Chapter 5

The Royal Decree

“…………”

“It looks good, Cecilia-sama. Because your skin is very white, cute dresses look very good on you.”

“Yep. Cute. But because any kind of clothes look good, conversely it’s a little troubling.”

the burden of choice~

In the afternoon, the tailor visited Oliver’s mansion.

Cecilia’s whole body was measured and she has currently become a dress-up doll. Wearing clothes and receiving admiration from Oliver. Rinse and repeat.

Cecilia, having given up and unable to say anything, just let them do as they like to her.

sometimes giving up just savesenergy

Regardless of Cecilia’s opinion, those that Oliver said were cute were all bought.

….what happened to choosing

“Next, it would be good to have a few cute nightclothes. Also some rough indoor clothes.”

“Indeed. I have prepared a few cute articles.”

variety in clothes never ceases to amaze me

The plan is to buy the clothes in stock today, then have the order-made ones sent over at a later date.

Cecilia’s opinion of not needing this many clothes was of course not taken into consideration.

THERE CAN NEVER BE ENOUGH KAWAII

“A cap might be cute too. And the—n?”

“Is something the matter?”

“Ah, excuse me. I have a little business to take care off, so is it okay to end here for today? I will buy the clothes that Cecilia has worn, as they are. For the order-made clothes, bring them over after making a few of them.”

“Understood.”

what can be more important then cecilia’s clothes?

A complete change from his bright att.i.tude before, Oliver briskly gave out instructions. Picking up his beloved sword that was leaning against the wall, he pulled on Cecilia’s hand and sat Cecilia down on the Cecilia-use sofa.

The tailor was packing up, but without minding that, Oliver enjoyed stroking Cecilia’s hair.

nadenade

“Sorry, I will be out a little, so wait here.”

“……”

not like she can run

Cecilia nodded at Oliver’s words.

The one that could not stand being separated was Oliver only, Cecilia did not particularly care. Sadly, it is Oliver’s unending one way road.

no return traffic : P

“Then, I’m off.”

bye~

With a last pet to her head, Oliver left the living room.

don’t come back~

“……”

“Without Oliver-sama, are you lonely?”

“……No.”

ofc not

Cecilia honestly replied to the tailor who had spoken to her with a gentle tone.

Hearing the words of denial that Cecilia responded with, the tailor felt that she was a strong young lady. Of course those were Cecilia’s true thoughts, but n.o.body would think of that.

Cecilia, be more expressive~

“…………I think, it would be better to leave from the back.”

“Okay——?”

“Because the front, seems to be crowded.”

“Ah, about Oliver-sama. Thank you for your concern.”

unnecessary concern…

Honestly accepting Cecilia’s concern, the tailor thanked her.

Actually, being a merchant, she originally entered and left through the back entrance, but Cecilia still does not know that. After this, it will be an incident that she will reluctantly remember as long as she is in the mansion, but somehow it seems to be getting filled with Oliver.

“Then, I will excuse myself.”

“Thank you.”

bye~

With a small bow, Cecilia saw off the tailor.

thanks for the dress-up doll experience~

“…….fuu.”

finally alone time~

With a posun, she leaned back on the soft sofa.

Pulling up her legs onto the sofa and up to her chest, she rested her head on her knees.

limited for only when oliver is absent~

“…………why am I, being left alive.”

because cuteness is immortal

The questioned that Cecilia was constantly thinking about, was formed into words.

Cecilia felt like her head was a mess. The reason, is the current Oliver.

Although he left the mansion on business, he is currently in the mansion’s entryway. Although Cecilia acts carefree usually, she is still the demon lord.

She could tell that in the entryway, there was Oliver’s presence and multiple others, those of strong people.

welp thas bad

Well, it’s not like Cecilia will be doing anything though.

 

“……the presences of, those people that invaded the castle, and a lot more weaker people?”

mob?

—Could it be, they came to capture me?

That question floated up in Cecilia’s mind. Oliver might be talking to them in the entryway without inviting them in because of that.

i dont thin he would bother being considerate because of that

“……”

—just, kill me instantly.

…no

Oliver is buying furniture, buying clothes, treating Cecilia so preciously—but nothing has been conveyed at all.

pause

pause

“What’s going on, Oliver!!”

“That’s the demon lord right!?”

yes

The ones that have come to the mansion are the party members that went with him to the demon lord’s castle, and soldiers dispatched from the castle.

He is being questioned about why he let the demon lord live and even brought her home. Aorith shouted, “Bring out the demon lord immediately”, but Oliver shook his head.

Why does he have to show such a cute Cecilia to such a violent angry guy?

only at this times he got it right

“Erm, Oliver. Currently, what is the demon lord doing?”

“I think she’s resting.”

not much else to do

The one that said that as she soothed Aorith was the one that was in charge of healing in the party, Elna.

Having constantly been worried about Oliver who suddenly kidnapped the demon lord, she felt uneasy about him declaring that he will not hand over the demon lord. What exactly happened to Oliver?

But, being told that the demon lord was resting, she could only be confused.

what did you expect….

“Erm, what does, Oliver intend to do with the demon lord?”

“To do—?”

keep!

Oliver was horribly shaken by Elna’s words.

What does he want to do with Cecilia? Until now, he had not clearly thought about it. Currently, she is just cute, so cute that he couldn’t help it.

that works

—what do I intend to do, huh.

In the morning, the first thing he wants to do is to greet her good morning.

He wants to brush his teeth standing next to her at the sink, he also wants to prepare breakfast together.

On days with work, have her see him off at the entryway.

Because she will definitely become lonely, hurry up, finish work and return.

And then, Cecilia who was preparing dinner would come to the entryway in an ap.r.o.n to greet him.

