The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Demon Lord’s Castle (2)

After arriving at the mansion.

“Let’s go inside.”

Jung Minwoo opened the mansion door and went inside with the Demon Communion members.

Creak—

‘Hmm?’

Originally, the Head Butler and servants would have been waiting for them at the designated time, but……

‘Did something happen? Why is there no one here?’

There was no one at the door.

He was puzzled by the absence of any presence, but……

‘I don’t know where they went, but they’ll be back when it’s time.’

He thought there must be something he didn’t know about and decided not to dwell on it.

‘For now, shall I pack my things?’

Originally, he had planned to have the servants help him unpack, but……

‘It would be better to do it in advance in case I can’t unpack on time while waiting.’

He decided to unpack a little rather than just wait.

“We’ll be busy from tomorrow morning, so let’s go to our respective rooms and pack our things…… Hmm?”

Just as he was telling the Demon Communion members to unpack……

Creak—

Thud, thud, thud.

The sound of a door opening from the basement and the sound of numerous footsteps could be heard.

‘Are they servants?’

He could tell they were coming up, suppressing their presence as much as possible, as if trying to approach secretly.

‘Why are they hiding their presence?’
Th i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l.o rg

As he was looking at the passage leading down to the basement with a puzzled look……

Thud, thud, thud.

The Head Butler appeared from there, and……

Step, step, step.

The Head Maid and other servants followed, carrying a giant cake.

‘A cake?’

It was the size of 10 adult men combined.

‘……When did they prepare that?’

As he was admiring the giant cake inwardly……

“Great Master-nim, we sincerely congratulate you on becoming the 72nd ranked Demon Lord!”

The Head Butler knelt on one knee and offered his congratulations.

“””Congratulations!!!”””

The other servants, except for those carrying the giant cake, also knelt on one knee and offered their congratulations.

“Thank you all.”

Jung Minwoo felt grateful for their unexpected event and expressed his thanks to the servants.

“……Great Master-nim!”

Suddenly, the Head Butler called him in a tearful voice……

“It was a short time, but I will never forget the fact that I was able to serve the Great Master-nim and the Little Master-nim.”

He smiled bitterly and said that he was happy to be with them.

“It’s just a shame that I can’t follow the Great Master-nim……”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m kin g m t l .or g

His voice was filled with genuine regret.

Seeing the regretful expressions on the faces of the other servants, he knew they were thinking the same thing as the Head Butler, without even having to confirm it with ‘Mind’s Eye’.

‘Shall I bring it up now?’

Seeing the servants’ reactions, he felt it was the right time to bring up ‘that talk’.

“Do the others besides the Head Butler want to follow us too?”

When he asked the servants……

Nod—

They nodded without a single second of hesitation.

“That’s good. I wanted to be with you guys too.”

“Great Master-nim……”

“So, I’ll make you an offer.”

“An offer-imnikka?”

“Yes, would you like to come with me to the Demon Lord’s Castle?”

As you might have guessed from the conversation, ‘that talk’ was an offer to go to the Demon Lord’s Castle together.

The servants’ faces brightened at the offer, but……

“””……”””

Their expressions soon darkened again.

“……I would love to follow you, but my affiliation……”

The Head Butler stammered, trying to explain why they couldn’t follow him, when……

“If you can’t follow me because of your different affiliation, you don’t have to worry.”

Jung Minwoo cut him off and opened his mouth.

“What do you mean by not having to worry……?”

“Do you think I would have made this offer without thinking about that? I’ve already gotten permission from the Demon Lord, so you can transfer to my affiliation anytime if you want.”

“Ah……!”

The Head Butler let out a gasp of surprise when he heard that permission had already been granted……

“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve the Great Master-nim and the Little Master-nim! This Head Butler! I swear to serve you for the rest of my life!!!”

He placed his hand on his chest and swore his allegiance with a determined expression.

“This Head Maid! I swear to serve you for the rest of my life!”

“Me too……!”

“Me too……!!!”

.

.

.

.

The Head Maid and other servants behind him also said they would swear their allegiance.

“I like your quick decisions.”

Jung Minwoo looked at them with a satisfied expression and then……
T h i s wa s co p i e d f ro m ki n g m tl . o r g

“I’ll be counting on you.”

He placed his hand on the Head Butler’s shoulder and patted it lightly.

“Sob…… I understand!”

The Head Butler burst into tears, perhaps overjoyed at the fact that he could continue serving him.

“I didn’t know he was such a crybaby.”

Jung Minwoo comforted the Head Butler, while……

‘Now I have competent people.’

He was inwardly delighted to have more people to work for him.

‘Now that they’re mine, I can use them however I want.’

Afterwards, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members ate the giant cake that the servants had prepared with care, and then they had time to pack their things.

T h i s wa s c o p i e d f ro m k i ngm t l . o r g

The next morning.

“Great Master-nim, I will darken your eyebrows to express your dignity.”

“Okay.”

“I will comb your hair to the side for a neat and intense look.”

“Go ahead.”

“I have prepared black outfits for you to evoke the image of a Demon Lord.”

“I’ll wear that.”

Jung Minwoo was being groomed by the butlers and maids.

‘Every time I get this, I feel like getting dressed up is a chore too.’

One might say that if he didn’t like being groomed, he could just not do it, but……

‘……There’s no reason for me to refuse.’

He had no choice but to accept the grooming because the Head Butler insisted that he had to dress accordingly for his first entry into the Demon Lord’s Castle.

‘Well, it’s a chore to be groomed, but the effect is definitely there.’

