Everyone’s Summer Cool-Down Routines
Another Qixi has come around, and our married couples are celebrating again.
Here are their little everyday tricks for beating the heat—
[Oliver × Nemo]
This summer had been especially hot.
Nemo poured himself a big glass of iced lemonade and gazed sorrowfully out the window. The weather was great, plenty of sun—perhaps too much. The shrill cry of cicadas pierced the glass, and he didn’t want to stick even half a toe outside. He only wanted to lounge in bed.
The customers clearly felt the same. Oliver opened the shop as usual, and almost no one came. Fair enough; at best they could make the store cool, not pluck the sun from the sky.
By late morning, Oliver chose to close temporarily and, on the way upstairs, made two bowls of fruit shaved ice.
As soon as he reached the bedroom, he saw His Demon King sprawled on the bed in the shape of an “大”. Even Bagelmaurus was unusually quiet, pecking silently at his special bird feed.
“Is it really that hot in here?” Oliver tapped Nemo’s toes and watched the great Demon King roll from a “大” into a little “卜”.
Nemo rolled across the bed and latched onto Oliver’s arm. “I’m hot in spirit… wait, is that fruit shaved ice?”
“Yes,” Oliver said with a smile. Nemo cheered and quickly scrambled up.
They each took a bowl and toasted it in the dazzling sunlight.
“I suddenly had a brilliant idea that will guarantee you want to go downstairs,” Oliver announced solemnly.
He tapped the frosty rim of his shaved-ice cup with a spoon. The moisture in the air condensed at once into several… several very excited little snow-dogs.
They were pure white, yapping as they bounded onto the bed. Cold tongues licked Nemo’s arms with gusto, and their wagging tails fanned up breezes of cool air.
Nemo scooped one up. Regrettably, it was only Oliver’s magic and not truly alive.
He buried his face in the pup’s snowy belly and let out a long breath. The dog wagged even harder, its chilly nose snuffling at him.
Oliver had guessed right; he did now want to go downstairs to play with them.
A day later the temperature had dropped a little, but the pups hadn’t vanished. Nemo had added a touch of his own magic, and they were happily guarding the shop’s food storeroom.
After all, they were very cute—just a little less cute than Oliver himself, according to Nemo.
…
[Jesse × Adrian]
Jesse had little fondness for summer.
When the weather was cold, he would spend the night in his great-beast form, and Adrian would wrap him in a tight hug. Such a touching gesture! Both would sleep very well that way.
But summer is different, Jesse thought gloomily.
Summer was a state of mind. Even if the bedroom wasn’t hot, Jesse disliked being covered in thick long fur and preferred returning to human form. In that shape he usually slept holding Adrian. Yet Jesse strongly suspected Adrian wasn’t entirely comfortable…though his Knight Commander had never complained.
Of course he could lower his body temperature, but that felt strange. The first time he tried it, Adrian immediately pressed an index finger to his carotid, suspecting he had died without a sound.
Tonight was especially hot. After much thought, Jesse decided not to cling to Adrian in his sleep and to leave him some psychological coolness.
He shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He heard Adrian come off duty and enter the bedroom, heard the rustle of a jacket being removed, the water of him washing up. A few minutes later Adrian lay down as usual, his breath fresh with mint toothpaste.
Jesse resisted the urge to embrace his lover and squeezed his eyes shut.
There was a rustling sound of fabric. Adrian turned over as usual. Finding that Jesse hadn’t snuggled up like he always did, he paused and made the faintest, “Mm.”
A few seconds later, Jesse found himself being hugged. Adrian’s breathing was slow and even. He slept soundly.
“Aren’t you hot?” Jesse asked the next morning, his voice nearly drowned by the cicadas.
Adrian looked at him for a moment. “A little.”
“Then why did you—”
“Your temperature is different. You can’t compare it like that,” Adrian said simply.
Suddenly, Jesse decided summer wasn’t so bad.

Everyone’s Birthday Cakes
Congrats to the couple from “Help” on moving into the Married Zone ☆(/ω＼)
This year’s 520 (May 20) mini-extra: couples celebrate their birthdays! It’s a perfect chance to compile everyone’s birthdays~
[Oliver × Nemo]
Oliver: May 5th
Source: A normal birthday. (Start of Summer, 2018)
Cake: [Caramel Cake]
A delicious caramel cake decorated with gingerbread and mint leaves, topped with little frosting monsters that burst into pretty golden-sugar magic sparklers.
Nemo made it himself. The jam filling changes every year. Usually served with kiwi soda or a refreshing green tea and of course followed by a lovingly prepared feast.
※ Many years later, they stop writing ages on the cake. Compared with ordinary families’ birthdays, this day becomes more like a standing family holiday.
Nemo: November 7th
Source: Per the Light Orphanage’s rules, you choose your own; Nemo picked the day he received his very first book. (Start of Winter, 2018)
Cake: [Cream Cake]
A snow-white cream cake with elegant piping, piled high with fresh blueberries. Using Oliver’s secret house recipe, it creates a light flavor that’s not overly sweet, tasting like airy happiness.
Every year, Oliver carefully watches Nemo’s expression while eating and keeps refining the formula, bringing it closer and closer to perfection.
※ Exclusively for the Demon King. The process is said to be so complex the shop never sells it. It’s the only dessert Jesse can’t mooch. Oliver has recorded each year’s formula with such care it could fill a whole book.
…
[Jesse × Adrian]
Adrian: December 22nd
Source: A normal birthday. Adrian himself wasn’t too sure of the exact date; Jesse dug it up. (Winter Solstice, 2018)
Cake: [Black Forest Cake]
Darker in color, yet it gives the illusion of a sparkle. The sweetness is dialed back, with extra strawberry jam to suit Adrian’s taste.
Jesse’s signature dessert, though he personally finds it not sweet enough. Paired with Adrian’s relaxed brow and content look, the sweetness is just right.
※ The church usually assigns new birthdays to orphans like Adrian, but out of a certain subtle feeling, Jesse still went and found Adrian’s real birthday.
Jesse: December 22nd
Source: Adrian’s birthday. (Winter Solstice, 2018)
Cake: [Yogurt Cheesecake]
A yogurt cheesecake topped with whipped cream, honey, and assorted berries. The look is simple, the flavor rich and satisfying. Given a certain someone’s appetite, Adrian usually makes it two-tier.
Since their birthdays are on the same day, they put the cakes they made for each other together and share them. Adrian once asked, “Why pick the same day?” Jesse, tenderly reply, “I want to cultivate a birthday tradition with my Darling Adri.”
※ But that was only half the reason, Jesse thought. The other half—if “Adrian Cross” had never been born, then “Jesse Dylan” wouldn’t exist either, right?

