The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Celebration Party (1)

As soon as they crossed the portal,

“Congratulations on winning the bet.”

Satan, who was waiting at the portal station, greeted them with a smile and words of congratulations.

“It was possible thanks to the Demon Lord-nim’s support.”

Having experienced this several times, Jung Minwoo, with a calm expression, thanked Satan.

“Still, a 2nd Rank demon must have been difficult to deal with. Did you have any trouble?”

“After preparing for 20 years on Dainik planet’s time axis, it was actually easier to deal with than 3rd Rank demons.”
T h i s w as co p ie d f r om k i ngmt l . o r g

Jung Minwoo shrugged his shoulders in response to Satan’s question.

“Well, 20 years is certainly not a short time to prepare. That poor 2nd Rank demon.”

“It was his choice, so there’s nothing he can do about it.”

“I bet he’ll shudder at the mere mention of your name from now on.”

“Not at all. I was surprised that it actually ignited his competitive spirit.”

Satan’s eyes sparkled at Jung Minwoo’s words as he asked,

“Did something happen between you two?”

“It’s nothing much. He just made a bet with me.”

“A bet?”

“Yes. The bet was…”
T h is w a s c o pie d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

After explaining to Satan in detail what kind of bet he had made with Katra,

“Puhahaha!”

Satan burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

“When you become a Demon Lord, there will be many wolves aiming for your position, but thanks to Katra, you’ll be able to solidify your place.”

“Right. Thanks to him, I think I’ll be able to fortify my position without much difficulty.”

T hi s w as c o p i e d fr o m k in g mtl .o rg
Satan, pleased with the new bet that had been made, asked his next question.

“What are your plans going forward?”

Jung Minwoo, upon receiving the question, fell into thought for a moment.

“First, I need to prepare for the promotion exam in five years, right?”

He briefly outlined his future plans.

“So, you’re going to start preparing as soon as you return?”

“I’d like to, but considering all the hard work everyone has put in, I’m planning to have a small celebration party with my comrades and then start preparing.”

“Celebration party…?”

At the mention of a party, a strange glint appeared in Satan’s eyes.

“…Is there a problem?”

Jung Minwoo, sensing an ominous feeling, asked Satan.

“If it’s a celebration party, I can’t miss it, can I?”

Satan’s reply turned the ominous premonition into reality.

The purpose was to have a small party with his comrades who had worked hard, so a visit from his boss wasn’t exactly welcome.

“Of course, the Demon Lord-nim must attend. I would have been disappointed if you said you wouldn’t come.”

Since Satan had provided a lot of support for the invasion of Dainik planet, Jung Minwoo had no excuse to refuse.

‘It would have been difficult to invade without Satan’s support.’

He had been planning to express his gratitude separately anyway, so he thought it wouldn’t be bad to invite him to the party.

“Hahaha, really? As expected, you’re the only one who thinks of me, Minwoo.”

Pleased with Jung Minwoo’s answer, Satan laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder.

“I can’t go to a celebration party without bringing a gift, so I’ll prepare something nice.”

At Satan’s words about preparing a gift, Jung Minwoo replied with a bright smile.

“I’ll be waiting for your visit with a joyful heart, Demon Lord-nim.”

“…Somehow, your reaction seems even better than before?”

Satan, noticing the significantly improved reaction, asked with narrowed eyes,

“It’s just your imagination.”

“It is just my imagination, right?”

“Yes. Your presence alone is like receiving a gift, Demon Lord-nim.”

Jung Minwoo, without changing his expression, responded as smoothly as honey.

“Hmm… If you say so.”

Satan nodded, as if reluctantly believing him, although he didn’t seem convinced.

“I’m planning to have the celebration party in a week. Is that okay with you?”

“Huh? Not right away?”

“We can’t prepare hastily when the Demon Lord-nim is attending, can we?”

“That’s true.”

Satan checked his schedule after Jung Minwoo’s explanation.

“I think I’m free then.”

He replied that he could attend the party without any problems.

“If something comes up and you can’t attend the party, please let me know. We can postpone the date anytime.”

Just as the conversation about the party was coming to an end,

“Ah, right!”

Satan clapped his hands as if he had just remembered something.

“I want to bring my wife and daughter to the party too. Is that okay?”

“…”

Jung Minwoo’s head throbbed at the thought of seeing Sayori,

“Of course. I’m honored that such esteemed guests will grace our party.”

