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

- Built behind the castle, the inn.

"Well... now, my lords, we will hold the Fifth Daughter-in-law's Conference"

Ooh, and a sparse applause happens from the participants.

Nothing, it's not even an occasion to applaud, but seeing Yuki applaud a lot at times like this makes them applaud again often somehow.

"This time, Nell hears more about him while he's over there. I didn't tell the Lord in detail, but that's why we're holding it, Lew."

"Yes! We'd love to hear from your husband."

The participants in the meeting were, naturally, three daughters-in-law. Refi, Lew, Nell.

As usual, Iruna, En, and occasionally Si are added here to sit in nearby listening seats (futons), but only this time they are not taking part in the boulders because the guests are here.

No, this meeting itself is open to anyone but Yuki because discussions from a multilateral point of view are required, and I didn't mind joining the meeting if the guest girl is also willing to participate, but the young girls are not here because they are all tired and have already slept well.

Perhaps we had so much fun making new friends with each other.

Incidentally, Layla is sometimes called here as a reference person, but she does not voluntarily attend this meeting from herself.

From Leffi's point of view, it doesn't seem like she doesn't have a thing for Yuki... but that girl seems to have other powerful desires to prioritize, so I guess she has a low priority for anything else.

"So let's hear about that girl first. Did that girl miss Yuki over there?

"Yeah, like that. Um, I don't know how far you two know, but do you know what happened in the Kingdom of Arysia to the" King's Capital Crisis "that you solved before?

"Oh, I hear from Yuki what happened roughly. Surely, the prince of that country was brainwashed by the demons and eventually turned into a Necromancer's toy?

"We hear the same thing. Kind of a poor prince, isn't he?"

"Yes, yes. So, at the time of the King's Capital crisis, the king and the princess - I mean, Ilil was caught and put in jail. But it was you who helped them."

"... I see we've got a story. Yuki, who came to help like a white horse prince, told me that she missed that girl. I mean, just like your lord."

"Ugh, yeah. Well, you know what?"

I answer that, Nell, with a slight blur.

"Later, well, there's nothing very special about it, but this time I went to Wangdu with you, Master Ilil would be so happy. En and I are getting along and we are getting along pretty well, so she wants to come and visit us with the natural flow. Well, it looks like the first reason was you. So I guess it feels like it's going to happen now."

"... Ilil is a princess, isn't she? You used to allow the king to go out there."

Lew with a frightened look on his face.

"Your Majesty - Well, the king knows who you are and how strong you are. Wherever I let you go, I think it would be safer to be in the castle with you. Besides, Yrill would rather make friends his age than just pull into the castle."

"Kaka, you're not a man who makes thoughtful decisions. Don't you feel comfortable with Yuki? He seems to like the thoughtful."

"Yeah, you seem to forgive me a lot, too. Just in case, I was giving the king an example elixir and a necklace for a dungeon return device."

"Well, that's inside. Did he finally make a friend of the man?"

"Oh, wow, you don't seem to have a lot of decent friends of the same sex. Lil, isn't that about you? Not a human species, though."

"Sure, Master Lil is a male... but if you count that to a friend, your husband, you look a little pathetic..."

"... so is that."

That being said, Lew and Nell overflow bitter laughter.

"So, did you find out anything about him himself?

To Leffi's words, Nell snorts.

"Oh, you don't seem to like dancing."

"So, what?

Apparently the words out of her mouth were unexpected, and Refi looks suspiciously at Nell.

"Huff, yeah, it is. There was a ball over there, but I couldn't dance at all with that practice."

"... somehow you can imagine how it looks."

"Ultimately, you know, the power of the Demon King? So I seem to have managed to gain 'dance' skills. Still, don't you have a sense of rhythm? I couldn't dance well, and I was roaring and screaming and screaming. Sorry for you, but that was cute to see."

Do you remember that time, Nell, smiling with Nico as he talks?

"Hey, wouldn't that be fun to watch? I would love to see it... if I asked you to do it."

"I wonder if I can't. I think I got a bad feeling about it, 'cause I was whining about" I'm never gonna dance again. "

"It's easy to think of that."

And the three of them were about their common husbands, each overflowing with laughter.

Even then, it was a meeting that thrived on events in the Wang capital and Yuki's appearance, turning it into half a chat... but after a while, Nel looked a little serious and cut it out.

"And... sorry, guys. I figured the brave ones would go on. So it happens sometimes to come this way. She still told me..."

"Oh, yeah! Nell, should we go back to the human country?

Sadly, Lew distorts his expression.

"I'm sorry, Lew. Hey, right now, my birthplace is in a mess, and I can't let it go. Until I don't need it... if I can stabilize the country, I'll leave the brave to the next person, and I'll definitely come this way."

And the next person to open his mouth to Nell was Leffi.

"... Isn't that already a decision in the Lord?

"Yeah, I've already made up my mind"

"Yuki's guy, too, you think that's good?

"Yeah. Instead, if you hadn't pushed me back, I wouldn't have decided to kick your ass."

"Well... then I won't say anything anymore. Just don't forget, Nell."

"Huh?"

To Nell with a strange face, Leffi fishes up the nibbly end of his mouth.

"The Lord is no longer a resident here. Hang on, come back. And if anything, don't hesitate to rely on it. It's not Yuki's word... but Nan and the others are inside (...)"

"... thanks, Refi"

Glad to hear it, Nell smiles.

"... Sort of! We're already family! Even though Nell is tougher, we can't cry! As Leffi said, if you have any problems, don't hesitate to rely on them! Even so, there's less we can do than Master Leffi or your husband..."

"Yeah, that's not true. When I look at Lew, it makes me feel so much more fun and better."

"Oh, you want that? Well, hehe... then I'll split our energy into Nell's!

I turned my palm to Nell and said, "Ha ha!" and Lew starts sending some kind of distraction.

To that appearance, Nell laughed couscous, "Okay!," he said, gripping his fist.

"So long, both of you! I took care of you, didn't I? I can't be with you forever... when you get brittle, you two can support me, right?

"Whatever. You seem to be worried about the departed lord, because you disqualify that daughter-in-law of an idiot."

"Yes! I'll take care of it! We'll protect your husband!

The three nodded strongly at each other.
