Chapter 223: A day in the life of (1)
"Sir Gran, do you have a moment?"
"Sir Gran, can you take a look at this?"
"Sir Gran, there’s something that I need your help with."
When I heard these three asking me these questions and then saw them glaring at each other like this, I really didn’t know what to say.
After all, this was one of our rare rest days.
Since I had been made the hero, I had been running around all over the place doing different requests that had been made of me.
At the same time, I had also been gaining more and more power from recovering more relics that used to belong to the past heroes. So in a sense, I was also becoming more and more like a hero.
And that seemed to be the reason why there was a third one now.
The magician of our group acted quite normally before, but now...
I had been certain that she would end up with the warrior of our party, but he had taken a more passive role. It seemed like he was happy just following me around instead of actually standing out.
In a way, it was almost as if I had NTR’d him...even if they weren’t together in the first place.
As for the other two, they were naturally Amy and Andrea.
These two had been acting like this for a long time, so I was already used to this.
It was just that with the magician girl Sophia joining in as well, it really was getting quite hectic.
I had been planning on just getting some time alone during this rare day off, but it seemed like the three of them weren’t planning on letting me go at all.
So with a sigh, I said, "How about we go out and get some supplies since it’s a rare day off? If we spend it all inside while reading over these documents, I’m sure that we’ll all get stir crazy."
The three of them nodded in agreement to this, though they did glare at each other after they gave this nod.
With the way that they looked at each other, it was as if they had come to a decision to compete with each other.
As such...I said, "Kay, you should come with us as well."
The warrior of our party, Kay, was caught off guard hearing this.
He took a look at the three of them and seemed like he wanted to refuse, but then he saw the way that I was looking at him. When he saw this, he knew that there was no refusing this.
So the only thing that he could do was say with a sigh, "Alright, let’s go and get some supplies together then."
The three girls didn’t seem happy, but they had no choice but to accept it since I was the one that had proposed this.
In the end, the three of them certainly took things overboard as they tried to compete with each other for my attention.
It wasn’t that I didn’t see it, it was just that it would have created a large mess if I did respond.
So the only thing that I could do was act as if I didn’t see their feelings.
That was a day in the life of the hero.
...
"My lord, should I help massage your back?"
"No, my lord, let me make a cup of tea for you."
"My lord, how about taking a walk outside?"
Seeing the three of them, I couldn’t help shaking my head and giving a sigh.
One of these girls was Ashe, the young commander that I had trained.
The other was Camilla, one of the true bloods that followed me after I took over the vampires.
And the last one was...Yena.
It was a surprise that she had found my secret forces, but she actually didn’t rat me out to the other demon tribes.
After finding out about the secret forces that I had been building, she actually brought the entire succubus tribe to come and follow me.
The succubus tribe was a tribe that had rather deep roots since it was impossible to completely get rid of the succubi. So that was why they were considered one of the top tribes along with the vampires.
There had even been a succubus queen that had come close to becoming the demon king in the past.
So it was strange that she would suddenly follow me like this.
But in the end, it turned out that I had been wrong about her.
I thought that she had only approached me because she was interested in my life essence as a succubus. However, it turned out that it was much more than this...
She had even been willing to form a contract with me to prove her allegiance.
In that contract, I had Faust help me add a clause that allowed me to hear what she was thinking.
"I love you!"
I was shocked to hear this the moment after the contract was formed.
She was actually completely in love with me, which was why she had been following since the beginning.
I didn’t really understand why she would act this way towards a fledgling demon king, but...
So in the end, I had no choice but to accept her.
However, these three weren’t actually the only ones that wanted to approach me.
There were plenty others that also wanted to approach me, but these three kept them all at bay. After all, those people only wanted to approach me because I was the demon king.
It was different for these three...
It was just that if I were to choose one or even all three, it would become awkward.
Until I actually became the demon king, I couldn’t be distracted...
So the only thing that I could do in this situation was...
"Malphis, let’s go and discuss that thing you wanted to talk about earlier."
Malphis after being restrained had actually started following me.
With the way that he talked to me, it was as if he took me as his older brother.
So that was why I was using him as an excuse.
I could see the bitter smile that was on his face as he was glared at by the three of them, but I didn’t give him a choice.
...
The hero and demon king were running from women in the same manner, if only someone knew about this, they would have laughed their heads off.
