Good news: The world-destroying Demon King Azazel has been killed by the human queen! Both demons and humans are celebrating!
Bad news: They have been reborn! And reincarnated as... uh, the queen's pampered little girl!
Azazel discovers that they have been reincarnated as the daughter of their murderer, and given a name as cute as a little bear cookie: Fumino.
Bah! That name doesn't suit their great power at all!
But soon Fumino discovers some good news:
The timeline has shifted back by more than a decade. Leila isn't even queen yet, just the daughter of an ordinary lord, let alone powerful enough to kill them a decade from now.
Lie flat and be a pampered little girl? No, of course they'll choose revenge! They'll trample the human empire, clear the obstacles in their future self's path, and finally return to their own body and become the Demon King once more!
If they kill Leila, no one will be able to threaten them!
That was the original plan, anyway.
Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh. Whenever Fumino tries to come up with a revenge plan for the day, all kinds of obstacles get in the way.
For instance, she's a human baby, and the information the world feeds to a newborn comes in an overwhelming flood. This leads to the following situation:
Fumino's ideal day: Come up with today's revenge plan and achieve the best results with the least power.
Fumino's actual day (brain developing and working at full speed):
Oh, oh, oh, Leila's here to feed me again. Ohhh, my lovely little bed. I'll think about how to kill her today... Oh no, my brain's so tired. I need to sleep.
Day by day, she gets more and more hooked, unable to stop.
Whenever she finally steels herself, decides she can't go on like this, and finds a new reason to be furious:
"Damn you, Leila! You cut my bangs so short!"
"I don't look intimidating at all anymore!"
She remembers all her anger and her need for revenge!
Leila hands her a teddy bear...
"But teddy bears are so fun to chew, hehehehehe! I'll put off revenge for today." (chewing on the bear's ear)
Day after day, year after year. Her revenge plans keep getting postponed until, at last, she turns herself into a pampered little girl!
Congratulations! Congratulations!
Not only that, but under the premise that she's a dragon, a creature much like a giant lizard, Lady Fumino deduces an absolute truth:
Her mother must have given birth to her through parthenogenesis! (This Demon King is so clever!)
So, having accepted her identity as a pampered little girl, Fumino finally discovers something even more infuriating than becoming one!
About the man whose face seems strangely familiar: "Ahhh! How could I have been born from such a shameless creature?!"
Oh no, I've become my own second-in-command's grandchild!
Reader's guide:
- The Demon King (female lead) has no romance plot, but the Queen has a small romance plot (not with the female lead's biological father).
- The Demon King had no gender when she was a Demon King, but is female after reincarnation. After reincarnation, she's a standard max-level overpowered protagonist who fights anyone who dares oppose her.
- Rather than calling her the "female lead," the author would rather call her the "Great Demon King." The Great Demon King! The Great Demon King!