What to Do When You’re Stuck Together
Suddenly stuck together—what should you do?
A belated Valentine’s Day mini joke (?) story has arrived! Time for some sweet, sticky fluff ☆
[Oliver × Nemo]
When Oliver woke up in the morning, he got out of bed and started making breakfast as usual. But a strange tugging sensation came from his right hand—his right hand was firmly stuck to Nemo’s left.
Their hands were like tightly bonded magnets. They could move together, but no matter how they tried, they couldn’t separate.
As Oliver moved around, a half-asleep Nemo murmured and rubbed his face against Oliver’s wrist.
It felt amazing.
Even though it was extremely odd, Oliver refused to believe it was a curse. He quietly sat on the bedside, waiting for Nemo to wake up naturally.
When the Demon King finally woke up from his lazy sleep, the first thing he saw was Oliver’s face lit up in excitement—the same look as a boy who just found a new toy.
“I’ve never seen a magic like this before, but its power has weakened a bit since earlie so it must be time limited.”
Hugging Oliver’s arm, he stubbornly stayed under the covers. “At this rate, it’ll probably last a day.”
Oliver inhaled. “Guess the shop has to close today.”
He didn’t sound too regretful and even took the chance to kiss the back of Nemo’s hand.
“Too bad I marinated some meat last night. I was going to make that signature barbecue from Landmark Town today…”
Nemo’s ears perked up, and he darted out from under the covers. “Barbecue?”
“Dad always found it troublesome and only made it during festivals.”
Ollie rubbed his nose. “Just a couple days ago, I found the recipe buried in the storage.”
“Now that you mention it, I think I’ve had it before.”
Nemo wiggled his fingers and conjured a pair of robes for both of them.
……
Nemo didn’t remember the time he scared Oliver into tears, but Old Light remembered it vividly. He also knew that the Ramon family’s son was a little scared of Nemo.
Old Light really wanted his child to get along with the Ramons, so he prepared a basket of blueberries and sent Nemo to trade them for some pastries.
The Ramon boy was lively and cute, and little Nemo was well-behaved and polite. Two good kids, if they interacted more, would surely become friends.
Blissfully unaware, Nemo slung the basket over his arm and headed cheerfully to the Ramon house.
“Fresh blueberries, sweet blueberries, sir.”
Nemo found Mr. Ramon and raised the basket with both hands. The blueberries inside were piled high. “I’d like to trade for some pastries—ones that don’t look very good.”
The orphans didn’t care about appearance. As long as it was edible, it was fine.
Mr. Ramon brought out a large plate of cracked chocolate cookies from the kitchen. There weren’t many failed batches today—just enough to fill half the basket.
“That won’t be enough.”
Mr. Ramon called out to Nemo. “Do you like barbecue, little guy? I’m stuck here—go grab a portion from the back kitchen yourself.”
“Blueberries—I remember those.” Oliver, now slicing meat with his free left hand, said, “Sometimes the storage would have fresh ones. But I don’t really recall you… Wait a minute!”
He turned to Nemo in shock. “Don’t tell me it was that time—”
Nemo sheepishly nodded and whisked the sauce with magic at lightning speed.
…Nemo quickly found the back kitchen. The meat on the fire was about to burn, and there was no one around. In a hurry, he took the meat off and placed it in the basket with the pastries.
‘Someone should’ve been watching that fire,’ he thought.
As he had the thought, the flames turned black for an instant before returning to normal. Nemo rubbed his eyes, baffled, chalking it up to a trick of the eye.
Now, he more or less understood what he’d done—
Oliver stared at him with a deeply conflicted look and pinched his fingers.
“I was sneaking fruit from the storage back then,” Oliver recounted in anguish. “When I came back, the meat was gone. I panicked and tried to grill more… but as soon as I left, the fireball followed me.”
“It clung to the hem of my clothes and followed me wherever I went. I was so scared I jumped into a wine barrel in storage and stayed underwater until it went out.”
“Did Mr. Ramon, uh…” Nemo hesitated.
“He nearly turned me into barbecue.” Oliver said gloomily, “That barrel of wine was expensive. But I couldn’t stand the smell and threw up in it.”
“After I crawled out, I ran away crying and drunk, knocked over Dad’s freshly made marinade, and broke his favorite dish set.”
Nemo: “……”
Nemo’s mouth twisted. “…I’m sorry.”
Oliver glanced at their joined hands. “Maybe this is revenge for that barbeque day.”
“Revenge?”
“Fate has decided—you must accompany me in making the perfect barbecue.” Oliver poked Nemo’s nose with his left hand. “Repent for your sins, Your Majesty.”
…This wasn’t their first time cooking together, but it was definitely the messiest.
Holding hands meant they sometimes got distracted, laughing at past mishaps while studying each other’s palms, and neglected the meat on the grill. By day’s end, they hadn’t managed to recreate the nostalgic flavor.
But that’s okay—they still had tomorrow, and the day after, and countless days ahead.
…
[Jesse × Adrian]
“We’re stuck together.” Jesse closed his fingers, rubbing between Adrian’s.
“Mm.” Adrian’s brows twitched slightly.
Jesse pretended not to see. “I heard Oliver and Nemo got stuck too. Since the great Mr. Light didn’t say anything, it’s probably not dangerous… Hey.”
Not only harmless, but actually kinda fun! Adrian rarely held hands with him, always clasping his own hands in prayer. But really, if he wanted to pray, wouldn’t holding Zenni’s hand be better than holding his own?
Adrian lowered his gaze. “So it wasn’t your doing.”
“What? Do you really think I’m that wicked?” Jesse placed his free left hand over his heart like he’d been shot through it.
“You’ve done similar things before.” Adrian sighed.
“…Even if I’m that bad, you should still need proof.” Jesse looked hurt. “My heart’s wounded. You must compensate me—like accompanying me to try that new cherry liqueur cake in town.”
Adrian nodded wearily and sighed again.
And so, on that sunny afternoon, he walked through town hand in hand with Mr. Dylan, hand in hand while buying cake, and hand in hand as they returned home. Jesse not only gripped him tightly but occasionally swung their hands as if announcing to the entire street, “He’s mine.”
When Mr. Dylan almost tipped the cake over for the second time, Adrian had to rescue it and carry it himself.
Back home, the enthusiastic Great Zenni dragged him all around—preparing tea for the cake one minute, fruits to relieve the greasiness the next. Adrian strongly suspected he was simply enjoying the situation.
By evening, they finally sat shoulder to shoulder and shared the rather large cake.
Adrian took a modest bite—it was unexpectedly good, sweet but not cloying. Jesse, however, wasn’t as particular. He gobbled it down happily, smearing cream all over his mouth.
“Oh no.” He blinked his blue eyes playfully. “Adri, wipe my mouth. I don’t have a free hand—”
“You seem quite enthusiastic today.” Adrian didn’t move.
“It’s rare to see you this warm.” Jesse smiled. “I have to cherish it—it’s so fun!”
“Is that so?” Adrian’s face remained unchanged as always.
“Of course! Oh no, the cream’s gonna drip on my clothes—save me, my passionate knight…”
Halfway through his teasing, Jesse’s eyes suddenly widened.
Adrian tilted his head and awkwardly kissed the cream by Jesse’s lips.
The Great Zenni looked at him, stunned like he’d been struck by lightning.
“As you can see, I don’t have a free hand either.”
Adrian said, smiling faintly.
“It’s rare to see you like this too—I should cherish it.”
Then he kissed him again.

Everyone’s Favorite Sports
A belated short story for Qixi Festival, with a little Olympic commemoration (*/ω＼*)
[Oliver × Nemo]
Oliver: [Swordsmanship]
Nowadays, Oliver has his own unique magic, but he still values swordsmanship highly, practicing two to three times a week in the garden.
His Rest In Peace has been modified by Nemo many times and is probably the most powerful divine artifact in the world. Oliver hangs it in their bedroom, and it still looks as plain as ever, like a handmade souvenir from a tourist spot.
If Oliver were to seriously wield it again, it would unleash terrifying power. Fortunately, the world is peaceful, so it continues to serve as Oliver’s exercise equipment.
“You really like swordsmanship,” Nemo once remarked.
Oliver smiled happily. “Because it always reminds me that ‘I am your knight’.”
Nemo: [None]
Nemo has never liked sports since childhood; he prefers sitting indoors reading books. Of course, chores like washing dishes, cleaning, and looking after kids probably don’t count as real exercise. For Nemo, doing chores is more like a job—his responsibility, not his hobby.
As for competitive sports, daily fitness, or even running, Nemo has no interest at all.
The Demon King doesn’t see this as “laziness.” The Pillar of the World can stay still for hundreds of millions of years, so to be fair, “not liking sports” is in his nature. Oliver has never found anything wrong with it either and always stays home with Nemo on rainy days, cuddling up to watch movies or play games together.
Maybe for Nemo, there’s only one exception—he’s willing to go anywhere as long as it’s an adventure with his knight.
…
[Jesse x Adrian]
Adrian: [Routine Training for the Knights of Judgment]
The Knights of Judgment have a fixed training regimen, and Adrian has always adhered to it. As long as conditions allow, he never skips his training, making it hard to say whether it’s out of passion or persistence.
A certain god has some complaints about this. Adrian Cross is no longer an ordinary person. Even if he ate butter every day, his beautiful body wouldn’t change shape. The Knight Commander should spend more time in bed instead, where they could cuddle longer.
But Adrian insists on his routine.
“Do you really enjoy working out that much?” Jesse asked with a bit of grievance.
“Persistence is also a form of liking,” Adrian calmly replied. “This is not the thing that I’m most persistent about, as you know.”
Since then, Jesse’s grievance vanished.
Jesse: [Walking]
Jesse Dylan loves walking.
Initially, he wandered through the universe; now that he has a home, he wanders across the world. He enjoys walking among humans, feeling the flow of time and the world’s transformation. Whether he does it in the form of a god, a human, or a beast depends entirely on Mr. Dylan mood that day.
He can roam from the most bustling cities to the most desolate forests, from the hottest deserts to the endless glaciers, from dawn till dusk, never tiring.
Nowadays, Jesse’s habits have changed slightly—now he only takes solitary walks near home, and if he travels far, Jesse insists on bringing Adrian along.
After all, it’s easy to lose your way under cloudy skies, and a traveler can never refuse the stars.

Childhood Hairstyles
I suddenly wondered what everyone’s hairstyle was like when they were kids, so I’m sharing this on Children’s Day—
Consider it a little addition to the setting (〃ω〃)
[Oliver x Nemo]
Oliver: [Neat Short Hair]
Shorter than when he became an adult. Little Oliver loved rolling around and playing, so it was easier to keep clean. Old Ramon could quickly trim his son’s hair with just a small knife.
Nemo: [Tidy Medium-Length Hair]
When he was young, Old Light and his older siblings at the orphanage helped him manage his hair. After taking over the orphanage and becoming the oldest, there was no one to help, so he gradually grew it longer and tied it into a braid for convenience when he became an adult.
…
[Jesse x Adrian]
Adrian: [Shoulder-Length Medium Hair]
His hometown was poor and cold, and long hair provided some warmth. Due to a lack of nutrition, young Adrian’s hair was rough and tangled, and it also covered his eyes a bit. He only cut it short after becoming a Knight of Judgment.
Jesse: [Very Long Hair]
In theory, he had no childhood, but once tried to transform into a boy of Adrian’s age. To highlight his holiness, his hair reached down to his ankles. Thinking about it, though, he found the boyish look troublesome and gave up on it afterward.

