang Li, on the other hand, seemed not to care in the slightest. He glanced around at the girls beside him, shook his head, and signaled for them not to worry.
Sirius's rage-filled voice fell silent after making that demand.
In its place came the voice of Lei, "Gluttony."
"Wonderful, wonderful. It seems I can already hear the wails and sobs constantly rising all around us. How marvelous! Whether it's fear, despair, or even crying, once those things are swallowed into the stomach and held in the mouth, they must taste unbearably tantalizing no matter what, right? Then all I can do is gnaw! Devour! Bite down! Swallow! Turn everything into appetite! Fill my stomach! That alone is enough! Everything else can be discarded!"
Lei sniffed as though excited—or perhaps salivating.
"Next comes my request, right?"
Lei grinned broadly.
"My request is simple too. I just want to fill myself up. For us, appetite is everything, everything. We have no other desires, no other demands. If there is anything in this world that can draw us in, it is delicious food!"
Just like the "Gluttony" he governed, Lei made such a demand.
"I've eaten so many things, so many. Humans, beasts, Demon Beasts, Demi-humans—every kind of thing. I've even gnawed on dirt and tree bark, you know? Anything that can satisfy my appetite will do.
