Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager

"Today it's the heart-shaped shell~ Does it look good, Lureya?"

"It's indeed nice, but my pink band-aid isn't bad either~"

The two girls started critiquing each other's outfits.

"I was wondering why you're not surprised by this type of Lureya, turns out you were prepared too! There's no fabric left, why bother critiquing outfits!"

Shami looked, shocked, at the casual discussion about outfits between the flat-chested golden-haired girl and the big-chested white-haired girl.

Strange, just too strange, this scene is way too ahead of its time.

"Eh... I thought at home you could do whatever you want... Apparently not?"

The white-haired girl looked pitifully at Shami.

"Freedom to dress! Defend it with all might! Without freedom, I'd rather die!"

The Elf Maiden raised her hands high, fanning the flames.

"...Not really. Just need to be careful not to be seen by others. Otherwise, if news spreads that Demon King Castle is an exhibitionist's haven, that won't be good."

Shami explained.

He actually didn't oppose the Demon Envoy girls' home outfits, after all, living together with them allowed him an eyeful.

It's just that it required a bit of extra effort from little Shami.

The chit-chat concluded.

The white-haired girl's luggage still had the stage curtains from Saint Karno School's grand hall, plaques from the Swordsman Academy's teaching building, road signs from Saint Karno City streets reading [Waiting for you in Saint Karno City]...

"Lina, you're the real thief here! You stole a bunch of strange stuff!"

Shami complained with a sigh, completely clueless as to where to put this stuff. Even in a warehouse, there's no suitable area to place them.

"I thought those might be useful someday, so I borrowed them a bit. If you like, I can do better next semester~"

The white-haired girl looked embarrassed by the compliment.

"I'm not complimenting you; clean up this garbage-picking behavior."

Shami couldn't quite bring himself to scold the white-haired girl as he looked at the shell bobbing in front of her; he had to gently guide her.

Though the Demon King was currently unsure about the usability of these things, he decided to move all items to the warehouse floor underneath Demon King Castle, creating a [Garbage] section, placing the items in it for the time being.

"Achoo!"

The golden-haired girl sneezed, rubbing her small hand over her white arm.

"Feeling cold now, huh?"

"It's fine. It's just a bit of wind."

The flat-chested golden-haired girl bit hard with her words.

"Don't wear your summer home outfit in winter, seal it up and wait till spring when it's warmer to wear it. Demon King Castle still upholds absolute freedom of dress."

Shami subtly changed his tone, looking at the flat-chested golden-haired girl.

Finding an excuse, the flat-chested golden-haired girl quickly grabbed a coat to put on.

"Where's Lina?"

"Eh? I don't actually need it. Even dressed like this in snowy weather, I feel comfortable."

The white-haired girl tilted her head, stood on tiptoes, and spun around gracefully, showcasing her elegant posture.

Shami recalled the white-haired girl's inherent super cold-resistant attribute and decided not to nag further.

But the flat-chested golden-haired girl couldn't allow such exposure with herself being covered.

This would surely tempt the Demon King!

With a keen eye on large assets, the flat-chested golden-haired girl seized the opportunity and pulled the white-haired girl over.

"Lina, bad kids not dressing properly in winter won't get presents from Santa Claus~"

The white-haired girl swiftly put on clothes.

Shami, who couldn't hear this whisper, was bewildered.

"Golden hair, what exactly are you talking about?"

With winter break starting, the Demon Envoys going to school gradually returned home, exciting the Wisteria Tree Spirit.

[Lively... A bit of liveliness is good, ahem...]

The Demon Realm slowly began buzzing.

Demon King Castle.

Afternoon.

Both the flat-chested golden-haired girl and the white-haired girl had left Demon King Castle, running around the Demon Realm.

Shami was too lazy to manage them, letting the two girls move freely everywhere.

Standing on the balcony of Demon King Castle, looking through a telescope, he occasionally caught sight of the girls.

Watching the playful Demon Envoys, Shami felt a special sense of accomplishment inside.

"Watching the little cats and dogs you've raised play joyfully in the yard, your mood lightens up, and a sense of pride emerges. This must be the feeling."

The Dragon Race Maiden was the third one to return home.

The Teleportation Gate was opened in the corner of the balcony.

She cautiously poked her head out, checked the surroundings before stepping out lightly.

