The Human Experience

The fact that there’s no tickle content for this anime whatsoever makes me so sad. Lee!Maou is just so adorable to me lmao. I just had to write this.

Warnings: This fic contains tickling so if that’s not your thing feel free to keep scrolling. Also some spoilers for season 2.

Summery: Maou Sadao learns what tickling is.

“Seriously Maou why am I even trusting you to take care of Alas Ramus!” Emilia cried in exasperation.

“Well excuse me for not having experience with fatherhood!” Maou cried back.

Alas Ramus started crying again, just when they had calmed her down.

Emilia decided to come over and help out so that Alciel could get sleep after babysitting her for the day (after all Emilia and Maou both had jobs to be responsible for).

“What the hell are we supposed to do?” Maou groaned. “Nothing seems to keep this child happy.”

Emilia contemplated for a bit on what to do. She looked back at memories from her father, and what he would do to make her feel better if she was sad or upset. Suddenly an idea came to her.

She began wiggling her fingers against Alas Ramuses belly and the child stopped crying, but instead began giggling, and squirming around.

“What magic is this?!” Maou wonderd in shocked awe.

Emilia rolled her eyes. “It’s just tickling you dork.”

She suddenly noticed the purely confused look on his face, and it dawned on her. He didn’t know what tickling was. Well, of course he wouldn’t. He was literally the king of Demons. How would he know?

She then softened her expression. “Tickling is, is when you lightly touch or prod someone, and it causes them to laugh. It’s a human thing. That’s the basics of it anyway.”

Maous confusion seemed to lesson some, but not by much.

“Well she seems to like it.” Maou commented, watching how Alas Ramus squealed with delight. Emilia shrugged at that. “It is generally supposed to be pleasant. Though I learned that in human history, it was used as a torture method or punishment.”

“Woah seriously?” Maou seemed really interested in this now.

“Have you experienced it before Emi?” He asked the magenta haired girl out of genuine and innocent curiosity. Emilia blushed slightly but nodded, “Yes, my father would do it to me sometimes when I was little. Usually to make me feel better if I was sad or upset.” She then looked at him, “I’m guessing you’ve never been tickled before.”

Maou shrugged. “Not that I can remember. Well… I don’t even know what it is.”

“Hmmm…” an idea began to formulate in her head.

She then looked at the purple haired baby and smirked. “Hey Alas Ramus, wanna tickle dada?” Alas Ramus smiled widely and giggled.

Maou looked at the two of them. Their expressions indicated that they were plotting something not so nice.

“Um.. g-guys whatever you’re planning, please… don’t.”

Suddenly Emilia used her killer reflexes and agility to pin him down. She soon had him straddled, with Alas Ramus next to her.

“E-Emi!” Maou cried. Was she finally ready to kill him? He tried struggling and pushing her off but it was no use. She had him down good. Anyway she was way stronger physically.

“What are you doing?!” He asked.

“I’m just giving you the human experience.” She told him with a mischievous grin. And oh boy did he not like that.

“So Maou… is this human body of yours ticklish?”

“I don’t even know what the hell that meahahahaha!!!” He was interrupted by his own laughter as she began clawing at his sides, immediately grabbing at her wrists “Ehemihihihi whahahat ihihis thihihis!!!!” He cried as he failed to pull her hands off.

“It’s tickling you doofus.” She told him, though she wasn’t really annoyed anymore. If anything, she found this pretty endearing that the king Satan was actually ticklish.

“Ihihihits weheheheird!!!” He said through his soft laughter.

Emi then went for his belly, and his laughter increased tenfold.

“AHAHAHA EHEHEMIHIHI!!!” He threw his head back trying harder to pull her hands off. But the tickling weakened him and he eventually just lay limp on the floor as he laughed.

“If only I knew before that the great powerful king Satan, leader of the demons, could be so easily taken down by a few light squeezes or scratches.”

Believe him, he was just as surprised as she was.

“Hey Alas Ramus want in on this?” Emi asked the child with a grin.

Alas Ramus giggled and nodded with a smile. She poked a tiny hand at his ribs. Maou shrieked and slammed his arms down.

Alas Ramus jumped back from the reaction and began to cry.

“Ugh seriously?! Look what you did Maou!”

“What I did? That baby made me do it!!!” Maou shot back.

“Well it’s up to you to make her feel better. I think I know how though…” she then began digging into his ribs and he shrieked again, this time falling into hysterical cackling. He squirmed and writhed on the floor.

