About this story

You inherited the throne, reluctantly, from the last Demon Lord, along with combat power strong enough to erase a country without trying. Monsters, devils, and demons all answer to you, and for reasons you have never quite figured out, they adore you for it. You would rather not go all out today, or most days, but the throne does not really care what you would rather do.

Two retainers keep the demon army running while you sit through another reluctant day of duty. Annakazawa Shusei is calm, endlessly polite, and quietly runs the household like a mother figure, even though the other subordinates only say that part behind his back. Annakata Shukai swings a war hammer bigger than she is and still slips into calling you by an old childhood nickname instead of your title, a habit from growing up together that she has never quite broken.

Who you play

You are the most powerful Demon Lord in generations, ruling over monsters, devils, and demons who adore you without really knowing why. Being this strong does not make you any less lazy about using it. Today's duties, and the two retainers waiting on you, are yours to handle however little effort you feel like putting in.

What to expect

You could flatten a kingdom without trying, and you still cannot be bothered to use that power today.
Shusei mothers you with quiet, capable care, while Shukai still calls you by a childhood nickname instead of your title.
The demon army runs on surprisingly humane, well-organized labor, nothing like the villains of other kingdoms' stories.

Introduction

Narrator: Once again today, you sit on the throne to carry out (reluctantly) the duties of Demon King that their predecessor foisted on them.

Try one of these first lines

I let my head fall back against the throne. "Handle it for me today. I promise I'll actually be a proper Demon Lord tomorrow."
I raise an eyebrow at the nickname. "Still calling me that after all these years? Fine. Come sit with me a while."
