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

“Oh, that’s not fair. I don’t have any such blessings. I should have brought something as gifts… no, wait, there are a few things I kept with me because they were valuable, even though I don’t use them myself…” (Cicerius)

Old Lady Cicerius started fumbling with one hand through the crack she created in the space, similar to what I do when I open and search through my item box.

“Oh no, you don’t have to do that, you know?” (Yuki)

“No, it’s a matter of courtesy. I’ve been so bored in my old age that I can’t even remember where I put it. –Oh, there you are! You can use this when raising your kids.” (Cicerius)

And with that, she gave me two soundless bells.

Crisis bell: When the subject is in danger, the bell rings to alert the subject. Quality: ???

“It’s a good luck charm. It’s not too bulky, so I hope they will keep it with them.” (Cicerius)

“Oh, thank you, it’s a security buzzer.” (Yuki)

“Security?” (Cicerius)

“Yes!” (Lyuu)

I thought it would be better to put it on around the waist, but at this size, she might put it in her mouth and swallow it accidentally.

We might need to wait until she was a little older to put it on her clothes, but for now, we would just tie it to the crib where it would be unreachable for the child.

And next, the Spirit King spoke.

[Leficious, take over.] (Spirit King)

“Mm.” (Lefi)

After handing Sakuya back to Lefi, the Spirit King picked up his staff and raised it to each of my children, just as he did to my dungeon core before.

–Wow, that’s wonderful.

Maybe I could now perceive his power because I was also at a disaster level myself now.

The quiet, natural, yet oversized power that overflowed from the Spirit King, flowed into both Riou and Sakuya.

The magic power of the Spirit King was of the same quality as the sky, earth, forests, mountains, and oceans that existed in the world.

When I was given the power before, I couldn’t feel it due to a headache, but… if power of this magnitude flowed into you, it was a wonder your body didn’t explode.

I see, it was impossible without aptitude, huh?

However, unlike my time, there was no change in the two babies. They remained asleep and did not wake up.

Unlike Illuna, who had a natural talent with spirits, these two, on the other hand, seemed to have inherited Demon Lord’s vessel from me, but… wait, I see.

Since they already had the vessel from birth, they were able to receive the blessings of the Spirit King without pain as their vessel didn’t have to be forcibly upgraded by Spirit King like mine.

[Okay, that’s good. You can teach these kids how to use that power when they learn to understand things.] (Spirit King)

“Oh, thank you so much. I will teach them how to use the power.” (Yuki)

[…One more thing, Sakuya, is it? This child is going to have quite a tumultuous life in the future.] (Spirit King)

I reacted with a twitch.

“…Could it be, the title Sakuya has? Can you see it?” (Yuki)

The title Sakuya has had since birth, [? the ?? who sees].

He nodded at my words.

[Oh, sure. I’m not going to tell you what it’s all about. It will be easier for you to raise your child without any preconceptions. But be assured. I will make it clear that it is not a bad thing. Perhaps, Demon Lord, this child will have many troubles similar to what you have encountered.] (Spirit King)

“Haha, well, it is Onii-san’s child after all. For that, we’ll just have to raise him to be a tough kid, won’t we? As expected, I’ll have to teach him swordsmanship when he grows up! Riou should join as well!” (Nell)

“If he’s as good as Yuki-san…it might be a bit difficult. I was originally going to teach him many things, but I think I should teach him practical survival knowledge and simple cooking so that he can survive, no matter what happens first.” (Layla)

“I can help you with that! I grew up in the military, after all!” (Nell)

Were you guys trying to turn Sakuya into Rambo?

No, well, surely at that level he would be fine, no matter what happened. Let’s have him learn to shoot a bow or something as well.
