The Daily Life of the Demon King

Chapter 37 - 37: A New Family Member and the Demon King’s Attack

Teleporting to the entrance of the house, Alex looked at Haruhime, who was still in shock. Smiling, he beckoned her to follow him. Seeing that Haruhime decided to follow, Alex grabbed the doorknob and turned it, intending to enter the house. However, before he could take his first step inside, he was nearly knocked over by a black-haired rocket that began to shake him. The shaking was so intense that various items for his dubious activities started falling out of Alex's pockets. Everyone watching Hestia shake Alex and seeing the items fall out of his pockets widened their eyes in disbelief. Alex realized that items were falling from his pockets and crookedly smiled, understanding he had been exposed.

Because all attention was on Hestia shaking Alex, no one noticed the new guest following behind him. Trying once again to get Hestia off him, Alex decided to try a different approach. Instead of using force, he opted for a gentler method: he gently took Hestia's cheeks and kissed her on the nose. Hestia's face turned red, and she stopped shaking Alex, looking at him with a flushed face.

"I see you've calmed down. What happened this time that made you start shaking me? Or is this a tradition now?" Alex asked, looking at Hestia, who continued to cling to him.

"Where did you go after you sent me home?" asked a blushing Hestia, not wanting to let go of Alex.

"I distracted them and then teleported to a random place," Alex said with a crooked smile.

"Couldn't you have just teleported with me right away?" asked Hephaestus, sitting on the couch. Hearing her words, Alex looked a bit embarrassed.

"Would you believe me if I said I just wanted to test the range of my mana blade?" Alex said with a crooked smile. Everyone listening nodded, understanding that he had once again done something foolish.

"Alright, so you figured out how far your mana blade goes, or whatever you call it. Now tell me, why were you gone for so long?" Hestia asked, wanting more details.

"How should I put this? I ended up in a place," Alex said, reluctant to answer.

"Can you stop talking in riddles? Just say it straight!" Lili said in an irritated tone. Alex looked at Lili and wanted to smack her for that. Couldn't she just drop the subject? Noticing Alex's stern look, Lili felt threatened and covered her behind. Everyone stared at Alex, who didn't want to answer. Under so many gazes, Alex couldn't hold out any longer and decided to tell them where he ended up.

"I ended up in a brothel," Alex said in an even tone.

"WHERE?" everyone shouted, hearing his words.

"I said, I accidentally ended up in a brothel," Alex repeated, trying to stop Hestia from shaking him again.

"What were you doing there? Confess quickly!" Hestia shouted, trying to break free from Alex's grasp.

"I didn't do anything there. I just waited for a while until the goddesses stopped

"I won't say much, just know this is retribution for what you did in your childhood," Alex said, and at his words, the scoundrel's eyes widened as he remembered his actions. "Who would have thought that all of this was motivated by jealousy of Haruhime, who became friends with Takemikazuchi's children. Jealousy is a dangerous emotion. But everything has consequences, and now you will face them."

Alex clenched Haruhime's younger brother's jaw, causing him severe pain.

"You see, I originally wanted to drop a meteor on your pathetic house, but my goddess is too kind. So I decided to punish only the two responsible for Haruhime's sad fate," Alex said, squeezing the jaw so that a crunch was heard. The scoundrel began to struggle, trying to escape the pain.

"I'm short on time, and my family might notice my absence, so I'll make this quick," Alex said, using a spell that slowly broke every bone in the scoundrel's body.

Feeling the pain from all his bones breaking, Haruhime's younger brother lost consciousness, bleeding heavily.

Alex smiled, satisfied that he had vented all his rage, and teleported home. He lay down on his bed and fell asleep with a slight smile on his face.
