The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 68
Chapter 68: Date (1)
The next day.
‘Hmm, what should I wear?’
Venus was lost in thought as she looked at the clothes in the dress room.
‘It’s hard to choose an outfit because it’s our first date.’
It was her first date ever, so she wanted to dress up, but unfortunately, she had never dressed up before, so she couldn’t help but worry about what to wear.
‘All the clothes look pretty.’
Venus let out a small sigh and looked at the clothes.
“Venus-nim, is something bothering you?”
The Head Maid, who was in the dress room, asked her a question.
“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m going on a date with Minwoo-nim soon, and I’m worried about what to wear.”
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f r om k i ngm t l. o r g
Flash―
The Head Maid’s eyes changed at Venus’s words.
“…Head Maid?”
Th i s w as c o p ie d f r o m ki ng m t l . o r g
Venus had a sense of foreboding and called the Head Maid.
“Venus-nim, leave the clothes and makeup to us.”
The Head Maid answered with a firm expression.
“No, that’s too much…”
Venus tried to refuse, saying it was okay, but.
“You must trust us completely!”
The Head Maid’s will was firm, and she showed no sign of giving in.
‘Wouldn’t it be bad to leave it to them once…?’
They had been doing this kind of work all along, so their sense of choosing clothes would be better than hers.
“…Okay. Please.”
Venus decided to accept the Head Maid’s offer since she couldn’t choose her clothes anyway.
“Thank you for entrusting us.”
Clap, clap―
The Head Maid lightly clapped her hands.
Click
The maids who were waiting outside rushed into the dress room.
“Everyone, Venus-nim said she has a date with Minwoo-nim, so please dress her up with all your passion. Okay?”
“””Yes!”””
The maids answered with determined expressions at the Head Maid’s words.
“First, since it’s your first date, is it okay if we try to emphasize innocence, Venus-nim?”
“Ah, yes. I don’t mind.”
“Good. Let’s do your makeup first.”
When the maid brought the makeup supplies.
Swoosh
The Head Maid began to apply makeup to Venus’s face with skillful hands.
‘Will anything change just by putting something on my face…?’
Venus felt doubtful about putting on makeup even as she accepted the touch of the Head Maid.
‘Even if I do it, I don’t think it will change much…’
It was a remark that would have caused a stir among passing female demons, but as Venus said, she had a beautiful appearance even without makeup.
‘But will I look a little prettier?’
While feeling a sense of anticipation that something might change.
“Your makeup is done.”
The Head Maid brought the mirror as she said she was done.
“…Where.”
Venus looked in the mirror to see how her makeup turned out.
Thi s w a s c op i e d f r o m kingm t l . o r g
“Oh my.”
She couldn’t help but let out a sound of admiration.
This was because her face, which she thought couldn’t be more beautiful, became several times more beautiful.
‘…This can be.’
Venus began to feel that the Head Maid was amazing.
‘Minwoo-nim will be surprised when he sees me, right?’
A faint smile naturally formed on her lips as she thought of Jung Minwoo being surprised to see her face.
“Now that we’re done with your makeup, let’s do your hair.”
“Yes.”
Venus nodded without expressing any doubts at the Head Maid’s words.
“Head Maid-nim, how should we style her hair?”
“We decided to emphasize innocence, so do a half updo.”
“Got it.”
The maids pulled Venus’s hair back and pinned it up at the back of her head.
“…Wow.”
T h i s w as c o p ie d f r o m k i n g mt l . o rg
Venus couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration once again.
“Just by pulling her hair back, the atmosphere feels different.”
This was because the atmosphere changed at once with only a small amount of her loose hair pulled back and tied up.
“Good. Your hair is perfect.”
The Head Maid smiled with satisfaction and then began to look at the clothes hanging in the dress room.
“We should emphasize innocence with the clothes too, right?”
And the Head Maid brought a white dress and a pink cardigan the same color as her hair.
When she changed into the clothes she brought.
‘…Was I this pretty?’
T hi s w a s co p i e d f r o m k i ng m t l . o r g
The epitome of innocence was sitting in front of the mirror.
“Once you put on your shoes, you’re done.”
She even put on the pink shoes she brought.
“Perfect.”
The Head Maid and the maids gave a thumbs up, expressing their satisfaction.
“I wish you a successful date, Venus-nim.”
“Yes, I’ll be back.”
Venus left the dress room with a confident smile and a dignified air.
While Venus was busy being attended to by the maids, Jung Minwoo was also being dressed up by the butlers.
“Since it’s your first date, I think it’s better to dress lightly rather than try too hard.”
T h is w a s c o p i e d f ro m k i ngm t l.o r g
The Head Butler applied wax to his hands and groomed Jung Minwoo’s hair.
“You look great.”
A man with a refined and sexy aura was sitting in the mirror.
‘Just by doing my hair, the whole feeling has changed.’
Jung Minwoo thought that he hadn’t risen to the position of Head Butler for nothing.
“I prepared light-toned clothes.”
The clothes he brought next were a white plain t-shirt, beige pants, and a dark brown cardigan.
“Okay.”
He put on the clothes without a word.
Clap, clap, clap, clap―
The Head Butler and the butlers clapped their hands in admiration.
“You look really great.”
At their sincere admiration, Jung Minwoo just scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
“Now all you have to do is put on these shoes.”
He put on the shoes the Head Butler brought him, and after finishing all the preparations.
‘It’s almost time for our date.’
