Chapter 156 – Chapter 150 – Until the New Queen Comes (2)

The splendid brilliance that still remained in the living room was enough to catch the children’s attention.
Thanks to this, Hernán and the girls had time to pack the magic stone relatively comfortably.

“It’s a makeshift pocket, so it’s a bit flimsy.”

Karine tied a string to the cloth she had hastily packed from her special room.
She and she tightened it up into a pouch shape.

“I’ll make it stronger later. Coincidentally, there was also silk in the special room.”

Perhaps tired from using magic, Sharpie hadn’t said anything since before.
So, Ernan was the only one who answered Carine’s proposal.

“Do you really need to use silk? Use silk for children’s clothing, and add a little more cloth to reinforce durability.”

“Still…”

As if Carine was missing something, she muttered her words with a feeling of constant hesitation.

Hernán glanced at that figure and put her magic stones one by one in a temporary pouch.
And I confirmed that the cloth she was carrying was black.

It’s her favorite color ever.
Come to think of it, when Karine gave Hernan something, she always gave it in black.

She said that Hernán wanted to gift her in her favorite color.

“Gift…”

Hernan paused her hand holding her magic stone for a moment.
And she focused on the words she had just muttered.

That concentration didn’t take long before it turned to Karine.

“Carine.”

The hero, who had wiggled her fingers, quickly turned her head toward Hernán.

“If you’re going to give it to me, it would be better to give it as a gift in black silk, right?”

“Huh?”

Karine looked at Hernan with a confused expression for a moment.
But it wasn’t long before she put on a look of joy.

“You mean you can make it?”

Her face doesn’t show as much emotion as Sylnia or Potty.
However, since they have been together for a long time, it is easy to grasp the meaning of subtle changes in facial muscles.

“Coming to think of it, I don’t think a pocket that’s stronger than this would be worse.”

Carine smiled faintly at Hernan’s answer.
Hernan told her not to overdo it if she was busy, and kept putting her magic stone in her makeshift pouch.

Eventually, when all the magic stones in front of Hernan were filled, he raised his head towards Sharpie and Karine.

“Have you brought anything else? I hope we don’t make things that will cause each other to blush later.”

Hernán said, looking at Sharpie in particular.
Sharpie, who was staring blankly at the sky, smiled and handed her one of her magic stones.

“… I used this to make light earlier.”

As if she had any magic power left, the Sharpie told her to put this in her pocket as well.
And she turned her head to Karine, afraid it would end up in her pocket.

“But don’t you care about Carine?”

As if she hadn’t been quiet before, Sharpie poured out lively questions, mixing her snort.

“No matter how much better this body uses magic, it’s disappointing if you doubt only this side!”

“I can’t use magic.”

Before Hernan could speak further, Carine let out an annoyed voice.

“That’s why holding a magic stone doesn’t mean anything.”

“Still, she was a hero and even a princess? Even Karine’s level of basic magic…”

This time, Hernán answered.

“Really. Karine doesn’t match at all, so I can’t use her magic at all. She is almost no different from priests who use divine power.”

Since Karine volunteered to be her hero, she has received magical instruction from the royal mage several times.
However, even the most advanced wizards in the kingdom couldn’t teach Karine even basic magic.

When there was no progress, the royal family completely cut off the magic education that Karine had supported.
So I couldn’t even find out what the cause was, and I just guessed that magic was not suitable for me.

In fact, it was not a big problem for Karine because the strength of the divine blood was enough.

“And a sharpie.”

Hernan frowned as he put the magic stone that Sharpie gave him into his pocket.

“Why don’t you give up even one thing you put in your arms?”

“Yes?”

The demon king stopped moving for a moment and held his breath.
But he soon struck his forehead lightly with his fist in his unconcerned face.

“I got caught! After all, Hernan’s eyes can’t be fooled.”

Although he took on the role because it was a spare role, Hernán is a person who plays the role of a thief in the hero’s party.
I can’t help but notice Sharpie’s clumsy theft.

“Don’t play around with this.”

