A Demon Lord's Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss

“What is it, Yuki, you seem to be in a good mood.” (Lefi)

“Oh, you’re up, Lefi.” (Yuki)

“Yes, well, I don’t need to nap that much to begin with. I have a strong body.” (Lefi)

Recently, the adults have been taking turns taking a nap in case Riou and Sakuya wake up at night.

So, just a few minutes ago, Lefi had also slept a bit at the Japanese Inn.

“You’re the one who’s been taking care of them all this time. You can rest if you’d like to.” (Lefi)

“Oh, I’m fine as well. I’m sure it will be easier for me than for everyone else, after all, I have power flowing into me for as long as I’m inside my dungeon. I’d feel like a useless husband if I didn’t do at least this much.” (Yuki)

“I see. Well then… let’s take care of them together!” (Lefi)

“Hahaha, well…” (Yuki)

I put my hands over her back and lightly embraced her, as she leaned her body against me.

We both looked at our children in silence.

“…They’re wonderful, aren’t they?” (Lefi)

“Hmm?” (Yuki)

“Such small, cute little things will eventually grow up and become an adult, and Illuna and the others’ growth is also very impressive…” (Lefi)

“It’s wonderful that something so small can grow so big, isn’t it?” (Yuki)

Lefi nodded.

“Yes. I always ask how a creature can grow from such a weak and tiny state? The answer I found is because of the protection of their parents that they were able to grow up. I could certainly feel once again the great responsibility of parents.” (Lefi)

“…I agree.” (Yuki)

We would nurture these small, fragile lives.

As Lefi said, it would be very, very hard.

“But then again, children are children, and they will grow and develop on their own. I realized this as I watched Illuna and the others grow.” (Lefi)

“It has become one of my favorite things to hear them talk these days.” (Yuki)

“Me as well.” (Lefi)

Since the girls started going to school, they have been telling me about their day and what they have been up to.

Listening to their stories at dinner time was one of my recent pleasures.

I hope they can enjoy the world as much as possible.

“Yuki.” (Lefi)

“Hmm?” (Yuki)

“You and I were here first, then you took Shii out, then Illuna came, and then… here we are. And then… there are more that have been added.” (Lefi)

“Well, I met you as soon as I was born into this world.” (Yuki)

“Kakaka, indeed. At first, I thought that you were strange for a Demon Lord.” (Lefi)

I thought at first that I would end up living on my own, but then I encountered Lefi, and she stayed with me because of a piece of chocolate and followed me all the way to my house.

The chocolate smelled excellent. So, it couldn’t be helped. Even a dragon couldn’t resist sweets. That’s just the way it was.

“I see. Well, thanks to your laziness, we were able to work together like this, so I guess I am thankful.” (Yuki)

“There are probably only a handful of people in the world who can produce pastries that can satisfy a dragon. You are one of those handfuls. Good for you, you are so lucky.” (Lefi)

“No, no, I’d rather lament the misfortune of being summoned to a dungeon in your territory.” (Yuki)

“Oh? Oh, you’re unhappy.” (Lefi)

“Yeah, because it has made it impossible for me to live on my own. I have to live with you from now on, whether I want to or not.” (Yuki)

“I’m sorry to hear that. The Demon Lord, who was supposed to turn the world evil, is now forced to live a life of being his wife’s helper.” (Lefi)

“Oh, yes. Thanks to you, I spend my days as a poor husband, keeping my wives happy, and nursing my children. I think to myself, how far away from the word ‘Demon Lord’ I am.” (Yuki)

“That’s for sure.” (Lefi)

I shrugged my shoulders, and Lefi laughed as well.

“…When I think about it this way, you’ve been with me since I came to this world.” (Yuki)

“Kaka, so that’s how it is for you.” (Lefi)

“…” (Yuki)

I didn’t say anything at that moment because I was embarrassed by my sudden thought.

But it seemed that Lefi could see right through my inner thoughts.

She looked up at me, smiling.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be with you until the day you die.” (Lefi)

“—-” (Yuki)

I was speechless, and I hugged Lefi tightly.

“…Darn it, how could I be unhappy? My wife, Lefi, will take responsibility for making me happy, right? Me, a Demon Lord, was turned into someone who didn’t fit his character at all.” (Yuki)

“I can’t help it. In return, I’ll have you take the responsibility of turning me, a dragon, into a mere mother.” (Lefi)

“Fine, we have a deal.” (Yuki)

As we were joking with each other, Riou, who should have been asleep, suddenly woke up and started crying, and Sakuya, who heard her voice and woke up as well, started crying as well.

We looked at each other and laughed, then started to soothe them both.
