Boku wa Chiisana Maou-sama Chapter 44
When the sun reached just overhead. The village men returned to the village for lunch.
One of the men approaches Dirkhert and others.
「Lia, it’s noon so let’s go for a lunch」
「Ah, papa!」
The man appears to be Lilia’s father. He turns towards Volsung and bows.
「I’m sorry, Elf-sama. It seems you have taken care of our daughter&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」
「No, I should be thankful. I’m grateful she gets along with our master」
After they greet each other, Lilia pulls on her father’s clothes and starts talking in excitement.
「Papa, anone, Elf-sama is sugoi, you know! He whistled pii~ on his fingers, lots and lots of animal-sans gathered, and he even put birds on my shoulders, they were really cute!」
「I see, I see, you have witnessed Elf-sama’s power, you have had a really valuable experience」
Her father says while stroking her head.
In addition to having an incredible power, elves don’t appear that much in front of people. Even if they are occasionally seen, they usually don’t engage with other races. Because of that, they are called the Envoys of G.o.d by races other than demons.
Normally, it’s an honor just seeing an elf, but his daughter was able to even to witness his power. It was a truly valuable experience for Lilia, and her father would feel anxious if he didn’t remind her and she made a blunder.
The repeated「I’m terribly sorry, thank you very much」is probably because of that.
「Nee Papa, I’d like to have a meal with Dirk-kun」
「You can’t do that, wouldn’t you be bother to Elf-sama?」
「Eeh~ I want to be together with Dirk-kun!」
Hearing her words, Dirk pulls on Volsung’s clothes and asks.
「Dirk also wants to eat with Lilia! Nee Vol, isn’t it okay?」
Volsung couldn’t say no to the little Maou-sama who asked with his head tilted to the side.
「Then, we should ask Tris-san to prepare two additional portions for Lia-chan and Lia-chan’s father, don’t we?」
Dirk who heard that,「Then, Dirk will go!」. He grasped Lilia’s hand, and they run to the Inn together.
「I, is it alright for someone like me to join&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;?」
「No, I have selfishly decided that on my own&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; was it unnecessary?」
「That’s out of a question! I’m very grateful. Because of me, my daughter doesn’t have anyone she could call friend&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」
「Because of you, just what do you&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」
A cheerful girl like her doesn’t have any friends? Just what does he mean? Volsung inquires.
「Vol, quickly~!」
「Papa hurry up too~!」
The children call out to them.
「First of all, shall we go inside?」
「Yes, let’s do that」
Volsung and Lilia’s father exchange wry smiles, they collect the things and stuffed animals the children left behind and enter the Inn.
