Child Rearing Hero and Children of the Demon King Chapter 4

Chapter 4

From the Demon King’s death, to the Hero Yuya, and the demon twins Iric and Ilya, their journey were filled with difficulties.

　To aquire their clothes, they aim for a village.……The sun has set.

　It will take a few more days to arrive at the village.

　It'll be faster if one was alone, but not with children.There strides are different.

「Nii-chan, I'm tired.」

「Onii-san, my feet hurt.」

「Yes, yes. Would you like to take a break?」

　With the same conversation throughout the day, the sun finally set. Yuya was already tired mentally. Taking care of children is harder than it seems, he thought.

「Nii-chan~,I'm hungry. Let's eat~」

「Eh, Oh…I see……」

　Iric pulled his sleeves.　

「Hey, what kind of food do you guys eat?」

　Even if he is a demon child, If he were told that he was eating humans.Would he care?

「Meat」

「Seriously?」

「Meat」

「Really?」

　They also included that they also eat vegetables.

「Eh?…..uh….In other words, you eat regular food?」

「I don't get what you mean, but I want meat.」

「A dish. I also like vegetables.」

These twins have a great preference. Yuya stopped worrying. There are also times when you don't have a choice.

「Well, Only have food preserved for 5 days, so I need to hunt.」

「Hunting?」

「Really?」

「Really.After that, I go to the forest to harvest fruits, vegetables, and other edible things.」

　There is only a certain amount of food for certain amounts of people. It was also lucjy that he was carrying some seasoning.

　Many don't hunt where he is now, so finding a prey is easy, you can also easily pick up fruit quite fast. The problem is where are the Monsters located. It won't be much of a problem if you don't disturb it.

「I'll do it!」

「I'll harvest!」

　Yuya bitterly laughs when they raise their energetic hands, they are still children. If they go too far, they won't be able to be protected. It's better if he leaves the twins here and go by himself.

「No, I'll do it myself. But for what you can do……That's it, collect tree branches nearby for firewood. Don't go too far.」

「Okay!」

「Yes.」

　As they replied, they began to scope the area for branches.

　They are obedient.Are they actually demons?

「The type of tree doesn't matter, just bring what you caa.」

「Alright!」

「Yes.」

　After a while, they bring enough to start a fire.

「Ni-chan, will you lit it up?」

「Ah, that's right.」

「Hooray!」

　Yuya brought out a tinderbox, ready to be used.

「Done!」

　Yuya rested for a bit, then rustled Iric's head.

「……Ah~, perhaps, can you use magic?」

「Magic is magical, it’s also hard to do. Also i’m cold.」

「I can do Ice and water? Maybe Earth?」

　Truly demon kids. Also without chanting.The way they act makes you forget that they are demons.

「Isn't awesome? Isn't it awesome Nii-chan?」

「Ah……Yeah. Wow.」

「Eh~」

　Yuya patted Irics head, he seemed happy and giggled, He wondered if this is how a little brother is like.

「Onii-san, I can also make it disappear. Just tell me when!」

「Oh, yeah. You also did great..」

　Yuya also patted Ilya's head, she was also happy.He also wondered if this is how a little sister is like.

　……He feels that he somehow cheated, as he thinks how cute they are.

「By the way, you guys aren't afraid of the fire. right?」

「No~」

「Not at all~」

「……Well then.……」

　After all, a fire won't keep the demons away.
