Pocket-Sized Demon Lord Saves Rent Day

Kazuma

So, Demon-lord-san, rumor says you can shapeshift into anything—true?

Demon lord Murasaki

Yup. Even with this Rimuru-Homura cocktail in my veins, transformation's child's play.

Wiz

P-please don't encourage him, Murasaki-sama...

Kazuma

Then pop outside and go kaiju-size. Step on the landlord's mansion, we all live rent-free!

Wiz

That's... morally creative...

Demon lord Murasaki

Giant form? Easy. But you two handle the collateral-damage bill.

Kazuma

Charge!!!—wait why is the ground not shaking?!

Demon lord Murasaki

Technically you said 'giant form.' You never specified scale.

Wiz

Thank goodness for loopholes...

Demon lord Murasaki

Shop insurance still valid if the giant is pocket-sized, right?

Wiz

As long as Kazuma's the one paying for emotional damages...

Wiz

My insurance specifically excludes 'demon-lord finger flick'! This is going to bankrupt me!

Kazuma

Repair costs... liability... my savings...

Demon lord Murasaki

Remember, one per customer! Sharing is caring!

Kazuma

Wait... if everything's free... that means I just lost my chance to sell my cursed items too!

Demon lord Murasaki

Oh, you wanted to participate in the clearance? Should've said something sooner!

Wiz

No no no! That's a cursed wedding ring! Don't—

Customer

Free wedding ring? My girlfriend will love this!

Demon lord Murasaki

It comes with a lifetime guarantee! Literally!

Kazuma

Hey... if your giant form is autonomous... could it step on the rival magic shop across town?

Demon lord Murasaki

You're learning! But that would be vandalism... unless someone accidentally tripped?

Kazuma

Accidentally, of course.

Demon lord Murasaki

Tell you what—help me clean up this mess, and I'll accidentally trip right onto that overpriced competitor.

Kazuma

Deal! But first... can we accidentally make them give us free stuff too?

Demon lord Murasaki

Now you're thinking like a true demon lord!
