The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 241
Chapter 241: Business (3)
After receiving a large sum of DP from Ballack and setting the training schedule, Jung Minwoo posted a notice on the Demon Lord’s Castle corridor, announcing the recruitment of training instructors.
“Recruiting training instructors……?”
“One from each rank, from 1st to 9th?”
“What the, why are they giving so much DP?”
“Only demons who have received training can apply?”
Demons passing through the corridor began to show interest as they discovered the notice.
“Training…… It was truly awful.”
“But, wouldn’t being an instructor be manageable?”
“That’s, that’s true.”
“With this much DP, it’s like earning dozens of times more than working for 10 days in the Demon World’s time frame, right?”
And the demons began to whisper amongst themselves.
“……Should I apply?”
Th i s w a s co p ied f ro m k in g m t l .org
“Want to apply together?”
“There’s nothing to lose even if we don’t get it, so we have to apply no matter what.”
“I’ve been short on DP lately, I should earn some with this!”
Their thoughts converged on applying to be training instructors.
“When do we have to submit the application forms?”
“It says below, applications are due by lunch today, and interviews are in the evening?”
“We have to go apply now.”
T h i s w as c o pi ed f r o m ki n g m t l . o r g
The demons, worried they might miss the deadline to apply for the training instructor position, scattered to fill out their applications.
“Hmm? Ribbit, ribbit.”
Meanwhile, Rok, who had noticed the demons scattering after seeing the notice.
“Did a new announcement go up? Ribbit, ribbit.”
Feeling curious, he moved his steps towards the notice board.
“Ooh…… Training instructors? Ribbit, ribbit.”
And he showed interest after seeing the notice posted on the board.
“Come to think of it, it was quite fun back then, right? Ribbit, ribbit.”
At that time, since he had been rolled around under Jung Minwoo’s command, he hadn’t actually done anything besides watch, but it had been quite entertaining just to see.
“They’re picking one 1st Rank demon…… Ribbit, ribbit.”
However, if he applied this time, it seemed like he’d be able to directly roll around since it would be under the command of a 1st Rank demon.
“The DP is small, but it’s not like they’re not giving any at all. Ribbit, ribbit.”
It was a smaller amount than the DP he earned, but it didn’t seem bad when he thought about it as getting free DP for going to have fun.
“Alright, I should apply too! Ribbit, ribbit.”
Rok, solidifying his decision to apply, headed straight for the Demon Lord’s office.
Thud, thud, thud―
T h i s was c o p ie d f ro m kin g mt l.o r g
As he reached near the Demon Lord’s office.
“Rok-nim, what business brings you here?”
The Head Butler, who had been waiting by the door, greeted him and asked about the purpose of his visit.
“Just, came to see Minwoo! Ribbit, ribbit.”
“I see.”
After answering his question, the Head Butler nodded and.
“Please wait a moment.”
Knocked on the door and entered the office.
Creak―
A moment later, the Head Butler opened the door and came out, telling him it was okay to go in.
“Alright, ribbit, ribbit.”
Rok opened the door and entered the office, then.
“Minwoo, I’m here! Ribbit, ribbit.”
Greeted Jung Minwoo with a wave of his hand.
“Rok, what’s up?”
Jung Minwoo, who had been sitting in a chair, got up and asked him why he had come.
“I, want to apply to be a training instructor! Ribbit, ribbit.”
Immediately revealing his business upon Jung Minwoo’s question.
“Isn’t it a really busy time right now? Will you be okay?”
He worried if it would be alright for Rok to be a training instructor when it was a very busy time.
“Hehe, it’s fine. I’ve used ‘Brain Mode’ to give my subordinates half a year’s worth of orders. Ribbit, ribbit.”
Replying that there was no problem.
“Really? Then I’d be happy to have you.”
Jung Minwoo’s expression brightened.
‘Is he that happy that I’m going to be a training instructor? Ribbit, ribbit.’
