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

Once, in times when humans and demons mingled and coexisted,

heroes traversed treacherous roads

to rescue their abducted princess from the Demon Castle.

We've looped back around?!

Having trouble, heroes?

That voice!

Haven't found the exit of Hell's Abyss Labyrinth yet?

My castle is still a long way from here.

Demon King!

Curse you! Return our princess!

Look at yourself struggle.

Wait, Demon King!

Dawner, you okay?

While we dawdle here, the princess is...

I, Dawner the Hero, will escape from this labyrinth

and save the princess from the Demon Castle!

How's it look?

Glow o' Wisp

Any more spots or scuffs?

Killer Rhino Beetle

Nope! Upon my honor as part of the cleaning unit!

These are the phoenix's first eggs in a century, so security will be tight.

Can't leave a single stain or scratch.

P-Princess?!

Hm?

"Second Night" "The Princess and Furious Fluff"

Princess, what are you doing there?!

We just cleaned that spot! What in the world--

Hr hr-hr hrg.

Huh? What'd you say?!

Hr hr-hr hrg.

I despise bugs

A little earlier...

I got a bug bite!

How awful. I wish I hadn't noticed.

It's so itchy now that I'm thinking about it.

This never happened back home.

Goodereste Castle, Princess's Room

Princess, good morning.

Wide open

Wide open

Jail cell, so it's wide open, too

The Demon Castle is far from airtight.

At this rate, my skin will be polka dotted in a few days!

I know! A mosquito net!

I had a mosquito net back home.

All right. If you lack something, make it.

"Quest" "Mosquito Net to Avoid Bug Bites"

But I'll need a pretty big piece of fabric.

Something far larger than the Ghost Shroud I used recently...

Princess! How dare you cut down one of my henchmen?!

Monster Shroud

I don't need the face and hands.

Is she actually a demon?!

Good, I have string, too.

But where can I tie this?

Oh, over there!

Phoenix Nest

But how to climb up those walls...

Plippety-pop. Plippety-pop.

Princess, I'm here to take your dishes, meow!

Stamp Cat

Climb up... climb up...

Plippety-pop. Plippety-pop. Hup.

Oh, how could you? Shoes aren't allowed in here!

Oh, I'm sorry, meow! I'll remove them right away, meow!

Huh? Why'd you snatch them, meow?

Let me borrow them.

Wait, what?!

Let me borrow them.

What?! You lied about no shoes here, meow!

Let me borrow them.

Presently

Guards! Call the guards!

We must report this!

What?!

The princess is headed for the phoenix nest?!

Yes! The egg guard is on the move!

Hang on, why would the princess do such a thing?

Phoenix eggs are valuable healing items.

Could it be that the princess is doing this to help the hero?!

The hero's that important to her?!

Move out! Stop her at all costs!

Yes, Your Majesty!

All units, report!

Egg guard unit 1!

The princess is about to reach the phoenix eggs!

What?!

Those are the first eggs in a century! Don't let her get them!

I'm getting married after this battle.

Idiot! Don't rush into things.

What?! Don't joke about that stuff!

The princess plans to steal the eggs and give them to the hero!

Seize her at all costs before she touches the eggs!

There she is!

Will we make it?

Dammit!

Good.

--Oh? --Hm?

--Huh? --Wha--?

Hm? My bug bite healed.

Amazing healing power of phoenix eggs

Sh-She's climbing down!

--What?! --Huh?!

What was she up there for?

Who said she was going to steal them?!

What?! Wanna go?

Yeah, come on!

Bring it!

Now look at that!

A mosquito net every bit as magnificent as the one back home!

Quest Complete

Good job!

I don't know what all that noise is outside,

but I can't resist this temptation!

To sleep feeling so secure. How marvelous!

It's like I'm in my own little world under this net.

When I wake, my skin will remain unblemished.

I worked hard... today...

Zzz...

The princess! What happened to the princess?!

Er...

The princess has returned to her room.

Huh?

But seriously, couldn't we afford to give away one egg?

Shh!

Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle .

The exit!

Oh!

Area Boss Sand Dragon

Oh, no! An ambush!

Get down!

I won't let you demons get your way!

Dawner!

It got Waker!

Let's retreat to the castle for now!

In times when humans and demons coexisted, humans were by far the weaker being.

And so in order to survive, humans feared demons

and avoided confrontation with them.

With one exception...

Mm... let us begin the elders' council of the Demon Castle.

Forest Elder

Now, about this newly harvested sleeping potion--

Hm?

Ah, hello.

Wh-What?!

Hey, w-w-wait--

Princess!

We need that for our meeting.

Come now, will you return it?

Aw, I wanted to try out the new sleeping potion to test its effects on sleep quality.

I have no other choice.

I shall obtain an object from the item storage to improve my sleep.

"Quest" "Item to Improve Sleep Quality"

Unauthorized entry to the elders' council.

96th Demon Castle code violation.

Escape from prison. 97th Demon Castle code violation.

These are...

...fluffy mattresses!

Restricted Area

All right. To better sleep quality.

Here I go!
