“My love for you is nothing compared to the love I have for Riou and Sakuya. Don’t get too carried away!” (Lefi)
“If I have even a tenth of the love you have for these children, I’ll be very satisfied. You are more loving than anyone else…more loving than the mountains that pierce the clouds in the Demonic Forest.” (Yuki)
“You think so?” (Lefi)
“Yes. I’ve been watching you for a long time, and I can tell you that. There’s no doubt about it.” (Yuki)
“You’re such a smug guy.” (Lefi)
Lefi looked at me once, then turned her back to me, but still moved closer to me, fitting herself perfectly in my arms.
“Hmmm, I thought you didn’t want to make Sakuya feel bothered?” (Yuki)
“I never said that. I’m your wife, after all. I’ll put up with you as a husband to a certain extent.” (Lefi)
“I did it. Sorry, son. Lefi is mine!” (Yuki)
“No, no, you can’t decide that on your own.” (Yuki)
“What do you mean I can’t? No. It’s up to me to decide.” (Lefi)
“A mother may belong to her child, but a wife belongs to her husband. That means half of you is definitely mine! What belongs to my son is also mine, what’s mine is mine!” (Yuki)
“What a husband, what a father…but don’t worry, Sakuya. I’ll hold back this awful man for you. I’ll definitely protect you from his tyranny!” (Lefi)
“Hahaha, he was born as the son of the Demon Lord. That being said, I must raise my son to endure hardship and injustice! I’ll make sure my son experiences the arrogance of the Demon Lord!” (Yuki)
“I won’t let you, my husband. As a mother, I will stop your recklessness with all my heart and soul.” (Lefi)
“Okay, now it’s time for a clash between father and mother!” (Yuki)
We exchanged jokes that showed our closeness as a couple.
I’d never felt any awkwardness in all the time I’ve spent with Lefi.
Just being together was fun and comfortable.
Just holding her tightly, I felt an overwhelming sense of security and my heart felt warm.
–Maybe… the focus of the story had now shifted to these children.
Father and mother were merely supporting characters, and our world was now centered around the two of them.
It was not like we would give up anything as parents for our children, and from now on, we would just live as we please… but at the same time, show as much love to our children as we possibly could.
That was what we wanted now.
I couldn’t help but smile at the thought that would make people laugh if I said it because it was so cheesy.
“Well, I think my child is so cute that he’s an angel.” (Yuki)
“I agree with you from the bottom of my heart. But while it is fine to call Riou so, I don’t think boys like being called angels.” (Lefi)
“So, a demon?” (Yuki)
“Isn’t that a bit off…?” (Lefi)
Wind blew from the outside.
Sunlight filtered into the veranda, revealing a serene daytime scene.
A moment of relaxation.
Suddenly, Lefi put her hand on mine.
Our fingers intertwined.
I squeezed her hand tightly, and she squeezed back.
I brought my face closer to hers, and we exchanged kisses.
