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

- At breakfast, I immediately noticed discomfort.

"Refi, I want you to take the soy sauce!

"Here."

A bottle of soy sauce that was in front of me, a refi that passes to Lew.

"Yet, um... why is this delicious when it's just a dish with lightly added ingredients to the bread"

"Huff, it's not that hard, so I think we can make it for Refi too -"

That's what Leila answers to Leffi, who roars while eating bread like pizza bread, grinning and laughing.

- Lew and Leila are not calling Leffi "Dear", they are calling him by calling him out.

Yesterday, I seem to have been doing something that's going to be another daughter-in-law meeting... so, is something wrong?

You must have noticed that look on my face, Leffi calling out.

"What's up, Yuki?

"No... I thought we seemed close."

"Huhuhuhuhuhu, you look like a family! It's only natural that we're close!

"Right. Whatever Leila is, Lew's still a little lighted up, though."

In a teasing tone, Nell says so.

"I'm going to, I'm going to! Nell, you said you wanted to be able to really call your husband 'you', but you were embarrassed and still couldn't."

"Wow, I told you that was a secret story!

"Nell, you're behaving badly."

"That's right, Nell. Hey, you can't stand in the dinner, can you?

"Me, yeah!

Iruna and Si embarrass Nell, who stood up in a rattled chair in an unexpected manner, following Leffi.

"Gu, gu... Lew, remember..."

"Well, you don't know what you're talking about."

Lew turns his cheeks red and turns his face away from this sight to Nell, who is likely to resent him.

We laugh at their interactions like that - and I remind Nell to ask.

"That's right, Nell. How long can you stay over here this time?

She coughs up one with Cohon so she can get her mind back on it and answer my words.

"I'll be here until we're done with Lew. I just can't maybe come over here for a while afterwards. This time, I've really got a lot of work to do."

"Nell...... thank you. Apologize. I want you to flush it down the water."

"I won't flush that, though."

"Yan."

Laughing with all my heart again, our morning started.

- Then, two days later, a group appeared, supposedly of the Guilol clan.

After checking the map, the Warwolves are still here.

When I tell everyone that Lew's relatives are here, I leave the house to pick them up.

"This... looks like you should hurry."

Apparently, they came nearest here, near Alfiero, a city of humans I've been to many times too.

That city must have had a slightly exclusive aspect in its long-standing hostile relationship with other races.

As far as the map goes, it doesn't look like it's an emergency because it doesn't look like we're fighting or being surrounded by soldiers... however it is, we should hurry.

I instruct my pets to assemble at the border between the Demonic Forest and the City with the "Far Talk" feature, and I also use the door I set up inside the Demonic Forest to descend into the vicinity of that city.

There doesn't seem to be any danger to them right now, and I won't fly with my wings considering that it's near a human city, and from there I run quite seriously - forward, I can see the city.

"- What, that?

Wolff and the others quickly discovered.

At the front gate of the city, I'm having some kind of exchange... but I thought I was wearing a hood exactly, and I was getting those ears and tails out of my mind, and people coming and going are sending me a burly curious gaze.

And with them... Alfiero's lord, Raylow, is it?

"- Lord Yuki!

As I approached him, he noticed the presence of this one over there, and Raylow raised his voice.

"Long time no see, old lord. Lew's dad hasn't seen him in a year. Looking good, above all."

"Oh, long time no see, Demon King. I've been delayed from coming over here than I promised for a year. I'm sorry."

Cochlear and nodded, Lew's father answering so.

"No, I'm sorry about this one. Looks like you were in the war, but I couldn't say hello..."

"Um, I'm pretty sure I wanted a word. But that... what? I hear you've been busy a lot. Let's not say anything about this one."

"It would help if you could say that."

This is how I feel talking... Lew's father's tone feels a little stiff compared to before.

Say you have a bad tooth cut, or what?

It's not about other people's behavior, but it's a response that feels a little distant.

I'm nervous, it doesn't seem like it...

And, thinking about it, the woman standing next to him opens her mouth.

