Chapter 476: Acting as Maou Sadou
At this time, many people in the underworld and the human world are looking forward to a show that will be aired on DevilTube.
To be more precise, it is an anime series titled "Demon Lord at Work!" in collaboration with "Explosive Heat Girl Magical Kyouko Flame". This show has been widely discussed two months ago even though it has only released one movie and one episode in a series.
Viewers have gotten to know the handsome Demon Lord who fell in love with Magical Kyouko in a battle at his castle. However, the movie's ending ended with Kyouko escaping to Earth and deciding to live the life of a high school girl honestly because she was distracted by love.
The girl was too nervous and shy that she didn't know her act of running away broke the Demon Lord's heart and decided to continue conquering his world — Ente Isla.
In the anime series, or at least that's how Serafall fooled many viewers in the human world because they didn't know the visual effects like magic and explosions in the show were real.
The viewers in the underworld, specifically the devils know the visual effects in the show are real. But they don't mind this and actually enjoy it.
Especially in episode one Demon Lord at Work! /Hataraku Maou-sama! where after three months have passed since the events in the movie. The Demon Lord had fought with Hero Rias who led humanity to attack his castle.
The episode ended with Hero Rias seemingly looking at the Demon Lord the wrong way. The viewers speculated that, even though Rias was a Hero, she seemed to be greedy for the Demon Lord's body!
The plot was interesting, making them want to see what would happen to the Demon Lord because at that moment Hero Rias seemed to unleash a very powerful force to capture him.
After that, the anime production was temporarily halted which made many viewers almost crazy as they still wanted to watch the next episode!
Why is the owner of Leviathan TV, Serafall so cruel. However, they got the good news that today the second episode of Demon Lord at Work! will be aired soon.
That was why right now, Zekram Bael was sitting in front of the TV with a cup of tea and snacks hastily prepared by the maids in his house.
If the devils out there saw a legendary figure in the underworld acting like this...
They would definitely be surprised.
"When does the show start? It's already over nine. Did I misunderstand? It doesn't start at 9am but actually at 9pm?"
Without turning around, Zekram asked one of the maids standing behind him.
"In the announcement posted by Maou Leviathan yesterday. Her program starts at 9 am, Zekram-sama."
"There might be a technical glitch in her studio. I will wait, I hope the girl from the Belphegor Clan also plays her role well."
Of course, there was a reason why the Belphegor Clan Chief who was only interested in Rating Games was willing to play a movie. It wasn't just because of Serafall's invitation, but there was also Zekram's intervention.
Zekram smiled slightly.
He had not forgotten his deal with Eiji two months ago and considering Roygun's appearance— the boy must be interested in the girl, right?
With a little threat about her little secret that he might reveal to the public if she did not agree. Roygun agreed to Serafall's invitation to play a movie and there she would definitely meet Eiji.
Although the secret about King Piece that the girl used to become one of the top ranked in the Rating Game was a cheating thing and problematic for the balance in the underworld.
It was just a matter of balance.
In the face of absolute power like Eiji possessed.
As long as the boy was getting attached to the underworld. Zekram thought everything was fine. He would be the matchmaker for Eiji and the women of the underworld and he happened to be very good at this thanks to his years of experience.
Ahem! This was his hidden profession and by the way, this event also excited him.
For an old man like Zekram, the show created by Serafall was a great source of entertainment.
"Oh it's finally started."
At this moment, the people who had been waiting were happy that the event they had been waiting for had finally started!
Each of them including the women in Eiji's house who had free time were staring at the TV screen or their cell phones.
Still, when the other viewers were watching the opening with the Japanese song...
[Hey this is a bit embarrassing.]
The heroines: ???
Eiji's inner voice suddenly sounded.
They wondered what that guy was complaining about?
[Although I know the script is like this. How can someone like me be a MgDonald's employee?!]
[But that's okay. Isn't that just pretend? I'm an expert.]
After the opening ended, the screen displayed the Demon Lord who was actually Eiji. However, unlike in the previous episode where he was wearing a black robe and armor that made him look like the Demon Lord.
Now the viewers saw him wearing a red uniform with the familiar 'W' logo and standing behind a cashier's counter.
The surroundings were even similar to the inside of a fast food restaurant. Eiji really...
[Mai: Pufft!]
Mai who was watching from her apartment room couldn't help but laugh. The other women in the group chat were the same.
It was their first time seeing Eiji wearing such clothes. Although he was still very handsome, the contrast from his usual self left them dumbfounded.
"Welcome, what would you like to order?"
Eiji... I mean the Demon Lord asked kindly at the female customer who seemed to want to order in front of him.
Where was the Demon Lord who previously looked cold and looked down on humans?
This change in style was unexpected, leaving the viewers amused.
By the way there was a time jump but they watched patiently as the Demon Lord's current situation would probably be revealed slowly.
