The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Date (2)

As they stepped inside the upscale restaurant…

“…Oh.”

“…Wow.”

Jung Minwoo and Venus let out soft exclamations of admiration.

‘The interior and the night view are amazing.’

It was an upscale restaurant for a reason; a luxurious interior and beautiful night view unfolded before them.

Stopping their sightseeing, they moved towards the counter.

“Welcome. Do you have a reservation?”

A demon dressed in a suit asked politely if they had a reservation.

“Yes, we have a reservation.”

“May I have your name?”

“It’s Jung Minwoo.”

As you could tell just by him asking for a name, this was a place you couldn’t utilize unless you were above a certain rank.

“There’s a reservation for two under that name. Allow me to show you to your table.”

The demon finished checking the name on the list and guided Jung Minwoo and Venus to a table by the window.

“Here are your menus.”

Taking the menus the demon handed them, they looked over the food options.

Fairy Soup – 10,000 DP

Drake Steak – 30,000 DP

Minotauros T-bone Steak – 200,000 DP

.

.

‘…As expected of an upscale restaurant, the prices are on a different level.’

Considering that they had earned 150,000 DP from ‘Yurain’ planet, one could tell how absurdly expensive these prices were.

‘The Demon World is great and all, but the food is priced abnormally high.’

Jung Minwoo turned his gaze to Venus to ask what she wanted to eat.

“…”

Venus was looking at the menu with a shocked expression.

She carefully closed the menu and said to the restaurant staff, “…We’ll order after discussing it for a bit.”

“Certainly. Please ring the bell when you’ve made your decision.”

The demon told them to ring the bell when they decided and left.

Venus, seeing the staff member leave, turned her gaze to Jung Minwoo and spoke cautiously, “…Minwoo-nim, this place is too expensive.”

At her words, Jung Minwoo shrugged and replied, “It’s expensive, but it’s fine. I have plenty of DP.”

“…Still, wouldn’t we have to use up all the DP we earned if we eat here?”

At Venus’s worry, Jung Minwoo made a playful expression and said, “Don’t tell me you thought I’d use the DP we worked hard to earn together for personal reasons?”

“…What?”

Venus tilted her head at his words, as if asking what he meant.

“I recently received a generous DP support from Satan. So, you don’t have to worry about the price.”

That’s right.

Two days ago, along with making the contract with Jung Minwoo, Satan had immediately provided DP support.

“May I ask how much you received…?”

At Venus’s question, Jung Minwoo held out all his fingers and answered, “1,000,000 DP.”

“1, 1,000,000…?”

“Yeah, and he said he’d support me with that much every month.”

DP you could only obtain by invading empires seven times.

However, as if the Demon Lord’s spending habits were different, he promised to support him with 1,000,000 DP every month.

“Still, it’d be a waste to use it all on entertainment, so I’m planning to buy things like items needed for monster strengthening or planetary invasion after this.”

Venus, after hearing the full explanation, let out a sigh of relief, placing a hand on her chest.

“Phew… That’s a relief.”

After reassuring her, Venus called the staff member and ordered their food again.

After about 20 minutes had passed…

“Here are the two Drake Steaks and the Seiren Wine you ordered.”

The staff member quickly set the food and wine on the table.

“…It looks really delicious.”

“Shall we dig in then?”

Jung Minwoo and Venus lifted their knives and cut into their steaks.

And, carefully spearing the meat with their forks, they put it into their mouths.

Melting sound

“?!”

T hi s w a s co p i e d fr o m k i n gm t l . or g
The meat in their mouths disappeared in an instant.

‘Delicious!’
T h i s was c op ie d fr o m ki ng mt l. o r g

It was a heavenly taste, as if their tongues were tap dancing.

‘Should I call it a devilishly good taste in this case?’

Jung Minwoo, thinking silly thoughts, turned his gaze to Venus.

“…De, Delicious.”

She was wearing an expression of ecstasy.

“I’m glad you’re satisfied.”

“Hehe, maybe because it’s expensive, but it tastes great.”

Venus replied with a wide smile at Jung Minwoo’s words.

As they continued their meal…

“I never imagined I’d be eating at such a luxurious restaurant after graduating from the training center.”

Venus spoke, her face filled with emotion.

“Back then, we were too busy competing to graduate. We couldn’t even imagine enjoying leisure like this.”

Jung Minwoo also agreed with Venus’s words, reminiscing about their time at the training center.

“If I hadn’t followed you, Minwoo-nim, I wouldn’t be enjoying this kind of luxury, right?”

