I had brought Draco-chan to Lisia-chan’s mansion…
“Ugh! Where am I!?”
In Lisia-chan’s room, Draco-chan woke up on the bed.
…Looking at her again, she’s such a beautiful girl.
With fluffy, long amethyst hair and a stunning body that would make even a gravure idol flee in embarrassment, she stood tall.
If it weren’t for the black horns on her head and the dragon tail sprouting from her backside, one would hardly believe she was a member of the Demon Race.
“Good morning, Draco-chan.”
“……”
Draco-chan looked at me with a suspicious glare.
“What do you want? You saved me, but what’s your goal?”
Draco-chan was currently wearing pajamas I bought from KAMIZON. Of course, I couldn’t just leave her naked.
“I don’t have any ulterior motive.”
“W-will you not kill me…?”
“Of course not! I would never kill a young child.”
At that, Draco-chan’s face drained of color.
“Ah, it’s over… Mama… I’m going to be killed by the Evil God…”
“What are you talking about? I’m not going to kill you!”
“But I’m 300 years old…”
Wait, she’s that old!? Despite being 300 years old, she acts so childishly…?
～～～～～～
Demon Race Age
→ Demons live longer than humans, similar to elves.
100 years for a demon is equivalent to 1 year for a human.
～～～～～～
So, Draco-chan is actually three years old…
She closed her eyes, knelt down, and looked up at the ceiling.
“W-what are you doing…?”
“It’s been passed down through generations that if a Demon Race loses a battle, they must offer their head…”
Scary!? Is this the Warring States period!?
“I don’t need your head…”
“Huh!? Y-you don’t want a demon’s head!? Even after winning the battle!?”
Is it customary to offer one’s head after losing a battle…?
“W-well, then… what was the purpose of fighting me…?”
“Well, you were the one who attacked first…”
It was the Wyvern King and this girl who initiated the conflict.
“Ah, I did defeat the Wyvern King, but I’m sorry about that.”
“No, it’s fine. This world is survival of the fittest. The weak deserve to be eaten.”
Isn’t this world a bit too brutal…?
“The Wyvern was my father’s pet, and he was bullied… so I don’t feel sad about it being defeated.”
Sounds like a complicated family situation…
“The Evil God doesn’t want my head. If I go back like this, my father will kill me… What am I supposed to do…?”
…What should I do from here?
From what she said, it seems the Demon Race is in conflict with humans.
Moreover, it appears they are planning to wage war against the human realm again.
It would be easy to declare the Demon Race as evil and eliminate this child.
But… I don’t want to do that.
Because she doesn’t seem like a bad child.
However, if I leave her, her father will surely do terrible things to her.
Just then, a loud growl echoed from Draco-chan’s stomach.
“You’re hungry, huh?”
“…Hic… Yes…”
But it’s already past noon.
Everyone must have already eaten.
Caro-chan is probably washing the dishes after lunch.
Should I buy some food from KAMIZON? Or… wait.
She was just eating chocolate so happily a moment ago.
If she has something sweet, it might lift her spirits. Alright.
“Do you want some snacks?”
“Yes! I want to eat!”
I purchased some snacks from KAMIZON.
Since she’s three years old, she might prefer something like this over fancy treats.
“First, here you go.”
“……What is this? So thin? Paper…?”
It’s a palm-sized sheet snack.
It’s Kabayaki-san Taro.
“It’s delicious!”
“I want chocolate, not this…”
Despite her words, Draco-chan carefully unwrapped the package and took a bite.
“!? What!?”
“How is it?”
“It’s sweet and salty, and it’s sooooo good!”
Draco-chan thumped her dragon tail against the floor with excitement.
“A snack that’s sweet and salty!? I’ve never had anything like this before!”
“I see. Well then… how about this next?”
It’s Baby Star Ramen.
Draco-chan ripped open the bag.
“What is this? It’s dry…? A snack…?”
“Yes. It’s delicious. Give it a try.”
“Okay!”
She’s so honest.
Draco-chan took a bite of the Baby Star from her palm.
Crunch, crunch…
“It’s yummy! It’s salty and delicious!”
“After salty, how about this one?”
