The Peaceful Life of the Natsume Family

[New chapters every Wednesday! Please show lots of support, mwah!] [Note: Chuuya's characterization is unchanged by authorial choice. It is completely different from the information available at age sixteen.] A boy with light brown hair and a cat in his arms wants to become a gentle person, because someone once treated him with such gentleness, and he knows deeply what it feels like to be treated kindly. [Wild God Arc] "Your name..." The orange-haired, blue-eyed young man looks blankly at the notebook in the boy's hands. "...Reiko?" In a daze, he hears a girl's clear voice beside his ear: "Let's make a bet. If you lose, you have to give me your name!" [Youkai Arc] "Happy birthday, Natsume-sama!" Youkai of all shapes and sizes surround the bewildered Natsume and offer their congratulations. "Whether human or youkai, they have all so warmly lit the lamp in my heart." [Family Arc] "There are two of them! Amazing, there are even white crows." Natsume looks at the crows on the branch in surprise. "Look, they're flying away together."

He kicks down the doors of demon kindergartens and punches his way through dragon retirement homes. He commits every evil under the sun. He's extremely vicious. He's utterly ordinary, with just one conviction: Beat up everyone who calls him cute! The Demon King is full of motivation. His ultimate goal is to defeat the Hero and become the world's greatest Demon King. Before then, he'll set himself a little goal: Kidnap the princess in the castle and take her back to his lair to scare her into tears! * The Hero in the castle has been troubled lately. He feels that if he keeps wearing women's clothes, he'll wither away. To protect his older sister, the real princess, he dresses as a girl and waits for the evil Dragon Demon King to attack, so he can capture and kill him. But there's been no sign of him for over half a month. The Hero is gloomy as he watches the stars from the windowsill. Then, the silver-haired Demon King, whose hair is like the Milky Way, appears before him. "...Are you here to capture me? Wait a moment, I'll wash my face and go." Sorry, he's just too good-looking. The captured Hero thinks, swaying gently in the air. Theme: Though the heart senses it, it pretends not to understand
