Chapter 1099 – Afterword ─ Where Does the Born Baby Go?
At a time when the young princess had forgotten the truth that she had given birth to a demon god.
Ceres, who served Venus Holympia, who was the only god and became emperor, suddenly opened her eyes and raised her upper body when she heard the sound of lightning.
“… Your Majesty?”
Ceres was purely embarrassed.
‘A magical power I’ve never felt before…’
Ceres, who instinctively realized that something was wrong, quickly stood up, made a scythe in both hands, and grabbed it.
‘Your Majesty took the medicine given by Empress Agrippa today and slept deeply…’
Unpleasant and sinister magic was emanating from Venus’ bed.
Ceres felt so uncomfortable from the mana in the air that her chest and heart ached, and she bit her lip once and threw herself into the shadows, not even wearing her underwear, let alone her maid uniform.
“Your Majesty!”
Ceres emerged from the shadows, skillfully holding his scythe and preparing to defeat the enemy in front of him.
“Welcome.”
Unlike the ominous and unpleasant Mana that filled the room, Venus’ expression was relaxed as she looked at Ceres who appeared from the shadows.
It was so relaxed that it felt like Ceres, who appeared naked, was actually making a fuss.
“Your Majesty! Are you okay? This room is incredibly unpleasant and creepy…”
Ceres swallowed his words and quietly looked at Venus while holding his scythe.
The woman who was also her only god was showing off her breasts. But the reason Ceres was embarrassed lay elsewhere.
“That baby…”
“It may be ironic, but I have to say it this way. The Demon God’s childhood is over.”
In Venus’ arms, there was a newborn baby with ‘horns’ sprouting. The baby, carefully wrapped in a golden swaddle, was sucking on the nipple in front of her while waving her hand in the air.
“Your Majesty…”
“Ceres. It is what you think about.”
“Are you holding the demon spirit in your arms?”
Despite Ceres’ words full of worry, Venus nods her head without changing her expression.
“How could the demon god… Clearly be in Al…”
“What meaning does an egg have to a being who is endlessly resurrected? What meaning does time have to a being who can grant any wish?”
“But there is something that is necessary for a baby to be born.”
“The necessary work was done in a world that even I cannot easily recognize, so don’t worry.”
Venus, holding the demon god in her arms, looked down at the newborn baby, who had grown horns, with eyes full of love.
“Don’t worry. He’s a surprisingly young baby, isn’t he?”
“But in the end, that baby is a demon god. He is worshiped by countless demons, and many people think that the demon god is the savior who will end their lives underground.”
As Ceres spoke strongly, Venus smiled.
“Didn’t Ceres always tell me?”
“Your Majesty! This is not a situation that can be brushed aside with such good old stories.”
With an expression full of concern, Ceres returns his scythe to the void and approaches Venus.
“For the demon race, the faith in the demon god… Is more than what your majesty thinks.”
“I know.”
“Do you really know? The day of wishful thinking that will surely come. The day of mortality promised by the Great Mother. It is proof that we can return to the promised land!”
Venus smiles, looks at the demon who is sucking milk without even crying, and then makes eye contact with Ceres.
“Didn’t you say that to be born evil and do good is greater than anything else?”
“It applies to beings who have the will to do good.”
“Why do you judge that demons will not do good? Isn’t that an unknown thing?”
“Your Majesty’s plan… Failed. The story was to show the good in the human world and to let people know that it should not be destroyed by destroying this world. The child was born before prenatal education.”
Venus laughed. What Ceres said is correct. The idea of providing good prenatal education failed spectacularly.
How can a baby suddenly born in a world without a mother receive prenatal care?
“Wouldn’t a child born and educated by a good mother ultimately become a good child?”
“… Do you plan to give your love until the end, Your Majesty?”
Venus nodded his head.
“I understand. If that is your Majesty’s will…”
Ceres did not give up. It was decided to accept Venus’ noble will. So he took a deep breath and slowly approached the demon.
“Your Majesty. Breastfeeding is…”
“Don’t worry.”
“As expected, is it just sucking Your Majesty’s breasts?”
“No, it means there is no time to worry.”
Unfortunately, Ceres could not immediately understand Venus’ serious words.

“… Are you kidding me?”
Arisa rubbed her face with both hands and covered her mouth with her hands.
“Something strange and strange always happens with your Majesty, but this is truly unexpected.”
“Are you saying that you will raise Minos and the Demon God together, Venus?!”