Since he had no right to refuse in the first place, Jung Minwoo bowed his head respectfully and replied.

“Things didn’t work out on your birthday because of Baal, but take this opportunity to have a conversation with my daughter.”

“Understood.”

“I’m not saying this because she’s my daughter, but she’s truly a rare gem. You’ll regret it if you miss her.”

“…I’ll try my best.”

Satan, pleased with Jung Minwoo’s response, smiled with satisfaction.

“Then, let’s meet in a week.”

“Understood.”

After that, Satan left, saying he had to go back to work.

Satan, returning to his office, immediately summoned his daughter, Sayori.

About 10 minutes later,

“Dad, I told you I’m busy for the next few months. Why did you call me?”

Sayori entered the office with a tired expression.

‘As expected, she’s dazzlingly beautiful, taking after her mother.’

Satan inwardly marveled at Sayori’s appearance.

‘Jung Minwoo will definitely fall for my daughter’s charm and never escape.’

It might seem like a father’s foolishness at first glance,

‘Over 10,000 marriage proposals speak for themselves.’

The number of times she had been courted was a significant figure, making it hard to dismiss as mere foolishness.

“…What were you busy with?”

Satan, looking at his lovely daughter, asked what had kept her busy.

“The pigeons were trying to mess with the planets I invaded, so I went to give them a warning and sent them back. Then I was working on strengthening the invaded planets and gathering information on new planets to invade.”

Sayori began to rapidly list the tasks she had been working on for the past few months.

“You were really busy, huh?”

Satan, who had secretly thought it might be an excuse, couldn’t hide his surprise.

“I told you. I’m in the middle of compiling a planet list with my subordinates, and I came because you called. I need to get back soon, so just tell me what you need.”

At Sayori’s urging, Satan raised one corner of his lips and said,

“Well, I wonder if you’ll still be able to go back to work after hearing this.”
Thi s w a s co p i e d fr o m k i n gm t l . or g

Sayori frowned, annoyed by his confident attitude, and said,

T hi s w a s c o p i e d f r om k i n g mt l.o rg
“No matter what I hear, I’m still going back to finish my work.”

She usually spent her time socializing or going on blind dates, but when it came to work, she was more passionate than anyone else.

“By any chance, are you free in a week?”

Sayori shook her head at Satan’s question.

“No, once I finish the list, I have to go scout planets. I don’t have time.”

Then Sayori pulled on the doorknob of the office and said,

“Are we done here? I’ll be going now.”

Just as she was about to step out of the office,

“Really? That’s a shame. I was going to ask if you’d be interested in attending a party hosted by Jung Minwoo in a week.”

Halt―

Sayori couldn’t help but stop at Satan’s following words.

“…Are you serious?”

“Of course. Would I lie to my daughter?”

Satan shrugged his shoulders in response to Sayori’s question.

“Well, that changes things…”

Sayori, who had been about to leave, stroked her chin and fell into thought.

“It’s okay to postpone work for a bit, isn’t it? You can leave the planet list to your subordinates.”

“…That’s true, but.”

“And on your birthday, you couldn’t even have a proper conversation because of that Baal.”

“…We didn’t get to talk much.”

Satan, seeing Sayori waver, smiled triumphantly and said,

“You didn’t hear that Minwoo won the bet against Baal?”

“…He won the bet against Baal?”

“Yes. He won the bet and returned today.”

“…”

“Wouldn’t it be a shame to miss a demon who won a bet against the top-ranked Demon Lord?”

A demon who had won a bet against the top-ranked Demon Lord.

“…It would be a shame.”

As Satan had said, he was a man too precious to miss.

“…Sigh, you said it’s in a week?”

Sayori sighed and brushed her hair back.

“I’ll attend.”

Finally, she expressed her intention to attend the party.

“That’s my girl.”

Satan, satisfied with her choice, gave her a thumbs-up.

“Who else is attending the party?”

“No one besides the fellow demons who participated in the planet invasion.”

“So you’re saying there’s no competition.”

Sayori was aware of Venus’ existence,

‘She’s just a subordinate in the end.’

She believed that a 6th Rank demon could never be her rival.

“Dad, I’ll be going to prepare for the party.”

Sayori decided to start preparing immediately, as even a week felt short considering the outfit and makeup she had in mind for the party.

“Alright, make sure to seduce him at this party.”

“Of course.”

Satan, watching Sayori leave the office, smiled contentedly and muttered to himself,

“I’ll have a new son-in-law soon.”

