When I was Fired from the Saint, for Some Reason I Turned into a Little Girl and Became the Demon Ki

“Aa, how adorable. Presea-sama looks good no matter what you wear.”

Hahaha, praise me more. 

Fill my desire for approval!

Wearing a black and pink mini dress, I spun around and Tiara who was beside me applauded. 　

In addition to Tiara, there were many court ladies in the room, and they were all laughing happily.

They have horns, tails, and beast ears. 

After all, everyone has some kind of inhuman trait. 

But everyone was smiling and I didn’t feel scared here. 

I learned that in the human world, demons dislike humans and attack them immediately if they meet them, but that’s not the case at all. 

I think they are kinder than the people at Oracion Castle.

“Presea-sama, let’s do your hair too.”

“Twintails are good!”

“I wonder if the shoes here with ribbons are cuter.”

This is good, this is so so good, the court ladies are happy to decorate me. 

I was left to do what was done. 

When you’re a kid, you’re cute no matter what you wear.  

Oh, it’s fun to be fashionable. When I was in the temple, I could only wear white saint’s clothes, so this kind of thing is kind of fresh.

──It’s been a few days since the demon king recognized me as his pet.

I was interested in human infants because they were rare, I had to put a collar on them, and I had to live in the Demon King’s Castle, but… 

The ability of humans to adapt is frightening, and I gradually got used to life in the castle.

Oh man~

Even if you are silent, meals will be served and there will be snack time. No one complains about your pink eyes. 

It’s okay to oversleep or take a nap as much as you like.  

On top of that, I get compliments for wearing cute clothes. 

When I thought that the pet life wasn’t so bad, I was always taken aback and my thoughts returned to the original place. 　

This place is the Demon King’s castle managed by the Demon King.

“Presea-sama, this.”

After changing clothes, you will be given a stuffed bunny at the end. Twintails and a black and pink mini dress. 

And I, a girl with a bunny. 

The room became noisy again.

“Haa~, human children are so cute~!”

“You’re like an angel”

“How long can I watch you~”

Everyone broke their faces and let out a sigh. 

Tiara smiled.

“This will make His Majesty happy!”

“….”

Ugh, that’s right. 　

After all, this is the demon king’s castle in the demon world, and I’m supposed to be the property of the demon king.

When he says he’s taken care of, it’s because I’m that man’s pet, and he’s just interested in a child. 　

That’s why, if it turns out that I’m actually 15 years old and that I’m a former saint… Oh, I’m chilling. I don’t want to think about it.

──That means I might get killed if I’m not good at it.

That was the only and worst flaw in this life.

“It seems that His Majesty the Demon King will be able to come back today. I’m really looking forward to it.”

Tiara smiled and said so. 

The Demon King seems to be busy every day. Since our first encounter, we hadn’t met even once.

Eiei, please don’t come back. 

Putting that into my heart, I became numb.

◆

“Hey Tiara. Can you take this collar off for me?”

Snack time. 

Clinging to the skirt of Tiara who is preparing the sweets on the table, I said so with quivering eyes.

“Oh dear, I can’t. Without that collar, Demon King-sama won’t be able to go save Presea-sama when your life is in danger.”

Tiara looks at me with a troubled face.  

She doesn’t seem willing to remove the collar.

“Take it take it, please take it off for me~”

I put my quivering eyes away, and this time I kneaded my dada. 

My fifteen-year-old pride is long gone.

“Hmm, do you dislike collars?”

Tiara tilted her head and hugged me. Let me sit on the chair.

“In the human world, collars are something that pets wear. In the demon world, they are standard accessories…”

“Ueehhh”

Damn. 

Tiara, no matter what you say, you are still under the Demon King’s subordinates! 

I let my guard down!

Tiara stuck the cake on the fork without worrying about me, as if she had gotten used to handling me.

“Come on, Presea-sama, ahh.”

“Ugh…I don’t want it…Ah…”

Cake is so delicious. 

… Noo good. 

No matter how much I cry, no matter how much I’m in a pinch, I’ll still be hungry.　

 I put the fork Tiara held out in my mouth and ate the cake that was served.

“Yes, we also have juice with plenty of fruits.”

While whining, I firmly receive the juice. 

When I was in a bad mood and had a straw of juice in my mouth, the room suddenly brightened as if the stars had fallen.

“Wa Demon king-sama! Don’t suddenly transfer into the room!”

After blinking her eyes in surprise, Tiara pinches her skirt and bows. When I looked, the man I hated was standing by the window.

“Sorry, I failed to specify the coordinates.”

