The Little Demon King is Too Bothered by Her Brave Dads - Chapter 8
âThatâsâŠâŠ.â Cesar parted his lips with a sullen face.
At the same time, Siegfried shook his head. âEveryone, donât think too negatively.â
âSiegfried.â
âBesides, the health of that child is not a problem we can solve right away,â Siegfried continued calmly. âWouldnât it be better to think about what we can do for that child first, rather than being depressed and concluding that she is terminally ill?â
âThatâsâŠâŠ. thatâs right.â
âYou are right.â
Cesar and Kirios nodded side by side.
While he was at it, Siegfried added, âI think we should change this childâs living environment first.â
âI agree. I could never imagine letting such a young kid live in a room like that garbage dump,â Kirios murmured discontentedly.
âLiving in a place like that can make you sick. Eh?â
âCome to think of it, the doorknob that fell on the floor earlier,â Cesar also spoke as if he had just remembered. âIt was definitely a structure to lock the door from the outside, right?â
When they visited Tatianaâs room earlier, they found a doorknob lying on the floor. As the door was smashed in the aftermath of the battle, the doorknob seemed to have fallen off.
âThen the demons forced that little kid to be locked in that beggar-like room?â Kirios burst into a rage. âIf the door hadnât been broken, that kid might have dried up and died in that room!â
âBe quiet, Kirios. What if the child wakes up?â
At Siegfriedâs scolding, Kirios, who was aghast, closed his mouth in dissatisfaction.
That went on for a while.
âAhhâŠâŠâ
Tatiana wrinkled her brows and let out a small groan of pain.
The startled Kirios quickly asked Cesar a question. âWhy is she like this? Whatâs wrong with her that she is suffering so much?â
âItâs because her fever is rising.â After replying like that, Cesar winked at Kirios and continued, âKirios, go get some water. I need clean towels, too, and it would be nice to have a fever reducer.â
âDo you just naturally have to pamper people?â
âI have to take care of the child, so I canât help it.â
ââŠâŠ.â Kirios, speechless, stared at Cesar.
But Cesar just shrugged his shoulders casually.
âHa, really. With that wagging tongue I bet youâd even be able to talk your way out of drowning.â
Despite scolding him with his mouth, Kirios eventually rose to his feet.
âIâm coming with you,â Siegfried said as he followed Kirios. Before closing the door, Siegfried glanced back.
The childâs bloodless face was particularly striking.
ââŠâŠ..â
Siegfried quietly closed the door, while suppressing his troubled heart.
The childâs figure disappeared beyond the door.
***
The two headed to the laundry room.
Siegfried, who was packing a clean towel, unconsciously fell into a short thought.
âCome to think of it, Tatiana came here. â
He could still see Tatiana wandering around the laundry room, scurrying like a squirrel. She picked things up one by one with her tiny hands and lifted her heels to get out the items in the cupboard.
After that, the sight of her looking back at him with the eyes of a surprised rabbit kept lingering in his mind.
ââŠâŠ..â
Siegfried was deeply distraught.
But then.
âHey.â
A subdued voice called Siegfried.
It was Kirios.
âWhy are you calling me?â
âYou know. I.â
Even with his open-minded personality, he hesitated for a long time.
Kirios finally murmured with a sigh, ââŠâŠI kept being mean to the kid.â
ââŠâŠ..â
Siegfried stared at Kirios as if encouraging him to say more.
âHonestly, I still have doubts about her.â As if to protest against the silence, Kiriosâs voice began to become bitter. âSomeone mixed race between human and demons? Iâve never heard of such a thing.â
âKirios.â
âBesides, how can you trust a child you met in the demon castle? If she is up to somethingâŠâŠ.!â
Kirios, who rarely spoke at such lengths, soon dropped his shoulders.
âStill.â
ââŠâŠ.â
âStill, I mean.â
Kirios asked the question with difficulty. âDid IâŠ..was I being too mean to the kid?â
âYes.â Without a momentâs hesitation, Siegfried nodded.
Kirios raised his voice furiously, shouting, âHey, youâŠâŠ!â
âThen what answer did you want me to give you?â Siegfried tilted his head. âKirios, itâs because you are worried about her.â
ââŠâŠ..â
Kirios, who was stabbed by his directness that got straight to the point, clamped his mouth tightly like a seashell.
âIf youâre going to care so much in the first place, I donât understand why youâre so mad at a child.â
ââŠ.Thatâs.â
Kirios stiffened his shoulders.
