"What?　Demon Lord?

What's wrong, Demon Lord?　It's a little unusual for you to come here.

　Iris and Tise's room.
　In this realm of nature, a Demon Lord who's tired of peace has come to visit.

I have too much time on my hands. What are Iris and Tise doing here?

　Aria let out a sigh as she answered their question.
　Aria, who can't stand still for long, doesn't like idyllic places like this realm.

　She also has a record of trying to hunt animals that are pets of Iris, so her threshold was a little higher.
　Still, he had no choice but to visit.
　Iris and Tise immediately understand how bored they are.

"Are you guys playing?

"Hey, hey, Iris!　You have to tell them you're working.

"Oh!

　Tise hurriedly covered Iris's mouth, but it was too late.
　In Aria's ears, she heard the bold confession.

　There was no way that Aria hadn't found out about their sabotage.
　Still, it would have been suicide to declare it in front of her.

　An unpleasant sweat slowly trickled down the cheeks of Iris and Tise.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's not like we have any enemies coming.

"......?　Thank you very much. Thank you, Demon Lord. ......

　Surprisingly.
　I'm not sure how I feel about that.
　I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with that.

"Look, Demon Lord, look. Flower headband. I made it with my sister. It's for you too.

　Iris toted a carefully crafted flower headdress from the back of the room.
　It had a large yellow flower at its center, surrounded by smaller white flowers.
　It was a piece of elvish taste, and not too shameful to be considered a trade item.

"Oh, I'm sorry--is this okay?

"Wow, it looks great. See?　Sister.

Yes, Iris. That's the Demon Lord.

　At Iris's urging, Aria placed the flower headdress on top of her head.
　The symmetry of her purple hair color and flower headband brought out a different color than Iris and the others.

　It was rare for Aria to dress herself up in this way.
　With a slightly embarrassed look on her face, she accepted the praise of Iris and Tise.

"But do you two always spend time making these?

"No. We play with our pets and fish in the pond there.

"My Lord. We have fishing rods, would you like to play with them?　You can fish from that window.

Right. Well, why don't you go to ...... and try it?

　Aria took the fishing rod that Tise was holding and dropped the line through the open window.
　There was a house right next to the pond, so she could fish while looking at the scenery.

　And then.
　The fish would bite at a speed that could be described as a bite.

"Oh my God!　What am I supposed to do?

"Like this--like this.

　The fish bites, but Aria doesn't know what to do after that.
　Then, Iris follows up as if she is familiar with the situation.

　She took the trembling fishing rod and fished lightly, leaning in close.

"You did it!　It looks good, but should I cook it?

"No. No, this fish is not good, you shouldn't eat it.

What do you do then?

Like this.

　So saying, Iris threw the fish high into the sky.
　Tise is used to seeing this.
　Aria is the only one who rolls her eyes.

"Ah!

　As the three of them watched the fish whirling through the air.
　A giant bird appeared out of nowhere and swallowed the fish into its stomach.

　Even the Demon Lord was surprised by this dynamic feeding.

"If I had attached a line to that fish, I might have caught that bird.

"My Lord, you can't do that to Iris's pet.

　This is how Aria spends her free afternoons in nature.
