A Demon Lord's Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss Chapter 542.3

Chapter 542.3

“Also, I’ve made many friends, and s.h.i.+ and the Wraiths are really popular with the kids at Sheep Horn Village!” (Illuna)

“Yes, it’s a lot of work, but I’ve made many friends!” (s.h.i.+)

“…it looked a bit daunting.” (Enne)

“Ah… an easy scene to imagine.” (Yuki)

Even though Layla may be extreme, it was a common temperament in the Sheep Horn Clan, to a great extent.

I remembered well how very popular they were on previous trips.

“…After all, the village of the Sheep Horn Clan is a nice place.” (Enne)

“Yes! It’s a very fun village!” (s.h.i.+)

“I can see why Layla is so cool!” (Illuna)

“…It’s a nice village. Good village.” (Enne)

There, race and other things become trivial because first, they simply thirst for knowledge.

Illuna and Enne were fine because they looked like humans themselves, but s.h.i.+ and the Wraith girls were a very special race that you wouldn’t see out in the open.

The places where these girls could make friends, study, and spend their days as mere children were… very limited.

I hope they remain friends with that village for a long time to come.

–And then, time pa.s.sed by once more.

But as time pa.s.sed, a little impatience and uneasiness welled up inside me.

It was because it was taking much longer than the time with Riou.

Half a day had already pa.s.sed.

What could be the problem? Was the birth not going well?

With the elixir in place, I doubt it would be life-threatening… but the prolonged delivery would definitely put a strain on Lefi and her child.

Something unexpected happened, something unexpected–.

“Hoo…” (Yuki)

Exhale loudly.

Calm down.

It was going to be okay. The child was born to a high dragon and a demon lord. Of course, the child would be strong and st.u.r.dy.

So, it should be all right. There was no problem.

I told myself desperately, believing in Lefi and everyone else, and just waited and waited…

“–It’s finished, everyone!” (Nell)

With a click, the door was opened.

It was Nell again.

“…They’re okay, right?” (Yuki)

Nell nodded firmly, smiling.

“Yeah, it was a little difficult, and it took a while, but…mother and child are safe. Onii-san, you go, I’ll be watching Riou.” (Nell)

With that, she patted me on the head.

Unknowingly, it seemed that my body had become quite stiff.

I left Riou in Nell’s care and took a deep breath once more to release the stress that had been uselessly acc.u.mulated in my body. Then I quickly left the Inn with the little girls.

Everyone looked tired.

After all, it had been a long delivery, and their fatigue was probably heavier than Lyuu’s.

However – there were smiles on their faces.

I could hear the baby’s cheerful crying.

Xena-san told us.

“It’s a boy.” (Xena)

I looked at the baby, wrapped in the cloth and crying.

It was mine and Lefi’s.

Like Riou, he had dark hair like me.

His physical features, like Riou’s, resembled his mother’s, and he had small horns and a small tail like Lefi’s.

I couldn’t see his wings, but they might be similar to my wings.

“You really made me nervous… hahaha…” (Yuki)

“Who do you think he resembled the most?” (Lefi)

Lefi’s hair was wet with sweat, and she had a tired look on her face that I usually didn’t see at all, but her smile was s.h.i.+ning brightly.

Lefi spoke in a tone of voice that conveyed her innermost feelings.

“Well, well, maybe he resembles some of my wife.” (Yuki)

“Well, even though I have been made angry many times by your recklessness, has there ever been a time when I have made you actually worry about me?” (Lefi)

“No.” (Yuki)

“Then it’s obvious who he resembles the most.” (Lefi)

Lefi smiled at me with a strong, confident look on her face, and I chuckled, saying I was no match for her.

She really was… a good woman.

“Well, Yuki, can you give this boy a name?” (Lefi)

“Oh… sure.” (Yuki)

She said as I touched our little boy.

“Your name will be… Sakuya.” (Yuki)

I gently touched my child’s head, who was crying vigorously.

h.e.l.lo, my son, Sakuya.

Welcome to our family of women.

I have many wives, and you have many sisters, so it might be hard for both of us, but… let’s enjoy this world together.