Meanwhile, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members, arriving at the mansion,

“””We greet our masters.”””

were being greeted respectfully by the butlers and maids.

“How have you all been?”

Jung Minwoo waved his hand in response to their greetings.

“We heard the news of your victory against the 2nd Rank demon. As your servants, we couldn’t be more proud.”

The Head Butler approached and congratulated Jung Minwoo on winning the bet.

“As you have returned from a long journey, we have prepared various courses to help you relieve your fatigue.”

Intrigued by the Head Butler’s words, Jung Minwoo asked what courses had been prepared.

“First, we will provide a massage using oil extracted from the Dark Flower, known for its ability to absorb a large amount of demonic energy.”

“Next, you will have time to detoxify in a bath filled with Dark Water, known for its fatigue-relieving properties.”

“And the course will conclude with you enjoying Dark Fruit and Dark Tea, both known to aid in demonic energy recovery.”

The Head Butler explained the prepared courses in detail.

‘…They’ve prepared quite a lot.’

Jung Minwoo couldn’t help but admire the Head Butler’s thoroughness.

‘I was originally planning to start preparing for the party right away, but…’

After hearing the explanation, he felt that it would be good to relieve his fatigue at least once.

‘And with the way the Demon Communion members are looking at me so eagerly, I can’t tell them to start preparing for the party right now.’

Moreover, the Demon Communion members behind him were looking at him with sparkling eyes, making it difficult for him to suggest starting party preparations immediately.

‘Alright, it won’t matter if we start preparing tomorrow.’

If they prepared diligently, six days would be enough time to get everything ready for the party.

“Since we’ve returned from a long journey, it would be good to relieve our fatigue.”

T h i s w a s c o pi e d f r om kin g m t l . o rg
As he decided to rest,

“That’s a wise decision, Minwoo-nim.”

“…It would be rude to start working right away.”

“We worked hard, so we should relieve our fatigue, right?”

“Damn it, I knew you’d say that, Minwoo! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members cheered, raising their arms in agreement with Jung Minwoo’s decision.

“It brings me joy as your servant to see our masters so pleased.”

Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members, following the Head Butler’s guidance, spent time relieving their fatigue.

And the next day,

“We’re having a party in six days, and the Demon Lord, his wife, and his daughter will be visiting.”

“…The Demon Lord-nim and his family?”

“Yes, so start preparing for the party from now.”

“Your command will be obeyed.”

Jung Minwoo gave the order to the Head Butler and spent the next six days in a flurry of activity, preparing to welcome Satan and his family.

Chapter 109. Celebration Party (2)

The day of the celebration party.

“Well, I look good in anything.”

Satan was looking at his reflection in the mirror with a satisfied smile.

“Are my wife and daughter ready?”

As he finished getting ready and exited the room.

“Are you finished getting ready?”

“Why are you coming out so late?”

He saw Lilith and Sayori waiting in the hallway.

“You’re ready quickly?”

Satan asked, surprised at their quicker-than-expected preparations.

“You were slow, Dad.”

Sayori shook her head, correcting his words.

“Haha, that’s true. But you two look so beautiful?”

Satan changed the subject and complimented their outfits.

“Thank you.”

“We put some effort into it.”

Although it was said to change the subject, they both looked extremely beautiful.

“Shall we go then?”

They then left the Demon Lord’s Castle and rode in a carriage to Jung Minwoo’s residence.

“We welcome the Demon Lord-nim and his family.”

Jung Minwoo, who had come out to greet them in advance, showed a respectful and courteous bow.

“””It’s an honor to meet you.”””

The Jungsin Cult members and servants behind him also followed suit with respectful bows.

“You didn’t have to come outside.”

Satan waved his hand and accepted their greetings.

“How could we possibly wait inside the residence while the Demon Lord-nim is arriving?”

Jung Minwoo rose from his position and answered with a sly expression.

“Haha, this is why I can’t hate you.”

Satan burst out laughing.

“It’s the first time since your birthday, right? Say hello to each other.”

He introduced Lilith and Sayori, who were standing beside him.

“You both have become even more beautiful in the past few years.”

As Jung Minwoo approached and greeted the two.

“I heard you won the bet? Congratulations.”

“Minwoo-nim, you’ve gotten more handsome as well.”

Lilith and Sayori smiled brightly and accepted his greetings.

“Please come inside.”

After finishing the short greetings, he guided them inside the residence.

