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

"Jingurube, Jingurube! Jinguruuuuuuuuuu!

Iruna brackets the ornament in her hand in a tree, singing in a voice that is slightly out of shape but very comfortable to hear.

Around her, Ray, Louis and Low, the three doll-possessed Rays daughters, drift through the universe, decorating in the same way.

And then again, next to them, I pick up the ornaments in the basket I left on the floor and bracket them in the tree.

"... si, wow"

"Eh heh, si, this, and all that!

Across from me and opposite the Irunas, Shi is changing and stretching his body, decorating the one on the tree, with an impressive look on En's face when he sees it.

"Hey, stay here, I was wondering if you could come to Iruna properly, Santa?

"Oh, of course you'll come. Iruna is such a good girl."

That's how I stroke Iruna's head.

"Or will you also kiss me at Shi's?

"... also to En, come?

"Oh, of course. It won't be hard to look around the world at a kid as good as you guys. And Shi, not Satan, but Santa."

That brings the Lord of Hell.

I laughed at Shi, who makes a mess of me, and then I kept decorating.

- It's Christmas.

Yes, it is the enemy of a single man, that Christmas.

They say there's no Christmas-like event in this world - no, Nell says there's something close to it, but it's closer to a bee Christmas overseas than a festival-stained Christmas in Japan, and it's more robust, and it's not very pervasive in general.

That wouldn't be funny.

I want our preschool girls to go through a lot more fun things, and I need to spend every event well.

Therefore, we are currently snowing in the meadow area outside the castle using weather settings that we do not normally use, and we are also bringing a mysterious tree between this true and throne that looks like a mochi tree to prepare as a Christmas tree replacement.

I have already prepared the gifts where Iruna and the others have not seen them, and Lew and Nell are now preparing them, mainly Leila, when it comes to cooking.

By the way, Leffi helped decorate the tree earlier, but he's tired of watching us work.

I asked the preschoolers in advance what they wanted, and Iruna said, "Is there anything you want? When I heard," No time, "Your love!" When I came back, I blew tea out on the boulder.

What the hell are our residents teaching them?

Well, until now Christmas has been an enemy to me, since elementary school in my previous life, such as the decent celebration, but now I already have a daughter-in-law, a child (not a child).

If I were you now, I'd be able to spend the Holy Night in peace. Fuhahahaha, get out of the way.

"Nevertheless, there are strange men in the Lord's world. I didn't know you would go out of your way to cut your money and distribute what children wanted."

"No, I don't know if you're out of money..."

Yeah, but isn't that a mistake, too?

Parents are the ones giving gifts, and you can certainly say they're out of money.

"Some of them are noble."

"You know, I've heard stories about all kinds of gods and saints, but I've never heard stories about people who give a child a dream like that."

To Lew's words, Nell, who was arranging plates on the table, continues his words.

Well, the saints in this world and the saints I've known in my last life are a lot different colors.

The saints of this world are, by and large, all strong.

To protect the people from the demonic invasion, they fought and died three days and three nights, or they were single and assaulted by the army of the demons, and they were martyred for delaying their attack, and they stood up to the great aristocracy that lay down the oppression, and they continued to resist until the end for the people, and at the end they were martyred in the trap of the nobility?

I guess the basic thing about martyrdom is that saints still don't certify it without enough self-sacrifice to hate their own death. I don't like the world.

Anyway, all saints in this world are militants for some reason.

"I'm sure he's a hell of a pedophile who made Yuki even more obstinate."

"Don't call Santa a a fucking pervert..."

Neither would Mr. St. Nicholas have thought he would be treated like a do-grade lollicon.

And I'll tell you more than once, I'm not Loricon, so stop putting me out in a hangout.

As we all prepare for Christmas, Layla, with a glimpse of her face from the kitchen, speaks to all of us.

"Everybody, it's time for dinner."

"Ugh. Shall we finish this one with the stars? - You guys, can you decorate the heavenly side with this?

When my Rayce daughters received the star I gave them as a delight, they climbed around the big tree and decorated the tree's ceiling with the three of us.

"All right, it's done!

"Wow, I did it! You're going to sparkle, stay!

"Huffle, well, watch. I have a trick for this. It'll be a little dark."

That said, I turn off the light between the thrones and then touch the roots of the tree and pour magic from there.

- As soon as the tree decorations begin to shed light, dyeing the room colorfully.

"Wow......!

"... ho"

Iruna and Refi leaking their exclamation.

Si and En are silently looking at the pompous tree, and Reis daughters are looking up at the tree over my shoulders and head.

