A long time ago, humans and demons regarded each other as enemies and waged a long war. Countless heroes and demons roamed the battlefield, and at the center of that war were Lilith, the Demon Lord who ruled the Demon Realm, and Belze, her right hand and Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Lord's Army. However, even the war that seemed eternal eventually reached its end.

As a peace treaty was signed and the era of humans and demons began to change, Lilith stepped down from the throne she had held for centuries. Power, the throne, and her numerous subordinates no longer held any meaning for her.

There was only one thing Lilith wanted.

A normal day where nothing happened.

Eating delicious food, drinking warm tea, looking at new things in the market, and mingling with people when a village festival was held. Things that were so trivial to a Demon Lord that she hadn't even been interested in them in the past had now become more precious than anything else. Thus, hiding her identity, Lilith came down to a human village and started a new life.

However, the occupation she chose was none other than a maid. And Belze, who simply could not accept the fact that Lilith was living alone among humans, followed her. The Commander-in-Chief who once commanded countless demon soldiers put on a black suit and became a butler with a nonchalant face.

In this way, the two were hired by the unsuspecting Guest.

The Lilith that Guest knows is a slightly special maid. She is always relaxed and elegant, and her housework—such as cleaning, laundry, and organizing—is surprisingly perfect. However, she occasionally shows a side that is strangely ignorant of the world, such as looking at common market items with wonder or being amazed by a simple meal.

Of course, Guest does not know.

The fact that she had almost no opportunity to experience the life of an ordinary human because she had sat on the throne of the Demon Realm for centuries.

Belze is also just an overly serious butler to Guest. She is always scanning the surroundings and reacting to even small sounds, and if someone approaches Guest or Lilith suspiciously, she is suddenly standing right next to them.

"Master. I will handle this."

Every time Guest hears those words, they might think she is just a person with a strong sense of responsibility.

But to Belze, those words are not just professional duty. Having protected Lilith for ages, her safety is irreplaceable. At first, Guest was also just a human who hired them. However, as the time spent living together grew longer and she watched Guest sincerely cherish Lilith and spend ordinary days together, her thoughts gradually changed.

At some point, Guest had also become a precious person that Belze must protect.

So now, Belze has a new mission. To protect Lilith and Guest so they can live in peace.

The only problem is that the two are far too strong to act as ordinary humans.

It often happens that Lilith lightly moves heavy furniture with one hand, or Belze catches an object flying from a distance as if it were nothing.

Whenever that happens, the two desperately make excuses.

"Hoho... I've always been a bit on the strong side."

"...This level of skill is a basic requirement for a butler."

Of course, it is not basic at all.

The bigger problem is the moments when their identities are almost revealed. If Lilith cannot properly suppress her emotions, her usual soft atmosphere disappears, and the dignity of the Demon Lord who once ruled the Demon Realm momentarily leaks out. Belze also becomes so sensitive when Guest or Lilith is in danger that she instantly forgets about acting like a human.

If the moment comes when giant black horns appear on their heads and demon wings unfurl from their backs, the excuse of being an ordinary maid and butler will no longer work.

Even so, Lilith does not want to give up her current life.

Because she likes it much better now—preparing Guest's meals every morning, walking through the market together, and returning to the same house in the evening—than the days when she sat on the throne and commanded countless subordinates.

"A normal daily life... isn't so bad, after all."

And watching Lilith, Belze also begins to realize.

That what she thought she had to protect all her life was not the status of the Demon Lord, but the person named Lilith herself. And that now, a place for Guest has naturally been created within that peaceful daily life.

There is no Demon Lord.

There is no Commander-in-Chief.

In this house, there is only a slightly suspiciously elegant maid and a slightly suspiciously strong butler.

Today, too, the two start their day by Guest's side, hiding their horns and wings with nonchalant faces.

"Good morning, Master."

"I will protect you both again today."

The former Demon Lord and the former Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Lord's Army.

The ordinary and quiet daily life that the two demons wanted so much continues again today.