“Oh, you seem to have put a lot of effort into decorating?”

Satan’s eyes shone as he let out a soft exclamation of admiration.

“I paid close attention to the preparations.”

“Indeed, you prepared it exactly to my taste.”

As someone who had lived in luxury all his life, it would have been difficult to satisfy Satan with ordinary decorations.

“It was quite difficult to find artwork related to the Demon Lord-nim.”

If there were only decorations related to Satan, it wouldn’t be difficult to satisfy him.

‘However, it cost quite a bit of DP.’

For some reason, all the items related to Satan were sold at a high price compared to other decorations.

He deeply contemplated whether he really needed to buy the decorations at such expensive prices.

‘But I need to show a minimum level of courtesy.’

The rank of Demon Lord was not to be taken lightly, so he had to show that much sincerity.

“Well, artwork related to me must be of high artistic value, making it hard to find.”

He wasn’t sure about the high artistic value, but.

“You are absolutely right.”

The high price was a fact, so Jung Minwoo nodded in agreement.

After spending some time admiring the decorations, they moved to the dining hall.

“Oh, you seem to have put quite a lot of effort into the food as well?”

Satan, seated at the head of the table, gave a thumbs up as he looked at the food.

“We are hosting the Demon Lord-nim and his family, so we tried to serve food befitting the occasion.”

Of course, trying to prepare food worthy of their status cost a considerable amount of DP.

‘But I earned a lot of DP this time.’

Thanks to Elvis, he had earned a lot of DP, so his financial situation wouldn’t be shaken by this.

“Then, shall we eat?”

As they each started eating and enjoyed their meal.

“I heard you won a bet against the 1st ranked Demon Lord?”

Sayori spoke to Jung Minwoo.

“Yes, I was fortunate enough to win the bet.”

“How can that be luck? It’s skill.”

“Thank you for your kind words.”

“I have no choice but to be kind. Winning a bet against the Demon Lord is an achievement that most demons could never accomplish.”

Sayori responded positively to Jung Minwoo’s answer and naturally led the conversation.

“If you pass the promotion exam, you’ll instantly reach 1st Rank.”

“Yes, that’s why I plan to put my life on the line for the promotion exam.”

“Do you have any plans after reaching 1st Rank?”

To Sayori’s question, Jung Minwoo answered with a serious look.

“I will challenge for the position of Demon Lord.”

It might sound arrogant.

‘He has extraordinary ambition.’

Sayori found this aspect of him even more attractive.

‘If it’s this demon, it wouldn’t be strange if he actually became a Demon Lord.’

It hadn’t been long since she got to know Jung Minwoo, but seeing his actions, she felt he was more than capable of becoming a Demon Lord.

“How do you plan to prepare for the promotion exam?”

Satan, who had been listening to the conversation, interjected with a question for Jung Minwoo.

“I haven’t thought about that part yet, as I was busy preparing for the party.”

To Jung Minwoo’s answer, Satan pointed a finger at himself and said.

“Shall I help you out a bit?”

“…You, the Demon Lord-nim?”

“The events for the promotion exam are randomly selected each time, so if you prepare incorrectly, there’s a chance of failing the exam.”

“…Then, wouldn’t you be unable to help?”

Satan answered with a meaningful smile.

“Normally, that would be the case, but surprisingly, the Demon Lord can directly select the events for the promotion exam.”

In other words, he was offering to help Jung Minwoo prepare by letting him know the exam events in advance.

“…That would be a tremendous help.”

Jung Minwoo understood what Satan meant and nodded with shining eyes.

Of course, one might worry that other Demon Lords would protest if this fact came to light.
Th i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m k i ng mt l . o r g

‘But who would dare complain directly to the Demon Lord?’

No one would be bold enough to argue with Satan, who held the most power after ‘Masin’.

‘Except for Baal, maybe…’

But he had been dealt a heavy blow by Satan this time, so he would know how to behave.

“And how about we set the event for this promotion exam to ‘Duel’?”

To Satan’s following words, Jung Minwoo replied with a confident smile.

“It’s an event I excel at.”

“There could be unforeseen variables, so I thought it would be best to choose the event you’re most confident in.”

“Thank you. I will make sure to pass the promotion exam.”

To Jung Minwoo’s expression of gratitude, Satan shrugged.

“Of course, after all the help I’m giving you, you can’t fail.”

Then, Satan turned his gaze towards the Jungsin Cult members and said.

