Demon King Sister's Surprise Visit
The Demon King sister who boldly stepped into my territory was a charismatic girl with long black hair and flashing red eyes. She looked about eight years old, with sturdy horns sprouting from her head. What the hell? What was going on? I flailed my tentacles in panic. Why was she so calm? If she'd been one of the village kids, she'd have pissed herself by now. I'm a tentacle monster! Rawr!
"Hmph."
But the girl spotted me and gave a pleased smile. For a second, I thought she was the goddess. No, not that I was getting that vibe from a little girl. I just wondered if Premium had appeared in that form.
"Sorry for dropping in unannounced."
Who are you? The black-haired girl addressed me in that cute childish lilt. I was so shocked by the whole situation that I'd even forgotten Praga was inside me. Was I screwed?
"Huh? You can talk, right...?"
Talk? I can't do that.
"Ah. I can hear you a little."
'Hear me?' I said through my Tentacle Sense. It was super convenient—no need for actual sound, just transmitting my will in a second flat. But until now, it had only worked on other tentacle monsters.
"Oh."
Her cool black horns perked up like antennae, and she tilted her chin up, murmuring in admiration. "I heard you. Loud and clear. Quite bold and handsome voice."
Hahat. Bold and handsome voice, huh~? I got a little cocky. Embarrassed, I scratched at my body with a tentacle.
"Let me introduce myself first. I'm Eskalia. The Demon King."
'Demon King?'
Demon King? No matter how I chewed on it, that self-introduction just raised questions. Cool name, though.
"You can call me Kalia, brother."
'Brother? Why the hell are you my sister?' I shook my tentacles to convey my point. Too late, I realized body language was pointless here. ...This was my first real conversation in this body.
"What, you didn't know? We're siblings—both born from the same goddess as our mother!"
......Same goddess.
'Premium?'
"That's right!"
Eskalia flashed a cute smile. "I haven't been around long either, but I was born first, so I'm your big sis. Or should I say unnie?"
'I'm a dude.'
"Then it's big sis!"
......This tiny little girl was my big sis? Technically, I was a newborn too, but still. I had no clue how to react to this black-haired, red-eyed beauty suddenly claiming sisterhood.
"Can't believe it?"
'Would you?'
"Your big sis came to say hi first, and that's your attitude? A bit cheeky."
I flinched. What was that? I felt a wave of mana ripple through my skin, making it tingle.
"You're my only little brother, so I'll forgive you."
'......'
Should I be grateful? I'd been threatened without realizing it, then forgiven—my head was spinning. But no kid wanders into a forest alone spouting nonsense like that...
'Half-believing, half-doubting.'
I figured I'd give it a shot.
"You've already snagged one piece of prey."
'Not sharing.' I sprouted ten tentacles to guard my front.
"As if I'd touch my little brother's hunt. No, I came bearing gifts."
'Gifts?'
"Come out."
Eskalia muttered without looking back, and goblins and orcs pushed through the underbrush. There were... a lot. Enough muscled orcs—big enough to toss her tiny frame around like a ball—that numbered at least thirty.
"What do you think? Pretty impressive for big sis, right? Soon as I was born, I added all the local monsters to my army."
'You... Eskalia just got born too?'
"Yep. Embarrassing, but I'm still a ways off from truly earning the title Demon King."
......Got it. We were both still kids. She looked immature at a glance anyway.
'She'll grow into a total bombshell.' Even now, her features promised it. I could already picture her as a jaw-dropping beauty.
"So I've got my own path to blaze. Can't stick around to babysit."
......With that orc horde, flattening a village would be a breeze. But were we close enough for her to dump her problems on me? Nah. More than that, her ruby-like eyes sparkled with expectation toward me.
"Little bro! You can handle it, right?"
'...Uh, probably?'
"No enthusiasm?"
'I can do it! Already got one motherboard locked down...!'
"Mm, good."
Eskalia glanced back, and two ugly goblins and one buff orc stepped forward. "These guys are young but full of potential and smarts. Raise 'em."
'Eh?' Not really feeling it. Sudden family expansion felt iffy.
"Hm? Worried about something?"
'They look like the type who'd chase girls.'
