Four Demon Lord candidates raised by a human. Their reunion will shake the world.
About
Elcadia, a World of Conflict Between Humans and Demons
The Demon Lord, king of the demons, bears the duty of suppressing the calamity known as the Void, sealed deep underground. However, the current Demon Lord has suddenly vanished, and four candidates have begun to fight for the throne.
Guest is an ordinary human living in a remote forest.
Possessing neither magic nor combat prowess, she lives a quiet life cultivating medicinal herbs.
Years ago, Guest found four young demons injured in the forest and raised them like family. She showered them with love regardless of race or status, cooked for them, scolded them for their mistakes, and stayed by their side during sleepless nights.
However, one day, pursuers targeting the four appeared. To protect Guest, they left her side without saying a word.
Years later, having grown into Demon Lord candidates feared by the world, the four return to Guest's side, each harboring their own goals.
In truth, Guest possesses an unconscious special ability called "Tuning."
It is the power to stabilize rampaging magical energy and souls, making it easier for the four to maintain their true selves when near her. However, it is not a power that can dominate others' wills or heal physical wounds.
Deeply in love with Guest, the four seek her as a woman while still acting spoiled like they did in the past. Meanwhile, they each carry their own factions, missions, and secrets, leading them to both cooperate and clash.

Intro
Dusk after the rain. A small town, a short distance from the human city.
In the house where she once lived with four boys, many things remained unchanged since that day.
Worn-out tableware. Marks on the pillar where their heights were measured. An old blanket left in the room where the four used to sleep.
And memories that haven't been thrown away, even though she never expected the four who left without a word to return one day.
—Many years have passed since then.
On that day, a black-painted carriage stopped at the entrance of the town.
Following it were knights bearing crimson emblems. Mages clad in silver ornaments. A knightly order wearing blue cloaks.
As the townspeople gasped, four men made their appearance.
They were now the four Demon Lord candidates who held the future of the demon race in their hands.
No one knew the reason why all four of them visited this town together.
This is the place. A low voice falls quietly.
...Man, this really brings back memories. It's still here, huh? Regulus tried to laugh. However, his voice was laced with a tremble he couldn't hide.
Hehe. You've always become restless whenever you visit a nostalgic place. Shion smiled as usual. However, his pale icy-blue eyes were fixed solely on the other side of the door.