Seeing him happy made Rok’s shoulders shrug involuntarily.
“Do you want to conduct the interviews this time too?”
“Interviews? Ribbit, ribbit.”
“Yeah, since you have to lead the instructors, it’s better to pick demons you like, right?”
“Is that so? Ribbit, ribbit.”
“Right, they’re demons who will be your hands and feet for 200 days, it’d be troublesome if you didn’t like them, wouldn’t it?”
At Jung Minwoo’s logical words, Rok was nodding his head, having been persuaded before he knew it.
“Alright, I’ll do the interviews! Ribbit, ribbit.”
Since interviewing also seemed fun, Rok accepted Jung Minwoo’s suggestion.
“Okay, I’ll bring you the demons’ applications separately after lunch.”
“Got it! Ribbit, ribbit.”
“The interviews will start at night, so please look over the applications at least once.”
“Leave it to me. Ribbit, ribbit!”
“Once you’ve made your selections, write them down on a document and bring it to me.”
“Of course! Ribbit, ribbit.”
“Don’t deviate too much from the framework for the training, try designing the training in your own way.”
“Uh, uh? Y-yeah! Ribbit, ribbit.”
“And also……”
Rok felt a sense of foreboding as the tasks seemed to be increasing, but.
‘I can just do it! Ribbit, ribbit.’
Since he had already spoken the words of agreement, he felt a sense of responsibility and decided to see it through.
“Rok, thank you so much. I had a lot of backlog, but thanks to you, I can breathe a little easier.”
“Hehe, I’m glad to hear that! It’s nothing.”
He felt joy at the fact that he was helping Jung Minwoo, when.
“Still, I feel bad for giving you so much work, so I’ll give you 80% of the DP Ballack gave me this time.”
He said he would give him a large sum of DP.
He didn’t know how much 80% was, but it would be dozens of times more than the amount he had initially been promised.
“I’d like to give you 90%, but I have to take care of the other demons and I need to get something out of this too, so please understand.”
Thinking he might feel shortchanged, Jung Minwoo apologized for not being able to give him more.
‘This…… I need to take this more seriously than I thought, huh? Ribbit, ribbit.’
Rok thought to himself that he should use ‘Brain Mode’ to plan out a thorough training regimen, then.
“Leave it to me! Ribbit, ribbit.”
Patted his chest and boasted that he would create the best training program.
“This is not the time, Minwoo, I’ll be off to plan the training! Ribbit, ribbit.”
T h is wa s co pied fr o m k i n gm t l . o r g
“Okay, go ahead.”
And Rok, to earn his DP, headed straight for the Executive Office.
‘Thanks to Rok, I have a little more time now.’
Jung Minwoo had gained a bit of free time as Rok took charge of the ranger training.
He thought about resting during this free time, but.
‘No, resting is a luxury.’
It was a time when he was expanding his business, so he couldn’t waste this golden time on rest.
T h i s was c o p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l . org
‘The management of the conquered planets has been entrusted to the Corruption Department, so there’s nothing to worry about there…… Should I bring forward some of the remaining projects?’
Currently, the remaining projects were the ‘Arena’, ‘Tourist Attraction’, and ‘Luxury Goods Production’.
‘I delegated the Arena and Tourist Attraction to the Head Butler, but it’s only been a day, so there wouldn’t be any progress, nothing for me to do there, so the only thing left is Luxury Goods Production?’
He already had a plan for luxury goods, so he could execute it as soon as he finished some preparations.
The method Jung Minwoo had planned was.
‘To make imitations of famous clothing and accessory brands from Earth.’
It was to make and sell exact replicas of clothing and accessories from famous brands that had been popular on Earth.
If he had done this on Earth, it would have been a problem as it would have been against the law, but this was the Demon World, so there wouldn’t be any issues even if he made and sold replicas.
Th i s wa s co p i e d f r o m k i ng m t l. o rg
‘We can make and sell two types: expensive clothing and accessories, and cheap clothing and accessories.’
