The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Mansion

“Giddy up!”

Clatter, clatter, clatter.

Satan skillfully drove the monster while taking out rice balls from the subspace.

T h i s w a s co p i ed f ro m k ing m t l . o r g
“Want some?”

“No. I’ll have to decline as it hasn’t been long since lunch.”

At Jung Minwoo’s refusal, Satan clicked his tongue.

“Tsk, the romance of a coachman is eating while driving a monster, you lack romance, huh?”

“…”

Jung Minwoo swallowed his bewilderment at Satan’s words.

‘Uh, why are you forcing the romance of a coachman on me?’

Moreover, he couldn’t understand why he was talking about the romance of a coachman while holding the position of Demon Lord.

‘…Well, common sense doesn’t apply to Satan.’

Jung Minwoo realized that it would be tiring to pay attention to every single thing and decided to just let it slide.

“By the way. Didn’t you say you had something to tell me?”

“Ah, that?”

Satan said while munching on the rice ball.

“…You can tell me slowly after you finish eating.”

“No, it’s okay. I’ll talk while eating.”

“…”

And he began to explain, spraying rice grains on Jung Minwoo’s face.

“First, you know you start as a probationary when you join an organization, right?”

Th i s wa s co pi e d f ro m k i n g mtl .o r g
“Yes, I heard it at the training center.”

“And you know the condition to remove the probationary label?”

“I understand that you have to invade at least one kingdom to remove the probationary label.”

“You know well.”

Satan swallowed the rice ball and continued speaking.

“But, a troublesome thing happened here.”

“Troublesome thing?”
T his w a s c opie d fr o m k i n g m t l . o rg

“Yes, since probationaries are not officially affiliated, if they are dispatched to a planet and die fighting other demons, the Demon Lord they belong to cannot be held responsible.”

Jung Minwoo felt an ominous premonition and spoke.

“…It sounds like you’re saying that if we are dispatched, demons will come to kill us.”

“As expected, you’re quick-witted.”

“…Who is trying to kill us?”

Satan held up one finger.

T his w a s c o pi e d f r om k i ng m t l . org
“Baal, the one who holds the 1st place. He will send demons to kill you.”

He felt something was off from the moment he looked at him with those glittering eyes during the competition.

“That old man is petty.”

“Pfft! You think so too? Me too!”

Satan tried to high-five him, saying they were on the same page, but.

“What kind of demons is he sending?”

Jung Minwoo lightly ignored the high-five and asked the next question.

“He’ll probably send 3rd Rank demons. He’ll think sending 1st and 2nd Rank demons is a waste of resources.”

Satan naturally lowered his hand and answered Jung Minwoo’s question.

“…3rd Rank.”

It was fortunate that they wouldn’t be facing 1st and 2nd Rank demons, but for Jung Minwoo, even 3rd Rank was burdensome.

‘The difference in one rank is a huge difference.’

It would be difficult to handle even one, and if they were sent according to the number of people, they wouldn’t be able to avoid death.

“Since you’re telling me this, it means you have a countermeasure, right, Demon Lord-nim?”

However, the fact that Satan knew this meant that he had already come up with a solution, so he didn’t have to worry too much.

“No, I just gave you a heads-up, so be careful.”

This son of a…

Jung Minwoo calmed the emotions boiling inside him and spoke.

“In times like this, wouldn’t you send demons to protect us?”

At Jung Minwoo’s question, Satan shrugged.

“Sorry, we aim for a small elite group, so we lack manpower.”

“…”

“But, don’t worry too much.”

“How can I not worry when we have to face them without any support?”

“It’s okay, even if they are 3rd Rank, they won’t be able to exert their full power on a planet.”

Satan briefly explained the reason.

“Demons can’t exert their full power when they go to a planet. Even a Demon Lord can only dedicate a portion of their power.”

“Isn’t that the same for us?”

“But you have Demon Servants on that planet.”

At those words, Jung Minwoo nodded as if he understood.

“So, you mean we can receive demonic energy supply because we have Demon Servants, but they can’t?”

