Chapter 228 – Chapter 221 – Childbirth (8)

“Time flies.”

Demon King Shafikara raised himself with a leisurely motion.

“Mom? Do you want to go down now?”

“Huh. It’s almost evening time.”

Ella, who was chattering in the demonic language next to her, grabbed Sharpie’s hand and pulled him.

“Watch out, Mom! Brother coming soon Ella, hold her hand tight.”

“Oh, Ella is all grown up.”

Smiling with a full-term stomach, the demon king rose from the flower garden holding his daughter’s hand.
Thanks to this, colored petals fluttered behind her with the glow of the setting sun.

If Silnia, an elf, saw it, it would have been a scene that would cause a fight by saying that she ruined the flower garden she had cultivated again, but Silnia is preparing after giving birth anyway.

I won’t be coming to the garden for a while.

“Excuse me… Mom.”

“Huh.”

“Are you really going to get out of here when the younger siblings on the mother’s boat come out?”

“Huh!”

The demon king headed for the door, matching his walking speed with his young daughter.

“If you leave… Are you going out with your mother?”

Feeling relaxed, I held her daughter’s hand without changing my expression.

“My Ella, are you talking weird? Then mom won’t go out?”

Then he hit his daughter’s tail with his tail.
Ella probably understands because she is a very smart and clever child.

“Hmm…”

The child wrung her tail and squeezed her lips shut.

Since she once asked Ella if she would be able to get along without her mother, she asks this very occasionally.
Of course there is no answer to that.

It’s because the Demon God can hear and see through you, but you shouldn’t say anything.

“Today is the day Marina and Dad have dinner. Are you looking forward to Ella too?”

She naturally turns her words around, and the child responds to it as well.

“… Huh. But Ella prefers Carine’s mom to do it.”

“Mom too. Karine is good at anything she does with her hands.”

The Demon King opened the garden door and started going down to Karine’s studio.

* * *

“Will Karine be in the studio?”

The garden is a structure that can only be accessed by going through Karine’s studio.
If you go to and from her garden like today, you can run into her with a high probability.

In strange anticipation, the demon king quietly opened the door leading to the studio.

“… So, isn’t it strange! The first time I saw it, I gave it chocolate and everything, but since you were pregnant, you didn’t let me eat it at all.”

“What is so strange about that! Yo, the warrior-nim called me and I came all the way, but did you call me to stir things up like this?”

“Interstitial? Do you only understand people’s words that way?”

It seemed that Karine wasn’t the only one inside.
Sharpie smiled at her daughter who glanced at her sideways and pointed her downstairs.

“Do you want to practice cooking with Marina and Dad below?”

She loosened her grip on her daughter.
But Ella, on the contrary, took hold of her own mother with her hand.

“It looks like Karine’s mom and Potty’s mom are fighting. You can’t have two.”

“So mom is going? Is she worried about going to her mother?”

“That…”

As her daughter showed hesitation, the Sharpie whispered into Hernan’s black heart eyes.

“Mom, do you want a chocolate drink today? Will you go down and have Ella prepare it for you?”

The demon king let go of her daughter’s hand as soon as he finished his words.
Ella staggered slightly at the sudden action and took a step back from her.

“Soon it’s evening. Hurry.”

The child looked up at her mother with her eyes slightly widened, but Sharpie only saw her daughter off with her determined smile.

“… Okay. I’ll tell Dad about the chocolate.”

After Ella was gone, Sharpie put her ear to the crack in her door, wearing a completely different, melancholy expression.

“Isn’t it strange? Have you ever gone into heat after eating that chocolate?”

“Now, stop asking useless questions! They called me to the studio today, so I thought they were trying to match clothes for their new born children, but what the hell are you talking about?”

Potty’s voice was furious.
Right before her pregnancy, she is in a state full of energy, unlike the time when she was dying from the demon’s magic circle.

“Have you never been in heat? It is said that rabbits automatically go into heat when they have sex anyway. In other words, there is no fixed estrus cycle.”

“Ha, really!”

Sharpie peered into her eyes through the crack in her door, revealing Potty’s ears poking over the curtains in her studio.

“Are you jealous right now?”

“Jealousy?”

“Yo, the hero had a hard time getting pregnant with twins, and I’m twice as pregnant, so I’m sick to my stomach!”

Sharpie, reminded of the moment Potty’s pregnancy was revealed, let out her voiceless sigh.
Even if you have two wombs like a rabbit, how can you do that?

“Because I’m pregnant with 4 people!”

The moment those words came out, she let out a deep and suppressed voice that even the demon king could hear.
On the contrary, Potty’s voice became more elastic.

“So, since I’m being pushed, I’m going to make it annoying and difficult somehow to cause a miscarriage!”

