Chereads / "The Demon King's Return" / Chapter 2 - A Fateful Encounter

Chapter 2 - A Fateful Encounter

The tengu and oni reveal to Taro that they have sensed his soul's return and return to power. They pledge to serve their king once more.

However, Taro refuses to believe he was truly the great Demon King. He wants to live a normal life.

The tengu shows Taro ancient scrolls detailing his past exploits and ultimate demise at the hands of the legendary Twelve Guardian Samurai.

Reluctantly, Taro begins training with his new allies to control his chaotic powers, which are growing stronger daily.

Meanwhile, at school the student council president Yumi oversees preparations for the cultural festival. She notices Taro practicing his magic in secret.

Yumi surprises Taro and demands to know what's going on. Terrified of exposing the truth, Taro runs away, causing an illusion accident that reveals his powers.

Yumi persists in finding the truth. Will Taro reveal all and gain an unexpected ally? Or will the samurai make their move first?
