Reincarnated as a Sheep – Path to Becoming the Strongest Demon Lord - Chapter 17 – Next Morning

Did Marie know I was a mana beast?

Emil… I thought you agreed to keep this a secret!

Internal panicking aside, I really need to do a good poker face here to play this off well enough. It’s too early for my head to be rolling on the floor.

Forcing a smile, I poke my cheek with my finger.

“Huh? What’s that?”

Returning the gesture with a grin reminiscent of a horror film, she closes her eyes before giving a laugh.

“Hahaha, the only thing you need to know is that if you want to keep breathing do what I say. Do see yourself out.”

What a shitty household.

Dragging my head downstairs again towards my room I undress immediately before collapsing onto my bed.

This day was too long. Time to finally drift to sleep!

That was such a nice rest. After consecutive blackouts, I’m pretty satisfied about the change of pace. Stretching my arms, I pull myself up. I need to get to a position where I can safely escape this place and head to that demon continent region.

Getting up, I try to find the underwear from yes – I never took it off. I put on the rest of the maid clothes again and start my all-new daily routine of absorbing magic crystals.

Are the three stones still there? Yes, they are!

I pick one up. This time, I’ll go for temperature control! It’s not directly related to fire, but it’d be nice to be able to control the temperature of it right?

Closing my eyes, I start to ponder about what sort of thing I should try to recreate in my mind to implement it to the crystal. The sun on Earth was 5000 degrees, right? Maybe if I use the same template it wi-

The crystal cracked. I guess that’s too much for this small red square. Maybe I can still put some sort of thing into it although it’s broken? The colour is red, but I’ll have to go with just creating basic drinkable water and for the other half… oh! For cleaning!

After a very bitter breakfast, I pick up both the remaining ones. I’ve supposedly done heat immunity and fire as a whole so what would compliment it? If we can’t do temperature control what about something that has a set temperature? Blue fire? Even though I slept through a lot of my chemistry classes in high school that was the hottest colour of fire right. A clear sky-blue flame.

Urgh.

That was an expensive spell.

I swiftly swallow it to rejuvenate myself.

What about the final crystal? What can I do with it? Maybe just inject magic into it then eat, to boost my overall mana usage?

And done!

*Knock*

Huh? Who was it now?

“Ms. Alice? Sir Viclam has invited you to join them for breakfast! I’m here to guide you to the dining hall!”

An unfamiliar voice – from an actual maid.

Quickly swallowing the final one, I exit my room and followed the maid. She herself was cute. Not as much as me, but her brown twin-tails complimented the black and white maid outfit so well. Maybe I’m just weak to twin-tails?

She eventually stopped in front of the room and gave a bow.

“Master, I’ve brought in Alice.”

She said, and with a single wave she calmly exited the room.

I surveyed the long-elongated table, but there wasn’t a single seat for me in the vast empty space and instead a plate on the floor.
