“What is it, Yuki, you seem to be in a good mood.” (Lefi)
“Oh, you’re up, Lefi.” (Yuki)
“Yes, well, I don’t need to nap that much to begin with. I have a strong body.” (Lefi)
Recently, the adults have been taking turns taking a nap in case Riou and Sakuya wake up at night.
So, just a few minutes ago, Lefi had also slept a bit at the Japanese Inn.
“You’re the one who’s been taking care of them all this time. You can rest if you’d like to.” (Lefi)
“Oh, I’m fine as well. I’m sure it will be easier for me than for everyone else, after all, I have power flowing into me for as long as I’m inside my dungeon. I’d feel like a useless husband if I didn’t do at least this much.” (Yuki)
“I see. Well then... let’s take care of them together!” (Lefi)
“Hahaha, well...” (Yuki)
I beckoned and Lefi sat down on my lap.
I put my hands over her back and lightly embraced her, as she leaned her body against me.
We both looked at our children in silence.
“...They’re wonderful, aren’t they?” (Lefi)
“Hmm?” (Yuki)
“Such small, cute little things will eventually grow up and become an adult, and Illuna and the others’ growth is also very impressive...” (Lefi)
“It’s wonderful that something so small can grow so big, isn’t it?” (Yuki)
Lefi nodded.
“Yes. I always ask how a creature can grow from such a weak and tiny state? The answer I found is because of the protection of their parents that they were able to grow up. I could certainly feel once again the great responsibility of parents.” (Lefi)
“...I agree.” (Yuki)
We would nurture these small, fragile lives.
“I’m sorry to hear that. The Demon Lord, who was supposed to turn the world evil, is now forced to live a life of being his wife’s helper.” (Lefi)
“Oh, yes. Thanks to you, I spend my days as a poor husband, keeping my wives happy, and nursing my children. I think to myself, how far away from the word ‘Demon Lord’ I am.” (Yuki)
“That’s for sure.” (Lefi)
I shrugged my shoulders, and Lefi laughed as well.
“...When I think about it this way, you’ve been with me since I came to this world.” (Yuki)
“Kaka, so that’s how it is for you.” (Lefi)
“...” (Yuki)
I didn’t say anything at that moment because I was embarrassed by my sudden thought.
But it seemed that Lefi could see right through my inner thoughts.
She looked up at me, smiling.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be with you until the day you die.” (Lefi)
“—-” (Yuki)
I was speechless, and I hugged Lefi tightly.
“...Darn it, how could I be unhappy? My wife, Lefi, will take responsibility for making me happy, right? Me, a Demon Lord, was turned into someone who didn’t fit his character at all.” (Yuki)
“I can’t help it. In return, I’ll have you take the responsibility of turning me, a dragon, into a mere mother.” (Lefi)
“Fine, we have a deal.” (Yuki)
As we were joking with each other, Riou, who should have been asleep, suddenly woke up and started crying, and Sakuya, who heard her voice and woke up as well, started crying as well.
We looked at each other and laughed, then started to soothe them both.
