The morning sun shining through the curtains woke Nell up.

　She clinked her sleepy eyes a few times and slowly sat up.

...... ......

　A small absent-mindedness, then Nell turned her head to the side - to see a young man sleeping in the bed next to her, in her field of vision.

　The hair is an unusual shade of black, and the sleeping face is as innocent as a boy's.

　When you look at him closely, you can't help but wonder if he's not much older than you are, although he's not quite a child.

　I'm not sure that he is a demon king with a tremendous amount of power inside of him, which is not only inferior to the human race, but also inferior to the sub-human race, beastmen and even the demon race.

　...... Well, even when he is awake, for better or worse, he is an innocent and childlike person, so you wouldn't know he is a demon king as long as you treat him normally.

　For a long time now, Nell has thought of this young man as being like the neighborhood man, and that feeling has not changed at all, even now.

　If I had a childhood friend of the opposite s*x, I'd probably be like this guy.

　Although it's only been about a year since they met, he's become such a big part of Nell's life.

...... Huh.

　With a small smile, Nell got off her own bed and sat down on the bed of the young man next to her.

　Reaching out and taking care not to wake him up, she gently ran her hand through his hair, combing it back and forth.

　Even though it's tousled, it feels even more comfortable to the touch than you expected, silky and smooth.
　The comforting warmth of his palm.

　A tickle in my heart, pulsing hotly.

　Normally, I would never do this in the presence of others, because I'm ashamed of it: .......

　--It's good for now.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

...... hmm.

　And then, suddenly, a small voice comes.

　Not from the Yuki in front of you, but from another direction.

　Nell turned her head in that direction and before she knew it, a young girl with dark hair like Yuki, dressed in ethnic clothing, was sitting on the couch in the room, sleepily rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning, En-chan.

"......, good morning.

　A little girl who purses her eyes and lets out a cute lack of cooing - en.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

　Yuki took it out of the magic of storage and propped it up on the sofa, so it must have just now woken up and personified itself, at least when it was time to go to bed.

　She's really kind and caring.

......?　What are you doing?

　It's a good thing that you're not the only one.

I don't think I've seen you sleeping very often," she says. It's a good opportunity for me to take a closer look at it. Do you want to watch it, En?

"View ......

　With a nod, the little girl flopped down off the couch and walked to Yuki's sleeping bed, then slowly climbed into bed and sat down next to Nell, so as not to wake him up.

...... Lord, he's sleeping.

Yeah, you're sleeping.

"...... Lord's sleeping face, rare

You always wake up early, don't you?

　Yuki is always early in the morning.

　Apparently, he doesn't need much sleep while in the dungeon because the power is flowing into Yuki from the dungeon.
　Therefore, among the residents of the Demon King's Castle, I'm the second fastest to wake up after Liu, who is a very good sleeper, and it's not uncommon for me to wake up in the morning to find that breakfast is already ready, despite the fact that I had to help him.

　The day before, I had stayed up late playing the game board with Reffi.

　But instead, when they are outside the dungeon, they need a lot of food and sleep, perhaps to maintain their incredibly powerful bodies, and they still sleep much more than Nell.

　It is true that Yuki is not considered to be a gluttonous person, but since the time he left the forest of the demon world, he has been eating a surprisingly large amount of food.

　It's strange, but seeing the amount of food he eats, I feel like I've caught a glimpse of his strength as a demon king.

...... kind of cute.

"Huh, I know what you mean.

　The innocence of this sleeping face is a big gap between his usual dynamic and flirtatious appearance.

　It's not as bad as Rephi," Yuki always says, "I'm not as good as Rephi," but from the point of view of Nell, Yuki is also flamboyant enough to do and do what he does, and he's the kind of person who sometimes jokingly says, "I'm going to kick the hell out of the way.

　--You are a weird person.

...... looks a little like Lil'

"Yeah, really?

"....... . similar.

　En .

　At that moment, the voices of the two people entered his consciousness, and he flinched slightly.

　He opened his eyelids slowly, clenched them a few times, and then, seemingly catching sight of the two people sitting on the bed, bent his head in a slow motion and turned his head to face them.

Oh, good morning, man. Sorry, did we wake you up?

"...... Lord, good morning.

"...... is no . ......?　Why are you sitting on my bed?

It's a little . ." ......

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you go to the store.

...... right?

"Haha, that's true.

　The two people giggling, Yuki was tilting her head curiously.
