The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 219
Chapter 219: A Grand Party (2)
As the carriage moved forward.
T hi s w a s c o p i ed fr o m k i n gmt l . o r g
“Demon Lord-nim, congratulations!”
“Please lead the Demon World together with our Great Demon Lord-nim!”
“I’ve admired you since you were part of the Great Demon Lord’s Castle!”
The residents showered them with black flower petals and offered their congratulations.
Also, young demons approached the carriage.
“Con, congratulations!”
“De, Demon Lord-nim, please accept this bouquet.”
They held out bouquets.
“Thank you.”
Jung Minwoo smiled brightly and accepted the bouquets from the children.
Chuckle—
As if happy that he had accepted the flowers, the children smiled brightly and returned to their parents.
‘……Really, this is beyond expectations.’
Jung Minwoo couldn’t help but be surprised by the fact that Satan had prepared such an event while receiving the congratulations of the demons.
At first glance, it was a similar picture to when he first entered the Demon Lord’s Castle.
‘But that’s because it’s a place I manage.’
Being congratulated in his own territory and being congratulated in another’s territory was different.
‘Because there’s never been a time when I’ve been congratulated in a land ruled by another Demon Lord.’
For that reason, both he and the Jungsin Cult members couldn’t help but be impressed.
Around the time the bouquets he received piled up in the carriage.
Screech—
They arrived in front of the Great Demon Lord’s Castle.
“Shall we get off?”
When Jung Minwoo got off the carriage with the Jungsin Cult members.
“It’s been a while.”
A seductive female voice was heard.
‘This voice……’
Jung Minwoo turned his head in the direction of the voice.
“You’ve gotten even more handsome since I last saw you?”
A woman with beautiful looks and red hair waved her hand gracefully.
A seductive charm that felt sexy just by waving her hand.
Thanks to her unique appearance, Jung Minwoo was able to recognize her as soon as he saw her.
T h i s w a s co p i ed f r o m k i n g m t l.o rg
“It’s Sayori-nim, isn’t it?”
Her identity was ‘Sayori’, the Great Demon Lord’s daughter.
“Oh my, you remember me?”
“Of course.”
She’s the Great Demon Lord’s daughter, of course he should remember her, shouldn’t he?
Moreover, he couldn’t forget her because she had flirted with him at the restaurant and gave him a ‘One Day Date Ticket with Sayori’ as a gift, leaving a strong impression.
“Heheh, is that so?”
Sayori, who seemed to have taken it in a different meaning, blushed slightly and said,
“I dressed up today because I heard Minwoo-nim was coming. What do you think?”
She suddenly showed him her clothes and asked for his evaluation.
He wanted to just answer that she looked pretty and move on.
Th i s w as c op i e d fr o m k i n g m t l . o r g
‘But since she’s Satan’s daughter, I can’t treat her carelessly.’
He decided to answer sincerely for the sake of his business with the Great Demon Lord.
Jung Minwoo lowered his gaze to look at the clothes Sayori was wearing.
He could see that she was wearing a red dress like Anubis.
The skirt length was the same, reaching down to her ankles.
‘But this dress is made in one piece.’
Unlike Anubis’s dress, there was no exposure because the fabric was made in one piece without any slits.
However, because of her voluptuous figure, it gave the illusion that she was exposed.
‘And she combined accessories that match the dress well.’
She wore a jeweled necklace, earrings, and long leather gloves, complementing the dress that could have looked plain.
Moreover, since all the colors were unified in black, it blended well with the red dress, giving off an elegant and classy feeling.
He even thought that if his taste was in Sayori’s direction rather than Venus’s, he would have already fallen for her, as she was very beautiful.
Jung Minwoo honestly expressed his thoughts.
“What, you’re making me shy by praising me so specifically.”
Sayori twisted her body, came closer to him, and linked her arm with his.
This wa s c o p i e d f r o m kin g m tl . o r g
“……The arm linking is a bit……”
Jung Minwoo expressed his refusal and tried to pull out his arm.
“Oh, come on, arm linking? I’m just doing this to escort you.”
