The Great Demon King Who Was Kidnapped After Jokingly Flirting - Didn't You Know? You Can't Escape from the Female Heroes - Chapter 29: Like a Brother
“What I want to know is― did that prince ever come close to being your husband or anything like that, Shini?”
Even amidst our lascivious acts, the conversation shifts to girlish romantic talks, leaving me wondering about the stark contrast. To Divias’ query, Shini responds with a puzzled yet casual air.
“Oh, that’s right, there was something like that. My dad and his king were good friends, and Ta-kun, when he was smaller, used to say things like ‘I’m going to marry Shini-nee-chan!'”
“Really? And then what happened?”
“Yeah, I would respond with ‘When we’re grown up,’ but it was just kids’ talk. As he grew a bit older, he’d get all defiant, denying those old conversations, saying he didn’t remember them. But now, none of that matters. I have Jar-kun!”
Shini doesn’t take the childhood promise too seriously, but still…
“Come to think of it, right before the final battle, Ta-kun said he had something important to discuss once I returned. I wonder what it was?”
“……Shini… that probably was…”
Shini mentions it casually, but the other four show a mixture of realization and dismay.
I, too, can’t help but think that the “important thing” was likely a proposal…
“I’ll have to tell my dad, mom, and Ta-kun about Jar-kun and the pregnancy once things calm down. I wonder if everyone will be happy for me?”
Probably… they would all be in shock…
“Sorry, Jar-kun, for talking about another guy before you, even if he’s like family. But you know, you’re the one I love the most! As an apology… let’s do it one more time♥”
“No, wait―――”
“Mmm―――♥”
For Shini, that past and those connections are no longer a priority over her relationship with me. She leans into me again, lasciviously entwining herself around me. But it was at that moment…
“Sister Shini… can’t you hear me? Sister Shini, if you’re safe, please answer! Sister Shini!”
“Shini, can you hear me? Please, if you’re safe, let your father hear your voice, show me your face, Shini.”
Suddenly hearing these calls, we all abruptly sat up from the bed.
“What? What was that…?”
“Was that a telepathic message? …But there’s no one near the mansion…”
Yes, suddenly, we heard a voice calling out to Shini.
But this wasn’t a telepathic message in the head.
Rather…
“Look, Shini! Look, under your discarded panties… something’s glowing!”
Following Divias’s words, we all looked toward the floor.
Underneath Shini’s scattered orange panties was a glow…
“What? Oh, just when I’m one with Jar-kun… huh? This… oh, it’s the charm Ta-kun gave me.”
There lay a pendant. No, it was…
“A magical item… Pairing Call… A magic stone is split into two and crafted so that those holding its counterparts can see each other’s images and talk, even far apart…”
“Hmm, just as Jar-kun said… but, Shini, you had such a thing?”
“Eh?! Really? Ta-kun gave me that… I didn’t know.”
Which means the voice we heard earlier… and since we heard it, it implies…
“Wait, isn’t this bad? If I recall correctly, this item doesn’t connect if the distance is too great, like across seas or continents… But it works if we’re on the ‘same continent.'”
“Eh?! Then, the voice just now was Ta-kun’s and Dad’s… so that means…”
“Yes. They might have stepped onto this continent, perhaps having gotten information from Fate, the star general.”
Fate, you’ve done well!
Now, a glimmer of hope is visible.
“Eh, does that mean our moms and dads too?”
“No way?”
“…This is getting troublesome.”
And while they anticipated this would happen someday, the speed at which it occurred was unexpected to the girls, evident in their troubled faces.
Good… slowly but surely―――
“Hmm… well, whatever! Let’s show them my cheerful self.♪”
“Whoa, hey, wait, before you do that, first, get away from me―――”
However, the optimistic Shini, still naked and in such a state with me, was about to use the Pairing Call―――