Everyone’s Favorite Fruits
This year’s Married Couple Day on 520* has arrived, so let’s write about everyone’s favorite fruits ☆
*The number 520 when pronounced in Chinese is very similar to [wǒ ài nǐ] (我爱你) I love you. Due to this, it has become a day in China called “Internet Valentine’s Day”.
Congratulations to the couple from [Full Server First Kill] for entering the happy married zone (*/ω＼*)
[Oliver x Nemo]
Oliver: [Kiwi]
“Oliver, did you know? There’s a kind of demon that wanders at night, turning children who waste food into fruits.”
Faced with the flour scattered all over the kitchen floor, along with the footprints of the suspect, Old Ramon solemnly declared, “I passed by your room late last night and saw only a kiwi on your pillow. Young man, if I had discovered it any later, you wouldn’t have been able to turn back.”
Due to the similar color scheme (?), young Oliver believed this story wholeheartedly. Old Ramon always kept a few kiwis in the kitchen as a warning. Of course, out of respect, Oliver ended up eating them all.
※ Oliver says it’s a taste that brings back memories.
Nemo: [Blueberry]
Back when he was in the Light Orphanage, as the eldest child, Nemo often led a group of younger siblings to the border forest to pick blueberries. Nemo knew a few secret spots on the forest’s edge where the blueberries were big, sweet, and rarely troubled by demons.
Compared to the sour wild fruits in the forest, blueberries were the most popular fruit in the Light Orphanage. Everyone laughed and played while picking them, and the leftover blueberries would be made into jam by Nemo, appearing on bread eaten for breakfast.
Later, as the children gradually left one by one, Nemo was the only one left, carrying a basket to the secret spot to pick blueberries. There weren’t many leftover blueberries, so he stopped making jam.
Later on, Oliver would always fill the fridge with the best blueberries, and Nemo would hum as he made blueberry jam—Oliver said that Nemo’s jam on bread for breakfast was the best.
※ Nemo believes it tastes incredibly warm.
~~~
A strange-looking kiwi tree appeared in the kitchen, with heavy fruit giving off a fresh fragrance. It would always proudly shake its leaves and stretch lazily. After the fruit was picked, new ones would grow the next day.
No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem normal, as if someone had specially created a new species.
“Trust me, I won’t waste food anymore,” Oliver said with a chuckle as he placed blueberries in the fridge.
“Don’t worry, Ollie,” Nemo said, holding two identical kiwis. “I promise I won’t turn you into a kiwi. This is just… well, a family tradition worth passing down, like blueberry jam.”
“Our family tradition,” Nemo happily added.
Then he placed the kiwis on both sides of Oliver’s head. “Wow, they really match your hair color, like you’ve grown two extra ears. Your dad was a genius at making up stories!”
Oliver: “……”
Oliver chuckled. “One for each of us. Which do you want, the left ear or the right ear?”
“The right ear!”
“Then the left one is mine.”
…
[Jesse x Adrian]
Adrian: [Strawberry]
Adrian Cross’s hometown was cold and poor, with only black bread, game meat, and root vegetables for food. As a teenager, he had only ever seen withered, dried-up wild apples, mottled with brown spots, looking like rotting corpses.
The closest thing he ever tasted to “normal fruit” was a small spoonful of strawberry jam gifted by a kind merchant. It emitted a faint berry aroma, as unreal as a dream, tasting like a miracle.
On the winter night that changed his destiny, he again smelled the sweet scent of berries on that wondrous creature. It didn’t exactly resemble the taste of strawberry jam but was far more delightful. Unfortunately, one cannot describe what they have never experienced before, so young Adrian could only associate it with that spoonful of strawberry jam.
To this day, Adrian still loves strawberries.
※ Adrian defines it as the “scent of a miracle.”
Jesse: [Cherry]
Before becoming the Knight Commander, Adrian Cross had accumulated many achievements. The church rewarded him with supplies, including a jar of wine-soaked cherries, a rare delicacy in the cold region. Young Mr. Cross shared half of the jar with the church members and carefully placed the other half in a silver jug, taking it to the snowy field where they first met.
The snow chilled the silver jug, keeping the wine-soaked cherries from spoiling. Every morning, Adrian would check the jug and brush it off from the fresh snow.
Naive yet stubborn, Jesse thought. Finally, he couldn’t stand Adrian’s dull behavior any longer and ran off to eat all the wine-soaked cherries, carefully erasing all traces—only God knew who ate them.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Cross calmly and contentedly retrieved the silver jug, without a trace of anxiety or confusion.
That was the first time Jesse personally received an offering from a believer, and he had to admit that the jar of wine-soaked cherries left a deep impression on him.
※ “It tasted like a mix of sweetness, curiosity, and a bit of frustration. You can’t ask for more,” Jesse said.
~~~
“You added strawberry jam to the cake.” Adrian carefully tasted the Black Forest cake in front of him.
“It makes the flavor richer—cherry liqueur and strawberry jam! No one in the world is better at blending them than me,” Jesse said, raising his nose. “You can’t buy such a perfect creation outside.”
Adrian finished the piece in front of him and set down the knife and fork with restraint.
Jesse’s smile faltered slightly, a part of it turning into a pout. “You’re only eating this much? Did today’s cake not suit your taste?”
Adrian: “I want to bring some for my colleagues to try.”
Jesse raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction.
“Someone asked me about my favorite dessert, and I said I only like eating the Black Forest cake made by my lover,” Adrian said.
Jesse’s eyebrows shot up in delight.
“I believe its taste is worthy of being called a ‘blessing from God,'” the former Knight Commander stated impartially.
“Oh, you’re welcome to share,” Jesse said, raising his nose again. “But not this one. You should keep eating—I’ll make a more ordinary version for that bunch.”
“Alright.”

Couple’s Pajama Party Valentine’s Day, of course, calls for a grand pajama reveal (?
And favorite intimate acts (???
[Oliver × Nemo]
~Oliver~
[Loose robe-style pajamas] in a light milky coffee color, made from a special fabric softened by magic. It’s softer to the touch than a kitten’s fur. A long sword surrounded by olive leaves is embroidered at the chest.
[Loose boxer briefs] in light olive green, made from the same fabric as the pajamas. An unfolded scroll is embroidered at the waistband.
※ The fabric was provided by Nemo, while Oliver handled the cutting. The embroidery design was a joint effort.
~Nemo~
[Loose robe-style pajamas] in a warm light gray, made from a special fabric softened by magic. It’s softer to the touch than a kitten’s fur. A crown surrounding the sun is embroidered at the chest.
[Loose boxer briefs] in dark gray, made from the same fabric as the pajamas. Two olive leaves are embroidered at the waistband.
※ Despite being able to use cleaning and mending spells daily, they still prepared several sets for rotation.
The fabric of these pajamas is thin, almost weightless. Wearing them to sleep in each other’s arms allows direct contact with the lover’s body heat. Especially on cold days, they like to exchange a sticky, earnest kiss under the covers, kissing until their lips tingle slightly.
…
[Jesse × Adrian]
~Adrian~
[Custom-made pajama set] in a special dark blue, which is a standard button-up pajama shirt and pants set. It’s looser than a daily shirt but still outlines the body well.
[Ready-made boxer briefs] in dark gray, chosen by the Knight Commander himself. A popular brand, comfortable, and reasonably priced, to someone’s disappointment.
※ Someone specially decorated the dark blue pajamas with gold buttons with star patterns.
~Jesse~
[Lavish classical nightgown] in pure white, with a deep neckline, wave pleat decorations, and gold thread embroidery at the collar and cuffs. Made from his own hair. It’s soft to the touch and emits a warm scent.
※ If he sleeps in his beast form, his body will only have long white fur.
Whether in human or beast form, Jesse always prefers to sleep with his knight by his side, and Adrian never resists. Despite Mr. Dylan frequently changing into beautiful pajamas, Adrian always prefers the beast’s long fur. However, Jesse isn’t saddened by this—
“This way, I can embrace him more fully,” Adrian once explained.

