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

After finishing my conversation with your master, I left her lab behind - and Layla, who seems to have been waiting for me right away, calls out.

"Demon King, are we done talking -?

"Ooh, you kept me waiting. What about Emu?"

When I saw it, for her sister's sake, who was with me until earlier, Emu was gone.

"That kid went to school earlier because it was time for class - We've been together the last few days, but she usually has a school. He wanted to be with us a little longer."

"Oh...... think about it. Oh well.... so that our kids can send you to school here."

The study, basically, is taught by Leila at us, but still has limits.

The best way to be able to get you all sorts of experience would still be to go outside and let you go to the study hall.

So in a few moments, I guess it would be nice to put it out to a school with a boarding house somewhere...... no, but that's it, I'm a little worried.

Give me the Dungeon Return Device and I'll get you back to us right away... but yeah, if we're going to let them out, will we expand the dungeon area to that location by then?

That way we can connect the doors, and the Irunas will be back any minute.

Yes, this is a harsh world here, a measure to protect your child, and never a parent idiot.

I am not a parent idiot.

"That's right... Emu already goes to kindergarten school here, but given the age of Iruna and the others, maybe it's a good idea to go to secondary school in about two more years."

"Right...... okay, so let's think about it. I go to...... the closest thing to us is a school in the human city, but I figured I'd rather have a school in the demon world. Prejudice won't disappear so easily in the future, even as other races interact more."

"Sure, considering the Irunas, it might be a good idea to do that - The Demon King has a deep relationship with the Demon King, so I think he'll go through the process of Pong and enrollment if you tell him. I recommend the school in this area because it's the highest level of learning, but it's a little far away."

... There's something about Refi, and I'll go talk to him again on my way home.

Even now, it was a big plus for me to be able to bond with that king.

He's a long-lived species, too, and he'll have a relationship for the next hundred years or so.

To think of it like this, I might be quite blessed with my connections.

The only other acquaintances I've ever met are mostly capable people.

This connection is a tremendous asset.

We will have to take care of it in the future.

"Now I really think I've been blessed."

"Hugh, it's because of the morality of the Demon King."

"Hey, I'm glad you said that, but I don't think I have any morality. He's basically a selfish man."

"Really? The Demon King cares so much about everyone in our house, and I feel left behind in one way or another -"

"I'm just acting like a good adult. I can't help myself. - So, lucky for you, no doubt. It's almost a coincidence how Leila and Lew came to us."

Yeah, lucky for you, no doubt.

In this harsh world, I was blessed.

"... again, but it's really good to meet everyone. The fact that I met Leila is one of those things I can't replace."

"Huff, are you dictating -?

"What, uh... stay, well, yeah"

I didn't mean to, but I remember the conversation I had with my master earlier, and I return a bad toothpick.

"What's wrong, Demon King?

"Yes, no, a little..."

Just to answer that, she smiles with a face that sees through my heart.

"I see, now the master has said something about me?

"... you're not going to lie to our women. Yeah, I'll be honest with you already, but when did you talk to me? Because if you stay like this, Leila is likely to stay single for the rest of her life."

"I'm already taking care of my master -... sorry, Demon King. When Refi got pregnant..."

"... All right, all right. You know, you stopped calling me like that, and for now, let's just stop calling me the Demon King."

With that said, Layla punches her eyes, then smiles at her mouth and opens her mouth.

"Okay, so what shall I call you -?

"Yuki, you, your husband, whatever. Call me whatever you want."

"... Yuki, there's something kind of embarrassing about calling it off. So may I call you Yuki -?

"Oh, okay. Then I forbid the Demon King from now on."

"Yes, I understand - Mr. Yuki"

Nico laughs, sheephorn girl.

"... that sounds a little embarrassing."

"Huff, I'm going to light up a little too -"

Me and Leila looked at each other and laughed.

- I don't know what to do about Leila.

I have to talk to my daughters.

It's just... I'm already seeing her as a person.

So I want to make you happy no matter what.

That thought sprang up in my chest.
