Chapter 1. [Interlude 2]
“A Moment with the Maid Wife”

 

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

[You know what, Rena? Can you please go away now?]

[I have only spent half an hour of my hot embrace as a gift for Lucifer-sama’s entrance into school. And please, get your tone right, please!]

Rena, who was sitting on top of me on the bed, seemed to be in a good mood.

[Phew. …… okay, okay. Suit yourself.]

[Yes, I will do as I please. Then may I do something obscene?]

[Don’t do that.]

[Lucifer-sama is mean. Then, I will endure only an embrace for now.]

…… I guess that won’t be enough alone.

[And if that’s not enough for you, I’m going to make it more than enough for you. Mmm-hmm.]

All my thoughts have already been read. I never thought I would be made to realize, even if I don’t want to, how simple my thoughts are.

After messing things up, I decided to ask about today’s exam.

[ What do you think of that dragon Julian?]

[I was too busy admiring your every gesture. It’s wonderful, you know.]

Please don’t whisper in my ear. Don’t breathe on me. I can barely stand the soft touch and sweet smell of you anymore.

[I’m asking you seriously. How was it?]

[I’m serious too, but all I can say is …… there are lizards mixed in with the humans and elves.]

[Well, for you, even such a great talent is treated as a lizard, isn’t it? Even though he knew the difference in ability, his zeal to fight without giving up was quite impressive.]

[I think that dragons are just pitiful creatures that were mostly destroyed by man a long time ago. If I had appeared there, I would have crushed him.]

[Don’t do it. Don’t waste a promising bud.]

I cut Rena off while gently patting her head.

[So, that elf. Ludio Lambert, you say? How about that one?]

[I understand that he has unfathomable power, but I am too stupid to make any further judgments.]

Rena is a woman who seems reserved but says things clearly. No matter how much she doesn’t want to admit it, she will honestly affirm it as long as it is true.

For example, she is not afraid to talk about the greatest humiliation of all: if she and Lumiel, with whom she is always quarreling, were to kill each other in earnest, she would have no chance of winning.

That alone would be worth it for that elf man to make such a woman say she is unfathomable.

[I believe I heard someone called him a lieutenant general on the way home, that elf. He must have done quite well in the army.]

[It was unthinkable in the past. But now that the empire and the Southern Elven Kingdom of Tsefte Aria have allied, discrimination against elves in the empire has diminished considerably.]

It used to be that a non-human species could never become an officer, no matter what their accomplishments are in the military. Does that mean that it has been somewhat relaxed?

[But I could sense the slightest hint of humanity in the man. Perhaps he was not a pure-blood elf.]

As Rena guessed, I also felt such a sign.

Half-elves, huh? It has been 100 years since the alliance between humans and elves was formed. They may not even be a rare occurrence.

[At any rate, the students and the president seem to be an interesting bunch. It might not be a bad idea to spend some time together as students.]

[I’m not convinced that you would still be in the position of rector if you were in the position of the president, but I’m not convinced that you would be learning with those children. ……]

Rena pressed her head against my neck in a slightly sultry way. I popped it and stroked it.

[It’s a temporary sideshow. It will be over in a couple of years at the most–a blink of an eye.]

[Mmm~…… Lucifer-sama is the supreme king. He is a precious being. And yet.]

[I’m just a person here.]

That elf girl might have a little bit of a hunch.

No, but you can’t expect me, the highest-ranking demon god of Tenebrae, to disguise myself as a human and enter a military school.

Let’s force them to let us pass as human beings.

Rena has tightened her embrace. It was a sign that she was in a bad mood. I am a very simple person, but Rena is also a very simple and easy-to-understand woman. She is adorable.

[I heard that you were the first and last person to win first place in the three categories of swordsmanship in the entrance examination.]

[Seems so. ……]

She doesn’t seem to care about anything. I guess she doesn’t care about the empire at all anymore.

[What, aren’t you happy? I got the same grade as you on this exam. You and I are the only two people in history to have accomplished this feat.]

Rena reacts with a twitch at these words.

[Only me and Lucifer-sama in the history of the world! We’re the same, aren’t we?]

[Oh, yes. How’s that for a husband and wife?]

[Yes! That makes me very happy! I am very pleased to be matched with you, Lucifer-sama.]

[You’re good at what you do. All right, I’ll reward you. What would you like?]

Before I could get an answer, I pushed her down on the bed. I’m almost at the end of my patience. It’s hard for me to talk like this, pretending to be calm.

[So, then, can I have a moment of your time, Lucifer-sama ……?]

Up close, Rena’s lovely face turns vermilion.

[Fine, we’ll continue where we left off yesterday.]

Tonight I’ve put magic on the room to make it perfectly soundproof. With this, no matter how much noise is made, it won’t get suspicious.

A little rough around the edges is fine, right, Rena?

I put my hand on her maid’s uniform and forgot myself in my excitement when I felt the heat and softness of her bare skin.
