All who lived in Ente Isla knew of Satan, ruler of demons.
His very name was synonymous with terror and cruelty
while he reigned over a demon realm teeming with creatures of the night.
He had four trusted generals:
Lucifer, Adramelech, Alciel, and Malacoda.
Satan's ambition was to conquer the human world
and build there a land of peace and prosperity for all night's creatures.
However, a lone hero named Emilia stormed the Devil's Castle,
sacred sword in hand.
So you're the "hero"...
King Satan!
Tch...!
Hear me, humans! I shall leave Ente Isla in your hands today.
But know this: I shall return to subjugate you and all of Ente Isla!
I won't let you get away!
And as time passed...
After Emilia, Satan, and Satan's right-hand man Alciel disappeared,
the five-continent federation of knights conducted a large-scale operation
to mop up the remnants of Satan's army on the central continent.
Meanwhile, a lone figure entered the masterless Devil's Castle.
Where did you go wrong, I wonder?
The Devil is a Part-Timer!

The Devil Screams in Sasazuka
Sadao Maou
This must not continue!
Shiro Ashiya
Don't just start shouting, Ashiya! What's the issue?
The issue is whether our current state is acceptable, Sire!
Urushihara! What do you think of these circumstances?
Say what?
You mean how Satan, ruler of demons, is working part-time under the name "Maou,"
while Demon General Alciel is playing househusband as "Ashiya"?
No, I mean how you, Demon General Lucifer,
have become a NEET and are straining this castle's finances!
Save the rest for later, Ashiya.
It's already hot enough in here without a commotion.
And that fan is too ancient.
Shouldn't you do something about that instead of yelling at me?
I bet it's driving up the energy bill.
You don't get to talk.
You're the one endangering the Devil's Castle budget
with all your eating, not to mention your wasteful Jungle purchases!
I told you, that's research material.
What "research" consists of playing with animals on a deserted island?!
Again, it's too hot.
Indeed! And heat makes one thirsty!
Just look at this!
Barley tea?
This is all we have left. Who last drank tea?
Just so you know, it wasn't me.
I am aware, Sire. The question might as well be rhetorical.
Urushihara!
Why didn't you make more tea after almost emptying the pitcher?!
All you have to do is put a packet into some tap water!
You're always like this. You never put anything away, you—
Okay, hold down the fort.
I'm going to work.
Sadao Maou
Shiro Ashiya
Have a pleasant day, Sire.
Thanks.
Emilia the Hero!
Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?!
Ridiculous. You were so loud I didn't need to eavesdrop!
The Devil and two demon generals were sitting in this tiny apartment with no AC,
arguing over who should make more instant barley tea!
Did you come here to mock our poverty?
Meanwhile, you're basking in the AC every day at work and at home,
you eco-destroying hero!
It's not my fault that my apartment came with AC.
It's a reasonably new, energy-efficient model, and I set it at 28°.
I've got nothing to be sorry for.
Damn it! How dare you blatantly flaunt your higher standard of living!
What is it? Is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
It couldn't be...
Well, no time to argue with eco-destroying heroes.
I'll be late if I don't hurry.
Later, Emi!
At any rate, we must stop making His Majesty shoulder all the burden
of earning income for us!
Therefore, I plan to stop only working one-off jobs,
and search for a job which offers me regular shifts!
Okay. Go for it.
However, this invites the danger
of my consistently flawless housekeeping falling behind!
And so, Urushihara, you must step up.
Why me?
I'm about to put you through housekeeping boot camp.
Good morning, Mr. Maou!
Hi, Chi. Are we on the same shift today?
Yes!
Oh, you got a new bike.
Yep!
It's what I've always wanted: the six-speed Bridgestoon City Cycle.
Meet Dullahan II!
Wasn't it expensive?
Suzuno bought it for me.
The original Dullahan's death was her fault, after all.
But it has inherited the soul
of the Dullahan, which nobly died protecting its master!
Behold, Chi! Dullahan's reflector!
You bought Maou a bike?
Yes. I braced myself for a steep cost,
but it only came to 30,000 yen, including registration.
It was quite anticlimactic.
