Date? The Beginning of a Date

Translated by AmaLynne

If a date means going out with a man and a woman, then even if Demiurge, Behemoth, and I went out together in town, it would still be considered a date. The conclusion is the same even if we add the sentence『in a close relationship』to the beginning.

Demiurge and Behemoth are a mother and daughter, and I am Demiurge’s husband. Behemoth and I are allies in a great plan for the fate of the world. Both of us have a close relationship with each other to varying degrees.

However, in my mind, the word『date』is used to refer to something that a man and a woman do together.

Demiurge, the mother, and Behemoth, her daughter. And me, the Demiurge’s husband. Can going out with this composition be called a date? I have to say that I doubt whether this situation is what most people would call a date……

―――How did this happen?

「I’ve never met a beastman before. Is there something on your mind? You are a rare customer. If you buy me something, I’ll give you a service.」

「mm, just looking…」

Cid’s commercial district. Among the street vendors lining the main street, Behemoth is interested in a store selling miscellaneous knick-knacks and stares at the goods on display with sleepy eyes.

「Umu. It’s hard to move forward. I honestly did not expect her to be so curious.」

Behemoth, mimicking the form of a beast, is attracting a lot of attention from the people around her. Since she entered the line of street vendors, she has often stopped to let her curiosity take over and cool her store.

I suggested that she could buy something if she liked it.

『No…just curious…』

And then they shift her interest to the next stall. Repeatedly. Demiurge watches her with a look that is half exasperated and half love.

I, on the other hand,『with a cloth wrapped around my face』, follow Behemoth’s figure through the cracks with my eyes. I’ve been in a fight in the town of Cid before. We may not run into the knight from the other day, and while we got off the hook before, it may not work out so well this time either. It would be best to be vigilant.

Besides, many adventurers dressed like this to hide the scars on their faces. It may draw some attention, but it is not likely to be looked upon with suspicion. Maybe.

But this is not so much a date…as it is a so-called family outing, with a mother and father watching over their children completely.

…The other day.

After the incident at the fountain, it was decided that the three of us, myself, Demiurge, and Behemoth, would go out to Cid. The purpose was to bring Behemoth and me closer together.

I also agreed to go on the date with Demiurge in Cid, which we had promised to do together…

As for me, I honestly wanted to be alone with Demiurge if we were going to go on a date…but there was no way I could be selfish here.

The incident with the Behemoth regarding mating made me realize once again that there is a big gap between my thinking and the thinking of the Behemoths and the other four great demons… No, I had always felt that their thinking was different from that of humans, but I did not realize it. I was not aware of the difference in the way they think and feel.

But thanks to Demiurge’s plan, we were able to avoid it just in time.

But the arrangement was that Demiurge would permit me and Behemoth to mate… I have to admit that I am not comfortable with the idea of having a relationship with another woman when I have a wife.

I don’t know if it’s right to just go along with the flow and have physical relations…but it’s hard for me, who grew up as a human being, to separate that from the rest of my life.

That’s the first thing I was reminded of is the difference in perception between me and the Behemoth.

…What should I do?

Mating with Behemoth…yesterday, Demiurge set the date for today because my emotions were still not following me…

She also took into account the fact that she wanted to connect with me as a Behemoth as soon as possible, and she and I will have an amorous encounter at the end of today’s date.

Well, that is, if today’s date goes well.

Really, how did this happen?

「Husband.」

「Hmm?」

Suddenly, Demiurge called out to me from below. She had her arms around me and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

「Are you all right? You seem to be thinking about something.」

「Ahh…I was just thinking about what you told me the day before yesterday about the thoughts of humans and demons.」

「Umu. I was just saying that it’s okay to act according to our instincts as creatures when dealing with them, without thinking too hard.」

「Well, I think that’s the best way to maintain a good relationship with but…」

「But?」

「I mean, don’t you like the idea of me and her, uh…mating?」

When Behemoth and the Dragon God appeared in the forest. The two had a row when Behemoth suddenly forced me to mate.

At that time, Demiurge said.

『He will love only me! And only I can bear his child!』

She said this with a frenzied intensity.