“EHEHEHEMIHIHIHI NOHOHOHO PLEHEHEAHASE!!!” He cried.

Alas Ramus stoped crying and began laughing along with her dad.

“Awww is the big bad demon lord to ticklish for his own good???”

Maous face was already red enough as it is.

“STOHOHOHOP DAHAHAMIHIHIT!!!”

Emilia saw how desperate he was. Even if she felt he didn’t deserve it in the slightest, she allowed him mercy.

“Ok then fine.” She got off him, tending now to Alas Ramus who had fallen asleep from tiring herself out.

Maou was left lying there trying to catch his breath.

“T-that was intehense…” he said, with annoyance in his voice. “Human bodies really are odd.”

[ticklefits]

the devil is a part timer headcanons that nobody asked for

- everyone is literally a ticklish bunch , there is not one person who isn't

- to everyone's surprise ( & his utter dismay ) , maou's form is the most ticklish

- ashiya's only tickled maou once because he was being the biggest brat over finances , but quickly after , ashiya felt guilty for overwhelming his leader and proceeded to beg for a proper punishment

- that punishment was pretty much revenge tickles and maou is a pretty sadistic ler

- urushihara is basically the house lee , whether it's because it's a punishment for something for he did or said ( which happens a lot ) or , to blow off steam ( because his laugh is loud and weird and cute and neither maou nor ashiya would admit to liking it )

- the only way the boys found out emi was ticklish was because chi accidentally grabbed her sides when she hugged her and it made her squeak & almost jump out of her skin

- the second maou opened his mouth when he saw , he had a celestial blade at his throat

- chiho is really really ticklish and she squeaks and squeals and squirms when she's tickled , it's a pretty cute sight . rika ( ? ) was the one to find out and she wouldn't shut up about how cute she was for at least an hour after

Yuuram in Novel 15

So, I made a promise to write one of these per day until next week. So here’s the end to the Seisakoku arc. It’s so nice to re-read it and find little things I never paid too much attention to before. I always include things I find interesting even if they’re not yuuram. Anyways, enjoy: Yuuram in Novel : 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17 

——————————————————————  Novel 15. ch.1 - So he uses majutsu anywhere but when Wolf wants to do it...-

"...If it's same as a game, then the zombie group must be weak against fire, right."

Wolfram who was standing next to me folded his knees. And soon the emerald green eyes were sparkling close to me. His fire techniques are magnificent. By controlling a fire beast effectively, he could burn down only the dead.

"Don't do it." But if I think about the nature of the locality, I couldn't let him do something unreasonable. "Why are you stopping me." "Didn't you say that magic doesn't work in the land of the Shinzoku." "But.." "Even if you have Gunter's protector, how can I let you do such a reckless thing!" "Boys! Enough of your playing around."

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 - Drunkenness and lies -

Maybe it’s just me, but it feels as though Adalbert’s powerful muscles shrivel quite a lot, looks like he’s a man who easily makes mistakes because of alcohol. Wolfram, too, uses poisonous words unbefitting of his pretty face to add salt to the wound,

“Oh dear, don’t tell me you want to say you were drunk then? That can’t be possible, people call you the Grantz boss, how could you have gotten drunk on one barrel of wine? By the way, you also said you don’t sleep while hugging baby bears anymore.”

(...)

Afterwards, according to my investigations, it seems there was never ‘a promise on the ship’. Wolf replies with a straight face, “I was just winging it.”

He even tells me, “He’s the man who betrayed Shin Makoku, and stood on the humans’ side. I really hate my uncle and Grantz, rather than giving Adalbert wine, I’d rather pour the highest quality grape wine into the river.”

To think he could tell such a lie so easily, seems like he’s matured too.

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 -Telepathically - 

“Yuuri, you still plan to…”

Wolfram tries to say something, but Lord Weller puts a hand on his shoulder, looking at him and shaking his head. As expected of brothers, they understand each other telepathically even without words.

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 -Henachoko -

“It is indeed rare for the king to appear at the frontlines himself.” “Is that so?” “Other than Shinou, I heard there are only two others who went to the frontlines of their own volition.” “Surely Yuuri will be praised by the poets in the future as a brave king, huh? Although you're actually such a henachoko.” “Henachoko… That’s right, it’s because I’m a henachoko that I can’t stand this atmosphere.” Wolfram leans back slightly and makes fun at me, since I haven't been able to think of a decent strategy until now, I don’t even have the energy to retort him.

