It was the children's garden that brought Asuka. Urbano is often here, and the children's park is a stone's throw away.
Asuka was surprised to hear that it was on the grounds of the Demon King's Castle. It was worth the time to show them around. You're really good at listening because you're curious about everything.
"Heh, this is the children's garden." It's a great place to gather and play at the same age. I admire it. "
"I know how that feels. We didn't have many children around us who were close to our age, both environmentally and racially..."
And I know how it feels. Even if the adults around you try not to get tired of it, and sometimes meet children of the same age, there's no place like gathering a lot of children of the same age at once.
I never thought I'd miss a normal school in my previous life. I don't remember much about how I spent my time now.
As we stepped into the children's garden, the children who were playing in the garden noticed us and rushed over. Oh, cutie!
Who is this guy while he's surrounded? It is Asuka who attracts attention. People who see it for the first time are concerned. Especially if it's such a sparkling beauty.
Of course, some of them know how to hide behind me. Either way, she's cute.
The children surrounded me with questions, but that was Asuka. With the ease and bright tone of my hand, I quickly got along with the children.
I knew it, but it was amazing. Well, it's no longer enough to call me a friend. Squishy!
Alright, Asuka can be your friend in no time
Huh? Even Meg is close to everyone, right?
"I'm close, but..."
There is a good reason for my regret. Because, because!
"Meg-sama! Hello!" Please take your time! "
"No, it's Meg-sama!" You were supposed to be here today! Ugh, it's as beautiful as ever! "
I admire you. It's already hot. "I'm so happy, I'm so cute, I appreciate it...!" No matter how hard I try, I can hardly get along with my friends.
"Ah... somehow I figured it out." I'm going to admire you more than a friend. "
"I tried my best to make friends here..."
Of course not! I know how everyone feels.
However, I'm not likely to be a casual friend. The demons were attracted to power, so I had no choice.
It's okay, I'm giving up. I was prepared to behave properly as the next Demon King. I wasn't ready to become a demon king. No, no, no, no.
"No, Meg-sama! And Asuka...!"
"Wow! What, Urbano!? Wow, it's getting bigger than I expected!"
When I was slightly depressed, Urbano came from the side of the building. It's getting really big! I've seen you more often than Asuka, but it still surprises me, so Asuka would have been even more surprised.
"It's been a long time, Urbano!"
"Yeah, I've been exchanging letters, but it's been a long time since I've seen you."
"What the hell, you got a really bad muscle on you." I envy you. No matter how much I work out, I won't be able to do it like that. "
Asuka hits the body with considerable momentum, and continues the conversation normally without difficulty.
I was surprised that Asuka didn't do anything even though she's a power type, but Asuka doesn't seem to care.
Well, it's true that Urbano has improved a lot, and I can see right away that it's going to shake.
"But we still have a lot of strength." I don't have the technical skills either..... "
"I see? Oh, that's right. Let's meet during your stay! It's going to be training, right?"
"Are you sure? I'm glad. Then please."
Often, let me watch the boys cheat with Nikon. A sparkling elf boy who looks weak and militant, and a giant friend who looks strong and conservative and good... Both have in common hard-workers who love training.
Now that you're on track to start training right away, it's time for you to speak up.
"Wait a minute, both of you. We'll do the training later! You're going to show Asuka the castle, right?"
Ah, that's right!
Asuka laughs as she scratches her head, apparently intending to start training now. Absolutely not. Well, that's good!
"So, Urbano came with me to ask you out." Of course, I have my father's permission! "
"Are you ready to take root? Meg didn't have any enemies. Hehe, then let me join you."
I'm serious about Urbano, so I thought I'd be reluctant to ask the demon king if he could help with the children's garden! Seems like a great success. Fufufu.
Therefore, Urbano, Asuka and I rushed to the castle town!
As I was prepared to say, the city has been surrounded many times. However, I received delicious rice and snacks, flowers and ingredients every time, so Asuka was always in a good mood. "There's a place like this where you can feed her food...!"
Besides, I had a great time listening to how the city looks and fashions, how the children look, and my father's reputation. Even Urbano was lit up by a lot of people slapping his back.
I'm a grown-up Urbano who can already be said to be an adult, but I'm a little relieved that I feel like a child who is old enough to look embarrassed.
I don't think you're going to miss me. "It's just a little..."
"Haa, the people in the castle town were all kind!"
"Asuka, you got so many things...?" It might have been more than Meg-sama. "
We continue to laugh as we walk through the city to the park on the hill.
Asuka has a gift to offer. I want to follow you, too.
"Besides, I was a little misunderstood."
Misunderstood?
It's unusual for Asuka to say something with a slightly punishing look on her face. I closed my eyes with Urbano and then looked into Asuka's face.
"I thought it was hard for the demons to get closer." The Demon King is the only one! Long live the Demon King! I mean, there was an image..... "
"Oh, I don't think that's wrong."
In fact, the people in the castle town are Demon King supremacists. Once you speak ill of the Demon King, you will be able to gaze at him with a cold gaze, and I think he will be attacked if he is poor. In fact, he is an extremist.
But, you know, I kind of get what Asuka wants to say. Maybe you thought it would be harder to get close.
"Somehow, I was thinking of people who were different from me." I wonder if it was this feeling that humans misunderstood the people of the demon continent. "
Yeah, I see. Maybe it feels the same. Such misunderstandings are hard to understand unless we actually meet and deal with them. I really felt it when I traveled the human continent.
"I was glad to be here, but there's so much I don't know yet."
“That's right, there's so much I don't know.”
"I-I think I'm even more...!"
Yes, there's a lot we don't know yet. Sometimes you have to know a lot of things, but you want to avoid deciding what you don't know just by imagining it.
Even if you're careful, you're often subconsciously assuming it.
"Let's get to know each other from now on." We're in sync, right? "
"Sync...?"
"Whoa! Sync!" That sounds good, that sounds good. "
Urbano tilted his head at my words and Asuka agreed happily. I'll tell Urbano that I don't know him well.
"I mean, we're the same age, right? I mean, we can grow together."
"We can grow together... oh, my friend!"
As expected, Urbano waved his hand to the side in a panic. Because I'm still too young.
I thought you were going to say it. Asuka also shrugged her shoulders. Then I punched Urbano's shoulder lightly.
"What's the difference in strength?!" If I say that, I can't beat Meg with my magic power, and I can't beat Urbano with my magic power. "
"Eh, that's not true..."
“That's how it is. Truth be told, but I never thought I was weak or bad. I'm the only one who can do it, and I'm confident that I can help."
Asuka put her hands on her hips and stretched her chest. That's what it is. That's the great thing about Asuka.
You know yourself well enough to never lose confidence. That's not an easy thing to do.
“Isn't it in Urbano? I'm confident. I can tell you that's how you serve Meg."
"N-no, I can do something myself!"
"Oh, keep it up!" Right? That's why we're rivals and allies. Got it? "
"Ugh, okay, okay."
And I quickly convinced the unsure Urbano. It's impossible to imitate such a place. This is something that Asuka can only do.
"Cool, Asuka."
"Huh!?"
Ah, it looks like it's coming out of my voice. Asuka turned around in great amazement.
"Yeah, it's cool, Asuka."
"Huh, even Urbano!?" Hey, stop it! I'm definitely cool, but if you suddenly say that, I'll be embarrassed! "
Oh? Unusual. I can't believe Asuka's face turns bright red. We may have seen something valuable!
