HeroxMaou - Chapter 3

New Life

The room that was prepared for Cecilia was as Oliver said, a simple room.

But, being a corner room on the second floor, it is very sunny. Cecilia found it just right for sitting by the window and taking an afternoon nap.

naps are important

“…….It’s, morning.”

guten morgen

Because fatigue has built up, even though it was the hero’s home, she slept soundly. Even though she thought of it as a mistake, it can’t be helped since it’s already been done.

Even though it was of a plain make, the high-quality sheets were very comfortable on the skin.

great sheets are necessary for good sleep

She looked around the room wondering what the time is now, but there is no clock so she couldn’t’ tell.

window?

“……For now, I guess I will wash my face.”

wake up first

The room Cecilia was given had a main room, and a bedroom. Also a small washroom is attached. Unfortunately there is no bath, but she can use the wide one in the mansion.

Towel and toothbrush and other necessities were all prepared. She washed her face with water and wiped it with a fluffy towel. Just as she finished preparing to brush her teeth, she realised she did not have a change of clothes.

…kidnapped after all, no time to pack

What she is wearing now, is simple nightclothes.

Oliver had apologetically said that this was all he could prepare immediately, but it was sufficient for Cecilia.

The demon lord’s clothing she had worn yesterday are dirty and cannot be worn. So it has probably been thrown away.

yeah….blood-stained….

“……closet?”

…..alr?

Unexpectedly, the closet in the bedroom entered her eyes.

Possibly, spare clothes might have been left there. Thinking it would be better than staying in nightclothes, she checked inside.

surprise!

“………………..?”

???

In there, there was a number of clothing.

And, for women.

…mistress?

“Why?”

maid?

Even though he said, there was no women clothing in this mansion.

But, after observing closely, those clothing are perfect for Cecilia’s size. Being self-aware that she is petite at 152cm, Cecilia found it strange.

In this world, the average woman’s height is above 160cm.

lolicon hero

Of course these were all prepared by Oliver while it was night, but Cecilia wouldn’t know that.

ah, explains it

“But, it’s better than this appearance I guess?”

somethings can be worse

Taking out a set from the closet, she changed.

Since they are all the type of cute clothing adorned with lace, feeling like they wouldn’t suit her, she sighed.

The knee-length skirt had a large ribbon attached to the back at the hip area. Atop the short-sleeve shirt, was a cardigan knitted with soft wool.

From the cuffs that completely hid her hands, only the tip of her fingers peeked out.

oversized clothings are great

Cecilia did not even consider that Oliver had scrupulously calculated and adjusted the length of the sleeve.

………no…just…no

“……somehow, I can’t calm down.”

well, you are in a pervert’s house…

The Cecilia reflected in the mirror, is a very cute girl.

Unfortunately the person in question does not have that self-awareness, but that is part of her purity and is also cute.

kawaii cecilia~

“……ah, my hair got burnt a little.”

w0t???

Most likely, it got burnt in the battle with the hero—Oliver, yesterday.

Unless you look closely, it is not noticeable, just about 2mm. Cutting it simply in the washroom, Cecilia smiled satisfiedly.

when was fire even used?

“……what should I do now?”

eh…read?

—is it okay to leave the room?

probably

It’s not like she was told to do anything in the mansion. Cecilia tilted her head, but thinking there was no point staying in the room, she quietly opened the door.

It might really have been better to spend the day shut in the room, but Cecilia’s stomach complained about its hunger.

If there is food, she would like a little.

eat it all!

“……?”

what?

When she took a step down the corridor, some kind of large sound came from downstairs.

Just as she thought it really might have been better to obediently stay in the room, Oliver came up the stairs and showed his face.

its a pervert!

“Morning, Cecilia. It seems you slept well, that’s good.”

“………………Good morning.”

ohayo~

With a smile unchanged from yesterday, Oliver called out to Cecilia.

no leave cecilia alone alr, punsuka

“Good, you wore it. and, your hair, you cut it a little. Yep, it’s very cute, Cecily.”

“…………It’s, Cecilia.”

….what kinda eyesight is that

Only 2mm of hair was cut off.

Even as she thought that in her mind, Cecilia said nothing.

say it!

“A shame. Currently, I’m having the furniture for Cecilia brought in.I prepared cute ones, I think you will like it.”

“…………okay.”

…cute furniture like?

—Why, is he doing these things for me that he is planning to kill?

neh, even he is not stupid enough to do that

“Aren’t you, going to kill me?”

that would be the most evil act

The words came out more clearly than normal. Oliver, looking slightly surprised, quietly said “I won’t do that.”

ofc

“After all I did to save you. It’s good that a scar wasn’t left on your skin.”

“……”

a scar ypu made idiot hero

Even if an elixir was used, Oliver is the hero. He was somewhat uneasy that the wound might not heal completely.

when your strength is not a good thing

“……there is, no scar.”

“Hm. That’s good. I’m sorry. It hurt right?”

“……No. I am the demon lord, and you are the hero. This is not, something to apologise for.”

“But, I do regret injuring the cute Cecilia.”

you had better

Since it has already healed, and it was a battle, Cecilia doesn’t mind it.

Oliver smiled, “It’s good your cute skin was protected.”

yes, cute is important

Cecilia, could not understand Oliver’s thoughts at all.

For some reason, various things are happening downstairs for Cecilia’s sake. She tilted her head and wondered if different from demons, humans had a culture of entertaining the humans they are going to kill.

She didn’t really understand, but for now Cecilia nodded and went downstairs.

cute

is justice

“I’ve prepared breakfast here, so relax and eat.”