It was almost time for their date.
“Thanks for taking care of me. I’ll be going now.”
Jung Minwoo thanked the Head Butler and the butlers and immediately left the dress room.
As he went outside and moved towards the garden where they were supposed to meet.
“?!”
He could see Venus sitting in the garden.
‘…Amazing.’
Jung Minwoo admired her appearance, forgetting to even greet her.
It might be an insult to her, but she was so innocent that he felt a sense of sacredness.
As he continued to look at her.
T h i s w as c o p i e d f r om k i n g m t l . o rg
“Oh? Minwoo-nim!”
Venus, who belatedly found him, smiled brightly and waved her hand.
“Have you been waiting long?”
Jung Minwoo, who came to his senses, approached her and greeted her.
“No. I just arrived a little while ago.”
Venus answered with a flushed face.
‘Should I use Mind’s Eye?’
Jung Minwoo felt curious about what she was thinking and used Mind’s Eye to find out her true feelings.
【…How did you get even more handsome? Heart, don’t pound!】
‘I’m glad we think alike.’
Jung Minwoo felt a sense of relief and held out his hand to Venus.
“Shall we go then?”
Venus stared at his hand and then.
“…Yes.”
She lowered her head and carefully raised her hand.
Jung Minwoo, feeling playful, said with a mischievous smile.
“I want your bag, not your hand.”
“Ah…!”
Venus, flustered, quickly lowered her hand and handed him her bag.
“Just kidding.”
Jung Minwoo slung the bag over his shoulder and grabbed Venus’s wrist.
Then, holding her hand, Jung Minwoo said with a sly smile.
“Let’s go.”
“…Yes.”
After that, they got into the carriage, left the mansion, and headed for the city.
The first place Jung Minwoo took Venus to was the famous Art Street in the Demon World.
“Oh my, there are paintings on the walls?”
“They say that because this is the street where artists live, they paint on the walls unlike other places.”
Venus nodded at the explanation and admired the paintings on the walls.
“All the paintings are unique, so it’s fun to look at them.”
“I know, right?”
As Jung Minwoo and Venus walked along, looking at the paintings.
“There are a lot of demons here?”
At some point, a large plaza appeared, and they could see demons, presumably painters, gathered there.
“Since we’re on Art Street, shall we get our portraits done as a souvenir?”
At Jung Minwoo’s suggestion, Venus’s eyes sparkled and she answered.
“That would be great!”
“Okay, wait a minute.”
Jung Minwoo wanted to get it done by a good painter, so he used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ to check the demons’ information.

‘That demon would be good.’ And he was able to find a demon whose Unique Trait was specialized in painting.
‘Shall I take a closer look at how the effect works?’
【Art】
Receives a tremendous buff in the arts that express beauty.
After checking the effect, he was convinced that he had to get it done by this demon.
“Let’s get it done by that demon.”
“Okay.”
When they sat down in front of the demon with the Unique Trait ‘Art’.
“My, my, a handsome couple has arrived.”
The demon greeted them with a sly smile.
“We’ll be in your care.”
T h i s w as c o p ie d f rom k i n g mtl . o r g
Jung Minwoo didn’t deny it and handed him DP materialized into coins.
“Haha, I’ll treat you to a wonderful painting.”
T h is was c op i e d f r om ki n g m t l . o r g
The demon put the coins he received into his pocket and took out a pencil.
“Before I start the portrait, you two seem to be sitting too far apart. Could you please sit a little closer?”
“Like this?”
At his request, Venus sat close to Jung Minwoo and linked arms with him.
“Good. Let’s begin right away.”
The demon’s eyes became serious, and magic energy gathered on his pencil as he began to move his hand quickly.
Scribble, scribble, scribble, scribble, swoosh
About 10 minutes passed.
“It’s done.”
The demon wiped his sweat and showed them the portrait he had drawn.
“…Oh.”
“…Wow.”
Jung Minwoo and Venus were depicted in the painting as if they had taken a picture.
‘He’s quite skilled.’
He wondered if he would be able to capture Venus’s beauty in a painting, but.
‘He captured it perfectly.’
As expected, it seemed like he had the Unique Trait ‘Art’ for a reason, as he showed his ability to capture them perfectly.
“Would you like to inject magic energy into the painting?”
Following the painter’s words, when he injected magic energy into the painting.
Swoosh
T h is w a s c o p ie d f r om k i n g mt l . o r g
The expressions of Venus and himself changed to bright smiles.
‘There’s such a feature?’
As expected, even though the culture was similar to Earth, he felt a big difference in these minor details.
“Now, let me frame it for you.”
The demon framed the painting in a luxurious-looking frame and handed it over.
“I’m so glad we came here!”
Venus looked excited as she received the painting.
“Do you like it?”
“Yes, I love it!”
“Really? I’ll give it to you as a gift.”
“…Really?”
Venus blinked and asked back, as if she hadn’t expected him to give it to her as a gift.
“Yes, I actually brought you here because I wanted to give you a painting as a gift.”
“…Thank you.”
Venus smiled faintly and hugged the frame.
Then, she summoned subspace and carefully put the frame inside.
“Shall we continue looking around?”
“Yes!”
After looking around Art Street.
“It’ll be getting dark soon.”
“I know, right?”
The sun was already setting.
“Shall we go eat now?”
“Should we?”
Jung Minwoo and Venus decided to have dinner and took a carriage to a luxury restaurant.
