The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 269
Chapter 269: 100 Years (1)
After returning to the Demon Lord’s Castle.
T h i s w a s c op ie d f r om k in g m t l . o rg
‘Now that I’ve reached the top 10, how about I take some time to build up my foundation?’
Jung Minwoo decided to focus on his businesses since there was no need to climb the ranks any further for the time being.
‘The tourist attraction and the arena haven’t even started yet.’
The other businesses were already on track, so it seemed like he only needed to focus on these two.
‘And besides business, I also need to pay attention to the Academy.’
For the Academy, the plan was to recruit students right before the building’s completion.
‘It’s run by the Demon Lord, so there will be a flood of demons wanting to enroll, and for instructors, we can rotate my subordinates.’
He thought about getting instructors who would be permanently in charge, not on rotation.
‘No, if I do that, they’ll just stagnate at their current rank.’
Demons who become instructors would have no way to acquire Demonic Energy separately, so their growth would be hampered.
‘It’s not easy for them to go invade planets during their break time either.’
While education was important, individual growth was also crucial, so he decided to rotate them.

‘It seems like this is the way to go, and I need to check on the progress of the businesses and the Academy construction.’
Jung Minwoo summoned the Head Butler to check if the construction was going smoothly.
A moment later, the Head Butler entered the office.
“You summoned me, Great Master?”
He greeted Jung Minwoo and inquired about the reason for the summons.
“I called you to ask about the progress of the businesses and the Academy.”
To Jung Minwoo’s question.
“The tourist attraction and the arena are almost complete, and construction on the Academy has just begun.”
The Head Butler nodded and explained the progress.
“That’s fast, isn’t it?”
“Thanks to your generous support, Great Master, the progress has been swift.”
At this rate, it seemed like he could get the two businesses on track within three years.
“When will the Academy be finished?”
“Due to its large scale, we’re estimating about five years.”
Five years meant there were two years left after getting the businesses on track.
‘During those two years, I can train the instructors who will be on rotation.’
After finishing his thoughts, Jung Minwoo said.
“Alright, let me know as soon as the tourist attraction and the arena are complete.”
“Yes, sir.”
“You can go back to work now.”
“Yes, sir.”
After sending the Head Butler back, Jung Minwoo took out a parchment from his desk.
‘Since the tourist attraction and the arena will be finished soon, I should write letters to the Demon Lords in advance, right?’
He decided to write the letters in advance so he could send them immediately upon completion.
A month later.
“Great Master, the tourist attraction and the arena are both complete.”
The Head Butler informed him of the completion.
Jung Minwoo pondered where to visit first and decided to check out the tourist attraction.
‘While I’m at it, it would be nice to take the kids too, right?’
It seemed perfect to check for any shortcomings while enjoying the tourist attraction with his children.
T h is w as c o p i e d f r om ki ng mtl .o r g
Using ‘Mind’s Eye,’ Jung Minwoo sent a telepathic message to the Demon Communion members, asking only those demons who were free to visit his office for a trip.
And a short while later.
“……Minwoo, I’m here.”
Elin, his second wife, entered the office.
‘The others must be busy.’
Seeing that no one else had come, it seemed like they had other tasks to attend to.
‘I ended up going to the tourist attraction alone with Elin.’
It wasn’t bad that he ended up on a date with just Elin.
‘Is this our first date?’
Going to see the tourist attraction together didn’t seem like a bad idea.
No, it was actually quite nice that it was their first date.
“Shall we go?”
He offered his hand, suggesting they move.
“……Yes!”
Elin blushed and carefully took his hand.
“Please follow me.”
Jung Minwoo and Elin then headed to the tourist attraction, guided by the Head Butler.
After passing through the Portal Station to the planet that would be used as a tourist attraction.
‘They did a good job.’
Starting with the paved roads for easy movement.
There was a museum, zoo, aquarium, food court, souvenir shop, experience center, and so on.
T h is w a s c o p i ed f r o m k in g m t l . o r g
He could see that many things had been prepared.
‘The Head Butler is truly excellent at his job.’
Jung Minwoo was confident that his judgment in hiring the Head Butler was not mistaken, as he had exceeded expectations.
T h i s wa s cop i ed f r o m k i n g m t l .o r g
“I will guide you from here.”
The Head Butler offered to be their guide.
“It’s alright, I know where everything is, so we’ll move around on our own.”
Since he was the one who designed the tourist attraction, Jung Minwoo declined the offer, feeling that there wouldn’t be any problems even without a guide.
“Then I will wait here. Please call me if you need anything.”
“I will.”
Jung Minwoo wondered where to go first.
‘The museum is closest, so we can go there first.’
Considering the flow of movement, the museum seemed like a good starting point.
“Elin, want to see the museum first?”
He asked Elin if it was okay, as her opinion mattered too.
“……I like going anywhere with Minwoo.”
She replied in a shy voice that it was fine.
“Then let’s go.”
As he entered the museum with Elin.
‘The interior is well-decorated too.’
The antique interior design caught his eye.
‘They captured the museum atmosphere well.’
Jung Minwoo began exploring the museum, holding Elin’s hand.
The birth of the Demon God, the reason for the 72 Demon Lords’ existence, the war with the pigeons, and so on.
He wanted people to be able to see and experience history, not just read about it, so he had models installed. They were quite realistically implemented, making it quite entertaining to look at.
‘There are proper descriptions too, so there’s no chance of getting confused about the history.’
Jung Minwoo looked around with the eye of a businessman, checking for any shortcomings.