“……..Thank you very much.”

esper?

Oliver had prepared a soft walnut bread, and scrambled eggs for Cecilia. There was also crispy bacon and salad. For dessert is yogurt with plenty of fruits.

Oliver had thought that for Cecilia’s cuteness, proper eating habits were absolutely essential. He even cooked the breakfast that he often didn’t eat himself.

Seeing the quality that was as if it was made by a professional cook, Cecilia was surprised.

hero can cook?

Repressing the urge to stay and observe Cecilia that had begun nibbling at the food like a rabbit, Oliver said “Relax and eat” and headed to the merchant’s.

rusa-cecilia?

He was enthusiastic about preparing the furniture for Cecilia.

I still don’t get what constitutes as cute furniture]

“Sorry to keep you waiting, so?”

“How about this sofa?”

“Hm, guess I will have that.”

so easily?

When he returned to the living room, the merchant was in the middle of remodeling the room.

He had thought that if he was going to take in Cecilia, he must properly prepare some furnishings. Fortunately, the job of a hero comes with plenty of money.

where does that money come from? tax?

The sofa the merchant recommended was a large one seater sofa. It was large enough for not just Cecilia, but for Oliver as well to relax in it without any problems.

In fact, Cecilia might sink into the too soft sofa. Thinking that, his lips naturally curled upwards.

Atop the white sofa, he has some cute soft cushions placed. Having been embroidered with a cute pattern of sweets, it was very cute.

sweets? O.o

“It would be nice to have a lap blanket nearby.”

“In that case, it would also be good to have a side table too. I currently have some, so please take a look.”

“Aah.”

great sales strats

The merchant arranged side tables and small chests. As well as a few varieties of lap blankets before Oliver.

Feeling that the furniture made with lovely stained glass fit the atmosphere of the dreamy Cecilia very well, Oliver nodded. While having those prepared, he chose the lap blankets.

also important

“It would be nice to have a few, so I guess I will take three.”

“Thank you very much.”

i think four would be better

The first one is a lap blanket in the shape of a rabbit. Made of fluffy fabric, it would be a treasure on cold days.

The second one, is a neat white lap blanket with lace. Made with thin fabric, it is cute and can be used at anytime.

The third one, is a calm sepia-colored lap blanket. It’s thickness is just midway between the other two, so it can be used easily all the time.

why rabbit ;-; get cat

Satisfiedly packing away the lap blankets, he left just the lace one on the sofa.

He was thinking of making use of it later. Since the clothes he prepared for Cecilia had arrived today, the coordination of the lace would fit her well.

lace+lace?

“After this, is the room’s preparations?”

“Yeah, I would like to request for the entirety of the innermost room on the second floor.”

make it cute

The merchant was requested by Oliver to remodel Cecilia’s room as well.

The request was for a cute room any girl would be delighted with. In reality he doesn’t know if Cecilia would be delighted, but the person herself had no requests.

In that case, Oliver chose to arrange it as he liked.

The merchant went up to the second floor, and quickly began arranging the room. Seeing him off from the living room, Oliver had delusions about their sweet life from now on.

yes delusions

Cecilia wearing the clothes he had prepared, and living in the room he had prepared. How sweet that sounded.

o much sugar

—I want her to sit on this sofa.

Covered with the lace lap blanket, I want to feed her delicious cake.

nomnom

“Ah, oh yeah. I called the tailor for this afternoon.”

did you call a barber too?

While thinking about various preparations for Cecilia’s clothes, he remembered what he had arranged for.

In that case, they can’t relax and enjoy tea time in the afternoon. That is very unfortunate, but preparing Cecilia’s clothes is a very important task.

Additionally, he planned to call for someone to bring in cosmetics at another time.

home shopping

“Cecilia is cute even without make up, but there is nothing wrong with having more bath articles.”

i dont get it either

Since Oliver lived alone as well as not really having much interest, his bath articles were lacking.

He would like to at least prepare bath bombs. He would also like to remodel the bathroom, but as expected he couldn’t set about that immediately.

He is thinking of slowly remodeling the mansion as time went on.

no just do it in one go….

“……………………Erm.”

“Cecilia?”

cecilia!

As he was thinking about what to do next, Cecilia came to the living room.

It seems she has finished her meal. Looking like she wasn’t sure what to do, her expression was confused.

just be cute

“……What, should I do?”

“—Let’s see. For now, there is one thing I would like you to do urgently.”

?

Oliver gently took Cecilia’s had and escorted her into the living room.

As she wondered what exactly he wanted her to do, she docilely obeyed while feeling uneasy. She considered whether she would finally be killed, but it doesn’t seem that way.

just a simple request~

“Try sitting here.”

“Eh……?”

very simple :3

At the end of the escort, was the sofa Oliver had prepared for Cecilia’s exclusive use.

When she slowly lowered herself into it, Cecilia easily sank into the soft material of the sofa. Hearing Oliver muttering “Yep, cute as expected.” satisfiedly, she sent a bewildered gaze towards him.

But without minding that, he gently covered her with the lap blanket made from lace.

how is it?

“Ah……”

“?”

kawaii?

But Oliver’s voice unintentionally leaked out. Cecilia tilted her head, wondering what was wrong, but he just smiled bitterly and said “nothing.”

Well that’s fine then, and so Cecilia hid herself into the soft sofa.

oh yeah lap blankets hide

—when covered by the lap blankets, I can’t see Cecilia’s cute legs!

The hero Oliver, was greatly regretting his mistaken decision
