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

"Phew..."

The king turns his shoulders wide to untie his stiff muscles, then leaves his body deep in the office chair, gently rubbing between his own brows.

Because I kept sitting for a long time, or my body's savings hurt.

"... I guess I'm old too"

Originally, I'm old enough to leave it to the backwards to exit the king anymore... but I'll have to do it harder than I have no backwards.

Thinking that far, he, alone, had a masochistic grin.

- This country's mess. This is too much to blame for yourself.

First of all, that I didn't notice my son's anomaly. No, that even though I was aware of it, I didn't think deeply about why it had happened, and I only thought about it to the extent of the rebellion.

Because of this, it has exposed the country to crisis, given other countries an entrance gap, and led to internal strife.

Because the traces are gone, make new children, and the senators have set me up, but in that case, I will marry a new woman who has already died.

I also understand that it is the duty of the king not to cease to bleed... but honestly, I'm not going to have a new child at this age anymore, and I just lost my son and I can't feel hairy like that.

But it is also certain that the Dukes, who drew the blood of the royal family, are targeting the next generation of kings in order not to try to have children, and that there is a fierce political dispute.

Those two people who are now staying in the castle are fighting and fighting against those who harm them, even though they were merely caught in the stream.

Then you won't be able to make yourself easier than them to say that you are also the culprit of that stream.

"... which, give it a try"

So he opened the lid of the vial he had beside him.

This was handed to me by Pong in a few pieces because that demon king, who is out of shape, seems kind of tired.

They say it's a nutrient, but it's something people like at all.

I can tell you that I am more humane than the irresistible belly blacks in the politics of this country.

I also know that my daughter likes that guy.

One, smiling, and then the king stirs up the vial as a qui...

"Noooo!?

- At that moment, the feeling of blood and flesh being activated and transformed (...) runs through the whole body.

Strength gushes from the depths of the body, pulling the dull pain that was felt deep in the flesh.

Eventually, within seconds, the whole body was full of vitality that reminded me of the full season, and there was no more fine dust like fatigue and other lies.

…………

At a time when he was so awesome and unexpectedly stunned, he was knocked on the door of the concourse and the office.

"Your Majesty, you have a visitor"

"Ah, ah. Let it through."

Answering that to the voice of a familiar butler, the door opens immediately and one man appears from beyond.

"Hey, King."

"... is that you"

It was Yuki the Demon King.

He is now removing the mask he always wore, exposing his face.

Not long ago, I said, "Oh, speaking of which, because I look like this. Nice to meet you" and so on, but I was surprised by the boulder when I found out that the face that appeared beneath it was such a young man, although I thought it would be the age of the youth from my voice.

"... what the hell is this nutrient? It was a little improbable."

"Hmm? Oh, that's an advanced potion. It worked."

The Demon King, in an obvious manner, said so.

"Become!? Elixir!? Ki, you don't know what this is worth!?

It is not a nutrient, that is the national treasure class silo thing.

I remember he used to heal my daughter's wounds when he saved her own daughter Ilil before, but it's never such a good thing to give it to a man without creation.

If you are a small country, national finances will be inclined just to try to get one of these.

"That's your value standard. I don't know. This is crazy. I've already decided not to weigh myself around here."

"... but wouldn't it cost a lot to produce one of these? You're glad you got so much?

"It does cost a lot, but well, don't worry, I have it in hundreds. It's been so mass-produced for a while."

"Hih-"

Unexpectedly breathtaking in that word heard by the Demon King.

"I'm sorry if I don't have a secret medicine or a hundred units of it in Mohan. Oh, you shouldn't think about keeping it warm. Me, item box - no problem because I have the magic of storage, but it usually rots, Sole."

I didn't know what you were talking about in the first half... but I guess the Demon King is still a little different in sensibility from us.

"... I hope you like it. Let's get it appreciated. - So, what's going on?

"Oh, that's bad for the night. There's been a little progress here. Do you have any idea who they call 'My Lord'?

