Author Note:
I came up with various ideas, and I decided to continue with daily life stories in the end.
I mentioned there would be about 10 chapters until it ends, but I wonder if I can really reach that point in 10 chapters…
Chapter 094 – Holy Gal Demons [A]
Demon realm.
In the region that occupied the northern half of the continent, there was a certain town.
It was a town where demons lived.
However, it wasn’t the tree city, a naturally formed town that could be seen on the western side of the continent, but instead, it was clearly an artificially made town.
In fact, the town was indeed created using various buildings, beautiful things, entertainment, and other parts of human nations as reference, and it was currently the most popular spot in the demon realm, making it a tourist city that many demons wanted to visit at least once.
The town was created by Leonhart, the majin who served as the supreme majin, therefore the town was named “Leonhart City” and became a relaxation spot for demons.
One of the purposes of visiting that city was for “date.”
The town’s fashionable, lively, and somewhat romantic atmosphere made it popular with the gal demons and it was the perfect place for them for a date. Therefore, there were many guy demons who came to the city for the sake of courting or looking to meet with gal demons they were interested in.
The popularity of this town could be seen from the fact that the breeding rate of demons had increased with its establishment.
Meanwhile,
“—Fu-hn?”
“—Heeh…”
“—Waa…!
“…”
There was a certain group of four gal demons who heard the rumors about this town.
As they arrived in town separately, they were amazed to see the breathtaking appearance and the atmosphere of the town.
The ones who lived there were all demons, yet no hostile atmosphere could be felt within the town.
If it were here, I could fulfill my duty — Well, not all of them thought that way, as the four demons arrived separately with their respective goals, and all of them set foot in the town.
“…Ah-… this is relaxing…”
On that day, Majin Leonhart was visiting the town after an expedition of the Demon Army.
His destination was the large communal bath on the main street. Leonhart had reserved the place for himself and slowly soaked in the hot water as he spoke such words. The thing that came to his mind was,
…This kind of time is precious…
Since he rarely took his bath alone these days, he felt it even more so.
He would usually enter together with either Ssulal or Carol, who would help him wash. Such was what happened most of the time.
Although that wasn’t bad, he wanted to relax alone sometimes.
Therefore, he reserved the place for himself and relaxed at the moment. He felt a little guilty since the communal bath was a popular place, but considering he wouldn’t even take an hour long bath, and he had also given permission to have the town named after him, he wished to be forgiven for this much at least.
It all happened when he discussed the name for the town with his subordinates, and every one of them said Leonhart’s name would be an appropriate one. He was quite troubled by it, or bluntly said, he hated the idea, but all his subordinates were getting enthusiastic about it so he reluctantly gave his permission. Although he didn’t like to show off his authority, he could see the merits of doing so, but then he also remembered there was no need to since he already had the greatest authority among majins. He did have such a thought, but since he already gave his permission earlier, taking it back would show that he questioned his own judgment, so he stopped thinking about it.
While sighing,
“…Well, there’s not much meaning in thinking about it…”
There’s no need to think about what has already been decided. I should just accept it.
Fortunately, there wouldn’t be any big jobs for a while, so he could relax for today at least.
As he stretched his legs and leaned against the edge of the bathtub,
“Anyway… it sure is good hot water… really…”
“Nyu… It’s good hot water… it makes me feel sleepy…”
“Aah… It really makes one want to sleep due to how good it feels.”
“…Zzz.”
“Hey, don’t sleep while bathing. What would you do if you drowned— Ah.”
Then he noticed.
There was a girl with blonde pigtails who he didn’t recognize. She had a petite body about 130 cm tall. The girl who looked like a child was soaking in the bath comfortably,
“…You, who are you?”
“Rather, how did you manage to get in here to begin with?” asked Leonhart. Then the girl answered with sleepy expression,
“Hm-… Serachrolas…”
“Serachrolas, huh. Your presence doesn’t feel human… Are you a gal demon?”
“Yea…”
It seemed a gal demon had slipped in. However,
…Did she manage to slip in without me noticing? That’s amazing if it’s really the case…
He felt a little impressed. Even though Leonhart was relaxing in the bath, he should have been able to sense her presence closing in, and there were demon soldiers standing guard at the door.
…Is she a mutated species? Or is it…
He never saw such a species of a gal demon. In that case, he thought she would be a rare existence of some sort,
“…Leonhart, are you okay…?” 1
“Hm…? Aah, I’m good… but what’s wrong?”
