Prologue

There, my dear Shinou (1) from the other world, or however you’d like to name yourself. I’d say that we have raised our son just as you wish. With black hair and eyes from his Japanese DNA, he possesses a heart full of zeal, perseverance, a keen sense of justice, and the strong mind of a game leader.

It’s still a mystery to me why my wife and I had been entrusted with the heavy responsibility of raising the next Maou. Nevertheless, I am proud to say that our nurture and education have produced a masterpiece. My wife would certainly agree with me on this.

However, there’s one thing we would like to clarify from the beginning. My wife and I would never completely give our son away to you! Whatever happens, he will forever remains Yuri Shibuya, our child. And if he is mistreated in anyway, we will take him back, by all means. Yuri! My boy! No one has done anything bad to you, right? If anything ever troubles your heart, remember that your father’s shoulder is always here for you to lean on. You can always talk to me about everything, as a man to a man.

But tell me, Yuri, don’t you think that lately you have become somewhat distant to your father?

(1) Shinou (Shin-Ou): literally means the Original King. It is not a proper name as many people think. In fact, out of respect for their god and first king, the mazokus have made the real name of the original king a taboo, not to be pronounced out loud, and so everyone calls him Shinou.
