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

Man, patrol duty sucks.

Yeah. And it's not like anyone's gonna cause trouble

this close to the demon king.

If anyone's that stupid, I could take 'em down with just a finger.

Wh-Who are you?! This is the demon king's...

Rawr!

"The Monsters of Terror Look Too Ugly!!"

THE MONSTERS OF TERROR LOOK TOO UGLY!!

Lady Doux went into the forest all alone?!

B-But that's dangerous! We must bring her back at once!

It's not unusual for her to go on walks by herself.

Why are you so panicked?

There was a report from my subordinates who were on patrol.

The Monsters of Terror, Gauche and Urun, have appeared.

What? But they're...

Yes. There were once ancient monsters called "gorgons"

who petrified those who looked into their eyes.

They are descendants of gorgons.

Those who look into their eyes freeze in fear

and become unable to move as though they were petrified.

And they're in the forest?

Jahi.

Yes, Your Majesty! Lady Doux! I'm on my way!

Huh?

Hmm... Doux's not scary?

Is something wrong?

Look at this, Little Bro.

This little shrimp's so petrified she can't even speak.

LITTLE BROTHER GAUCHE BIG BROTHER URUN

Looks like we're on a roll, Big Bro.

Heck yeah! It don't matter if they're demons or humans!

There ain't nobody who's not terrified of how ugly we are!

But it ain't no fun if they're just quiet.

If you're gonna be scared, at least be a bit more dramatic about it.

Scary!

Hey, hey! How do you do that thing you did?!

Doux wants to be scary, too!

Th-Th-This little shrimp's got a few screws loose!

She's happy about being scared!

L-Let's get outta here, Big Bro!

Tell me!

Let go of me!

Big Bro!

Doux wants to be scary, too!

Huh? What are you—

What a cute little creature.

Big Bro's been brainwashed?!

Hup!

Look, Little Bro!

This little shrimp's taken a liking to us even though we're ugly.

You've got lots of eyes!

Y-You're not gonna fool me!

Y-Y-You can't fool me like my Big Bro!

C-C-C-C-Come at me!

I'll make you regret it!

Wait, wait!

"THE FRIENDSHIP WALTZ" KANATA NAKAMURA COMPOSITION AND ARRANGEMENT: TAKERU TAKEMIYA DOUX, URUN, GAUCHE

Scary, scary

So fun, so fun

Doux's name is Doux

Yup, yup.

It's nice to meet you.

Yeah!

Runtatta, runtatta

The friendship waltz

Runtatta, runtatta

The friendship waltz

Let's play together forever and ever

The friendship waltz

Lookee, lookee!

Are you okay?

I know!

Hup... I'll get you some water!

Doux has so much energy.

They do say that a child has endless energy when they're playing.

When was the last time we played with someone like this?

I wouldn't mind playing with Doux forever.

But we'd probably cause her trouble if we were with her forever.

Yeah.

Not to mention, once she grows up,

she'll see how ugly we are and be scared of us.

It's best that we're just alone.

Because of that... we should probably bow out now, Little Bro.

You're right. More importantly, what's Doux doing?

Doux is practicing scary faces! Rawr!

Oh, yeah. You mentioned that you wanted to be scary.

Why do you wanna be scary?

Doux wants to be a full-fledged demon.

But I'm not really good at doing bad things, so Big Sister Jahi said...

No matter what trials I give her, there's been no change in Lady Doux.

If she'd at least try to look or act scary...

she might actually change.

So I've been trying to make my face scary.

But Doux isn't very good at that either.

Everyone's got something they can't do.

I've got tons.

Just keep practicing so that you'll be able to pull it off someday.

Then who knows? Maybe it'll actually happen.

Okay! I will!

Who would've thought a little kid would be so worried about something?

Right, Little Bro?

I'm actually really worried right now, too.

What?! Little Bro?!

I realized something when we were playing with Doux.

It's been fun being with just you, Big Bro,

but it's even more fun with the three of us together!

So that means it'd be even more fun if we were with even more people.

Gauche, you...

Okay. Then let's go play with everyone!

There's lots of humans and demons who live in the castle.

If we all play together, it'll be even more fun!

W-We can't do that.

Everyone'll just be scared of us.

Huh?

Because we're so hard to look at.

You're easy to look at though.

Huh?

Well, look how big you are, Big Brother Gauche!

You'd be easy to find if we played hide-and-seek!

Doux?

Oh.

Hard to look at...

HARD TO LOOK AT

HARD TO SEE

EASY TO SEE

Easy to see?

True. There ain't anyone easier to see than him.

You got us there!

B-Big Bro.

Let's just go, Little Bro.

Don't worry. If we scare 'em, we'll worry about it then.

Your big bro's got your back.

Big Bro... Doux...

Yeah... you're right!

Save us!

So scary!

Mr. Urun! Mr. Gauche!

We got to be scary!

Yup, yup. You guys were pretty scary.

Right, Big Bro?

Okay, how about... this next?!

Yeah!

Like this, Mr. Urun?!

Yeah. Very good, very good!

Okay, I'll do the next one.

One more time!

Look, Jahi!

Not only was she not in any danger,

but she even befriended the Monsters of Terror!

Perhaps Lady Doux is already amazing just as she is.

Thunder, eh?

Thunder... Oh, that reminds me.

Did you hear that on stormy nights with thunder and lightning,

a wailing ghost appears?

Seriously?!

We've already got Monsters of Terror. Why'd something like that appear, too?

Hmph. How stupid.

Something's definitely wailing, all right!

C-C-Calm down. Who's scared of any ghost?

I'll make them regret it!

Big Sister Jahi!

Huh?

Lady Doux. Is the thunder...

Goodness. What a fussy little ghost.

Honestly.

You're completely fine with the Monsters of Terror but scared of thunder.

I guess you really are still just a child.

Goodnight.

THE SPIRIT TOWER IS JUST TOO EXCITING!!

"The Spirit Tower Is Just Too Exciting!!"

So, Jahi, how are Doux's trials going?

I'm terribly sorry.

Because I'm so inadequate...