He suddenly received a question he didn’t understand the meaning of. What do you mean by that? As Leonhart asked back,
“Hna… if you are okay… then good…”
“…? You’re a hard to understand fellow…”
However, she seemed harmless. She seemed to be mentally a child so it should be okay to just leave her alone. I guess I’ll bring her out once I’m done bathing as well, if she wants to re-enter, she can just do so after the reservation is lifted.
With that in mind, he soaked himself in hot water again,
“Funya-… Leonhart-…”
“…What is it?”
She talked to him again. He was still a majin, but she didn’t seem to be afraid of him at all, so she should have some guts. Or rather,
“…Did I introduce myself?”
“…Nyu, I knew of you, from a long time ago…”
“You knew of me… hm, ah, I see.”
Even without thinking deeply about it, he was quite famous after all. Not only within the Demon Army, his name was also well known among humans.
I guess it’s not weird for her to know my name then, but just as Leonhart thought of that, a shocking remark came. That was,
“…Want to make a child?”
“………hah?”
…Make a child?
What does that mean? Thought Leonhart as he felt troubled. No, he knew what it meant but,
“…You mean you and I?”
“Hm… last time, we did it as well.”
“………Ha, hah?”
Leonhart felt even more confusion by the “last time” phrase. Needless to say, he didn’t remember ever doing it with her.
No, in the first place, thought Leonhart as he looked at Serachrolas body.
“…Hey, it won’t fit in, you know?”
“Funi, it could fit in as long as we did our best…”
“Hm-… I think it would still be too tight though…”
He tilted his head as he observed seriously.
It would injure her if I did it normally, but perhaps it could go in if her body is sturdy enough? She’s a gal demon after all. Even so, thought Leonhart.
“…Is it a no?”
“Rather than no, why are you asking it in the first place?”
“…Instinct?”
“…Instinct?”
As Leonhart parroted back, Serachrolas nodded with sleepy expression,
“Nyu, if it’s with Leonhart… then a healthy child will be born…”
“Where did such conviction come from…?”
Just as Leonhart began to feel a headache.
He heard voices at the entrance.
“Uwah, who are you?! Leonhart-sama is bathing at the moment!!”
“Don’t worry. I’ll return as soon as I check something.”
“N-no no no! It’s still not acceptable, okay?!”
“…?Ah, I see. I guess I should strip myself before entering the bath — Here I go.”
“That’s not what I — hey, don’t strip all of sudden—?! Hey, aah, that direction is!!”
He heard such noisy exchanges. One came from a demon soldier but the other one was a woman’s voice,
“…Excuse me.”
“Ah?”
Along with the voice, the entrance door opened and a woman entered.
She was a beautiful woman with long red hair, and a tall, well proportioned body. That one is more to my taste.
Just as Leonhart thought that, she looked in his direction.
“—Ah, Sera.”
“Nyu… it’s Be-chan…”
Apparently, they knew each other. Serachrolas was looking at the woman while soaking in the bath. Looking at that, the other woman became expressionless,
“I told you not to call me ‘Be’ before, right? Also… what are you doing here with a majin?”
“Hm-… making a child.”
“We didn’t!”
Leonhart immediately corrected the words that likely invited misunderstanding.
However, the red haired woman exhaled lightly,
“With a majin, huh… we are certainly able to bear a child from a majin, but having a pure demon partner is preferred…”
“Nyu… but we did it last time.”
“…What do you mean by ‘last time,’ really? I didn’t do it.”
He corrected her again. However the woman continued,
“Last time… I see, so that’s how it is.”
She seemed to be convinced on her own and nodded,
“…I’ve never tried it before, so I guess I should try it as well?”
“Nyu?… Be also wants to do it…?”
“…For the time being, it’s pending.”
“…Oi, why did both of you proceed with the conversation on your own? If you are acquainted with this girl, take her home. I’ll just tell the demon soldiers you’re all my acquaintances.”
“Be, want to take a bath as well…?”
“..You’re right. I’ve come all this way after all…”
“No, go home! Don’t you have ears?!”
When he said that, the woman tilted her head,
“Eh, but… this is a communal bath, right?”
“I’ve reserved it for myself at the moment!”
“Funya… But Leonhart told me I could enter as I liked before…”
“I didn’t say that, okay?! Why do you keep making up stories all the time!”
“…Both of you sure get along well.”
“Your eyes are knotholes!! How can you think that way seeing this, aah?!”
“Nyuu… Leonhart, wash my hair.”
“You should have washed it before entering the bath! Damn it, sit over there so I can wash it!!”
“…Didn’t you get along well there?”
“We didn’t!!”
Leonhart’s voice echoed in the bathhouse along with the sound of soap whipping.
