The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Demon Lord Company (5)

‘Damn it……’

Evolo frowned, glaring at the demons clinging to him.

‘Have these bastards forgotten their manners?’

He mentally added the demons who had barged in without any manners to his ‘blacklist.’

“……Everyone, if you act like this, you won’t be given any planets.”

Unlike his true feelings, he issued a roundabout warning.

Thud—

The clinging demons quickly shut their mouths with dismayed expressions.

“If you want to meet me, please make an appointment in advance. Otherwise, I won’t meet you.”

At Evolo’s words, the demons nodded with slumped shoulders.
T h i s w a s c o pi ed f r om k i n g m t l . or g

“Now that you understand, please leave.”

As he thus gave the demons an order to leave,

“……Um, this is a small token of my appreciation.”

“Then please accept at least this.”

“I’m sorry, please accept this and appease your anger.”

The demons began to offer gifts.

‘These are…… snacks?’

Checking what they handed him, he realized they were expensive luxury snacks.

“Ahem, it would be rude of me not to accept such a gesture.”

Evolo cleared his throat and subtly pointed to an empty desk in the team room.

“””Ah, yes!”””

The demons’ faces brightened, and they placed their gifts on the empty desk.

“””We’ll be going now.”””

“Yes, please make an appointment next time.”

Unlike before, Evolo gave them a benevolent smile and waved his hand.

‘Receiving snacks as gifts, what a windfall?’

In the past, there were no conflicts with other demons, so this kind of treatment felt unfamiliar.

‘It’s exhilarating.’

Apart from the unfamiliar feeling, he felt good being treated with respect.

‘The gifts alone are worth more than this month’s DP?’

A hum escaped his lips at the thought of this new source of income.

Evolo put all the gifts into his subspace.

‘Now, shall I take a look at the demons working in the office?’

He opened the door and stepped out of the team room again.

Swoosh—

Turning his head to observe the surroundings, he saw

Tuta-ta-ta-ta—

Click, click, click—

Demons working diligently with serious faces.

‘There’s not a single one slacking off……’

Seeing them working tirelessly, he realized that the competition was fiercer than he thought.

‘Well, if they have the ability, they can earn a lot of DP, so not trying is a loss for them.’

T h i s w a s c o pi ed fro m k i n g m t l. o r g
For a demon, being eliminated meant death, so he understood why they were working so hard.

‘How about the other side?’

He turned his gaze to the other side.

“Ah, hello! I’m a 9th Rank intern!”

“Nice to meet you. I’m an 8th Rank intern, and I found a good planet.”

“Do you have some time?”

“Where are you now? I’ll come over there.”

Demons with relatively low ranks were holding onto phones and making calls to other departments.

“Nice! The 7th Rank intern agreed to meet! Hey, grab the documents and let’s go to the shop right now.”

“……Uh, why the shop?”

“Don’t we need to buy at least one gift to make a good impression, you dimwitted demon!”

“Ah……! Okay!”

“Let’s go quickly!”

The demon who had secured a meeting hurriedly gathered his belongings and rushed out with his colleague.

‘The situation is the opposite of mine.’

Unlike him, who was in a position of power, the low-ranking demons were in a subservient position.

‘It’s only natural.’

The demon world was survival of the fittest, so the hierarchy was inevitably determined by ability.

‘Still, it seems like the hierarchy is more distinct than before.’

In the past, without any conflicts, it was enough to treat those with higher ranks as seniors.

‘Now they have to suck up, so their attitude has to change.’

Now, they were doing their best to make a good impression.

Some demons might miss the old days.

‘But those guys will be eliminated soon.’

Th i s was c op i e d fro m ki n g m t l . o r g
Evolo was very pleased with the current situation.

T h i s w as c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l . o r g
‘There only seem to be low-ranking demons here, so shall I move to a different area?’

Curious about the higher-ranking demons, he moved to another area.

Swoosh—

The demons working there started greeting him with nods.

‘There’s no need to greet each other since we’re of the same rank……’

Even though he was a 2nd Rank, they were divided by job title while working, so there was no obligation to greet each other.

He was momentarily puzzled by their greetings.

‘Are they already treating me as a superior?’

He soon realized the reason.

‘Well, they must be trying to get on my good side since I’ve been recognized by the Demon Lord and saw demons flocking to my team room.’

Evolo felt his shoulders shrug involuntarily and casually returned their greetings.

‘Oh, there are some higher-ranking demons here.’

He arrived at the area where the mid-ranking demons were.

“Greetings! I’m a 9th Rank intern from the ‘Corruption’ department!”

“I brought some medicine so you won’t be tired while working, Intern-nim!”

“Here are my documents! I would appreciate it if you could take a look and contact me!”

“Healthy mind, strong body! I’m a 9th Rank intern from the ‘Combat’ department. Give me a planet and I’ll kill the pigeons with my own hands!”

This time, unlike before, demons from the ‘Corruption’ and ‘Combat’ departments were visiting and eagerly promoting themselves.

“Hmm…… You didn’t come empty-handed, did you?”

“Of course not!”

“Good. Please leave your documents along with your gifts.”

“Thank you!”

“Those who came empty-handed, please leave. I don’t accept those who lack sincerity.”