In a transparent plastic container, there was a reddish liquid and a pickled plum.
I poked a straw into it and handed it to Draco-chan.
“What is this?”
“It’s a drink. You suck it through the straw.”
Draco-chan sucked on the plum…
“~~~~~~~!”
Her face scrunched up adorably. So cute.
“Sour! It’s sour, but also sweet! What a strange flavor! I’ve never tasted anything like this!”
“Is it good?”
“Yes! What else do you have~?”
Though she looks like an adult, she’s still a child at heart (three years old).
With every new snack she tries, she exclaims, “So yummy!” and “I’m so happy~♡.”
Just then…
Knock, knock…
“Mika-okaasan.”
“Lisia-chan.”
The Young Girl Lord, Lisia-chan, came over.
“Sorry for using your bed.”
“Huh? Is this its bed…? Crunch, crunch…”
“Yes, it is.”
“Oh, I see. Thanks for that.”
Draco-chan bowed her head to Lisia-chan.
Oh my, what a polite and good child.
Lisia-chan’s eyes widened in surprise.
But then… she chuckled softly.
“You’re welcome. More importantly… what are you eating?”
“This is… dagashi! It’s delicious!”
“Dagashi! Oh… it looks tasty…”
Lisia-chan stared intently at the snacks on the bed.
Then Draco-chan looked at me.
“U-um… Evil God.”
“I’m not an Evil God, but what is it?”
“This dagashi… can I share it with this big sister?”
Big sister…?
You mean Lisia-chan? Well, since Lisia-chan is five years old, I guess she would seem like a big sister to a three-year-old.
But… oh my. It seems she has the concept of sharing.
What a good child.
“Of course.”
“Thank you! Hey, you, take this! It’s a thank you for the bed!”
Draco-chan handed one of the bags she had to Lisia-chan.
“Wow! Thank you! What is this?”
“I’ve never eaten this dagashi before.”
“Mika-okaasan! What is this?”
Lisia-chan is a clever girl.
She immediately understood that this dagashi was something I had provided after witnessing the exchange.
“This is Unmei-bo.”
“Unmei-bo…?”
“Yes. Literally, it’s delicious.”
Draco-chan ripped open the bag.
Lisia-chan seemed to struggle a bit with opening the bag since it was her first time.
“Here. Like this.”
“Wow! Thank you!”
…From the outside, it looks like an adult and a child.
But inside, they are a three-year-old and a five-year-old. What a mismatch.
Yet… they are getting along well.
The two of them happily munched on the Unmei-bo.
“Wow! This is… crunchy!”
“It’s delicious! It’s salty and crunchy, and it’s so good!”
The two of them were enjoying the Unmei-bo, crunching away.
“Salty? Mine is a bit sweet!”
“What!? I want to try yours too! Can I have a little?”
“Sure! Here you go!”
“Thank you!”
I don’t know about the conflict between demons and humans. I have no interest in it.
But… Draco-chan, a demon, can get along with Lisia-chan, a human.
At least, this child can.
Seeing the two of them getting along, I made my decision regarding Draco-chan’s fate.
“Draco-chan, would you like to become my adopted child?”
“Adopted…?”
“I mean, would you like to be my child?”
“Will you become my mama…?”
“That’s right.”
I can’t just leave Draco-chan as she is.
However, for the people of the Dead End Territory, leaving a demon would surely cause them mental distress.
So, I will become this child’s mother and make her a Familiar.
That way, even if she were to go wild, I could control her, and if the demon side retaliated, I would have a justification to protect her.
“Will you really become my mama…?”
“Yes.”
Draco-chan’s face lit up with joy.
Lisia-chan blushed and snuggled up to Draco-chan.
“Wow! I have a little sister now!”
“No, no, since she’s three years old, Lisia-chan is the older sister.”
“Yay! My long-awaited… little sister! Wow! I’m so happy! Thank you, Mika-okaasan!”
Lisia-chan, clinging to Draco-chan, looked genuinely delighted.
Meanwhile, Draco-chan smiled sweetly.
“Thank you… Mika Mama!”
Mika-sama, who has become a mother of three without being married.