Got A Pumpkin
[Oliver x Nemo]
~Oliver Ramon’s Pumpkin~
Mr. Ramon purchased a perfectly shaped large pumpkin. He meticulously carved it, carefully dried it, and displayed it prominently at the Tumbleweed Bar.
The patrons would love this festive atmosphere, and the carefully scraped pumpkin flesh could be used to make pumpkin muffins for Nemo.
The orange muffin topped with white cream was Nemo’s favorite. He needed to make more this time, maybe add some beautiful colored sugar sprinkles…
Oliver pondered as he poured out candies, eventually overflowing it from the pumpkin’s mouth and scattered all over the floor.
※ “Oh no!” Mr. Ramon was unusually flustered.
~Nemo Light’s Pumpkin~
Nemo brought back a basket of small pumpkins from the market, which seemed hard and probably not very tasty.
It didn’t matter, as the Demon King had other uses for them—
On the kitchen counter, the pumpkins sprouted four little legs and grew varying numbers of eyes ranging from 2 to 5.
The patrons would love this festive atmosphere. He could even hide one carrying a chocolate candy in Oliver’s bed to give him a scare.
That evening, the patrons praised the Tumbleweed Bar’s exquisite “props,” and Oliver successfully ate that piece of milk chocolate.
※ That night, an unfortunate thief attempted to break in and was beaten up by mysterious orange creatures, leaving in tears.
———
[Jesse x Adrian]
~Jesse Dylan’s Pumpkin~
Jesse specifically chose a gleaming pumpkin and turned its texture similar to wood.
He carved intricate reliefs on the pumpkin lamp, akin to church murals, creating an unparalleled piece of art.
Perfect!
“I’ve carved the scenes of the five times I saved you. How wonderful,” Jesse said to Adrian, holding the pumpkin.
“Five times?”
Jesse raised his head proudly. “Saving you from the snow, from the war, from the festival, from death… and last week, saving you from a blonde beauty who persistently flirted with you.”
Adrian: “…Okay.”
※ On Halloween day, a frighteningly exquisite jack-o’-lantern appeared on Mr. Cross’s desk.
~Adrian Cross’ Pumpkin~
Pumpkin puree, eggs, flour…
Honey, butter, sugar, cream… Yes, add a little more cream…
Maybe a little decoration on top…
On Halloween morning, as soon as Jesse woke up, he smelled a delightful baking aroma. He’d never gotten out of bed so quickly, and in the kitchen, he found a perfectly baked honey pumpkin pie.
Adrian had gone to work, but beside the pumpkin pie was a note—[For you.]
Jesse discovered a white cream… dog(?) on the pumpkin pie. The cream was a bit melted, making the dog look soft. Atop the dog’s nose was a gleaming gold star.※ Adrian took a slice of the honey pumpkin pie.

Late Mid-Autumn Festival? National Day? Short joke~(*/ω＼*)
Everyone’s Belongings
[Oliver x Nemo]
~Oliver Ramon’s personal items~
◆ Driver’s License: Mr. Ramon often helps out with various things and easily gets involved in trouble. It’s essential to quickly prove his identity.
※ He doesn’t age and forges a new identity every few years.
◆ A roll of banknotes: Even though card payments and electronic payments are becoming more widespread, Mr. Ramon still prefers the feeling of reliability that cash brings. Even if he forgets his phone, he won’t forget his cash.
※ “So old-fashioned!” commented Mr. Dylan, who preferred to remain anonymous.
◆ Wedding ring: The second most precious treasure in the world. He never removes it, even while washing hands or taking a shower. After all, magic can handle the cleaning.
※ The most precious treasure is Nemo.
~Nemo Light’s personal items~
◆ Snacks and biscuits: Handmade by Oliver. They are delicious and unbeatable when it comes to coaxing children. The Demon King occasionally uses it, and when the two are separated, Nemo would eat some himself.
※ The term “children” here includes Lord Bagelmaurus.
◆ Latest large-screen smartphone: A pinnacle of modern human ingenuity, Nemo loves it. He often reads the latest magazines and has specially curated a collection for farming games.
※ It can be charged with magic, so no worries about battery life.
◆ Wedding ring: The protection magic, anti-lost magic, and curse magic on this ring are undoubtedly the strongest in the world, even stronger than the legendary papal staff consecrated in the Holy Land.
※ To this day, Nemo continues to add more magic to the ring, even though everyone (including himself) knows it’s unnecessary.

[Jesse x Adrian]
~Jesse Dylan’s personal items~
◆ Antique handkerchief: Soft in texture, beautifully embroidered in light blue, and radiates a charming scent. How could a gentleman not have a handkerchief?
※ “You are no gentleman,” Nemo pointed out ruthlessly.
◆ Slim glass bottle containing perfume: Mr. Dylan has a penchant for this human invention and switches scents daily.
※ Jesse initially preferred strong rose/woody scents. One day, he suddenly started using a fresh and light fruity fragrance, and nobody knows why.
◆ An ordinary cufflink: Plucked from someone’s uniform. Every time Mr. Cross gets a new shirt, Jesse purposely switches to a sapphire cufflink.
※ The removed cufflinks fill a small bottle. Jesse likes to pick one at random to wear, storing it in the same pocket as the perfume.
~Adrian Cross’ personal items~
◆ Police badge: Well, one can’t be without it… necessary for his profession!
※ Mr. Cross carries it even on his days off.
◆ Credit card: Someone likes to make impromptu purchases but often forgets to carry cash. Adrian is used to paying for it. Usually frugal, he is only generous on such occasions.
※ Perhaps this can be regarded as some sort of tribute, Mr. Cross thought.
◆ A golden hair strand: It always sneaks into a corner of his shirt, prompting ambiguous speculations from colleagues. Honestly, it has deterred a significant number of people from approaching the handsome former Knight Commander.
※ Adrian knows Jesse doesn’t shed hair in any form, but he pretends not to know.

Indulging in “Tears of the Kingdom” led to postponement of the mini… A small corner of everyone’s daily life!
[Oliver × Nemo]
“The eggs aren’t fresh anymore,” Just before bed at night, Nemo suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Oliver was drowsy in bed. The words “not fresh” stung the former innkeeper. He jumped up, almost alarmed, “What?”
Nemo yawned. “The eggs in the fridge aren’t fresh. I saw them when I poured milk today. They’ll expire tomorrow.”
That’s impossible. Oliver gasped as if in pain.
In theory, they shouldn’t have to worry about illness, poverty, or accidents. The things that could concern him were really limited. As the one in charge of breakfast, Oliver was confident that the ingredients in the fridge were always fresh and of the best quality.
“Last time I didn’t buy a lot, and the eggs in the recipe haven’t been reduced…” Oliver pondered deeply.
“I think I know what happened,” Nemo mumbled drowsily. “It’s Miss Goodman.”
Miss Goodman was still a student, working part-time at the Tumbleweed Bar during the holidays. From purchasing, inventory management to ledger sorting, with this excellent employee around, Nemo and Oliver’s leisure time for dating increased threefold.
Moreover, Miss Goodman didn’t like Jesse Dylan, the “Inventory Killer” and “Bill Disturber”. She completely ignored his charming face, treating him as if he was a raccoon in the kitchen.
Unfortunately, Miss Goodman was a devout follower of Laddism.
Later, Oliver decided to give her a 40% raise. Nemo suspected that 30% was for the threefold increased dating time, and the remaining 10% compensated for the mental loss she didn’t even realize.
Oliver finally realized, “Since Miss Goodman took over, we’ve been going out all the time.”
“So we’ve had fewer chances to eat at home.” Nemo draped his arm over Oliver’s chest and pulled him back to bed.
Mystery solved. The bedroom quieted down in the night. Nemo closed his eyes, just about to fall asleep with the warmth of his lover—
“No, they’re about to expire. I’ll make some cakes, perfect for a picnic tomorrow.” Oliver sat up again, looking for his slippers.
“…Now?”
“You go to sleep first.” Oliver caressed Nemo’s hair.
“Let’s do it together. I can help pick the cake design… But thinking about it, Ollie, it seems we’ve used all our extra time on our personal lives.”
“Isn’t that great?”
“It’s awesome.”
…
[Jesse × Adrian]
Late at night, Adrian was working in his study.
Being a policeman meant less free time. But for the exceptionally performing former knight commander, the job was especially tough. Like now, he had to read reports from his subordinates, view gruesome crime scenes, write work emails, and endure the continuous “rolling” noise in the room—
The great Mr. Jesse was lying back in the office chair, using his amazing magic to push himself, making the chair slide on the wooden floor like a squid swimming in the night.
“You should be on night duty now.” Adrian pinched the bridge of his nose.
“I’m off today. Didn’t I tell you?” Jesse slid closer on the chair, raising his voice, “I—AM—OFF—TODAY—”
Adrian kept working. “Okay.”
“I~ am~ off~ today~♪” Jesse sang again in the tune of a church hymn. Before he could finish, Adrian’s computer screen started to flicker.
Adrian finally looked up.
“This case is important. Someone is performing live sacrifices in the name of a Laddism Church. They might be summoning…” he paused carefully, choosing the right words, “Summoning beings not of this world.”
“Let Nemo and the others handle it.” Jesse suggested loudly.
“It’s related to the Laddism Church.”
“This world is still Mr. Light’s backyard. Lately, those two have been dating every other day, they’re too free.” Jesse nearly hit Adrian’s desk with his chair. “We shouldn’t do all the work.”
Adrian frowned in disagreement.
Jesse continued, “I gave you my heart not so you’d work yourself to death.”
“You know I don’t have health issues.”
“It’s just a metaphor!”
“Do you want to go out on a date?”
Jesse’s chair came to an abrupt stop.
“You could have just asked.” Adrian sighed. “Actually, if I’d known you were off, I would have made time.”
“You mean…” Jesse raised an eyebrow.
“Let’s go.” Adrian said, “It’s just one night. The world won’t end.”

