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

I'm not going anywhere.

"Oh, no..."

Unexpectedly, to the words of Leffi, who was told that it was obvious, I slammed my knees and hands to the ground and crawled on all fours in such a way as to be stunned.

I'm sure I have a look like the end of the world.

Refi rushes over here to see if it was unexpected how depressed I was with that too much.

"Oh, don't be so depressed! Well, this time, I just want to be a little bad..."

"Timing?"

"Yes, no, we're talking about this one. And, anyway! Next time, I'll go anywhere with you. Only this time, because of patience"

"... really?

"Oh, it's not true. Then get your body up. Huh?"

Touch my cheek and say so, Refi.

I nodded cocklessly, waking up my body, scratching my horse and sitting on the spot - and lifting Leffi's body in the front with a leopard, I turned her body opposite and put her on her own lap.

"Ugh!? Hey, do what!?

To Refi, who twists her neck and looks up at me, I turn my arm around her torso and gently hug her.

"No, if you can't travel with Refi, I'm going to refill the Refi ingredients within the moment."

"... at all. What do you mean, refi ingredients?"

Refi, sighing bitterly, put her neck back in front of me and deposited a trick on my chest.

My heart rests badly on the scent of Refi tickling my nose.

... Well, I can't help it. Let's be patient this time.

Instead, I'll date you next time until I'm satisfied.

I'm already too shy to date you so much that Refi's face turns bright red (?).

... Plus, if Refi stays in the dungeon, you can rest assured of a little uneasy dungeon. In case it goes away.

I don't really like to rely on my daughter-in-law for that sort of thing... but some Irunas do.

For my pride without me, let's keep it quiet this time.

- And Lew, who was watching this one with a raw warm eye, calls out in anticipation of when our conversation ended.

"So, your husband, we'll be here for a while tomorrow, will we? How long have you been planning on going to the demon world?

"Hmmm...... I don't know. I'm not going to be available for very long, but honestly, I have plans to make."

I have no idea what it is.

"Well, that's about two weeks, no matter how long. If it's going to be longer than that, I'll be back. Sorry, you guys. Next, let's all travel somewhere together."

"Can we travel with you then?

A nearby Iruna asks.

"Oh, of course. Stay tuned, all right?

"" Yay!

Iruna and Si cheer.

Well, only En will have you come with me this time.

I'm sorry that you seem a little grumpy, but it's my main weapon, so I need you to stay with me.

Definitely next time, give me a break, because I'm taking everyone, including Rayce's daughters.

"But Demon King, was it good -? From what I've heard, it didn't seem very profitable to the Demon King."

Yes, Leila, who was listening to Hood with me, asks me.

"Well, maybe, but either way, I thought we needed to go to the demon world at some point."

Besides, this time there will be opportunities for conversation with the top of the demon world in addition to guidance, so there will be no way to miss this.

When I talked to Hood earlier, he said it in a way that didn't really benefit me, but as far as I'm concerned, if you can get information about the demonic bastards who are my enemies tentatively, that would be quite a benefit.

Just to be clear, I didn't originally ask for anything other than my own.

I know it's not a good idea to be too overconfident, but it's just out of the way, such as halfway strength allies.

I appreciate that, but now that I've killed the fucking dragon, I have some confidence in my strength.

There is no denying that the enemy has a hell of a lot of potential, but from what Leila has told me, there is no such thing as a demon clan with the strength to reach the Dragon clan.

I'm pretty sure there's a handful that the way to go is not dungeon territory, but compared to the battle then, there's a weird certainty that all the battles in general are null and gay.

Underestimating enemies is not good, but overestimating them would not be good either.

Besides, if you want to cooperate with a party of demon kings and provide them with something other than information, just be .

Right... let's assume they're kings, crush the enemy's home or something, and even demand gold and silver treasures for the reward of success?

If that's the case, they'll most likely be able to pay for it, and I'm all for securing DP.

Huffle, I'm sorry, King of the Demonic Realm. I'm a monster.

- I know exactly what the king was saying now.

Um, a man named Yuki.

I was myself, who had trained in secrecy as a king's pawn and had also done some work... but when the man snuck behind me, I couldn't notice any signs of it.

Still, I am certain that I am a young man in Kingsguard secrecy, but only then will I be able to see as much of that man's strength.

And - I saw it on the road, that giant castle.

When I was first led to the cave, I thought, "Ah... even if you have power, you're still just a demon king with power" and so on... that didn't happen at all.

That enormous and beautiful castle, which was at the end of the cave, had such an overwhelming presence that it was no worse than the castle of the king it served.

It would also be a good spot for the eye of the pit to judge a man who could build such a castle to be a demon king who was just drunk and obsessed with power.

I feel painful about how shallow I am.

- Maybe the person you're about to meet will have a hell of a lot of strength, so definitely take your side, or bring him here.

Yes, I was half-hearted when the king told me to be honest... the king was right in his judgment.

I'm just relieved that the demon king was showing his passion for talking.

- He needs to be on his side at all costs.

Even if we're going to give ourselves this.

... just, but before we plot his fall...

"... I don't know how to use this, the bathroom..."

- Haloria was alone, forgetting how to use the multifunctional toilet Leila told me, and stood in front of her.
