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

Side Story: Conversations with my Wives

Lyuu said, “Husband, Husband.”

“What’s the matter, my wife Lyuu?” (Yuki)

“Husband, aren’t you acting like an idiot?” (Lyuu)

“My wife Lyuu, why did you say that so suddenly?”

After my words, my wife’s group nearby interrupted me in a nonchalant manner.

“There’s no room for misunderstanding, right?”

“You can say that Onii-san is adorable.”

“They do say the dumber the child, the cuter they are…”

I asked in confusion, “What… What’s up with you guys? You want to pick on me?”

“If you’re asking me if I would like to bully you, yes, you’re right. My goal is to see you groaning after all that you’ve done to me.”

“Don’t worry, Onii-san! I’ll be there for you when you cry because Lefi is bullying you!” (Nell)

Lyuu added, “Then, I’ll also lay Yuki-san on my lap to help you.”

“Lyuu, you’re the one who got us into this mess. Anyway, what is it that you’re trying to say?”

“Well, Husband told Illuna and the others that they need to study hard if they don’t want to become a fool like you, but Husband is pretty knowledgeable, so I guess that’s the standard Husband is looking for, but I’m not sure what you expect from them.”

I said, “I’ve told you several times, I only know what I know. But regardless of what I know, it’s useless if I can’t make use of it. I can, however, tell other people about the idea and let them think about it, but it is a waste that I can’t take advantage of it on my own.”

In my opinion, a smart person was one who could actually make full use of their knowledge, so it would be wrong to say that I was smart.

Maybe if I had completed my compulsory education in my previous life, I would have known how to make full use of my knowledge.

“But Husband, I don’t mean to be rude, but aren’t you doing a pretty good job as an emperor? I hear it’s in name only, but even so, I think it’s admirable.”

“Thank you, my wife Lyuu. You seem to be on my side. …Well, I’ve been thinking about it, Nell and Layla are on my side, which means Lefi is my only enemy.” (Yuki)

Lefi said, “Oh, what? Are you selling a fight? Fine, I’ll buy it.”

“Lefi, you shouldn’t do anything strenuous when you’re pregnant.” (Yuki)

“Don’t worry, I have recently learned how to beat my husband without any physical exertion. I will teach you later.” (Lefi)

“You seem to be a bit strong-minded these days. Or was it always that way?” (Yuki)

“A mother protects her children! When a fool comes at us, we need to show our strength.” (Lefi)

“You are saying that to your husband?” (Yuki)

Lyuu added, “Don’t worry, Husband, Lefi is counting on you as well. Of course, so do we!”

“Lyuu, I love you.”

The embarrassed Lyuu looked so cute.

“What, Lyuu, you can’t be like that. He may be dependable at times, but he’s basically useless, this guy. We must see to it that our children do not resemble this fool.”

“! That’s true. We don’t want them to be reckless like Husband… In that respect, Illuna and the others were fine because they were thoughtful by nature, even if they were like husband.”

“Ah, that may be true. Onii-san is still Onii-san, and I feel like it can’t be helped now, but we have to be careful that our children don’t resemble that aspect of him…”

“…Yuki-san, I’m sorry, I can’t defend you either! If they are naughty, it will be cute, but if they try climbing cliffs and even jumping off like Yuki-san, I will have to stop them…”

I couldn’t help but ask, “What the heck, what kind of impression do you guys have of me?”

“An idiot.”

“A big idiot.”

“I think you’re a little out of your mind, for better or worse. Foolish Idiot.”

“Well, you are the kind of person who is worth taking care of, right? It might be a bit unpleasant to leave you alone.”

“Thank you for your honesty. It brings tears to my eyes to feel the love of my wives.” (Yuki)

It seemed like I was mistaken in thinking that I had allies.

A husband was a man alone, defending his home.

I see, so this was what a man fights for….

I said, “…Fine, if you guys will be like that, I have an idea. When the child is born and grows up, I’ll be taking them with me, I’ll teach them many bad games that the child won’t be able to tell their mother about, and I’ll make it harder on you guys to deal with them!”

“Well, what kind of games exactly?”

“Well, first, getting clothes all dirty. So dirty that it will be difficult to wash them.” (Yuki)

“Hahaha, that will be a lot of work, indeed.”

“Well, we have a washing machine, so it’s a lot easier to deal with laundry than before.”

“Next, I’m going to teach them many sports and stuff that will get them all scratched up! I’ll also expand the athletic area I recently built and make it a place where they can get carried away and mass produce fresh scars! At the same time, I’m sure that their clothes will be covered in mud.” (Yuki)

“I’m sure they’ll be strong and healthy!”

Lefi added, “I just have to make sure that nothing could get them seriously hurt.”

I said with a chuckle, “Finally, I’m sure that when they will receive a depressing amount of attention from us all, they’ll grow weary of their parents! You will feel lonely and sentimental about your children’s untimely growth.”

“So you’re going to raise them so much that they get sick of it?”

“I’m sure you’ll do your best to be a good husband.”

I said with a wicked smile, “Say what you want! But I’ll let you know that my plan is secretly in the works… when it comes to light! You will cry, scream, and despair at how the wicked Demon King has treated you, wondering what kind of man you have made your husbands…”

“O wicked and diabolical Demon King, I think it’s time to prepare dinner, so help me.”

“Yes.”