“Correct! Still, they’re not 3rd Rank for nothing. You’ll need to be fully prepared.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Jung Minwoo quickly calculated in his head.

‘…It’s doable.’

He came to the conclusion that if they prepared thoroughly, they could compete.

‘…Tsk, I thought I could have a leisurely life after graduation, but it seems like it’s gotten busier.’

As Jung Minwoo was grumbling to himself.

“Oh, we’re here.”

Satan informed him that they had arrived at the Demon Lord’s Castle.

Jung Minwoo stopped grumbling and lifted his head.

‘Wow…’

The size of the castle, beyond description, came into view.

It was so large that the horizon was invisible.

‘Have I ever seen a castle this big…?’

There was no castle this long and big anywhere on Earth.

‘…Is the length similar to the Great Wall of China?’

The length of the castle itself was similar, but including the village inside the castle walls, it seemed longer than the Great Wall of China.

‘He’s not called the Demon Lord for nothing.’

Jung Minwoo realized that the scale of the demon world was different.

“How is it? Big, right? The size of the castle is determined by the Demon Lord’s rank.”

According to Satan, he had the largest castle among the Demon Lords.

“When I took office, it was so big that I got lost. Be careful not to end up like that.”

“I understand.”

As they got closer to the castle gate.

“Salute to the Demon Lord!”

The knights guarding the gate took a saluting stance toward the carriage.

“””Salute!!!”””

Jung Minwoo could deduce from the knights’ natural behavior that Satan had been traveling around like this quite often.

‘How much did he travel like this for the knights to not stop him and take it for granted?’

Creak—

The gate opened, and as the carriage entered.

“Whoa, whoa.”

He pulled the reins, stopping the monster.

“Someone else will take you from here.”

As soon as Satan finished speaking.

“It is an honor to escort you.”

The demon in the form of an old man, whom they had seen at the main gate of the training center, appeared.

‘Did Satan imitate this old man’s appearance?’

Jung Minwoo used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ while looking at the old man.

【Retrieving information for ‘None’】

Heaven’s Eye activated, and a new information window popped up.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: None

Gender: Male

Age: 800 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Rank: 9th Rank

Alignment: Evil

Unique Trait: Butler

Current Emotion: Anticipation

‘He’s 9th Rank, so he doesn’t have a name.’ Jung Minwoo looked at the information window and stopped at ‘Unique Trait’.

‘Unique Trait is Butler…? What effect does it have?’

Jung Minwoo, curious, clicked on Unique Trait to check its effect.

【Butler】

Receives high buffs in all tasks performed within the mansion.

Also, receives overall stat buffs when serving the master.

‘…A demon optimized for being a butler, just like his Unique Trait.’

Jung Minwoo closed the information window and looked at the old man.

“What should I call you from now on?”

“You can call me Head Butler.”

“Alright.”

Jung Minwoo nodded at the Head Butler’s words.

“My task is done, so I’ll be on my way.”

Satan got off the coachman’s seat and stretched.

Thud—

Hearing that he was leaving, the Demon Communion members got off the carriage and bowed.

“Well then, I’ll be going. By the way, you can start work tomorrow.”

As Satan waved his hand.

“””Please go in, Demon Lord-nim.”””

Jung Minwoo, the Demon Communion members, and the Head Butler bowed deeply.

Snap—

And as Satan snapped his fingers. He disappeared from the spot.

“Please get on the carriage. I will guide you to the mansion where the masters will stay.”

At the Head Butler’s words, Jung Minwoo boarded the carriage with the Demon Communion members.

“Minwoo-nim, may I ask what you talked about with the Demon Lord-nim on the coachman’s seat?”

Venus, as if she had been waiting for this moment, asked what he had talked about with Satan.

“I’ll explain that after we arrive at the mansion.”

He could explain it now, but Jung Minwoo planned to explain after entering the mansion and organizing his plans to some extent.

“Judging by your expression, it seems like a pretty important conversation.”
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r om k i n g m t l .o r g

“Right.”

“Then, I’ll wait until we arrive at the mansion.”