"Give me a smile."
The female customer said.
Instead of ordering food or drinks, she ordered the thing that made the Demon Lord's lips twitch.
And it seemed like she wasn't an ordinary side character. Compared to the few customers who were queuing behind her, she was a beautiful woman with long blonde hair wearing an office suit.
"Miss, there is no such thing on the menu. Please order something else."
The Demon Lord refused. In fact, he had smiled even if it was just a little, but it was enough to show that he looked friendly.
I don't know what kind of smile the woman in front of him wanted.
However, considering he wanted to be promoted to a permanent employee so that his hourly salary would increase by 100 Yen. He decided to smile even wider.
That's what the Demon Lord said in his inner monologue.
"As I thought, you are very handsome." The female customer smiled slightly as if she was satisfied to see the Demon Lord's smile. She was previously expressionless which made her look like a cold beauty. But when she smiled, she looked very charming.
"My name is Mars. I want a cheeseburger, cola and you as my husband."
"!!!" The other customers and the viewers were shocked.
[Mars, have you forgotten the script? Your identity is one of a Goddess pretending to be human. You're here to watch over the Demon Lord and order food honestly!]
[Why did your dialog become like this? Your script is wrong!]
Hearing Eiji's inner voice, Mars fell silent. She was the Goddess of War and her forte was swinging a sword. Although for the previous few days she had practiced her acting skills, her memory in remembering the thing called 'script' was concerning and she only remembered a few details.
So, she just said what she wanted. Especially when seeing Eiji's smile, Mars couldn't resist expressing her love.
Eiji glanced at Serafall who was sitting in the director's chair behind the camera. The environment around them was a replica made by the same mechanism as the Rating Game arena.
Serafall gestured with her hand as if to say "Continue".
Eiji had no choice but to improvise.
"One cheeseburger and cola. Do you want to add black pepper fries? That's one of our most popular menu items."
"Then I want that too. But why-"
"The total is 270 Yen."
"...."
He ignored Mars' last order earlier as if he had never heard of it.
Mars pouted, making the viewers laugh. She took out money from her wallet and gave it to the Demon Lord before reluctantly sitting down at one of the tables to wait for her order to arrive.
The queue of customers finally continued.
While serving the other customers, the Demon Lord couldn't help but remember the things that had happened to him.
It had been two months since he and one of his most loyal generals, Roygun came into this world. Naturally, there was a reason why a Demon Lord like himself was working as an employee of MgDonald's.
It was caused by the Rias Heroes and the human troops. They lost the war so to avoid death, he was forced to retreat by opening a portal to another dimension.
Unfortunately, the coordinates of the other dimension were random.
He and Roygun ended up in this world.
More precisely, it was different from Ente Isla. This world called Earth and the island nation he was in called Japan had no magic!
As a Demon Lord, he barely even had any magic in his body and had saved the rest of his magic only for emergencies.
For example when he first came to this strange world, having no place to stay and no money. He had used most of his leftover magic from the fight with the hero to mind control some humans.
He told those humans to reveal the general knowledge of this world, asking for their help to make him and Roygun family cards, residence cards and open bank accounts!
His magic was almost depleted because of that.
The Demon Lord or Maou Sadao as he was called on his family card. He was currently forced to follow the rules of living in the human world because he was helpless.
He didn't even know how to recharge his magic in a world where the air had no magic at all.
Speaking of jobs, Maou had tried to earn money by applying for jobs in several places before resigning and looking for another new job with a decent salary. Being an employee at MgDonald's was his new job for the past two weeks and he was still an apprentice so his hourly salary was not that great.
'But there's no need to worry! As long as I manage to get promoted to a permanent employee. My salary will increase!'
'In order to become a Demon Lord again. I must first solve my and Roygun's financial problems.'
Hearing the Demon Lord's reasoning and goals... No, he's called Maou Sadao now. What kind of weird name is that?
Many viewers couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha! What a pathetic Demon Lord. I thought it was going to be a fight scene like the previous episode so that I could see the power of Rias's fiancé."
"But yeah... It's not bad either."
One of them was Sairaorg Bael, the cousin of Rias and Sirzechs.
He happened to have just finished his training with his peerage and right now, he was watching tv at home because he had also heard that the show Serafall made was going to air again.
The reason he was interested in watching was actually because the people in the show were Rias and her fiancé, Eiji Seiya.
Ever since hearing the rumors about how strong Eiji was. Sairaorg had the desire to fight with him.
But unfortunately, it was difficult for him to have such an opportunity and he could only see Eiji's strength from some of his battle videos.
This event was also one of them.
By the way, he was not alone.
"Sairaorg, you said Rias's fiancé. You mean the boy who plays Maou Sadao is your cousin's fiancé?" A beautiful woman with brown hair and violet eyes asked curiously.
