I'm home!

...... just now.

　As Reffi is taking it easy as usual, the only door connecting the living room - which is actually not a living room but a throne room, but Reffi recognizes it as such - to the outside opens, and from there, a A young man came back to the room with a girl on his shoulders.

　This young man is the owner of this dungeon - and Yuki, the demon king who became her husband not long ago.

　The girl on his or her shoulder is En, whose body is the sword "Sinflame".

　It's the same way that En has a physical body, but it's the flame of sin that Yuki still holds in her hand that actually contains her soul.

　 But that's the strange thing.

　Perhaps it's because this young man has always done odd and mysterious things, and I've gotten used to it.

　You really have an interesting man as a husband.

　But I think that's what I was...that's what I was attracted to.

　You'll be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your time with the help of a good friend.

　It's the first time I knew the world is this big and fun since I met my husband.

　If I hadn't met Yuki, I would still be living alone on that mountain top in the narrow world.

　I shudder to think if I had to live like that again, knowing the vastness of the world.

　Perhaps I cannot bear that tedious and narrow world anymore.

　I'm sure of that.

　With that thought in a corner of her mind, she called out to the two who had returned.

"Welcome back, you two--why are you falling apart again, Yuki?

　A slightly dumbfounded expression appears on your face.

　It's a good thing that you're a youngster compared to yourself, but you've already reached adulthood.
　You will be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for. And for some reason he smells a little burnt.

　The girl he's carrying on his shoulders is still clean, which makes her dirtiness stand out.

　It's not hard to understand if this is just a battle with a demon. ...... Whenever you go out with the children who live in the castle to play some sort of game, you will usually come back with mud on your face, which makes this man a childish one. The theory is probably closer to .

　...... No, come to think of it, this man was born as a demon king shortly before he met me?

　Then, well, since he is less than a year old, it might be reasonable for him to be childish ...... but he is by all accounts a young man of adult age in terms of physical age.

　...... The biology of the demon king species is truly a mystery.

It's a bit of a mystery. ......

"...... Lord, learning a new magic and frolicking

"En-san!"?

　Yuki hurriedly tries to stop En, who always has a dazed expression on her face, from speaking the truth so easily.

　Ah ...... I see.

　The general picture easily appeared in my mind, and Reffi had a smiling or dumbfounded expression on her face.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it. Demon King, you're back!

　And at that time, Leila peeked her head out of the kitchen, seemingly noticing Yuki and the others had come home.

...... phone. I'm back, Leila. Are you ready to eat?

It's almost done. ...... En-chan seems to be fine, but, Demon Lord, it's still some time before it's ready, so why don't you go ahead and take a hot bath?

　Leila, seeing Yuki's outfit, suggests to him so.

"Ugh, I'll do that. It's a great way to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Quickly guessing the meaning of the girl who got off the shoulder and pulled her own hem with a small, quirky tug, he asked, "What do you mean by that?

....... Together.

All right, all right - and what about Iruna and her friends?

Iruna and her friends will be coming back from the castle soon. Probably, they will come back with mud all over them, so I think they will charge at you on the way.

"Okay, got it.

　Yuki replied with a fluttering wave of her hand and rattled the doorknob a few times before walking out of the room again with the girl by her side.

　The other children may have heard that they were coming and headed for the inn with a large bath tucked away on the grassy plain instead of the smaller one in the living room.

　The door is apparently connected by spatio-temporal magic and can be operated with a doorknob to connect to another door.

...... It's too late, but that's it. It's just that he has a way with kids.

"Uh-huh, that's a good husband!

"............

　At Leila's words, Leifi's face flushed a little.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this article.

I have rarely seen such a caring gentleman. I think you've got a very good man, Mr. Reffi. And it seems to be quite strong.

　Leila is quite out of the box, but she is still a demon.

　Strong, to her, is one of the criteria for an attractive man.

"I don't do ......, okay?

I know, I know.

　As the two of them were having a conversation, a distressed voice came into their ears from the kitchen.

Leila! I need you to come over! It's like the pot is buzzing and it's in bad shape!

"...... Mr. Refi, dinner will be ready in less than 30 minutes, so please don't fall asleep again!

"Mm, okay. Tell me if you need any help. I can't just sit around and let him piss me off.

Yes, I understand. Then I'll call you back in a little while.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends and family," he said with a smile on his lips and then disappeared into the back of the kitchen again, muttering, "I already ...... just asked you to watch the pot .......

　--The living room is once again silent.

　But ...... after a little while, it will be noisy here again, as usual.

　It's easy to imagine such a future.

　Yuki returns with the children in tow, Liu waddles around and sets out the plates, while Leila crisply prepares the dinner.
　When everyone is seated at the table, they clasp their hands together to say thank you and then proceed with their chopsticks while chatting noisily about what happened today and what they did.

...... phew!

　--The world is so beautiful.



　Beautiful, noisy, fun - and warm.

　I'm probably the luckiest person alive to have known that.

　Such a thing, she thought to herself.
