The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Wedding (3)

Wedding day.

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop.

Numerous carriages were headed towards the Three Battle Arena.

Screech—

Arriving at the Three Battle Arena. Parking their carriages nearby.

Burst—

Demon Lords disembarked from their carriages and started walking towards the entrance.

“Did you receive an invitation?”

T h i s w a s c o p i e d fro m kin g m tl . o rg
“I did.”

Demon Lords who were acquainted with each other gathered and conversed about the day’s events.

“It’s amazing that he thought of holding a wedding ceremony at the Three Battle Arena, isn’t it?”

“It is amazing. When I first received the invitation, I checked the location several times to make sure it was correct.”

“I’d like to have my wedding at the Three Battle Arena too if I ever get married.”

At the unmarried Demon Lord’s words.

“It’ll be tough.”

A Demon Lord who was already married shook his head and replied that it would realistically be difficult.

“Huh? Why?”

The unmarried Demon Lord, slightly offended, asked for the reason.
T h i s w a s co p i ed f r o m k i ng m tl . o r g

“There’s no reason to hold a Challenge for the Throne. And even if you win, you need a partner to marry.”

“Can’t you just hold the Challenge for the Throne when you find a partner to marry?”

“Even if you do, do you think your partner will patiently wait without having a wedding ceremony?”

“……”

Watching Jung Minwoo climb the ranks might make it seem easy, but.

“Realistically speaking, it’ll take a few hundred to a few thousand years. It’s hard for a partner to wait patiently without a wedding ceremony.”

Since it takes a long time to prepare for each Challenge for the Throne, it could be considered impossible unless the timing is perfect.

“……That’s true.”

“To be blunt, do you even have a Demon Lord you can challenge and win against right now?”

“……No.”

The unmarried Demon Lord was Seir, ranked 71st.

He was originally ranked 70th, but was forcefully demoted due to Forneus falling from 30th to 31st.

“So, stop dreaming.”

T h i s w a s c o p ie d f r om k i n g m t l. or g
At the married Demon Lord’s advice, Seir scratched his head and nodded.

“Tsk…… I know it’s highly unlikely, but I can’t help but feel envious.”

“I’m envious too. A wedding ceremony after the winner announcement, how romantic is that?”

A wedding ceremony at the Three Battle Arena.

It had always been a romantic dream for Demon Lords.

“I thought he was extraordinary from the moment he became a Demon Lord in such a short period of time, but I never expected him to reach 30th rank in just half a year.”

“Right, he’s now ranked higher than us.”

“His abilities are impressive, but what’s most enviable is the fact that he married her.”

T h i s w a s co p i e d f ro m k in g m t l . o rg
“That’s right, she was known as the most popular girl among demons, and now she’s married.”

As evident from their conversation, the demon referred to as her was Sayori.

Jung Minwoo might not know, but Sayori had been very popular in the past, receiving many proposals from demons.

She was even called the ‘Demon World’s Unrequited Love Girl,’ so her popularity speaks for itself.

“It’s going to be a very happy marriage.”

“You can say that again.”

While they were envious of the fact that he was marrying Sayori.

“Oh? They’re here already.”

“We arrived at the entrance while chatting.”

They had arrived at the entrance of the Three Battle Arena before they knew it.

“Let’s go inside.”

“Okay.”

As they stepped inside the entrance of the Three Battle Arena.

“”Huh? The Demon Lord……?””

They spotted Satan and his wife, Lilith, inside the entrance.

“Oh, you’re here?”

“Welcome.”

Seeing them, Satan and Lilith waved their hands.

T h i s w a s c op i ed f r o m k i n g m t l. o rg
“”We greet the Demon Lord and Lilith-nim!””

They hurriedly knelt on one knee and bowed.

“Oh my, there’s no need to be so formal. Get up.”

Satan waved his hands dismissively and ordered them to rise.

“”Ah, alright.””

They got up and headed towards Satan and Lilith.

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

Satan made a circle with his thumb and index finger, asking if they had prepared congratulatory money.

“Yes, we did.”

“We prepared it.”

Since it was the Demon Lord’s daughter’s wedding, they had prepared generous congratulatory money.

“Here it is.”

“Congratulations on your daughter’s wedding.”

They took out envelopes from their subspace and handed them to Satan.

“Oh my, you didn’t have to prepare congratulatory money~ But I can’t refuse your kind gesture~”

The demon who had just pressured them about bringing congratulatory money seemed to have disappeared, as Satan said they didn’t have to bring any.

“”……””

The two Demon Lords had the words ‘You were the one who pressured us’ stuck in their throats, but.

“Haha, how could we not prepare it?”

“It’s the Demon Lord’s daughter’s wedding, we had to prepare something.”

Not confident enough to face the consequences, they swallowed their words and flattered him instead.

“We’ll head inside now.”

“Okay, go on in~”

The two Demon Lords bid farewell to Satan and Lilith and were about to enter the Three Battle Arena when.

“……I’m here.”

They stopped in their tracks at a familiar Demon Lord’s voice coming from behind.

“”Hmm?””

The voice was familiar, but the energy felt different.

Before, he had been a ferocious powerhouse, but now he felt as weak as a lamb.

Swiish—

Feeling curious, they turned their heads.

“Forneus…… -nim?”

“Forneus-nim……?”

It was indeed the Demon Lord they knew, Forneus.

‘I heard through rumors that he lost to Jung Minwoo, but to think he’d become this weak?’

‘What on earth happened during the Challenge for the Throne?’

They were shocked at the sight of the weakened Forneus, but at the same time.