I still remain possessed by the doll, so I don't know the look on its face, but I guess they are also distracted by this tree to see where they don't move.

"... Beautiful"

"... yeah. Wow, beautiful."

"Oh, it's true."

"Hehe, isn't that amazing? I worked really hard on it."

When you pour in magic, you exchange lots of luminescent ore in a DP catalog and sprinkle it in the tree in advance.

That's a light-emitting diode replacement.

When the magic runs out, the light disappears, but I equipped the tree with something like a magic accumulator so that it wouldn't, so once poured into it in large quantities, it would be able to run nicely for about three hours.

Actually, don't tell me that this is all I consume quite a bit of DP from this tree alone.

Satisfied with how they were doing, I turned the lights back on between the thrones and said to them.

"- Well, let's make it dinner!

"... All right, you slept with the toddlers. Starting now with the code name SANTA"

I speak small to Leffi, dressed in a Santa costume, and Lew, dressed in a reindeer costume.

This is the usual inn outside the castle, not between the true thrones, and we're the only ones here, so we don't have to keep our voices down and talk at all, but, well, that's the mood.

"Oh, my goodness, I don't know."

"That's okay through"

Nell and Leila, who are not here by the way, are preparing a second meeting in the room next to here at the inn.

After finishing our code name, SANTA, we're going to be hosting an adult Christmas. I'll drink a lot of alcohol.

"Look, our goal this time is to keep the gift secret on the pillow without finding out who the subject is and without waking the subject up. That is, a sneak mission. I hope the old snake loses his face."

"Are you sure you don't know what this guy's talking about?

"... No, we're not sure either. And your husband, why is your husband and Leffi only animals when they're in that red costume? What kind of animal is this?

"Isn't that horn and color Horn Deere?

"The costume is an animal called a reindeer. Santa needs a reindeer. Don't worry, you look good enough and cute. After all, I wasn't wrong."

"Oh, you will?

"Oh, it's great. There won't be anyone in this dungeon who looks better as a reindeer than you."

"Eh, heh, then, okay. We'll do our best as reindeer!

"... Lew, Lord, it's simple."

The long-time refi seems to realize I'm enjoying a laugh, but Lew smiles nicely as soon as he doesn't seem to understand.

He's cute.

"We'll get back to it. First, I'll tell you what to expect from the operation. Iruna and Si are probably fine because they sleep well, but the problem is with the Lace daughters of En and Ray, Louis and Low"

"Hmm... there's something a little hard to do if they don't notice."

"En, I'm sensitive to the signs, and the Lace kids don't sleep in the first place, do they?"

Yes, En is sensitive to the signs.

Even if you look asleep, if you stop by, you wake up naturally, and even if you're over some wall when you're awake, guess who that is.

I guess the feeling is simply sharp, not skills or anything. Just a knife. Just a knife. It's important, so twice r y.

And as far as the Reis daughters are concerned, I no longer sleep.

It doesn't seem to require sleep because there is no flesh, and even if it is resting as a state of rest, it seems that consciousness is firm, unlike human sleep.

"Therefore, the less challenging gifts of Iruna, Shi, will be put in charge by Lew. En is supposedly the best at keeping secrets. Rayce, my daughters, I'll take care of it, and in the meantime, I'll get the job done."

"Wow, okay. Pretty solid plan."

"No, I don't think this guy's just kidding and having fun."

"You don't know what you're talking about. - Let's go. Move fast!

"Yes, yes, then, let's do it, Lew. Let's make sure this guy doesn't nag us later."

"Yes! As a reindeer, we work hard!

And we started acting under the perfect op-!!

"Wow!! Wow wow, stay, look and see!! I really got a gift from Santa!!

"Oh...... it's true. Good for you, Iruna."

With a tired smile on my face, I answer her that way.

I didn't know you were going to have a death fight that far with Reis daughters...... still a jerk, huh?

I didn't expect a boulder to interfere with me like that...

Though it was good because I managed not to be noticed and I succeeded in finishing handing out the gift, I almost failed at risk.

En's too, Leffi should have activated the ultimate concealment, but I didn't know that would happen... it wouldn't have been critically noticed, but it was mostly dangerous.

"Hey, hey there."

"Hmm? What?

"Thanks! Come on, love it!

"... I'm super glad you said you loved it, but you don't know what you're talking about. Santa's the one who handed out the gift, right? You're wrong to thank me."

"Yeah, you are! But I wanted to thank you too!

…………

To Iruna, who said so while Nico, I couldn't say anything, just stroked her head in a crunch.
