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

There was once a demon more terrifying and evil than Demon King Ahriman.

If someone made him angry, humans, demons,

and entire countries would be utterly destroyed.

He was considered an unstoppable living calamity.

The previous demon king, known as the King of Destruction...

His name is Zareth!

"The Previous Demon King Is Too Scary!!"

THE PREVIOUS DEMON KING IS TOO SCARY!!

My father, the previous demon king Zareth,

is about to celebrate his 10,000th birthday...

Yes, Your Majesty!

My father was feared as the King of Destruction.

If he comes here and sees Doux like this...

Th-That would not be good, Your Majesty.

So you think so, too...

I'm terribly sorry!

You've left me in charge of Lady Doux's education,

and yet, she still remains too kind.

Yes...

Doux is just too kind.

If all else fails, please allow me to take her

on a special trial: a demon social studies trip.

DEMON SOCIAL STUDIES TRIP

Demon social studies trip?

I will have Lady Doux

witness the atrocities of several evil demons over several days.

Oho!

Then Lady Doux will be influenced by the other demons' hearts

and shall awaken to her own evil heart.

A demon social studies trip?

I will have you learn what exactly demons are on this trip.

This is a special trial just for that.

Special!

These are trapping specialists. They are called goblins.

It is their job to capture the humans that we use in the demon world.

Humans will be coming through here soon.

Try capturing one, Lady Doux.

You can use any method you please,

but you should try beating them to

soften them up for capture.

It's fun.

Goblins are some of the cruelest to humans out of all demons.

If she sees that, I'm sure the evil heart within Lady Doux will awaken!

Here they come! Get 'em!

Hurt them!

I'm scared!

Yay!

I caught a human!

Er, good! Well done, Lady Doux.

Again! I wanna do that again!

Next, I'm gonna catch some goblins!

Huh?

Humans! Let's catch them together!

Huh?

Wh-What are you talking about?

We don't have time to waste on such nonsense!

A FEW MINUTES LATER

Catch them!

Run away! Run away!

Playing is more fun than beating!

They are black magicians.

Black maggie-shuns...?

They are demons who use magic

to create calamities and illnesses to make humans suffer.

We were just about to cast a spell on a nearby village.

We'll teach you a spell that will make your hair stand on end, Lady Doux.

Yay!

Torturing humans with various spells brings black magicians the utmost joy.

I'm sure if Lady Doux sees that, she'll also...

Now, let us cast the spell.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

Jelly... beans?

No, no! This letter is "zue."

It's "Zuraibe Leusa."

You're so funny, Lady Doux!

It's gonna take her five days to learn a single page.

But this might be more fun than cursing people.

This is a death plant. They devour humans down to their bones.

We feed humans who defy demons to them.

The death plants are especially voracious today.

If she hears the pitiful screams of the humans

being melted down to their bones by a death plant,

I'm sure she'll...

A FEW MINUTES LATER

Hey! Stop playing around!

Your job is to eat humans!

Take that!

Yah!

Hup!

Take that and that!

Take that!

Yay! I hit them! I hit them!

That's it, Doux!

Yay!

Demons are supposed to be evil

and yet, they keep falling to Lady Doux's pleasant nature.

I see...

So that's why you came to me.

Please...

You're the only one I can rely on at this point, Lady Setia.

Goodness, how pathetic.

Are mermaids demons, too?

Mermaids are demons who lure in sailors with their song.

We get to sing?!

Yes.

Humans whose hearts are captivated by our song

willingly throw themselves into the sea

and sink to the bottom.

Big Sister Jahi!

Oh no! My mind's weakened, so I've been affected by the cursed song...

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Oh? Looks like a ship has shown up at the perfect time.

Now, come sing with me, Lady Doux.

Let's sing the cursed song.

Okay!

Hey!

What's going on?!

Hi!

Doux's song is so soothing for the soul.

Hi!

Even Lady Setia...

Why does this always happen?!

Papa! I'm home!

Ah, you're back!

How many special trials did you do?

Seven!

I see, I see.

Well, Jahi? Has there finally been some progress?

As I feared...

I have failed as Lady Doux's attendant.

We had her accompany various demons performing heinous deeds,

but there has been no progress.

That's not true! I'm sure Doux has changed as well.

Isn't that right, Doux? How were the special trials?

What did you think of them?

Um, well...

I thought I wanted to be more like the other demons!

Lady Doux!

Is that so, Doux?

Yeah!

Isn't that great, Jahi?

Yes!

All of my troubles until now have finally become worth it.

Now I'll be able to face my father.

Because everyone was so nice!

Huh?

I want to take care of my friends like the goblins...

The black maggie-shuns helped me learn some new words...

I want to sing pretty songs like the mermaids...

Then there's Big Sister Jahi who's always really nice

and always with me as she gives me trials to do...

Doux wants to be a demon just like all of them!

I'm... nice?

Me...?

No, Doux... You've got it all wrong.

Pardon me, Your Majesty!

What is it?

Lord Zareth has arrived.

What?

But he wasn't supposed to arrive yet.

"The Previous Demon King Is Too Much of a Doting Grandpa!!"

THE PREVIOUS DEMON KING IS TOO MUCH OF A DOTING GRANDPA!!

Father!

You should've told us that you were arriving early so we could greet you.

No need.

It's been a while, Ahriman.

I hadn't been able to return to the castle after hurting my back.

Nor have I been able to advise you properly.
