The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 205

Chapter 205: Reorganization (1)

“This is the training room exclusively for affiliated demons.”

“It’s nice and spacious.”

The environment seemed quite decent, considering the large scale and well-equipped facilities.

‘I knew Andromalius spent DP like water, but I didn’t know he would spend it on facilities.’

Contrary to his expectations that it would be shabby, it seemed comparable to the Demon Lord’s Castle’s training room.

‘There are times when you’re helpful.’

Jung Minwoo felt grateful that he didn’t have to spend DP on the facilities.

“Oh my, the facilities are nice……?”

“I was worried it might not be great, but this is pretty good?”

“……I’m glad.”

“Ooh, unlike our worries, it’s good?! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members seemed to have the same thoughts, letting out soft exclamations of admiration as they looked around the facilities.

“The previous Demon Lord was incompetent, but the facilities here are still praised.”

According to Evolo, this was his only achievement.

‘Equipping facilities was his only achievement……?’

For a moment, he was disgusted by Andromalius’ incompetence, but.

‘No, it’s better to have at least one.’

He changed his mind and decided to be grateful for having at least one achievement.

“Let’s move on to the next location, the lounge for affiliated demons.”

Th is wa s co pi ed f r o m k i ngm tl .o r g
When they arrived at the lounge following Evolo.

“This is a bit excessive……?”

Jung Minwoo frowned at the excessively furnished lounge.

“The sofa is fine, but isn’t the bed too much……?”

A bed for demons who don’t need sleep, unless they’re higher beings?

This was nothing but a waste of DP.

“Top-quality coffee, tea, and snacks…… The taxes must have been leaking out?”

Moreover, it was no exaggeration to say that snacks and coffee were the ultimate luxury for demons.

“He really spends recklessly because it’s not his own DP.”

He knew Andromalius was extravagant, but he wondered if this wasn’t crossing the line.

At least the food could be justified as being for restoring energy, but.

‘Not the drinks and snacks.’

It was absurd to say that they were eating the drinks in those small cups and the finger-sized snacks to recover energy.

Wouldn’t it be more normal to eat cheaper and more plentiful food than to have expensive drinks and snacks?

“Evolo?”

“Yes, Demon Lord-nim.”

Jung Minwoo pointed to the bed, drinks, and snacks and said to Evolo.

“Sell all of that and convert it to DP. And from now on, don’t bring drinks and snacks into the lounge.”

“……Ah, I understand.”

Evolo seemed disappointed, licking his lips as he nodded.

“Let’s move on to the next location.”

“Alright.”

Afterwards, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members spent time looking around the facilities, including the dining hall, office, library, and meeting room.

After inspecting all the facilities for affiliated demons……

“From now on, I will guide you to the Demon Lord’s exclusive facilities.”

Evolo announced that he would guide them to the Demon Lord’s facilities.

They continued to inspect the facilities one by one.

‘As expected of the Demon Lord’s facilities, they’re even better.’

Although there were some excessive expenditures here and there, from the perspective of a Demon Lord, he could give a fairly satisfactory assessment.

“This is the executive office.”

When they entered the executive office……

‘Hmm, it’s neat?’

He could see that it was decorated in a classy and luxurious manner.

“This is where we will work?”

“It looks like it would be enjoyable to work here.”

“……I like it.”

“I have an office now too! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Jungsin Cult members were also pleased, admiring the office as they looked around.

“The desks are located in the corners, so the space feels more spacious.”

As Venus said, there were four desks placed in each corner.

“With a table in the office, it would be good to have brief meetings here.”

In addition, there was a round table in the center, making it convenient for meetings.

“Now, lastly, I will guide you to the Demon Lord’s office.”

“Okay.”

Jung Minwoo nodded at Evolo’s words and was about to follow him when……

“We will stay here and look around a bit more.”

Venus said she would look around a bit more and follow later.

“Alright, take your time and come over later.”

With that, he stepped out into the hallway with Evolo and started walking.

“This is Demon Lord-nim’s office.”

When they arrived at the Demon Lord’s office……

“……The nameplate is unique.”

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m ki ng m t l. or g
He could see an ornately decorated nameplate hanging on the office door.

He had a bad feeling that the interior would also be extravagant, but……

“……Let’s go right in.”

Thinking that it would just be the nameplate, he entered the office.

Creak―

“Hmm……”

However, his prediction turned out to be completely wrong.

Looking at the interior of the office, it was as if it rivaled the audience chamber of a higher being, no, it was even more extravagantly decorated.

Twinkle, twinkle―

‘……It’s all gilded.’
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k ing m tl . o r g

Jung Minwoo decided that he would have the office redecorated like the executive office.

As he was looking around the office……

“Huh?”

He noticed a pile of things stacked in one corner.

“What’s that?”

He pointed at the pile and asked Evolo what it was.

“This morning, the Demon Lords sent these as gifts to congratulate you on your promotion.”

Evolo answered that they were gifts sent by the Demon Lords.

‘Gifts……’

He approached the pile of items and examined them.

‘They’re all just expensive things.’

He could tell they were all quite pricey.

‘As expected of Demon Lords, they’re quite generous.’

He was impressed by their ability to send such a large number of gifts in just one day.

Just as he was about to pick up the items and examine them in detail……

“Demon Lord-nim, here is the list of Demon Lords who sent gifts.”

Evolo took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him.

‘Right, it’s better to check who sent them first.’

He thought it would be easier to check the list first since it would tell him who sent what gift.

“Thanks.”

He received the paper and looked at the list.

‘Quite a lot of Demon Lords sent gifts.’

He could see that a considerable number of Demon Lords had sent gifts.

‘And there are quite a few who didn’t send anything.’

