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

I was half dead.

I failed yet again to make Lady Doux a cruel and vicious demon.

What exactly am I supposed to do?

No, no.

I guess I'm stuck.

Maybe I'll talk to Yairya about it.

What?!

Hey, all of you!

What's wrong? What in the world happened?

You can't be serious.

YAIRYA – FIRST-CLASS WITCH

Yairya!

At this rate, we witches are finished...

And Jahi...

it's all your fault.

What?!

"The Witches' Potions Work Way Too Good!!"

THE WITCHES' POTIONS WORK WAY TOO GOOD!!

The witches are finished because of us?

What do you mean by that?

Take a look at this.

This is me...

Back then, His Majesty sent us to

invade various locations in order to unify the demon world.

That's just it.

Huh?

DEMONS

Because you all expanded our territory,

more and more demons who were in the castle

were sent out to various locations for development and maintenance...

As a result, we ended up having to do the work around the castle

that the demons were supposed to do!

We're supposed to concoct various potions,

but we're all exhausted.

We're at our limit.

I don't even know what to say to that...

I'm sorry.

But I guess I feel bad for you, too.

What do you mean by that?

Heave ho, heave ho.

Heave ho... Heave ho...

Lady Doux, what are you doing here?

Here you go.

One, two, one, two.

Sweepy sweep.

Your trials with Lady Doux aren't going well, right?

Sweepy sweep.

Sweepy, sweepy sweep.

Sweepy, sweepy sweep.

They aren't.

Yairya, I have a favor to ask.

Is there anyone who can make a potion that'll make Lady Doux evil?

MUS – JUNIOR WITCH

Hello!

You must be Mus. I'm sure Yairya has already filled you in, but...

Why are you so surprised?!

B-B-B-Because I told her that I couldn't possibly do this and turned her down.

What?!

You can't even make a single potion? You're finished!

STAB

I-I'll do it! I can do it!

Please just give me a little more time!

S-Sure... If you'll get right to it...

O-Okay!

Hm...

There's no official formulation for a drug that draws out one's evil.

But there's someone named Mus that's completely self-taught in her research.

There's only a slight possibility, but she might be able to do it.

It's just she's a bit different...

Let's see... Let's see...

Is she actually going to be able to do this?

I-It's done...

Ooh!

It's probably a bit bitter though.

GURGLE GURGLE GURGLE...

Doux can eat green peppers, so it's okay!

Bitterness aside, is this even drinkable?

It's made only with things good for your body...

B-But...

You need to be more cautious, Lady Doux!

There's a reaction! Sh-She should be evil now.

How do you feel, Lady Doux?

You dummy-ass!

Lady Doux said something rude?!

You chicken butt! You macaroon!

I'll krill you!

Though she seems to be just a tad off...

But we're going in the right direction! Can you adjust the formula?

Y-Yes!

I'm super angy!

I've never seen Lady Doux like this before.

If we continue adjusting the formula...

It's done. Here.

It's about time, you slowypoke!

Yay!

Wah! She multiplied!

But why?!

Boom!

Let's play!

I'm hungry.

Wh-What kind of formula adjustment could possibly lead to this?!

I-I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

She should turn back with this!

There are so many...

Douxs!

Why are you just complicating this even more?!

I-I'll adjust it some more!

Pretty!

My eyes are flickering...

Th-This should work.

Now we're strong!

So close! Now, if she was just evil!

O-One more time!

DWAHAHAHA

FWAHAHAHA

Well, at least her voice sounds more evil now.

I-I'm so sorry!

Well, at least Lady Doux returned to her normal self.

I-I'm so sorry...

Let's calm down a bit. Could I get some tea?

R-Right away!

H-Here you go.

Thanks.

Wait, is this...

It's a potion!

I'm so sorry! I mistook it for tea!

I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!

Why didn't you check more carefully?!

Huh? We've switched bodies?!

Now something's been summoned!

Wow! It's a Mr. Octopus! Mr. Octopus!

Wha?!

C-Curses...

I can't do anything in this body.

H-Hey, Mus!

Do something about this!

Mus!

I'll make up for this by cutting my stomach open!

Wait no! That's my body!

Damn it!

W-We're finally back to normal...

I knew I couldn't do it...

There's no way I could do it!

There's so much I don't know even when I'm making one potion!

I'm so useless, and all I do is cause trouble...

I'm just...

Doux had a lot of fun though!

Huh?

There were a lot of me, I transformed, and then there was a Mr. Octopus!

Can all witches make lots of potions this amazing?!

N-No! I can't even make them the way I actually want...

Everyone above me can make potions without making a single mistake.

All of mine are incomplete or failures.

Even today...

Then let's go ask them how to make them together.

What?!

I-I-I couldn't possibly! Even if I go, I'm just going to cause trouble!

Let's go!

W-W-W-Wait! Lady Doux!

I couldn't possibly!

Wait! No!

I can't believe you actually went to Mus.

Wha?! Yairya, how dare you?!

Well, I guess I have no choice.

You've brought me this incomplete potion to make someone evil,

so you must've come to get advice, right?

U-Um, uh... yes...

I guess that's the case.

I just keep messing up and...

I'm sure it won't go well...

And I'm sure you're busy... And I'm sure I'm bothering you... So I'll just...

If you squirm anymore, I'm putting you into a pot.

I-I'm so sorry!

If you want to show me something, straighten up.

Lady Doux, this way.

Yay!

H-Hey! You're using that here?!

Th-Th-Th-That might be dangerous!

It's fine. Even if something happens, I'm here.

What just happened?

Th-This is...

I can feel my fatigue melting away.

What's going on?

I don't really know why, but my fatigue's all gone!

Same here! My body feels so much lighter!

But why? Also, what was all that smoke just now?

Wow!