"Woof, this guy, Yuki, I was able to make it, but my pride got in the way and I honestly can't thank him enough. I really appreciate it."

"Yes, no, that's not why... you say we should take care of our relationship more than becoming stepsons..."

Lew's father, who looks a little pitiful and feels like a goño goño and a mouthcage.

This exquisitely headless feeling, possibly......

"Uh... at Lew's parents?

"Yes, I'm Lew's mother, Rosiela-Girol. Looks like your daughter's taking care of you."

Nico laughs, Wolff woman.

Sure, he looks a lot like Lew when he sees it this way.

All the Warwolves look youthful, but she's also a beautiful woman who doesn't leak into the example and doesn't look like a child.

"I say Yuki. Your daughter is very helpful in keeping her day busy."

That's what I say, I bow my head to Lew's mother.

"Oh, thank you for your kindness. If you say that about that girl, even for me, there's still something to be glad about."

"... Demon King, isn't that quite the difference between my time and my response?

"... that's not true"

I look away from my father's gaze.

Well...... right.

I can't tell my mother anything.

That's what a man is, isn't it?

I cough up one gophone to delude myself and keep the word going.

"Uh, you said you were born? Thanks to you, I remember doing something in particular..."

"You gave the Beast King a mouthful, didn't you? So, what..."

"You, if you don't speak more properly when you thank me, I won't tell you."

"... has made it possible for my clan to hold key positions within the Beastman clan. I appreciate it."

"Uh, I see... well, if you could help me, this is more than anything."

That's what I say, overflowing with bitterness, about how Lew's father seemed so difficult to do.

With that said, you said something about dealing with that Beast King, the Guilol family.

Is that a relationship?

And so I turn my face to the old lord, who was laughing delightfully at us.

"So... how come the lord's old man is with his fathers? Or can I expose my species to such grandeur? I don't think this city was very close to other races..."

"Um, shameful, but you're right. However, the way this city is doing is undergoing a great transformation because of the war in which you participated."

That's what I said, the lord's old man started talking.

- Apparently, they were chosen as messengers for inter-racial exchanges by the Warwolves.

He said that this country, a human state, was also going to start accepting other races in order to start interacting with each other in earnest in the future, but that the city was chosen as one of the venues for that exchange.

And thanks. There, they have something to do with me, too.

Because it seems that me and Nell's frequent use of Alfiero here as a front door has come to the fore between King Reid and the Demon Kings.

If I make this city a place where other races can walk, I'll be able to walk here, too, well blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I'm going to have a subtle bitter laugh... well, let's not say anything.

I appreciate you caring.

Also, they were chosen as their messengers by Wolwolf because they make connections with me through Lew.

As I said earlier, thank you. They seem to be used heavily in the future, and they are going to go as far as the Demonic Forest anyway, so they were meeting with the lord's old man this way.

The reason I was late to come was because of something about the job.

The effect of that war is that we are visiting the city as soon as possible.

"At all, every time I see you, you're amazing. In addition to definitely changing times from now on, there are warriors with demon kings and confused people like mountains about what's going on. Every day to me, every consultation comes in like an arrow."

... a little over a week after the war was still over, was that already happening?

"So be it, Demon King. Actually, we were just about to talk about work. Despite the fact that you picked me up on purpose, I'm really sorry..."

"Oh, was it a little bad timing? Okay, if that's the case, let's get back out there."

Well, were you at the entrance and exit of a city like this because you just got here?

"Uh, should I look at it for, like, two days?

"Um, it would be very helpful if you could do that. Come to this place in two days, at the same time."

That's how I left them and turned back to the dungeon.

... That's it, I want Lew's dad's response to me back more normally by two days.

I see a lot of grinding in him, and there's a lot of hard stuff to do over here.

You can talk to me more like I used to... maybe his thoughts as a parent, his thoughts as a chief, and the complicated emotions that they interact with and swirl around his chest.

"Parents..."

One person, Pottori and I muttered.