At the words of the ‘Planet’ department demon, the other demons who couldn’t hand over their documents had to turn back with dejected shoulders.

‘This is intense.’

Seeing the flurry of gifts and self-promotion from day one, he couldn’t imagine how fierce the competition would become later.

‘If I were in the Combat department, I wouldn’t have received this kind of treatment.’

Even with his rank, demons from other departments would have come to flatter him.

‘But not to this extent.’

They wouldn’t have been so desperate to get on his good side.

‘Because, to be honest, I haven’t shown outstanding skills in combat.’

He guessed that they would have come to him as a second option if they were rejected by demons of the same rank.

Moreover, if he moved to the Combat department, his performance would inevitably be lower than others.

‘In other words, the only way for me to succeed is in the Planet department……’

Evolo finally admitted that he wasn’t suited for the Combat department and that the Planet department was a better fit for him.

‘……Yes, the Demon Lord was right!’

He firmly resolved to dedicate himself to the Planet department.

‘I’ll become the top of the Planet department!’

As he finished his resolution,

‘……If I stay idle, I’ll be caught up?’

He felt a sense of unease, realizing that other demons were closely following behind him.

‘No, I need to go back to the team room and continue working.’

Evolo stopped observing the demons and headed straight back to the team room.

“Did you guys find any good demons?”
T his w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m tl .o r g

As he entered, he asked his clones about the progress of the task he had entrusted to them.

“I’ve favorited all the decent ones, check it out.”

“I couldn’t find many because there weren’t many good ones.”

“They’re somewhat decent.”

“Oh, I found a slightly decent one.”

His clones replied.

“Let’s see.”

Thud—

Sitting down on his chair, he opened his favorites.

“Hmm…… Slightly above average?”

They weren’t as impressive as the 9th Rank demons he had seen earlier, but they were somewhat acceptable.

“Shall I send them a message?”
T h i s w as co pi e d fr om k in g m tl .or g

Evolo stretched his fingers lightly and opened the message window on his monitor.

“What should I say……?”

He pondered for a moment.

“I’ll just send a straightforward message.”

T hi s wa s copi e d f r o m k ingm t l. o r g
Feeling that thinking about it was pointless, he typed what he had in mind.

[This is Evolo, an intern from the Planet department. I found a decent planet. If you’re interested, please visit.]

Click—

He pressed enter and successfully sent the message to the favorited demons.

Knock, knock—

Less than a minute later, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

He granted permission to enter.

Burst—

“””Excuse us!”””

Thirty demons entered the team room.

‘Everyone who received the message came……?’

Evolo was quite surprised to see the demons who had come.

He was amazed that they had arrived within a minute, but the most surprising thing was

‘They all came……?’

The fact that everyone who received the message had come.

‘I thought some wouldn’t come……’

He had assumed that some demons wouldn’t see the message because they were busy with meetings, but surprisingly, everyone had come to the team room without exception.

“We apologize for coming empty-handed, so we brought some snacks for you to enjoy while you work.”

“I brought some tonic to help you focus on your work……”
T h i s wa s c o pi ed fr o m k in g m t l . o r g

“I brought something that’s good for stamina……”

.

After the barrage of gifts,

“Thank you for the gifts.”

He was finally able to get to the main point.

“It would be helpful if you could line up by department for easy identification.”

At Evolo’s request,
T h i s wa s co p ied f rom ki ng m t l . or g

Chuck, chuck—

The demons lined up neatly according to their departments.

Fifteen from the ‘Corruption’ department, fifteen from the ‘Combat’ department.

He had four planets available, so only four from each department would receive one.

Of course, if they hadn’t formed teams, more demons could have received them.

“First, let me briefly explain the first planet.”

Evolo projected a hologram of the first planet and began his explanation.

“As you can see, not only is the planet large, but it’s also inhabited by many higher beings. However, there’s a 9th Rank pigeon residing there, so I’ll only offer this planet to demons between 9th and 7th Rank.”

After finishing his explanation,

“Is there anyone who meets the criteria and is interested?”

Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . or g
He asked if there was anyone who wanted to invade the planet.

Flash—

Ten demons raised their hands simultaneously.

“The demon in front, have you formed a team yet?”

“Ah, not yet.”

“I see. How about the others?”

“””Uh, no.”””

“Then, how about you all form a team and invade this planet together?”

It was perfect because there were five from the ‘Corruption’ department and five from the ‘Combat’ department.

“””We’ll do it.”””

The demons sensed that they wouldn’t get another chance if they refused and agreed.

“Good. I’ll send the planet file to your accounts.”

The demons smiled brightly at the promise of a planet, but

“If the invasion fails, you won’t be offered a planet again.”

Their faces stiffened at the additional remark.

“The invasion will begin in one day. If you don’t proceed, the planet will be retrieved.”

“””Ah, we understand!”””

“You’ll be busy preparing for the invasion, so you may leave now.”

After the ten demons left,

“Let me introduce the second planet.”

Evolo continued explaining the next planet.

He finished distributing all the remaining planets and was able to end his work for the day.

‘I need to go home and unwind.’

Evolo went home to rest, but his four clones remained in the team room, working tirelessly.

A week later.

Evolo achieved remarkable results and was promoted to the position of ‘Managing Director,’ a significant achievement.
