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

I haven't heard much about it in my previous life, so I don't know the details, but in a room where classical music flows from a shaped magic prop close to a phonograph.

In a room connected to a large, tidy courtyard, I practiced dancing with Nell as my partner and teacher.

"Huff, take your time in a hurry."

"Ku, ko, this......!

"Look, it's getting hard. Okay?

Nell pulls my hand and turns loosely, laughing with Nico like he's already enjoying himself.

With that, I try to keep up with her moves too... thanks, maybe I don't have all the dancing talent in mind.

I'm not used to it, I'm sure there is, but I think I'm going to step through my own legs again and again from earlier, and I'm going to fall with my legs.

Moving your body to match out-of-the-box music can be tricky, even with this slow movement.

"Ah-to-san, this is for once, a feast or something like that, because that's what we do. So is this one. So don't look so bitter. Smile more."

"Mmm..."

I thought that was what she said and how (more) I pulled in the face and smiled at Nell.

This is the finest shiny face with the refreshing good-looking flavor of the Demon King. I'm sure the women will be mellow too.

Phew...... but bad. My heart has already been imprisoned by certain people, so I can't accept that love...

"... after all, maybe you should stop smiling because it's disgusting"

"You're being frank!?

Nell laughs at me for being stunned unexpectedly, couscous strangely.

"I'm sorry. But you don't make weird expressions, in nature, do you? It's my first time doing this, and I can't help but be unfamiliar with it, because if you look natural, you'll probably delude me."

"Oh, hey, okay. I'll be careful."

I nodded honestly at Nell's words because he was involved with the court as a brave man or was surprisingly familiar with the way things were done around it.

We are practicing dances that are not even patterned because of the upcoming ball, just as we prepared the costumes in the city.

Nothing, I don't care as much as shit what the nobles in this country think, but in human society, the evaluation of the squire is directly linked to the Lord of Germany.

I only know the culture of the court by imagination, and I go straight to the ball, and I get crappy flirting with "I'm subordinating a barbarian who doesn't even know how to do it," etc., and I don't want to offend Nell's reputation unexpectedly.

We don't want to give them a pretext for trivial things, because they'll join us.

So I'm trying to learn the basic practices and dancing as best I can... yeah, well, it's not that easy, is it?

Regardless of the manipulation, I have never done it at all, and that is too much dancing with no hair or experience.

When I said at what level I was bad at dancing, En, who was watching beside me, groaned in a potpourri, "... Ritual? The word" is everything.

There was a boulder, so I'm desperately practicing right now.

I can't deny it's a burning blade, but I want to be able to dance to the point where I'm not ashamed, even if the type En sees me as Zuba for what I thought at least.

"Oh, dear. Let's do that a few more times. It only makes sense if you repeat it."

"Okay, look, Nell. I think I just figured it out."

Yeah. Maybe. I don't know.

"Really? Okay, then let's do it within the context of not forgetting that feeling!

That's what I said, operate the phonograph's magic prop, put the music back on first again, and then stand in front of me, Nell.

I turn one hand behind her hips, take her hand with the other, and twirl around the room again as I rebel my teachings to this point in my brain.

By the way, I talked to the king about whether there was a place I could practice dancing, because I didn't use it, and it's a room in the royal castle that he lent me the whole pong.

Ilil and En are playing together in the courtyard right from this room, and from time to time Ilil laughs bitterly at my unusual dance when he sees how this one is doing.

En is as blurry and faceless as usual, but I'm sure that's the face you're worried about for lunch.

"Yeah, better than just now...... yes, no, it hasn't changed much, but something...... uhm, what is it? I don't know... that sounds strange."

"Mr. Nell, I'm too fluffy to know anything."

Are you getting better or not?

What a strange feeling.

"Grunt..."

I was going to be able to move a little... but I don't have that much time, and if this happens, I'll have to use a last resort.

"... All right, Nell. You'll have to wait."

"Huh? Yeah, fine... Ooh, why is that open?

'Cause I was driven by necessity'

Side by side with Nell looking suspiciously, I manipulate the open menu screen and trade a certain skill scroll for DP.

This menu screen, now, is so that everyone can see the facade of our house, so Nell can see it without exception.

That said, Leila and Root Digging Leaf Digging are the only ones who know what this is, and Leffy is the only one who has the right to operate it.

Leila has come to fully understand the specifications, but other faces, including Leffi, only think of this' transparent board 'floating in the universe as much as the magical ability of the Demon King.

Even if you peek into my screen, you can't read it because it's written in Japanese. The Refi screen will still be understandable because it's written in the language of this world, but you don't know because it's a simple version.

"... OK, Nell. Now I'm ready. Oh, my God!

"Ugh, yeah, okay"

And then again, me and Nell dance around the room to match the music.

But I'm not who I've been.

Step magnificently and follow Nell's guidance and take your feet to flow.

There is hardly any such imperfection in the operation as before, and I am able to make movements that I feel are sophisticated.

"Shh, wow. I'm totally better than I was earlier! What are you doing?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

To Nell, who gives me a surprise look, I answer that with a Doya face, slightly surprised myself on the inside.

This change in me is now (...) due to a newly acquired skill by instilling magic into the skill scroll - 'Dance'.

The effect is that the dance behavior is refined as can be seen from the skill name.

Skill levels have also been raised to three at once. Skill level 1 could have made no sense at all, like previous swordsmanship skills.

Nell doesn't have these skills, and if he's a normal guy, he can seem to do about an easy dance even if he doesn't have any skills... because he didn't seem to have any talent for me and doesn't have much time to practice.

So this is a necessary expense and in no way a waste of skill points. Yes. Glad I saved it for a time like this.

Until now, if it is outside the dungeon area, the power of the dungeon will naturally not be extended, so it is impossible to use DP manipulation or skill-related items due to functional limitations... Is it about the time Lew's clan returned from the Demonic Forest?

Since that time, it has been possible to carry out operations around the dungeon, even in areas away from the dungeon, so that skills can even be acquired 'outside' in this way.

Perhaps I am becoming the equivalent of a dungeon myself. The power that was originally reserved for the dungeon is getting ready for me as I grow.

In other words, it's a 'human' dungeon by the name of the Demon King, derived from the Dungeon of the Demonic Forest, which is a great dollar.

That's how close I am to being in the dungeon right now. Because I'm a modified demon king, not a modified person.

Fuhahaha, the Demon King continues to evolve every day.

If there's something missing, you just have to make sure it's enough.

If you can't dance, you just need to acquire the skills to be able to dance. Vive la France!

and spinning the word as Nell nicks as he speaks Hail France to our overwhelming victory.

"Great, you can go to the next step with this."

"... eh. Isn't that it?

"No way. It's just the beginning. I was a little nervous about being able to tell you everything, but I was wondering if I could figure this out by the day."

"... by the way, how much more do you remember?

"Um, about thirty items? So let's do our best! I'm staying with you till the end."

"... hey"

I grabbed my fist cutely, and to Nell, who said so, I couldn't say anything, I just nodded honestly.
