The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Ball (2)

As I stepped into the ballroom.

Twinkle, twinkle―

A beautiful chandelier studded with jewels caught my eye.

‘It must be quite expensive.’

Even Jung Minwoo, who was a layman when it came to jewels, could tell that it looked luxurious, so he guessed that the price would be considerable.

Jung Minwoo took his eyes off the ceiling and looked around.

‘It’s quite impressive, just like I saw in the movies.’

He could see that it was luxuriously decorated.

In the center, a stage was set up separately as a space for dancing.

‘The quality of the food is different.’

Delicious food was set on the tables.

‘The quality of the food is different.’

Delicious food was set on the tables.

‘Are the others not here yet?’

I looked around to find the Jungsin Cult members, but.

‘There are only men.’

Only men were seated in the ballroom.

T h is w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i ng m t l. o r g
‘Does it take a long time to get ready?’

It took this long just to put on a tuxedo and get light makeup, so it was only natural that it would take longer for women who had a lot to prepare for.

‘Shall we have a drink while we wait for the kids?’

Jung Minwoo pointed to where the drinks were displayed and said to Rok.

“Shall we have a drink and quench our thirst while we wait for the kids?”

“Sounds good, ribbit, ribbit.”

As I walked with Rok to where the drinks were displayed.

Sniff―

“Hmm?”

A faint grape scent tickled my nose.

‘Wine?’

Jung Minwoo followed the scent and turned his head to see a purple drink in a glass.

‘…It’s real wine?’

Jung Minwoo, who didn’t know there would be wine in the Demon World, felt a sense of familiarity.

‘Yeah, wine is a must for a ball.’

Actually, he was more happy to be able to drink alcohol than wine.

‘Sometimes, when I was tired from studying and training, I desperately wanted to drink.’

As befitting an immortal, demons didn’t have the concept of being underage, but alcohol was not allowed in the training center because it interfered with academics.

‘To think I can drink it here!’

Jung Minwoo gently lifted the wine glass with trembling hands.

And as he took a sip of wine and rolled his tongue.

“?!”

He felt a heavenly taste as if his tongue was dancing.

‘I feel like I’ve wasted half my life…’

If someone had heard this, they would have scoffed, but Jung Minwoo was quite serious.

‘…There was no such wine on Earth.’

Jung Minwoo thought that the Demon World might be a surprisingly good place to live.

“Minwoo, why the expression? Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok, wondering about Jung Minwoo’s reaction, tilted his head and spoke.

“Ah, the wine is so delicious.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Rok also seemed curious and lifted his wine glass, pouring it into his mouth.

“Kyaa, this is delicious! Ribbit, ribbit.”

And Rok, with surprised eyes, kept exclaiming in admiration.

Gulp, gulp, gulp―

Just as the two of them were pouring wine down their throats without thinking about their dignity.

Creak―

The closed ballroom door opened, and female demons walked in.

Click, click, click.

Jung Minwoo stopped drinking his wine and turned his gaze toward the door.

‘…Crazy.’

He could see Venus walking in the lead.

Pink hair and heart-shaped eyes.

If it weren’t for the horns on her forehead, she would have been mistaken for an angel, with her pure white beauty.

‘Clothes make the man…’

But seeing the dress she was wearing, Jung Minwoo seriously wondered if she was a fallen angel.
Thi s w a s c o pied f r o m k in g m tl.o r g

Some might say what a rude thing to say about a demon, but.

‘…She’s beautiful.’

He was sure that if they saw her in person, dressed in a white dress, starting with the white ribbon on her head, they would say the same thing.

Also, she was wearing a dress with exposed shoulders and collarbone, creating a strange coexistence of innocence and sexiness.

‘…Am I drunk?’

Was it because he had drunk too much wine? He felt a tingling sensation in his chest for some reason.

Venus, who entered the ballroom, looked around.

“Ah!”

Click, click, click.

She approached me as soon as she found me.

“D-do I look good?”

And, as if embarrassed, she tucked her hair behind her ear and cautiously asked for an evaluation of her clothes.

Jung Minwoo answered with a slightly stiff expression.

“Yes.”

A short and concise answer.

At first glance, it might seem like a perfunctory answer, but.

“Ah…”

The emotion in his voice was deep, giving it a serious feeling.

“T-thank you.”

Venus also seemed to feel the emotion in his voice, as her face flushed red.

“Y-you look very good too, Minwoo-nim.”

“Thank you.”

“Yes…”

“…”

“…”

After the compliments were exchanged, an awkward silence began to flow.

Just as Jung Minwoo was about to say something to break the awkward atmosphere.

“How do I look?”

Anubis, who was standing behind me, suddenly cut in and showed off her outfit.

A red dress that contrasted with her gray hair.

“It looks good on you.”

She looked healthy, perhaps because she was wearing a short skirt that came up to her knees.
T h i s w as c o p i ed f r o m k in g m t l . o rg

“Tell me more specifically.”

At Anubis’s words, Jung Minwoo told her honestly how he felt.

T h is w a s c o p i e d f r o m ki n g m t l . org
“Hmm, I like it.”

She nodded her head with a satisfied smile.

‘But why is Rok so quiet?’

I thought he would make a fuss and talk to her when Anubis appeared, but strangely enough, I didn’t hear anything from behind.

‘Is he nervous?’

Jung Minwoo, puzzled, turned his head back.

“…”

Rok was lying face down on the floor, fast asleep.

‘…He’s drunk.’

I was a little worried when he kept drinking because it was delicious, but I didn’t know he was this weak to alcohol.

As I was shaking my head at Rok.

“…How do I look?”

Elin tugged at Jung Minwoo’s sleeve and showed off her clothes.

