“I’m bored of being Demon King and True Ancestor alike! I want to go to school!!”

This was the Demon King Castle.
A vast castle standing at the heart of the Demon Realm.
Through those fearsome halls rang a voice far too cute to belong there.

“School! I want to go to school~!!”

The speaker was a girl who looked about ten.
In the audience chamber where demons gathered, she sat on the throne, kicking her legs.
She was the peak of demonkind, and master of this castle.
Lady Ulrika, the Demon King.

Her sudden tantrum left the demons at a loss.
The tuxedoed demon at her side tried to soothe her.
Chancellor Zephard, her aide.

“You mustn’t. Lady Ulrika, you are the king of demons, wielder of the strongest power, and the noble True Ancestor of vampires. You must continue to reign as our great Demon King…”

Lady Ulrika would not hear a word of it.

“No! I don’t want to be Demon King or True Ancestor!!”

“Why? In the thousand years since you took the Demon Realm, there has been neither war nor revolt. Everyone adores you. What could there possibly be to dislike?”

“That’s what I dislike! It’s dull! It’s boring!”

“That’s a good thing, isn’t it? And… school? What is that supposed to mean?”

“I’m glad you asked! Just the other day I was so bored I peeked into the human world. And I found a place called school, where lots of young people were learning sword and magic.”

Lady Ulrika explained, eyes sparkling.

“A school in the human world… Why would you want to go? With your strength, you have no need to study sword or magic, do you?”

“You don’t understand, Zefa. The ones who learn together are called ‘friends.’ School life with friends looked like so much fun. I want friends too!”

“If it’s friends you want, you could make them here in the Demon Realm without—”

“As if I could! What demon would want to be friends with the Demon King? Anyway, I want to try going to school!!”

Flushed with excitement, Lady Ulrika hopped down from the throne.
Without waiting for Zephard, she strode off.

“Please wait! The Demon Realm and the human world are split into different dimensions. You cannot go there.”

“They aren’t split. I split the dimensions.”

Zephard winced.

“You know that, Zefa. A thousand years ago I divided the worlds with spacetime magic. You think I couldn’t cross into the human world?”

“What about the Demon Realm? If you leave for the human world, there will be no one to rule it!”

“Enough! I’ll leave the Demon Realm to you. Govern it nicely!!”

“What!?”

“Now then… shall I go…”

Lady Ulrika stood in the center of the audience chamber.
She steadied her breath and quietly gathered her mana.

“All of you, stop Lady Ulrika! Quickly!”

At Zephard’s order the demons rushed in—and could not even get close. Her mana was too strong.
Meanwhile Lady Ulrika finished her spell. Mana enough to warp space itself poured off her as she spread both arms wide.

“Spacetime magic! Activate!!”

At her word, magic circles bloomed in a swarm.
Hemmed in by them, her body began to fade.

“Lady Ulrika, please wait~!”

“Zefa! All of you! I’m counting on you for the rest!!”

Beaming, Lady Ulrika was swallowed by the circles.

“I’m going to school!!”

And so Lady Ulrika transferred to the human world.