I don’t openly get angry because I’m in front of the kids, but I can’t help it that my eyes and tone become harsh.

Hernán stretched out his palm.

“If you’re not going to use healing magic right away, give it to me.”

If you are not going to use it right away, an instruction to put it out immediately.
Unless there’s a political reason, it’s a sharpie who always does a favor, so he’ll probably hand it over right away.

“Um… Nope.”

“What?”

Unexpectedly, however, the demon king refused to hand over the magic stone, continuing to make a fuss about him.

Karine was also surprised by that attitude, and opened her mouth with her eyes wide open.

“Sir, you can’t use attack magic here…”

“Such terrible magic, this body can’t use it!”

Sharpie smiled bitterly at her and waved her hand.
Hernan looked at the sharpie and gradually tensed the muscles of her whole body.

“But why not give it to me? Before making this wish, I already agreed to manage all the magic stones.”

The dreamer looked straight into Hernan’s eyes and nodded.

“That’s right. This body clearly agreed with that.”

“Then are you really thinking of using healing magic right away? If that’s the case, don’t make people nervous like this.”

Instead of answering right away, Sharpie let out a big sigh.
No matter how you look at it, her behavior was not like her usual.

Originally, it was all the more strange because he was a demon king who would not commit such unfavorable actions to himself.

“Sorry.”

Apologizing, the sharpie looked down at the magic stone she held in her hand.
It’s like saying sorry to that magic stone.

Then, she hesitantly turned her gaze to Hernan and Karine.

“Huh?”

Sharpie stopped her movement for the moment and looked at Karine with a strange look.

Meanwhile, at that moment, Hernán remembered the fact that magic stones are usually extracted from the corpses of demons.

Maybe she’s uncomfortable using magic with the corpses of dead people?
But didn’t she just cast the glow-creating magic with the magic stone twenty minutes ago?

As the flow of thought flowed to that point, Hernán suddenly cast his gaze at her unclosed magic stone pouch.

None of the mana stones he could see were the same.
All of them had their own unique shape and color, and they looked like jewels carefully carved by artisans.

Could it be that the magic stone has a different shape for each individual demon?
Sharpie can figure out who the original owner is just by looking at her magic stone?

Besides, if the magic stone she is holding belongs to her demon tribe that Sharpie knows about, she deserves to be shaken.

In the absence of any definitive information, this is just speculation, but it’s also a pretty good explanation for Sharpie’s bizarre demeanor.

“Sharpie. Maybe that magic stone…”

“Gift!”

At that time, Sharpie suddenly held out the magic stone before Hernán could finish his words.

And the place the magic stone was headed was towards Karine.

“Why me… ?”

Of course Karine looked at it with an expression of incomprehension.
The dreamer smiled and winked at her one eye.

“I heard that our hero can’t use magic at all? Then you can just think of it as a jewel!”

For a moment, both Carine and Hernan didn’t understand what they were saying, so they only looked at the demon king and the mana stone.

Sharpie smiled at him.

“Use it as an ornament like a real gem. Because I think it would suit Karine really well.”

Only then did Carine focus completely on the jewel.

Surprisingly, Karine didn’t refuse right away and waited, as if she liked it.
However, she pushed away Sharpie’s hand, as if she was worried about Hernán next to her.

“I really need this…”

“It will suit you really well. To support Karine’s beauty?”

However, the Demon King made her eyes shine and pushed the bluish-white magic stone so that Karine could see it better.
As Sharpie said, the glittering crystal matched Karine’s silver hair strangely.

Karine herself, seeing it over and over again, seemed to feel like she fit in with her.
No, because of her artistic flair, she probably knows that better than anyone else here.
“What can I do?”

She could neither accept nor reject Carine, once shaken, and she glanced sideways at Hernán.

“Sharpie.”

Hernan didn’t tell Carine, but called Sharpe, who was only looking at her Carine.
She closed her eyes and politely turned her body to Hernan’s.

“I’m sorry, but I think it would suit a hero really well. There seem to be quite enough magic stones anyway, so wouldn’t it be okay to use at least one as an accessory?”

