Maou had noticed it a long time ago, but had never said it out loud, not because he didn't want to, well, just a little. But, because if he said it out loud, it would surely cause chaos immediately, in addition, he had to maintain his reputation as a demon king in front of his friends and acquaintances.

What had he noticed? That was the beautiful smile of the Ente Isla hero.

That smile he had rarely seen, but they managed to impact him greatly.

He couldn't be sure the first time he saw her, since he couldn't remember it well, but he could clearly remember two of those times.

The first was undoubtedly the moment they met in Japan, where he kindly gave her his umbrella and, as a thank you, she smiled at him. The second, I could say that that was the night of his "mistake" where she hugged him.

Although he could not understand why he found those smiles so beautiful, along with other expressions that he usually places, for example, when he blushes and has tears at the edge of his eyes.

For some reason, he always yearned to see more of those expressions.

It was a hidden desire and that he would never say, no one should know or as he said before, that would cause a lot of chaos with the people who knew him and Emi.

Little by little, he began to hear small laughs near him. He slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Emi laughing with Alas = Ramus. He said nothing and only devoted himself to looking at the girl's smile, although this one was not directed specifically at him, it had the same effect as the others.

He reached out and touched Emi's cheek, his reaction to her eyes was adorable. There was surprise and a lot of shame on her face.

- M-Maou? - stuttered Emi.

The green haired boy stroked her cheek lightly, and without thinking said:

- I like your laugh, you should do it more often ... -

- W-what the hell are you s-saying?! Are you still half asleep?! I idiot! - Emi could only scream and turn away the embarrassed look.

- E-eh? Did I say something? - Maou thought confused. - Ah ..!

Maou realizing what he was doing pulled his hand away from Emi's face.

- Does Dad also like Mom's smile? - Those were the words of Alas = Ramus who was sitting next to her.

Sadao began to analyze how he had ended up in such a shameful situation. Oh, sure. Now he remembered it. This day he had secretly planned with Emi to have a picnic for Alas = Ramus in a distant park where his friends did not find them by chance, They had settled in the shade of a tree and had eaten, so much so that he had fallen asleep on the cloth they had been on all that time, but now somehow his head was on Emi's lap.

- E-eh? - Maou looked at his daughter somewhat embarrassed. - H-How did it end like this?

- Dad looked uncomfortable sleeping, so Mom help Dad to be more comfortable. - Answered her "daughter" with a smile on her face.

- I-i did it for Alas = Ramus! so get off me! - Said Emi more embarrassed than she already was.

- A-Ah! Yes! Sorry! - Without thinking twice he got up, sitting now. His face felt slightly flushed.

- Don't you think saying this to someone ... - Emi reminded him.

- O-Okay ... -

They were both silent.

- Dad - The little girl called.

- W-What's up Alas = Ramus? - Maou asked watching as his little girl approached him.

- Dad, do you like Mom's smile? - The girl answered with another question.

- A-Ah?! - Maou was alarmed and blushed a little more.

Had he said it out loud?

— A-Ah... I-i...

- Alas = Ramus likes mom's smile. - Said the girl with silver hair.

- ... - Maou couldn't help but smile at those words. - Answering your question ... I will only say that a little, since very rarely does she smile sincerely when Dad is around so she should do it more often.

Maou ignored Emi's embarrassed shriek.

- And Mom? - The little girl asked the lime-eyed girl. - Do you like Daddy's smile?

- ... A-A little ... - He answered, diverting his gaze.

Alas = Ramus showed a big smile to his "Parents" and they did too.

Without a doubt, the smile they loved the most was that of Alas = Ramus and they would do everything possible to protect her at all costs.