“This goes for you all as well. Make sure to pass the promotion exam.”

He relayed the same message he had given to Jung Minwoo to the Jungsin Cult members.

“””We’ll keep that in mind.”””

The Jungsin Cult members bowed their heads, expressing their gratitude to Satan.

After receiving help with the promotion exam.

“Now that we’ve finished eating, shall we move on to the gifts I’ve prepared?”

Satan announced that it was time for gift giving.

“I’ve put a lot of thought into choosing them, so you’ll all be satisfied when you receive them.”

Then, Satan opened a subspace, reached inside, and.

Swoosh—

He pulled out a cart labeled ‘VIP’.

‘A card?’

Jung Minwoo expressed his curiosity upon seeing the card.

“To explain this card, it’s a pass that allows you to use a shop exclusive to Demon Lords.”

Satan kindly explained the card.

“You can only use it 10 times, so use it wisely.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

T h i s w a s c op i ed f r o m ki ng mtl. o r g
Jung Minwoo carefully accepted the card from Satan.

‘If it’s a shop exclusive to Demon Lords, there must be better quality items than in ordinary shops.’

Deciding to use it later, he was putting the ‘VIP’ card into subspace when.

“Is it my turn now?”

Lilith pulled out a luxuriously wrapped box.

“…Lilith-nim, you prepared a gift as well?”

He was flustered by the unexpected gift from Lilith.

“Well, did you think I would only prepare a gift for myself when coming with my family?”

Satan patted his shoulder with a playful smile.

“…I will gratefully accept it.”

Jung Minwoo took the gift and opened the box.

‘…Pills?’

He could see five black pills inside.

“These are pills called ‘Magihwan’, and they have the effect of increasing your total demonic energy by 10%.”

Jung Minwoo couldn’t hide his surprise at Lilith’s explanation.

‘Increasing total demonic energy by 10%…?’

One might think 10% is a small number, but the fact that it could increase total demonic energy without any drawbacks made it an incredible effect.

“Once you take one, you can never benefit from the ‘Magihwan’ again, so consume them carefully.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

After receiving Lilith’s gift.

“Is it my turn now?”

Sayori, who was standing behind, walked forward.

“I’m sure this will be the best gift you’ve received among all the others.”

Sayori’s confident statement made Jung Minwoo inwardly anticipate.

‘The gifts so far have been amazing, but something better than this…?’

He was curious about what kind of gift she would give when.

“Here you go.”

Sayori took out a sealed envelope from her pocket and handed it to him.

‘An envelope?’

Jung Minwoo took the envelope, pulled out the paper inside, and the moment he checked its contents.

“…”

He couldn’t show any reaction.

The content written on the paper was quite shocking.

T h is w as c o p ied f r o m kin g m t l .o r g
[One-day date ticket with Sayori]

Th i s w a s c o pi e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
Who would ever think of giving a date ticket as a gift?

“Hehe, are you surprised?”

“…I am surprised. I will gratefully accept the gift.”

Jung Minwoo forced a smile and expressed his gratitude to Sayori.

‘Seriously, what kind of demon gives a date ticket as a gift?’

Of course, it’s a gift you might give to your lover.

‘But we’ve only met three times, including this one, and we’re complete strangers…’

Since they weren’t lovers, he was baffled.

He was about to ask why she gave him such a gift, but.

“Wow, Minwoo, you got the best gift!”

Satan’s envious words prevented him from asking.

‘He seems genuinely envious, should I give this to Satan?’

Since Satan seemed envious, he thought about giving the date ticket to him.

“Oh my, our Sayori has never given a gift like this before. You must really like Minwoo-nim.”

Lilith’s following words forced Jung Minwoo to reconsider.

‘If I give it to him, I’ll be in big trouble…?’

In the end, Jung Minwoo had no choice but to put the date ticket in his pocket.

“Feel free to use it whenever you want.”

He wondered if he would ever use the date ticket.

“…I will use it someday.”

He couldn’t say what he was thinking, so he responded as politely as possible.

“Hehe, alright.”

After the gift-giving ceremony ended.

“Minwoo-nim, I would like to talk to you for a moment, if you don’t mind?”

Sayori pointed to the balcony and suggested they have a conversation.

‘…I have a feeling something troublesome is about to happen.’

Jung Minwoo had a hunch that something bothersome would occur if he followed Sayori.

“…Alright.”

With no excuse to refuse, Jung Minwoo accepted her offer and followed her.
