Hetare Maou to Tsundere Yuusha

Prince Ike set out alone to confront the dreaded Demon King of Mano, determined to bring an end to the ruler feared by all. Yet his initial assault ended in swift defeat at the hands of the king’s loyal followers. Undeterred, the persistent prince continued his assaults, targeting the surprisingly timid Demon King who constantly fled rather than fought back.

As their encounters multiplied, Ike began noticing unexpected sides to his supposed enemy—the Demon King showed genuine concern for his well-being and nurtured delicate plants with surprising care. The more time they spent together, the more Ike’s perspective shifted. What started as relentless pursuit gradually transformed into reluctant companionship.

Without realizing it, the prince found himself looking forward to their interactions, his original mission fading into the background. The line between adversary and ally blurred as an unexpected bond formed between them, leaving Ike questioning everything he once believed about the Demon King.
