Chapter 27 : Side Story, Copper-kun"s Daily Life
T/N: I know this is a side story so I should"ve put it as Side Story 1 instead of Chapter 27 but the original author put this chapter as : ２７．番外編：コペル君の一日 So here you go! Chapter 27 it is!
This chapter will be in Copper"s POV.
—————————————–
Good afternoon everyone! Today, I will give you guys a tour to my daily life in Maou"s Castle!
First thing first!
I needed to wake Maou-sama and prepared a warm bath for him so he could soak in the tub to relieve the tension in his body!
—————————————–
"Your a.s.sistance is unnecessary."
Ah… Turned out, Velke-sama from Velluclesis tribe had finished the preparation without my help.
Velke-sama was Maou-sama"s most trusted advisor and he always stayed close to Maou-sama"s side at all times.
Each time I asked Velke-sama if there was anything I could do to help in a.s.sisting Maou-sama, Velke-sama always said that my help was unnecessary and rejected my offer.
But I won"t give up!
The next thing on today"s to do list was preparing for Maou-sama"s morning bath!
Maou-sama loves taking a warm bath in the morning so I was going to prepare a soft and fluffy towel for Maou-sama to wipe him off after he finished his bath.
"Your a.s.sistance is unnecessary."
Uuuugh…
Once again, Velke-sama already finished the preparation beforehand.
I watched as Velke-sama gently wiped Maou-sama"s body and a.s.sisted Maou-sama into his today"s attire.
The two of them were always together, I"m so jealous!
According to Alexius-sama, Velke-sama was nothing but a stalker.
I wonder what was "stalker" mean?
—————————————–
Okay, next job was preparing breakfast!
Elk-sama, the incubus was very good at cooking, you know!
"Fufufu~ Why of course~ The way to a man"s heart is through his stomach after all so being good at cooking is a must~"
No matter how many time I saw him, Elk-sama looked like a beautiful big sister on the outside but when I smelled him, his scent was like a ravenous raptor, ready to pounce on his prey at any time.
I decided to help Elk-sama in preparing breakfast.
Ah, right!
There was something that I was good at!
I"m very confident with my skill in making sweet food!
Luckily, Maou-sama loves sweet food!
I"ve just received this new recipe for dessert that seemed super delicious so I planned on challenging myself into preparing this new recipe for today"s dessert!
—————————————–
Ah I finally finished it!
In front of me, there laid a huge platter of dessert.
I"ve prepared enough for everyone"s portion so even if they were to overslept and missed breakfast time, there would be enough leftovers for them to eat.
I brought the dessert to the dining room and saw Alexius-sama was already there.
He yawned widely and beckoned at me to come inside.
Alexius-sama.. He was.. A little scary if I may say.
To other people, it might seemed like Alexius-sama never did anything but sleep all day but I knew that Alexius-sama always went flying to a far away place, searching for another demonkind.
By the time Alexius-sama came back to Maou"s castle, he was already dead tired hence why he always spent his time sleeping until he regained his energy back.
Velke-sama always said that Alexius-sama was a good-for-nothing parasite but I knew that Alexius-sama was actually a hardworking man.
—————————————–
"Oh my, my.. I"m sorry for troubling you again this morning."
"It"s alright. I was able to get a good practice thanks to you too."
Chaos-sama from lizardman tribe and Sybyl-sama from sabre tiger tribe joined us in the dining room.
The two of them always spent their morning practicing their swordsmans.h.i.+p even though they were already strong to begin with!
They were so amazing!
—————————————–
"Good morning Copper."
My best friend, Lexus-kun greeted me.
Lexus-kun was a werewolf, our race was pretty similar so we had a close relations.h.i.+p.
Before he stepped in the dining room, Lexus-kun had been warily looking for Velke-sama.
When he was sure Velke-sama was nowhere to be seen, Lexus-kun looked visibly relaxed and finally sat down for a meal.
Velke-sama had beaten Lexus-kun so badly that Lexus-kun was only an inch away from the death"s door, hence why Lexus-kun was so afraid of Velke-sama.
I once asked Velke-sama about it and Velke-sama said that it would be a waste to actually kill Lexus-kun since Velke-sama wouldn"t feel satisfied if he had only killed Lexus-kun once.
I think.. It"d be better if Lexus-kun kept his distance away from Velke-sama for the time being..
—————————————–
"Eugh. These filthy mongrels.. What are you guys doing here? Get the h.e.l.l out of my sight! Shoo!"
Uuugh… Collin-sama, the cat sidhe was bullying us again..
He shooed us away from our seat with his hand.
Collin-sama was the financial advisor of Maou"s castle.
He knew when to buy the goods at the cheapest price and when to sell the goods at the highest price.
Collin-sama was really amazing!
Although Collin-sama always bullied the two of us, he would sometimes gave us beef jerky while acting harshly like usual.
I think people like Collin-sama was what you would call a tsundere.
—————————————–
After breakfast, the next thing to do was doing the laundry.
Every personnel in Maou"s castle worked together in was.h.i.+ng and drying the laundry.
I didn"t know why but we didn"t need to do any sweeping or cleaning the dust off in Maou"s castle because somehow the castle was always sparkly clean.
Perhaps, this was thanks to the power of our Maou-sama?
—————————————–
I"ve finally finished my duty! Yay!
Now that I had a free time, I walked around the castle to look for the dire wolves.
I loved the dire wolves!
We often exchanged information about the best spot to hide our favourite things in the Maou"s castle.
Although, I would never tell them the place where I hid my most treasured ball that I received from Maou-sama.
—————————————–
After talking with the dire wolves, I walked around the castle again and I met another fellow demonkind.
It was a nagaraja, his name was Naru.. Umm….His name was really hard to p.r.o.nounce..Let"s just call him Naru-sama!
I asked Naru-sama where he was going and he answered, "The audience room."
Hmm.. Yesterday, he also said that he was going to go to the audience room.
Maybe he got lost?
—————————————–
I"ve arrived in the nursery room!
In here, there was a lot of demonkind"s children frolicking around.
My children was also here as well!
You know, my children were actually more dependable than me..
They said that because their father (that"s me) was not dependable, they had to make do by being dependable themselves.. Uuuugh….
"Oh. Copper, you"re here too?"
Maou-sama! He was here!
Today was a day off for Maou-sama so he went here to sit back and relax.
I remembered that Maou-sama once complained that he needed 2 days off every week from doing "it".
Ah of course, Velke-sama was with him too as always.
Seemed like Velke-sama was going to teach his children some magic today.
I also wanted to teach my children something useful..
But I couldn"t teach them anything since my only forte was making dessert…
So frustrating..
Anyway, today I played with my children until dusk.
When the night came, I helped Elk-sama in preparing tonight"s dinner.
—————————————–
Okay!
I failed in a.s.sisting Maou-sama with his morning preparation but I will definitely help Maou-sama with his night arrangement for sure!
This time for sure! I will help Maou-sama!
"Your a.s.sistance is unnecessary."
Uwawawah……
As expected.. I lost to Velke-sama once again….
