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

Second Child

In the meadow area.

“Oooh, she’s so cute! This little guy…” (Yuki)

I picked up the little dog-sized, fluffy, and silky baby in my arms.

“My little girl is cute as a gem… but this one is as cute as a fluff ball!” (Yuki)

“Kuuu.” (Rir)

“Kuuuh.” (Rir’s Wife)

“Oh, right! I would like her to get along with little girls and those girls will also raise her as a sister.” (Yuki)

I had a conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Rir, who were snuggled up with each other in a friendly manner.

The gender was female. The dog was super cute, and its features resembled Mr. and Mrs. Rir enough that I could tell that it was theirs.

She looked at me with her eyes that seemed to have just opened, and she was watching me with interest. It was so cute as it even tried to lick and bite my hand gently.

She was Riou’s little sister and a big sister to Lefi’s child.

“Kaka, we have another addition to our family. Our family is getting bigger and bigger.” (Lefi)

Lefi, who had come to check on the baby, said happily while patting Fenrir’s head a little.

Since Mrs. Rir and Lefi were good friends, Lefi also looked pleased.

“Kuuh?” (Rir’s Pup)

“Yes, you, as well, will be having a baby brother or sister soon, that being our child.” (Lefi)

“Kuugau.” (Rir’s Wife)

“Kaka, yes. Raising a child together. If you need any help, call us. Especially Yuki, he can always lend a hand if you need anything.” (Lefi)

“Oh, just call me. Of course, I’ll help you in any way I can.” (Yuki)

“Kuugau.” (Rir’s Wife)

“Well, you have taken care of our Rir for a while now, haven’t you? In times of need, we will definitely return the favor.” (Lefi)

“Yes, that’s right, and Rir as well, don’t hesitate to ask me if you need anything.” (Yuki)

“Kuu.” (Rir)

Rir bowed his head as if to say, “I’m grateful”.

“Also, what’s her name, this girl? I’m looking at it with my analytical skills, but it’s not assigned yet…” (Yuki)

When I asked this, Rir said, “Kuu, Gau.”

“What, I’m supposed to name her?” (Yuki)

“Kuu.” (Rir)

“Kuuh.” (Rir’s Wife)

The couple nodded.

Apparently, they wanted me to decide the names of their children from now on. Or rather, Rir would like me to decide.

Rir also said that he wished for me to add her as a subordinate.

Rir’s wife didn’t seem to be opposed to the idea, and left it up to Rir.

I was glad to hear them say so, but… it was a big responsibility.

I picked her up and looked straight at her.

She had a beautiful silver coat, much like her parents.

For a moment, I thought – and then I decided.

“You will Setsu. I will be calling you Setsu from now on.” (Yuki)

“Kuu… Kuu…” (Setsu)

Rir bowed his head again, as if to say, “Setsu…that’s a good name, thank you,” and I petted him.

“I want her to meet Riou and Lyuu later, I could just see Lyuu’s face melt into glee right now.” (Yuki)

“Haha, sure. Illuna and the others will be overjoyed as well. When those girls come home from school, we should have them meet each other.” (Lefi)

“Gau!” (Rir)

“Kuu.” (Setsu)

“Setsu, this forest is a tough place, so listen to your parents and learn about the wilderness. But more than that, this world is fun. You should get along with our children and enjoy the world.” (Yuki)

As I said this, Setsu perked up and licked my face, tilting her head as if she didn’t quite get it.

–and while we were continuing to chat and laugh with Rir and his wife, with her in the center.

Suddenly, Lefi’s expression contorted.
