6 the lord of the house




 
...... I see. So you're the demon king. You're a newborn.

 The dragon girl, dressed in a rather incendiary outfit of nudity and a t-shirt, said this while scurrying around the throne room with interest. I'm handing her the top now, so I'm topless. If you're on Earth, we have a problem.

 I wasn't going to take you this far at first because I didn't know how you would react if you found out I was the Demon King. ...... Eventually, I ended up leading you to the dungeon after being pushed aside by a dragon who kept calling out that he wanted to eat right now.
 The DP catalog can only be manipulated within the dungeon area.

 However, if it looks like this, you should definitely kill the demon king! I'm not sure if you have any beliefs like that, so you don't need to be alarmed.

 ...... For now, let's get you some proper clothes.

 I'm not sure if there is such a thing as girls' clothes in DP?

 I searched for it, and I was able to find it right away among the rows of clothing.

 Seriously, there's everything in the DP catalog. If you treat it as a convenience, you're going to run out of points soon. I've already lost half my initial points, so I'd better be careful.

 I threw a plain dress (80DP), underwear (30DP) because I didn't say what it was, and sandals (60DP) that seemed to go with the dress because it looked like it was barefoot, toward Lephios and asked him.

Do you understand?

"Thank God. I forgot that it gets chilly in human form. ...... The magic of the dungeon, which I hadn't felt until just now, is in this room through the door. Only a newborn demon king could have lived in such a deep dungeon, and a dungeon with only one room. So, I see why demons have suddenly appeared in my territory again.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us.

 ...... turned around to face the back, right?

 But still, you're the best. I didn't think you'd find out so quickly.

 You said dungeon magic, but are there many kinds of magic?
 I'll have to verify this mysterious power in the future. If there's magic, then there must be magic too. And I want to use magic.

Wait, wait, did I just say this, but are demons supposed to just appear out of the blue like that?

Of course, more often than not, demons are born from a couple, but the demon race is originally a very high concentration of magical elements - the magic element - in a region that is on the verge of saturation, and for some reason or another, it gathers together and forms a living organism around a nucleus of some sort. It's the existence you took. But when this dungeon was born, the power to create the "demon king," the administrator of the dungeon, became the nucleus, and this was the signal for all the surrounding magicks to come together to create it. The concentration of magnesium is high in this area.

 ...... That's quite a magical creature, isn't it, demons?

But then again, that's a very classy dungeon.

 The dragon girl said as her little hands flicked here and there.

Hmm? Isn't it like this everywhere?

 Put on the t-shirt that was given to you and ask, "What's the difference?

No, not at all. The dungeons I've crashed in my free time have all looked a bit like caves. ...... Oh, no, I remember when I was a kid, I was the strongest in my world! And the demonic idiot who was on a roll was living in a castle in bad taste with needlessly ramshackle decorations.

 Wow, this guy did that. .......

 Thank God this guy has a sweet tooth. If not, I would have gone to the other side long ago.

 I'm sure he didn't mean to kill me in the first place, just to scare me away. It's just too much trouble.

 It's too much trouble.

 That's why they didn't jump on him sooner and took their time.
 The part of the deal that bothered him wasn't whether he was going to kill me, but whether he was going to give me this cave that was part of his territory.
 Well, as long as the heart of the dungeon core is in my roost, I can't escape from here, so I guess that was a good response in the end.

 But still, I see. This room was classy.
 That's good, my dungeon. I got a compliment for the dragon and all that.  

What about that demon b*tc*?

They tried to fight me and reduced my castle to ashes.

 Yeah, well, it happens.

 I wonder what made that idiot think he could take on such a super creature and win.
 I'm curious!

 I'm sure you can see the thought on his face as he continues, looking a little dumbfounded.

I have to tell you, you're in the minority on that one. In general, the demon race is a race that lives by the value of strength. That's why they are always fighting each other, and if anyone else is strong, they will fight each other, so it's all very troublesome.

"I see. ...... Demons have brains.

 I guess you don't get along with other species by the looks of it. Come on.

Brains?

It's the simpletons who think their brains are made of muscle.

That's an interesting expression. That's a funny expression. They've been full of brains for a thousand years or so.

...... anyway, you've been alive for over a thousand years.

Yes, that's right. Humans call you the Dragon of legend.

 Ahem.... and a thin-chested dragon.
 The scale is so different that it's hard to really feel it: ...... Yeah. You seem to have a childish personality, don't you?
 You have a sweet tooth.

Well, whatever, here it is, dragon.

 With that said, the chocolate board that appeared on the table is handed over to Ha Long.

It's a good thing I'm here! ---Mmmm, I can't get enough of this mild sweetness!



 Mmmm.

Also, my name is Lephios, not dragon. Call me that.

 Earlier you had eaten it in one bite, but now, while tasting it with both hands, the dragon - Lephios said.

Then it's a long one, Refi. You can call me Yuki, too. That's my name.

"Leffy?

"Huh? What, you didn't like it?

No, no, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, I've never met anyone who talks like that to me at .......

"Oh, ...... well, I guess so.

 It's an ancient dragon that is said to have lived for over a thousand years and is the stuff of legend among humans.
 That's not the kind of person you'd be comfortable with.
 I'm able to be normal because this guy just looks like a relative's daughter who wants to grow up a little taller.
 Where's your old dignity.

Well, that's not important. --But you know what? I'll live here.

 Absent-mindedly, Leffi said so.

"What about ............?

This looks like a nice place to live. I was wondering if we should change our roost, it's a bit inconvenient. It's just right.

"No, no, wait a minute. It's not such a quick decision--

No?

"...... Well, wait, it's not that easy--

No?

 Leffy comes up to me and looks up at me with a woozy expression on her face.

........................ okay.

Okay, it's settled!

 Then Leffy grinned and quickly moved away from me.
 Instantly she was in a good mood and started eating the rest of the chocolate board, and I smiled at her.

 ...... Well, well, it's okay, but it couldn't have been worse as a result.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
 If such a being can stay, this dungeon will be much safer.

 Yes, I thought it over and agreed to it, not because I thought it was cute to beg Leffi. Definitely not.

 ...... is different, okay?


 --This is how the high dragon's housekeeping became available to me.
