Chapter 55 – New Generation Demon King
Roden, who stopped by a bakery not far or near and returned home with a bag full of bread, opened the living room door as if attracted by the savory smell of soup wafting from inside.
“Are you here, Uncle?”
“Uh, welcome, Mr. Roden.”
“Has everyone been waiting? You can eat first.”
“No matter what, there is such a thing as loyalty. I’m hungry, so sit down.”
The eyes of the twin sisters and Loxia, who were waiting at the table with four plates and paired spoons centered on a large saucepan with a base, were all focused on Roden.
Among them, Marill’s eyes were mixed with affection and regret.
“Hey… Mr. Roden, last night…!”
She tried to say something more, but she was interrupted by Roden’s motion as he shook her head, spreading her palms as if to stop talking.
“It’s not something to talk about before eating, so let’s talk later. And now, everyone is hungry, so let’s eat quickly.”
“Yes…”
After finishing the brief conversation, Roden, who sat next to the girl, placed the bread from the leather pouch on the table. Marill cut it into bite-size pieces, and Merim took her ladle and filled each person’s plate with soup from the pot.
Large and small lumps are floating around in the yellowish-yellow soup that exudes steam and a sweet smell.
Roden gently turned her head to look at her kitchen. Judging by the shape of the remaining thick top, it seems that the main ingredient of the soup is, of course, pumpkin.
Thanks to the happening right after waking up, the meal time was delayed a little, so the four of them immediately raised their spoons to satisfy their hunger.
Slurp, slurp.
“And.”
Although the type is completely different, it feels like re-tasting the soup the chef used to make. To think that a child who has just learned to cook can already create such an exquisite taste…
Marill, who is experiencing Roxia’s cooking for the first time, exclaims involuntarily and quietly continues her meal.
The pumpkin soup, which has both sweetness and softness at the same time, melted into my mouth and gently wrapped my empty stomach along the esophagus.
However, no matter how good the soup tastes, it alone cannot soothe an empty stomach in the morning.
By the time the four of them had eaten half of the soup, each of them picked up a piece of bread cut into a size that could fit in their hand, dipped it in the sweet soup and ate it, filling their stomachs as much as they emptied the table.
After a while.
The soup pot and plate were completely emptied, and only small crumbs remained in the bag containing the bread. Merim patted her stomach with her satisfied face.
“Whoa! I ate well.”
“Mr. Roden, I ate well. And the soup Roxia prepared was really good. Later, when the opportunity arises, she wants to learn how to cook it.”
“Ehehe… Thank you for the compliment, Marill. …Uh… Marill, right? To be honest, I still can’t get used to it.”
Roxia, who had shown a shy smile at her lavish praise, was looking curiously at her twin sister’s face across from her again.
There are various factors such as clothes, physique, face, and gait that distinguish people, but among them, the most important factor is hair, or, in other words, hairstyle.
The last time I saw the twins, I could immediately tell them apart thanks to the huge difference between long ponytail and short hair, but now that both of them have been unified with short hair, I have to differentiate them by way of speaking and dress.
Ughh, seeing that reaction, this is a lot more fun than I thought, right?
Merim, who was secretly enjoying the glances she alternated with her from time to time, nudged Marill’s side gently and said playfully.
“Hey, hey. Next time we visit the Adventurer’s Guild, let’s exchange clothes and equipment.”
“Okay. I’m not a kid anymore… Besides, if we switch gears, we’ll have to change again when we set off. It’s too much of a hassle.”
“Don’t be funny.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, get up. We got it, so at least we have to clean up after ourselves.”
“Yes, yes. Then, Roxia is waiting for a short break. She will put this away and start class right away.”
“All right.”
In response to her resolute refusal, Merim clicked her tongue and started clearing the empty plates and utensils from her table with her brother.
Roden, who moved right away, also packed up the potions she had stored in her cellar, filled the empty space on her display shelf, and flipped over the sign hanging on her shop door to start the day in earnest.
… Shortly after starting the business, she sold various types of medicines, such as health potions, antidotes, stamina, and contraception potions, to customers who came one after another. Approached.
“Mr. Roden starts his day like this. He usually has a very relaxed atmosphere, but in the morning he is secretly busy.”
“Anyway, the main customer base is adventurers, so they come in a lot in the morning and evening. Other than that, the atmosphere is the same as you know.”