Venus realized that the conversation wasn’t pleasant and acquiesced.

After about 3 hours.

Burst—

“Masters, you can come out now.”

T h i s w a s co pie d fr om ki n g mt l .or g
The Head Butler opened the door, informing them that they had arrived at the mansion.

Getting off the carriage and looking at the mansion.

“…It’s impressive.”

They could see a mansion as large as the main building of the training center.

“Oh… It’s huge.”

“…Luxurious.”

“This is where we’ll all live together? Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members couldn’t help but admire the mansion.

“This is where we will write our new history.”

Venus, perhaps happy to have a place to live, uttered sentimental words.

“Shall we go inside?”

“Let’s.”
T hi s wa s c o p i e d fr o m k i n gmt l . o r g

Following the Head Butler into the mansion.

T h i s w a s c o p ie d f ro m k i n gmt l . o r g
“””We greet the new masters.”””

Demons dressed as maids bowed and greeted them.

‘They don’t have ranks, so they must be commoners.’

Using Heaven’s Eye, he found that unlike the Head Butler, they didn’t have ranks.

“These maids will serve the masters. Please feel free to call them if you need anything.”

“Alright.”

“Then, I will now guide you through the mansion.”

The Head Butler showed them around the mansion, explaining each area.

Training room, lounge, dining room, maids’ room, butler’s room, office, library, meeting room, and so on.

“And the big master can use this room, and the small masters can use the rooms over here.”

Big master. Jung Minwoo entered the room and looked around.
T hi s w a s c op i e d f r o m ki n g m tl . o r g

‘…It’s the size of a classroom?’

It was a very spacious room filled with luxurious-looking items.

‘It was a good decision to join Satan.’

Jung Minwoo once again thought it was a good decision to join Satan.

‘Of course, if I can’t kill the 3rd Rank demons, I won’t be able to continue this life.’

As he was looking around the room, the Head Butler told him to ring the bell in the room if he needed anything and then disappeared.

‘Should I read some books in the library?’

He had just come up with a brilliant idea to deal with the 3rd Rank demons, so he needed to check if it was feasible.

Th i s w as co p i e d f r o m k ing m tl.o r g
“I’m going to the library for a bit.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Venus came out of the room, showing interest.

“Why the library?”

“There’s something I need to look up.”

“Should I come with you?”

“Sure.”

Jung Minwoo nodded at Venus’s suggestion.

“Do you guys want to come too?”

He asked the Demon Communion members who had entered their rooms.

“No, I’m going to the training room with Rok.”

Anubis took her equipment and walked out into the hallway.

“What about Elin?”

He asked Elin, who came out into the hallway after Anubis.

“…I’m going to relax in the massage chair in the lounge.”

Elin expressed her intention to head to the lounge.

“Then, see you guys at dinner.”

With that, Jung Minwoo headed to the library with Venus.

The book Jung Minwoo was looking for was a book on causality.

The reason for looking for a book on causality was simple.

It was to find out how much he could interfere with a planet.

‘Hmm… As expected, an ordinary demon who is not a Demon Lord can’t directly interfere with a planet.’

Jung Minwoo flipped through the pages, lost in thought.

‘As expected, would there be a problem if I carried out the plan as planned?’

Just as he was approaching the last page.

‘Hmm?’

Jung Minwoo’s eyes sparkled.

― When a resident of a planet attacks a demon first, interference is possible without any repercussions because it is the higher being who violates causality, but the power that can be used is restricted.

Confirming that the content he wanted appeared, Jung Minwoo closed the book with a smirk.

‘This way, I can deal with the demons without having to put in any effort.’

Now that he knew he could carry out the plan as planned, all he had to do was execute it according to the plan.

As he was putting the book back where it belonged.

Knock, knock—

“Big Master-nim? Small Master-nim? It’s dinner time.”

A maid entered the library and informed them that it was dinner time.

‘Has it been this long already?’

Jung Minwoo felt that time had passed by quickly, and he looked at Venus.

“Shall we go eat?”

“Yes.”

Jung Minwoo and Venus then followed the maid’s guidance to the dining room.
