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

It happened one day.

"Oh, that's the technique that Onii-san is learning right now to suppress signs."

"Ahh, it'll loosen up as soon as I take my mind off it."I know how to do it, but it's not that easy.Refi seems to be doing this all the time, but I can't go that far yet. "

He finishes his work alone in the country and answers Nell when he returns.

Recently, she has been able to return quite often, if not less often than before.

I can come back to my house once a week unless I have time to do so.

You said that you were slowly reducing the work of the brave... yes, as much as I was happy.

"Well, there's no doubt that you're doing something difficult."...... Even so, I don't really know how to manipulate magic in such fine detail even though it's a messy way to use magic, Lefi. "

"Oh, I had the exact same feeling."

The two of them laughed together, and Nell smiled as if she remembered something.

"That's right, Onii-san, I really wanted to tell you this story... but it looks like Leila finally got it too."Hey, let's do it, onii-san!It's a big deal to drop such a tough guard. ”

You said to put it in your hand.

Is there any other way to say it?

"... it wasn't me who made the decision, it was Leila."I didn't do anything, I just accepted.That's why it's Leila who's the big deal. "

Yes, Leila was prepared, not me.

Compared to what she did, what I did was light.

When Nell communicated her thoughts, she laughed.

"Yeah, maybe so."But... fufu, I'm glad to hear it, as far as I'm concerned.Maybe Lefi feels the same way, and Lew feels the same way.Leila... I thought she was my family.I'm glad it's in its true form. "

Nell smiles.

A gentle expression that seems to be happy from the bottom of my heart.

I turn my face away from embarrassment.

"... more than that, I wonder if there was anything you could do for me."

"Ah, yes, it was."Onii-san, you had time today, didn't you? "

Nh, oh, it's okay.

Then she said,

Well then, poison! Let's see what you mean by poison!

"... eh"

"In the Dwarf and Beastman villages, after all, I didn't have time to do it."Yes, this is the only poison I've gathered in the Witchcraft Forest with the help of Lil.Now, let's put out the advanced potions. "

Nell starts to take out herb-like objects one after another from the pouch with the spatial magic I gave you before.

... if you think there's a time when you're doing something in the Witchcraft Forest with Lil here.

While I can't say anything, she prepares herself nicely with the apparently rigged bowls and some other items that she's prepared for.

"... uh, uh, Nell." I did say I'd ask for it... but, suddenly, you're too much and you're not ready for it... "

"It doesn't matter if the opponent is sweet or poisonous!"Now, let's get ready for a drink! "

I don't care if you ask me out for a drink.

And at that time, Iruna and Shi seem to be interested in what we're doing.

"What are you doing?" Yakushi-kun? "

"Honk it out ~"

"Oh, no!" This is a poisonous weed.It's dangerous, so don't touch it. "

The two of them stretched out their hands interestingly to Nell's words and pulled their hands back in a hurry.

"Eh, poison!?"

Dodge ~?

"Yes, if you eat it, you'll throw up, you'll feel bitter and fall down, and your body will turn purple."Also, I'm sure you won't be able to eat dinner today. "

Nell speaks with a scary voice.

"Hey, hey!"

”Shiitake-only slurpy body, it's getting uneasy!?”

"You don't want that, do you?" So, I'm sorry, but you can play outside until evening.Will you tell En, Ray-chan, Louis-chan and Ro-chan that as well? "

Yes!

Then the two of them left, and Nell looked at me with a strange look on her face.

"What? What? Onii-san"

"No, I thought you'd become more and more like a mother."

"...... that's what I'm going to say right now."

A slightly illuminated face, a pounding nell. Cute.

I keep laughing and talking.

"It can't be helped. If it stays spread out, the toddlers will be interested, so let's be prepared to do it."Even so, I don't feel like I can quickly learn to poison myself. "

"It's okay, I know that onii-san has a sharp sensation, so once you feel the smell and taste, your body will learn on its own.In the first place, those two things are easy to remain in the human senses. "

Apparently.

Surely... the sense of smell and taste were intimately connected?

"So, first of all, as a knowledge of the great premise of poison."The poisons used by human species are often divided into nipatterns, which are physical and magical.In this case, this side is the type that acts on the body, and this side is the type that acts on magic power. "

Split the bundle of herbs into two, and explain that to Nell.

I know the flowers and the roots look different, but they look like weeds to me.

I feel that it has a slightly unpleasant smell.

I know that it acts on the body, but with magic power?

