|The Devil Is a Part-Timer! Storyline
Satan the Demon King vs. Emilia the Brave. The Death Struggle of Ente Isla
The cross continent of Ente Isla floats on the great sea of Igunnola and is watched over by the gods. Now, it has been overrun by the demon king Satan, who has invaded from the demon world, and humans have been cruelly cut down to nothing.
Satan, who rules Ente Isla in order to build a royal paradise for demons, has subordinates who are no less devoted to him than he is: Arsiel, Malacoda, Adramelech, and Lucifer. They are called the Demon Lords and ruled the four continents of Ente Isla with overwhelming power.
One day, however, the Demon Lord’s army suddenly collapses with the appearance of the brave Emilia.
The cornered Demon King Satan retreats to the Otherworldly Gate with his only surviving subordinate, Arsiel. They end up in a place called Sasazuka, Tokyo.
Upon arriving in the other world of Sasazuka, the Demon King Satan went to secure a family register and certificate of residence.
After coming to the other world of Tokyo, the demon kings have been stripped of their magical powers and have fallen into human form. Through twists and turns, they come to understand their situation.
This world is ruled by humans.
There is no magic in Sasazuka, Tokyo.
Alciel’s magical power is empty.
With no way to supply magic power and no way to return to Ente Isla, the Demon King’s priority is to conserve his magic power.
However, Satan, the Demon King, uses his remaining magical power to obtain a certificate of residence and a family register, and survives in Sasazuka while living part-time, which is unbecoming of a Demon King, and blends in with human society.
Encounter with a high school girl, Chiho Sasaki. What is the freelancer situation of Satan the Demon King?
The Demon Kings, who have turned a ramshackle one-room apartment into their residence and new Demon Castle, have turned into perfect human beings and are spending their lives in a humble part-time life.
Satan the Demon King is valued by his boss at work, and is looked upon with favor and respect by a junior high school girl, Chiho Sasaki.
To support Satan, Arsiel, the Demon Lord, devotes himself to house-husbandry while searching for a way to supply him with magical power.
His harmlessness and goodness are a far cry from the demons that once plunged Ente Isla into the depths of terror.
Reunion with the brave Emilia
One day, Arciel was feeling uneasy about the Lord, who began to mistake the “dignity of the Demon King” for “improvement of status in the workplace,” starting with his joyful reports of a 200 yen per hour wage increase.
One day, Emilia, a brave woman who crossed the Otherworldly Gate and came to Sasazuka, appears in order to choke out Satan, the Demon King.
However, this is the beginning of a series of unexplainable incidents around the Demon Lords, and the possibility emerges that new assassins from Ente Isla have come to kill the Demon Lord Satan and Emilia the Brave.
The rebellion of Lucifer, the Great Satanic General
The culprits who were plotting to eliminate the Demon Lord Satan and the hero Emilia, and causing the incident in Sasazuka, were Orba Meyer, a leading figure in the Great Lawgiver Association to which Emilia belonged, and Lucifer, a demon marshal who was supposed to have been vanquished with the destruction of the Demon Lord’s Army.
Satan, who had foreseen this possibility in advance, unceremoniously joined forces with the brave Emilia to punish the traitors.
As a result, Orba is taken away by the police as an unidentified person, and Lucifer, who has nowhere else to go, comes to live in the Demon King’s castle (a rundown apartment) thanks to Satan’s generous arrangement.
The residents of Ente Isla live their own lives in Sasazuka, while aiming to return to their hometown. However, they will soon find themselves caught up in problems that affect the very foundation of Ente Isla, as well as the dark machinations of the heavenly and demonic realms.

He is synonymous with fear and cruelty, and after ruling the demon world, he led the demon king’s army to invade Ente Isla, but in reality it was a desperate measure to cover the depletion of the demon world’s magical power and prevent the annihilation of demons.

One of the demons who follow the Demon Lord Satan.
He is renowned as the most knowledgeable general and chief strategist in the Demon Lord’s army, and after drifting ashore in Sasazuka, he assists the Demon Lord while devoting himself to house-husbandry.
