𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟕𝟑: 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧
“Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.”
I hum a tune as I roll the kitchen wagon.
Today’s snack is milk and orange jelly. The milk jelly I have made so far had fruits inside, like milk agar with oranges.
But this time, I placed crushed orange jelly on top of the milk jelly.
I devised it so that you can enjoy two different textures and flavors.
Migi-san and Hidari-san liked it, and I think Demon King-sama will be pleased too.
Tyran-san seems to be unable to leave the kettle all day today, so I can’t directly confirm his reaction. But I can ask for his feedback later.
If they like it, I’ll try making it with other fruits.
Using several types of fruits would be good, or maybe changing the milk jelly part to something else.
Just thinking about the combinations makes my cheeks naturally loosen.
“Demon King-sama, it’s snack time~.”
I call out to Demon King-sama, who I assume is waiting on the throne, as I open the door.
But I unintentionally freeze at the sight that unfolds before me.
“Dairy, you finally came!”
“Um, what is this exactly…?”
The carpet that has been there since I first came, the table set prepared for snack time, and all the decorations are gone. Only the throne and the surrounding carpet remain.
There was definitely something here yesterday…
What on earth happened?
As I blink my eyes, Demon King-sama comes running down the stairs with quick steps.
“Surprised? Today is the annual ‘King’s Chamber Cleaning Day’!”
“King’s Chamber Cleaning Day?”
“Normally, I use preservation magic, but once a year, I clean and wash everything.”
“I see.”
It’s like the year-end cleaning in my previous life.
Even in the human realm of this life, cleaning had started a little before the new year. It seems there was a similar culture in the Demon Realm, although the timing is quite awkward.
According to Demon King-sama, the floor cleaning was finished in the morning, and now they are washing the carpets and decorations.
He tells me this as he munches on the jelly.
“After everything is done, I will use my preservation magic again.”
“I see.”
“By the way, this jelly, I’ve never seen it before?”
“I intentionally crushed it before it completely solidified to give it a different texture from the others.”
“It’s delicious. I want to eat this again tomorrow.”
“Really?! Actually, I was thinking of making a few more variations.”
“That sounds exciting!”
Demon King-sama, who really liked the crushed jelly, reaches for a second cup.
At that moment, something came to my mind.
“By the way, are you not cleaning the throne and its surroundings?”
Only the throne and its surroundings are left untouched.
Perhaps they couldn’t collect them, so they left them as they were. But it feels strange that only this area remains with various things.
“I left it because I wanted to do it together with Dairy!”
“Together with me?”
“I remembered that Metitour told me that you and she cleaned together before!”
It seems Meti-chan enjoyed wiping the windows.
Demon King-sama brought the cloth she used and demonstrated it in front of him.
“I borrowed the cloth from Metitour! But I’ve never cleaned before. I don’t really understand the human way either. That’s why I was waiting for Dairy!”
“If that’s the case, I’ll go get cleaning tools too.”
“If it’s a cloth, I have two properly.”
He shows me one cloth on each side as if to demonstrate. I wonder where he took them out from.
As he declared that he borrowed them from Meti-chan, her name is written on the edge. Gweil-san probably wrote it so that it wouldn’t get mixed up with other things.
It’s heartwarming to see that Meti-chan and Demon King-sama have such a relationship of borrowing and lending cloths.
Before I and Tyran-san came, they didn’t have much interaction as the Demon King and Gweil-san’s granddaughter. But it’s a good thing that they get along well.
With warm feelings, I smile at Demon King-sama.
“If you’re going to clean the surroundings, you’ll need a broom and dustpan, and also a bucket.”
“Hmm, there are various preparations for human cleaning.”
“Well then, I’ll go get them.”
Leaving Demon King-sama, who is still in the middle of the snack, I go to find Ciel-san.
Then, it seems she had already heard the conversation. She was waiting with a complete cleaning set.
“Dairy-sama, please use this.”
“Thank you!”
I return, carrying those items.
The kitchen wagon has already been collected, and it seems that Demon King-sama will start cleaning right away.
