In the great sea of Ignora lay
five islands in the shape of a cross.
Four pointed in each cardinal direction around a larger central island, to
form Ente
Isla.
The islands protected by the gods.
All who lived in Ente
Isla knew
of Satan, ruler of demons.
His very name was synonymous with the terror and cruelty that rule his demon
realm.
As well as the creatures of the night that thrived in its
depravity.
Satan was an ambitious ruler.
He sought to crush the humans and their world. Thereby, created a land of peace
and prosperity for all night's creatures.
Four trusted general serve the devil. Adramelech, Lucifer, Alciel, and
Malacoda.
These four great demons launched merciless attacks on the four
continents.
However, a lone hero rose up against them. Sacred sword in
hand.
Along with a band of comrades, the hero crushed Lucifer's army to the
west.
They went on to defeat Adramelech in the north, and Malacoda in the
south.
Then the federation of knights led by this hero invaded the central continent,
where the demon load kept his castle.
ALCIEL:
Ugh...
ALBERTIO:
Raah!
(ALCIEL: Damn it...you wretched humans!)
(EMERALDA: Drag demons into the netherworld!)
ALCIEL:
Ah! (How dare you?!)
OLBA:
Ooohh... haa... Hah!
ALCIEL:
(Are you well, sire? Out of my way!)
ALBERTIO:
EMERALDA:
Ah!
(ALCIEL: Apologies, Sire. I have failed. These human forces over came my army.
Tis only a matter of time before your castle shall fall)
(SATAN: I never dreamed one human "hero" would have the ability to force us
into such dire straits)
(ALCIEL: Sire, I suggest we withdraw for now and regroup. All is not lost
yet)
(SATAN: Hear me, humans! I leave Ente Isla in your hands today! But know this!
'Pon my return, you and all of Ente Isla shall be crushed!)
---
(SATAN: Where are we?)
(ALCIEL: Are you all right? Are you well, Sire?)
(SATAN: I shall be, Alciel. First, we must find a place to
heal)
(ALCIEL: Yes, Sire, but this place seems awfully noisy. Do you know where we
are; what is this world? Could it be---Look at you, Sire! Why have you taken
that form? It is small!)
(SATAN: What? No, it can't be... These are human hands...?)
[A car ran fast nearby Satan and Alciel]
(SATAN: Calm yourself, Alciel. Be careful not to use magic)
POLICEMAN A:
Hey kids, excuse me a sec. Mind if we talk to you?
(ALCIEL: Do not speak to me so familiarly, human! Do you wish to die right
here?)
POLICEMAN B:
Oh, looks like we got a couple of foreigners.
POLICEMAN A:
Well, let's make this a good story. Do you understand the words I'm saying
right now?
(ALCIEL: Yet still?! Even not speaking our language... I am a demon, a user of
magic who could easily kill---)
(SATAN: Alciel. Do not use magic right now. We must learn this world. We shall
cooperate)
POLICEMAN A:
Do you think it may be hot, huh? Dressed up like that.
POLICEMAN B:
I believe they are cos-playing, sir. It's weird though, we don't give much
their kind in this neighborhood.
POLICEMAN A:
This is Sasaki out on patrol. I'm gonna couple of youths with minor injuries
here.
(ALCIEL: This seems to be some sort of carriage. But, strangely, it does not
need horses)
(SATAN: It does not seem to be powered by magic either. I wonder how it
works)
POLICEMAN A:
Now, boys, would you mind join us in the car? You're not in trouble,
so---
(ALCIEL: How dare you! Do not presume to touch me, lowly human! Know your
place, inferior creature! Die, fool!) Wraaah!
POLICEMAN A:
OK, you two, behave yourselves.
---
POLICEMAN A:
Er...this is katsudon.
Okay?
SATAN:
Katu-don...
POLICEMAN A:
Yes, that's right. Yes.
SATAN: They
coated animal flesh in some sort of grain, and fried it in hot oil, then a main
gold bird embryo with placed on top. And the whole things heated even further
in the fish broth...