As if comforting him, Siegfried calmly continued, âI understand your doubts. Because I donât fully trust her either. But.â
âSiegfried, IâŠâŠâ
âSheâs a child whoâs only four years old.â
At those words, Kirios felt as if he had been hit on the head.
Siegfried added, âShe also took great care of us.â

She had.
A mixed race between demons and humans, and the first place they met was the Demon Castle. Before all the suspicious circumstances, Tatiana was just Tatiana. She did no harm to anyone; she seemed not even capable of doing so.
A four-year-old child with a lovely smile.
âIf she is doing anything, we can stop her.â Siegfried smiled brightly. âWe are capable of that. So, why donât you relax a bit too?â
ââŠâŠâŠâ
Kirios was pursing his lips tight.
Siegfried, who had tapped him on the shoulder, soon put on a straight face.
âStop worrying about that and move quickly. Donât you think Cesarâs nagging will be tremendous if you return late?â
***
The cool water moistened my forehead.
âI feel good. â
A smile was drawn on my lips. Someone was carefully wiping my forehead with a wet towel. While I was infatuated with that cold yet soft touch, a thought occurred to me.
âWait, but whoâs taking care of me?â
Thereâs no one to take care of me!
At that moment, I came to my senses as if I had been splashed with cold water.
I opened my eyes wide.
The first thing that came into view was a colorful canopy ceiling with gold thread patterns.
Surprised, I sprang to my feet.
âWhere am IâŠâŠ?!â
âOh, are you awake?â
A gentle handsome man with silver hair who was sitting next to me, smiled softly.
âCe, CesarâŠâŠ?â
âYes, itâs me. How are you feeling?â
âUhâŠâŠ.â
I blinked blankly.
âI think Iâm good as new.â
It was true.
My body felt light.
The balance of my body, which had been disturbed by the oversupply of the demonic energy, had returned to its proper place.
All the symptoms like the tingling as if the heart was being pricked with a needle, or the feeling of heaviness as if a ball of iron were hung from my limbs, had disappeared.
But then.
A handsome young man with red hair suddenly poked his head into the room. It was Kirios.
âHey, kid! Are you okay?â
âOh god!â Surprised, I flinched.
Regardless of that, Kirios poured out his words without pause. âNo, in the first place. Why were you just living in that shabby room?â
âHuh?â
âYou know, since we wiped out the demons, it wouldnât matter if you occupied a good room. Living in such a place makes you sickâŠâŠ!â
At the same time, Siegfried bluntly rebuked him.
âKirios, the child must be surprised. How long has it been since she woke up and youâre already getting on her nerves?â
âWhat? Why do I surprise her?â
Siegfried turned to me, not hearing Kiriosâs protest.
âBut Kiriosâs words are not without reason. Why did you stay in that old room?â
I blinked and laughed awkwardly.
âWell, I didnât thinkâŠâŠâ
âWhy canât you think about that?â Kirios snapped back and was annoyed at once.
I hurriedly lowered my head to conceal my expression, mumbling, âWell, I knowâŠ. Iâm a fool.â
Actually, it wasnât that I didnât think about moving rooms. But.
âI didnât have the courage to do that.â
Maybe itâs because I lived my whole life in the darkest shade of the world. Occupying a brightly lit and comfortable room didnât seem like something I was allowed to do.
The nightmare I had earlier still lingered in my head.
âWhat if the demons who harassed me come back? What if I get caught using their bedroom?â
I clenched my fists tightly. If they came back, it wouldnât end with just being scolded.
They may starve me, or beat meâŠ.
âWhy are you a fool?â
I raised my head at the sudden voice I heard.
Kirios was looking down at me with his arms crossed.
âThatâs right, why are you so self-deprecating?â
âI agree with Kirios on this.â
Cesar and Siegfried also helped one by one.
After thatâ
Siegfried coughed briefly and then opened his mouth.
âAnyway, so what I mean,â Siegfried began, bending down and looking straight at me. âDonât get me wrong, I want you to hear me out. You are a child closer to a human than a demon, right?â
Nod.
When I nodded instead of answering, Siegfried continued.
âSo, I thought it would be difficult for you to survive here alone.â
âYesâŠ.â
âI think a child like you needs a better environment to grow up.â

Uh, could this be?
I opened my eyes wide.
Siegfried asked calmly, âWhy donât you come with us?â