"Hmm... Your Excellency? Speaking of His Excellency in this country, the great Powers will be the ministers. What if it's a mastermind?

"That's a good guess. While Nell and I were out during the day, there was actually a guy who was watching us. I let him swim like that during the day, but he left our surveillance a while ago and went back somewhere. So I tailed after that, and I got to the church."

"What? To church...?

The Church is currently heavily involved in national politics.

Inside, I remember the sense of crisis about it, but it is the current situation that I am unable to take a strong position because there are certainly aspects of the last King's Capital crisis that were helped by the Church.

Among other things, there was a fear that it would seek and move for further increases in power….

"Ah. It seems that one of the great church ladies is plotting to strengthen the connection by strategically marrying Nell to the guy named 'Your Excellency'. He's a brave man, about to let the biggest trump card in the church do that, so I think he's a pretty well-qualified opponent too. So I was wondering if you had any idea."

"... I see. Hmm, I have an idea (...). There are people here who have found it suspicious as I go through a lot of things. And you know I don't have a successor?

"- Ah."

You have a look that only cared for a moment, but soon you return to a flat look, Yuki the Demon King.

Really this guy is... full of humanity.

"...... haha"

"What is it?"

"No, I'm sorry. Nothing. - So, as it is, I will marry a new wife or adopt children from those who will be brought to the royal family. And I will inevitably have to choose the latter more than I intend to have a new child at this age."

"... I see. By adopting a child, you mean the real right to move the country from you to that adopted family? My adopted father said he was going to take power in the back."

"That's the thing. For once, that won't happen in the form of letting Ilil take her son-in-law, because I'm no longer going to involve her in such a troublesome political world. So you can have it."

"Yes, no, let me think about that when Ilil grows up. - I see the story. You mean 'Your Excellency' nasty amongst those who are after that next king's real rights? You sure look perfect in time. By strengthening our connection to the Church, we're trying to gain an edge over the rest of them."

"Uhm. And there are three of them who are about to send their adopted children. 'Minister of Finance', 'Speaker of the House of Lords', 'Minister of Military Affairs'. They are all titles called His Excellency... but what I see is a man named Jaima-Redrios, the Minister of Military Affairs"

"Heh... what kind of guy is that?

"He's a man with a strong sense of patriotism by the time he's biased. It seems that the situation in the country is intolerable. We have long argued that we should teach the country with military instruction in order to make this country even more powerful and prevent other countries from intervening"

"Ah... a typical militarist? You should be careful what he says' for the good of the country 'or something like that."

"Well, don't know me very well. In fact, there are aspects of pushing things forcefully, so I don't want to give that guy as much real power as I can... anyway, he's good and capable. There are many who admire him, and I have to admit that among these three, he has the most strength and track record."

"... that there is a good chance that Soutz is the 'Your Excellency' of the mastermind"

"It's a long story to talk about. I was summing up these three recent trends, but that's what I see. And when I heard your story, the speculation deepened. Assuming that man at the top of the army and the Church, which is getting into internal affairs, join hands, it won't be so hard to take control of this country. Interests are in agreement."

"... By the way, I ask this out of interest, who do you want to leave your country to?

"Right...... I'm still worried about a lot of things, but I personally want to leave it to the President of the Senate. Because he's a man of credibility, and his ability is impeccable. But the Senate doesn't have much real power, so it's gonna be a little difficult."

"Are there any more options for you to continue to be king?

"I'm already sorry for such a troublesome job. I also felt bad about my lack of abilities due to previous disturbances. So, as far as I'm concerned, I just want to stop being a king and leave everything to the rest of us... because we can't do anything too unsolicited to destroy our country, so we have to step on it until the next king decides."

"... when the time comes for you to step out, you want to come visit us for a second? I'll give you some rest."

"Huff. That's good. Um, I'd love to interrupt with Ilil, even then."

With that said, the king smiled.
