The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 66

Chapter 66: To the Demon World (2)

As I entered the office following Satan,

‘This is the office?’

Jung Minwoo looked around the office with a puzzled look.

‘…Not an art gallery?’

It was understandable because the office was filled with sculptures modeled after Satan, starting with a portrait of him.

Also, when we arrived at the center,

‘…The Creation of Adam?’

A sculpture modeled after Satan was standing naked, extending his left hand. And a sculpture painted black all over was extending his right hand, dressed in fine clothes.

‘This is too similar to the mural in the Vatican Museums?’

Jung Minwoo thought it was not just similar, but identical to the ‘Creation of Adam’ mural he had seen on Earth before his reincarnation.

‘…Is that pose common?’

Unable to contain his curiosity, Jung Minwoo pointed to the sculpture and asked Satan.

“The pose is unique. May I ask where you got the inspiration for it?”

As if he had been waiting for this question, Satan answered with sparkling eyes.

“That? I didn’t make it. Lucifer gave it to me as a gift.”

“Lucifer-nim gave it as a gift?”
T h is w a s c o p ie d f r o m ki n gm tl . o r g

“Ah, you wouldn’t know, would you? All the artworks in this office are gifts.”

Satan naturally diverted the question about the sculpture and started boasting about the gifts he had received.
T h i s was c op i ed f r o m k i n g m tl .o r g

“I told them not to give me gifts, but they insisted on giving them to me. Haha, maybe I’m a more respected Demon Lord than I thought?”

“…”

Considering Satan’s actions just a moment ago, he probably pressured the demons into giving him gifts.

‘Well, Satan doesn’t know.’

Jung Minwoo decided to ask Lucifer where he got the inspiration for the sculpture when he had the chance later.

After walking for about 15 minutes, we reached the desk located at the end of the office.

“Whew.”

Satan sat down on the chair and handed me a parchment on the desk, saying,

T hi s w a s co p i e d fr om k i n gm t l .org
“Read it and bleed.”

Jung Minwoo carefully checked the contents of the parchment he received.

‘Basic stuff.’

The contents of the contract were as follows:

― ‘Party A’ refers to ‘Satan’, and ‘Party B’ refers to ‘Jung Minwoo’.

― ‘Party B’ is appointed as a member of the Demon Lord’s faction.

― ‘Party B’ shall not betray ‘Party A’.

Violation of this clause shall result in death.

― ‘Party B’ shall not harm demons belonging to the Demon Lord’s faction.

Violation of this clause shall result in death.

As soon as Jung Minwoo bled on the parchment,

Plop—

Fwoosh—

【Contract Complete】

A message popped up saying that the contract was complete.

“Welcome to becoming a true member of the Demon Lord’s faction.”

“””Thank you.”””

At Satan’s words, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members bowed their heads and replied.

“Then, we shall take our leave.”

Jung Minwoo, having finished his business, greeted Satan and was about to turn around with the Demon Communion members to leave the office when,

“Minwoo, stay for a moment. I have something to tell you.”

T h i s w a s co p ie d f ro m k i ng m t l . o rg
Satan called out to him, saying he had something to tell him separately.

He wondered what else there was to talk about, but

“Alright.”

Since it was something he could confirm directly, he didn’t ask separately.

“””We shall take our leave first.”””

As soon as the Demon Communion members left the office,

“Let’s write one more contract.”

Satan took out a parchment from his drawer.

“…What’s this?”

Jung Minwoo looked at Satan with a puzzled look.

“Just read it first.”

As if telling him to read the contract first, Satan handed him the parchment.

‘What kind of contract is this?’

Jung Minwoo carefully examined the contents of the parchment he received.

― ‘Party A’ refers to ‘Satan’, and ‘Party B’ refers to ‘Jung Minwoo’.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m ki n g mt l.org

― ‘Party B’ shall not betray ‘Party A’ even after becoming a Demon Lord.

In return, ‘Party A’ shall spare no effort in supporting ‘Party B’ until he becomes a Demon Lord.

Violation of this clause shall result in death.

― ‘Party B’ shall side with ‘Party A’ when he becomes a Demon Lord.

Violation of this clause shall result in death.

‘Demon Lord?’

Jung Minwoo turned to Satan and asked,

“I’m only a 4th Rank now. Is it necessary to write a contract?”

Satan shook his index finger and replied,

“No, it’s necessary. I think you’ll become a Demon Lord soon.”

In other words, he was saying he wanted to stake his claim in advance.

‘Does that mean he thinks highly of my abilities?’

Jung Minwoo also believed that he would become a Demon Lord someday, so Satan’s actions were understandable in a way.

‘When I become a Demon Lord, I won’t be under the Demon Lord’s faction, so he wants to get assurance by writing a contract in advance.’

Jung Minwoo then asked Satan another question.

“I think the other kids have the potential to become Demon Lords too. Why did you call me separately?”

“They already know about the contract with you. Is there a need to make a separate contract? When you become a Demon Lord, you’ll lead the others.”

Jung Minwoo nodded calmly as Satan had known about this from before.

“I see. The contract states that you will spare no effort in supporting me. What kind of support are you talking about?”

“A way to quickly raise your Rank, recommending a good planet, and DP support.”

Unprecedented support.

‘These are all things I need.’

T hi s w as c op i ed f r o m k ing m t l.or g
Jung Minwoo said with a satisfied smile,

“I’ll bleed right away.”

“Good, I’m glad you’re not making me wait.”

After bleeding and completing the contract,

“Then, to commemorate the contract, I’ll tell you a way to quickly raise your Rank.”

He said he would tell me how to raise my Rank.

“A Demon Lord is given the right to raise the Rank of a demon of their choice once without any cost.”

