The Demon King's Daughter Is Too Kind!! (魔王の娘は優しすぎる!!)

Papa! This one!

Let's see. Ah, Yun Yun the Servant and Pudding the Witch.

You really do love this book, don't you?

Yup!

I dunno why, but when you read me this book,

I can sleep real good!

Well, that's good.

All right, Papa will read it for you, so make sure you sleep soundly.

Yay!

Your Majesty!

Why are you shirking your duties and putting Lady Doux to bed?

It's still noon! Noon!

Don't be such a spoilsport.

There's no harm in coming to see Doux during her nap time, is there?

There is! You still have a mountain of work to do!

I'm sorry, Doux.

That sound...

Doux!

What?!

Oh, I've missed you so, Doux!

Just look how big you've gotten!

Wh-Wh-Wh-What is the meaning of this?!

I-I'm Jahi!

Huh?

Ah! So you've returned from your world conquest, Dahaka!

Darling!

Th-This is the great Azi Dahaka?

The dragon of calamity who can bring about

catastrophes powerful enough to destroy gods that is

conquering the world by herself.

And she's Lady Doux's...

mother?!

THE DEMON KING'S WIFE LOVES HER DAUGHTER TOO MUCH!!

"The Demon King's Wife Loves Her Daughter Too Much!!"

Dahaka...

How goes world domination?

Well, it didn't work out.

Even though we were apart, my heart as a mother grew even fonder...

And I even ended up feeling love for a human child.

I had no time for conquering anything!

Yes! I know exactly how that feels!

Okay, so they're both doting parents.

Lady Doux?

Doux! There you are!

I'm home! Come here! It's your mama!

Hello...

D-D-D-Doux?

Wh-Wh-Why are you acting like we've never met before?

Ah, I feared this would happen.

What do you mean, Your Majesty?

Doux doesn't remember Dahaka.

It was inevitable.

Dahaka left to conquer the world before Doux was old enough to remember.

Wh-What is that?!

Th-This is bad! That's Dahaka's power at work.

Depending on Dahaka's mood, she can bring about all kinds of great disasters!

What?!

Why is there suddenly a storm?!

Run away!

I-It's all right, Lady Dahaka!

I'm sure Lady Doux will remember you very soon.

Jahi is right.

Oh, I know!

Why don't you play with Doux like you used to?

That might help her remember.

Th-That's a brilliant idea! Now, let's go, Lady Dahaka!

You're right!

She's sure to remember me if we play together.

That was close...

But it appears that Doux is unsure how to interact with her mother.

I hope she is able to remember something as they're playing.

This takes me back.

We used to walk on the beach like this.

Do you remember, Doux?

Nuh-uh.

I-I see...

Oh, dear...

Dahaka! Perhaps she'll remember if you two have a little race.

O-Of course.

I guess Doux is able to walk by herself now.

All right! Let's race to those rocks!

I had forgotten.

She...

has absolutely no idea how to hold back.

I made a lot, so eat up!

You used to love these sweets, so I made them for you all the time.

Do you remember?

But...

they're really yummy.

I see...

She said that she would like to be alone for a while.

I see.

I'm sure that it was quite a shock that Doux didn't remember anything.

Or rather, perhaps it's regret rather than shock.

Huh? What do you mean?

Before, Dahaka was a single dragon bent on world domination.

But she had an evil side that wanted to take over the world

and a gentle side that brought blessings and healing to the world.

And since I needed the powers of her evil side,

I used a bracelet called the Heavenly Ring of Evil...

and split her into two beings, one evil and one good.

And they are... Doux and Dahaka.

What?!

Y-Y-Y-You never told me that before!

I'm sure you're surprised.

But that means neither of us are technically her parents.

However...

I thank you, Ahriman.

Now I can concentrate on taking over the world without any distractions.

That's right...

I have no need for a good heart!

Mama!

Papa!

Huh?

It was Doux's first words that made us family.

I-I had no idea that Lady Doux had such a secret.

And so, I decided to raise Doux into a proper demon.

But Dahaka believed that

her love for Doux would get in the way of her ambition for world domination,

so she left on a journey alone to take over the world.

I'm certain that she regrets that decision.

By the way, where is Lady Doux?

Doux...

Are you okay?

I'm fine. I was just having some trouble sleeping.

Then Doux will read this for you!

What?

I brought a picture book!

If I read this, you'll calm down.

Let's see...

"Once upon a time, there was a servamp named Yun Yun

and a m-musician? Named Pudding.

Pudding always"... Um...

Let me see it. I'll read it with you.

Really?!

Let's see...

"Once upon a time, there was a servant named Yun Yun

and a magician named Pudding.

Pudding always did bad things, and Yun Yun was always crying.

Despite how they were, they didn't actually dislike each other.

Then one day..."

This book...

So when Papa reads me this picture book,

even after I fall asleep, someone reads it in my dreams, too.

I couldn't remember who that was...

but now I remember!

Yes... Right.

Okay, how about I read the rest of the book for you then?

Yay!

Okay, go change into your pajamas.

Okay!

"LET'S READ THE PICTURE BOOK" KANATA NAKAMURA COMPOSITION AND ARRANGEMENT: NAOKI YANAGISAWA DOUX

There's someone just beyond my fluffy dreams

I wonder who it is

They have a really, really kind voice

As they speak to me

Only my fuzzy memories came to me before

But now, I think I remember

Mama, Mama

That word fills me with joy

Mama, Mama

I want to call to her even more

"And so, Pudding the Witch disappeared into the night sky.

The end."

Hmm?

Welcome back, Mama!

I'm home now, Doux.