“You’re already satisfied with just this?”

“What?”

“Just wait a little longer. When I ascend to Demon Lord, I’ll let you eat delicious food that’s incomparable to this every day.”

“I’m looking forward to that.”

They chuckled and looked at each other.

“”…””

And their gazes, which had been curving into smiles, began to change into something more intense.

Thump, thump, thump

Jung Minwoo felt his heart pounding again, and as unknown emotions surged within him…

“Are you Jung Minwoo-gun?”

“…”

A nuisance interrupted his thoughts, speaking to him.

Jung Minwoo, feeling irritated inwardly, turned his head towards the voice.

“Nice to meet you.”

A woman with red hair was waving her hand with an alluring smile.

One day before.

The woman with red hair was enjoying a social gathering with other demons as usual.

“Unni, how was the demon you met this time?”

At a demon’s question, the woman let out a hollow laugh and replied, “He was a dud, just like the other men.”

“What didn’t you like about him?”

“Do I really have to say it? He was just… not my type.”

The woman had been on about 10,000 blind dates through introductions from those around her, but she had never met a man who caught her eye.

‘They’re all just guys who live off their parents’ fortune and act like they achieved it themselves… How could I possibly be interested?’

She was just looking for a handsome and capable man, but she didn’t know it would be so hard to find a demon who met her standards.

‘At this rate, I might end up living alone for eternity.’

Demons were immortal beings with no lifespan, so they didn’t consider marriage to be that important. However…

‘Still, I want to meet a partner who’s compatible with me and build a future together.’

Unusually, the woman’s desire to marry was stronger than other demons.

“How about taking multiple husbands?”

At the demon’s new suggestion, the woman frowned.

“I don’t like that either. What’s the point of gathering a bunch of incompetent guys?”

“Hmm, is that so?”

“Sigh, forget it. I’m leaving.”

The woman, feeling there was no point in continuing the conversation, got up from her seat.

“You’re leaving already?”
Th is w a s co pi ed f ro m ki ng mtl . o rg

“Yeah, I’m going to go work.”

With that, the woman returned to her castle.

And as she entered her room to unpack…

“Daughter, you’re back?”

Satan was sitting in her room, greeting her with a sly smile.

“Dad? What brings you here at this hour?”

The woman tilted her head, seeing Satan in her room.

“I came to introduce you to a decent demon.”

“Introduce…? You?”

The woman couldn’t help but be surprised by Satan’s words.

‘You’ve never set me up with anyone before, saying there’s no demon good enough for me. What’s gotten into you?’

In the 5,000 years she had lived, her father, Satan, had never once tried to set her up with a man.

“You’ll like him when you see him.”

Satan took out a photo and handed it to the woman.

“His face is my type, but you know I hate guys who are all looks and no substance, right?”

At the woman’s words, Satan replied with a confident smile, “Top graduate of the training center. Got rid of his intern tag in a month.”

A very brief introduction.

‘…Top graduate and got rid of his intern tag in a month?’

However, the content was quite extraordinary.

Being the top graduate itself was proof of ability, and it was also difficult to get rid of the intern tag in such a short time.

“Ahem, not bad.”

The woman, putting on a coy expression, signaled to Satan that she liked him.

“But, there’s one problem.”
Th is w a s co p i e d f r om k i n g m t l .or g

“What is it?”

“I haven’t talked to him about it yet.”

Satan laughed awkwardly and said he hadn’t asked the blind date candidate for his opinion.

“What’s the problem with that? If I like him, I can just seduce him. You know, Dad? There’s no demon I can’t seduce if I set my mind to it.”

T h i s w a s co pi e d f r o m king mt l . o rg
“Well, your dad knows that better than anyone.”

“Good, I’ll meet him. Just set up the meeting.”

“Don’t worry about that. He’s supposed to come to my birthday party.”

“Really? I’ll see his face then.”

The woman, with an alluring smile, showed her anticipation.

“I’ve delivered what I needed to, so your father will be on his way.”
Th i s w a s c o pi e d f r om k in g m t l . o r g

“Already? Why don’t you eat something before you go?”

“I’ve already eaten.”

“Alright. See you at your birthday party then.”

“Sure.”

Snap

As soon as Satan snapped his fingers…

Whoosh

He disappeared from his spot.

The woman, seeing Satan disappear, picked up the photo again and examined Jung Minwoo’s face.

T h is w a s co p i e d fr om k i n gm t l . o rg
‘I hope this one’s different from the other duds.’

She thought she should put some effort into her outfit for the first time in a while and headed straight for her dressing room.

