Vacation Maou to Pet ch10: The Demon King and Nio

p1
>Man, Nio-san!
>The end-of-term tests are over...

p2
>and summer break is finally here!!
>Woohoo!

>So how did you do on your tests, Shiba-chan?
>Ugh!
>I don't wanna hear it! I had just forgotten all about it!
>My braaaain~

>My parents are so annoying~
>They think every single test has some relation to my future prospects...
>Woah, sounds rough.

>It finally feels like summer break, huh?
>What's the cooking club gonna do over the break, Shiba-chan?

>We're having a one-night, two-day training camp.
>Apparently we'll be making three meals a day, with something extravagant for the evening!
>Heh~
>Sounds nice

p3
>But that's pretty much it.
>Since it's summer, I wanna go to the beach.
>Let's play~
>I think the aquarium in the next town over has finished remodelling, so I wanna check that out too!

>I see.
>The seasons have changed a little since the Demon King once again returned to the demon realm.
>My summer break began yesterday.

>Chidori was lonely at first...
>Is the Demon King...
>not gonna come back...?

p4
>Don't worry.
>The Demon King will be back.

>She told you too, didn't she?
>That she'll read you stories once she gets back.
>...

>She's gradually come to accept it recently
>and doesn't complain as much...
>I'll read this to the Demon King.
>Read it to her!?

>...-o
>Nio!
>Hm!?
>Ah, sorry, I wasn't listening!
>You sometimes space out while thinking about stuff, huh~

p5
>Like Mao-san, right?
>You said she went back to her home country but
>maybe she'll come over for summer vacation?

>Ah.
>But she's not really a student, is she?
>So it being summer wouldn't make much of a difference, would it?

p6
>This is her we're talking about.
>She'll be back soon enough.

>That Demon King.

>No matter how many days
>or years it might take,

>she'll keep that promise she made with that nonchallant expression.

p7
>I believe in her.
>But...
>I wonder what I'll do if it takes her twenty years. [TN: I see what you did there, Neji.]
>Ahaha...

>Ah, it's open.

>I'm home~
>I wonder if Mom's gone to pick up Chidori.
>Nya~

>Nya~
>Chabo.

>What's wrong?
>You don't usually demand food from me...

p8
>Oh.
>You're home. I've been waiting for you.

p9
>Welcome back,
>Nio.

>Nyaa

p10
>The Demon King, who I hadn't seen in a while,
>no longer had the horns and tail that made her stand out.
>Up we go
>I quit being a demon king, just like you told me to.

>I no longer have the same power I had before,
>but it is of little inconvenience for this world.

>? What's wrong? You're all stiff.
>But...

p11
>Don't you have anything you want to say,
>Nio?
>When I see that smile that only the Demon King can make

>my chest gets all tight.
>Erm... De-...
>I'm home~
>De-

>Oh, Tsugumi and Chidori are home.
>Oh!

p12
>Miss Demon King!
>You're home?
>It's been a while!
>Yes, it sure...
>has.

>Demon King...

p13
>Oh! Have you gotten a little bigger, Chidori?
>Oh my
>I'm sorry.
>I gave the horns you liked so much to my subordinate.
>It's fine... I don't need the horns...

>Oh dear.
>If you're happy, then don't cry! Let out a rip-roaring laugh, okay?
>fuhaha

>Now then.

p14
>With this, I can publicly reveal that Nio is my wife!

>Nio-chan is Demon King's wife?
>Dwaaah

>E-Erm... well...
>Aw, are you blushing, Nio?

>Looks like
>we'll have to go out for some delicious food to celebrate that as well~
>I'll go get changed~
>..That's right.

p15
>After the Demon King left,
>I enthusiastically told Mom about all this stuff but...

>She finally confessed to you, huh?
>Ufufufu
>Actually, I knew from the start so it's okay with me~

>...She accepted it so easily.
>On top of that, I learned that Mom was an old acquaintance of hers.
>Eh!? Eh?
>You're okay with that? It's the wife... of a Demon Lord, right?
>Um... She's a girl and not even human...!

p16
>If I weren't okay with it, I wouldn't have given my approval to begin with.

>To be honest, I thought she would've been against it,
>so it made me happy.

>...Hah, putting that aside,
>Demon King-chan and Nio,
>take care of each other okay?
>it's really embarrassing when you look at me like that...!!!

>And it'll keep being like this from now on, too...
>...o.
>Nio?
>Ah, yes?

p17
>!!

p18
>...There's
>still some words
>that you've yet to say to me, isn't there?

p19
>Mm!

>...Demon King.

p20
>Welcome home.
