Volume 5 Chapter 1 Slow Life with the Girls
One day...
I, Zeke Vetarinari, had come to a lake in the beastman country.
"Ugh... I'm sleepy..."
I'm holding a fishing rod, letting the line hang in the lake.
'Zekeー. It feels so warm and niceー'
"Yeah, it does."
A white puppy is lying on my head.
This is the daughter of the Divine Beast King.
Haku.
She's the reason I came to this country.
It all started when I saved her after she collapsed in the forest.
'Zekeー. The sun is in my eyesー'
On my lap was Sia, a young dragon with silver scales.
She's the daughter of my friend, the Divine Dragon King.
"Oh, sorry."
I use my skill to create a parasol.
My right hand is the Right Hand of Divine Magic.
It started as healing magic, but now it's evolved into an unbelievably overpowered ability that can do just about anything.
It can fix anything, destroy anything... it has the power of creation and destruction.
I used it to create the parasol.
'Ah, this is just rightー...'
Sia breathes softly, looking comfortable.
I stroke her head while reeling in a fish.
"It got away."
'Hey, Zekeー. Should we go get it? Can we go in?'
Haku jumps down and suggests that.
"Nah, it's fine. We'll take it easy. We have time."
'Reallyー? You seemed so busy lately.'
"Yeah. Things have calmed down, for the most part."
Since I got here, I've been a Demon Lord, founded a country, and had to deal with attacks from the former Demon Lord's underlings...
I was aiming for a slow life, but things have been pretty hectic.
But after settling that business in the underground recently, things have been surprisingly peaceful.
"The marriage issue is finally settled, too."
"Marriage?"
And then, it happened.
"Zeke!"
I turned around to see a red-haired beauty and a blue-haired beauty approaching with smiles.
Chippy.
She was just an earth dragon at first, but she evolved and can now become human.
Cino.
She's my little sister.
"There you are! I was looking for you with Cino."
"Sorry. Huh? Cino, what's that?"
My sister was holding a basket.
"It's lunch! Chippy and I made it. Right?"
"Yep!"
The two of them giggled happily.
Ah, it's good to see them getting along.
The two of them used to fight all the time, but they've gotten along since that incident underground.
We spread out a picnic blanket and ate lunch.
"Here, big brother, say 'aah'♡"
Cino scooped up some ajillo with a spoon and held it out for me.
"Nah, I can eat it myself."
"Zeke, just say 'aah' properly."
Chippy said, her face serious.
"Really?"
"Yes, it's polite."
"Alright, 'aah'."
I let Cino feed me.
Delicious.
"Thanks, Chippy."
"No problem, Cino."
She smiled.
"Chippy, say 'aah'♡"
"Aah♡"
Cino fed ajillo to Chippy too.
'When did you two become such good friends?'
Haku asked me while munching on some bread.
"They've always been friends."
'Hmm, I see! It's good to be friends, after all!'
'...after all!'
We spent the afternoon like that, relaxing.
A refreshing breeze blew through the forest.
It rustled the grass in the meadow and the trees in the forest.
"Ah... this is relaxing."
Then, Cino and Chippy snuggled up close to me.
"By the way, big brother... about our plans for the afternoon..."
"There's nothing in particular, right...?"
With teary eyes, the two of them look up at me.
"Aren't we going to do something fun...?"
"Something fun, like what?"
"W-well, that's... um, it's embarrassing, so don't make me say it..."
Chippy blushes and wriggles her body, feeling shy.
Hmm, I wonder what it could be...?
"Big brother, it's something that feels good."
"Something that feels good, like what?"
"W-well, please don't make me say it, it's... embarrassing..."
Hmm, I really have no idea what the two of them are trying to say.
'Love is definitely in the air, SiaSia.'
'...Zeke, so popular.'
I don't really get it, but well, I just enjoy spending time with everyone like this.
"I wish this kind of time could last forever."