And then “Would you like diner? Would you like a bath? or would you like—“

no

“—……kuu, too cute!!”

“O, Oliver?”

it’s a pervert

Clenching his fist, Oliver was knocked out by Cecilia’s cuteness.

Elna was worried about what was wrong, but that is not related to Oliver. The current him, is at his limit with Cecilia.

capacity overoad

“Sorry. Oliver-sama, please hand over the demon lord.”

“Captain……”

no!

One of the troops standing by came all the way to the front. It was as if his brawny figure displayed his rank.

He, the soldier captain, has received an order from the king to capture the demon lord. He had thought that he would be able to quickly have Oliver hand over the demon lord—but the clouds seemed suspicious.

Coming to the front in a hurry, he requested it directly.

well, I only know one slim knight’s captain…with long green hair

Elna backed down a little and yielded the front to the soldier captain.

There was a tense atmosphere, but she watched what Oliver would do. However without minding that, he shook his head.

this hero is bad at reading moods

“I can’t do that.”

“Why is that?”

“Eh—? Why? Cecilia is my cute person.”

I would love to say beloved…but he literally said cute person…and meant it that way

“…………yes?”

yeah, that’s not a common word

Voices rose from everyone there.

Is this what it means for eyes to become points? “Cute person?”, voices like that also came from here and there. Dozens of troops frowned and showed their confusion.

But the most confused among them, was Elna.

didnt you see cecilia’s cuteness?

“E, er. Oliver, what does that mean exactly?”

“What? Exactly as it means.”

“Exactly as it……”

shouldnt you understand?

—does that, mean you like her?

Elna opened her mouth to say that and stopped. Because if Oliver said “yes” here, she didn’t think she could recover.

RIVAL GA KITAAAAA

Cute person. Even though he said it himself, Oliver grinned at that.

Ah, I want to quickly go back inside. What is Cecilia doing right now? Only those thoughts ran through his mind.

no pay attention to your current situation…

“—meaning, you cannot hand over the demon lord to us?”

“Yeah.”

mhhm

Oliver instantly answered the soldier captain.

Hand over the demon lord? That is unthinkable.

soldier captain sounds strange, I wish the author just made it knight captain

“Oliver-sama. This is, an order from his majesty. Do you intend to deny his majesty’s words?”

“…….”

even the hero hesitates here?

Once again, the soldier captain asked to confirm.But, Oliver didn’t say anything. Because that answer was decidedly a yes.

Because even if told by the king, even if told by G.o.d, he has no intention of letting go of Cecilia.

tell her that directly

“Weren’t you, a great hero!?”

yes, was

Certainly, Oliver is great.In terms of strength and personality, there is nothing that can be criticised as a hero.

The soldier captain lowered his waist and put his hand on his sword. Oliver adjusted his grip on his beloved sword. If they fought one-on-one, there is no mistake that the captain would lose.

But, being a royal decree, returning like this is not an option. The moment the soldier captain was about to draw his sword—Elna’s voice interrupted that.

stah

“Please return to sanity, Oliver!!”

“I’m as usual though.”

no, i doont think so

Elna had thought that he has surely been affected by the demon lord’s miasma or something. In that case, that she might be able to heal it.

She tried to cast recovery magic—but, there was nothing strange.

you cant heal cute-charm

“……Elna, I am very much sane.”

“But, you…..Oliver. To keep the demon lord in your mansion, is strange.”

“—For now, can you go home already for today?”

waste of time~

Oliver declared that and extended a hand to his own beloved sword.

He does not want any more of his precious time with Cecilia stolen.

Unsheathing the sword from the scabbard, he swung once. With just the wind caused by that, everyone’s stance crumbled and fell backwards. With pale faces, the legs of the soldiers trembled.

well, he did instakill the demonk lord

“Th, th th, this is the hero’s power!?”

“This is too weird, in too many ways!”

yes it is

Seeing some soldiers run away, Oliver opened his mouth.

todomeda!

“Next time, I will swing seriously.”

“……!”

run~

Narrowing his eyes, he glared at them.

The cold voice that was much lower than usual made them understand that he was serious.

cecilia withdrawal? in a few minutes?

“That’s, a lie right……Oliver.”

“Elna, come here. Let’s return for today?”

don’t come back~

Irina supported Elna and retreated to the back.

While the other members also seemed pained, they chose to back off for today. That is because they all understood that n.o.body could win against Oliver when he becomes serious.

maybe demonlord if you protect her?

‘They finally returned’, thinking that, Oliver watched them go off.

bye~

“—wanting Cecilia, that’s not a joke.”

not acceptable

If he handed her over, what will she go through? Raped and killed? She would surely suffer something worse than that.

After all, she is the demon lord.

even if it’s not her fault~

Wanting to quickly see Cecilia’s face, Oliver hurriedly returned to the living room.

He wondered what she would be doing while alone, but Cecilia’s presence was right there. He wanted to quickly see Cecilia’s face, he wanted to be told welcome back.

not happening

“Cecily—……!”

no go wai

Just as he entered the living room calling her name, his feet stopped.

Curled up on the soft sofa, her eyes were closed. Slowly moving forward such as not to wake her, he stared at Cecilia’s face.

And then her white thighs entered his sight. From a gap formed from the skirt being lifted up due to her sitting position, Cecilia’s white skin peeked through.

Involuntarily covering his face with his hand, Oliver averted his face.

what a pure hero~

And the desire to tease her just a little sprouted.

no stop you perv

“—sleeping?”

“…….I’m awake.”

“I see. That’s good……”

yes, very good

Cecilia’s ability to sense danger is quite high.

—but that may just be limited to Oliver.
