CHAPTER 47 FAMILY

Night. Dirkherts bedtime has arrived.

Usually, he would get to the bed himself and say good night, but. The situation was a little odd today.

He stands in front of the bed, while tightly holding Chocola and bashfully says.

Dirk-sama? Its time to sleep

Un

Although he replies to Meluerinas words, theres no indication of him moving.

Heave, ho

Volsung lifts up Dirkhert and takes him to the bed. He intended to lull Dirkhert to sleep, but Dirkhert grabs Volsungs clothes and doesnt release.

Meluerina and Volsung exchange glances and tilt their heads at this different situation.

The two stoop down to match Dirkherts eyes and inquire.

Whats the matter?

Anone, that umm

He looked like he wanted to reply to Meluerinas answer, but his answer got stuck in his throat and is not coming out.

Its okay to say it slowly. Dirkhert-sama, please tell us anything you want to say

Anone, Lia said that she always sleeps together with her Papa

With those words alone, the two understood what the little Maou-sama wanted to say and smiles floated on their faces.

But, they cant say anything here. Its important for Dirkhert to say those words himself.

Dirk you see, doesnt have father nor mother, but Dirk has Melu and Vol

Thats right

We will always be with Dirk-sama

Un. Therefore, instead of father and mother, Melu and Vol, umm, therefore

They who are simply his attendants, being a replacement for parents made them really happy and somehow embarrassed. With smiles on their faces, they grasp Dirks small hands.

Dirk wants to sleep together with Melu and Vol!

What a sweet wish as expected.

Because he always slept alone in the castle, the thought of sleeping together with someone else probably didnt even cross his mind. But, after meeting Lilia, and talking about various things, he must have learned about family.

This is surely the little Maou-samas desire for family.

It became clear that he relies on them not only as attendants but even as his foster parents.

Of course, its greatly appreciated

Shall we three sleep together?

Hearing Meluerinas and Volsungs answer, Dirkhert somewhat bashfully covers his face.

In a small voiceThank youhe whispered.