[List of Demon Lords who didn’t send gifts]

Great Demon Lord – Satan

1st Rank Demon Lord – Baal

30th Rank Demon Lord – Forneus

None of the Demon Lords from 1st to 30th rank had sent gifts.

‘I guess they don’t want to maintain a good relationship with me.’

Not sending a gift could be interpreted as not wanting any relationship at all.

Of course, the Great Demon Lord, who was at the top of the list, was an exception.

T hi s wa s co pi ed f r o m k in gm t l . or g
‘Satan is bound by a contract, and he’s not someone who would just let it slide.’

Considering the Great Demon Lord’s personality, it was highly likely that he hadn’t sent a gift because he planned to give one at the party.

‘I don’t need to be particularly nice to those who didn’t send gifts.’

Since they were acting this way from the start, he could easily distinguish friend from foe without much effort.

‘The 30th Rank Demon Lord, Forneus, didn’t send anything either.’

He was planning to target the 30th Rank Demon Lord for his next Challenge for the Throne, but it was as if he had read his mind and decided not to send a gift.

‘This way, I won’t feel bad.’

Demons could challenge each other for the throne regardless of their rank, so he could immediately challenge the 30th Rank Demon Lord to a ‘Challenge for the Throne’.

However, unlike the 1st Rank, the rules were different for challenges between Demon Lords, so he couldn’t challenge right away.

‘I’ll have to ask Satan about the rules separately.’

He planned to proceed with the Challenge for the Throne as soon as he was ready.

‘I will definitely climb to at least 30th rank before the Earth fusion is complete.’

Finishing his thoughts, Jung Minwoo put the list away in his subspace.

‘Now, shall I check the gifts?’

He decided to check the gifts that the Demon Lords had sent.

To properly examine them, he used his ‘Demon Eye’.

‘Oh, the demonic energy is quite strong?’

He could see the thick demonic energy imbued in the items.

‘Shall I look at them in order from least to most?’

He decided to check the gifts in order of the amount of demonic energy, starting with the least and ending with the most.

Most of them were impractical luxury goods, but……

‘Oh, they gave this as a gift?’

On the other hand, there were also practical gifts.

‘These three are my favorites.’

Those gifts were……

Equipment Enhancement Artifact.
T h i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g m tl. or g

Demonic Energy Storage Bracelet.

Infinite Diary.

They had clear uses.

‘I need all of them.’

The Equipment Enhancement Artifact was good for increasing his power by using it on the ring he was currently wearing.

The Demonic Energy Storage Bracelet would be of great help in emergencies when he was running low on demonic energy.

Th i s wa s c o p i e d f ro m ki ng mt l. o rg
Lastly, the Infinite Diary was the ultimate in practicality, allowing him to write infinitely as long as he injected it with demonic energy, as well as search for information.

Although they were the three most satisfying gifts, what was a bit strange was……

‘All the gifts I liked came from one person.’

They were all sent by the 71st Rank Demon Lord, Dantalion.

Furthermore, he was the only Demon Lord who had sent three gifts, unlike the others who had only sent one.

‘This means that he wants to form a cooperative relationship with me, beyond just being friendly.’

There were many advantages to forming a cooperative relationship, so he decided that it would be better to form one with someone who had shown favor.

‘Of course, if he’s incompetent, it would be difficult to form a cooperative relationship no matter how much he liked me.’
T his was c o pi e d f r o m k i n gm tl .o r g

Of course, that was under the premise that he was competent.

‘First, it’s only polite to meet him in person and express my gratitude.’

He was planning to write thank-you letters to the Demon Lords, but he decided to visit Dantalion in person.

“Evolo?”

“Yes, Demon Lord-nim.”

“Make an appointment with the 71st Rank Demon Lord, Dantalion.”

“When should I make it for?”

T h i s w as c o p i ed f r o m k i ngm t l . o r g
“Make it whenever is convenient for him.”

“Understood.”

After Evolo left the office to make the appointment……

‘It wouldn’t be polite to leave the gifts untouched, so shall I use them right away?’

Jung Minwoo decided to use the gift from Dantalion right away and picked up the ‘Equipment Enhancement Artifact’.

Woooong.

Then, as he injected it with demonic energy……

【Please select the equipment to be enhanced】

A message window popped up in front of him.

“I want to enhance this.”

He pointed at the ring on his finger and said he wanted to enhance it.

Woooong.

The ring began to glow with light.

【Enhancement has been successfully completed】

Then, along with the message that the enhancement was complete……

Swoosh―

The ring melted and seeped into the shadow.

“……Huh?”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr om k in g m tl . or g

He was bewildered by the sudden turn of events. Just then……

【It has been given the epithet ‘Shadow’ as a result of the enhancement】

【From now on, ‘Shadow’ will live as your shadow】

Thanks to the message window that popped up, he was able to understand why it had seeped into the shadow.

‘A shadow equipment…… That’s amazing.’

A shadow equipment would be useful for deception and surprise attacks.

‘There might be other changes besides this, so I need to check.’

He decided to take some time to carefully examine ‘Shadow’ later, and picked up the next gifts.

‘I can wear the Demonic Energy Storage Bracelet on my wrist, and put the Infinite Diary in my subspace.’

After putting away all the gifts from Dantalion……

“Now, shall I write the letters?”

He decided to write letters to the Demon Lords who had sent him gifts.

Thud―

He sat down on the chair, took out the parchment from the drawer, and……

Scritch, scritch, scritch―

He dipped the fountain pen on the desk in ink and began writing on the parchment.

‘If I write too little, it might seem insincere, so I should write a lot.’

There wasn’t much to write, but having written dozens of ‘cover letters’ in his previous life on Earth, he was an expert at embellishing content.

“Phew, I’m done.”

By the time he finished writing the letters, the sky had already darkened.
