"Hah...."

I thought this was the tenth sigh in my head.

Even so, I'm not the one who's sighing.Fortunately, there is no such thing as being so thoughtless.

Sighs are caused by Pecora.

Today Pecora exhales with a gruesome sigh.I don't know whether I'm aiming for it or unconscious, but I'm sure I have a lot of sighs.

That day, I was called to Pecora's tea party.

The place is a table in the courtyard of Vanzeldo Castle.It is unclear whether it was prepared for this occasion or whether a table was originally installed in this garden.

There are sweets and tea sets on the table.

Tea is delicious. Sweets are also delicious.

Seems elegant, but the garden plants have some poisonous colors, so they don't look that good.I think it's growing like attacking humans.

Apart from the plants, and in other ways, I always tea with Pecora in an environment of tea parties.

However, the talks are not very spontaneous.

"Hey, how's work these days?"

"That's right, it's a bump."

What's the weather like in the Demon Realm these days?

"That's right, it's a bump."

"... is tax revenue increasing?"

"That's right, it's a bump."

With this state of affairs, the topic will soon be cut off.

I don't have advanced talk technology to pull stories from anyone, but I think everything is Pecora's problem.

Hmm... I thought tea was an important part of the conversation, but it's more enjoyable than meals...

I like the sweets because they are delicious, but I'd like to eat them quietly by myself.As it stands, it looks like Pecora is distracting you from concentrating on your meal.

But he said, "Is there something you're worried about?I don't ask.

I'll never do that!

That's what Pecora's after, I think.

When asked by me, there is air that is difficult to refuse when asked for something.I wonder if we could use it to do something about it.Rather, I can't think of anything else.

I don't think there's any intent in sighing at this pretense...Pecora always has a plan.

I'll keep acting dull here, too.I won't be deceived so many times.

"Hah...."

Ah, the eleventh sigh today.

Don't say you sigh a lot.

There are times in your long life when you sigh a lot. I won't ask.

Hey, this cake is delicious ~

I went with a character I didn't realize.This is my exorcism.

"I know that the sponge part is moist and you're not letting go!"

"Hah... hah..."

I sighed twice this time!Unprecedented type of reaction!

"Oh, it's been the thirteenth sigh."

You were counting!

Then, I put in a stick from my side.But I didn't ask specifically, so let's think about it as safe.

"Thirteen is a lucky number for the demons.I was going to count to thirteen. "

"I don't feel lucky to hear it from me, but it's a cultural difference."

However, I think it was only in Europe that the thirteenth was considered ominous in the previous life, so perhaps Japan would not have had to worry about it.In other words, odd numbers tended to have better luck.

It is such a fluffy problem to take the edge with numbers.

"And I sighed thirteen times, so I decided to talk to onee-sama with all my heart."

Hey! That's the way you say it!

However, it is terrible to ask you not to consult anything, so there is no way to deal with it!

"To be honest, I just wanted to ask onee-sama if something happened because she was just sighing.It seemed suspicious, and I was avoided. "

"My crisis detection skills were excellent!"

Pecora's face was nauseous, and she said, "Please play a onee-sama role in that kind of place." But if you deal with it with dedication to such a degree, there is not enough body.

There are a lot of subordinates, and I want you to solve them mainly.

"Actually... hah"

Oh, here comes another sigh.

"I'm thinking of taking a break."

Pecora answered with a rather disturbing expression.

Rest? No, it doesn't mean you're going on a trip somewhere in three consecutive holidays.

So... you're going to stop the administration as the Devil King?

That's really important! I want to talk to you!

Besides, I can't easily consult with my subordinates.Even if the rumor spreads, there will be a violent earthquake in the society of the demons.Too much standing can have political implications for the consultation itself.

I understand your decision to consult me.

"Hey, Pecora, are you so tired of the work of the Devil King...?"

But Pecora looks like she doesn't know what she's talking about.

"No, I'm not particularly dissatisfied with the work of the Demon King.It's fun, it's fun, it's governing. "

Oh? My concern seems to be misplaced.

It doesn't seem to be a big problem that you want to quit the Demon King because it's impossible to lie after all this consultation.

So what? Speaking of other activities Pecora is doing...

There was something that came to mind lightly.

It's a magical, Tuber-like activity!

Some people in the world may earn a lot from Tuber, but in Pecora, the work of the Demon King is never a side job.In that regard, I don't care when I stop delivering magic.

Nevertheless, even if I wanted to continue, I wondered if I was too busy to do both.

If that's the case, I can't give you the answer right away, but I can talk to you.

"You want to take a break from magic broadcasting.Because you're busy with work? Or did you have any other problems? "

Again, Pecora has a face that she doesn't quite understand.

"No, I'm going to continue to deliver magic.It's also good to grow your subscribers. "

"That's right... So, what are you trying to rest?"

I wonder if you have a more plain hobby.I thought it was a visit to a confectionery shop.

Pecora's expression becomes serious.

"It's just idle activity!"

"Speaking of which, you did the same thing!"
