"Hmm........."

Sitting on the edge of the pool, Erli let Shenqi rub her hair, and let out a soft hum as her head shook.

Maybe Shenqi was going to show Erli her achievements in space, or maybe she didn't wake up, and directly used this method to let the two of them relax in the dedicated bathroom together.

And according to Erli's own judgment, the possibility of the latter is very high, because after coming out of the water, Shenqi looked at her with bright eyes, and planned to take a bath.

In fact, the two had not bathed together before this, most of the time, it was Yumeko who was responsible for serving Shenqi, while Erli herself was basically alone, and occasionally Yumeko would come in to help, but she was politely rejected by Erli.

After all, if you really want to treat it like this, you will be raised with problems, even if you know it.

"Then again, little love.

What are you going to do with your hair over there? ”

Shenqi, who was coiling her hair, put some soap on it, rubbed Erli's hair at the same time, and subconsciously massaged her daughter's head.

“…… Not...

Use some plant ash and some animal fat to make some soap balls to wash...

… Mmmm..."

Half-squinted with her eyes half-squinted, Erri completely gave up resistance, regardless of the position she was now completely paralyzed on top of her mother, enjoying the massage that Shenqi gave her.

"Hmm......

… The development of the human world is really not as good as here in the demon world.

Fortunately, your hair can still be kept so well. ”

“……… Mother's ......

…… Isn't it thanks to Lin ...... Bertie? ”

Not only did she speed up the technological level of the Demon Realm, but she also really brought a new technology tree from a world that was even more infuriating to Newton.

“… yes...

This handmade soap is a craft she brought with her more than 300 years ago. ”

Seeing that he was almost there, Shenqi used his magic to summon a thin stream of water that didn't rinse Erlie's hair too hard.

“…… Is there no liquid state? ”

Closing her eyes, Ellie turned to her words with magical powers, for fear of water flowing into her mouth.

But when Shen Qi heard this, he paused and said quietly.

“… Little love......

… You'd better stay here. ”

After rinsing off the lather and smoothing her daughter's hair a few times with the help of the water, she wiped it on Erlie's hair with a towel that had been wet at some point.

It smells sour.

“……”

Erlie, who was about to ask something, thought about it and kept her mouth shut.

……

"So, come with me, little love."

“…… Yes, Mother. ”

After the two of them redressed and dressed up—of course, it was mainly Shenqi for Erli—and then the spirited Shenqi led Erli to the main hall with a helpless face.

The former always wears his favorite gothic-style red dress, but the style changes the style depending on the occasion. Every time there is a big meeting, just like now, the matching high-necked white dress is embroidered with dark gold thread.

The red dress has a few more petticoats, which looks like her body is a lot more petite, and the petticoats themselves are carefully embellished with tiny gemstones, like powder, not so bloated, but a little more natural.

The latter, on the other hand, is in the same black gothic style, but she is not painted with heavy makeup, but it sets off her whiteness and purity. In addition, she divided her hair into two strands and hung back, which looked a lot more peaceful, and at first glance, it only felt soft and boneless.

Of course, the premise is when you don't know what the identities of the two are.

Entering the never-ending staircase, Ellie still had to sigh at how this was done, and she still couldn't tell when she should open the door that existed in the space.

Moreover, Shenqi didn't seem to intend to tell her how to use this ability, and every time she asked, she would only say that it would be nice to have her.

Elle herself felt that she might have deliberately made herself clinging to her.

"Has everyone arrived?"

Arriving at the back of the main hall, Shenqi adjusted his expression and asked Yumeko, who was guarding aside, seriously.

"Yes, Mistress Shenqi.

There is no urgent report from the leaders at this time, but the matter of the Roman Empire is complex and it is up to you to decide. ”

Mengzi, who is both the head maid and the leader of the demon department, naturally has the same status as other leaders, and even with the daily status of a maid, she is even higher.

Naturally, she can assume the role of prime minister or even regent.

"So, let's deal with it.

Also, Xiao Ai has to listen carefully this time. ”

The first half of the sentence is still the joy and anger that can only be shown by a mature politician and an emperor, but the second half of the sentence instantly bursts out of the mother's character, and the gentle smile seems to be on the face all the time.

"Hmm."

Erli nodded, and followed Shenqi into the main hall.

When they saw the Lord of the Demon Realm, the demons who were still negotiating or whispering were immediately silenced, and at the same time, all the creatures half-knelt down their bodies, or lowered their bodies to the same level as everyone else, and they could not raise their heads until the gods ascended the throne.

Still, Shenqi followed the red carpet, walked up the thirteen steps behind him, came to the throne, faced the demons below, and slowly sat down.

Erri sat on the smaller throne to the right of Shenqi, and the plane itself was a little shorter than Shenqi's position: the central floor of the throne in the main hall was a protruding arch that was just right.

"Miss."

After helping Elle fold the folds of her dress a little more to make it less cluttered, Yumeko greeted Elle so softly; Seeing the princess of the Demon Realm bowing her head slightly, she bowed slightly and walked to the left side of the Lord of the Demon Realm.

"Lord Shenqi, you can start."

“… Before we begin, I want to announce one thing. ”

This time, she looked at the 23 people who were half-kneeling in front of her, and they bowed their heads when they felt the direction of the words and the gaze.

"After that, all the news and intelligence of all departments are open to Elle, and no one can stop her from trying to get relevant information and intelligence except for my personal orders."

"Huh?"

A soft scream came to an abrupt halt, and the princess of the Demon Realm covered her lips with her hands, revealing only a slightly reddened cheek.

Hearing this whispered movement, Shenqi paused, seemed to be a little fugue, settled down again, and continued.

“… Cough.

You have no objections, do you? ”

There was no reply from below, still keeping his head down.

"Then Arlie has the power to listen to you, and she has the power to govern you.

If you think it's wrong, you can report it to me. ”

"Yes."

Including Yumeko on the side, the leaders of the demons answered immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

“……… Mother? ”

Looking at Shenqi, the princess of the Demon Realm did not understand why the gods of the Demon Realm did this, but the latter did not answer, just looked at Irlie and smiled, and then began the real report.

“… so

As always, the situation of the Roman Empire, and this nascent Saracen Empire. ”
