Chapter 1582: Bait
A trap for catching birds?
Then...
Can I eat the birds it catches?
Roasted would be good!
Lots of cumin and chili!
Gluttony froze, then began gazing eagerly at Qin Ran, drool gathering at the corners of his mouth.
Qin Ran did not need particularly keen perception to know what Gluttony was thinking. One look at his expression was enough.
So he put it another way.
"Do you want to be eaten?"
That was what Qin Ran asked.
Gluttony immediately shook his head over and over.
He loved eating, but that did not mean he was willing to be eaten by some other creature.
"Then you can't go in."
Qin Ran continued.
"B-but... t-tasty."
Gluttony stammered out what he meant. His words were hardly coherent, but the reluctance on his face made his meaning fairly clear.
"So you need a loyal, practically unkillable subordinate to scout ahead for you."
As Qin Ran spoke, he snapped his fingers.
The upper evil spirit appeared beside Qin Ran.
"Boss, at your service."
Though it felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through its heart, all shouting obscenities in unison, the upper evil spirit smiled and bowed to Qin Ran.
Originally, the upper evil spirit had believed its advancement had freed it completely from those old days.
After all, following its advancement, it could already be called the strongest fighter under Qin Ran's command-or so it thought.
But it had never expected its Boss to start assigning it these suicide missions again.
Th-this...
This is just too cruel.
Once again, the upper evil spirit recalled the sunshine of the West Coast.
It missed home.
Its warm, comfortable home.
"It s-scouts ahead?"
Gluttony looked at the upper evil spirit, understanding dawning on his face. A moment later, he even grew thoughtful.
