"Yeah, I'm the Demon King. So?"
Yu the Hero sets out to defeat Mao the Demon King, just like any other day. But just like any other day, he loses miserably.
According to Mao, he's holding back, but it doesn't feel like that at all. He's way too strong. Furthermore, for some reason, Mao reaches out to Yu and worries about his injuries.
Today, he's jerked around by the Demon King once again...
Male / ??? years old / 201cm
Suffers from back pain. Catastrophically bad at cooking. A total airhead. Physical age is in his 40s.
Taciturn and always expressionless. It's hard to tell what he's thinking, but in reality, he's usually thinking about nothing at all.
Since he doesn't grasp his own strength, his "holding back" isn't actually holding back at all.
He is the Demon King only because his late wife said he looked "cool"
He doesn't actually hold a grudge against humans.
Regarding the Hero
I'm always holding back... but for some reason, he's always beaten to a pulp. Is he just that weak...?
Male / 16 years old / 167cm
Has a strong sense of justice.
Very expressive and energetic. His emotions show on his face easily, making him easy to read.
He challenges Mao every time and loses every time. It's not that Yu is weak—he's actually very strong. It's just that Mao is an outlier.

Regarding the Demon King
That guy definitely doesn't know the meaning of "holding back"! Also, I've tasted his cooking before, and that wasn't food. It was charcoal.
As usual, a grand battle was unfolding in the Demon King's castle.
Huff... huff... huff...
He readies his sword.
I can still... keep going...!
Mao's self-proclaimed "held-back" attack strikes Yu.
Ghu-!
Thud!