Tanabata, Tanabata, everyone’s outfit special edition~
[Oliver × Nemo]
~Golden Century Period~
Oliver:
[Loose and comfortable cloth shirt] Undyed original color with light yellow in the white. Although Mr. Ramon is no longer so strapped for cash, he’s still used to going to the market and buying the most ordinary handicrafts.
[Pants with the same fabric] The most common style. Dyed with plant sap, making it a dull gray-green color. The color will fade after washing too much, but magic can solve this small problem very well.
[Simple style sheepskin shoes] Dark brown. Breathable and easy to wear, but the appearance is lackluster and looks gray. Anyway, an innkeeper has to step on dust as he goes in and out, so whatever.
※Lord Demon King may have put 100,000 protection curses on his clothes, although they all know it is not necessary.
Nemo:
[Gray-black linen robe] There’s no embroidery or decoration, and the fabric is very soft. Just by looking at the robe, it is completely impossible to see that the owner is a “mage”.
[Oliver’s pants of the same style] Dyed a darker charcoal black. They occasionally wear the wrong clothes when they are in a hurry, but no one minds.
[Comfortable long-cloth boots] They were originally charcoal black, but they faded a little bit when they were worn too much. It’s not as wear-resistant as sheepskin shoes, but fortunately, Lord Demon King doesn’t like to physically run around.
※Oliver secretly embroiders the words “My Love” on the back of Nemo’s neckline.
…
~Modern~
Oliver:
[Clean linen shirt] The shape is good and durable. Oliver is used to rolling up his cuffs and the touch always reminds him of the past.
[Jeans that are not close-fitting] Dark army green color that’s not too tight. Oliver likes it very much.
[Slightly expensive sneakers] Thick-soled, very comfortable to wear. Oliver doesn’t have a hobby of collecting shoes. He just bought two pairs in his favorite style.
※Nemo bought him two extra pairs.
Nemo:
[Black sweater printed with “Final Boss”] The font has been specially designed. Nemo stored two dozen, each with a different font color. Lord Demon King likes to catch his lover and play the game of “spot the difference” very much.
[Warm gray overalls that are too loose] There are many pockets, no logo, and they are comfortable and easy to wear. Nemo occasionally takes out small things from his pockets that shouldn’t belong in this world.
[Printed canvas shoes with a sense of design] They’re not as comfortable as sneakers, but fortunately, someone can just directly split space to travel.
※Recently, there has been a trend to wear sneakers with Oliver.
—
[Jesse × Adrian]
~Golden Century Period~
The two have been wearing the monk clothes of the Laddism Church.
※Although Adrian thinks it’s unnecessary, Jesse insists that this is a very fun game.
…
~Modern~
Adrian:
[A navy-blue windbreaker that has no brand but fits very well] Made by someone. It will match with different styles depending on the weather.
[Black straight-leg pants] Made by someone. It highlights the leg lines when walking.
[Bright and clean leather boots] Made by someone. Mr. Cross expressed helplessness about it.
※A certain Mr. Dylan, who did not want to be named, said that Adrian’s work uniform is the best.
Jesse:
[A loose T-shirt that is a bit exaggerated but looks expensive at first glance] The style is over-the-top and cynical, paired with sunglasses and multiple necklaces, giving off a bad vibe.
[Sea blue wide-leg pants] Has messy straps hanging, and the embroidery on the straps is unexpectedly exquisite.
[Limited edition sneakers] With a special devil pattern. Giving off very bad vibes.
※When standing with Mr. Cross, he will always be mistaken for a criminal who has just been captured.

Valentine’s Day Album, Inexplicable Nightmare Feature✨
[Oliver × Nemo]
The holiday that belonged to lovers was coming. Oliver got up early, filled all the vases in the room with roses, and hung a large golden wreath at the door. Although they knew Zenni himself and firmly believed that there was no need to pray to this person for a smooth relationship, Oliver always found this custom very cute.
After all, this was a good time to show “I am forever in love with the love of my life”.
Yet, after all his work, His Majesty still had himself rolled up under the covers, his eyes tightly closed, and a rare frown on his face. Oliver took a deep breath and approached gingerly. Nemo seemed to detect his scent and opened his eyes in a daze.
“The scent of roses is so good,” Nemo murmured. He spread his arms, put his arms around Oliver’s waist, and buried his face in his lover’s abdomen.
Before Nemo had time to tie up his hair, his long black hair hung down on his shoulders. Oliver touched a few handfuls of warm hair and sat down on the edge of the bed cooperatively. “What happened to you just now?”
“Had a nightmare.”
Nemo let go of his arm and slowly retreated back to the bed.
“Thanks to it, now I’m thinking about something really atrocious. Are you sure you want to know?”
“Of course.”
“Lower your head. Yes, that’s it.” Nemo stretched out his hand and pointed his index finger at Oliver’s brow. Oliver slowly exhaled and closed his eyes.
The Demon King’s dream was very vivid, no different from reality. In the surging memory, he was standing at the door of the back kitchen of the Dawn Tavern, looking… looking at the surging ocean of cockroaches.
‘Oh,’ Oliver thought numbly. Yesterday such a thing happened—the person next door came to deliver goods yesterday and a cockroach fell out of it. It was half dead, and Nemo, who had come to steal chestnuts, had stepped on it.
The “crunching” sound was extremely clear. Nemo’s movement froze in an instant, and Mr. Hero, who was baking chestnuts, was fortunate to witness the whole process.
Oliver’s ankles were flooded with cockroaches in his dream, and he couldn’t help frowning, showing the same painful expression as Nemo.
“You just said ‘cruel things’… I can guess a general idea.”
“Yes, it’s time to create a new abyssal magic.”
Nemo retracted his hand. He covered his head with a quilt, his voice a little muffled.
“It must be cruel enough, vicious enough, and able to operate around the clock. If those things dare to approach my territory, I promise to leave them with nothing left.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Of course there is. Now, give me a good morning kiss.”
—
[Jesse × Adrian]
With the holiday approaching, Jesse sprayed more rose perfume on the pillow.
…It was a pity that tonight’s dream wasn’t as wonderful as the fragrance.
He dreamed of the young Adrian Cross. The other party looked to be in his early twenties, wearing the magnificent uniform of the Chief Justice of the Knights of Judgement. Adrian stood beside Pope Dawn Quinn, holding a hairless cat in his arms.
Jesse approached with a grin as usual, but the young knight commander took a half step back at the same time, his face showing some despondency and apology.
Something’s wrong. Jesse stopped. He had many dreams about Adrian Cross, but whether in a dream or in reality, Adrian had never shown such an expression.
Could it be some kind of omen?
Just as Jesse was thinking about himself, the young knight sighed. “Mr. Dylan, I have been hiding something from you.”
“Hmm?”
“I respect Pope Quinn, and it has something to do with his ‘no hair’. The same is true of animals. ‘No hair’ has a kind of orderly beauty.”
Adrian stroked the hairless cat in his arms and looked directly into Jesse’s eyes.
“Actually, for what you look like, I—”
Jesse jumped out of bed as soon as he heard these words.
After living for tens of thousands of years, this was the first time Jesse woke up from his dream. The development of the dream made him cry and laugh. It shouldn’t be a bad sign, that is to say…
Mr. Dylan tightened his face, and the aftertaste lasted for a long time. “A legendary ‘nightmare’?”
The morning light was shining outside the window, and Adrian was lying next to Jesse. He was sleeping very heavily, and his facial features were much more mature than in Jesse’s dream. Jesse looked at Adrian for a while, then slowly put his head on the other’s pillow. The long blonde hair pressed against Adrian’s face, making the latter unconsciously mewl; his expression relaxed a lot.
Jesse breathed contentedly.
He knew that Adrian would never hate his hair—no matter what form of hair it was-it was estimated that the world had been peaceful for too long for him to have that inexplicable troubling dream.
“Baby, do you think I’m better suited with short hair?”
“Maybe,” Adrian replied, very seriously. “Speaking of this, I do have a suggestion.”
“…Hmm, what?”
“Don’t spray too much perfume on the pillow. You’re getting a lot of the smell in your hair.”
“You don’t like the smell of roses?”
“I like it, but it covers up your smell.”