It was difficult for me to think properly at the time because I was on the verge of death, but when I recall it, the depth of Demiurge’s love and possessiveness makes my cheeks heat up unintentionally.

But then she told me that she would allow Behemoth and me to do the deed. What kind of change of heart was there? The other day, I had been bothered by the fact that I couldn’t ask her about it after all.

「Mm…well, to be honest, I regret even more now that I allowed her and husband to mingle…」

Demiurge smiled to herself as she said this.

「But I can’t help it…I can’t see the four great demons, who are like my own children, being sad. I can’t help but want to give them a hand…even if it means I have to give up something of mine…」

「Do you mean to suppress your possessiveness?」

「Are you disillusioned? Is that the extent of my love for husband?」

Demiurge clung to my arm tightly. It seems as if she is trembling a little bit.

The amethyst eyes swayed anxiously in the smile. I felt a sudden pain in the center of my body as if I was a child clinging to a parent. At the same time, I felt ashamed of myself.

Ah, I’m an idiot. Why did I have to be so anxious? She had been so lenient with her family that she had even forgiven Titan’s murderous act. Considering that, I should have known that she would act in consideration of Behemoth.

What am I going to do, on the other hand, by making my wife worried? I should have been firm. I’m his husband.

「Demiurge, there is no way I am disillusioned with you.」

I’ll tell you. My thoughts and feelings. I will let it all out without reserve. I am not ashamed of it. However, I will put aside such momentary feelings for now. All I need to say right now is what I feel without any falsehood.

「I love you much more than you probably think. No matter what happens in the future, I will continue to believe in you and will always love you.」

「Pyuu?! H-Husband?! S-Suddenly, what is…」

Quoting the words that Demiurge used for Behemoth yesterday, I put my feelings into Demiurge’s head. Immediately, I felt my wife’s body temperature on my arms rise.

Not yet. It’s not enough.

I had to put all of my feelings into Demiurge and get rid of all of her insecurities.

「I’ve fallen in love with you all over again. You’re the one who wishes for the happiness of your family even if you have to suppress your feelings.」

「W-Wait a minute, husband.」

Demiurge is about to say something, but I won’t stop. Or rather, if I stop, I am sure that my head will be burned by the sweet that came out of my mouth and I will die in agony. Therefore, I cannot stop.

「I’m sure I’m going to love you more and more from now on. Even more than now. I’m going to fall in love with you all over again, and I’m going to keep loving you as my wife…」

「E-Enough!! M-Melt! No more of this, I’m melting!」

Demiurge suddenly pulled away from me. The white skin was stained red from face to shoulders. She covered her mouth with her hand and her eyes were shining.

Oh man…she’s so cute I want to push her down right here and now. I’m not going to do that, of course. It is outrageous to expose my wife’s body to the eyes of other men in such a public place.

「The truth is, I have more to say.」

「I-I said that’s enough! I-I mean it! Now it’s more than me, Behemo, mphh?!」

I put my finger over Demiurge’s mouth, which was turning red like an apple, and interrupted the words that followed.

「I know. I’m going out today to get to know『Belle』better. I’ll remember it,『Demia』.」

We’re a little too famous to use our real names. In a bad way, of course. Therefore, we had agreed to call each other by our pseudonyms while we were out in town.

I am Alexei. Demiurge is『Demia』. And Behemoth is『Belle』.

Demiurg opens her eyes and takes a deep breath to calm herself down. Her face is still red, though.

「Umu. Then it is good.」

Demiurge is embarrassed and looks away. I almost let my mouth drop open at the sight of her. Suddenly, I felt a tug on my clothes, and when I turned around, I saw a Behemoth with puffed-out cheeks.

「You only care about the Lord, not fair……me too……!」

「Psst.」

As soon as I said this, Behemoth clung to my left arm. She was rubbing against me. I looked at it and saw that its tail was wagging lazily from side to side.

「Go…」

Behemoth, clinging to me, pulls my arm back. But just before she starts to move,

「Wait.」

A word comes from Demiurge, At the same time, Demiurge wrapped her arm around my other arm.

「Now’s good. Then, let’s get going. Husband, you must firmly escort us.」

The two beautiful-looking creator gods and the four great demons were entwined in each hand, attracting many strange looks from the surroundings.
