The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"This place has become the stronghold of the Shadow Court."

Looking at the building in front of him, a building that should have only appeared in modern times, Gray fell into deep thought.

Even Iota couldn't possibly replicate a modern building based solely on my monotonous description. She probably didn't understand some of the technological components, but she filled in the gaps with magical fantasy.

Combining magic with technology, he truly lives up to the nickname he secretly gave her: "The Newton of Another World."

Just as Gray was getting excited and entered the building to explore, Delta had already sent her men away and followed Gray.

Looking at the series of shops on the left, they are all luxury goods such as clothing and cosmetics, including high-end bags and expensive perfumes.

These goods are purely designed to rip off wealthy and extravagant nobles, with prices exorbitantly higher than cost.

As the adopted son of a fallen noble family, Gray is still too naive. He didn't dare to look at the prices of these luxury goods for long, fearing that he would explode if he looked any longer.

Gray, of course, had no interest in these rip-off luxury goods, so he headed to the food street on the other side.

At the stalls here, Gray saw food products that were unique to this world, as well as various snacks that he was familiar with from his previous life but which should not exist in this world.

Gray felt a little tempted and silently touched his small wallet.

They're all snacks, not expensive, you should be able to afford them.

Although Gray himself was greedy, he decided to drag Delta along for the sake of his meager dignity.

Having someone to eat with means you can't say Gray lacks self-control and can't resist delicious food.

"Delta, you can eat all of these things, right?" Gray asked Delta.

Because vampires have very special taste buds, they only think blood is the most delicious food. They can eat meat, but if you ask a vampire to eat grass, you might as well ask her to twist off her head and use it as a ball.

That's how carnivores are.

However, after Gray bestowed magic upon Delta, Delta, who became a member of the Demon Lord's kin, became more demonic in her aura, and her taste buds also underwent some changes, though not significant.

"Yes, as long as you sprinkle some of Aiotah's special seasoning on it, I can enjoy these delicacies too."

It was her again. Gray pictured the red-haired girl sitting seriously at her desk, holding various devices, engrossed in scientific and magical research.

What strange and wonderful things did she invent? But they were all very useful.

Seeing Gray's eagerness, Delta didn't understand why Gray didn't just eat heartily but instead acted so awkwardly, but she could tell that Gray wanted a way out.

So she quickly stepped forward, took Gray's arm, and said with a sweet smile, "Please, Lord Shadow, be sure to try the food here."

Seeing that Delta understood, Gray admired the blonde vampire's thoughtfulness and decided to reward her with some blood later.

Sandwiched between the two soft, smooth spheres, Gray's heart no longer stirred much emotion.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Kappa and Whitescale for the training that Gray received by throwing themselves into his arms.

Upon arriving at the stall, Delta took out a purplish-black card. The shop owner then acted very respectfully, letting them take whatever they wanted without asking for any money.

Gray wasn't surprised by this.

The Ten Shadows represent the pinnacle of the Demon Shadow Court's status, and they certainly enjoy special privileges within their own merchant guild.

Delta suddenly remembered Gamma's request and leaned close to Gray, saying, "Lord Shadow, Gamma has given you the opportunity to visit her. She said she wants to personally hand you the Supreme Purple Gold Card of the Grand Merchant Guild, and that you can take anything here that you like."

Gamma is usually quite busy, traveling around a lot, but he spends most of his time in the capital.

“Okay, I’ll go see her when I have time,” Gray replied.

Come to think of it, it's been quite a while since I've seen that girl.

Strolling along the food street of the Grand Chamber of Commerce, Delta successfully enjoyed a date that would make the other ten shadows envious.

Yes, dating is when people of the opposite sex are alone together, but a date where you just eat and go out all the time is a bit off.

A normal date should involve eating, drinking, having fun, and finally checking into a hotel.

Gray didn't think this was a date; it was hard to say whether this behavior even counted as a date.

He only felt that Delta was being very attentive and diligent, and mistakenly thought (which was not wrong) that Delta was craving his blood again.

Okay, you'll get a reward.

And so, Gray and Delta strolled along the food street, beginning their culinary "date."

Along the street, the first place you'll find is "Fairyland Snacks," hailed as the "King of Aromas." Inside, the aroma of Ruyi Jingu Bang Fried Chicken wafts through the air—a fragrance that blends crispy skin with tender chicken, accompanied by a subtle hint of spices, enticing every passerby.

Around the corner, at the "Magic Skewers" stall, various skewers are tumbling in an automated grilling system. Amidst the smoke and flames, the aroma of meat fills the air, and the fragrance of chili and cumin stimulates the taste buds of diners, making their mouths water.

Inside the "Dreamy Dessert House," 3D-printed desserts exude the sweet aroma of various fruits. The fragrances of mango, strawberry, and blueberry blend together to create a unique sweet scent that attracts groups of dessert lovers.

At the entrance of "Dragon Soup Hot Pot," the aroma of spicy broth rises with the steam, its numbing, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavor instantly revealing the charm of Da Xia Hot Pot. Next door, "Monster Stew" exudes a rich meaty aroma, blended with the sweetness of medicinal herbs, nourishing and invigorating.

Inside the "Future Juice Bar" window, colorful juices flow through transparent pipes, each with its own unique aroma, from the richness of tropical fruits to the freshness of berries, all stimulating the olfactory senses of customers.

The bread and cakes from "Interstellar Bakery" exude a light wheat aroma, accompanied by the sweet scent of cream and chocolate, as if telling a story of the cosmos.

At the counter of "Light Speed ​​Fast Food Restaurant," the tempting aromas of quickly cooked food fill the air: the grilled meat in the burgers, the golden aroma of the fries, and the refreshing scent of fresh vegetables create a fragrant picture of fast food.

The air in the food street is filled with the aromas of various delicacies, creating an irresistible temptation. Whether spicy, sweet, savory, or rich, each flavor tells a story of the street's unique charm, making it a place you'll want to linger.

"I'm satisfied..."

Gray was unusually grateful for the enormous appetite of his demonic body, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to fit so much food in.

Of course, most importantly, it won't make you fat!

Oh no, how can someone have such a useful constitution...?
