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

At a time when Layla and Emu are gone, the master opens his mouth.

"I have about two stories I was going to tell you about being the Demon King... let's talk about your child first"

"... let me hear it"

To the seriousness of her words, I return them with a little nervousness.

"It'll be a little cruel for you. But it's very important, so just keep this in mind. - Children of other races are prone to stillbirth (...)"

"... hoo... is that because the species are different after all"

She snorts as she exhales loudly and asks as she stabilizes her spirit.

"Ah. Never without mixed blood. If you look, you'll be all over there, and there are a few of us, albeit few of us. It's just, still, it's hard to have kids between other races. In particular, I hear that the Hall of Heilong uses special magic to take on the appearance of the human species today. Even doctors won't know what's going to happen."

"... right"

I was, honestly, thinking a little bit about that.

I was born special, and Leffi was born special again.

Even having a child is difficult, and on top of that, it's like we're both selling a fight head-on to biology.

I've never been over it if it's going to be okay... but there's no denying that there's a risk.

"- Even so, this is a normal family story"

The spirits sink a little against me, except the master changed his voice to something lighter than earlier, and he said so.

"... a normal family?

"Now you have more Elixir than you can give people, don't you? Whether Elixir stands in the abyss of God's medicine, death, he can be forced back to the living. With that, at least the mother won't be in danger, and with regard to childbirth, there's a good chance that we can do something about it if we can even have it safely"

With a reassuring voice, your master continues his words.

"The important thing is to have adequate facilities and an adequate healthcare system. Thank you, you seem to have a wide face, and I think if you talk to the Demon King, he'll have the best doctor available. Everyone will want to get along with you who are very powerful."

"... the likelihood of stillbirth is reduced"

"That's the thing. I'm sorry you said something to threaten me. It's just that you're gonna be the big black pillar of the family. I just have to keep that in mind and support the women no matter what. Now, you should be prepared, including doctors."

"Oh, let's remember the liver.... Thanks, it would really help if you held on to that kind of advice"

"Hugh, you're still quite a living baba. I'm good at small sermons."

She laughed and bashed me gently in the leg.

... After all, I mean, I'm just a master of Leila, or a big old lady.

"So... you said we had two stories?

"Oh, there's one more thing I want you to hear. About Leila."

"Layla?"

Then she opens her mouth in such a way that she hears things that are hard to hear.

"Well... what do you think of Leila?

"Huh? Well, you can count on our ultimate weapon."

"The final weapon?

"Whoa, it's the final weapon."

Without Layla, we would no longer turn.

It is our strongest final weapon maid.

"Well... how much do you care about her?

"Well, I think it's important that you die."

"Even though you're not my wife?

"I'm not your daughter-in-law, but I think you're almost a monster. Then it would be natural to be able to do that"

I'm not a saint prince enough to throw my life for others.

But if it's for the face of our house, you can risk your life.

I guess that's what family is about.

To my words, she shuts up for a while, then opens her mouth.

"... Demon King, I want you to listen. Leila is, first and foremost, curious. I just talked to him and he doesn't seem to hate you, and his happiness as a woman - his interest in having a family or anything. It's just not as good as trying to be aggressive from myself. If you stay like this, you'll be single all your life."

... we all know the depth of her desire for knowledge if it's our face.

Well... no matter what you answer to me, I can't say anything because I'm over-conscious, but your master will be right.

There is no doubt that she puts her unknown exploration at the heart of herself, and beyond that, her priorities for anything else fall naturally.

"It's all about that kid choosing. Maybe it's okay to be at your place and dedicate your life to the study of" The Labyrinth "... but I guess I was the guardian of that child, so I have something to think about."

"Uh... a little irrelevant, but your master was Leila's replacement?

"For once. That kid's parents are dying early. So is Emu. We both had talent as researchers, so Atashi took it from us. Even so, they are supposed to be raised throughout the interior, so there will be a few other people besides Atashi who can speak for them."

... I've heard from Layla that she grew up at your master's, but she didn't have any parents?

We live in peace, but this world is still basically harsh - no, on second thought, I lived quite harshly, too.

Before this, I joined the war.

"No, but for Leila, and for Emu, I guess I'm still seeing your master as my best parent. I've never heard anything about you or Emu from Leila."

"Huff, right. I'm glad to hear that. - That's why, uh, what? I already have three wives. I'm also going to tell you. Will you talk to her from you?"

"Ku, dictate"

"Atashi also dedicated his life to research, so I can tell you... there are plenty of days to just follow curiosity, but when I look back, I'm sure there's something a little lonely"

Then the master said, sincerely, in the face of his parents.

"I'm sorry about Baba, but please make her happy in your hands."