Marill, who had completely changed her clothes before she was seen, was wearing a combination of her short-sleeved blouse and tight black leather pants.
From her point of view, the clothes were carefully dressed so that there was not much exposure, but contrary to her intentions, the beautiful curves of her well-shaped legs, narrow waist, and attractive breasts naturally stood out.
Anyway, when they were alone with Roden, Marill, recalling the night before, glanced up at her partner with her flushed face and then lowered her head.
“Mr. Roden, I’m sorry for many things yesterday. You dressed up like her older sister and did that, and you even talked rudely the whole time.”
“I got an apology from Merim yesterday, so there’s no need to do it again. How are you?
A little before her, Roxia was right next to her, and she couldn’t openly say anything because it was right before her meal. I hugged her so violently that she broke it. She was worried that the experience itself would remain a bad memory for Marill.
As if her feelings had been conveyed, Marill smiled softly at Roden and she moved closer.
“Yes. As you can see, I’m fine. Most of all, I did it because I wanted to. If you think about it from Lauren’s point of view, it wouldn’t be strange if she got angry, but thank you so much for worrying about me.”
Coming within reach of her breath, she glanced at her door just in case, then grabbed Roden’s hand and wiggled.
“And to be honest… I felt so good last night that I want to do it again if I get a chance. How was Roden? My body… Did you feel good?”
“…Yeah. I’m the same as Marill. It felt so good that I wanted to hug him again whenever I had a chance.”
“I’m glad… Can I hold your hand for a while like this?”
“It’s okay. People don’t come here often at this time of day.”
Marill said she held Roden’s hand for a long time, which made her very happy, but she became greedy for a hug. After she got permission from Roden again, he gave her a hug.
As if trying to prove that human greed is endless, Marill wanted more than this after she hugged her.
“Mr. Roden, kiss me like this … No, can I kiss you?”
She is currently in business, so she doesn’t know when the door will open, but since she started to love in earnest, such trivial things were okay.
Most people become reckless when faced with the word love. Right now, I want to kiss the other person and share my affection.
Roden responded with actions instead of words. She hugged Marilyn tightly and kissed her tightly.
“…Oops, yes…Ugh.”
Each other gets drunk with each other’s scent and the kiss never ends in a short period of time. Walking the extension line at the risk of it.
As they exchanged her saliva with a chug, Roden’s hand, which had begun climbing Marill’s body, slipped up and landed on her voluptuous breasts, beginning to gently knead it.
She opened her eyes wide for a moment, but didn’t hate it. I wish she would touch her more actively. The sticky and dense kiss between the two men and women continued until the sound of a jingling echoed through the door.
* * *
Same time.
Due to the absence of the Demon King for a long time, the Demon King’s absence completely lost a target to be deeply loyal to, and there were endless conflicts between high-ranking demons.
Conflicts that began with individual conflicts become fights between huge forces and powers at the end of the accumulation of emotions and time. In other words, it spread to civil war.
When the civil war had just begun, everyone expected that it would take at least 10 years for the Civil War to end completely, regardless of whoever came out victorious, as it was split into four factions—
The four factions were reduced to three in just six months.
The three forces were again reduced to two forces in four months.
The last two remaining forces were completely integrated in a short period of less than two months, and the civil war in the Mage Kingdom, which was predicted to last at least 10 years, came to an end in less than a year.
Escaros is the name of the Demon Tribe, who roamed the battlefield with overwhelming power incomparable to the heads of other factions, ended the civil war in an instant, and proudly called himself the Demon King of this generation.
From the time he was measured, he was judged to be first class, saying that he was born with the talent of the highest demon tribe. Now that about 10 years have passed since then, I have lived without knowing the word [Defeat] For the rest of my life to the extent that there is no equal opponent.
So I had no doubts. If he ends the civil war this time and reaches the crystal in the depths of the demon king’s castle, he will prove himself to be the demon king of this generation.
The day the civil war was declared over.
Escaros entered without hesitation into a secret room hidden in the throne room, where only the highest-ranking demons knew of its existence, and blew a vast amount of magic power in front of a crystal large enough for a person to enter. He wants to prove that he is the true demon king who will lead the demons of this generation.

…
But there was no reaction to the correction.
