A Demon Lord's Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss

CH 449



At that Time in the Dungeon

At the dungeon

Illuna said while placing her own bangs to her mouth to create a beard, “Oh sister, oh sister, look at me, look at me. Beard!”

“Well, that’s quite a beard you have there, but I can make one too! How about this?”

Lefi also brought her long bangs to her mouth and made a longer beard than Illuna’s.

“Mmmm, yes! You’re the best, sis! Now I’ll have to show you our ultimate weapon! Please, beard master!”

“Ta-da! Call me, Bearded Master Shii!”

With a pause, the Bearded Master Shii appeared.

“Well, if you are the beard master, let’s see what you can do.”

“Watch me, you lot! First, the cat’s mustache! And next, the dog’s mustache!”

“Oh, you’re good. They’re so cute.”

“Cute!”

Shii transformed her body and grew cat and dog whiskers.

To be honest, the whiskers looked almost the same for both of them, but no one was bothered by that.

If it was cute, it was all good.

“Ehehe, I’m still going! This is the beard of my uncle Red in the land of mushrooms! This is the mustache of the cigarette man in the land of the twelve gods! And this is Uncle Whale’s mustache from the Land of the Sea! Shii can make any beard grow!”

“Wow, that’s wonderful! It’s just like you said!”

“Oh, uh… you certainly have a magnificent beard, but I’d advise you not to go for the second half. It would take away your cuteness.”

“Mmm, mmm. I see, then I’ll stop. Too bad I was aiming for a World Mustache Master.”

“Shii, if you are aiming for the world, aim for something a little grander. That world is too small for you.”

“Don’t worry! Shii can win the world not only with her mustache but also by playing transformation! Shii is a master of mimicry!”

“Oh, a master of mimicry!”

“Wait, no, well, yes, you’re right. I’m sure you guys can achieve anything.”

The next point of interest was Rir, who was there with them.

When Yuki was not in the forest, Rir would often visit everyone in the dungeon.

He was a good boy, and he was always there to protect them and to play with the young girls.

Rir was a well-rounded guy. His earnestness had caused him to go through a lot of hardship, though.

“Rir, Rir, you must have a detective’s beard! Here, take it! Don’t take it off!”

Illuna placed a detective-like fake mustache on the tip of Rir’s nose. Since it was designed to stick with magic power, even Rir could wear it.

“Oh! It’s Detective Rir! Then, Rir, do something detective-like with it!”

“Great detective Rir, sounds pretty good! Play detective, Rir!”

“Kuu?”

“Look around! Yes, the smell of adventure, mystery, and the road!”

“Great adventure, mystery, and the unknown!”

Rir made a gesture as if to say, “So, shall we go out for a walk, or rather, a tour, to look for mysteries?” The two young girls nodded in delight.

“Hey, hey, let’s go outside together, sister! Let’s play detective to search for the unknown!”

“Let’s play detective!”

“All right, all right, I’ll go with you. Rir, you’re getting better at dealing with little girls these days. You’re becoming better at evading as well…”

“…Kuu.”

Rir smiled at Lefi’s words and showed gestures as if to say, “Well, compared to my master, I can handle them easily.”

Since he was with Yuki every day and received all of his reckless behavior, the reckless behavior of the young girls seemed to be a cute matter.

“Kakaka, right. He is like a child who has grown up. And because he has the wisdom of an adult, he is more troublesome than the children. We both have a troublesome Lord, and it’s hard work.”

“Kuu.”

Lefi smiled in a good mood, and Rir also smiled back, as if to reply, “Yes, that’s right”.

That was absolutely true.

A Lord who was reckless, flamboyant in what he was doing, and as pure of heart as the little girls, and who worked hard for the good of all.

What a great person to support.

“Kuugau.”

“Kuku, mmm, I will continue to rely on you, Rir.”

“Hey, sis, Rir, hurry! We’re going on an adventure!”

“Hurry!”

“Okay, okay, okay. Come on, Rir. Layla, we’re heading out!”

Layla, who had been sitting quietly in a chair reading a book, gave a quick wave, and they were on their way to the meadow area.

-Suddenly, Rir’s body started to glow.

Something shapeless, like a [force], was produced from the surroundings – from the dungeon – and it covered Rir.

It was a magic power so dense that it became visible.

“Uwah!”

“Rir, are you okay?”

“This is…”

“Ku, kuu…?”

“? What is that light…?”

Each one of them was astonished.

Not only the three people around Rir but also Layla, looked up from her book and got up from her chair with a surprised expression on her face.

***

The light surrounded Rir for a few moments, and then it was all absorbed into Rir’s body and disappeared.

When the light cleared, Rir was clad in armor….

A transparent armor composed entirely of magic.

The surface was covered with patterns, and the overall shape somewhat resembled full plate armor.

It was an armor of awe and power.

Unknown to them, it looked very similar to the third stage of the divine spear.

“…Kuuu…”

Rir looked at his own body, looking rather bewildered by the sudden event.

“Oh, Rir, you’re so cool! You’re cool, but your beard is not cool!”

“Yes. Let me take off that detective beard for you! Now you look cool again, Rir!”

“Cool!”

“Hmm… Perhaps something has happened to that idiot… Rir, your abilities have changed…”

Name: Mofurir

Race: Fenrir

Class: High Wolf

High Wolf: A being of great magical power, with claws and fangs that can cut through anything. With the Lord of Supremacy, nothing can stop his progress. However, the limit of the species has not yet been reached.

Yuki’s changes also affected Rir, Yuki’s closely connected subordinate.