30,000 yen is a significant amount!
Bel, you just moved here and aren't even working yet.
Can you afford that?
I gathered the Grand Hoshin Church objects I brought from Ente Isla
and sold them at Mugihyo.
What is it, Emilia?
Just now, I felt someone watching me.
The Devil seemed worried about something earlier, too.
Could another assassin have come down from Heaven?!
Sariel could be after the sacred sword again!
I doubt that.
At this point, the archangel Sariel has gotten quite...
My beloved!
You from MgR's and I from SFC, two irreconcilable organizations,
are the very Romeo and Juliet of the fast-food industry!
You take this one, Maa.
Hello, may I take your order?
Ten large Big Mag meals with fries and cola, please.
...big.
Big?
Thank you very much!
He's gained weight.
Yeah, that'll happen when you buy ten large meals every day.
I'm glad he's contributing to our sales,
but I really need him to lay off the gaudy bouquets.
He flusters the other customers.
Welcome to MgRonald's!
Here's a kids' menu. Please, help yourself.
Thank you.
What would you like, Kentaro?
Um...
Is something wrong, Mr. Maou?
It's just, as I was leaving home...
No, I shouldn't discuss it here.
First, we'll put today's laundry in the washer.
Then while the washer is running, we'll vacuum.
Understood?
Yeah, yeah.
One "yes" will suffice.
Hey...
Where did you buy this? Or more like, where did you find this?
And why a semi-automatic?
Aren't fully automatic machines the standard these days?
Semi-automatics have more advantages than just their low price point,
the biggest of which is that they aren't controlled by computers.
When you consider the total amount of water and detergent used,
they're by far the more economical choice for small but frequent loads.
And being able to wash and spin-dry simultaneously is huge.
We can divide things like towels, underwear, and colored clothes
into different loads, saving time without damaging the fabrics—
Okay, advantages, I get it.
So how do we use this thing?
For starters, the washer is on the left, and the spinner is on the right.
After you put in the clothes, you turn this dial to set the timer.
I think you put shirts in this bag, right?
Stop! That's wrong.
Never forget to undo the buttons at the cuffs.
How's it "wrong"? I don't see the difference.
The buttons are right where people tend to sweat.
If you're not careful, the buildup will shorten the shirt's useful life.
Do you hear boring conversations like this every day?
It's all just fabric!
Hold it! That's too much detergent!
Yes. Today's is more esoteric than usual, though.
This much per ten liters of water is plenty.
What's the real difference between "fully automatic" and "semi-automatic"?
Well, I've only ever used the fully automatic kind...
But wait, there's more.
Later, we'll have to take in the dry clothes,
fold them neatly, and put them away.
Watch closely. T-shirts should be laid sideways like this
and then the sleeves folded in equal widths on the right and left...
Lastly, you bring the bottom up to the neck.
Well? Are you listening to me?
I sensed a presence just now.
A presence?
Hey, could it be... a Blattella germanica?
Bla...
Blattella germanica, you say?!
No, that's impossible!
I've personally seen to it that the Devil's Castle is perfectly defended!
No one could possibly invade it!
It might be a Periplaneta fuligiosa, then.
You'd better not be saying that just because you don't want to do chores!
I have to run to the library and the supermarket.
Take in the laundry and finish cleaning before I get back!
Thank you very much!
I finished cleaning the washrooms.
Thanks, Chi.
Maa, I know it's a little early, but you can head home, too.
Mr. Maou, are you busy after work today?
No, I don't have any plans.
Oh, good.
In that case, is it okay if I visit your apartment for a bit?
I want to show these to Miss Suzuno.
Oh yeah, I forgot the Bon Festival was coming up.
These are the flax stalks you burn to guide your ancestors, right?
Oh wow, you know about them!
Yeah. We came to your world around this time last year,
and we were researching magics and rituals like crazy.
Miss Suzuno says she's never seen these in person,
so I promised to bring her some.
Got it.
But...
It may be best if you don't come today.
Why?
I have a bad feeling.
It's not picking up anything.
This is the problem with cheap products...
Changing the bag is a pain anyway. Let's call this good enough.