A blue dress that matched her blue hair.

Unlike Rok, who felt like camouflage, Elin gave off a refreshing feeling because she added various points to her clothes.

“It’s refreshing and suits you well.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Elin smiled bashfully, as if she was in a good mood.

“Now that everyone’s here, how about we eat?”

“Let’s do that.”

Afterward, Jung Minwoo and the Jungsin Cult members filled their plates with food and sat down at the table.

Of course, Rok, who was unconscious, was left abandoned in the corner of the table.

“Wow, the food is amazing.”

Anubis took a bite of the meat and opened her eyes wide.

“…Delicious.”

“It’s really delicious.”

Elin and Venus also seemed to enjoy the food, exclaiming in admiration, and their hand movements became faster and faster.

Afterward, they brought more food several times, and as the fierce meal was coming to an end.

“Minwoo-nim, may I ask you a question?”

Venus spoke cautiously, with a serious expression.

“What is it?”

“May I ask what your plans are after graduation?”

Future plans.

Jung Minwoo stroked his chin and fell into thought for a moment.

‘First, after graduation, I have to find Earth.’

He was curious how much time had passed since his previous life.

‘If not much time has passed… I wonder how my parents and sister are doing.’

Jung Minwoo had been wondering how his family was doing, even though he hadn’t shown it.

‘…I hope they’re doing well.’

However, Jung Minwoo didn’t get caught up in these emotions because he knew how to clearly distinguish between public and private matters.

‘It’s time to focus on my duty.’

Since he was reincarnated as a demon, he intended to climb to the top.

‘For now, I’ll set my goal as becoming the Demon Lord.’

After finishing his thoughts, Jung Minwoo looked at Venus and said.

“Becoming the Demon Lord is my first goal.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Venus tilted her head and said.

“You said it’s your first goal, does that mean there’s another goal?”

“Yes, I always crave the top spot.”

Venus, understanding the implication, sparkled her eyes.

“As expected, you’re a man of great ambition.”

“Of course.”

Jung Minwoo smiled and continued.

“And it’s also my goal to put you guys on the Demon Lord’s throne.”

“U-us too?”

“Didn’t I tell you? You won’t regret coming under me.”

“Minwoo-nim…”

As Venus made a touched expression.

“Ahem.”

Jung Minwoo, feeling awkward for no reason, coughed and looked away.

Just as the awkward air was about to return.

Doon ddan ddan Doon ddan ddan Doon ddan ddan~

Music began to play in the ballroom.

‘When it’s awkward, there’s nothing like dancing.’

Jung Minwoo got up from his seat and held out his hand to Venus.

“Want to go out for a dance?”

“…Yes?”

“Let’s go out for a dance.”

“B-but I don’t know how to dance.”

“It’s okay, I’ll lead. You just have to leave your body to me.”

“M-my body?”

“Yeah, it’s not that hard, is it?”

“O-okay. But no complaining if I’m not good at it, okay?”

“Of course.”

Venus blushed and then carefully took Jung Minwoo’s outstretched hand and stood up.

Thump, thump, thump.

Click, click, click.

As we moved to the edge of the stage.

“It’s number 1 and number 999, right?”

“Are they going to dance?”

“They haven’t learned how to dance, have they?”
T hi s w a s c o p i e d f ro m ki n gm t l . o r g

“Does it matter if only one of them knows how to dance?”

The demons who were eating started whispering as they looked at Jung Minwoo and Venus.

“Shall we begin?”

“Y-yes…”

Jung Minwoo, feeling playful at Venus’s flustered reaction, wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Hic?”

Venus hiccuped, her eyes wide with surprise at the sudden skinship.

“You wrap your arms around the waist like this when you dance.”

“I-I see!”

Jung Minwoo then took one of Venus’s hands and said.

“Just follow my steps.”

As he moved his feet to the music.

“Oh, oh?”

Venus was flustered and busy trying to follow his steps.

“Don’t think too hard about it. Relax your mind.”

Thanks to Jung Minwoo’s advice, Venus quickly calmed down and started to match his steps.

Venus, now accustomed to the dance, looked up with an excited expression.

“Dancing is more fun than I thought… Ah!”

And her face flushed red in real time when she saw that his face was quite close.

“Y-your breath is too strong.”

Also, being so close, they could feel each other’s breath intensely.

“What can I do, we’re this close?”

“T-that’s true.”

Just as Venus’s face turned the same color as her hair.

“W-why are you so good at this?”

She tried to change the subject.

‘She’s cute.’

Watching her, he found Venus quite cute.

‘Have I developed feelings for her after spending time together?’

He wasn’t insensitive, so he could finally be sure that he had feelings for Venus.

‘Venus seems to feel the same way about me.’

Also, judging from Venus’s actions, he could tell that she had feelings for him.

‘…In my previous life, I was so busy studying that I couldn’t date.’

But this time, unlike his previous life, he had a little more leeway, so he thought it wouldn’t be bad to try dating.

As he was lost in thought while looking at her.

“M-Minwoo-nim?”
T h i s w a s co p i e d f rom k i n g m tl . org

Venus called out to him, bringing him back to reality.

“You asked why I’m so good at this, right?”

“Yes? Yes…”

“We practiced dancing during the Competition.”

“…Haha, that’s right.”

Venus smiled sheepishly, as if she had forgotten.

As they were talking and enjoying the dance.

Ppa ba ba ba bam―!

The music ended before they knew it.

“I-it’s already over.”

Venus pouted her lips as if she was sorry that the music was over.

“We can dance again when the music comes on later. Shall we go back to our seats now?”

Afterward, Jung Minwoo and Venus came down from the stage and returned to the table where the Jungsin Cult members were.