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 -Wolfram isn't fit to do anything risky, okay!-

Murata isn’t all that heavy either, the only question is if anyone can ride a galloping horse up to him at a hair’s breadth away and then reach out to grab him.

Of course, this job can’t go to Wolfram. He’d probably lose it if I told him directly, but the position required is very challenging, and you’d need to pull up a high school student with one hand. Therefore not only would you need good riding skills, you also need powerful arm strength.

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 -Wolf gets confused by Yuuri's English words, but can understand what they're talking about?-

Wolfram was watching our conversation from a side, and finally breaks the awkward moment, “So all you need is position?” With his hands on his hips, he tilts his upper body back, his tone sounding as though he understands the English we’re speaking. “In that case, just make her our goodwill ambassador. Won’t it be fine if you make this old woman Seisakoku’s goodwill ambassador to Seisakoku right now?”  (continues below)

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 -This bit is really interesting, it starts with Yuuri feeling dejected because no one knows he's the maou and treats him like a normal person and he can't make decisions, when Wolf steps in..-

“It is indeed very hard for you, since you’re an intermediate.”

“Mn? You’re not calling me a beginner anymore?”

“Well—You’ve been on the throne for quite a while, after all.”

He blinks his eyes, as emerald as the bottom of a clear lake, and says,

“In other words, you've grown a little bit.”

“I guess there’s been a minor change. But in the time I changed from a beginner to intermediate, I still couldn’t come up with a solution to convince the people. Ah, man”

“Then, allow me to do what I can for the the king who's grown up.”

(....)

“Since your identity is false, of course your authority is electing an official isn’t recognized. Alright, turn around!”

I don’t know what he writes on the pale green slip, and he doesn’t seem to be bothered by how uneven my back is, either, writing and signing his name fluidly. I don’t care what you’re doing, but that really is very ticklish.

“Wolf, what are you writing…”

“I elect you as the Bielefeld territory’s goodwill ambassador to Seisakoku. See!”

“What?”

He waves the paper in front of my face. Having lived more than eighty years as an aristocratic heir, he seems used to homework like this, easily giving Venera a position.

“This is something we do commonly in the territory. Choose a suitable representative from amongst the people and honor them with a title in public, so that uniting the people will henceforth be his job, and he doesn’t have to come to us for some of the small stuff too.”

“Is that so~~ To think you’re so used to these things.”

“Although I’m a soldier loyal to the Maou in the capital, my job when I’m back at my territory is more like an administrator.”

“Are you learning how to be a good leader? What mature thinking—”

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.4 -The punch-

Wolfram walks up to me quickly, perhaps to help me out.

“No, I’m taking Ajira with me. Although I feel bad for asking him, I still need a translator. Although I think it’s not too possible, but Wolfram, um…”

“What is it?”

“Don’t you come with me now.”

Lord von Bielefeld narrows his eyes, saying in a calm voice,

“If milord just says the word, I would gladly go to the ends of the earth for you.”

He’s sounding all polite and respectful again, even though he knows very well I can’t handle him at all when he’s like this.

“Stop joking around, I’m going off to be a hostage, how could I possibly let you come along.”

“To be able to do even the slightest thing for Your Majesty, is my utmost pride and glory.”

“T-thank you for your kind intentions, but I can’t let you come with me, Lord von Bielefeld.”

I don’t know how many times I’ve come across this situation already. Once the other person treats me so sincerely, I get frustrated and impatient because I feel I need to repay in kind. In the end, I’ll either make it worse, or say a bunch of random things.

“My beloved officer’s life shouldn’t be sacrificed for me, but contributed to the country.”

“The two are one and the same.”

“It’s not like that, Wol…”

That moment just as I’m turning around to face him, a strong impact assaults my stomach, and I nearly stop breathing. My mind goes blank for about five seconds, and I’ve no idea what happened, only managing to kneel on the ground, groaning in pain. I try to take in a breath so hard, but I can’t do it.

“Wolf… What did… you do…”

“I’m sorry.”

By the time I realize that I had taken a punch from him, he’s already taken off my hooded cloak. I’m all curled up, lying on the sand, the pain making me hold my stomach, unable to breathe. It’s obviously already night time, yet my eyes are filled with a sea of red, my throat making a piercing sound, and still the air doesn’t enter my lungs.