"Yes, this is especially true for people with high internal magic power, but even if they are swallowed by poison that causes a lot of damage to the body, magic often works and plays its effects."That's why the poison that disturbs the magic itself is used quite a bit. "

"... the poison that acts on the body, does the magic power play?"

"Yeah, this is common sense for people who make a living from fighting, but more people are overwhelmingly faster to heal from physical injuries than people with less magic power."I think onii-san knows that people with a lot of magic power have a long life, but I think that's the same thing. "

... I see.

The power of magic.

Because of this, we already know that the intensity of life in this world is overwhelmingly higher than in previous lifetimes.

Does that make sense when it comes to poison?

However, if it's an opponent with high magic power, it might not work against the poison that acts on magic power.

"That's right. Especially if you're dealing with someone like Onii-san, you can see that the poison that you dispensed normally doesn't work at all."However, if it is a preparation that deceives (...) the abnormal flow of magic power into normal, it can temporarily be effective.Yes, this. Smell it first, then take a sip. Just a bite. "

That's what Nell put in front of me: a glass of water mixed with the powder made from the poisonous grass.

... with the help of experts, I might have to shed some telops.Don't be a good girl.

I try to smell the smell with my hands as I freak out a little.

Somewhat, really, somewhat sweet.

Then, I'll never take a sip of it.

What do you say?

"... there was a sweet smell. The flavor has a slight herbal bitterness."

Then, Nell gave an impressive expression.

"It's a flowing rock. It's known among humans as a tasteless, odorless poison, and I don't know anything about it, but after all, you can tell by the sharpness of your sense of level onii-san."

Even if you know, you don't have to eat it.

"Oh, but nothing in particular has changed."Is it the type that will show its effect over time? "

Well then, let's give it a try.

Looking somewhat cheerful, Nell placed her hands on my shoulders - Huh?

There is something strange about it.

The tactile sensation itself seems to be moving normally, but there is definitely a sense of discomfort.

How about this?

"I feel uncomfortable. It feels different when I'm touched by you normally."... ah, but it's gone already. "

Nell was still resting his hand on my shoulder, but his strange sensations had already disappeared.

"Just in case, have a drink of Advanced Potion."It should be about half. --Now, something was wrong with your magic.By the way, when I was trained to lick this poison, I couldn't train my magic power well for about 30 minutes, and it was very difficult to move my body.After all, magic and the human body are deeply connected.

"... so, you're okay?"Even if you are a brave man, the race is human, right? "

"Fufu, it's okay." Because this poison is not the type that leaves after-effects.Besides, that's the kind of training I'm going to do.

At that time, I will make sure that the medical system is firmly in place so that there are no after-effects.If I had left behind a serious after-effect from training, I would have been stupid. "

"I see... hey, Nell." I don't really want to interfere with your heroic activities... but please stop training like that in the future.I understand that Nell is a soldier, and I know that she needs more training than that... but I'm worried about your husband. "

In response to what I said, Nell gave a thoughtful gesture and then answered.

"... yes, I will."Well, now that I'm gradually quitting being a hero, I'm not training all that much.Onii-san's right, I'll try not to do anything dangerous. "

"I'm sorry to restrict your actions, but please."... yes, do you want to take one of ours?I think the guidelines are good around here, and I think I can blend in with human society. "

One of our pets is a cat named Bhikkhu.

He's the only female among the pets, and I don't know why, but he's good at holding between the pets.

It feels more free than Lille, who is hard-working, but since she can be attentive and attentive, there is a side that plays the role of a group of three cats besides Lille.

Maybe he's the best in the world.The rules are good.

There wasn't much intimidation in the way of appearance, and even with humans, you could do well.

Of course, as a battle force, I had enough power to match the Demon Realm Forest, so if I took her outside, I should be able to fully help Nell.

"Beep, thank you, but I'm sorry if I only took her with me."Maybe it'll make you feel bad. "

"I see... I see. Well, you can always count on me.If anything happens, don't be shy and just say it. "

"Yes, thank you. Fufu, onii-san is really sweet to us."

"You guys will spoil me."If that's the case, I'll have to answer that as well. "

"... then I'll let you spoil me!"

That said, Nell sits on my lap in the chair.

"... wasn't I supposed to give a lecture on poison?"

I'll do it? Keep it that way.

"... ah, I don't feel like I can concentrate..."

"Eh? No good, I'll whisper it in your ear, so that it's firmly in your head."

Nikonko and Nell's poison lecture with a delightful, demonic smile continued for a while---.
