Yesterday was a tough one, wasn't it?
Yeah. But we can't afford to get complacent unless we wanna lose more of our customers to Sentucky.
You don't wanna go to Greenland, do you?
Substitute manager Maou Sadao!
Maou-kun!
Could you make your way to Fushima tomorrow?
Huh? Why?
We reached our sales target, didn't we?!
Huh? What are you talking about?
One of my friends is working there, and she asked me to lend her a few talented crew members.
Phew, you scared me.
They got a new attraction or some fair nearby,
so they're expecting lots of customers tomorrow.
They'll pay for your travel expenses and dispatch allowance, of course.
What do you say? Will you go?
Of course.
Lemme help too!
Thanks, but Maou-kun should be enough on his own.
I see...
That's about it.
You'll be representing us as one of our most talented crew members.
Fushima, huh?
Understood!

The Extraordinary Days of the Hero and the Dark Lord
Oh, tomorrow?
Yeah.
Are you really well enough for all this?
Foff cose.
It's about to expire, so we should eat it all today.
Thank you for your concern, though.
Ah, it's true.
A new haunted house is opening tomorrow at Fushima Park.
The Great Reptile Exhibit is opening too.
Quit staring at the screen and come eat.
Otherwise I can't clean it up—
Whoa, they'll have three hundred kinds of reptiles in one place.
Lots of people're gonna go see it, I bet.
Sounds like you'll have a busy day.
Yeah.
Oh? They say this new haunted house is scarier
Attraction Information
The scariest attraction of them all
Welcome to Fushima Park
The Haunted House
than the Silent Maze in Asakyu Lowland Park that was named best in Japan.
But if lots of people are visiting such a terrifying haunted house...
Doesn't that mean there'll be plenty of fear to tap into there?
It might be possible to convert that into magic.
In that case, tomorrow I shall accompany you as well
and serve you to the best of my abilities.
Oh, so you're going too, Ashiya?
That's right.
You can sit tight here at our stronghold.
What?
Food money.
I'll order pizza.
We can't afford luxuries like that.
Eat your noodles and be happy!
You don't have to do anything.
I'll make them for you.
Honestly, I don't even want to think about the expiration date of those noodles.
It's not that bad.
If you don't eat up, you'll be haunted by the Vengeful Spirit of Wastefulness!
Are you like, five?
Just eat already! You guys are way too loud!
Chiho-chan
Hello? Ah, Chiho-chan?
Yeah. Yeah.
Huh? Fushima Park?
Okay, I don't have anything tomorrow anyway.
Thank you!
I'm so glad you agreed to come along.
I really didn't want to go by myself.
Yeah, let's meet there.
To be honest, I wanted to go with Maou-san.
Hello?
The Dark Lord is planning to gather magic at Fushima Park tomorrow.
Huh? I heard he was just going to help out at the store.
You already gathered intel of your own?
I heard from Chiho-chan.
I'm going there too.
Chiho-chan invited me.
And how could he gather magic at an amusement park?
How does that make sense?
Naïve as always, I see.
I wish to confirm this with my own eyes.
Please let me accompany you.
Fine. I'll tell Chiho-chan you're coming too.
Why would Emilia...
I'm from the Hatagaya Station store.
The name's Maou Sadao.
Looking forward to working with you.
I've heard about you from Kisaki-chan.
She said you're real good.
I'll do my best to live up to your expectations.
Looks like we're in for a busy day today, so I'll be counting on all of you, okay?
Okay!
Yusa-san!
Sorry, did you wait long?
No, not at all.
Hi, Suzuno-san.
I am looking forward to accompanying you today, Chiho-dono.
Especially considering that this is the first I have set foot in an amusement park,
I will likely depend on your assistance.
You can count on me!
Sorry! I'm ready now!
Two Special One-Pounders, coming right up!
You're so mature, Yusa-san!
Two MgBurgers, coming right up!
Chiho-chan...
Yes?
You're... sixteen, right?
That's right!
Goddamn.
Is something wrong?
I was just thinking how huge... ly cute you look!
Really?
I wonder if Maou-san will think so too...
I am ready.
Shall we proceed?
Is something the matter?
Here's your order.
Could the next customer please proceed to the counter?
Two nuggets, one BBQ sauce, one mustard sauce.
One iced caramel latte. One caffè mocha.
Two MgBurgers.
One of them without pickles, please.
Here's your order.
You're not half bad.
Next customer, please!
Ah, Chi-chan.
Hi, Maou-san.
Three Big Mag sets, please.
Three Big Mag sets, right?
Yes.
Three Big Mag sets, please.
I ended up coming here to hang out.
Right.
Do your best, okay?
Sure thing. Thanks.
Um... How is it?
How? Hm...
It's much busier here at the amusement park than in the residential district.
There are lots of customers. I've learned a lot about service.
That's wonderful.
I'll have to tell Kisaki-san about all this once I get back.
That's wonderful.
I think I got it now.
Dense as always, huh?
Why are you here?
I'm an OL who works hard every day. It's up to me how I spend my days off.
Yeah, yeah.
I am not here for recreation.
I am here to study society.
Yeah, yeah.
You okay?
Had too much noodles?
What are you talking about? This is nothing.
You should take some meds.
Taking medicine would be but—
What a shame.
I should be helping my lord recover his magic, yet...
This is pathetic.
You shouldn't force yourself.
If you're staying at home, might as well stay in there.
Are you okay?
There really is a crowd here.
It must be because of the new attraction.