She was Sairaorg's mother, Misla Bael. It had been two months since she woke up from her Sleep Disease-induced coma. She was cured thanks to the new healing magic developed by the Sitri Clan.
Or rather her fiancé the Sitri heir, Eiji had helped the Sitri clan to develop the magic that could cure her.
Thanks to her good relationship with Lady Sitri, Misla knew details that not even the devil society in the underworld knew much about.
That was why she was so interested in the topic of the boy.
Although she had heard many rumors about Eiji, this was the first time she had seen his appearance in a TV show.
...
Eiji didn't know what good things were happening behind him.
It seemed that participating in the anime that Serafall made still gave him some benefits.
"Maou-san, what were you talking about with the female customer earlier? You talked to her for quite a while."
Back again to the viewers' point of view.
A beautiful black-haired girl in a MgDonald's uniform came out of the kitchen and lined up beside the Demon Lord.
She also seemed to be serving as the cashier and asked curiously. For a moment, she inexplicably glared at Mars who was eating at a certain table.
Mars gasped and hurriedly averted her gaze.
"...." The viewers. Seeing that suspicious movement that strangely looked very natural— they wondered if the two knew each other?
The Demon Lord, didn't seem to notice anything wrong.
As the Demon Lord, you really are like the ideal MgDonald's employee.
"Diana, you finally came. As for that woman, Mars... Well when ordering, she also inexplicably ordered me to be her husband."
Maou scratched his head with an awkward expression and was completely unaware of his charm as a very handsome man. Eiji played his character perfectly.
If it was really him, he would definitely say narcissistically.
The heroines who knew Eiji well even stared at the man inside the screen in disbelief.
[Utaha: Who is it? Is it really Eiji? I can't believe it.]
[Mai: I don't believe it either.]
[Mio: +1]
[Kurumi: +1]
[Run: +1]
[Sona: If it was Eiji, he would probably say "Diana, you finally came. You mean the beautiful woman named Mars? Besides ordering food and drinks, she seems to be in love with me and wants me to be her husband."]
[Utaha: ...Pufft!]
[Mai: Hahaha!]
[Lilith: I feel like Eiji is really going to say that... Hehe.]
[Anastasia: Ahahaha! It's really him.]
[Liese: It really is Darling.]
[Hijiri: +1]
[Haruna: +1]
[Lala ?: +1]
[Yui: +1]
[Akeno: +1]
[Ravel: +1]
..
..
While the women were busy commenting on Eiji's acting, Diana who was also improvising according to her character as a Goddess who also pretended to be human looked surprised.
"What?!" She looked at Eiji... Maou anxiously and said, "T-Then what is Maou-san's answer to that shameless woman? There's no way you... agreed to her request, right? You refused, right? Maou-san."
[Wow... Unlike Mars, Diana's acting is superb. She can even keep up with the improvisation of this strange script even though her expression looks like a yandere who is anxious that her crush will be snatched up by another woman. But it was appropriate and interesting in this situation.]
[Still, I suspect this woman is really in love with me.]
The heroines: "...."
This is the Eiji they know, he's so narcissistic!
Diana almost blushed, fortunately she managed to maintain her character as a high school girl who was working part-time and became Maou's coworker who secretly liked her.
Despite her identity as a Goddess who should hate the guy.
Viewers found these female identities interesting.
"I refused of course and ignored her as if I had never heard of her." Maou said before serving the next customer.
After all, his goal was to regather his magic power and return to Ente Isla.
Not to become the husband of a woman in this world. Although that did not sound bad because Mars was a beautiful woman, his ambition to rule the world was more important.
She did not disappoint Roygun either. The two of them divided the tasks. While his subordinates were looking for ways to restore their magic power in this world, she was in charge of making a living for them.
The viewers was moved by how pitiful the situation of the Demon Lord who lived in Japan was.
Unlike the devils of the underworld who can still use magic, even though they live in the human world because their bodies naturally regenerate magic power without caring about the environment.
The situation of Maou Sadao who was the Demon Lord of Ente Isla was different.
"Oh that's good." Diana let out a sigh of relief that made Maou look at her in confusion.
She blushed and in a small voice said, "I mean it's good that Maou-san wasn't fooled by that woman. I heard lately that there are many bad women who like to trick men into dating or becoming their husbands."
"What happens after the men agree to date or become their husbands?"
"T-They... They'll just play tricks on you by squeezing your wallet dry."
Diana looked for a random reason.
Maou looked surprised. "Although that woman, Mars seems to be an office lady with a salary of over 1000 yen per hour?"
"Maou-san, don't be fooled! A woman's appearance can be very deceiving."
"I see. I'm glad I turned her down and should be more careful if any other woman asks me the same thing in the future."
"Eh that..."
Looking at Maou who decided to strengthen his defenses on women in the future, Diana panicked and slightly regretted saying that.
She was obviously lying!
