Operation Demon Castle Date ch15

p1
>>A sudden teatime!?

>Wait!
>What's going on here...!?
>Diana has no idea either...

p2
>I never thought Mama would step outside...
>She's been a shut-in since forever...
>Really now?

>Hey, Seren.

>Still talking to your daughter like that?
>Just let your kid go already.
>I don't want to hear that from you.
>You let such a small child be the Demon Lord...
>and without you there to teach her, she kidnapped Kukuru.
>Hrm.

>It's no big deal.
>Love won't start unless you make a move, y'know?
>Diana isn't small.
>They're related alright...

p3
>But still,

>you've grown big too, Kukuru♪
>Unyu
>You look just like when you were a runt♪

>Do you remember me at all?

>Eh? You know me?
>Of course I do♪

>After all...

p4
>Selen used to be my fiancée.

>Tch

>EEEEEEEEEEEH!?

p5
>It happened back when I was still a spry young Demon Lord on duty...
>Thanks to the Human and Demon Non-Aggression Treaty, there were no battles and I had all the time in the world.

>So I spent most of my time sneaking into the human world on the lookout for cute girls.
>Mama, you did such a thing...?
>I have a human fetish, after all♪

>It was then...
>Aah...
>Aah... Aaah...

p6
>Olivia...
>Oliviaaa...

>What's this?
>An irritating sound in broad daylight.
>Way to ruin the mood.

>Now then,
>I guess I should comfort her...

p7
>Wh-...
>Who goes there...?

>Oh... Ooh...

>...I love you.

p8
>Please
>marry me.

>And that was my fateful encounter with Selen...
>That sounds awfully familiar...
>Diana wouldn't know...

p9
>From then on, I would come over every day to get her to marry me, but...

>Are you here to be killed again?
>Woooah! Calm down!

>I'm not here to cause you any trouble!
>All I'm saying is that it's love at first sight!

>Don't mess with me!
>Eep!?

>Even though the Human and Demon Non-Aggression Treaty exists, the Demon Lord herself has violated it.

>I, the royal knight of the Olivia Kingdom,
>Selen Lislia will see that... you...

>...Oh?

p10
>Wha!?

>She really is cute!
>Wait, not that!

>You were crying the day I met you, Queeny.
>Did something happen?

>...It's got nothing to do with you.
>Please die immediately.

>I-I'm the Demon Lord, wielder of the most powerful magic in the world!
>Maybe there's something I can resolve with this magic!?

p11
>...This magic you speak of.
>Can it do anything?

>Y-Yeah!
>This is my demon power!
>My magic!

>...Then

p12
>can you bring my Olivia
>back to life...?

>Olivia.
>My father...

>You probably don't know much about her, Kukuru.
>This was shortly before you were born, after all.

>Hey, Princess.

p13
>How come this Olivia person is your father even though she's a girl?

>Hm?
>Now that you mention it...
>...

>Naturally, it's because
>Olivia was equipped with a-...

>M-My tail...
>Equipped...?

>...Olivia...

p14
>Olivia suffered from an unknown disease...

>None of the kingdom's doctors could cure her

>and so she...

>Even I can't bring the dead back to life.
>If I could do that, the demons would've had total victory in every war they fought in.

>...Mother...

>Hey, Mama.
>So how did you end up becoming Kukuru's Mama's fi-... fiancy? Diana wants to be the Princess' fiancy too.
>Fufu♪

>The cupid that shot her arrow of love,

p15
>was you, Kukuru!

>...Eh?
>Me...?

>It happened on a typical day when I would come over to play with Selen.

>Oh, Selen~
>Here we go.
>Today's the day you marry...

>Kukuru!

p16
>Get a hold of yourself!
>Kukuru!
>Kukuru!

>S-Selen-sama...
>Kukuru-sama's body...

>These marks...
>are the same that Olivia had...

>It can't be...
>Then Kukuru-sama will also...

>...Ah...
>Aaah...

p17
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

>Why!?
>Why must you do this, God!?
>If you want me to suffer, you can just kill me!

>Why do you always go for the ones dearest to me...!?

>Please...
>I don't care who...
>Somebody...
>I don't care what happens to me as long as this girl can be saved...

>I'm begging you...

p18
>Don't take another one
>of my precious people...

p19
>There.
>All better.

p20
>Y-You're a demon!?
>What did you do to Kukuru-sama!?

>Sorry.
>Go to sleep for a bit.

>...Mm....

>Kukuru!
>Mmm...?
>Mother...?

>Why are you crying...?

>Don't cry, Mother.

p21
>Kukuru will protect you.
>It'll be okay...

>...Yes...

>Yes it will...!

p22
>That was poison from a plant-based demon.

>It must have been passed down from Olivia.
>But how did she get it when there's a Non-Agression Treaty?
>Not that I'm one to talk.

>...That's...

p23
>Olivia was doing research on demons.
>It must've been then...

>...Research, huh...

>Well,
>I blasted away the poison inside Kukuru with my magic, so no need to worry.

>The recoil will reduce her stamina a little,
>but it shouldn't be a problem once she grows up.

>I can't bring the dead back to life,
>but if it's someone living, I can do anything.

>How's that?
>Pretty amazing, huh♪
>Bet you wanna marry me no-...

p24
>...Thank you...
>Thank you so much
>for saving Kukuru...

>N-No problem!
>I'm the strongest Demon Lord, after all!

>>What became of their relationship...?