‘If he’s this weak, I could easily win against him, right?’
T h i s w a s co pied f r o m k i n gm tl . or g

‘I feel like I could subdue him with one hand.’

The two Demon Lords drooled at the sight of the weakened Forneus.

‘I want to challenge him for his throne right now, but I might get on the bad side of the Demon Lord and Jung Minwoo, so it’s better to wait until after the wedding ceremony.’

‘Once the wedding is over, I’ll immediately challenge you for your throne and steal your rank!’

Looking forward to the end of the wedding ceremony, the two Demon Lords entered the Three Battle Arena.

‘……Damn it, I’ve already become prey. Is this it?’

Forneus, who had been watching the two Demon Lords, could sense that he had become a target.

‘Tsk, it’s only two now, but once I enter the Three Battle Arena, I’ll be targeted by other Demon Lords too…… My future looks bleak.’

He wondered if he should go to Jung Minwoo and beg for mercy.

“Did you bring the congratulatory money?”

Satan spoke to him.

“……Yes, I prepared it.”

“You said you didn’t have any DP, how did you prepare it?”

“I sold all the decent furniture in my Demon Lord’s Castle.”

He replied that he had managed to prepare the congratulatory money with difficulty.

“See, you can prepare it if you try.”

Satan laughed heartily and patted him on the back.

“……That’s true.”

Forneus took out an envelope from his subspace with trembling hands and showed it to Satan.

“Thank you, go on in.”

“Yes, alright.”

“I need to announce the winner later, so stay in the waiting room.”

“……Alright.”

He was afraid to enter the Three Battle Arena, knowing he would be targeted by other Demon Lords, but.

“……See you later.”

There was no way to avoid the current situation, so Forneus accepted reality and walked into the Three Battle Arena with slumped shoulders.

T h i s w a s c o p ie d f ro m kin gm t l . o r g

Meanwhile, Jung Minwoo.

“It’s a bit boring being alone.”

He was sitting in the waiting room, dressed in a tuxedo.

Venus, Elin, and Sayori were busy getting dressed and doing their makeup.

The other Jungsin Cult members were preparing for the Challenge for the Throne and couldn’t come to the waiting room.

“But it’ll start soon, so I just need to wait a little longer.”

About ten minutes passed.

Knock, knock—

“Great Master-nim, it’s time.”

The Head Butler opened the waiting room door and informed him that the winner announcement was about to begin.

“Oh? Alright.”

“Please follow me.”

Jung Minwoo followed the Head Butler’s guidance to the hallway.

“The tuxedo suits you very well……”

Forneus, who was already in the hallway, bowed his head and greeted him.

‘His way of speaking has changed.’

Forneus, who had insisted on speaking informally even after the Challenge for the Throne, had become a different demon in just a week, using honorifics.

“Yes, nice to see you.”

Jung Minwoo accepted Forneus’s greeting with an indifferent expression.

“W-would you appoint me as your ‘Proxy’ if I become your subordinate now……?”

After observing Jung Minwoo’s reaction, Forneus brought up the offer he had made a week ago.

‘This is ridiculous.’

Jung Minwoo chuckled to himself at Forneus’s changed attitude.

“Do you think that’s still valid?”

He replied that the bus had already left.

“C-can’t you reconsider……?”

“No.”

When his request was rejected.

“……”

Forneus dropped his head with a look of despair.

‘You should have seized the opportunity when you had it.’

Forneus would likely regret his wrong choice for the rest of his life.

He might argue that it was alright since he would regain his strength in 100 years, but.

‘It’ll be the same then.’

Even if the restriction was lifted, he would already be a 1st Rank demon, demoted from his position as a Demon Lord.

As he was predicting Forneus’s future.

“We will now begin the winner announcement. Jung Minwoo and Forneus, come to the arena.”

Satan’s voice echoed.

‘Shall we move?’

Thud, thud, thud—

As he walked out of the dark hallway.

‘A lot of people showed up.’

He could see the stands filled with demons.

“Everyone come this way.”

“Alright.”

At Satan’s call, Jung Minwoo stepped onto the platform in front of the red throne.

“……Yes.”

Following him, Forneus also stepped onto the platform.

“……That’s Forneus?”

Th i s w a s c o pi ed f r o m k i ng m t l .o r g
“He’s become so weak?”

“His rank dropped, but how could his Demonic Energy decrease so much?”

“Didn’t you hear? He took the Awakening Agent and ended up like that.”

The demons in the stands began to murmur as they looked at Forneus.

Th i s w as co p ied fr o m k in gm t l .o r g
Since he had gone straight to the waiting room after entering the Three Battle Arena, most of the Demon Lords were seeing Forneus’s condition for the first time.

“If he’s like that, I might be able to take him on……?”

“He’s become completely useless!”

“I was humiliated by that guy before, this is my chance for revenge.”

As the Demon Lords gazed at Forneus with greedy eyes.

Th i s w as c o p i e d f rom k i n g m t l . o rg
“Quiet. I will now announce the winner.”

Satan silenced the audience and continued with the winner announcement.

“The winner is Jung Minwoo!”

Following that, Satan announced the winner.

Clap, clap, clap……

The demons in the stands rose from their seats and applauded.

“Now that the winner has been announced, Forneus, step back.”

“……Alright.”

“Stay there and don’t go anywhere else.”

“……As you command.”

After Forneus stepped back behind the throne.

“Then let’s move on to the next event.”

He announced the start of the wedding ceremony.

“Brides, enter!”

Following Satan’s cry.

Ta-da-da-ran Ta-ta-da-ranTa-da-da-dan—!!

Click, click, click—

As the music began to play, three figures emerged from the hallway.