Sayori dug deeper and linked her arm with his.
“”……””
At that moment, the atmosphere turned cold.
T hi s w a s c o p i e d fro m k ing m tl .or g
A coldness that felt like a chill.
Jung Minwoo felt a stinging gaze on his back and slightly turned his head.
Crackle, crackle—
Venus and Elin were staring at Sayori with murderous eyes.
‘This…… I can’t do anything about this, can I?’
Jung Minwoo felt embarrassed inwardly and only hoped that this situation would pass quietly, but.
“Hmph.”
Sayori, as if she had no intention of doing so, scoffed at Venus and Elin.
“”?!””
If she wasn’t Satan’s daughter, it seemed like they would have started a fight right away.
‘Sigh, I don’t know anymore.’
Jung Minwoo chose to keep his mouth shut, thinking that the situation could get worse if he intervened.
“Minwoo-nim, now that your rank is higher than mine, please speak comfortably.”
However, Sayori, as if she wouldn’t allow even that, smiled brightly and spoke to him.
“No, I’m comfortable with this.”
“But it would be better to speak comfortably……”
“I’ll speak comfortably later when we get closer.”
“Promise?”
“……Yes.”
Only after they pinky swore could they enter the Great Demon Lord’s Castle.
Thud, thud, thud—
Click, click, click—
Silence, not a single word was spoken throughout the entire walk.
‘I can’t help but be conscious of them.’
Tingle, tingle—
Jung Minwoo felt as if he was walking a tightrope on a cliff the entire time he was walking down the hallway.
After what felt like an eternity.
“We’ve arrived.”
They arrived in front of the banquet hall.
“”Salute!””
The demons guarding the door saluted.
“Demon Lord-nim, we’ll help you with your invitation verification.”
They asked for his invitation, just like they did at the gate.
‘Is it really necessary to check it twice?’
Jung Minwoo felt a little puzzled, but he took out the invitation from the subspace and handed it over.
“Thank you.”
The demon who received it didn’t even check the contents and just held the invitation to the door.
Click—
The lock on the door was released.
‘So that’s why they asked for the invitation.’
They said that this party was prepared grandly, and it seemed like they paid a lot of attention to security as well.
“We’ll open the door.”
Whoosh—
Then the two demons grabbed the doorknob of the banquet hall.
“Have a pleasant party.”
They opened the door and bowed their heads.
“Thank you.”
Sayori patted the demon’s shoulder and led Jung Minwoo by the arm into the banquet hall.
“……”
Jung Minwoo couldn’t help but be astonished by the sight that unfolded as he entered the banquet hall.
If you ask if he was surprised because it was too grand, unfortunately, it wasn’t that.
Literally, astonished.
The sight before his eyes far exceeded his expectations.
‘What is that……?’
The first thing that caught his eye was a giant statue modeled after himself.
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle—
And it was a gold statue, no less.
‘And what’s with the pose?’
He was pointing at the sky and smiling brightly.
Perhaps because it was made of gold, his teeth were shining so brightly that it was hard to look directly at it.
‘Surely, other places aren’t like this, right?’
Jung Minwoo moved his gaze, feeling uneasy.
‘Oh no……’
Not only were there several statues modeled after him, but there were also portraits hanging on the walls.
‘I underestimated Satan’s taste……’
Because he had seen the normal celebratory atmosphere at the gate, the shock was doubled.
“Dad had each one commissioned to artisans. You like it, right?”
Sayori, whose taste seemed to be similar to her father’s, expressed great satisfaction as she looked at the statues and portraits.
“……I, I like it.”
He couldn’t bring himself to say he didn’t like it, so he replied that it was okay.
“That’s a relief. Dad said he’ll give you the statues and portraits as gifts after the party. He’s confident that it’s the most memorable gift among all the Demon Lords.”
She told him the shocking news that these would be sent as gifts.
“……It’s definitely memorable enough to be engraved in my mind.”
“Oh my, I’m so happy you like it that much. I actually helped out a little too.”
“……I, I see.”
“Instead of just saying that, let me explain the pieces to you.”
