A Demon Lord's Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss Chapter 534.4

Chapter 534.4

Lefi looked at each of the toddler items I had bought and said, “Good grief.”

Then she continued, “Speaking of which, what is it that you guys are doing…? Are you almost done?”

“Oh, we’re almost done. We’ve taken care of most of the problems, and we’re on track to hold the event. I’m sure we’ll figure something out. You guys should come check it out. I did use some of the emperor’s power and got a VIP room made just for us!” (Yuki)

“For a man who had always said that being an Emperor was a pain in the neck, you’re pretty brazen about things like this, aren’t you?” (Lefi)

“Well, if I don’t use my power at times like this, there’s no point in working hard in general. I have no patriotic feelings after all.” (Yuki)

I did not want to work for free, even if it was for an ideal, I had no desire to do so for the sake of a country.

Well, I didn’t really want to be an emperor after all.

The talks for that were well underway. The establishment of the provisionally named “0th Order of Knights” would proceed without any problems.

“You are a terrible emperor.” (Lefi)

“I’m a Demon Lord, so I’m only loyal to my own desires!” (Yuki)

I laughed as I said this, and with a little care, I picked up Lefi and placed her on my lap.

Lefi, too, without resisting, rested her body against me.

“So, after attending the Magic Festival, it will be followed by our delivery, and after that, Illuna and the others will go to school as planned?” (Lefi)

“Yes, that’s right, thank goodness Illuna was able to convince Enne.” (Yuki)

“Kaka, that girl (Enne) is always straight to the point and proud of herself. Like a blade that won’t bend and won’t break. Well, she really is one after all.” (Lefi)

“Ah… she does have a cool way of life, and when I’m with Enne, I always think that I need to straighten up my image.” (Yuki)

“You do show a good side of you, occasionally.” (Lefi)

“Oh, you are just thinking that I am being funny, don’t you?” (Yuki)

“If you think it’s funny, why not laugh about it?” (Lefi)

“What’s with this pressure you’re putting on me?” (Yuki)

Why did she become so serious all of a sudden?

“You’re my husband, you know. You must laugh at every little joke to improve the mood of your pregnant wife’s heart.” (Lefi)

“Oh wow! Lefi, that’s indeed so funny!” (Yuki)

“Good.” (Lefi)

“Oh, is that enough?” (Yuki)

Well, I somehow managed to calm her down.

–Sure enough, Enne was initially reluctant to leave me for an extended period of time when it came to attending school, but I managed to convince her on the condition that if I did anything dangerous, I would call her.

It was quite difficult to persuade her, but I was relieved to hear that she agreed.

Layla told me that the best time for Enne and the others to enter the school would be after Lefi and others were due to give birth.

Just a few days ago, I went to the village of the Sheep Horn Clan alone to meet with Layla’s Master, Lady Eldogaria, who was also Layla’s parent, and we had completed the necessary procedures.

…Illuna and the others’ entering school, huh?

I was really deeply moved.

I couldn’t say that I raised them…but I felt that we all worked together to bring them this far.

As a family, we have grown together and reached this point.

And that would continue in the future.

“What’s wrong, Yuki?” (Lefi)

“Well…I was just thinking that Illuna and the others, who were just little girls, are now going to school, and I was deeply moved by that.” (Yuki)

“Kakaka, you said the same thing before.” (Lefi)

“I think the same thing over and over again.” (Yuki)

“Yes, I know. I’m the same way.” (Lefi)

Lefi’s voice was soothing to my ears.

I could feel her weight and scent all over me.

Her weight was a little heavier than before.

“Lefi.”

“Hmm?”

“I am really happy.”

Lefi smiled, kissed my cheek lightly, and leaned her body against me again.