After a session of plain tethered PLAY with Shami during [Slime Tribe Camouflage Ability Intensification Training], nearly tying the Demon King with her tail, she escaped back to Saint Karno City with a guilty conscience, unsure for a moment how to face Shami.

As the Demon Envoy, I nearly squeezed my own master to death, which would be a joke across the whole continent if it got out.

Although I've already apologized to Shami via ring communication, Shami hasn't contacted her since, and the Dragon Race Maiden isn't sure if she's been removed from the demon race.

Please don't fire her; she's already decided not to switch jobs for the rest of her life.

"Why are you sneaking around?"

The sudden voice startled the Dragon Race Maiden.

The Dragon Race Maiden looked behind her, and saw Shami standing with arms crossed, calmly watching her.

Shami was bathed in sunlight, with light particles dancing on his black hair.

"Shami, you're still alive..."

"? Elze, isn't Saint Karno City where you went, not the realm of Zuan?"

Seeing Shami alive, the Dragon Race Maiden's nostrils slightly reddened.

It seems there are no lingering after-effects.

The Dragon Race Maiden's small mouth slightly opened, just about to exchange pleasantries, when her dragon tail had already swayed to the front, the tail making a "come here" gesture toward Shami, causing the Dragon Race Maiden to quickly hug her tail.

Don't cause any more trouble for her, although she enjoyed that binding play very much, if it continues like this, she'll be no different from a lustful dragon just wanting to play bondage!

"Well, um, sorry about that... Can I still stay?"

"What are you talking about?"

Shami looked over quizzically.

The Dragon Race Maiden indicated her tail and softly spoke about what happened that day.

"Ah, so that's what it was. At that time, I did feel like I was going to die."

If the Dragon Race Maiden hadn't mentioned it, Shami would have almost forgotten.

"Sorry... It's all the tail's fault. If you have to blame someone, then cut off the tail..."

The Dragon Race Maiden's eyes showed a humble expression, making a righteous split with her tail.

"Please don't fire a good employee over such mistakes... Having worked for the demon race, I'll be the first one eliminated when applying anywhere else afterwards..."

Shami paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

As the only complete form of an alien girl in the demon race, Elze was perfect in Shami's eyes, with her horns and tail; how could he cut off the tail.

"It's not your fault. After all, I did make the first move. The tail probably had a stress reaction."

"Exactly, the tail is naughty, spank the tail."

The Dragon Race Maiden quickly agreed with Shami.

"However, it's time to train your tail a bit. If the tail keeps misbehaving, it can be quite troublesome."

Shami looked toward the Dragon Race Maiden and decided to find time to carefully study the Dragon Race Maiden's tail, as well as her Magic Array.

After signing the contract with the Dragon Race Maiden, he hadn't had the chance to study that symbol on her tongue.

Seeing that Shami wasn't angry at all, the Dragon Race Maiden finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I will fully cooperate, please feel free to train me!"

——

Evening.

Dinner.

Hall.

Long dining table.

Shami and the three maidens were having dinner.

"By the way, where's Saili? Haven't seen her in a while."

Shami's mind conjured up the image of the Magical Girl.

"Saili? After becoming the Saintess of Fata during the Saintess promotion ceremony, she left Saint Karno School. Now she should be busy with various things at Fata."

The Dragon Race Maiden tilted her head slightly and said.

Shami nodded knowingly.

So, the Magical Girl has lost her student vacation and started her corporate life?

"That's really unfortunate."

"Actually, it's not that bad. Saili is busy with many things at Fata. If she were to run between Fata and Demon King Castle, the workload could be too much. If she gets overworked and dies at work, what then? Even if there are only three Demon Envoys, we can have a good winter at Demon King Castle."

The Elf Maiden quickly chimed in, smiling brightly.

This winter, the Elf Maiden had a lot of plans, and her biggest concern was the enigmatic Magical Girl being around.

From the moment she made her appearance, the Elf Maiden felt she would always be overshadowed by the Magical Girl.

The calm black-haired girl, with those perpetually steady eyes, made the Elf Maiden unable to guess her thoughts.

Now, with the Magical Girl absent, it's actually a good thing; otherwise, any small schemes would be instantly seen through.

Just as the words fell.

A Teleportation Gate appeared.

The Magical Girl slowly emerged from the door.

"I heard someone said I was dead?"
