Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle (魔王城でおやすみ)

Ever since the demon king abducted the princess,

the fight between demons and humans has intensified.

The demon forces deployed to all the lands were stationed on rotation to prevent burnout.

Open the gate!

What? Oh, shoot! They're back now?

Goodbye, peace and quiet.

--Welcome back! --You've returned!

The female unit has returned!

It's good. Now the princess will have people to talk to.

Yeah, that's true. She's probably a little lonely.

Now, time to search for a way to sleep well tonight.

"Indifferent"

Right. It'd be nice to have a different comforter.

All right, I'll head out to find one now.

"Quest"

"New Comforter"

Wow! This is the only place that doesn't reek of males!

"Fifth Night"

"The Princess and Female Warriors"

U-Um...

U-Um...

E-Excuse me...

M-My name's Harpy.

"Harpy"

M-My name's Harpy.

My unit returned from deployment today.

Um, I'm interested in human culture, so I'd love to chat with you.

Can I make it from anything in my room?

Oh, just hear me out, please!

E-Excuse me...

"No response. Like talking to a corpse."

I'd like the comforter to be about this big. On the smaller side.

She can't have that little interest in me!

No, it's okay! Human girls will definitely take the bait with this topic.

Yes, I'll entice her with girl talk!

Princess!

Princess, do you like anyon--

Annoying.

H-Her reaction...

She's just too embarrassed!

Which means, she must have a crush on someone!

Is it a noble hero?! Or forbidden love with a demon?!

Which is it of the two?!

"Wall of rejection"

O-Oh, come on, Princess. I won't tell a soul.

Hm? You seem to be having fun here.

"Demon King has appeared!"

Demon King!

Thanks for keeping the princess company.

Might as well talk inside, yeah?

O-Okay!

"Demon King sent out Harpy and departed!"

"What will the princess do?"

"What will the princess do?" "Fight" "Item"

"Run"

"Sleep" "Scratch" "Slap"

"Scissor Guillotine"

"Scratch"

"Princess's special Quilladillo needle glove"

"Princess's special Quilladillo needle glove"

You're getting between me and my new comforter.

"Harpy takes 200 damage"

No!

Now, I can finally go find materials for my comforter--

Please, wait!

You... You don't like me because I'm a demon, huh?

But, please. It's always been my dream to have fun girl talk

or have a pajama party with friends like human girls.

Though I'm a demon...

She's the first human girl I've ever talked to.

...I want to become friends with you!

"Feathery wings"

Say, do these wings come off?

Huh? No, they don't...

I guess they wouldn't. And forcing them off would ruin these gorgeous feathers.

They feel so soft.

As smooth as silk with just the right amount of weight.

On top of that, they're the perfect size for the season. Not too large.

How can I make these my comforter?

You. Me. Friends.

You really mean it?!

Th-Then let's have some girl talk--

--And now... --Huh?

We will now have a pajama party.

Yay!

U-Um, Princess. What about girl talk?

Shh. Be quiet.

Er, can I face that way?

Nope.

What wonderful bedding.

This is a real feather comforter.

Zzz...

"Quest Complete"

Found a feathery friend of a comforter!

This is definitely not a pajama party!

"Harpy"

Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle .

Why? Why must I be injured so?

It's this Demon Castle's fault.

It's because the Demon Castle's beds are too narrow.

It's definitely because of your sleep posture.

I want... a bigger bed!

"Quest"

"A Bigger Bed"

You see? So do you know of a suitable material?

H-Huh? The princess is asking me for help?!

Oh, the Forest Area has monster bird nests that might work!

The branches are nice and brittle...

She's clearly disappointed!

U-Um... There's also a cool rock slab in the Rock Area...

She had that look on her face the moment I said "rock"!

Oh, I see. That's why.

Humans aren't interested in branches or rocks!

"Extent of human words:"

"Extent of human words:"

"girl talk, pajama party"

At this rate, I won't be able to give her any good ideas!

Uh... What else? What else?

A good bed...

A good bed!

I know! How about a napping spot that was popular among winged demons?

We'd sleep atop the castle's symbol, the horns.

It's actually magically solidified cloud to keep it lightweight.

Cloud.

Yes! It was so soft that it became too popular and they banned us--

Exactly what I need.

Oh, no! I just spilled a castle secret!

I was so happy the princess seemed interested that it slipped out!

"Prepping"

"Prepping"

Oh, b-but you can't go!

Its high altitude is dangerous for humans.

Dangerous? Though you're accompanying me?

"Friend Gauge"

What? She's relying on me?

The princess... is relying on me ?!

Th-Then, how will we get--

Good.

Go.

"Mental image"

Go.

I've definitely seen this way of flying before!

Um, hang on. If you're going to sit between my legs...

Yeah.

...you want me to fly with my legs apart?

Yeah.

My quads are going to die.

All right!

We're taking off!

"Demon Castle Topmost Area"

"Sky Horns"

I thought my legs would get ripped out of their sockets.

Wh-What do you think, Princess? Pretty nice--

Lying down already!

P-Princess, how is it?

She probably doesn't actually think of me as a friend.

But I was so desperate...

I wasn't supposed to tell her about this place!

This spot I was lying on was soft. It's good!

Don't, Princess! The demon king directly supervises this--
