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

― ― Refi noticed Leila's condition when she was working together to finish housework, taking a break, and drinking coffee together.

The room became quiet when Iruna, Shi, and the regiment of Leith's daughters went out to play.

When the two of them were laughing alone, Refi asked in a slightly serious voice.

"... Leila, maybe you're not feeling well?"

"? No, it's not like that..."

Approaching Leila with a strange face, Lefi puts his hand on her forehead, wondering why she thought that.

"... hmm, it's not like I have a fever.But if it's not the way it is, let's just say it.Even if you're forced to get sick, you're still an enemy. "

"... do I look sick right now?"

"Hmm. Every day, we face each other and live together."If you look at your face and exchange words like this, you'll know whether it's in tune or not. "

In fact, the toddlers weren't aware of Layla's modulation.

There was little change on the exterior surface, and I noticed it because it was a sharp observation eye and a refi who was surprisingly attentive to others.

And that Layla wasn't feeling bad at all.

I didn't even think I was in the right mood.

But--that's what Refi said, "Oh, maybe so," I was analyzing myself and reconsidering.

Leila is one of the brightest talents in the Sheep Horn family, so if her brain is directed at the subject, she will understand immediately.

He remembers his own loneliness (...).

After a moment of distress, Layla returned the words to Refi.

"... there's no problem with my physical condition..."But... yes, as Lefi said, it must feel a little bit different from usual mentally.I... it looks like I'm feeling lonely. "

"Is that because there are four of you now?"Or is it because Yuki's (...)? "

"...... Lefi knows me better than I do myself."Maybe it's the latter. "

You can't mislead me.

As a result of analyzing his own emotions, it can be seen that he remembers loneliness without Yuki.

It was a surprising new fact for Layla.

I don't have much interest in others, and I feel lonely just because I don't know him who has lived the search for knowledge first, and I know that he will return in a few days.

I was puzzled by the state of change.

Then, for some reason, Refi smiled happily.

"...... Lefi?"

"Leila, your lord was worried that his emotions might be thin (...)?"I wonder if my heart is more ruthless than others. "

"...... Lefi really looks at everyone a lot..."

Layla smiles like she's in trouble, like she failed to make a smile.

"Kaka, Tsubaki is not the most powerful dragon in the world."That's why the power to sense is the strongest in the world.And then -- and the answer came. "

"...... Answer?"

Refi returns her words with a gentle smile.

"Hmm. Indeed, your lust for knowledge may dominate your interests."But what the Lord has is that it was never all.Your emotions are by no means thin.Your Lord is so loving and warm-hearted. "

Suddenly, ghh, my chest feels hot.

Refi's words soaked into her chest, and tears were about to fade from her eyes.

"Earlier, I said, 'You know me better than I do,' but you don't know yourself.But when you first recognize this about Yuki, you also know that the Lord is a confused servant, right? "

I remember.

She was also puzzled by her emotions.

I was worried about the way forward.

I wonder if I've come to the point where I'm also... troubled by it.

Leila opens her mouth, but the words do not come out, and she closes.

Open it again, say nothing and close it.

In the meantime, Refi doesn't rush, just smiles and waits.

"...... Refi"

Umu

"I also... think I'll go ahead and try..."

Hmm. Tsubaki will always be there for you.

Refi nodded, really happy.

…………

Layla was burning her white skin red and was looking embarrassed.

Her skin was red because it was warmed by a bathing boat... so it wasn't the only one.

"... Leyla"

Yes, yes.

Would you like to sit down a little?

"... yes, I see..."

After getting up from the bath, we do not return to the throne room, which is the living room, but sit side by side on the edge of the inn.

A pleasant night breeze that blows through your skin.

The construction around here is pure Japanese.

It's not that I have feelings for Japanese houses, but I still have something to rest my mind somehow.

I think I've become quite familiar with the other world, but it's still a former Japanese person.

With a little nervousness, I tend to stretch my arms and take the hand of Layla, who sits next to me.

Then, Layla reacts for a moment with a twitch, then entangles her fingers in my hand.

The palm of my hand.

Holding my hand like that with both hands, when I hit my own cheek, I rubbed my cheek like a cat.

Layla is a cool, cool beauty, who is usually very generous.

My uncontrollable emotions emerge from the lovely movement that she makes you feel like you're in love with her.

"Um... what? I can't speak well at all at a time like this... ah, not at all"

"... fufu, but I know what you want to say.Maybe I'm thinking the same thing, too. "

Layla grinned, slowly lying on her body and putting her head on my lap.

"I... apparently, I was able to find an answer."If you understood and realized yourself, what an easy thing it would have been.You look stupid to me, having been troubled from time to time. "

Answer: Is that what Leila was saying in the clan of the Horn of Sheep?

"We're humans."As long as you're alive, you'll continue to be swayed by emotions until you die. "

"...... it's not going to be like this anymore."

"Oh, really."

That's when the words in my head come back.

"--Finish your life, sing for your life."It is the duty of the living. "

Whose word is that?

"Oh, it's a pleasant word from a god I'm thinking of worshipping as my god in the future."Living must be like this... "

Moving emotions.

Laugh, cry, be angry, rejoice.

Complete life, sing life.

I'm alive now.

He's saving his life. He's saving his life.

"Leila."

Yes.

"You and I will live until we die."

"- Yes, until my life is over."

Layla looks up on my lap.

Jewel-like tears falling from my eyes.

After wiping with her fingertips, Layla stretches her arms towards us.

I scratched my face to be guided by her arms.

--They exchanged kisses.
