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

- In an inn in the meadow area.

"Again this year, this season has arrived...... Refi, Lew. You know what season it is?

"It's not a season where you are allowed to eat lots of delicious food in luxury. Today's meal was delicious and sumptuous."

"It's like a season of decorating a lot and getting kind of wussy. I knew just having dinner in a slightly different space than usual would make it fun ~"

I deny them saying such heartless things.

"Say no!! Look, this is Christmas!! In other words, the season of the codename SANTA!! Time for battle!! The time has come to show our professional arms how to distribute gifts unnoticed by the young girls..."

Yes, Christmas is just tomorrow.

About a week ago I finished preparing the tree with the toddlers, manipulated the weather in the meadow area to snow, and ate some delicious food today, which is Eve.

But - for adults, the Christmas production starts here.

I can tell you how exciting it is for the kids, that's what Christmas is all about.

By the way, we've already changed into the costumes we deserve for Christmas.

Last year, I was sure that me and Leffi were Santa Cos, and Lew was Reindeer Cos, but this year me and Leffi are Reindeer Cos, and Lew is Santa Cos.

"And to make sure it's complete, we're also calling for a new crew this year. - Come on, come on, Agent Nell."

"Ugh, yeah."

Yeah, when I call, Nell shows up from across the hall waiting.

"Oh! Pretty!

"Um, it looks good on you. Again, this kind of costume fits best with your Lord"

"Oh, hehe... thanks"

To the compliments of the two, Nell of Santa Cos gives his thanks as he flickers.

I, too, am so cute that I flattered myself and indulged her bored before I got here. That was the best time.

... I honestly think of the word cute when Nell cosplays, but I wonder why when Refi and Lew cosplay, the word 'story' comes to mind first, no matter how cute it is.

If I were to be silly and honest about this, I'd say, "You treat me differently!" Though I would never speak of it because there is a good chance that I could sink into a demonic forest by two beautiful people.

And Layla, who isn't here, is currently preparing me for an adult Christmas party that I did last year as well.

Nell was also a rear officer last year, but the experience of that time predicted another death fight, so I asked her to come here as well.

Thanks to the existence of a backup called Leila, we are able to engage in operations without the worry of hindsight...

"Where we have all the personnel, let's explain the operation! The goal is to place gifts on their pillows in secret while keeping the young girls from finding out who they are!

"I think they've already noticed."

"Shut up. Adults shouldn't give up on these things! We must give our children dreams with constant effort!

"Oh, that sounds good, your husband."

"Yeah, I think I like your place, too."

"Thank you, you guys. - As you all know, our young girls have sensibility and insight without any children. Even if we pay close attention, they'll notice with really slight noises"

"Why are those kids so good... when I was about those kids, I wasn't so smart, and I couldn't use magic. I guess you're more fit to be a brave man than I am."

My kids, you can use magic normally.

"Haha, that's what we do. Well, if your husband, Master Refi, and Leila were educated in brilliance, wouldn't that happen naturally?

"It can't be all that well done. I know you feel the love of the Lord, but I hope you grow up healthy and big."

"Oh... if you grow up healthy in your body and mind, that's enough"

"... right. If we had children... we would have raised them like that."

"... okay. That's when I'm gonna have a sturdy baby!

"... um, yeah. We need to have a healthy child and work together to raise her to be a good child."

"Oh, hey... please don't"

…………

And visit, silent.

We face each other in an unspeakable, embarrassing mood.

If I stay like this, I'll cough up even bigger to blow that air because I was about to get the most damage.

"Gohon, uh, it's a continuation of the ops conference for now! In charge, Iruna and Si are Lew, En is Refi, and Reis, my daughters are me and Nell. - Okay, let's go. Operation started!!

"Wow, I did it! A gift!"

"... mmm, when"

"Try it, rubbish! Once I had it, it was all over the place, no! Did you give me this?

Toddlers shaking their mouths when they saw the gift that was on their own pillows.

The unspeakable Lace daughters are also dancing with joy for the three of us.

"No, no, it's not me. I'm sure Santa gave me a present when she saw it because you guys were being nice."

Look at the delightful toddlers, and I answer that with a sense of accomplishment in my chest.

Using last year's reflection on death fighting, we managed to accomplish the operation peacefully this year, either because we were fully prepared to hit it.

Hmmm... it was a big success how you scattered the consciousness of your sleepless Rayce daughters.

This know-how is likely to be available in the future.

and Lew next door, overflowing with potpourri and words.

"... when I look at this delight, it also feels like I know that your husband will stick to each of these events. I knew you'd be so happy when those kids were happy."

"Right? It's good to see kids laughing."

Adults other than us, by the way, are still asleep.

I was making a scene late last night, so I'm basically the only one awake who needs less sleep thanks to the power flowing in from Lew and the dungeon, which is always early in the morning.

That look, maybe he's asleep until after lunch.

"... your husband"

"Hmm?"

"Well... when we have kids too... you want to raise them to be healthy"

"... ah. Right."

I hold her and rub her hair when she says it with a light face.

- Totally... our daughters' cuteness is, as always, the best in the world.

As I always thought, the best daughters I've ever had.

Take care, we have to.

For a while, after I followed her like that, I spoke to her.

"Well, I'll get ready for breakfast. There's a bunch of grown-ups going down, so we have to do it ourselves."

"Huhuhuhuhuhu, I'll leave you to bake bread!

"You, you just chin in the oven."

And we headed to the kitchen side by side.
