I was reincarnated into another world and became a witch so I want to live a slow life but the Demon King won't let me go.
[I want to live a slow life, but the Demon King and the Holy Knights keep following me around, and my apprentice is pissed, but it's just everyday life]
Translated by: ME
The three who had awakened didn't seem to understand what had just happened, and they started bombarding me with questions. The Demon Lord, in particular, couldn't tolerate the idea that there was someone above him other than the gods, and he kept repeating muscle-brained statements about wanting to fight somehow. As for Dian, he apparently forcibly digested the idea that the Creator was a higher being who created the gods, so he should be an object of faith. Yuri was just constantly worrying about me.
"...So, that's why you guys are so attached to me, because I'm a reincarnated person with the role of a Tuner. Do you understand?"
I explained that their attachment was a misunderstanding, so they should quickly scatter, but for some reason, everyone had a dumbfounded look on their faces.
"What do you think we are?"
"That's right, Lady Miriam. My feelings are my own. They haven't been influenced by anything."
"Master is Master, no matter what."
It's no use, they don't understand at all.
"If your existence is so special, you shouldn't have time to waste your life in a place like this."
The Demon Lord suddenly approached me.
"If your power is real, then use that power and knowledge for the development of the demon race. I'll make an exception and allow you to become my queen, so hurry up and marry me."
"How did that even happen?"
My eyes almost popped out at the Demon Lord's sudden proposal. Why a queen? Just a little while ago, we were talking about rehiring me as a secretary, weren't we? Being a queen means getting married, so it would be even harder to quit than before, but this is way too forced.
"No, no, a queen is way too far-fetched. You can choose any Demon Lord you want, so decide based on love or something, not ability. Besides, like I said before, my influence is much weaker than it used to be, okay?"
"Are you stupid? I'm saying it because there's no woman better than you."
"I don't want to be called stupid by a stupid person. Say your nonsense after you wake up from a nap. If you're that troubled, I'll go clean up for you sometimes."
"...Seriously."
The Demon Lord, who is usually assertive and strong-willed, somehow sighed deeply as if he was tired, and muttered, "This is going to be a long battle." Does he want to make me a permanent secretary that badly? I need to somehow train a successor.
"Lady Miriam. You are not a witch, but a chosen saint. Let us go to the temple together, sweep away the rotten ones, and start a revolution with me."
"There's no way that's happening."
Dian's idea is even more sudden and radical than the Demon Lord's. Even his way of addressing me has changed. His ideology is too dangerous.
"A saint? I'm a demon, you know? To the church, I'm an enemy, and a revolution isn't my thing."
"Leave the bloody stuff to me. Lady Miriam, you can spend your time as you always have, and I will take care of everything."
"That's too terrifying for me to agree to."
"I've decided to protect you for the rest of my life."
I'm sure there's a better Master than me. It's going to be hard to wake Dian up.
"Master..."
"Yuri."
Yuri is a disciple I raised and is like a younger brother to me. He might be the person I'm most attached to in this world. But, there's no guarantee that my being by his side won't have a negative impact. He's old enough to stand on his own as a human, so maybe this is a good time.
"I'm thinking of leaving this place. You should stay in the village. If you use what I taught you, you should be able to live your whole life without any problems."
"What?! Are you abandoning me??"
"That's not it. It's not like that. You're human, and I'm a demon, our lifespans are too different. I was originally planning to let you go when you became an adult. I never thought I'd be talking about this at this timing. You're almost an adult, right? Think of it as leaving your parents a little early and becoming independent."
"I don't want to."
Yuri, like a spoiled child, clung to me with tears in his eyes. I almost gave in to his appearance, but I steeled my heart and looked away.
"No. There's no point in staying with me like this. I'm going to enjoy a slow life in a new place, so Yuri, you should enjoy your own life."
"I don't want to! I'll stay by Master's side forever. Master is important to me."
"Yuri..."
I cherished him too much. He couldn't leave his parent. Ah, but he's so cute.
"Hey, isn't your attitude too different from when it was my turn?"
"It's different from my turn too."
"...This child is the one I raised, isn't it obvious?"
"So, a kid is a kid. If he's that important to you, I'll use my power to give him the protection of a demon and extend his lifespan, so you can bring him with you. He's too big to be my son, but I'll dote on him."
"I don't need a father like you, and Master isn't a mother."
"No, Yuri. If Lady Miriam is a saint, then you are a person connected to her, so we will welcome you to the temple. If you pray to the gods, you may be able to live as a protected person like me."
"I don't need protection. I don't want to be treated specially."
The two's invitations apparently failed. Or rather, is it okay to just casually give out protection like that?
"This guy is going to be my queen."
"No, she's a saint."
"Master is Master!"
And for some reason, the three of them were once again creating a tense atmosphere, sandwiching me. I want them to stop already.
"If you're going to fight again, I'm going to go somewhere right now, is that okay?"
I could feel a strong power different from magic enveloping my body due to my encounter with Roze, so it seems like I can use magic as much as I want, and I feel like I can do anything right now.
"I think it's possible to go somewhere so far away that you'll never find me again this time."
"W-wait, I'm not thinking of forcing you. I'm going to wait until you decide how you feel."
"That's right! It would be difficult to suddenly change your life, so please live here a little longer and think about it."
"Don't go anywhere!!"
The three of them surrounded me in a flustered manner. Overwhelmed by their intensity, I decided to continue living my current life for the time being.
"What are today's sweets?"
"Your Majesty, it seems to be madeleines today."
"Sounds delicious."
For some reason, the Demon Lord, accompanied by Alms and Tims, was having an elegant tea time in my garden. Are you guys free or something?
"Lady Miriam. There was a delivery request from the town, so I'll put it all together here."
Dian had somehow become my business negotiator, dealing with various places. My influence has weakened, so there's no way my sales channels should be expanding, but for some reason, I'm still popular. I can see his intention to spread my name to the empire, but he works seriously, so it's hard to find fault with him.
"Master, today's share is done."
Yuri's skills have been steadily improving, and he's now able to create many things without my magic. In effect, I only need to lend my knowledge and power a little when developing new products. All I do every day is make sweets and brew tea. It's different from what I imagined, but I'm probably living a slow life, right?
"Are you guys here again? Don't bother Master."
"You're the one who should leave your parents soon, kid."
"That's right. Yuri and the Demon Lord should both release Lady Miriam soon."
"I don't want to be told that by you!!"
The life of being surrounded by the three who are arguing over me for some reason seems like it will continue for a while.
