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

Chapter 558.2

Everyone had changed since the addition of these new family members, but there were also things that hadn’t changed.

“Yuki! That’s what I was eating!” (Lefi)

“Mmm, it’s delicious. It’s even better when you eat sweets that other people have been looking forward to!”

Onii-chan stretched his neck to his side and bit into the sweets Onee-chan Lefi was eating, munching it away.

“You stupid brat! But wait a minute, I still have some left!” (Lefi)

“Hmph, Lefi… if you show a weakness, you’ll be done for. It was you who taught me that this is the way of the world, wasn’t it?” (Yuki)

“I’ve never said that before!” (Lefi)

“Is that so? You’re probably right.” (Yuki)

The two of them start fighting happily, just as they did when they first met.

In the end, I think Onii-chan would most likely give Onee-chan the same number of sweets he ate for himself, but he most likely just felt like wanting to mess with her.

To begin with, Onii-chan didn’t really like sweets that much.

However, Onee-chan was also cute in that, despite pretending to be angry, she was clearly enjoying herself.

They really were a perfect match.

Since Riou and Sakuya were born, the time they had been busy had increased more than before. It was not that bad because they still had time to flirt like this about once every two days.

It was a good thing, but to be honest, I couldn’t help but think, “Oh, they’re at it again…” Everyone else in the family usually just watched them with a warm, but slightly disapproving, smile on their faces.

Well, when Onii-chan was making a racket like that, the whole house became lively and fun, so when I saw them doing that, I felt like “Oh, it’s just a usual day”.

Incidentally, I’ve heard from Enne that at night, it seemed like they were happily playing together until morning.

It appears that the Onii-chan, who had the power of the Demon King, didn’t need to sleep much while he was at home – the dungeon, and the Onee-chan, who was the strongest in the world with her physical strength, so in other words, they have a lot of time at night.

So, even after everyone had gone to bed, they would play board games or drink alcohol while watching Riou and Sakuya, which became something like their own private time together.

Perhaps it was a time that was essential and precious to them. I always fall asleep quickly at night, so I thought it sounded nice.

I never really thought about things like racial advantages, but I find myself envying them in these kinds of situations.

At night, I couldn’t be more sleepy. Since I started going to school, I haven’t been able to sleep in anymore, so it was tough.

School was really fun, but I always thought that mornings were tough, and I wished there was some way to make them easier.

Shii, Enne, Rei, Rui, and Ro were all from special races, so they were full of energy all day long, and I found myself envying them.

Only my little sister Emu, Layla’s little sister, could sympathize with how hard it was for me.

The other adults, apart from my big brother and big sister, didn’t seem to mind getting up early, probably because they’re adults… The funny thing was that Layla, who was the most mature and motherly of the group, was actually the worst at getting up in the morning.

Even if I exclude the fact that she seemed to be doing research on her hobby until late at night, Layla Onee-chan was cute because she tended to wake up late in the morning.

When living together with my family, I strongly felt the saying “Everyone is different”.

However, even with all these differences, when I look at my family, who always support each other, I could feel a strong sense of peace, and it made me happy.

I believed that if everyone were like my family, the world would have been a much more peaceful place.

This was how my days were like.

Every day was noisy, fun, and fulfilling.

“Mmmm…” (Illuna)

“Hmm? Illuna, what’s wrong?” (Shii)

“…Illuna, you look happy.” (Enne)

“Yeah, I guess so! I was just thinking that everyone looked so happy.” (Illuna)

“So much happiness! The taste of happiness!” (Shii)

“…This candy tastes of happiness. The person who made it, Layla, is a happiness master.” (Enne)

“If Enne says so, it must be true! Layla Onee-chan is the happiness master.” (Illuna)

“Thank you for the praise…” (Layla)

“Haha, well, that’s true. We’re happy with Layla’s seriously delicious food, with three meals a day plus snacks.” (Lefi)

“You just ate your share of happiness!” (Yuki)

“Oh, come on. You two can eat whatever you like, but if you eat too slowly, you won’t be able to eat at night.” (Layla)

“That’s right, you two. It’s fine to be all lovey-dovey, but I want to do the dishes together, so I want you to finish eating, and please don’t hesitate to make out after.” (Layla)

“”We’re not making out!”” (Lefi/Yuki)

That was pushing it.

I spent the day like that with everyone…
