An Archdemon S Dilemma How To Love Your Elf Bride Volume 10

After accepting Lilith's request for a larger bath, Zagan begins the construction of a grand bath in his castle to reward the services of his subordinates and provide a place of relaxation for Nephy and the other girls. Life in the castle is as peaceful and noisy as ever. However, Bifrons' evil schemes are advancing toward them, and the mysteries of what Alshiera has been fighting against for so long slowly begin to unravel.

The culprit behind Nephy’s transformation into a little girl reveals herself. It’s none other than one of the Archdemons, Orias. Faced with this master of celestial mysticism, Zagan tests out his new power. Can he defeat another Archdemon? And why exactly has Orias done this? What is her secret? All is revealed in this volume of An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride.

Zagan is feared by the masses as an evil sorcerer. Both socially awkward and foulmouthed, he spends his days studying sorcery while beating down any trespassers within his domain. One day he's invited to a dark auction, and what he finds there is an elven slave girl of peerless beauty, Nephy. Having fallen in love at first sight, Zagan uses up his entire fortune to purchase her, but being a poor conversationalist, he has no idea how to properly interact with her. Thus, the awkward cohabitation of a sorcerer who has no idea how to convey his love and his slave who yearns for her master but has no idea how to appeal to him begins.

Nephy and Zagan have finally confessed their feelings to each other, but neither of them have any idea how to act like a normal couple. After getting some advice, Zagan finds out about a mysterious event know as a 'date,' and goes on a research trip in town where he coincidentally saves the blind therianthrope, Kuroka, a newly dispatched priest. At the same time, Nephteros discovers the truth of her origins and escapes to Zagan's territory while being pursued by Bifrons' chimera.

Nephy learns of Zagan’s impending birthday from Alshiera, which is information that Zagan himself doesn’t even know. Seeing this as an opportunity, Nephy leads the charge in putting together a surprise party for him, but with her past experiences being what they are, she has no idea how birthdays are celebrated. Meanwhile, Zagan also learns from Orias that Nephy’s birthday is coming within the month, and the two Archdemons decide to mark that day as Nephteros’s birthday as well. Much like Nephy, however, Zagan is ignorant of how birthdays work as he tries to plan a surprise for her. The entire castle is in a celebratory mood, but dark clouds loom over the horizon. Zagan knows of a terrible problem haunting Nephteros that has to be addressed before any sort of celebration is an option, and he still has no idea how to resolve it. What’s more, after a month of relative peace and quiet, Shere Khan and Bifrons finally make their move.

Having finally dealt with Shere Khan, a party is held to celebrate both the victory and Zagan’s birthday. Spirits are high all around when Gremory, who has been starved of love power due to her mission, declares the start of the Kianoides love power general meeting. Participants are dragged in, willingly or otherwise, and must recount love stories both recent and old to provide the granny with her requisite dose of sugar. Prepare for the most densely packed volume of sweetness ever to be published for this series to date!

After easily repelling the armored assailant who coveted the power of an Archdemon, Zagan finds she is actually a little girl, and a dragon! As punishment for attacking him, Zagan orders the little dragon to... help Nephy with her chores? Meanwhile, Chastille finds herself in trouble for refusing to take part in Zagan's subjugation. A new Archangel arrives in town, rumored to be after the apostate Chastille's life and looking to crown Zagan as his 500th kill.

On to the honeymoon! Zagan has decided to introduce Nephy to Orias both as a means to cheer her up from her anxieties of healing Kuroka's eyes, as well as to gain more information on Archdemon Shere Khan. However, Orias herself has vanished, leaving behind the message, "I'm going to retrieve Azazel's Staff." Thus, the two of them depart for the Holy Cut, the headquarters of the church, to chase after her. And in order to avoid any unnecessary suspicion, they decide to pose as a newlywed couple!