“Quiet. Anyone who hears it will misunderstand… !”

Karine’s voice was intimidating.
According to her personality, she should have said something nonsense here, but what Potty brought up about her was a very unfavorable topic for Karine.

“Misunderstanding? During my first pregnancy, you tortured me like I was dying, right? Even now, no, it’s the same!”

Even though I couldn’t see it, I could feel Karine’s despondency.

“No. I just have my doubts…”

“All right, all right. I’ll go to the living room first.”

In contrast, Potty made her way into the living room, making her footsteps louder.
Being pregnant with quadruplets may have weighed on your body, but the increased confidence from the quadruplet pregnancy probably also contributed to the loud footsteps.

“Because El will be very angry if the child falls through someone else’s fault.”

This grievous moan spread throughout the studio.
The moaning turned into a miserable groan as Potty closed the door and left.

And into that sigh, Sharpie entered with the laughter she made up.

* * *

Upon entering, the Demon King gave a polite greeting.

“The Demon King Appears!”

“Shah, sharpie?”

Sharpie pulled back the curtain with a flashy motion.

“Were you here? I wanted to see our warrior’s face!”

Then, there was a warrior who was quickly wiping away the traces of tears.

“D, were you listening? Stealthily?”

“Then did you think the demon king would listen to the meeting of the warrior party confidently? You are naive, hero!”

With a dumbfounded face, the warrior looked at the demon king.
Sharpie also looked down at the warrior with a confident smile and exchanged glances with her.

“So the wizard said that he found out about the demon lord Shafikara’s scheme, Hero Karine?”

“You… You…”

Sharpie, who spoke her words in a dignified voice to Carine, who was still bewildered, made her laugh.

“How is it? Does it look like the demon king from the children’s room’s storybook? Aren’t you dignified?”

“There, all the fairy tale demon kings are killed by the warrior party. Aren’t you even embarrassed?”

“Will you try too? This is the demon weakness.”

The demon king giggled and reached out his long index finger and touched the center of his breastbone.

“A place where you can pierce the mana stone and the heart at the same time. The number one death of the demon king of all time!”

Karine shook her head and muttered, as if she couldn’t stand this joke.

“I still don’t know what you’re thinking.”

The demon king stretched out his hand towards the hero.

“This body too. I often get anxious because I don’t know what other people are thinking.”

The hero raised his blue eyes, which gave off a cold feeling.

“You? A dreamer playing with people’s minds?”

“Huh. Humans and demons are all the same.”

Even speaking without interruption, Sharpie felt resistance.

Should I tell you now?
Wouldn’t it be better to prepare and speak?
There are still some left to fill the number of people.

But instead of leaning her mouth against her hesitation, she spoke the words she had been preparing for a long time.

“Isn’t there such a thing as brainwashing magic?”

In an instant, a fire broke out in Karine’s cold eyes.

“Why bring that up here! And it’s not brainwashing magic! I just have a magic that raises my feelings…”

Karine, who understood the story of the brainwashing magic she had cast on Hernán, stood up in a fit of fuss.
The Demon King drew a skillful smile while hiding the hand he had reached out to the hero.

“I know this body too.”

“You know what! That Satan was born because of your empty wish.”

“No, I know. What Karine tried to cast was a magic that only slightly raised her crush.”

Her heart beats every time she hints at Carine or Hernan in this way.

Is it because of the tension in the relationship?
Or is it the fear that this time the devil will find out his intentions?

“Don’t joke…”

“Karine’s affinity magic. Did that really exist?”

The warrior’s face was still full of doubts.
The Demon King decided to answer that question.

“This body has been put to good use.”

Karine’s expression changed as if she had met a grotesque monster now.

“I understand… What do you mean?”

“Huh? You did that He said he cast a spell on liking.”

Shafikara put her index finger to her mouth and licked it lightly with her red tongue.

“The sexual desire suppression magic on Hernan’s head. There is also a magic that raises the favorability a little, right?”

“Well, what about brainwashing magic? Did the demon lie?”

“No. Our warrior pretends to be too innocent.”

The demon king who was talking suddenly felt uncomfortable inside.
Something pretty disgusting about her was like her morning sickness that plagued her every time she was pregnant.

Or maybe it’s just the conversation right now.

“Of course there must be brainwashing magic. Without that, there’s no way Hernán would be so helpless with Carine? The proof is that he became cold towards you as soon as the magic was released.”

Unlike the feeling of vomiting, the words came out smoothly as always.

“But no matter how bad the feeling of betrayal was, the moment the magic disappeared! Hasn’t Hernan become a little too cold? Brainwashing magic is magic that makes you obey orders, even though it’s not magic that creates a crush you didn’t have.”