‘It’s perfect.’
Perhaps because the Head Butler was in charge, there were no areas that felt lacking or disappointing.
‘The third Proxy appointment should go to the Head Butler.’
T h i s w a s cop i e d fr o m k i ngmtl. o r g
He wanted to appoint him as a Proxy right away.
‘It’s a shame he’s not 1st Rank yet.’
Proxy appointments were only possible for demons of 1st Rank, so unfortunately, he couldn’t appoint him yet.
‘I can appoint the Head Butler as a Proxy after he reaches 1st Rank, so there’s no rush.’
He was confident that the Head Butler would reach 1st Rank without much difficulty, so he could appoint him then.
‘If he can’t reach it, I can help him.’
Even if, by any chance, he couldn’t reach it, Jung Minwoo could help him from behind, making it inevitable for him to ascend.
T h is w a s co pi e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
‘Somehow, my thoughts have strayed.’
Jung Minwoo cut off his thoughts.
Step, step, step―
As he walked through the museum, carefully examining the exhibits.
Halt―
His arm, which was holding Elin’s hand, stopped, bringing him to a halt.
‘Hm?’
Jung Minwoo felt puzzled and turned his gaze towards Elin.
“……Wow.”
He could see her staring at the exhibit with eyes full of wonder.
‘What is she looking at?’
Jung Minwoo followed Elin’s gaze and turned his head.
A model resembling Elin was displayed, showcasing her sweeping through demons using her unique trait.
‘So it’s because of this.’
Jung Minwoo chuckled and asked.
“Well made, right?”
He asked Elin for her thoughts.
“……Yes, it’s exactly like me. And it’s cool.”
“I asked the Head Butler to put extra effort into things related to us.”
“……I see.”
One might wonder why there was a model based on Elin on display.
‘I thought it would be fun to record our life stories.’
To be honest, it was purely out of personal desire that he had it included.
While building the museum, he thought it would be nice to have himself and his comrades on display.
“……Elin’s performance during the 10th Rank Challenge for the Throne? This is a recent event?”
Reading the description, Elin was amazed that a recent event was recreated and displayed in the museum.
“I put some effort into it because I thought it would be good to have the Challenge for the Throne on display too.”
Of course, since he had requested it just before completion, it had cost him quite a bit of DP.
“Shall we continue looking around?”
“……Yes!”
After finishing their tour of the museum.
“……Minwoo, why did we come here?”
The place Jung Minwoo took Elin to was none other than the food court.
“Except for the museum, you can eat inside all the other attractions. I thought it would be nice to look around while eating.”
“……I see.”
This was also one of the areas he had put a lot of effort into preparing, so he was quite confident in the food.
The staff at the food court noticed him and hurriedly tried to kneel on one knee, but.
“I’m here as a customer today, so there’s no need for greetings.”
Jung Minwoo stopped them and ordered them to return to their positions.
“Everyone, relax and just do as you’ve been trained.”
He told them not to feel pressured and began looking at the food while strolling through the street.
Demon Tteokbokki, Orc Sausage, Orc Skewers, and so on.
It was composed of relatively inexpensive and delicious foods.
‘Tteokbokki doesn’t exist in the Demon World, but…… I can’t give this up.’
After the Kimchi Stew incident, he learned that demons couldn’t handle spicy food.
T hi s w as c o p i e d f ro m k i n gm tl . o rg
‘But I reduced the spiciness as much as possible, so it should sell well.’
He thought it would be absurd for a tourist attraction not to have Tteokbokki, so he included it.
“Tell me if there’s anything you want to eat.”
“……I want that.”
When he asked if she wanted anything, Elin pointed to a spot.
“Demon Cotton Candy?”
A snack, not a meal.
“……And that too.”
She then pointed to Demon Ice Cream.
“Alright.”
Since it wasn’t necessary to eat a full meal, Jung Minwoo bought Demon Cotton Candy and Demon Ice Cream and handed them to Elin.
Elin took a big bite of the Demon Cotton Candy.
Flash―
Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed.
“……Delicious.”
She covered her mouth in delight.
“I’m glad it’s good.”
Jung Minwoo laughed, finding her reaction cute.
“……Yes.”
Munch, munch―
Elin quickly finished the Demon Cotton Candy and then started on the Demon Ice Cream.
“……This is delicious too.”
The same reaction as before.
‘Judging by her reaction, it seems like it will be popular with other demons too.’
He thought that snacks might surprisingly sell well instead of meals.
‘I should tell the Head Butler to move the snack corner to the center.’
As for the food court, he could adjust its location later based on sales.
“Want to try this too?”
Seeing Elin enjoying the snacks, he offered her Demon Dalgona.
“……What is this?”
“It’s called Demon Dalgona. It’s a sweet snack like cotton candy.”
“……I’ll try it.”
Th i s was co p i e d fr o m k in g m t l.o r g
After tasting all kinds of snacks, Elin finished them all.
Perhaps Demon Cotton Candy and Demon Ice Cream were the most to her liking, as she devoured ten of each on the spot.
Then, holding Demon Cotton Candy in her left hand and Demon Ice Cream in her right, they moved on to their next destination, the zoo.
Starting with the zoo, they toured the aquarium, experience center, recreational facilities, and so on, concluding their date.
While the museum had no issues, there were a few shortcomings in other areas, which he instructed the Head Butler to fix.
Th i s w a s c o pi e d fro m ki n g m t l. o r g
The Head Butler corrected all the pointed-out areas within a few hours, and the tourist attraction opened that very day.
