Yashiro no Maoh / Demon Lord of "Yashiro" ch1

p2
>>Zero distance from the Demon Lord!!

>I'm Shishibe Yashiro.
>I'm very much your typical average company employee, but for some reason,

>a demon lord is fussing over me.

p3
>>From the author of "A-Channel"!!
>>An exhausted adult gets from thorough support from a powerful and pretty demon lord<3

p4
>Demon Lord: Maou Shaitan Gehena
>Um...

>Yes?
>It's a little sweltering. Could you maybe back off now?

>I'm not giving off any heat...
>No... I mean your pressure...

>Hm... Well, I don't mind moving aside
>so long as you quit that "game" you're playing.
>I won't.

p5
>I'm telling you to stop!
>How long do you think you've been playing that thing!
>You're managing my playtime now...?
>What are you, my mom?

>I already get enough nagging from my boss and his power harassment day in and day out.
>Don't order me around during my time off too.
>...Power harassment?

>Company employees rarely get a day off... and they don't get to complain.
>That's what it means.

>Hmm... If you serve me, I'll give you all the breaks you want.
>How about it?

p6
>I'm sure you
>will make a fine subordinate.

>How much will you pay me if I serve you, Maou-san?

>?
>Isn't the honor of serving me enough?

>That's even more exploitative than my current job... Not even worth considering.
>What...!?

>Fufu...
>To reject my kind invitation like that!
>How amusing! I've taken a liking to you!

p7
>Didn't you already take a liking to me?
>Well I like you even more now!
>Hah...

>Yashiro... Is there nothing you'd like me to do for you?
>If there's anyone you want me to punish or eradicate, just say the word.
>I'll commit any kind of destruction.
>How disturbing. You're a demon lord, alright.
>Just the senitiment is enough.

>I could ask you the same thing.
>Isn't there something that you'd want me to do for you?
>Like "I want you to undo my seal"... or something.
>Fu... Finally asking about that, huh?

p8
>Long ago... your ancestor sealed my power away,
>leaving me and my demons weakened ever since.

>In order to regain my power, I've been frantically searching for those carrying the blood of the one who sealed me,

>so that I may undo this seal and plunge the world into chaos once more...

>And then finally...
>I found it.

>That's right... It's none other than you,
>Yashiro.

p9
>...Then you must hate me so much that you want to kill me, right?

>Indeed.
>I planned to torture you, make you undo the seal, and then torment you to death.

>At first, at least...
>...?

>But you smell good.
>Don't tell me...! This thing wants to eat me...!?

p10
>It's, how do you call it... "relaxing"?
>You have a calming scent that blows away all of my stress.
>So I'm like catnip to a cat to you!?
>Back off...!!

>Is it some sort of countermeasure my ancestor put in place to keep the demon lord from harming their descendants?

>So I gave up on killing you.
>Thanks for that.
>So what now?
>...

>How about we form a contract?
>A contract?

>If I can satisfy you, you'll undo my seal...
>That kind of contract.
>Eh...? Satisfy me?

p11
>That's right!
>I'll use my power to make you happy!
>What's with the sudden line that sounds like a proposal!?
>I don't even know how to undo your seal!

>This way, you'll be satisfied!
>I'll be satisfied!
>It's win-win!
>It'll be great!
>You're not listening...
>Like a cat that's high on catnip.

>I wouldn't undo your seal even if I knew how.
>You said you'd "plunge the world into chaos once your power came back" just now, didn't you?

p12
>...
>If I'm able to satisfy you...

>then there's a chance you might change your mind...
>and undo the seal as thanks, isn't there?

>I sincerely doubt it.

>Fufu. A pretty good idea if I do say so myself.
>Well then, I'll be in your care, Yashiro.
>Hah...

>...But y'know,
>my place is kinda small.
>Ah, I thought that was a prison cell.
>So this is your castle.

p13
>A ridiculously huge monster like you couldn't possibly live here.

>Your cape has been knocking stuff over every time you move

>and your horns keep poking through the ceiling.

>Are you...
>trying to kick me out?
>At this rate, the repair fees are gonna be ridiculous.

>I'm a demon lord, you know?
>That's all the more reason.
>You must have somewhere way better to live than this prison cell...

>...Let me take back what I said about this being a prison cell.
>No, it's not like I wanted you to take it back.

p14
>You're trying to kick me out... aren't you?
>Make life difficult for me, why don't you...

>...I'm starting to feel sorry for the poor thing.
>Can't you... do something about that form?
>Since you're a demon, you should be able to change it into a more manageable size...
>Ooh! You know your stuff!
>As expected of the descendant of the one who sealed me away.

>No, it's just a trope you see often in manga and anime.
>Manga? Anime?

>Ooh... So this is that "manga anime" you speak of.
>That's just a manga.

p15
>Hmph...
>So in other words, I simply need...
>to take a human form!

p16
>How about this?
>A child...

>Because of the seal, my power has diminished.
>To put it in human terms, I'm as powerless as a woman or child.

>...

p17
>What are you doing?

>Woah, that was close.

>I can't let myself be tempted by this form...
>Her true form is that inhuman thing.
>So in reality it's...

>something like this...

p18
>Yep, that killed it.
>What did?
>Well,
>I'm just back to my senses thanks to you.
>?

>Fu... Satisfied, are we?
>Well, a little.

>It's inconvenient, but no matter.
>I'll stay in this form for a while.
>I've got to conserve energy too.
>They have words like "conserve energy" in the demon world too?

>...Hah, that's fine.
>My motto is to accept whatever comes my way, after all.

p19
>I shall obtain everything I desire.

>I look forward to seeing you kneel before my power.

>Hahahahahaha
>By kneel, she means "be satisfied", right?
>Is that demon lord speak?

>>Will the day Yashiro falls for the demon lord's cute form ever come!?
