The War Hero Raises a Demon Slave - Chapter 92
92 – A war hero raises a demon wife (3)
Felay, the hotel manager of the Blue Dragon’s Tomb, climbed the hill sweating hard.
This is because the coordinates of the portal were slightly wrong and the exit opened at the bottom of the hill.
Daham is mild and somewhat hot, unlike Berabce in the northern part of the continent.
I couldn’t adapt to the climate, and I couldn’t help but sweat as I had to climb the hill.
Her destination is the restaurant at the top of the hill she climbs.
That is probably Einer and Ael’s restaurant.
The sunlight was stinging, but the wind blowing from the vast Southern Ocean was still cool.
A bustling, lively dock and hundreds of ships floating in the offshore waters that sparkle like fish scales in the sunlight.
It is truly a place worthy of its nickname, the pearl of the southern part of the continent.
As I continued to climb the hill, I heard the sound of children laughing from above.
A number of small children were jumping down, cackling, as if they were playing tag with each other.
One of the girls had horns on her head.
“And then I fall.”
As Fellay spoke, the children slowly stopped walking and pointed their fingers at Fellay’s head.
“That sister also has horns on her head!”
“So, are you your aunt?”
In response to the children’s questions, the demon child with horns on his head shook his head.
“I don’t have any aunts other than Aunt Lamia. Who are you?”
“Is this person named Ael your mother?”
“How do you know my mother’s name? Who is she?”
“Mom’s friend. Are you home now?”
“I went to school.”
“School…? Why do you go to school?”
But her children had already lost their attention on her pelay and ran past her and down below her.
What school are you going to?
Felay diligently climbed the hill and arrived at the restaurant.
The restaurant in front of the restaurant with a romantic sign reading ‘Wind of the Hill’ was crowded with customers.
The incredibly fragrant and delicious smell coming from inside makes it likely that there will be many customers.
“I’ll pass by.”
Felay pushed past the people and entered the restaurant.
The inside of the restaurant, which was expanded into the side yard by tearing down the wall, is also full of people.
Amid the chaos, several employees were busy serving food.
In the kitchen, a red-haired woman is cooking with an indifferent expression.
When Felei saw the woman, he immediately recognized that it was a half-human, half-dead monster called Lamia.
“Welcome! Are you here alone?”
One of her employees came over and greeted her warmly.
After thinking about it for a while, Pelei decided that if he was going to give business advice anyway, it would be a good idea to taste the menu first.
“Yes, I’m alone. I don’t mind sharing seats.”
Soon, Pelei was sitting at a table with people he had never seen before.
The menu here is just pork belly.
It looks like he’s still doing what Ael said a long time ago.
“One serving of pork belly.”
After finishing ordering, Fellay closely observed the red-haired Lamia in the kitchen.
A large iron square shovel loaded with pork belly and vegetables goes straight to the oven.
Well-cooked pork belly comes out in just a few seconds.
This is my first time seeing it cooked that way.
As I was looking at it, I heard a song coming from somewhere.
Did they hire professional musicians like hotels do?
The scale is too small for that.
But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t see anyone singing.
However, as a demon that can sense and communicate with demons, Felei soon identified the source of the sound.
The large purple flower by the window was swaying and singing.
Cantavera… ? Why is that here? And such a beautiful song?
Felay, who worked at the Demon King’s Castle, knows Cantavera well.
Except for demons, it was used as a weapon because it sang a deadly song that put those who heard it to sleep.
Seeing so many people singing harmless songs in a place like this, I guess I quite liked this place.
Lamia Cantavera, this place is also quite unique.
The pork belly was very, very good.
It creates a fantastic taste when combined with side dishes from the Far East, so I think it would be a good idea for hotels to benchmark it as well.
They were running such a great restaurant.
While we were eating in admiration, the door opened and a woman with horns like a Felei came in.
However, even though they were of the same demon race, that woman was very different from Felei.
First of all, she was short and her breasts were enormous.
Her lovely, plump thighs and buttocks and her cute little face.