Do you refer to the haunted house?
Yeah. They say it's quite good.
Wanna give it a try?
Definitely.
It might be possible to convert it into magic.
I find it intriguing in a number of ways.
Let's go.
Um...
Chiho-chan?
Chiho-dono?
Just how far did she run?
Quite far ahead, it would appear.
Look! Is that Chiho-dono?
No, it would seem otherwise.
What's wrong, little girl?
Why are you crying?
She's gone...
Gone? Who is?
Mommy...
You lost her?
She's gone...
I see.
Then do you want to come with us?
Mommy's... gone...
She's gone...
She's gone... mommy...
Mo-Mommy's gone... Gone... She's... Mommy...
W-Wait...
Mommy?
Who the hell could come up with something like that?
And here I thought I had steeled myself against such horrors.
Next up, why don't we head over there?

Ch-Chiho-chan, it's not too late to turn back if you want.
It's okay. I can do it.
Really? I really don't mind if we turn back here, you know.
No, I've come this far already! I won't turn back now!
Really?
Might it be that you're scared as well, Emi-dono?
S-Scared?!
I just don't really like them, that's all!
Neither do I.
I hate it when they just show up out of nowhere.
Yeah, same...
I really don't like them.
Yeah...
It seems there are many kinds.
I wonder if any of them are edible.
Edible? Have you eaten reptiles before?
Yes, a couple of times.
Really?! Where?!
In the south, if my memory does not betray me.
Okinawa?
A local acquaintance said I should not leave without trying some lizards first.
Didn't you have any other choices?
She was so insistent, I thought I should give it a try.
You ate it?
That inn proudly advertised how they use all parts of the lizard, from the head to the tail, in their meals.
Their lizard tail soup was especially good.
Its aroma was pleasing, and its taste even more so.
While it definitely looked grotesque, I thought that
W-Wait.
it must be the best Ente Is—
You were just about to tell Chiho-chan about Ente Isla!
I was careless.
Maou-kun!
Yes?
When you're done with that, could you run a delivery for me?
Sure.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Sorry. That was my fault.
Not at all.
What?
You're pretty cute, Yusa-san.
I'm from MgRonald's. I've brought your order.
Hell, we've been waiting for you!
Could you take it inside?
Let's see. Here's a Big Mag—
Whoa. I'm surprised there are so many kinds.
Yeah, me too.
So, are there any like the one you ate?
I'd... prefer not to look at them that way.
Huh?
It's a monkey.
Is it lost?
It's wearing clothes.
Hey, don't be scared. Come here.
This monkey's already gotten on my bad side.
Thank you, and please choose us again.
Huh? Sadao!
"Sadao"?
Ah, my monkey.
Your... monkey?
Sadao!
Sheesh, where did he go?
Sadao!
Sadao, where are you?
S-Sadao!
What should we do with it?
Take it to the lost kids' booth?
Sadao!
Sadao, don't run off like that!
I'm glad you found it.
Yeah.
Maou-san?
Ah, Chi-chan.
Thanks for helping him.
His name's Sadao-chan?
Yeah.
So you were lost, Sadao?
I'm happy you found your master, Sadao-chan!
Sadao really loves ladies, you see! He's out of control!
That we saw. He really likes big ones, doesn't he?
Big ones?
N-Nothing.
Stop it already, all of you!
What?
This is an announcement for all our valued customers.
Some crocodiles have escaped the reptile exhibit.
Chiho-chan!
Please follow the directions of the staff members and evacuate calmly.
Please remain calm!
I repeat. This is an announcement for all our valued customers.
Be sure not to let go of your children!
Some crocodiles have escaped the reptile exhibit.
Are you okay, Chiho-chan?
Yeah.
Please follow the directions of the staff members and evacuate calmly.
Suzuno?
Impure souls, return from the underworld.
Bind these weak-minded creatures to my will!
Impure souls, return from the underworld.
Bind these weak-minded creatures to my will!
Is that Maou-san?
Seems that way.
Why? He could have taken advantage of the crisis to gain even more power.
Why would he use his sparse, hard-won magic for the sake of mere humans?
What goes on in your head, Dark Lord Satan?
Good work, everyone!
That was amazing!
No big deal.
Kisaki-chan told me you were a hard worker, but I think she sold you short!
Really? Thank you very much.
Well, we've still got some cleaning up to do.
See you tomorrow at work, Chi-chan!
Yeah, see you tomorrow!
Jeez, that ended up being such a crazy mess.
Nah, I got to see a really cool side of Maou-san today. I think it was worth it.
Right.
And I had lots of fun with the two of you. That's enough for me.
Yeah, it's been so long since we cut loose like that.
Right?
That is right.
Suzuno-san?
By the way, were you able to gather any magic yesterday?
Yeah, but I used it all up.
I knew we shouldn't have taken Urushihara's advice.
Please enjoy your meal, my lord.
You look pretty bad.
Please don't worry about me.
He just ate too much.
Shut up! No one asked you!
A delivery!
Coming!
I'll get it!
Damn! My legs gave out under me!
Just a moment.
I— Wai— I'll take it—
It's a delivery for Urushihara Hanzou-sama.
For Urushihara?
Jungle, eh?
Uh, this is, well, you see...
What is it? Spit it out.
Too close, too close, too close.
While I was imprisoned in the bathroom—
Ashiya, shouldn't you see a doctor?
No need for that! This is nothing!
Are you really okay?
Silence, fool!
Your concern is the last thing I need!
