Even the Demon King Has to Make a Living

A few notes on the setting: Modern alternate universe, very light fantasy, with no strictly defined worldbuilding No children The bottom is extremely, extremely, extremely cautious early on. If you can't stand a spineless character, read with care. He takes off later. Monster-fighting dungeon-crawl plot Very light comedy with an exaggerated comic-book feel The characters have lots of secret identities An ensemble cast, with the spotlight shared around. The world doesn't revolve around the protagonist alone 【Plot】 “You're the Dark Lord.” Lori: “That's right.” “Throughout history, you've ruled the entire Demon King's Castle, wielded the power to change the world, and been capable of anything. Legend says a flap of your wings could bring on a typhoon and a tidal wave, and one opening of your mouth could swallow half an island.” Lori: “That's right.” “Then why aren't you destroying the world? Why did you send a résumé to our company instead?” “I'm looking for a job,” Lori said earnestly. “I have to make a living too.” 【Romance】 After the demons were defeated, the amnesiac Dark Lord Lori became a miserable wage slave in an era of peace. He was so poor he could barely feed himself, yet he took in a homeless human child and raised him to adulthood. Lori thought he'd finally found a home in this unfamiliar era. But when his identity as the Dark Lord was unfortunately exposed, the child resolutely abandoned him, joined the Knights, and became a celebrated hero after accomplishing one great deed after another in just a few years. Lori became the one blemish on his dazzling life. Let's just pretend we never knew each other. Lori had planned to bury the secret forever, but then the hero himself showed up at his door. Lori was horrified. I never let you go hungry, and I never mistreated you. Sure, we were a bit poor, but I raised you pretty well. You're not here for revenge, are you? His cold foster father was about to become a source of glory... What? You're not here for glory, then you must want the Dark Lord's heart? No, that's not it either. “Then what do you want?” “A proper relationship.” “?” Lori was baffled. What had they put in the Knights' drinking water? Seeing his reaction, the other man took out an ancient book. “According to historical records, after the Dark Lord was defeated, he became the hero's wife and bore him a child.” “You lost your memory, so it's natural you don't remember.” “Now, bear me a child too!” “...” Lori threw the dubious historical text, which had come from God knew where, out the window. “Kids shouldn't read this kind of nonsense!” Theme: Every life shines with its own light
