The Demon King of Lust's Cheating Slow Life in Another World (WN): Chapter 214

 

Fran's Future

Something unexpected happened.

Surprisingly, Fran made it through the morning without losing consciousness. I offered to give up after the fifth round and managed to get her to sleep.

I teleported to the academy with Rain while Fran was sleeping in the morning, but it seems that the academy has decided to take a break for about a week due to the commotion at the royal castle yesterday.

The students hurriedly held a school-wide assembly during the first period to explain the situation and were immediately sent home for the day.

Rain and I immediately teleported back to our house and relaxed for a while waiting for Fran to wake up.

However, since she didn't wake up easily, I got worried and went to my bedroom, where her face was bright red and she wouldn't get out of bed. It seems like she is in agony remembering her embarrassing state from last night.

"Fran-san! It's okay! We will all go crazy if we were held by Onii-sama."

Rain. That's not quite right, is it?

With Rain's encouragement, Fran timidly came to the living room and was surrounded by everyone. And they are digging at the root of what happened last night.

"Well! That's amazing. I can't believe you didn't faint in Danna-sama's arms."

"I can't do it twice. Fran-chan is surprisingly good at it."

Lida. What are you grinning at and tormenting Fran with?

"Mu. I'm not so sure I'll be able to handle five times...... You're not as bad as you look, young girl."

Ginko is strangely impressed!

Just like that, the girls' conversation that made me want to cover my ears started again.

By the time the girls' conversation was over, I decided to talk to Fran, who was boiling with shame, about the academy and her future.

Yesterday, I finally received permission from Crown Prince Schwartz to take her, but given the circumstances, it was like kidnapping Fran.

Commuting to the academy would be a lot of trouble. People around will probably pry on her about various things, and there is also the risk of getting into unnecessary trouble due to her connection with the demons.

Moreover, there was a risk of retaliation from the church and northern nobles who were hit this time.

It is too risky to attend the academy. That being said, there is still half a year left in the school before graduation. It's kind of a shame to have to drop out of school half a year before...

As for the future, she will either stay with us or return to the mansion.

Since her parents were there, she doesn't need to explain anything, but I feel sorry for taking her away without saying goodbye.

It seems like Fran didn't have much of a deep relationship with her father or the servants, but her mother was different. She'll want to talk properly.

I told Fran about it.

"I don't really care about the academy. Originally, I enrolled there as a kind of chaperone for Ains. I would like to talk to my parent... my mother. But if it seems difficult, I'll leave it as is. But that’s okay."

That's what I was told.

Having said that... I felt a little nervous because it seemed like I was forcing her to do something, so I decided to take care of school matters first.

I decided to ask Strea-san, the head of the school, about this. I took Fran and teleported to the school headmaster's room.

"Yo! I knew you would come. Nameless Demon King-san."

Strea-san laughs as he says that.

"What is that?"

"Hahaha. Well, there's a lot of fuss in the streets that a nameless demon king has defeated the evil deeds of the nobles, or that he's come to destroy the church. Well, the people generally have a favorable view of him, and he seems to be popular."

Sigh*... I don't know how it got across, but it seems like the general public has known about me (Demon King form)...

"By the way, what's wrong? I thought you were enjoying your honeymoon."

I let Strea-san's joke slide and explained the situation.

"I see, so you say. Then there's nothing to worry about. As long as you pass the final exam, you will be approved for graduation. I'll make sure that you can apply for a leave of absence until graduation day. So, Fran-kun, you can take the vacation."

"Are you sure? Headmaster."

Fran was surprised and asked again, but Strea-san smiled and nodded.

"I think you would normally pass the final exam, and I don't think you would need to study in the academy with Light-kun with you. Besides…this is also a request from the Queen. I want you to be able to live a free and happy life. That's why I'll cooperate."

"Aunt Prill..."

"If I may... if I had a request, I'd like you to show your face to the Queen once, if possible. She'd be surprised if she saw you now, though."

Strea-san said so and put his hand on Fran's shoulder.

"You must be happy. That is the queen's wish as well. I'm counting on you to take care of her, too, Light-kun."

I nodded in response.

After the conversation with Strea-san, Fran and I teleported to the duke's mansion. Well... to make things easier to explain, I dressed myself in the demon king form...

As expected, the servants were surprised to see the young lady and the demon king suddenly come home, but Ayako stood between them and guided us to the guest room.

Ayako is calm because she is aware of my true identity, but... a strange murderous intent is leaking out from her. Don't you like that I took Fran away?

After a while, Fran's parents came into the guest room. The two of them were surprised first at me, then at Fran.

"You... how dare you hurt my daughter..."

The duke has been hostile toward me, but the duchess is different.

"Fran... good for you. I see you've become the companion of a wonderful gentleman."

The lady smiled at Fran and bowed to me.

"Thank you for saving my daughter from a difficult situation. And... fufu. It seems like you have made her into a fine woman."

Ah... I think she realized what Fran and I did. Fran blushed so much that even the Duke noticed......

"Shut up! Don't joke around! I'm not going to let you hurt my daughter!"

"Shut your mouth! You have despised me and my daughter until now, what is there to be angry about now? You are rude in front of the guest. Back off!"

The duke was taken aback and was taken out by Ayako when the lady yelled in an angry voice.

"I'm sorry. I had shown you a disgraceful appearance..."

"I can't believe Mother would be angry like that......"

Fran was also taken aback and muttered.

"Now that you've left the nest, you no longer have any need to cling to the Saint family. From now on, Live the way you want."

With these words, she sipped her tea gracefully.

"What do you mean...?"

Fran asked, and the lady explained it to her. She explained that the upheaval had apparently caused the northern power to collapse. The opposition has collapsed, and she is no longer of any value as a hostage.

So, it seems that she took that attitude earlier, assuming that it didn't matter whether she got divorced or whether she was kicked out.

There is no sadness in the lady's voice as she speaks, and on the contrary, she speaks with Fran with a refreshing smile. Fran also seemed happy to see her mother's carefree smile, which she hadn't seen in a while.

After chatting for a while, Fran and the lady finally asked me a favor.

"Demon King. If you don't mind, could you show me your true face?"

I obediently listened to her request and took off my helmet.

"Well... fufu. Fran is surprisingly attracted to good looking. There aren't many such wonderful gentlemen around. If I were Fran's age, I'd probably have taken him myself."

"I... I never thought Mother would joke like that."

I was relieved that the two of them were able to spend time together on good terms.