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.5 -The punch’s meaning-

Maybe it’s because I’m too much of a mess, Conrad and Wolfram both reach out their hands to try and help me up, but I don’t need their kindness right now.

“Did I ask you two to do this?”

Maybe he didn’t expect me to ask so suddenly, because Wolfram seems to be frozen in shock.

“Whose idea was it?”

“Your Majesty.”

Conrad wanted to interrupt, but Wolfram gets there first, replying,

“It was mine.”

“Now you've done it!”

Before I even finish saying the words, I’ve already pulled him by the clothes on his chest. I don’t hold back at all, our faces almost colliding. His eyes look different than usual, because of the illumination from the torch.

"What's the meaning of that punch to my stomach, huh? Do you want a divorce? To remarry someone else?”

“... respect and affection”

“Liar.”

I took a punch to the stomach for nothing, and it’s been hurting ever since then all the way until now. If I don’t force myself to stand with my back straight, I’d probably be holding my stomach and crouching on the ground by now. If it weren’t for Yelshi watching from the side, I’d have done that long ago.

To be honest, I wanted to butt my head against his hard, but exerting myself now will only make the pain worse. That’s why I thought of admonishing him in public.

“I'll get you for this!”

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.6 -Just Wolf being awesome in battle-

(It’s that man!)

My features contort in pain, and I raise my hands to cover my ears. The truth is his thoughts don’t reach me through my hearing, so it’s pointless even if I cover my ears. His gaze goes past several rows of the resurrection group on the left, staring at that golden hair glowing a fiery red in the torchlight. But those emerald eyes, its color looking even more complex with red mixed in, are shining with a light even brighter than his hair.

Wolfram turns back deliberately, even smiling a challenge, then he slowly kicks the stomach of his horse, purposely taking off at a speed we can catch up with.

Seeing this act of his, Yelshi naturally takes the bait. From the cavalry to the foot soldiers, from the few living soldiers to the near two hundred zombies, his entire army starts chasing Wolfram.

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.8 -Mental image-

Wolfram and I, with two little girls grabbing our waists, walk slowly on the uneven stone steps. The salty sea breeze sure feels comfortable.

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.8 -Oh, come on! How cute is this!?-

“They did do something like a fortune telling before.”

The one who had his fortune told back then wasn’t me, but Wolfram. But back then not only weren’t they talking about weakening or whatnot, they even said he had a king’s aura, so surely that must have made him happy?

“Is what they say accurate?”

Hearing my question, Wolfram thinks back for about ten seconds, his arms crossed over his chest and his left leg stretched slightly ahead, a hint of a smile on the corners of his lips,

“No, it’s not accurate at all.”

“It can’t not be accurate!”

One of the twins, probably Freddy, seems really angry, and can’t help but protest.

—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.8 -And the most yuuram arc of them all, end with ... what else? Yuuram-

Just then Wolfram waves at me, so I leave the scene without replying. I really want to throw it somewhere, but I can’t just leave it alone either. That is the sealed, ominous Box that the mazoku destroyed, and sealed. I really want to forget about it, but I think about it with every step, and it presses down on my chest every time I breathe, making me gasp for breath.

“Is your stomach okay?”

As soon as we’re out of Saralegui’s field of vision, Wolfram immediately looks apologetic, even saying,

“Sorry.”

“Oh—That? Oh, right, Wolf, that punch really hurt! Although I was at fault too in the tunnel that time, you were wrong to hit me in the stomach. That is totally DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!”

Although it’s not serious or common, Wolfram looks surprised to hear an unfamiliar term. What a bother, since I’m used to talking to Hazel, I’m starting to use a lot of Earth terms now.

“DOMESTIC… what does that mean?”

“Uhm.... like 'in the country' or a 'product of the country', something like that”

“I already told you many times, I will formally ask for my due punishment once we get back…”

“No need, it doesn’t matter if it’s official or not. Any time”

He’s about to say something formal again so I pat his back hard without hesitation, and it gives me a feeling of reality, like “Ah—right here”. I’m here, and so is Wolfram.

“Because we’re already back.”

We’re all here, Conrad, Murata… Josak too.

“I can’t say for all of it, but I brought us back with my own strength.”

“Yeah”

The sea breeze caresses Wolfram’s hair, and he nods his head firmly. Then he turns around to face me, as I was still standing on the rocky side of the port, and with an extremely natural movement, he extends his hand to me.

“Let's go home, everyone is waiting.”   —————————————————————— Ahh... what a joy of a novel!
