Child Rearing Hero and Children of the Demon King Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Before asking for a doctor and buying the candies for the children, Yuuya met with soldiers .
These former colleagues of his were looking for him .

「Eh, why?」
「You went to the Demon King’s castle, right? There was a huge ruckus the other day when the scouts sent to the Demon King’s castle returned . And so, His Majesty seems to have something to ask of you」
「I’m glad we found you . We had no idea where you went, so soldiers were sent to every nearby town」

A considerable amount of people were apparently looking for Yuuya .

「Did something important occur?」

Why are we talking about that again? I have reported to His Majesty, so my duty should have been fulfilled . Even if he didn’t believe me .

「Yes . The Demon King was not found and the movements of the monsters have become way too calm . Say, did the Demon King really die?」
「I believe he did」

Yuuya smiled wryly at the words of Soldier A . Something he told Aura in the past flashed across his mind .
Did the Demon King really die?

「Well, but, it’s not like I have confirmed his death…… it’s not like I have buried him either…… I did lay him down in a bedroom like place, however」

I wasn’t able to leave his body like that in front of the children, so I asked the twins and brought the Demon King’s body to his private room . But, that does not mean I have confirmed his heartbeat . Rather, after hearing the voice of his wife, I think the Demon King really did die .

I also think that I shouldn’t tell others that his wife is the incarnation of death .

「Then, did you really defeat him?」
「No, he died from illness . I have not done anything . He was already on his last breath when I managed to arrive at the throne room」
「…… Seriously?」
「Really . I did report to His Majesty such」

I have not reported that the children were left in my care though . Rather, he wouldn’t believe me . He thought they were my children . Why?

「Hmm…… anyhow, won’t you return with us? His Majesty wishes to hear your story one more time in full detail」
「Well, I am hesitant about that…… ah, I can’t . My company is ill right now . Departing immediately would not be possible」

「Well, I am hesitant about that…… ah, I can’t . My company is ill right now . Departing immediately would not be possible」

I explained .

「Company? Ahh, your children? That is terrible . Children do get fevers immediately」
「That’s not it!」

Soldier B was surprised when I denied .

「Ah, not the children, but the wife, huh! Eh, is she expecting next child!?」
「That’s also not it!!」

The root of the misunderstanding is wrong in the first place . Aura is not my wife and the children are not mine .
Just thinking about unsolving the misunderstandings from now on makes my head hurt .

The root of the misunderstanding is wrong in the first place . Aura is not my wife and the children are not mine .
Just thinking about unsolving the misunderstandings from now on makes my head hurt .
I think I want to lie down like Aura .

「…… Anyhow, the girl who is accompanying us is ill . Therefore, could you ask His Majesty if it would be possible to postpone our meeting for a little more? I will definitely go see him once she recovers」
「Got it . We shall tell him that . Take care of your wife~」
「I’m telling you she’s not……」

I want to sleep .

「What . His wife is ill? We cannot force him then . He should take care of his wife and children properly . Children are especially treasures . Umu, umu . Convey to him that We will hear his story once he takes care of everything . The report is not urgent . A pregnant woman shouldn’t push herself」