Next to Hedone, who was just amazed, Arisa told a very realistic story.
“Don’t worry. Don’t they say that a child grows up in the blink of an eye?”
“Venus!!! You! Do you know what kind of bean sprouts children are? If you sprinkle water on them and close their eyes, they don’t grow!”
Hedone let out a very small laugh, took one look at Minos, who was holding her in her chest, and looked down at her demon.
“Don’t worry, Arisa. I will raise everyone with love.”
“No, no… No… This isn’t a matter of love?”
Arisa spoke as she spoke, rubbing her face with her hand and slapping the thigh of Deanna, who was sitting next to her.
“Say something! Diana!”
“Ayaaa…! Why are you hitting my thighs?! And now… My head hurts because of this demon’s incredible power? It’s throbbing.”
Diana looks at her Venus while stroking her thighs with her hands.
“It’s not like Minos is in danger, Venus.”
“Everyone, don’t worry. Even though it’s a demon, it’s not a vicious Chihuahua that destroys everything in front of it.”
“I feel a magical power in this tiny newborn baby’s body that cannot be matched even if I were to increase my size to hundreds. Are you comparing me to a Chihuahua or something?”
Sitting next to the scared Diana was Grace, who listened to her whole story and remained silent.
“Saint Grace, please say something too.”
At Arisa’s words, Grace finally smiled strangely.
“I don’t think you need to worry right now.”
“Hey, Saint? You know that she gets 100 times more anxious when you say there’s no problem ‘for now’, right? You know that, but now you’re making such a prediction…!”
Unlike Arisa, who was on the verge of drowning from anxiety, Grace and Venus were full of leisure.
“Isn’t there nothing we can do about it? It seems like there’s nothing we can do, which is worthy of being called ordinary compared to Your Majesty.”
Hestia, who patted Arisa on the back and spoke to her, was as expected radiating an older woman’s composure.
“This is such a problem…”
“Because it’s such a problem, it’s good to take it easy, Miss Arisa. It’s a nice picnic day at the Academy. Is there anything you can do if you know it’s going to rain?”
“… It’s not a story to compare to the rainy season.”
“But it’s the same as the rainy season. Isn’t what we can do to guide this cute demon god who has already been born to the right path?”
Hestia smiled and slowly picked up the demon wrapped in her golden swaddle and brought it to her chest.
“It is a path created by His Majesty, not someone else. I don’t want to be suspicious.”
“It’s not something that can end with such a heartwarming story…”
The genius wizard put aside his continuing agony for a moment. It was a moment when she had to accept that there was nothing she could do but believe in Venus.
“Ah, Joo…!”
At a moment when such warmth was overflowing, the demon god brought her small hand to Hestia and let out her cooing words.
“Oh, look. He’s muttering cutely, right? Right now, he’s just a cute baby.”
“… Sounds like a clear word?”
Arisa looked down at her demon spirit with an expression of uncertainty.
“Maa.!”
“Ma? Did you mean to say magic power or mana?”
“I shouldn’t have combined it with what I mumbled earlier.”
Diana said her words and looked around.
“Uh, Venus’ senior? Where has he gone?”
“You can no longer receive the demon’s thoughts directly, so you are taking a break right now.”
At Hedone’s explanation, Diana turned her head to the demon again.
“Then I guess I can’t understand what you’re babbling about now? Hasn’t the level of difficulty actually increased?”
“Ah hu! Ah, hu…”
Hestia laughed at the demon’s cute murmur.
“Look, Miss Arisa. She’s just a cute baby, right?”
“Azuma!”
The Demon God laughed and pointed at Hestia with her hand, and finally formed a word and spat it out.
“… Yes?”
“Ji, are you just calling Queen Hestia her aunt?”
While Diana was startled, the demon moved her hand and pointed at Arisa.
“W-What… Venus is a newborn baby!! Where is this baby?!”
“Barber…!”
“What?!”
Arisa rubbed her cheeks with both hands to cool down the heat on her face.
Haha! Didn’t I tell you that you don’t have to worry about breastfeeding?”
“Bobber! Rice! Mopar!”
Arisa eventually sat back on her chair as she watched the baby pointing around her with her finger and spouting curses.
“How do you educate a baby who says ‘pervert’ as soon as he is born, not his mother or father, but an idiot? Does this make sense?”
Arisa was already covering her head because she could clearly see the ridiculous things that her young demon god would do.
“They say we’re going to be destroyed! This…!!!”