The next day.

“Haha, it’s an honor to meet you.”

The woman was on a blind date at an upscale restaurant.

‘This one’s a dud too.’

She was supposed to meet the demon her dad introduced at his birthday party, but she was on another blind date today just in case she didn’t like him.

‘Sigh, shall I end this now?’

She was feeling bored and wondering if she should leave when…

Footsteps

‘Hmm?’

She saw the man from the photo walk into the restaurant with another woman.

‘Oh… He’s even better looking in person.’

The woman next to him, blushing, was a bit bothersome, but…

‘If I set my mind to it, stealing him would be a piece of cake.’

There had never been a man who hadn’t fallen for her, so she quickly dismissed her concern.

‘I’ll have to find a chance to talk to him later.’

She thought it wouldn’t be bad to greet him in advance.

‘First, I need to get rid of the man in front of me.’

Making up her mind, the woman turned her gaze to the man in front of her and said, “Shall we end this now?”

“Already?”

Thi s was c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . or g
“Yes, after talking to you, I don’t feel the need to spend any more time with you.”

At her dismissive words, the demon doubted his ears, wondering if he had heard correctly.

“You heard correctly, so will you leave now?”

At the woman’s following words, the man’s face hardened in real time.

“…You’re quite rude.”

“I hear that often.”

“…You’ll regret treating me so rudely.”

“I doubt it. I don’t think that will happen.”

“…”

The man, his face flushed, left.

‘Now that the nuisance is gone, shall I go talk to him?’

The woman, without hesitation, got up from her seat and went straight to Jung Minwoo, greeting him.

“Are you Jung Minwoo-gun?”

Meanwhile, Jung Minwoo was bewildered by the woman’s greeting.

‘Who is she?’

Her greeting meant she knew him, but he had never seen her before.

‘…Her red hair and features resemble Satan in a strange way.’

Jung Minwoo used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ to check the identity of the woman who greeted him.

【Displaying information for ‘Sayori.’】

As Heaven’s Eye activated, a new information window appeared.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: Sayori

Gender: Female

T h i s wa s c o p i e d f ro m k in gm t l . o rg
Age: 5,000 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Rank: 1st Rank

Alignment: Evil

Unique Trait: Massacre

Current Emotion: Interest

‘…Sayori? Why does her name sound so Japanese?’ He wondered for a moment about her Japanese-sounding name, but…

‘Well, it must be a coincidence.’

Jung Minwoo decided not to think too deeply about it and looked at the other information.

‘1st Rank and a unique trait called Massacre…’

He wanted to check out her unique trait right away, but since she was waiting for his answer, he decided to check it out later when he had a chance.

‘Her emotion is interest… What is she interested in?’

Jung Minwoo used ‘Mind’s Eye’ to accurately grasp her intentions.

【Hmph, he must have already fallen for my beauty since he’s speechless.】
T h is w as c o p i e d fro m ki n g m t l . or g

Letters formed above her head, transforming Sayori’s thoughts into text.

‘She’s overflowing with confidence in her beauty.’

Jung Minwoo chuckled inwardly at her groundless conviction.

Certainly, Sayori was beautiful.

Sexy looks and a voluptuous figure.

It was true that she was one of the most beautiful demons he had ever seen. However…

‘She’s not my type.’

Unfortunately, Jung Minwoo’s taste was closer to Venus’s.

As Jung Minwoo was about to open his mouth to ask why she had spoken to him…

“…Who are you?”

Venus spoke to Sayori first, her eyes filled with wariness.

“…I wasn’t speaking to you.”

Sayori answered Venus’s question with a cold expression.

“…What?”

Venus frowned and was about to get up from her seat when…

“Calm down.”

Jung Minwoo grabbed Venus’s wrist, stopping her from getting up.

“I apologize. I’m currently spending time with this lady.”

He then looked at Sayori and indirectly told her he couldn’t give her his time right now.

“…Hmm, is that so?”

Sayori made an intrigued expression and said, “We’ll be seeing each other again soon, so it wouldn’t be too late to have a deeper conversation then.”

She uttered those cryptic words and turned around without hesitation.

‘We’ll be seeing each other again soon…?’

Jung Minwoo, feeling suspicious of her words, read her thoughts.

【Playing hard to get, huh? Let’s see if you can act like that at Dad’s birthday party.】

He realized that her words about seeing each other soon meant seeing each other at the birthday party.

‘I have a bad feeling about this…’

Jung Minwoo had a hunch that something troublesome would happen at Satan’s birthday party.