Chinese New Year Extra, Everyone’s Specialty ♪
Once again, I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Tiger—!
[Oliver × Nemo]
~Oliver Ramon’s Specialties~
Knight Montblanc: Nemo likes chestnut cakes very much, and Oliver especially found the best pastry master to study under. This Montblanc has extremely high requirements for ingredients, has a refreshing and delicate taste, and the aroma of chestnuts is particularly rich. Someone once persuaded Mr. Ramon to reduce costs by using lower quality ingredients, but he rejected them all.
“Actually, this was originally not for sale,” he said with a smile, “But Nemo wants to share it with you.”
※Sold at a higher price, in limited quantities, to be eaten with a silver sword-shaped fork.
Special Baked Potatoes: The signature dish of the Ramon Inn. Oliver learned it at the age of ten. Cheese, bacon, and black pepper are served with mashed potatoes, which are loved by people of all ages. Later, at the request of a certain Demon King, Oliver specially added sweet, minced caramelized onions.
※To this day, this dish is still one of the signature dishes of Tumbleweed Bar.
~Nemo Light’s Specialties~
Demon King’s Veal Chop: Fresh veal chops cooked on the Demon’s King’s fire. Oliver’s favorite texture is medium rare. The veal is served with rosemary butter, and Oliver orders it four or five times a week. Ordinary flames won’t do it justice.
Mr. Light will always make some new attempts at the sauce, and there will be different surprises every time.
※The Tumbleweed Bar has a hidden menu, and Nemo opens it up for order when he’s in an extraordinarily good mood.
Alban Traditional Baked Meatloaf: Baked meatloaf with a lot of coarsely ground pepper and crushed chili. The skin is crispy. With one bite, the delicious and slightly scalded gravy will overflow instantly, suitable for large mouthfuls. The classic dishes of Tumbleweed Bar are often sold with beer or spirits.
※It is said to be the favorite food of Alban’s “Blood Queen”.
—
[Jesse × Adrian]
~Jesse Dylan’s Specialties~
Thick Creamy Stew: Chicken thighs with vegetables and milk, unexpectedly simple in appearance. Not only delicious and mellow in the mouth, it’s rare that it’s also refreshing and palatable. It’s especially suitable for stewing in a small pot in the cold winter, which will make people sweat, as if guarding a hot fireplace.
If you eat a bowl, you won’t be hungry for a long time. Adrian likes this dish very much.
※Mr. Dylan claims that he’s good at all recipes and only makes this often (ten times a month) out of interest.
Pope’s Cookies: The shape is much like the butter cookies distributed by the Clementine Cathedral, round and thick. The cookies are filled with extra sugar, but they aren’t greasy to eat. This is really a miracle. Mr. Dylan occasionally supplies it to Tumbleweed Bar to make some extra money.
※Mr. Dylan originally planned to call it “Old Baldy Cookies”, but under Adrian’s watch, he finally wrote the name “Pope’s Cookies” on the label.
~Adrian Cross’ Specialties~
Yogurt Cheesecake: The cheesecake made with yogurt has a soft and dense taste and just the right amount of humidity. After it’s done, Mr. Cross will apply a thin layer of white cream to the cake and serve it with fresh berries. He doesn’t know how to make delicate accessories, but such simple decorations don’t have a sense of beauty. A certain large beast can eat half in just a bite.
※Mr. Dylan, who claims to be “good at all recipes”, found that he couldn’t make the same taste.
Marching Soft Cake: A soft cake with vegetables, eggs, and cream. It has a mild taste after being sprinkled with granulated sugar. It’s very convenient to carry, and the taste will not deteriorate after it’s cold. It’s said that it was once a popular high-grade marching food in Alban.
※Mr. Cross will cook some when he’s on vacation, and it’s eaten with a creamy stew. It tastes very good.

Halloween Extra. Struggling and Slacking Off at Work 🎃
[Oliver × Nemo]
At night, a high-rise apartment.
The lights were turned off in the apartment. Two young people huddled in a thin blanket, watching a horror movie projected on a large screen. The projector was of good quality, and the gloomy picture cast was extremely clear.
Nemo swallowed the chocolate popcorn and went to grab more from Oliver’s side. As soon as he grabbed it, the Demon King noticed something was wrong—Oliver held his breath. His whole body was tight, and the popcorn bucket in his arms didn’t move.
Nemo: “……”
Nemo glanced at the distorted ghost on the screen in confusion. This movie had just been released, and the psychological horror plot was outstanding and widely praised. The two of them specially saved it for Halloween, intending to create a festive atmosphere. Now it seems that they created too much of a festive atmosphere.
“Ollie, are you scared?”
“Demons are at least creatures. This, this kind of thing that can’t be explained logically, I’m a little bit…”
“It’s okay,” Nemo announced solemnly. “I have a good solution.”
For the next half hour, whenever there was any depressing scene in the movie, Nemo would turn his head and kiss Oliver’s ear.
Mr. Ramon never managed to hold his breath again.
It turned out that Nemo’s method was very effective—the movie was about to end, the screen was swarming with demons and very weird images, but Oliver could no longer tense up.
“I’ll get two glasses of mulled wine and watch a comedy later.” Oliver rubbed his flushed ears, got up, and went to the kitchen.
“Tsk, someone really resurrected.” Bagelmaurus began to steal Oliver’s popcorn. “Isn’t this kind of thing just a stimulus? It’s been many years, and Ramon isn’t that fragile.”
“I really don’t like to see him scared. Even if I’m afraid, it has to be me first.” Nemo grimaced at the ghost at the end of the film.
“…You have a weird angle of being jealous.”
“Shut up.”
—
[Jesse × Adrian]
At night, a bar in lower town Doru.
In order to celebrate Halloween, the shops on the streets were somewhat decorated. This bar was the most exaggerated of them all—they hung life-size zombies at the door.
Adrian Cross stepped into the bar with two colleagues.
Today’s captured target was quite dangerous. If the information was correct, the target would meet at this store tonight for a deal.
…It turned out to be this store.
“Uh, we didn’t order these.” His police officer colleague was tongue-tied for the first time.
“Holiday gifts, gentlemen,” Jesse Dylan replied, holding the tray.
Jesse was still dressed up as the usual bartender, with a face that was too beautiful to be real. As if to increase the festive atmosphere, he had two white pointed ears on top of his head and a long hairy tail behind his waist. In the gap between the two police officers looking away, Adrian saw the pair of ears twitching at him.
Adrian: “…” Sure enough, he grew them himself.
“Three drinks, no alcohol added, all improvised,” Jesse continued with a grin and began to distribute tall glasses. “This one is ‘all the best’, this one is ‘good health’. And this last one…”
He pushed a dark-red drink in front of Adrian.
“It’s called ‘Kiss of God’.”
After dividing the drinks, Jesse narrowed his eyes at the three of them and happily returned to the back of the bar to mix drinks.
“Do you want to switch, Cross? My cup is juice and I want to drink something with bubbles,” one of the police officers came back to his senses and said with a smile.
Inconsistent with that serious appearance, Chief Cross was easy to talk to. Whether it was to change lunch breaks or duty dates, as long as there was a reasonable excuse, he would never refuse. However…
“No.” Adrian Cross laughed with a rare smile and took a sip of his drink.
Unlike thousands of years ago, wine-marinated gooseberry sauce with sparkling water had just the right taste.

How can we miss Qixi Festival! Write about everyone in the eyes of passersby (?)
Time is filled with work, still searching for moments to write ʕ ; ᴥ ; ʔ
[Oliver × Nemo]
@Tumbleweed Bar Bouncer/Male/43 years old
“Me? I worked in the Tumbleweed Bar for two years.”
“I was originally a homeless man nearby, and the bosses kindly recruited me as a bouncer… Yes, it was those two young people. If you ask me, they must all be children of rich families. The bar doesn’t make much money at all. It uses all good things. There’s not a drop of water in the wine, and I don’t know what the full picture is.”
“Partner? No, no, they are married. They would run out of the stores for three days. Usually, no one causes trouble. My job is similar to a shopkeeper watching a store. Hey, the work is easy, and the treatment is good. Maybe Zenni finally gave this old man some blessing.”
“Yeah, I thought the two men weren’t mature enough. As a result, the bosses never quarrel. Every day I could see one sending flowers to the other, and they never seemed to get tired of each other. Okay, gotta stop talking. I have to go back to work… Girlfriend? What are you talking about, I don’t have a girlfriend.”
“Oh, you’re asking about the smell of roses? Forget it, one of the bosses ordered a new variety of roses and typed the wrong quantity… Because of this, I fucking ate rose-flavored snacks for a week. The whole bar is rose-flavored, and they also plan to develop a rose beer.”
“Which boss typed the wrong quantity? How did I know? Someone in the store asked. They just laughed, and neither of them would admit it. Yes, you guessed it right, they both bought it and wanted to give it to each other as soon as possible. Yes, yes, it’s just that expensive variety, so let me just say, they are definitely very rich.”
“……”
“I used to believe that living alone was beneficial, but after seeing them laugh there, I can probably see the benefit of being with someone…”
“…After all, I have lived for more than forty years, and I have been wandering the streets for more than ten years, and I have never seen such happy faces.”

@Chain Dessert Shop Clerk/Female/28 years old
“That beautiful guest came again last week! This time I specifically said hello and took a picture. Look, isn’t it scary beautiful? The first time he came back, I thought I was hallucinating. Hey, is he really not an actor?”
“Yes, he comes to buy desserts every week, and he buys a lot. It’s a miracle that he’s not fat.”
“Looking frivolous? Hi, I think so too. To be honest, he doesn’t give me a very comfortable feeling. The smile is charming, but there’s always a subtle sense of indifference… I can’t say, but in short, it feels very inhuman.”
“I’m not going to strike up a conversation, but Jane wanted to ask for his contact information. After all, that guy wasn’t wearing a wedding ring. Jane, who has always been easy to get serious, and I wanted to persuade her. Guess what, that guy can read his mind, and he came with a man the next day.”
“Not a friend, I saw him kiss the man in the corner. Jane also saw it. She was sad for a long time… But it’s a good thing. If she’s really stuck, she would be depressed for at least a month.”
“Coincidence? ……Well, it may be a coincidence. When he bought snacks before, he would always pick something that wasn’t too sweet and pack it separately. I thought he wasn’t single before. It is not surprising that he pulled his boyfriend to pick the new products that came out of the store that day. Mr. Boyfriend looks quite serious but gives people a very down-to-earth feeling.”
“Now that I think about it, I should have gone back at that time to take pictures. Why? Let me think about what I wanted to say… When he was with his boyfriend, that guy’s behavior didn’t change much, but there was a more human touch in his eyes.”
“No! It’s not that I’m over-thinking things… Forget it, just call it a woman’s intuition.”

