Official Synopsis: Names can be deceiving, something the warrior known as Hero quickly discovers when he storms the castle of the dread Demon King that mankind has fought for fifteen years. For one thing, the "king" turns out to be a queen. Even more shocking is that she's waiting for him with an unexpected proposal. She points out that it would be bad for both sides if the war was to end immediately. However, she has a plan to end the war, bring democracy and advanced knowledge to humanity, and ensure lasting prosperity for both sides, no matter who "wins". To accomplish this, she needs a human collaborator, and she's chosen Hero as the one partner she can trust. Is it a deal with the devil? Or mankind's only hope for lasting peace?
