7th Demon Prince Jilbagias’ Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling - Chapter 87.2 - Daily Life of The Prince

87.2 Daily Life of The Prince

『A terrifying fella who broke a horn with his bare hand.』

For some reason, he sounds proud when he says that.

『―― But, how did you do that? I know that you’re clearly stronger than the last time I saw you but, that’s why I can’t help but be curious.』

The one who voiced his curiosity was the 1st child, Aiogias.

『Nevertheless, the horn of a viscount isn’t so weak to the point that it can be broken with a bare hand.』

『――The person himself had told you right? The horn of an idiot is surprisingly fragile.』

The one who replied to him with a teasing tone was the 2nd child, Rubyfia.

『Even without doing that, this adorable boy has the same physical strength as us.』

And added those words with an amused smile on her face while not even trying to hide the fact that she appraised me.

『Humph… What’s actually happened, Jilbagias?』

『Even if you ask me, I don’t know how to answer that since this is the first time I hit someone’s horn with bare hand, and also the first time I broke it.』

Shrugging my shoulders, I replied to Aiogias who asked while folding his arms. Then I looked at the Demon King.

『… Right, can I try to hit father’s horn?』

I asked with a teasing tone, no harm to try regardless of the result anyway!

『Sure.』

The Demon King replied calmly while sipping his tea.

『――But, it’s father’s style to strike back when I get hit.』

『Yup, that’s impossible after all.』

Holy cra*p!! In the worst chance, my horn might be the one that gets broken instead if he hits me!

『That viscount… fella.』

Surprisingly enough, the 3rd child, Diagias, had actually spoken while fiddling with his hair. Though he looked as disinterested as usual.

『Viscount Megalos, is it? Man or woman?』

『Eh? He’s goblin-like man.』

『I see. That’s all I need to know.』

Diagias lost his interest immediately, opened his hand mirror and started checking his reflection.

Wait a minute… What would happen if that idiot was a woman…

――”Could it be that the reason why he chose to take big sis Rubyfia’s side was simply because she was a woman?” I almost reflexively asked such a question but shut my mouth in the last minute upon realizing that I might be able to use this for 『Political Negotiation』.

By the way, at this moment, the 5th child, Spinezia was stuffing her mouth with food while listening to our conversation. The 6th child, Topazia, had already fallen asleep while stuffing her mouth with hors d’oeuvre and a cracker sandwich with smoked fish and cheese.

The green bast*ard was absent on this occasion.

Just when I felt relief that I didn’t have to see his annoying face, Aiogias told me that guy was dispatched to the frontline.

… It seems he was desperate to get back the merit that he missed when I killed Faravugi.

Just imagining that guy doing his best slaughtering many human soldiers on the frontline was enough… To make me lose my appetite.

Dammit. Life wouldn’t always go the way I want.

I also took the 2nd and 3rd session of necromancy lessons from Enma.

I was slowly but steadily treading the path of taboo as she taught me the spell to give pleasure, pain, or seal the motion of the soul.

『Well, once you started cleaning, there’s no end to i~t.』

By the way, the necromancy lesson was held in the courtyard like usual.

『Just wait a little while longer! After it becomes cleaner, I’ll invite you, Jil-kun!』

Enma cracked a smile while touching her cheeks with her hands which had nails that had been painted with manicure. This fella had steadily raised her dressing up level…

Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but be curious about just how messy the den of the undead was since it took her quite some time to clean it up.

I’m looking forward to my first visit to that place~…(Monotone)

†††

I spent my day restlessly doing various things.

「Here I come!!」

Lyla’s flight training was also still going on.

Lyla in her dragon form spread her wings, running as she flapped her wings.

Woosh, she glided while riding the air current―― Which was pretty stable in my opinion.

But when she tried to flap her wings, she fell back on the ground like a puppet with its string cut.

And not just your normal fall, it was a crash.

「Uuh…」

Lyla became discouraged after numerous trials and errors by adjusting the way she moves her wings, and said 「This time for sure!」 again and again.

「As I thought… There’s no way someone like me ca—」

Okay, let’s stop her.

「… Lyla, this is my opinion as the one who has watched your progress.」

I called out to her while I felt it was ridiculous for a demon race to give advice like this to a dragon.

「Yes… what is it…?」

「Have you tried to infuse your magical power into your wings when you flap your wings?」

「Magical… Power?」

The white dragon’s eyelids flickered when she heard my question.

「Yeah. The truth is, I tried to observe the other dragons when I visited the flying dragon landing site.」

――As a dragon who had always been forced to take her human form, it was only natural that the other dragons had also neglected to give her any basic lesson.

And though they publicly didn’t oppose my warm welcome to Lyla, I had no idea what they were going to pull if I asked one of them to coach Lyla.

Thus, I went to the landing site myself and observed the dragons flying in the air.

「――Then I can’t help but notice it but… It’s hard to express it in words, I feel something like a vortex of strong magical power when the dragon took flight… As if they generated something…」

Since it only happened in a brief moment, I barely managed to catch the phenomenon with the demon race’s natural perception for magical power but…

「I-I… See…」

Lyla pondered, maybe she also had no idea what I mean.

「… Once again… I’ll try it out once again!」

「Forget about once more, you can try as much as you can!」

「… Yes!」

Lyla straightened herself.

She flapped her wings.

「Magical power――」

A glint of light flashed in her golden eyes.

「Vortex――」

Wosh, wosh, bwosh―― Her flapping was getting stronger and stronger.

「I see… Just like father, and mother…」

She muttered something.

The white dragon’s huge frame then leaped into the air without having to do an initial run.

Squall.

The white dragon was soaring into the s――！

「A—Awesome!!」

Lyla who floated in the air so easily like any other dragon and was shouting happi――

「Ah.」

Before the movement of her wings became strange, and she crash-landed again on the ground.

「… LYLA!!」

I rushed in a hurry alas, Lyla rose on her feet as if it was no big deal.

「Ehehehe… I slipped.」

Said Lyla shyly without even a hint of embarrassment.

This reply was a sign of her slowly regaining her confidence.

「THAT WAS AMAZING! SHALL WE TRY IT ONCE AGAIN!?」

「… YES!!」

“Bash” Lyla spread her pair of majestic wings.

The day she gained the freedom of the air was――

Definitely not that far off.