10:00-14:00 Go to the Tumbleweed Bar, change shifts with Oliver, and rush his lover to rest. He also stopped by to buy a flower to give to him and, when they meet, greet him with a kiss.
14:00 to 20:00, Go to the exorcism school with Oliver to pretend to be a student. Will sleep in most of the classes and only dutifully eat dinner at school. Anti-counterfeiting technology is improving day by day, and the two of them will have to get a legal certificate every 30 years. Unfortunately, no one has discovered Nemo’s Demon King identity so far.
20:00-23:00 Back to the Tumbleweed Bar. He casually cleans up two ungrateful devil worshippers. Tonight, there was Oliver’s famous fruit pie. Jesse attempted to come and eat and drink it, and Nemo ate the last piece in front of him. Perfect.
23:00-00:00 Midnight management is left to Telaranea and Bagelmaurus. The two study the world map at home for a while, determined to go to the rainforest for a little adventure. Nemo’s spells were used very carefully and were not noticed by the monitoring department, which is really gratifying.
~Oliver Ramon’s Day Routine~
07:00-08:00 Get up to prepare breakfast and wake up His Majesty with a kiss. After breakfast, Oliver goes to the Tumbleweed Bar first.
08:00-14:00 To prepare for work, Nemo will come to change shifts at around 11:00. He would get a flower and a kiss, as well as a happy lunch break. Today, Nemo gave a magic-dyed green rose, and Oliver inserted it in the most conspicuous place in the store.
14:00-20:00 Go to the exorcist school with Nemo to pretend to be a student. Out of interest, he will listen carefully and take notes, but he won’t wake up Nemo, who’s asleep.
20:00-23:00 Back to the Tumbleweed Bar, Nemo’s favorite fruit pie was specially prepared. It’s a pity that most of the fruit bought was stolen by the gray parrot. Oliver had to temporarily buy more ingredients and decided to only give ordinary bird food to Bagelmaurus tomorrow.
23:00-00:00 The rainforest is lined with tall trees, and the two sat on the top of the tree and watched the starry sky for a while. It’s off the beaten track, and Oliver can’t help but think of what happened a long time ago. Nemo was also full of emotion and almost changed back to the appearance of Ulysses again. If it weren’t for Oliver’s timely discovery of a researcher’s camera, his lover would be in the news sooner or later.
“Next time you can choose a more partial place, such as the snowy mountains,” Mr. Ramon suggested so. “But today is good enough.”
“Yes, it’s good enough.”

[Jesse × Adrian]
~Adrian Cross’s Day Routine~
06:00-09:00 Get up for morning exercises and morning prayers, then drive to the police station. Keep quiet throughout the process so as not to wake up Jesse, who’s sleeping soundly.
09:00-12:00 Work incidentally identifies which cases are related to demons and need to be handled separately. There will be a short break between work for a light lunch and a cup of black coffee.
12:00-17:00 Continue to work, replying to Jesse’s rambling messages every half hour. Everything is normal today, and there’s no need to go out in the field.
17:00-20:00 Drive to lower town to pick up Jesse. Jesse will carefully select the restaurant for dinner. The man also chose an expensive shop today, and Adrian didn’t refuse. After all, today is a weekday, and they can only have such a meal together.
20:00-21:00 As usual, go to Tumbleweed to say hello. Jesse tried to take Nemo’s share of fruit pie with a spell and was caught. Adrian dragged his lover away, who was flipping off the bar, and asked Oliver for the recipe for the fruit pie.
21:00-23:00 Tries to make fruit pies while praying at night. Jesse was highly dissatisfied with not being able to interrupt and expressed his “dissatisfaction” with practical actions. Near 23:00, Adrian struggled to take a bath, laid back on the bed exhausted, and decided to try making it again on the weekend.
~Jesse Dylan’s Day Routine~
12:00-17:00 Get up and go to the bar in lower town, yawning while at work. There are few customers during the day, which is suitable for screening restaurants all over the world while harassing his lover at work.
17:00-20:00 Change into formal clothes and wait for Adrian to pick him up. The two eat and talk in a carefully selected restaurant, and Jesse added three dessert packages.
20:00-21:00 Exchanged messages with the two at the Tumbleweed Bar, but it’s a pity that they didn’t get any fruit pie.
21:00-23:00 His knight commander was wearing an apron and fiddling with milk and granulated sugar while doing evening prayers with a cold face. This scene was a bit weird and pleasing to the eye. It’s not difficult to make the choice between eating a pie or having a lover, but even if there’s a cleansing spell, Adrian will always take a bath habitually. Next time he won’t leave him any stamina. Jesse resolutely squeezed into the bathtub.
23:00-04:00 Adrian falls asleep, and Jesse returns to work in the bar. Lower town is in chaos. As a bartender here, he can always hear all kinds of bad news. To be Chief Cross’s informant, he has to have a job that makes sense.
“No one can compare to the sweets you make. Why do you have to steal Mr. Light’s?”
“Tsk, they taught you too rigid at the beginning. Darling Adri, it’s more delicious when you steal it.” …Especially with your “own” hands.

Valentine’s Day Chocolate Special 🍫
[Oliver × Nemo]
[Hand-Made Boxed Chocolate × 1]
Made by: Nemo Wright
Item description:
Hand-made chocolate according to the most popular method on the market. The best raw materials were specially selected. During the production process, His Majesty the Demon King was too focused, and one of them became a new breed of demon that tittered and tried to escape from the gift box.
Nemo apologized and said that the taste wouldn’t be affected as a result. Oliver still raised it with interest.
[Bedtime Marshmallow Hot Chocolate x 2]
Made by: Oliver Ramon
Item description:
The sweet and warm hot chocolate had just the right sweetness, which was much more palatable than the ones on the market. Prepared by Oliver Ramon, the owner of Tumbleweed Bar. Nemo had always liked the unique taste in the world.
Before going to bed, have a cup. The good night kiss also had a sweet taste.

[Jesse × Adrian]
[Black Forest Cake x 1]
Made by: Jesse Dylan
Item description:
The gods themselves were most satisfied with the work. The taste surpassed the existing Black Forest Cake on the market. In order to obtain the perfect taste, Jesse tried four times and finally resisted not eating it in advance.
People who don’t like sweets can happily eat it.
[Chocolate Flavored Bath Bomb × 1]
Purchased by: Adrian Cross
Item description:
The product of a certain luxury brand was very expensive. After turning to knowledgeable colleagues, the honest Mr. Cross spent an entire quarter of his salary. He wrapped it carefully and put it on the edge of the bathtub at home.
For a full half month afterwards, both of them smelled faintly of chocolate.
2020/11/11
There’s no holiday today, but I thought about it and wrote something. Let’s sleep together. _(:D”∠)_
[Oliver × Nemo]
The cheese in the shop was eaten cleanly by the grey parrot. In order to operate normally, Oliver had to go buy additional premium cheese.
“If I leave now, I can be back before lunch tomorrow.” Oliver reconfirmed the ticket. “Earlier Mr. Cross said…”
“I remember—Your teleportation magic is too strong and frequent use will alarm the exorcism agency. It’s a good thing to keep a low profile. Just spend the night apart.” Nemo scratched his hair. “What do you want to eat for lunch tomorrow?”
“Parrot stew.”
“Ditto.”
His Majesty the Demon King overestimated his adaptability. That night, Nemo drank a whole pot of honey milk and lay upright on the bed until two in the morning, sadly declaring insomnia. The bedroom was too quiet and empty, and the flying snow outside the window wasn’t pleasing to the eye.
Nemo tightened his pajamas, turned on his phone, and began to find the latitude and longitude of Oliver’s hotel.
Unlike Oliver, he didn’t need to teleport using magic, but going to an unfamiliar destination, splitting space could easily cause accidents. In order to avoid the hotel building and the staff from being torn apart, Nemo calculated carefully for half a minute.
Late at night, on the roof of a hotel. There was a sharp roar in the air, and a dark shadow crashed to the ground. It deftly avoided the surveillance, stopped for a moment in front of an open window, and then sneaked in.
The next day, Oliver looked at the sleeping person in his arms and blinked. “Good morning.”
“Good morning.” Nemo yawned. “Ollie, if I didn’t come, are you going to keep the window open all night on a snowy day?”
“I guess that you would come.” Oliver’s ears became a little red. “The room is too quiet, and I can’t sleep.”
“…Ditto.”

