Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Nero, Emilia, Sophia, and Asteria were sitting at the dining table on the upper deck of the ship.

There were different types of dishes served on the table, including the half-burnt animals Nero hunted.

But thanks to Asteria's and Emilia's cooking skills, they managed to make a good dish out of them.

Sophia cooked the fish and made the juice from the fruits Nero brought with him.

Nero had already emptied the seawater from the lower deck and repaired the outer ship. Although unfortunately, they couldn't go at the same speed they were traveling because of the ship's damage.

Nero grabbed the barrel filled with rum and mixed it with his purple juice.

Sophia raised her brows and said, "Don't mix weird things."

Nero shook the glass after saying, "Everything tastes good with good ol rum."

He took a sip and couldn't stop himself from taking another sip.

"It tastes great!" he awed.

He moved the glass to Asteria and said, "Want to try it?"

Asteria nodded and turned the glass in her hand to find the spot from where Nero drank. She placed her lips on the exact same spot and took a sip.

After savoring every ounce of it, she took another sip and said, "It truly tastes great."

SIGH~

Nero sighed in relief as he thought, 'I was worried since Asteria had never drank alcohol before. But I guess her demon blood is doing its work in purifying it.'

Asteria passed the half-filled glass to Sophia and uttered, "You should try it too."

Sophia grabbed the glass and glanced at Emilia, who was eagerly waiting for her turn to drink the rum juice, with a genuine smile on her face.

Sophia smirked and drank every last drop from the glass, then passed the empty glass to Emilia.

"You…!" Emilia gritted her teeth and turned to Nero to demand justice.

"Nero. She drank everything even though she knew I was waiting for my turn."

"Stop fighting over little things." Nero raised his brows at Emilia and remarked, "What are you, a kid?" 

"Want me to call you 'daddy' from now on then?" Emilia asked with a frowned face.

"I sincerely apologize for calling you a kid." Nero apologized like a gentleman.

"Now give me your juice mixed with rum," Emilia demanded.

Nero filled the glass with the purple juice and added some rum. But when he tried to pass it to Emilia, she said, "Not this purple juice. I was talking about your white juice."

"..."

".....!" Asteria choked on her food as she remembered the morning service she gave to Nero, where she drank his juice.

"You said 'Everything tastes good with good ol rum', so I was curious how your white juice tastes with rum."

'She has far surpassed the pervert hood,' Nero thought to himself but couldn't dare to say it out loud.

"Aren't you curious too?" Emilia asked.

"Hell no! Why would I drink my own— argh! I just imagined doing that!" Nero facepalmed and rubbed his hand on his face.

Emilia looked at Asteria with an excited look on her face.

"Well…" Asteria averted her gaze from Nero and muttered, "I am interested."

"See?! Even your innocent daughter wants to drink your precious milk."

Nero stuffed the fish in Emilia's mouth and said in a solemn voice, "Next time you say words like 'Daughter' or 'Daddy', I will get angry."

After chewing the fish, Emilia swallowed it and drank the rum juice.

Then, she stood up and walked away.

"Where do you think you are going?" Nero asked.

"Downstairs. Everyone is yelling and getting angry at me today," Emilia muttered and went downstairs.

SIGH!

Nero sighed and muttered, "I never said I was angry."

Sophia stood up and said, "I will bring her back."

"No, you stay here. You are the last person she wants to talk with." Nero stood up and said, "I will talk to her—"

Nero was about to go and talk to Emilia, but she came back on her own.

"...."

"Hmph!" Emilia turned her face to the other side and said, "It's not like I came back because I was afraid of being left out."

"Why are you turning into a tsundere now?"

Emilia sat back on her chair and began eating.

They enjoyed dinner under the starry sky and the cold breeze of the sea.

"Now then, Asteria, I know I said we would talk about it while eating dinner, and we have finished eating. But can you wait for a little more? We will talk about it tomorrow properly, okay?"

Asteria nodded meekly and uttered, "I understand."

Nero patted Asteria and thought, 'I want to talk to her about her being the reincarnation of Princess Astrea, but I am afraid if she will be able to accept it or not. But I can't keep it from her for forever; sooner or later, I will have to tell her. And I am sure Sophi has realized it too.'

Nero cleared his throat and said, "I am happy that you three found my weapon. So to show my gratitude, I will fulfill one wish of each of you; it can be anything. As long as it's nothing related to our relationships, I will grant your wishes."

"Anything?" Emilia asked to confirm.

"Anything," Nero replied and turned to Asteria, "Let's start with Asteria."

Asteria's face flushed as she pondered for a wish. After thinking for a while, she muttered, "I want you to give me a nickname."

"Nickname?" Nero wondered with a puzzled look on his face.

"Like how you call Sophia 'Sophi'. I also want you to call me by a special name," Asteria wished.

"Alright," Nero scratched his cheek with his finger and nodded: "I will have to think of a nice nickname, so give me one day."

Nero then turned to Sophia to listen to her wish.

"I want you to be rough on me during sex like you do with Emilia," Sophia demanded nonchalantly.

"I can't believe my innocent Sophi asked for something illicit. You have been corrupted, Sophi," Nero remarked.

Nero turned to Emilia to listen to her wish.

'It's definitely going to be something pervy,' Nero, Sophia, and Asteria thought the same in unison.
