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

"Absolutely… my liver is cold free. I didn't know you were even in the Hall of Dragons... Reid, the brave man of your Lord is the one who married the great ones."

Reid, king of man, replies with a delightful laugh to the somewhat dazed words of Naphorase, queen of the elves.

"Huff, as long as you can count on it, it seems to be growing more and more these days. Young people grow up fast."

"That's right... and, as far as I'm concerned, I'm also curious that Mr. Heilong and Naphorase are familiar. Apparently, we've been hostile once, but how did that happen?

"... Surely it was about ten years after the rest reigned queen. When I was on an occasional expedition, she suddenly came down nearby. I thought I was going to be attacked, and I tried to die for nothing, and apparently the purpose was to grow a fruit tree nearby.... to a boulder, I don't know, that's..."

"Uh... I don't know what to say... that was a disaster"

A demon king who says that in an indescribable way.

I'm sure if Yuki were here, she'd say, "You're totally wrong, asshole!" I would have scolded her.

Yes, when the kings are bickering in the conference room, they knock on the conn and the door.

After I got permission to enter, I came in - Chief of the Female Saint Knights, Carotta.

"Excuse me. We're done analyzing the information."

"Whoa, you're here. - So, what are your views?"

"Ha. To compile the information obtained by interrogating the former brave man of our country, Remiro, it seems that the land of man who is cooperating with the demons is the 'Logardo Empire'"

To the words of the Demon King, Carotta said so.

"The Logardo Empire...... sure, was it a supreme human nation in the South?

In answer to his query, Reid.

"Yep. There, too, has been a long-standing dispute with the demons who do not live in the demonic world... but since the emperor changed in the next generation, we have also started to wage war on the surrounding human states and swallow them one after the other. I was wondering if there were many possibilities that I was thinking very differently from my predecessors."

"A racist nation that was supposed to be in contention with the Demons is now working with the Demons, he said. Mr. Reid, is that country hostile to you?

"With distance apart, there is no direct confrontation, but indirect hostility. We support countries between our country and his country."

"Hmm... is it a buffer substitute? Nushi is also a king."

"Naphorase, that's a bad word."

To the two words, Reid smiles bitterly.

"No, because it's actually like that. If we were to border the current Logardo Empire, a total war would be inevitable."

"I think it's a good decision. War between the great Powers is much smaller and will surely cause chaos on this continent.... Well, that might be what we're here for."

…… Confusion is what this is about?

To Reid's words, the Demon King nods cocklessly.

"I don't know, as far as I'm concerned, the impression is that the kid in that country looks like he's trying to break the existing framework. Until then if I say I'm just ambitious, but from that planning, I can see (...) something (...) like I'm about to (...) exchange (...)"

"... planniness? Because even if you expect the rest of your enemies to be stupid, you can't help it. - I can't do much longer than that. Let's hurry up and get ready so we can send reinforcements. Is there already an area that has been raided in the demonic realm?

"When you get back, make sure you can get reinforcements out of our country as soon as possible"

"It'll help.... We may have misjudged the speed of the enemy's movements. The fact that humans came after the demonic attacks means that the other side is already helping each other militarily. Let's hurry up and shape this alliance."

- After lunch, I started exercising after dinner and said, "I want to go with you!" He was taking Nell to the woods around the inside of the elf.

"Nfu."

"What are you in the mood for?"

"Well, of course you're in a good mood! 'Cause you and I are alone."

Nell entangles his fingers in my hand, deposits his head on my shoulder, and leaks a happy voice "hehe".

... Here's the thing, when you can honestly be sweet, you still have something to be happy about as a man.

I just want to ask you one thing, Mr. Nell, but for once, aren't you on official business?

Other soldiers, though they seem to work normally.

No, of course it's great to be with you, so I don't mind. Does the scope of the lunch break mean that it is still okay?

By the way, Leffi and En seem to want to see each other inside, and they're not following us.

Maybe you've shunned me from Nell.

"What are you going to do after this?

"Hmm, I've finished the job you asked for, and I could see your face... I guess I'll head back to the dungeon if I teach you what to teach Kensei Ji. Even if you stay too long, the situation in here will get in the way. What about you? How long till you get home and this is it?

"I don't know yet, but it's going to take a little while. I can go back to the country from here in an instant if I'm the only one, but that's not why, and I'm going to be very busy when I get back to the country.... I asked Mr. Carotta a few questions about how the coalition is going to be formed."

"... war"

This is why we can say that the end of the war has already been opened, beyond being attacked by all three countries.

"... yeah. If everyone was like you, there wouldn't be a war."

"No, I don't know about that. I'm a chunk of myself, a man who only does what he wants, so the country's gonna collapse easily, and there's gonna be war, right?

"Uh, I don't think so. You're so sweet."

"Well, you guys don't have them. You'll be nice to someone you fall in love with."

"Huff, huh? Well, that's what I'm gonna do."

"Oh, my God, what does that feel like?"

"Nothing."

Nico, saying so, Nell.

...she's cute.

As it is, as I lazily walk through the woods with her, I eventually reach my destination - under the lil that was keeping me waiting in the woods.

"Oh, Lil, they admire you."

"Wow, you look like a king, Lil."

"Ku......"

Lil 'that overflows our words with one chirping sound that makes us laugh bitterly.

When he sees it, he is surrounded by other demons - probably the elves' pets, since they have collars wrapped around them - and he is somehow fu (ignorant).

Apparently, an upward and downward relationship is already possible.

Lil also has demons of his distribution in the Demonic Forest, but he's as good as ever at increasing his distribution on the go.

"Still, you have a good number of pets. Does an elf have that kind of culture?

Hi, it looks like this is a space for the squirrels, and a wide variety of demons are relaxing, from the little squirrels to the big Wyburns.

It's something that can coexist well.

I wonder if it's also the art of manipulating demons.

"Yeah, it seems so. Looks like you're using demons as obedience and warfare. And the Warcraft Squad, and I saw them fighting, but they were pretty cool."

"Ho, I would have liked to see that, too"

As we're having such a conversation while stroking Lil's body, I hear a voice calling this one.

"Oh, I was there. Hey, Yuki."

"? Oh, the Demon King. What's up?"

It was the demonic king himself who emerged from the inside.

"Yeah, I wanted to ask you for a job on the reward of rescue and one thing about the future. You, my predecessor, are going to train with you after this, so I thought I'd come before... Am I interrupting?

"Oh, I'm in the way. I'm in the way. Just go home."

"Oh, you don't say that. Because this is how the Demon King himself was. I'm fine, never mind."

"Ha, sorry, thanks. - Yuki, the elves have prepared the reward, so check back later. Negotiation of the details is for Naphorase to take, so please ask her"

"Mmm. Copy that."

"So this is the job I'd like to ask you to do... and I was wondering if you could hire me again. As a mercenary."