Karine took a step back.
It didn’t seem like a conscious act.

An inadvertent act due to the tension felt in the current situation.
However, Sharpie was slightly depressed by that step back.

Of course, her acting skills did not deteriorate enough to show it on her face.

“But what if the feeling of liking that was forcibly maintained high by magic suddenly drops? And if it stays that way?”

In such a situation, when another love squeezes in, the original love is pushed back.

“Hernan is great too. How could he remain so sane while carrying magic all over his head? Rather, considering that he took care of accidents and played a role that women could lean on, he was not an ordinary human, right?”

There was no answer.
It wasn’t even a conversation that needed an answer anyway.

“Seeing that he also uses divine power, isn’t he really an ordinary human?”

“Devil.”

Karine finally opened her mouth and asked a question.

“Still… Is that affinity for L also enchanted?”

“No. Doesn’t exist.”

The magic that used to control likability through seeing blue eyes and red eyes has disappeared.
That’s probably why Hernan was able to restore her relationship with Karine again.

No, if it was Hernan, would he have recovered later on his own even if he didn’t break the magic?

“The only thing left in Ernan’s head is the sexual desire suppression magic.”

“What you say now. Is my understanding correct?”

“If you’re asking if it’s true that this body has touched Hernan’s affinity with magic…”

The demon king narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms.

“Okay. That makes sense.”

“You!”

Carine opened her eyes and strode forward.
It was so intimidating that her body almost shrank on its own.

But Karine trembled her fists, and she took no further action.
She might be affected by her full-term body, but rather, she seemed to be suppressing her emotions on her own.

If she had shown such restraint from the beginning, she would not have fallen to this position.

“This topic today. And the last potty chocolate. Why are you telling me all these things? What benefit do you have?”

Okay.
If the Demon God is watching this, he will have the same question, right?
I’m not sure if I’m really watching when I see that I’m busy these days and I can’t even feed on time.

Shafi calculated the time for Ella and Hernán to come up, hooked Carine and leaned down.

“Ugh!”

Karine expressed her bewilderment as if she did not know that the weak demon lord, who was competing for the rank, would act like this.

Taking advantage of that gap, the demon king quickly stabbed his horse.

“If we get out of here, we all decided to go to the territory of demons, right?”

“… For now.”

“Not once. We will still be there.”

Karine tried to say something of hers, but the sharpie, using the moment she caught her breath, pushed her words back to his own.

“You know better that the human gods won’t leave us alone, right? We will live under the protection of the Demon God.”

“So?”

“That is to live under the body of the demon king. You must live in obedience to the commands of this body.”

“What?”

The Demon King, who was elected through a democratic vote, took a step closer and brought Karine and her face into close contact.

“And you, as the head of the warrior party, the hero of mankind, and the hero, become the devil’s servant.”

Various emotions appeared on Karine’s face, but the biggest share of them was absurdity.

And in fact, the demon lord himself thought Karine would feel that way too.
The Demon King wanted that emotion to change differently.

With something a little rougher.

“You can serve as proof that humanity has been defeated by the demons. I’ll live as this body’s secretary, and if the people here don’t listen, I’ll treat you like you did in the past.”

Karine’s brow furrowed.

“Do you like it? In the realm of demons, the birthplace of magic, I’ll make Hernan’s love completely yours.”

“You are going to touch Hernán again with magic…”

“Is it okay if I just cast a favor magic?”

“Such a problem…”

“You can’t believe in this body’s ability?”

The demon king whispered quickly.

“You kept telling me until now. When I first came here, this body, which was the weakest, eventually caused the lovers to split and the hero to fall to the bottom of the warrior party.”

Karine’s body trembled violently.
The Sharpie forcibly squeezed out the remaining energy from her body and cast a faint healing spell.

I don’t want pregnant women to be so shocked that they cause problems.

“But what if I get out of here? With this body, you can use magic at will, and with the grace of the Demon God, you can control demons as you please. I’ll give Karine all her love and power you want.”

“Ella! Don’t run on the stairs!”

Hernan’s voice came from afar.

“Hero.”

The sharpie brought her mouth to Karine’s ear.

“Think about it well until we reach 25 and then give us an answer. If you don’t answer before we leave, I’ll just do whatever I want with my body.”

When her footsteps had almost reached the sharpie, she gave her last words.

“To be honest… Do you like this body too? To the point where I want to monopolize it.”

While Karine was startled and shivering, the sharpie removed her body.
The demon king turned to his daughter and husband, who were approaching with a wink in his red heart eyes.

Behind her, the warrior’s words were quietly heard.

“Were you just playing around? From the beginning?”

I hope you think so.
Everyone here, including the drunk.
