Child Rearing Hero and Children of the Demon King - Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Aura was startled by Yuuya who opened his eyes without swallowing antidote, but the twins laughed in satisfaction .

「…… Why are you laughing? Yuuya-san nearly died!」

Ignoring Aura’s words, the twins kept laughing as they grasped Yuuya’s hands .

「Nii~chan, you met with Kaa~chan, didn’t you?」
「Onii~san . It seems that Okaa~san was pleased with you」

I blinked in puzzlement .
I thought it was just an auditory hallucination since I was in a hazy state, but it appears to have been real .

「…… Eh~ was that perhaps your Okaasan?」




「Yea! Nii~chan, you did meet her after all!」
「You went to Okaa~san’s home! It was Okaa~san!」

I looked towards Pochi while patting the heads of the delighted twins . Would this fellow know?
The twins replied with things like「Lives far away」「Separated」when I asked about their mother . I didn’t have the time to ask the dying Demon King about their mother either .

「Pochi? Do you know these children’s mother?」

Pochi who was sitting down let out Hmph and approached .

「You are not aware? And yet you call yourself Prince’s and Princess’ guardian, how pathetic」




「Sorry, I don’t know . It would really help if you could tell me」

When I lowered my head, Pochi got cocky .

「The mother of Prince and Princess is the entity that governs over death! Because she governs over death, she lives in the Netherworld!」

I blinked in shock .

「…… Netherworld?」
「That’s right!」
「…… Governs over death?」
「Indeed!」

Errr . I recalled her voice .
She spoke of scolding him, but if she’s the entity that governs over death, the soul of the deceased Demon King might have gone to the Netherworld . And why did she left the children alone after seeing the Demon King pass away?
What would she do to me were I to pass away?
…… A shiver ran up my spine .

「…… Eh~ is your Okaasan scary?」
「Dunno~」
「I do not know . But, Otou~san said that he was scared of her」

…… Demon King . Go get yourself killed once more in the Netherworld .
If you come back, I swear I will defeat you once more . For sure .

The Brave Hero who stepped with one leg into the Netherworld swore such .

Aura muttered doubtfully .

「Death? Netherworld? …… Say, just how did your Okaasan meet with your Demon King Otousan……?」

At Aura’s words, Iric declared while brimming over with confidence .

「Tou~chan said he fell in love with Kaa~chan when he died of an illness!」

Demon King, how many times did you die from illness?