T h is was c o pie d f r o m k in gm t l . o rg
“There’s no need for that……”
T h is w a s c o pi e d f r om ki n gm t l. or g
“No, I’ll do it!”
“……Alright.”
T h is was c o p ie d f r o m k i n g m tl . o r g
At Sayori’s insistence, Jung Minwoo had no choice but to accept and listen to her explanation.
‘The explanation won’t be that long, right?’
He thought that even if the explanation was long, it wouldn’t take more than 3 minutes, but.
“This pose, you see, subtly reveals the intention to climb higher and the ambition that there’s no one to block my way……”
Contrary to his expectations, he had to listen to a long explanation of about 15 minutes per piece.
“These deep eyes express the confidence that anyone will be captivated by my gaze……”
After listening to the explanations for a whopping 2 hours.
“Everyone, please be respectful. Great Demon Lord-nim and Lilith-nim are entering.”
The demon guarding the door announced that the owner of the Great Demon Lord’s Castle and his wife were entering the banquet hall.
“……Oh my, I’ll explain the rest to you later.”
“That’s a shame……”
Jung Minwoo was relieved by Satan’s appearance and pretended to be disappointed on the outside.
Whoosh—
The door opened, and Satan and Lilith walked into the banquet hall.
“””We greet Great Demon Lord-nim and Lilith-nim.”””
Thud—
Jung Minwoo and the Jungsin Cult members knelt on one knee and bowed their heads.
“You don’t have to be so formal when it’s just us. Everyone, get up.”
“Please make yourselves comfortable.”
At the words of Satan and Lilith, Jung Minwoo and the Jungsin Cult members nodded and got up.
“……Thank you for throwing such a grand party.”
T his wa s c o p i ed f rom k i ngm t l.o rg
Then Jung Minwoo bowed his head and expressed his gratitude for the party.
‘The fact that he prepared it is enough to be thankful for.’
It wasn’t common for the ‘Great Demon Lord’, who was second only to ‘Masin’, to throw a party for just one person, so he couldn’t help but be grateful beyond satisfaction.
“Thank me for what, I promised to throw it for you.”
Satan shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing, and then.
“By the way……”
He looked at Jung Minwoo with a sly look in his eyes.
“It seems you’ve gotten quite close to my daughter? You two are stuck together. Are you going to start dating soon?”
T h i s w as c o p ie d f r o m kin gm t l . o r g
He started to push Jung Minwoo and Sayori together.
‘……This guy is good in every way, but this is the problem.’
He had mentioned marriage on his birthday, and now it seemed like he had changed his strategy to dating.
“You’re over 200 years old, isn’t it time you started dating?”
“What, Dad~”
Sayori didn’t seem to mind her father pushing them together and acted coy.
Slide—
She moved closer to Jung Minwoo and naturally linked her arm with his.
‘How come she seems even more forward than before……?’
Jung Minwoo felt puzzled by Sayori’s forwardness.
‘There hasn’t been any opportunity to get closer, has there?’
He would have understood if there was a reason, but they hadn’t met even once since the congratulatory party.
‘Shall I check what she’s thinking?’
He decided to read her thoughts and focused his mind.
【Now that you’ve become a Demon Lord, I’ll start seducing you for real】
Letters formed above her head, and Sayori’s thoughts were turned into text.
‘She’ll start seducing me now that I’ve become a Demon Lord……?’
He wondered what nonsense that was, and then.
‘……Ah.’
He suddenly remembered what he had talked about with Sayori in the past.
― Not only do I not have any romantic feelings for Sayori-nim, but I have no intention of dating until I become a Demon Lord.
Those were the words he had said to Sayori on the day he threw a party to celebrate his victory in the bet with Baal.
‘She thought it was okay to seduce me now that I’ve become a Demon Lord……’
He hadn’t thought that she would take his roundabout refusal literally.
‘……Sigh, in the end, it’s just an excuse.’
In any case, the fact that he had given her an excuse didn’t change.
‘……Ah, this is a headache.’
Jung Minwoo got a headache, wondering how he should resolve this.
