Momotaro and his peers were so strong that *the* demons were frightened and surrendered. *The* demons said, "We will never rob the villagers of their valuables *again*, so please forgive us!" Momotaro believed their *word* and decided not to kill them. When the party came back to the home village, bringing a lot of valuables which had been *stolen* by the demons, the villagers *were* delighted and thanked them.
・the なしだと、「ある鬼が」みたいなニュアンスで、どこかに読み手が知らない鬼が怖がっているかもしれないです。
鬼の枠と数が文脈で既に決まっていて、今までの話に関係のない鬼がいきなり登場してもおかしいので、そこにいて「他にはいない」鬼たちのことを the demons とこの文脈で言います。
・delighted は「非日常的な単語」の登場する喋り方で使うような書き言葉なので、口語的な響きになる get/got と一緒にはあまり使わないです。
