A few days after the soldiers a.s.saulted(?) the mansion, peace continued without any significant activity.

Oliver did all the ch.o.r.es while Cecilia absentmindedly watched him.

At this point, one might want to tsukkomi ‘what kind of life is that’, but Oliver was very happy, so it can’t be helped.

but what about cecilia

“Cecily is cute today as well.”

“……It’s, Cecilia.”

“How cold. Even though I love you this much.”

“I don’t understand what you mean.”

no need to

As she elegantly spent the afternoon enjoying teatime in the living room, Oliver was admiring Cecilia again.

Today she is wearing a balloon-type miniskirt and a sepia-coloured jacket. A cute ribbon that was attached to her chest was in Oliver’s colour, dark red.

This is surely what it means to find happiness just by looking.

…feels abit off..but meh

“……Why, do you do these things for me? What merit does it have for you?”

a simple one

—Even though there is no need to be this hospitable, to the person you are going to kill.

As ever, Cecilia thought like that.

happiness

“There is way too many merits. I can look at the cute Cecilia forever.”

“…………”

cuteness

Compared to when she first came to this mansion, the length of Cecilia’s sentences has increased just a little bit.

Even if that is said, they were all words of denial though.

Oliver wondered how to have her accept his feelings. But, the Cecilia that denied his words was also cute……recently he thinks that it might be fine as it is for a while.

she is cute no matter what

—ah, cute. Cute, so cute, kawaii.

While admiring Cecilia sitting on her set position, the sofa, Oliver nibbled tea cake-flavoured cookies.

While fantasising about making sweets with Cecilia one day, he grinned.

wth are teacake-flavoured cookies

At that moment, the doorbell of the mansion rang.

a visitor!

“Hm? I was not expecting a visitor, who could it be?”

“This presence……!”

“Ah, Cecilia’s visitor?”

“…………”

all the way from the dmemon lord’s castle~

Feeling a nostalgic presence from outside the mansion, Cecilia hurriedly stood up.

She wanted to go immediately, but she didn’t think Oliver would allow that. After all, Cecilia is the demon lord. There is no way he would allow her to come into contact with her subordinate demonic creatures.

Looking at the silent Cecilia, Oliver shrugged.

why not

“Do you want to go?”

“…………Yes.”

please

When Oliver asked kindly, Cecilia nodded honestly after hesitating a little.

Of course, Oliver could give his permission immediately—but that would be a little of a waste. Since it was a chance, he thought of requesting something.

….blackmail

“Let’s see. In exchange for allowing it, will you listen to one of my requests?

“……!”

….hard to say no

In response to the gently smiling Oliver, Cecilia’s body quivered. She couldn’t imagine what he would ask at all.

But, if she doesn’t accept that, she wouldn’t be able to meet him.

Cecilia made a small nod and let out an “understood’.

….what a terrifying hero

“That’s surprising. I didn&rsquo

;t think you would accept. Is this be a side benefit?”

“……”

no its your fault

He had just wanted to see Cecilia’s response and teased her, but Oliver had not thought that she would accept it.

Of course since he got an okay, he is going to make the request, but he won’t ask for too much.

okay then

“Then I will go take a look, so wait a little.”

“……okay.”

don’t kill him

Leaving Cecilia alone in the living room, Oliver headed to the entranceway.

Cecilia’s subordinate demonic creature, Goblin, was there.

It seems his wounds from the hero, Oliver’s attack still had not healed, he was wrapped in bandages and was a pitiful sight.

poor goblin

“……!”

heal him~

Having the hero appear before his eyes, Goblin unintentionally trembled.

Because he is a demonic creature, he can’t complain even if he was cut down right there. In the fist place, the fact that an existence like a demonic creature managed to come to the mansion was a miracle.

ah yeah, its in the middle of human territory

“Hi, welcome. Are you Cecilia’s subordinate?”

“Ah, yes……ar, are you not going to kill me?”

“I won’t do that. Because Cecilia would grieve. Come, she is this way.”

she is still alive~

Easily welcoming Goblin into the mansion, he lead the way to the living room where Cecilia was.

Goblin timidly followed Oliver, but the instant he saw Cecilia sitting on the sofa, he opened his eyes wide and shouted.

hisashiburi~

“Cecilia-sama! Thank G.o.d, you are safe!”

“Goblin too……! Being this injured, are you okay?”

“Of course. Those in the castle too, although most are injured, everyone is fine.”

as the hero promised

At Goblin’s words, Cecilia was moved to tears.

Until now, she had been so so worried about those in the demon lord’s castle. But since she couldn’t match Oliver, returning alone would be difficult.

This has granted Cecilia peace of mind.

daijoubu~

Looking at the two of them out of the side of his eye, Oliver went to the kitchen to get drinks.

He poured warm cocoa, and added in marshmallows.

that one is nice

“Yep, this is good. Because Cecilia is cute, white fluffy marshmallows fit her.”

…ok….

Imagining Cecilia drinking the cocoa he had poured, the corners of his mouth turned up. Imagining her drinking the hot cocoa sip by sip, he found it so cute he couldn’t help it.