POLICEMAN A:
Look, I'm not supposed to provide food, but I can't let to injured kids go
hungry. Well, this call it my treat, heh heh heh heh...
(SATAN: More information about this world. Now tell me
everything)
POLICEMAN A:
Huh? ...of course...
(SATAN: Answer my questions)
---
(SATAN: You here, Alciel?)
[Alciel was eating katsudon when Satan entered into his interrogation
room]
(SATAN: Alciel...)
(ALCIEL: Satan, 'tis you!)
POLICEMAN B:
Hey not! Son, you kids just waltz on in here?!
SATAN:
(...)
POLICEMAN B:
Uh...right...
ALCIEL:
(You are here, King Satan...I am glad you are all right and found me,
Sire)
SATAN:
(I used hypnotism to gain info about this place from a human. Apparently, this
world is called Earth)
We find ourselves in one of Earth's
nations. An archipelago, which they called Japan.
We stand now it's capital of Tokyo.
And, this building is someplace they call it police-station.
These police are evidently a state institution maintaining public
order.
ALCIEL:
I see, Sire. And, what is that substance on the table they fed
me?
SATAN: Katsu-doon.
It is extremely common food in this country.
ALCIEL: Katsu-doon...yes,
that name has a powerful ring to it. This is of great
interest.
SATAN:
Incorrect. Now focus, food is neither interesting nor important right now. In
this world, we are only fantasy. These humans don't consider things like demons
or even the devil to be authentic. No one believe magic legitimately
exists...
ALCIEL:
They do not believe in magic?! How did they survive?
--
ALCIEL:
I see. So, because of the insufficient of magic in this pathetic realm, we are
unable to retain our demonic forms...
SATAN:
Yes. But I never imagine stripping of magic case this...Out physical change
makes me wonder a humans might actually be the foundation for all living
creatures.
ALCIEL:
Surely, you jest, Sire. I'm in certain this merely an effect of this world and
the Gate.
SATAN:
I still retain a fraction of my magic, but, just quite an effort to stem its
outward flow. How was it with you, Alciel?
ALCIEL:
Hum...mmm...Ahh! ...Looks it work, Sire.
SATAN:
No. I highly doubt this carriage was conjured with magic.
ALCIEL:
Alas...
---
SATAN:
If I adjust the amount of magic I released, I won't run out for a fair amount
of time. The undeniable problem is currently have no way to amass more.
However, if Earth is familiar with the concept of magic, even as imaginary, we
may have a chance. The pass left to us now is to discover that method, and
regain our natural strength. Until then, we have no choice but to live in this
world, and obey these human's rules.
ALCIEL:
What a cruel reality this is...
SATAN:
Indeed. But, we might as well do what we can.
---
SATAN:
We must obtain official records, that what is called a war-d office.
Ugg...
ALCIEL:
(You are changing colors)
PUBLIC OFFICE CLERK:
Huh? ...Okay...here...
SATAN:
Good. Next, we create accounts at that bank. To do so, use
this.
ALCIEL:
What is that paper?
SATAN:
'Tis this country's currency. I borrowed it from that police officer human.
Right before, I created our own personal seal. I have to say I'm rather proud
of my self...
ALCIEL:
As am I...
BANK CLERK:
Here you are.
SATAN:
Good. Last way, we must secure base of operations from a real-tor.
...(We are) two...Searching...(We) need hou-se.
REALTOR A:
Sure, what sort of home? Did you have in mind, sir?
ALCIEL:
(He understood you!)
SATAN:
(Calm down! Seriously, Alciel! A little language acquisition is nothing for me;
nothing I say!)
ALCIEL:
Nn-nn.
SATAN:
(Yes,) okay, bro! (I) am final getting the grooving!
---
REALTOR B:
The landlady dislocation is a very admirable person. If I may speak frankly,
she said she wants to set an example by taking on persons of unknown
background, like the two of you fine gentlemen.