I knew it was—
So you've finally shown yourself, Blattella germanica!
It's no use! A vacuum nozzle is no match for Blattella germanica!
Sheesh, this apartment has no useful weapons for these situations!
You won't escape this time.
There's a Periplaneta fuligiosa, too?!
Of course it rains now...
Shoot, I didn't bring an umbrella.
It's a sudden shower, so it should pass soon.
Should we wait it out in the break room?
No, I'm more worried about my apartment than the rain right now.
Would you like to share my umbrella, then?
But Chi, if you come with me now, there might be—
It's no problem! I want to help you, Mr. Maou!
Ashiya's gonna be pissed unless I wash these again.
Blattella germanica and Periplaneta fuligiosa both ran off somewhere,
so I guess I'll do this first.
Urushihara!
C-C-C-Cockroach!
Do your worst!
Stay away!
Miss Suzuno!
Light of Iron!
You're pretty pathetic for a demon lord.
I wasn't scared!
Anybody'd be startled if one jumped at him like that!
Well, apartments this old are bound to have them.
I never see cockroaches at my place.
Don't say "cockroach," I hate that!
It's a creepy word somehow!
Our household uses their Latin names,
Blattella germanica or Periplaneta fuligiosa.
At MgRonald's, we call them "Taro."
Really?
Yeah. I guess you hadn't heard yet.
It's like how we call the toilets "washrooms."
We can't say "cockroach" in front of customers, after all.
We're all ready. Time to light the fire.
Come to think of it, does the Devil have ancestors?
Seriously? Demons don't grow on trees any more than humans do.
We have ancestors. Parents, too.
You have parents?
Well, there aren't many demons high-minded enough to mourn their ancestors,
so there's no way to figure out who mine were.
I can barely remember my parents.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't pry.
Nah, don't sweat it. I'm the one who decided to talk about them.
Crap, everyone hold on to something! It's the Gate!
An apple?
Even the demon realm doesn't have apples this huge.
Why do weird things always happen when I'm with you?!
Because you're stalking me!
You're a stalker hero!
I-I am not!
I only came here today to give Bel some information,
since she said she'll be staying here for a while!
Follow you around? You wish, Mr. Devil in an Old Unislo T-shirt!
Shut up! Look at you, wearing flashy clothes in this damn heat!
You don't rate more than a Unislo sports bra, Miss Flat-Chested Hero!
That's it. I'm decapitating you right now!
W-Wait a second! No sacred swords! We can talk this out!
Not interested!
Sire!
What about Chiho Sasaki?!
He hugged me... Mr. Maou hugged me...
He hugged me!
It's no use.
I authorize you to kill this enemy of women.
Don't encourage her violence—stop her!
Oh crap, I forgot you're on Emi's side!
I never thought our plans for world conquest would be cut short
because of an insult involving a Unislo sports bra...
Prepare to die!
Wha...
What is this?!
Mr. Maou hugged me!
Light of Iron!
Wh-What's going on here?
All right, we'll be going now.
Don't you dare!
Bel and I have nothing to do with this! You guys handle it.
Morning.
Y-You can speak Japanese?
Umm... widdle bit?
What are you?
Alas Ramus.
Alas Ramus?
Yeah! Alas Ramus!
Where did you come from, Alas Ramus?
Where do you live?
I... dunno...
How about your father and mother?
Fa? Mo?
He means your papa and mama.
Papa... is Satan!
I see, your papa is Satan!
Huh?
Huh? Me?!
Mr. Maou! You have a child?!
No, Chi, wait!
Did you have a wife and kids back when you were the Devil? Is that it?!
No, I didn't! Calm down!
Th-That had better be the truth, Sire!
Et tu, Ashiya?!
An illegitimate heir is a serious matter for the demon realm!
How could you keep her secret even from me?!
Hold on! Why do you all take it as given that she's my kid?!
O-Okay, I know—who's your mama?
Mama.
Huh?! M-Me?!
Papa.
Mama.
Her father is the Devil and her mother is the hero?
M-M-M-Miss Yusa?!
Papa! Mama!