"Girls? Of course they like 'em."
'Not for sale.' Praga's mine. No way I'd let 'em even taste.
Shoo. Shoo.
Eskalia giggled. "Don't worry. These aren't your run-of-the-mill orcs and goblins. They're my loyal servants, under Eskalia's command."
'Speak plainly, for fuck's sake.'
"Means you can make 'em follow you as their new master."
Hmm. Extra hands wouldn't hurt. I wasn't in a position to turn down help.
'She's so eager to do something nice.'
I didn't want to reject her goodwill. Demon King or whatever sounded like bullshit, but she clearly had real power. I'd trust it. If she'd wanted me dead, I'd be goo already. I just hoped she wasn't the type to bullshit. Demon horns, so yeah—demon, right?
'Thanks, Eskalia.'
"You'll see soon enough. The ocean-deep love of Demon King Eskalia."
Nyenyenye. Kid talks big.
"...Having cheeky thoughts, are we?"
I flinched. 'Take care, sis.'
"Hmph."
Eskalia stepped right up and patted my main body. "What should I call you?"
'Chokgoe. Just Chokgoe.'
"Chokgoe... Hm, nice. Chokgoe, next time let's meet all grown up."
Eskalia left, leaving behind the buff orc and two goblins. The vibe was super awkward.
'How do we even communicate?'
I tried shaking a tentacle.
"Chruk?"
"Kek?"
Body language wasn't working. 'Hi.'
Huh? They reacted to my Tentacle Sense too. Had to admit, her monsters were special.
'I'm your new master.'
Let's see how they took it. The goblins prostrated flat; the orc dropped to one knee. Good listeners. At first, the extra baggage annoyed me, but seeing them bow like this? Kinda cocky now.
But.
More family meant more mouths to feed. Especially since I had zero intention of sharing my girl—prime motherboard candidate—with anyone.
Couldn't drop my guard. Nothing's 100% safe. Time to put 'em to use, test their worth.
'First orders.'
I gave each a different errand: fetch water, gather fruit, scout the area. They moved out instantly.
An hour later, plenty of water and food piled up before me. The orc used a big leaf as a bucket.
'Good job.'
"Kiek!"
"Chruk!"
'You there...' All three looked at me. Hmm. Names first.
I named the identical goblin bros Bog and Gog.
'Bow guy is Gog, sword guy's Bog.'
The orc snorted excitedly at his turn. 'You're Younghee.'
"Churuk! Yeoongheee."
Yeah, Younghee. He seemed pleased. I sent the bros and Younghee hunting—grab any beast nearby. They were armed anyway.
I watched them fight via Tentacle Sense.
'They fight well.'
Bog was clever, knew to use big Younghee. Always grabbing the high ground—impressive footwork. Gog moved stealthy, staying hidden. Teamwork had beast corpses stacking in the yard within hours.
Younghee's fists outdid his axe. Insane strength, tough hide, patient too.
'Good job.'
"Keeei."
"Chruk chruk."
Maybe better than I thought? 'Hm?'
A woman's voice from afar. Me, tentacle monster? I never miss a female voice.
Tentacle Sense extends range when focused, so... young woman on my radar. Searching for me?
'Next hunt's big. Gear up.'
"Kiik!" "Kek!" "Chuk!"
I marked good spots, planned the ambush.
Next morning, close enough to see faces, I couldn't hide my surprise.
'It's Tia?'
Fate. Reuniting so soon with the woman who raised me. The guy with her bugged me a bit, but his female partner was hot too.
'Overheard their chat... name's Beth.'
Beth was a fit fighter with killer legs and a healthy build. Her ponytail swished as she strode powerfully—already winning me over. She acted all tough like her martial arts made her invincible, but at prime breeding age, she screamed "ripe female." Plus... virgin vibes. Tentacle Sense nails that. Mad respect for the guy's superhuman restraint.
Tia left, Beth right—how not to pounce? I eyed Tia's tits. Outrageously perky under her slutty priestess robes, jiggling with each step. Hips that rivaled 'em were killer too. Innocent black bob and face, but that body? Both perfect motherboards!
'Operation start.'
We captured Tia and Beth.