When he said that without reflecting on it at all, the Demon King turned over his black coat and came over here. 　

He seems to be able to use teleportation magic, and is able to move anywhere he wishes in an instant. I can’t use magic like that, because I was so little… no, quite envious. I wonder if I can do it with practice.

“How is Presea?”

“Yes. Her physical condition seems to be good today.

Tiara smiles happily.

“Is that so?”

The Demon King comes to me who is pouting. 

I didn’t want to get involved, so I turned away.  

Then, suddenly, I was picked up.

“Uwaa”

Just like that, Demon king-sama sat down on the chair I was sitting on earlier and put me down on his knees.

“Such a cheeky pet to defy its master.”

He grabbed my cheek and forced me to look up.

No, stop it, you pervert~!

“Hy,hyaahh!”

“I refuse”

Since he gave me an immediate answer, I unintentionally retorted after tearing off the Demon King’s hand from my cheek.

“The demon’s little hobby! Lolicon! Pervert!”

For a moment, I thought I said too much, but Demon king-sama didn’t react at all.

He doesn’t seem to get angry even if I’m unexpectedly rude.

Even though I clapped his arm around my stomach, there was no sign of letting go.

On the contrary, he seems to be amused by me with my cheeks puffed out.

He’s looking at me as if he’s really observing a small animal…

Since he won’t let me down at all, I have no choice but to drink the juice.

Ugh, I’m restless~.

Give me down.

When I was in a bad mood, I suddenly whispered in a mean voice.

“Huh? You know quite a few difficult words. You’re like an adult.”

“Puhaaa—–”

I involuntarily spit juice.

“Hey, that’s bad manners.”

Juice enters the organs and makes me choke.

I thought I was going to die.

My heart was beating so fast that I felt like it was about to jump out of my mouth.

“Be, because I’m a smart five-year-old child…”

When I finally said that, Tiara, who was serving, rushed over with a towel.

Even though I was given cute clothes, I ended up getting them dirty…

“Are, are you okay?”

“Cough, I’m not okay at all…”

Wiping my dirty clothes, Tiara said angrily.

“Come on, Demon king-sama, she’ll be in trouble if you mess with her in the middle of her meal.”

“Is that so?”

The Demon King is laughing.

He didn’t seem to regret it at all.

◆

I feel like my spirit is being dragged by the body of a little five-year-old. My words and actions have become younger than before.

Even now, even though I hated and got angry at Demon King-sama, maybe because I got tired, I started to doze off on my knees.

“Oh, are you sleepy? Shall we take a nap?”

Luckily, I had just finished changing my clothes and was dressed to sleep comfortably.

 While I nodded and rubbed my eyes, the Demon King picked me up and stood up.

“Tiara, you should take a break. I’ll take care of Presea.”

“Oh dear”

Eh.

 It’s okay, I can sleep alone. 

I thought I would finally be released when it was nap time, but I was carried to bed and put to sleep by the Demon King.

When I was laid on the bed, my head was stroked. 

The Demon King was sitting on the bed and looking down at me. 

I felt uncomfortable with the dark eyes staring at me.

Hmmm. 

Why am I being forced to sleep by the Demon King…?

Even though I am sleepy, my face must have been dissatisfied. 

The Demon King asked me with a smile on his lips.

“What are you so unhappy about?”

“The collar, please take it off?”

“A no is a no. Also it’s meant to protect you.”

The Demon King shook his head.

“If you’re in the demon world (here), wear it obediently.”

“Then, I want to go back to the human world.”

When I said that, Demon King-sama raised his eyebrows.

“Didn’t your father and mother kick you out? In the human world, people with magical powers are being persecuted?”

“……yes”

“I don’t think you can do well as a child, and on top of that you have magical powers. Even if you go home, you won’t be able to do anything.”

Well, it certainly is. 

 Before I came here, I honestly didn’t have any plans. 

I was just thinking of going somewhere far away. 　

Since I have magical powers, no one will hire me.

“… You’re going to do something terrible to me, right?”

I look up at Demon King-sama.

“I won’t”

Demon King-sama shook his head.

“I will never do that. I should have told you sooner that you can be loved by me, only loved by me.”

“….”

“It wouldn’t be bad to be petted by me here.”

He stroked my head. 

My eyelids became heavy as my hair was gently combed.

As expected of a five-year-old child. My cheeks were stroked with his thumb, tickling and I pressed my cheek against the sheets.

“Umm…”

“Now sleep tight”

The Demon King laughed a little.

I fell asleep while thinking that he was surprisingly good at stroking.