And the biggest difference is the protruding belly.
Are you pregnant?
“Huh? Huh?”
Ael met Pelei’s eyes and her eyes widened.
“Mr. Pelay?”
“Hello, Ael.”
Ael waddled over to her with a welcoming smile.
“She met the child outside earlier. She said she went to school.”
“Ah, yes. I’ve been going here for a while. It’s because I don’t know how to read. hehehehe.”
“Yes, that’s amazing. You’re pregnant. What about Einer?”
“My brother will come later. Mr. Fellay said he would come today and only work in the morning and then leave work.”
My brother. Has the name changed like that already?
It’s cute.
* * * * *
After all the lunch guests had left.
While the staff was cleaning the hall, Ael introduced Lamia and Cantavera to Fellay.
Lamia greeted with an indifferent expression, and Cantavera grumbled that another b*tch with horns had come in.
Felei asked with some surprise after seeing Cantavera speak.
“The original Cantavera doesn’t speak that well. Where did you get her?”
“Eh, I heard from my brother that it was brought from the desert somewhere. I don’t really know either.”
“It must have been contraband. Is it something special?”
“Maybe so. She’s so cocky that hearing her say that would make her head explode.”
“Haaah?! You’re singing without pay?!”
“That’s my reward for saving you.”
Cantavera kept her mouth shut, wondering if that was true.
“Mr. Pelay is here.”
At that time, Aner had just come home from work.
“Hello, Mr. Einer. The restaurant is really cozy and pretty.”
“Thank you for your hard work in coming this far.”
The reason Fellay came here directly was because of Einor’s request.
The restaurant was doing so well that Einer and Ael were thinking of opening a separate branch in a larger building downtown.
However, both of us have such experience and neither of us have the courage to deal with companies that provide related consulting.
Consulting companies are incredibly good at sniffing out scammers, so if they seem even the slightest bit immature, they immediately kick you in the face.
So, Einor sent a letter to the Blue Dragon’s Tomb Hotel asking for advice, and Felei came in response.
Pelei immediately began his mission.
First, he went with Inner and Ael to see the building they were considering to open a branch.
It is a one-story building with a very spacious interior. It originally offered dance classes for housewives in the city, but it was abandoned and left vacant after an inappropriate relationship between the students and the instructor occurred.
Felay carefully considered the surrounding location, transportation network, and the condition and rent of the building itself.
“It’s not bad. It’s okay. However, if you want to change the internal structure to a restaurant, you’ll have to spend money. But that’s money that has to be spent unconditionally, so it can’t be helped.”
After returning to the restaurant, Pelei asked for his ledgers from the past few years.
While looking through the ledger, Felei asked Einer and Ael various questions.
Where is food supplied from, what is the salary of the employees, what exactly does Lamia do, how much is Einer’s security guard salary and is he expected to be promoted, what is the retirement age, etc.
After going through several thick ledgers in just an hour, Fellay soon began to quickly write down something on paper.
It was a kind of capital flow chart, a formula that allowed Aner and Ael to branch out as efficiently as possible by utilizing liabilities such as loans based on the total assets currently held by Aner and Ael and the assets expected for the future.
“If you do this, you can save about five hundred gold coins. Mr. Einer is a civil servant here, so there won’t be a big problem with the loan, right?”
“But do I really need to take out a loan? It’s not like I’m short on cash.”
“Of course you have to get a loan. Loans aren’t a bad thing. It’s a kind of engine that allows you to make more money by paying very low interest rates.”
“An engine? What is that?”
“It’s a word used by dwarves, but to put it simply, it’s a driving force. Anyway.”
Afterwards, Fellay calculated the amount of food ingredients needed by roughly estimating the number of daily customers based on the appropriate number of employees needed for the size of the restaurant we saw earlier, the type of kitchen equipment, and the surrounding location.
He is Pele, who worked in two places: the Military Management Office, which is the core department of the world’s strongest Demon King Army, which operated dozens of legions, and the Secretariat of the Demon King Castle, where only the brightest of the talented can enter.