“…Are you saying you’ll raise my Rank, Demon Lord-nim?”

“No, I already used it on Lucifer a long time ago.”

“…”

As Jung Minwoo’s expression hardened, Satan burst into laughter and said,

“Hear me out. You know that guy, Baal?”

“Yes.”

“He hasn’t used that right yet.”

As I gave him a look as if to ask what Baal having the right had to do with me, he said,

“Baal will be coming to visit for my birthday this time. Provoke him then and make him bet.”

Satan explained the reason.

“…You want me to win the bet and make him use that right on me?”

“That’s right.”

Jung Minwoo stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

‘…That old geezer won’t be incompetent enough to bet that right.’

He might not like it, but there was a reason why he was ranked 1st.

“Will that old geezer… I mean, will Baal accept the bet?”

“Provocation is your specialty, isn’t it? You have to create a situation where he can’t help but bet.”

At Satan’s words, Jung Minwoo replied with a sly expression.

“It is my specialty.”

Since Satan had asked him to put on a play, he could use this opportunity to successfully provoke Baal.

“And even if the bet doesn’t happen, there are many other ways to raise your Rank, so don’t worry.”

“That’s reassuring.”

Since there were other ways, Jung Minwoo decided to take it easy.

“Then, I’ll be going back now.”

T h i s w as c opied f r o m k i ng m t l . o r g
“Okay, see you in a month.”

Jung Minwoo greeted Satan and left the office, heading straight for the mansion.

Back at the mansion, Jung Minwoo relayed the conversation he had with Satan to the Jungsin Cult members.

“It’s great to hear that the Demon God-nim thinks highly of you, Minwoo-nim.”

Venus rejoiced as if it were her own accomplishment.

“Man, I want to become a Demon Lord quickly too.”

Anubis felt a surge of greed for the position of Demon Lord.

“…That’s good.”

Elin felt relieved, acknowledging the positive development.

“Minwoo will become a Demon Lord in no time! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok expressed his unwavering confidence.

‘It seems like our bond has become stronger since our trip to Yurain planet.’

Jung Minwoo was smiling contentedly, looking at the Jungsin Cult members, when…

“How are we going to prepare for the play?”

Venus brought up the play for Satan’s birthday celebration.

“First, we need to review Satan’s life story and write a script based on that.”

“So, are we starting preparations tomorrow?”

In response to her following question, Jung Minwoo shook his head and answered,

“No, I’m thinking of taking a break for about a week before we start.”

“A break?”

“Yes, we’ve been working hard, so I think it’s good to rest. We can use this opportunity to explore the Demon World. You haven’t had a chance to see the Demon World since graduating from the training center, have you?”

“That’s a great idea.”

Venus and the Jungsin Cult members fully agreed with taking a break.

“Let’s have some fun for a week!”

“…I need to catch up on all the sleep I’ve missed.”

“Hmm, what should we do for a week? Ribbit, ribbit.”

Afterward, Jung Minwoo and the Jungsin Cult members finished their meal and returned to their respective rooms.

‘Should I stop by the library?’

Jung Minwoo finished showering and headed to the library inside the mansion.

Upon entering the library, he began searching for books related to planets.

After about an hour of searching…

‘There’s nothing…’

No matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find any books related to Earth.

‘I’ll have to visit the grand library in the Demon World tomorrow and look for it there.’

The grand library was known as a repository of all knowledge, so there had to be books about Earth there.

One might wonder why he was going through all this trouble when he could just ask to be sent to Earth from the portal station.

‘I couldn’t find Earth as a planet…’

When he returned to the Demon World, he had checked just in case, but Earth didn’t exist as a planet.

‘There’s something I don’t know…’

Th i s wa s c op i ed f r o m ki n gm tl . o r g
Jung Minwoo speculated that there was something about Earth he was unaware of.

‘If it’s not in the grand library either, I’ll have to find another way…’

One might suggest asking Satan or Lucifer, who were mentioned in Earth’s literature, but…

‘That would only raise suspicion.’

If a demon who knew nothing suddenly mentioned Earth, it would raise unnecessary suspicions.

‘There’s no need to create a headache for myself.’

Jung Minwoo decided to visit the grand library as soon as day broke and returned to his room.

“I’ll close my eyes for about 30 minutes.”

Now that his Rank had increased and he had a considerable amount of demonic energy, he didn’t need to sleep, but he felt the need to close his eyes for at least 30 minutes, perhaps a lingering habit from his human life.

‘Looking at Elin, it might not be a habit.’

Elin also had a Rank and demonic energy level that allowed her to go without sleep, but seeing her take a nap every day made him think it might not be just a habit.

‘Well, should I try to get some sleep?’

Jung Minwoo stopped his idle thoughts and tried to fall asleep, when…

Knock, knock―
Th i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l.o r g

Someone knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

Jung Minwoo looked towards the door and asked who it was.

“Minwoo-nim, it’s me.”

Venus’s voice came from outside the door.

“Come in.”

Jung Minwoo felt a sense of curiosity about her visit at this hour and allowed her to enter.

Creak―

The door opened, and Venus stepped inside.

“?!”

Jung Minwoo couldn’t hide his shock when he saw her.

It was because her attire was quite suggestive.

‘…Is that her sleepwear?’

Venus was wearing a pink, sleeveless dress.

‘…Is it not the outfit that’s suggestive, but Venus herself?’

Jung Minwoo stared blankly at Venus with wide eyes.

“…”

As if feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Venus blushed slightly and walked towards the bed.

T h is wa s co p ie d f r o m kin g m t l . o r g
“…What brings you here at this hour?”

Jung Minwoo asked about the reason for her visit, masking his flustered state with a calm demeanor.

“I have something to tell you.”

Venus fidgeted and gave him a meaningful look.