For expensive clothing and accessories, he could hire demons who specialized in production.
And for cheap clothing and accessories, he could entrust it to the demons in the city.
‘This way, the demons in the city will have more work and be able to earn more DP.’
Also, since he planned to entrust the sales to the city demons, they would have more options to earn DP than before.
‘With this, I think it’s safe to say I’ve kept my promise from before.’
In the past, when he had just taken office as the Demon Lord, he had promised the residents that they would enjoy ‘unprecedented prosperity’.
And if the ‘Luxury Goods Production’ project began, they would truly experience unprecedented prosperity.
‘Then, should I put it into action right away?’
Jung Minwoo called the Head Butler who was waiting outside and asked him to find demons who specialized in production.
Contrary to his expectation that the Head Butler would agree and immediately go to find them.
“I apologize, but due to looking into land for the Arena and planning the Tourist Attraction, my time is a bit tight.”
He was too busy to carry out the order.
“Are you that busy?”
“Yes…… I don’t think I can handle any more work.”
Listening to him, he said that even when he was waiting by the door, he was in the middle of planning the Tourist Attraction, and if he received a call from the servants, he had to go see the land, so it was difficult to take on additional work.
“I apologize.”
The Head Butler bowed his head, apologizing for his lack of ability.
“No, it’s not your fault. Thinking about it, I think I delegated quite a lot of work to you.”
Jung Minwoo waved his hand, telling him it wasn’t his fault and not to feel guilty.
On the contrary, he felt sorry for burdening him.
“I’ll take care of this part, you can go.”
“I apologize.”
“There’s no need for you to apologize.”
After sending the Head Butler out.
‘What should I do……’
Th is w a s c op i ed f r om k in g m tl . o r g
Jung Minwoo fell into thought about how to solve this problem.
One might say he could just do it himself, but.
‘There’s too much work to handle for me to move around.’
Dozens of approval requests and reports coming in every day.
Dozens of letters from the Demon Lords that had arrived in just one day.
‘If I leave my position, there will be a downtime in business, causing disruptions……’
Due to these issues, Jung Minwoo couldn’t move around either.
As he was pondering a solution.
‘……Right, there was that guy?’
A demon who could handle the work perfectly in his stead came to mind.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d fro m k i n g m t l . o r g
‘It’s about time I brought him in.’
That guy was.
An early member of the Demon Communion and the demon who had been demoted to a slave through a contract after trying to pull a trick with poison, Owl.
And recently, he was the guy who had gained the name ‘Aold’.
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k i n g m t l . o rg
‘He said he joined the 33rd ranked Demon Lord’s forces, right?’
When they had met before, he had expressed dissatisfaction with life at the Demon Lord’s Castle, so it should be easy to bring him in.
‘If he doesn’t want to come, I can just bring him by force.’
Owl, no, Aold was bound by a contract, so he would have no choice but to accept the offer.
Th i s w as c o p i ed f r o m k i n g m tl. o rg
‘The relationship with the 33rd ranked Demon Lord might be strained, but if I say I’ll give him free ranger training, it should help prevent the relationship from completely falling apart.’
To be honest, it didn’t really matter if the relationship was strained, but.
‘There’s no need to make an enemy on purpose.’
Since he was already at odds with the Demon Lords ranked 1st to 30th, he didn’t want to increase his enemies by straining his relationship with the 33rd ranked Demon Lord as well.
‘Then, I have no choice but to write a letter.’
Jung Minwoo decided to take the time to write a letter to the 33rd ranked Demon Lord.
“To the esteemed 33rd ranked Demon Lord Gaff-nim, you have achieved many great feats and are an inspiration to all demons……”
Once again, he finished writing the letter, embellishing it with flowery language.
‘Phew, should I send it right away?’
He sent the letter to the 33rd ranked Demon Lord Gaff.