Furthermore, for Fellay, who already had experience opening hotel branches in several parts of the continent, opening a restaurant branch was an easier task than lying down and eating cold soup.
If it were not a different country but a branch of the same administrative authority, I would have said everything.
“It’s really amazing….”
Einer was amazed at what Fellay had written.
“It’s not difficult. If Einer and ALC continue to manage, they will gain experience and will be able to do things like this easily.”
Einor and Ael looked at it and asked Fellay questions.
Ael, who is said to be going to school, seems to be able to read the letters quite well now, so he points to each letter with his finger and asks questions in a muttered manner.
As we exchanged questions and gave advice, time flew by and it was time for dinner.
After seeing the sun set, Fellay stood up.
“I guess I should go back now.”
“Already? Please go after dinner.”
“Thank you, but I’ll decline. Actually, it’s difficult to leave the hotel for more than half a day.”
Then Ael looked regretful.
“I guess it’s because it’s so big.”
“Once the branch is stabilized, please be sure to visit the hotel. The CEO is very interested.”
“Eh? To us?”
“Like Mr. Einer, the CEO started from scratch while doing a completely unrelated job. I guess it reminds you of the old days.”
Felei went out the door, took out a scroll from his bag, tore it up, and the portal opened.
“Then I wish you both good luck. May your business prosper.”
“Goodbye, Mr. Fellay. Thank you for coming in person today.”
Felay slightly bowed his head and crossed the portal.
As the dimension door closed, Ael hugged Aner’s waist and made her sigh.
“Oppa. Can we do well?”
Aenor answered, wrapping his arms around Ael’s shoulders.
“You can do it. Don’t worry. If you do what Mr. Fellay tells you, you will definitely succeed.”

“I guess so? hehehe. I’m so glad Mr. Fellay came.”
“Mom! Dad!”
Their daughter Iris came running from the bottom of the hill with the setting sun behind her, waving her arms.
A cute face similar to Ael, and cute horns on her head.
On the other hand, her physical condition appears to be just like that of Aine, and it is not unusual for her limbs to be stretched out comfortably.
“aaah!”
Iris ran screaming and jumped a few meters and fell into Einer’s arms.
It is truly unusual.
“Ugh! It’s heavy. Where did it go?”
“I came out to play with my friends. But did I see someone with horns on his head just like my mom?”
“I’m a friend of Mom and Dad. I’m here to help open a new restaurant.”
“Huh? Really? Are you a great person?”
“He’s a great person. But he’s not as great as my mom.”
Einor, holding Iris in one arm, pulled Ael in with her other arm.
“Why aren’t you better than your mom?”
“That’s because mom is the best to dad.”
“Better than the Great Shell?”
“It’s obvious.”
“Then what about me?”
“You are second.”
“When did they say it was the first time!”
“She only does that when mom isn’t around.”
At those words, Ael burst out laughing and caressed her bulging belly.
“If the younger brother comes out, won’t Iris be the third?”
“Ugh! No! Tell your brother not to come out!”
“It’s okay. Iris is always first to my aunt.”
When Lamia came out after hearing her commotion and smiled faintly, Iris got down from Aner’s arms and hugged Lamia’s waist.
Seeing the humans, demons, monsters, and mixed-blood demons relying on each other, the cantavera at the window began to sway and sing.
The bright sun rises again in the sunset
When the stars shine brightly on us
When the love I longed for comes back to me
Will my heart be able to smile then?
What doesn’t change even as time passes
My heart toward you
This little happiness I hold in my hand
And our story continues
A warm wind blows
If you embrace the wishes in the sky
When the love I’ve been waiting for comes back to me
Will my heart be able to smile then?
The long night passes by
When the bird of dawn wakes us up
If the love I dreamed of comes back to me
Will my heart be able to smile then?
The most precious thing in this world
This moment with you
This little happiness I hold in my hands
And our story continues
The most beautiful thing in this world
Your smile and your eyes
This little happiness I hold in my hand
And our story continues
The end.