As she said, her magic stone is quite sufficient.
If you only use healing magic, it will overflow.

It wouldn’t be a problem if I handed one to Karine who couldn’t use magic anyway.

But there is one thing that bothers me.

“It seems you’ve gotten a lot closer to Carine these days, right? Give me this gift too.”

At Hernan’s words, Carine jumped up.

“What? I’m with the devil? Absolutely not!”

“Hmm, really?”

Sharpie put on a sad expression and held her magic stone.

“We are still a family under one roof. If possible, you want to share the bed with Karine?”

From the moment she tried to establish her queen as her queen, Hernán clearly realized that her Sharpie was trying to ally with her.

Of course, it is unknown how effective it will be for Carine.
Because the hero hates the demon lord.

“Ugh…”

But even though Karine had a displeased expression, she didn’t show the sharp reaction she used to.

As if her confidence was attached to her attitude, Sharpie begged Hernan even more earnestly.

“Can’t I? A beauty like a warrior needs a suitable jewel!”

Contrary to Sharpie, Hernán felt uneasy that Karine showed less of her hostile reactions.
If the two become close, Sharpie can secretly use her magic with her magic stone that Karine has.

I would like to believe in them if possible, but it’s hard to let go of my mind as I’ve already been through women’s conspiracies several times.

“Your majesty! Would you listen to my request if I accepted the service of the concubine?”

Even though this face isn’t very comfortable, seeing that he persistently asked for it, there was something in that mana stone that urged Sharpie.

If so, it is difficult to draw conclusions right now.
We will be able to judge it only after knowing the circumstances of the sharpie more accurately.

“Don’t waste your time, hand it over.”

After speaking in a firm tone, Sharpie finally met Hernán’s eyes.
The heart eyes, which did not feel any emotions, were giving even a calm feeling.

Are you angry?

Contrary to Hernán’s concerns, the sharpie whispered to her tail and bent over her waist to hold out her magic stone.

“Here you are, Your Majesty.”

At first glance, a very gentle and polite attitude.
Her eyes and mouth were also perfectly smiling, so no negative emotions were felt.

However, Hernán’s intuition continued to send quite unpleasant sensations.

Like, don’t believe the smile in front of her eyes.
This smile thoroughly hides the dark emotions wriggling inside, so be careful.

He listened more to that intuition and opened his mouth.

“I’ll keep this aside for a while.”

The small bluish-white mana stone went into the inner pocket of Hernan’s coat instead of a temporary pouch.

“I’ll decide later whether to give this to Carine.”

“… Later?”

The Demon King stopped wagging his tail at his words.
Hernán replied, trying not to miss a single signal.

“Okay, later. In the meantime, this is prohibited.”

Except for the sounds of children chattering, there was silence in the living room.
A little later, the man and woman, who had recently been in frequent conflicts, looked into each other’s eyes and opened their mouths at the same time.

“And I will sleep with you, Sharpie, tonight.”

“Tonight, as a regular supplement, with this body…”

The two finally made a slightly relaxed expression.

Sharpie, in particular, melted her atmosphere with a casual laugh as usual.

“Tonight, super hot night!”

“Don’t say that in front of the kids.”

Whether it’s because of the conversation with the body or the conversation with the mouth, tonight is going to be quite a long time.

And either way, you’ll find out a little more about this secretive dream horse.

Hernán stood up, feeling the cool mana stone felt from the inside of his jacket.

“Let’s take the kids to the nursery soon. I have to spend the rest of the day.”

“Huh!”

Sharpie got up after Hernán.
And Karine hurriedly brought her words out.

“Hey, wait!”

However, since the two of them had already gone in between the children, it seemed that they couldn’t hear Karine’s words.

Karine looked at him blankly, then muttered dissatisfiedly.

“Are you not sending Ernan to my room again today? And when will Hernán’s waist be fixed?”

She felt that when Hernán made eye contact with her Sharpie, she seemed to forget herself.
