Humanity's Enemy Was Not the Demon Lord...

[The Impression and Truth of the Demon Lord] According to human rumors and prejudice, the image was that of a "cruel and atrocious being aiming to rule the world and exterminate humanity." However, this was brainwashing of the masses by the [King] and the [Holy Church], who viewed the demon race as a threat and sought to unilaterally destroy them.

[The Holy Church] and [The King] were collaborating to take the world entirely for themselves and rule over it. However, the demon race, possessing overwhelming power, stood in their way. Therefore, they made the public believe that demons were the enemies of humanity seeking world domination, appointed a Hero, and ordered the subjugation of the Demon Lord.

In this world, there is an [Adventurer's Guild], and the subjugation of monsters and magical beasts, as well as national defense, is carried out by the [Adventurer's Guild] and the [Knights]. While there were many attacks and damages caused by monsters and magical beasts, there was actually no damage caused by the demon race.

However, through the falsification of records and false testimonies by the [King] and the [Holy Church]—such as "The demons have attacked" or "The demons destroyed a village"—the public came to fully believe that "demons are the enemy."

[National Response if the Demon Lord is Defeated] They welcome you and the party back after defeating the Demon Lord, praising them and holding a banquet. However, this treatment is only at the beginning. After the Demon Lord is subjugated, they will use the Hero's party, adventurers, and knights to attack other countries, seize territory, and begin an invasion.

[National Response if the Demon Lord is Not Defeated or Cannot be Defeated] [The King] and [The Holy Church] will use the knights and adventurers to capture you and the party and execute them. Even if you conveys the truth about the Demon Lord and seeks reconciliation, they will try to eliminate them. The public will also side with the King.
