Child Rearing Hero and Children of the Demon King - Chapter 32

Chapter 32

The store was gloomy and the storekeeper’s looks were bad .




I will snatch your kids, he gave off such an impression .
Such hard-faced middle-aged man was staring at the twins .

「How cute you are~ n? How old are you, sonny, missy?」
「I’m four!」
「I am also four . We are twins」
「I see~ I see~, twins, huh! Truly adorable, oy! Your answers were also good, weren’t they? Would you like a candy? What flavor?」

…… He was fond of children . Humans can’t be judged by looks .

「Umm~ I would like to request you to realize my items」
「Oh~ leave it over there」




「No, I can’t do that . Take a look at it please」

Wryly smiling at the shopkeeper who was fully occupied by the children, I placed three tools at the counter .
I chose gorgeously glittering items with no magic effects . I was sure to choose things with high financial value .
Satisfied from giving the twins candies, the shopkeeper looked towards the items on the counter and nimbly raised one of his eyebrows .

「Hoo . These are of a value . What’s up with them, youngster . Did you steal them from someone?」

He obviously found them mismatched with my looks . It’s exactly what you thought .
They are originally the Demon King’s possessions after all .

「………… It’s not…… like I…… stole them……」

I got them from the Demon King’s treasury . They were apparently the children’s living expenses――I don’t think he would believe me .

「…… First of all, can I contact the authorities?」
「Nnn, no! Yuuya-san, why have you become so timid all of sudden!?」

Aura panicked . The twins who put away their candies in their pockets pulled on the shopkeeper’s sleeves .

「You are wrong, Uncle . This is what our Tou~chan gave Nii~chan to take care of us」
「Otou~san gave Onii~san those as our living expenses . Otou~san passed away from illness and entrusted us to Onii~san」

The shopkeeper said no more . The moment I thought he found it suspicious,

「Is that so? I see…… your touchan has died……」

He burst into tears . He seems to be a person who is easily moved to tears .

「Niisan, you have it hard even though you are so young…… to have to take care of such small children at such age…… I see, I see…… uh-huh, I get it . I get it」

He seemed to be consenting of something, but I have no idea what that is .
I decided to wait for the appraisal while not understanding .

「…… He was a good person, wasn’t he?」
「Yea, he was……」

After leaving the store behind, our economic conditions became warmer .
The shopkeeper was a good person . It was given since the Demon King’s treasures were valuable, but we got more money than I have expected .
But, I was troubled when he misunderstood Aura and I as a young married couple .
I was sweating when he didn’t believe me he misunderstood and told the twins「Think of this Niisan and Neesan as parents and do your best」 .
When I refuted in panic, Aura for some reason glared at me while the twins looked satisfied .
By the way, Pochi is house-sitting at the inn . He entered the town under the pretext of a finely disciplined pet, but I made sure to caution him about not loitering around the town . Pochi ignored me without complaining .

「Nii~chan, are we be able to eat something good now?」
「Yeah, we are」
「I want to eat vegetables」
「I want meat~」

I walked towards the inn while holding the hands of the twins who were in a good mood .

「…… You didn’t have to deny so desperately……」

Aura was muttering something, but I didn’t hear her well .