Additionally, he also added cake to the tray. Since it was Cecilia’s subordinate, it is natural to be hospitable.

yes give Cecilia good impression

“I’m back.”

“!”

“……”

no give them more along time~

When Oliver returned to the living room and called out, Goblin shook in surprise.

The existence called the hero is very strong, a weak demonic creature like Goblin cannot possibly stand up against him. Goblin is aware that he could be killed in an instant.

As he felt cold sweat trickling down his back, Goblin thought about how to save Cecilia, but that need was denied by Oliver.

no, there still is a need

“Cocoa and cake. Goblin should have had a hard time coming here alone right? Help yourself”

“Eh……!? But, I am a demonic creature.”

“Yep, I know. But, you are Cecilia’s subordinate.”

“Ye, yes.”

“Here, enjoy while it’s still warm.”

kinda tastes bad when cold

Offered cocoa by Oliver, Goblin timidly stretched a hand out towards the hot cocoa. That cocoa which had marshmallows floating in it was something that Goblin did not normally drink.

After looking at Goblin who bowed and said “thanks for the drink” before taking a sip of the cocoa, Oliver offered hot cocoa to Cecilia too.

With a wide smile and “It’s delicious, okay?”, he put it in her hand. Of course, he didn’t forget to warn her to be careful since it was hot.

yes, always be careful of that

“There is also cake. Here, Cecilia likes cake with whipped cream right? Aahn”

“……no, no need!”

no feeding cecilia!

Cutting a bite-sized portion of the cake, Oliver happily moved it towards Cecilia’s mouth.

Cecilia turned her face away with a reluctant expression, but Oliver stuck to it and did not give up. This is as per usual during tea time, so Oliver is already used to it.

no, go wai

“…………”

oh yeah, Goblin

Looking at the two of them, Goblin’s mouth was wide open.

In his mind, was it ‘what is this bacouple!’ or ‘what are you doing to the reluctant Cecilia-sama, this son of a b.i.t.c.h!’ ?

(T/N: bacouple, baka couple)

Not knowing how he should speak out, Goblin just drank the prepared cocoa. While finding it very delicious, he couldn’t do anything but pray that this strange atmosphere would somehow resolve itself.

save cecilia!

“Here, aahn for me”

“………”

“Heere”

“No need, nmu”

“Fufu, it’s delicious right?”

force feeding…

When she opened her mouth to refuse, the cake was forced in.

Having no choice but to eat it, Cecilia glared hard at Oliver. Since he found even that Cecilia cute, Oliver is already beyond help.

he was never h.e.l.lpable

“……Cecilia-sama.”

“Goblin!………Gohon. I’m fine.”

“Yes. Seeing that you seem healthy, I am relieved.”

save her!

Looking at the healthy Cecilia, at the same time as he was relieved—Goblin understood that he could not bring her back to the castle.

He couldn’t imagine this hero letting go of Cecilia, the demon lord’s castle was also currently undergoing reconstruction, so Cecilia would not be able to relax there.

no she cant relax here either

“In truth, I wanted to return to the demon lord’s castle with Cecilia.”

“The castle…..!”

home!

Certainly, if she could return, Cecilia would also like to return to the demon lord’s castle.

But here, there is the hero, Oliver that is far more terrifying than the demon lord. Escape wouldn’t be that simple. No, it’s impossible.

still gotta try

“…..sorry, for being such an incompetent demon lord.”

no…

With her head lowered, an apology leaked out of her lips.

Losing to the hero in an instant, she was abducted. The trouble she has caused them is immeasurable. She felt apologetic and pained for being so useless.

At that, Goblin shook his head panickedly.

you did your best~

“There is no such that, Cecilia-sama! In fact it is us, who were unable to protect Cecilia-sama. Despite that, such kind words……we are not worthy of that.”

“……Goblin.”

It was almost like a world for the two of them, was what Oliver felt as he watched them.

He thought about doing something about this Goblin, but he got to make a request to Cecilia. It would probably be a better idea to endure and respond maturely.

Nodding to himself, Oliver made a suggestion.

“Oh yeah, Goblin. Aren’t you tired for today? I will prepare a room, so stay over.”

“……eh?”

“The hero, would do that? Treating Cecilia-sama so preciously, letting me stay over. Why would you”

“That’s obvious. Cecilia is cute, so cute that I can’t help it. So if letting Goblin stay over makes Cecilia happy, I’ll welcome you.”

all for cecilia-sama~

Smiling widely, he expressed his thoughts without any falsehood.

Of course he was jealous watching her talk so happily with Goblin, but he intends to compensate for that with the request later.

As Cecilia and Goblin were worrying about what to do, Goblin’s “please” decided it.

protect cecilia while you are here
“……anks”

“Hm? What’s wrong, Cecilia?”

“………….Thanks.”

ur welc

In a small voice, Cecilia expressed her thanks to Oliver. Oliver responded “You are welcome.” in his usual voice, but his mind was extremely agonised.

—What’s this cute thing. It’s so cute I want to eat it, I want to hug it.
