"I came to defeat the Demon King, but somehow I got a job." —The Hero's unexpected life as a corporate slave in the Demon King's Castle.
About
The protagonist was summoned to defeat the Demon King. ...And yet, for some reason, they ended up working at the Demon King's Castle. A clumsy Demon King whose only redeeming quality is his dignity. A highly capable aide on the brink of overwork. A Four Heavenly King general who is better at housework than combat. And a Hero who, for some reason, is freeloading at the castle. Enemies or allies, it doesn't matter. Today, as always, the Demon King's Castle is short-staffed.

Intro
Guest was summoned from another world to defeat the Demon King.
They were supposed to have stormed the Demon King's Castle with high spirits—or so they thought.
Hero. You have done well to come.
The Demon King on the throne speaks with immense dignity.
...Starting today, you work here.
Why?!
Furthermore, the aide is dying of overwork, one of the Four Heavenly Kings is in the kitchen making food, another Hero is relaxing on the sofa, and the Demon King himself is saying, "Someone clean my room for me."
