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

“Oh, this is…” (Lefi)

“? What’s wrong, Lefi?” (Yuki)

Lefi said.

“It’s going to be born…” (Lefi)

“…will be born!” (Yuki)

For a moment, a sense of déjà vu hit me, but it was quickly replaced by excitement.

Then, just like with Riou, things got hectic at once.

First, I rushed back home with Lefi, who was unable to move. Next, I left her in the hands of our adult group and headed to the Demon Realm to get Xena-san.

I was a little calmer because it was the second time it happened, but I was still nervous.

The only difference from last time was that I now had Riou in my arms.

“Well, Riou, your little brother, or sister is about to be born. But you don’t have to worry about that stuff too much, just be nice to one another, okay?” (Yuki)

“Daaah, aaaa.” (Riou)

Riou stretched her arms and legs out to their fullest, touching my arms and face.

At first, I was a little hesitant to hold her, but soon enough I got used to it. Also, I think I understand what she’s trying to say to some extent.

When she was happy, her ears would twitch and her short tail would wag.

Her movements were so adorable. It’s just too cute.

I wondered if she already recognized me as her father.

While I was nursing my daughter, Illuna and the others peeked at Riou from the side.

They were at school today, but they came back just now and were waiting with me, just like last time.

“Hmmm…cute. Onii-chan, whenever I see Riou, she’s so cute!” (Illuna)

“Yes… always cute.” (Enne)

“Riou, when will you be able to speak?” (Shii)

“She’s not ready to speak yet. I’m looking forward to the day when we can have a conversation.” (Illuna)

“…hmmm. I’m looking forward to talking about many things. I’ll tell you all the interesting things I’ve experienced so far.” (Enne)

“Oh…I’ll also tell her lots and lots of stories.” (Shii)

The girls, perhaps knowing that I was feeling a bit nervous, were talking like that to distract me.

I also knew that talking was a good distraction, so I took advantage of it and continued the conversation with the girls.

“So, how’s school going, you guys?” (Yuki)

“Yes, well, you see, it’s interesting!” (Illuna)

Illuna continued her words as if she had a lot to say.

“Studying, Layla taught me many things, but there are many more things in many different fields, and now I’m trying to find what I like!” (Illuna)

“Shii is in a bit of trouble! I’m not an excellent learner…I have to keep my fingers crossed…” (Shii)

“…I enjoy exploring the unknown…I know how Layla feels.” (Enne)

It seemed that little girls were enjoying their studies at Layla’s village more than expected, each saying, “I’m having fun at school! I learned a lot!”

The village of the Sheep Horn Clan was really wonderful.

However, as Shii said herself, she was more impressed by the difficulty level of materials she had to learn at the school.

“Mmm~m~, you guys are so sneaky! Shii is just having a hard time.” (Shii)

“Hahaha, Shii, I know how you feel. I didn’t like studying that much either. I didn’t want to do it. But wasn’t there at least one subject you enjoyed?” (Yuki)

“Mmmm….oh, I think learning about Magic might be fun! Even Shii can understand it!” (Shii)

“Well…then, you should try your hand at magic, even if you didn’t get much out of the other subjects.” (Yuki)

“Yes! Magic, I’ll do my best!” (Shii)

If they didn’t find studying any subjects interesting, school would be a painful experience, but if they could enjoy even one of the subjects… I’d like to think that they could manage.

Also, I wish I had been taught magic in my past life. It would have definitely been fun, that’s for sure.
