I Want to Claim the Demon Lord's Castle for Myself [Western Fantasy]

[Updates with the rankings. For content warnings about the plot, please see the bottom of the blurb. Thank you!]

After one look at the Demon King's castle illustrated in a book, little demon Savi, who lived in seclusion in the snowy mountains, felt her heart skip a beat.

As a meticulous demon, Savi consulted a mountain of sources and finally diagnosed herself with...

Love at first sight for the Demon King's grand, magnificent castle, and a desire to make it her own.

But the castle belonged to the Demon King, so Savi had no choice but to seize it by force.

And so Savi decided to defeat the Demon King. Considering the dangers of going into the dungeon alone, she tricked a foolish hero into coming along and captured a tsundere witch.

But the legendary Demon King's castle was at the end of the world. Who knew where the end of the world even was?

After passing through several human cities, Savi grew tired of having to improve the local infrastructure just to expand her own power.

She decided to ask the other demons, only to discover that she was the only demon in this world. All the others were in a place called Hell.

For some reason, none of them could get into Hell.

The witch: "Have the other demons been ostracizing you?"

At this point, there was only one thing left to do.

Summon a demon and ask.

But demons couldn't summon demons, so Savi turned to the hero.

And yet, after they summoned one, Savi wasn't satisfied.

"Wait, what do you mean I'm the Demon King?!"

"Then am I supposed to build the Demon King's castle myself?"

Savi was heartbroken. She regretted turning down those human cities.

The story is currently in the departure arc. According to the outline, the next arcs are the voyage arc, the princess arc, the illiteracy arc, and then ???. Other demons won't appear until the illiteracy arc.

"Reading Guide"

★ A classic Western fantasy road story, with a stereotypical adventuring party and goofy, comedic vibes

☆ The trio consists of a Demon King whose knowledge comes entirely from dubious histories, a hero who's either rescuing cats or on the way to rescue cats, and a witch who hasn't learned a single spell but has been dragged into the party anyway

★ Comedic characters are invincible, so no one will get hurt in this story

[Plot warnings: No one's complained yet, so for now I don't know what needs a warning. I'll add more as the story goes on, so stay tuned!]