ALCIEL:
(This is complete...)
SATAN:
(...shit. Even I can tell that)
ALCIEL:
(Well, at least it is a two story house, with six rooms; that is good, Sire,
right?)
REALTOR B:
You'll be renting room 201 here.
ALCIEL:
(Is he for real? Just one room?)
SATAN:
(We should be grateful it has a roof. Certainly when you compare it to the
Devil's Castle---)
MIKI:
Good afternoon.
ALCIEL:
(It is...human?)
MIKI:
You two adorable creatures are the new rental applicants,
correct?
ALCIEL:
(It can speak!)
REALTOR B:
This woman owns these apartments, and lives next door.
MIKI:
The name is Miki Shiba. And, kanji that's
with characters meaning beauty and radiance. Ah, but please, boys, call
me Mikity instead.
That's so much more fun...No?
SATAN AND ALCIEL:
(Totally...)
---
ALCIEL:
Sire, are you sure we should waste our time here?
SATAN:
Remember, and this world they like to say "patience is a virtue." In the end
this castle might be a welcome change of pace.
ALCIEL:
Oh, Sire...
SATAN:
We have no other choice, but we will move forward from
here...way...
ALCIEL:
Ah! King Satan?! Sire! King Satan!
---
SATAN:
Urk...I didn't realize this body was one that required food.
ALCIEL:
Well, we do have a human body now, Sire.
SATAN:
That gruesome "IV drip" thing will cost as much as a full month rent on the
castle! You know what that's called?! "Rubbing salt in a wound!" This what the
nerve certainty...
ALCIEL:
That uncanny landlady spared us a good deal of trouble, Sire. She tell me that
Japan requires resident to carry something called health
insurance.
SATAN:
Never mind her. Money is a clearly essence in this human's society, so we need
to posses it somehow. I cannot afford to expend more of my magic. So, that
means we really only have one option left to us.
ALCIEL:
And, what is that, Sire?
SATAN:
(Gulp)
---
ALCIEL:
Curses! Did it wrong again...
SATAN:
You idiot! Resume forms do not grow on trees, you know! Okay, my new name is
Sadao Maou.
ALCIEL:
And mine, Shiro Ashiya. Do you find this name strange, Sire?
SATAN:
It's a little late to ask that now! We've already made both our
IDs!
---
ASHIYA:
King Satan.
MAOU:
Yeah?
ASHIYA:
Might I suggest you to put a little more thought into your
spending.
MAOU:
Give me a break! I put thought the spending! Summer's around the corner, so we
need a fridge. And, owning a washing machine is cheaper than a laundromat in
the long run. And, I have to have the bike to get to work.
ASHIYA:
It's not what you purchase I concerned me, Sire. I just think pay in
installments would be better choice than buying them all at
once.
MAOU:
Well, I hate loans.
ASHIYA:
Don't 'so' me, Sire.
MAOU:
Now go all you want! But Installment plans come with interesting fees. And, I'm
gonna pay for something I can touch with my own two hands.
ASHIYA:
Impeccably word it, Sire, but do tell me...How are we supposed to make it to
payday on milk, jelly and all way we have cucumbers too?!
MAOU:
I see your point. But calm down, it's not like we don't have any money left, I
swill have some cash. I'll be fine until payday. Don't forget they give me lots
of food at work too.
ASHIYA:
We're gonna die...You propose we eat burgers and flies three times a day until
you get pay? What is this, Super
Size Me?
[If ain't take?] high-calorie, high-cholesterol item such a young age? I'm
looking forward to next ten years from now that I hope you don't die
prematurely of a lifestyle-related illness before we get home! I
must...
MAOU:
Stop freaking out! I gotta go to work!
ASHIYA:
Wait, Sire!
MAOU:
Lecture me later!
ASHIYA:
That's not it! You forget your umbrella!
MAOU:
Let's roll, Dullahan! Yah!
ASHIYA:
...And he's off. Guess, I'll get ready too.