Perhaps because he was receiving the touch of skilled professionals, the results were quite satisfactory, apart from the hardship.

If he used to have the image of a handsome young man……

‘Now, it’s no joke.’

After being groomed, he was transformed into a look that could be compared to…… no, even better than the celebrities of Earth in his previous life.

A change that was hard to believe even with his own eyes.

‘The makeup is makeup, but the horns on my forehead also played a part in the change.’

As he became a Demon Lord, the small, straight horns grew even larger and curved like those of a black goat.

Actually, he thought there would be other changes besides this, but nothing else changed except the horns.

‘Maybe it’s a good thing that there are no other changes?’

He would have felt a sense of incongruity if his appearance had changed for no reason, so in a way, it was a good thing that it hadn’t changed.

When he finished all the grooming……

“Please check your overall appearance in the full-length mirror.”

The maid brought a full-length mirror and showed him his reflection.

“Oh……”

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
He couldn’t help but let out an exclamation of admiration as he checked his reflection in the mirror.

“This is no joke……”

He didn’t realize it when he only looked at his face, but when he looked at it as a whole, he exuded a sophisticated aura.

“Thank you.”

Jung Minwoo thanked the butler and maid who helped him get dressed, and they……

“””You’re welcome. This is our job.”””

They replied with proud expressions.

“Then, shall we go outside?”
T h i s w a s c op i e d f r o m kin g m t l. o rg

When he went outside after finishing getting ready……

“You’re here?”

“Why are you so late?”

“……Minwoo is the last one again.”

“Minwoo! Ribbit, ribbit.”

He could see the Demon Communion members in the hallway.

“You all look great.”

Perhaps because they were all dressed up, they looked more stylish than usual.

“Minwoo-nim is more handsome.”

“Now that you’re a Demon Lord, you’ve got a lot of weight on your shoulders.”

“……Thanks for the compliment.”

“Haha, you look a little cool, don’t you? Ribbit, ribbit.”

Just as they were talking about how they dressed up……

“Great Master-nim? Little Master-nim? We just received a call that the carriage sent from the Demon Lord’s Castle has arrived nearby.”

The Head Butler approached and informed them that the carriage would be arriving soon.

“Really? Shall we wait outside?”

As he moved to the front door with the Demon Communion members……

Clatter, clatter, clatter.

Just in time, he could see the dazzling carriages entering the front gate.

Then, the carriages stopped in front of the mansion……

Burst open—
T h i s w as c o p i e d f ro m k ing m tl. o rg

Thud—

Demons got out of the carriages and knelt on one knee.

“We have come to escort the 72nd ranked Demon Lord, Jung Minwoo-nim!”

And Evolo came forward as a representative and greeted him in a loud voice.

“Okay.”

Jung Minwoo raised his hand in response to the greeting and scanned the demons who had gotten off the carriage.

‘Quite a few came to greet me.’

Contrary to his expectation that only a small number of people would come, there were quite a few of them.

This wa s co p i e d f ro m kin g m t l . o rg
There were so many that he couldn’t see the end of the line of people getting off the carriages.

‘Did they pay attention because it’s my first arrival?’

It must be a show of force, but he felt good to see so many people moving for him.

“Did you prepare the data I asked you to prepare?”

He turned his gaze towards Evolo and mentioned what he had ordered before.

“……Yes! I have all the data you ordered in the carriage.”

Evolo nodded confidently.

“Then let’s get in the carriage and move right away.”

“Yes!”

As he was guided into the first carriage……

‘Oh, it’s neat.’

He could see that the documents were organized by category.

‘I was worried because his reaction wasn’t good when I ordered him before, but now I can rest assured and give him orders comfortably.’

Just as he was thinking about how hard he should make him work……

Flinch—

Evolo, who was about to close the carriage door, trembled and looked at him with an uneasy look.

“Why?”

“……N, nothing.”

Evolo scratched his head and closed the carriage door.

‘Did he sense that I was going to make him work hard?’

Jung Minwoo was impressed by Evolo’s keen sense of perception……

‘Maybe I can use it for other things besides this?’

He left open the possibility of giving him other tasks.

After the carriage departed……

‘Let’s take a look.’

Jung Minwoo picked up the documents to check the troops stationed in the Demon Lord’s Castle.
T h i s wa s c op ie d fr o m k in g m t l . or g

‘About 1,000 people are stationed in the Demon Lord’s Castle……’

As he continued to look through the contents……

‘Their levels are all too low.’

He could see that their ranks were low for troops stationed in the Demon Lord’s Castle.

‘Most of them are below 6th Rank……?’

Considering that most of the people stationed at the Demon Lord’s Castle were of high rank when he was there, it was a power that was too incomparable.

‘I knew that the power would be low because I’m the 72nd ranked, but…… this is really too much.’

He had easily gained subordinates through contracts, but it was a headache because they weren’t a force he could use right away.

‘I need to raise the overall rank and increase the power.’

There was still a lot of time left before the Earth fusion was completed, so he thought it would be fine if he could make them work as demons within that time.

‘Next, let’s see the demons living in the territory.’

He had hoped that there might be some decent demons among the residents, but……

‘Tsk, this is even worse.’

T h i s wa s c o pie d f r o m ki n g m tl . o r g
Most of them didn’t have a rank, or even if they did, they were only 9th Rank.

‘A major reinforcement is needed.’

He would have to change a lot of things to raise the level of the residents as well.

Just as he finished checking all the documents prepared by the 2nd Rank demons……

‘We’ll be there soon.’

The Demon Lord’s Castle began to appear in the distance.