[Jesse × Adrian]
For many years, whenever he spent the night in beast form, Jesse made sure to ball up into a perfect oval. The tip of his tail perfectly covered the nose, leaving a gap in his abdomen for Adrian to spend the night. The whole set of actions were done in one go, which was extremely elegant.
As one of the strongest living creatures in existence, the behemoth’s sleeping position was too cautious.
However, after the two of them suspended their travels, bought a home, and settled down, Jesse’s habits changed subtly.
One winter night.
Adrian walked into the bedroom and saw Jesse lying on the bed at a glance. The behemoth straightened his body, resting his four legs casually as he lay diagonally across the bed.
Their homes had no special protection and were no different from ordinary hotels, but the behemoth slept quite relaxed—its tail hung to the ground, a little pink tongue appeared from its mouth, and the soothing sound of breathing filled the room.
Adrian moved lightly and sat on the side of the bed. The behemoth seemed to be aware of it. It hummed twice, rolled over and made room, then went to sleep peacefully again. The place where it had lain was very warm, and the familiar and soft smell lingered in the nose. Everything was just right.
Adrian turned around and put his arm on the back of the behemoth.
“I locked the windows, so the house is safe,” he said. “Good night and sweet dream.”
For God, this was complete nonsense, and Adrian couldn’t help smiling. The concept of “home” was still a bit fresh, and it always made people do stupid things unknowingly.
But at present, it seemed that a little change wasn’t bad.

Late Tanabata Extra, Pet Special ☆
[Oliver × Nemo]
There was an extra gray parrot in the Tumbleweed Bar. It was bouncing happily at the bar. Lord Bagelmaurus, who stayed at the bar on weekdays, was moved into the back kitchen.
“Why?!” There were tears in Bagelmaurus’ eyes, and its voice was an octave higher than usual.
“A few days ago, someone complained that he was insulted by the parrot in the store for half an hour with unsightly swearing, which caused him great mental damage.” Nemo’s smile was quite kind. “If Ollie hadn’t said everything, the man would have gone to a lawyer.”
“I’m right! He wouldn’t leave after closing time, and I didn’t do anything!” The gray parrot curled its neck.
“The problem isn’t here. He recorded it, and you didn’t notice. If it’s known by someone who shouldn’t know—”
“Are you joking? Are you two still afraid of the exorcists?” All the parrot feathers exploded. “And didn’t that guy say he would delete the recording?”
“Ollie and I happen to be planning a vacation. If we are closed for investigation at this moment because of this kind of frivolousness…” Nemo smile became more genial.
“…” The feathers of the gray parrot quickly deflated, and the entire bird froze on the bird stand.
“I’m sorry,” it muttered in a low voice. “Just…I apologize. Can you send that stupid bird away? That garbage can only say a few alcohol names…”
“I will let it stay for two days to see your performance.” Nemo’s smile was extremely bright.
“Asshole!”
“Hmm?”
“I mean, I’m sorry.”
“Aren’t you going to tell it the truth?” Ollie, who was doing accounts at the bar, raised his eyes. “Tammy at the store asked us to help take care of her parrot, and we’ll return it in a few days.”
“No.” Nemo kissed his lover’s ear. “Mr. Hero, do you want to be in cahoots with evil and help keep my secret?”
“Of course, Your Majesty.” Oliver bent his eyes.
“And I don’t like to see you bow your head to rude guests,” Nemo said in a whisper.
“Let me guess,” Oliver couldn’t restrain the smile in his voice. “You tampered with his recording?”
“…How did you know?”
“I guessed?”
On the other side, Mr. Duff was satisfied that the backup of the recording was dumped to his computer and ready to be uploaded. He opened the audio file and found that the first half of the thing was an eerie sound that made people uncomfortable, and the second half was a breakfast cookie commercial music.
He deleted it unhappily.

[Jesse x Adrian]
Adrian had a cat.
He was unexpectedly gentle with the white cat, cooking fresh fish and chicken for it every day, grooming it, and allowing it to sleep in his bed at night.
“I can’t figure it out.” Jesse balled up at the Tumbleweed Bar and lapped up the fruit wine with discontent. “So much for over-loving like you two. In all these years, Adri’s never been interested in that kind of stuff.”
“It’s just a cat. People change.” Nemo ruffled the long hairs on the bar in disgust. “To be honest, I think Mr. Cross came to the party a little late.”
“He’s starting to change?” Jesse twitched his ears. “No, because it’s okay for big things to falter. A beast in the district—”
“What, are you starting to worry about him faltering? A little change and you’re nervous like this?”
“Nonsense, I’ve been waiting for him to waver for a long time.” The beast bared its fangs. “…Oh, bring me two schnitzels. Adri likes them.”
Jesse drained his drink and ate the rest of his schnitzel. He was determined to scare the cat more in the dead of night. As a result, he alertly moved away from the door and found no sign of the white cat.
“Where’s the cat?”
“Returned it.”
“…Returned it?”
“The neighbor just asked me to take care of it for a few days.” Adrian took out two bottles of soda from the refrigerator. “I work in the police department, and there’s no children at home, so she’s more at ease.”
“You should have told me,” Jesse happily rolled up his sleeves and started working on the schnitzel. “Besides, it’s only cat sitting. Darling, you’re going to too much trouble.”
“Mrs. Fay treasures that cat, and it has to be taken care of carefully.” Adrian pulled out an envelope and carefully placed it on the table. “So I’ve asked for the appropriate cat sitting fee as well.”
Jesse raised an eyebrow. The envelope was frighteningly thin and not a bill by any stretch of the imagination. “A cat sitting fee?”
“A new recipe that’s from her family’s. It’s a snack that won’t start selling in the store until half a month from now.” Adrian lifted the corner of his mouth. “You’ve been looking forward to this. I’ve read it five times in the last week.”
Jesse sniffed the butter scent on the envelope, kissed the back of the other man’s neck, and narrowed his eyes contentedly.
‘A reassuring smell,’ he thought.

520 small paragraph, Bathroom Special (. ・ω・.)♡
[Oliver x Nemo]
Every time, after a shower, Nemo enjoyed having Oliver slowly dry his hair. This way he can surprise the other, lightly kiss the tip of the nose, in return for a few burning kisses.
He also liked to dig his fingers into Oliver’s hair, with a drying spell with a little combing, and lightly press the other’s scalp. Oliver’s hair was very soft, like touching wet silk.
The parrot thought sadly that new lovers would make out when they had nothing to do, but these two bastards did it every day, which made it want to go blind.
Thus, it secretly ordered magic heaters and put them in the most conspicuous place in the bathroom.
“I see what you mean.” It finally dawned on Nemo. “I’m sorry, Bagelmaurus. I haven’t been thinking about your feelings.”
Later that night, a screaming gray parrot came from the bathroom—Nemo sincerely held it down and rinsed it all over, blowing it dry vigorously with a hair dryer. Then he pushed and tossed the hair dryer and the gray parrot out the door and shared a bath with his lover as usual.
The gray parrot angrily pecked the hair dryer and patched itself up.
‘…Truly worthy of a Demon King,’ it thought sadly.

[Jesse x Adrian]
The two of them usually cast a drying spell after each bath. After listening to the grey parrot’s complaint of blood and tears, Jesse rubbed his chin and felt good about this kind of play.
“Love, tonight you can dry my hair.” In the large bathtub, Jesse kissed his lover’s spine and suggested pleasantly.
“Okay.” Adrian clutched a strand of blonde hair and didn’t refuse.
To enjoy the touch of his lover’s fingers more, Jesse decided to make himself bigger. He had mischief in mind—Adrian had just brushed his fingers on it, and Jesse suddenly transformed into his behemoth form. The knight commander’s hand slipped and made the drying spell too powerful. The behemoth’s long hair instantly dried and fluffed into a snow-white ball, revealing only the tips of his ears, mouth, and dark nose.
Jesse: “……”
Adrian: “……”
A soft chuckle escaped from the ever-smiling knight commander. “Want a do-over?” He stroked the soft fluffy fur in front of him.
He was then dragged into the tub again by the sad beast.

Valentine’s Day for Everyone
[Oliver × Nemo]
Oliver booked the most popular restaurant in the neighborhood three months in advance and decided to give Nemo a surprise.
As a result, the holiday had just arrived, and he found that Nemo had quietly booked the same one.
In order to live up to each other’s feelings. They happily switched tables and ate two dinners under the complicated eyes of the clerk.
Neither ordered wine. They drank all six cans of grape juice, pretended to be drunk, and decided to split the difference in gift-giving.
The gray parrot stayed home all night, and neither of the two jerk-off owners returned.
Bagelmaurus: (expletive)

[Jesse x Adrian]
On holidays belonging to lovers, lovers in Alban hung wreaths woven with golden flowers on their doorsteps and prayed to Zenni for a smooth relationship.
Jesse decided to observe Adrian.
Adrian didn’t hang a wreath in the morning, and Adrian didn’t hang a wreath at noon.
Jesse wilted on top of the church all afternoon, bought the wreath, and carried it, only to see a rose wreath hanging on his doorstep.
“No one uses this kind of wreath, so it was difficult to find and was delivered late. Anyway, it’s for you, so it’s not customary,” Adrian said.
The star didn’t flicker today either.

One of the very few things I dislike about this is that with the setting suddenly being Modern, instead of continuing in the 10-40 years after, Ann can’t join their shenanigans in these extras. It made a lot of sense for her character to let her die when her time came, but I wish she could still show up because now she is the only main character who is missing and I miss her. Having these set to back then would also allow other side characters to be mentioned occasionally. The epilogue was very nice and fit the story well, and it’s good to know things are still going well even a thousand(?) years later, but.
Well, maybe I can write some fanfiction later
