âI want... dumplings...â
âUm... can I have a steak rice?â
âSister Lilith, thereâs fruit! Thereâs fruit! Is this the legendary fruit?!â
The succubi, like children who had never left home, stood excitedly in front of the counter.
Lilith looked at her people, and her heart ached.
After ordering, the succubi still stood in front of the counter, waiting eagerly.
The chef inside the counter smiled and said, âYou can find a seat and wait. When the food is ready, a mechanical waiter will deliver it.â
Hearing the chefâs words, the succubi walked towards the restaurantâs seating area, looking back every few steps.
A few minutes later, the first orders placed by the succubi were ready.
âItâs really rice!â The succubus looked at the fragrant rice in front of her in disbelief, and as she chewed the rice, a taste of happiness spread across her taste buds.
The other succubi looked on with envy, but soon their food was also ready.
One by one, they began to gobble down their food, enjoying a happiness they had never experienced before.
Gradually, some succubi started crying as they ate.
Lilith looked at the little succubus and asked with concern, âWhy are you crying? Is it not tasty?â
âItâs not that itâs not tasty... itâs... itâs just... too delicious... But when I think that... I might not be able to eat it again... I just... I canât help but cry.â
âSister Lilith, I donât want to wander around hiding like before... living a life of hunger and starvation,â the little succubus said with tears streaming down her face.
Lilith silently hugged the little succubus, remaining quiet for a long time.
Sadness is contagious, and soon more than half of the succubi were eating and sobbing softly.
A thin succubus, holding a bowl almost as big as her face, carefully walked to the counter and timidly said, âUm... um... can I... can I... have another bowl?â
The bowl had been licked clean, as if it had been washed.
âWhat did you say?â Perhaps because her voice was too soft, the chef didnât hear her at first.
The thin succubus lowered her head in shame and whispered, âUm... half a bowl... half a bowl... would be fine too...â
âOh, you want to eat more, right? Itâs fine, Miss Zhao Wanâer just said that you can eat unlimited today, as long as you donât waste it.
Let me see... you ordered beef noodles. Go wait, itâll be ready soon,â the chef said enthusiastically.
âThank... thank you...â After speaking, the thin succubus scurried back to her seat, then craned her neck to look towards the counter, her gaze never leaving it for a moment.
More than an hour later.
When Zhao Wanâer returned, she saw an astonishing sight: the succubi, who were originally delicate, lovely, and enchanting, now all had small bellies, as if they were pregnant.
Several of them even showed expressions of pain.
âWhat is this...â Zhao Wanâer looked at Lilith in surprise.
Lilith said with some apology and shyness, âUm... Iâm sorry, they just couldnât control themselves and ate too much... A few of them are overstuffed...â
As she spoke, she intentionally sucked in her own slightly bulging abdomen.
âBurp... Iâm feeling this for the first time... so this is what it feels like to be full to bursting...â A small succubus leaned back in her chair, her expression a mix of pain and pleasure.
Zhao Wanâer chuckled and said, âIâll arrange for someone to send you some digestive medicine later. Once you feel better, Iâll take you to see your dorms.â
âThank you, Miss Zhao Wanâer.â This time, Lilithâs gratitude was truly heartfelt.
She knew very well the value of such a meal, which definitely exceeded the total value of all the food these succubi had eaten over several years prior.
âThereâs nothing to thank me for, itâs just a meal.â Zhao Wanâer was already used to the food at the Starship Mess Hall and gradually felt it was nothing special, as if people should naturally eat these natural foods, not artificial ones.
âDo... all the crew members eat this?â Lilith asked.
Zhao Wanâer nodded, then held up a finger and said, âThat Zhao Chen, my brother, set a monthly meal standard of ten star coins for the crew members on this Starship.â
Ten star coins a month!
Hearing this meal standard, Lilithâs heart trembled. This was simply too extravagant.
When she ordered earlier, she had intentionally looked at the price list. For ten star coins, as long as they didnât eat lavish meals every day, they could completely order meals here every day for a month.
This life was simply too blissful.
âI still have one question. From just now until now, it seems like all the crew members Iâve seen on this Starship are female, and besides you and Captain Zhao, all of them are Half-Beastman female crew members,â Lilith stated a question she had discovered.
Zhao Wanâer rolled her eyes and complained, âYouâll have to ask my old brother about that. All these Half-Beastman female crew members were slaves he bought from the black market.â
âSlaves?â Lilith was astonished. She looked at the Half-Beastman female crew members in the restaurant, chatting, laughing, and enjoying delicious food.
This is called a slave?
Since when did slaves receive such treatment?
However, thinking about a «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» manâs Starship being entirely staffed by women, she couldnât help but suspect Captain Zhaoâs intentions.
After the few overstuffed succubi had rested, Zhao Wanâer took them to the dorms.
âThere are eighteen of you, right? Then Iâll arrange five four-person dorms for you. The empty beds will just remain empty,â Zhao Wanâer said as they walked.
Lilith repeatedly waved her hand and said, âNo need, just one dorm for us will be fine. If not, even just a place to sit would be enough.â
Lilith looked at the clean corridor. In fact, resting there wouldnât be impossible.
After all, during their years of fleeing, let alone underground pipes, they had stayed in much worse environments.
âDonât be polite. What we have most on this Starship are rooms. Although this Starship only needs a hundred people to operate, it can comfortably accommodate three hundred people for living, and if you squeeze a bit, seven or eight hundred people would be no problem at all!â Zhao Wanâer said proudly, as if introducing her own home.
Soon, they arrived at the dorm area.
âThis is where youâll be staying next. Beds and blankets have already been arranged for you, and there are clean clothes on each bed.
This is a temporary ID card. From now on, you can go to the bathhouse for showers and the restaurant for meals at scheduled times,â Zhao Wanâer introduced.
Lilith looked at the dorm in front of her, and she actually felt like she couldnât move her feet.
Such a clean and bright room was going to be her sleeping place?
And upon entering, to the left was an independent bathroom!
She had never heard of a Starship having independent bathrooms in individual dorms. Usually, an entire dorm area would share one bathroom, and that environment was terrible.
Secondly, the entire room was quite large, easily forty to fifty square meters, and contained four bunk beds, but the bottom bunks were used as desks.
The aisle between the beds was a full meter wide!
Spacious, clean, tidy, convenient.
It was truly hard to believe that this was a Starship dorm!
Lilith couldnât help but exclaim again: What kind of divine Starship is this?
