Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 37
When Ansel went to the stall the next day, he accepted Luther’s entire legacy. It was Joey who brought these things to him. He probably took a temporary leave from the convenience store to personally send these things to Ansel.
Looking at Joey’s dazed expression, Ansel nodded and accepted the fact that Luther returned to his home.
“Actually, from the very beginning, I knew that it was impossible for Luther to stay outside for a long time.” Ansel’s reaction was much calmer than Joey had expected, and his sunset-colored pupils seemed to be able to see through everything, “You must know more about these things than I do.”
Hearing this, Joey opened his mouth to say something, but Ansel shook his head slightly.
“You don’t need to explain anything to me, everyone has their own secrets.”
Joey was relieved to see that Ansel was easy to talk to. As a sixth-class star member of the Demon Hunter Club, Joey was on the night shift yesterday. When he saw a group of high-level demon hunters bringing Luther to the store, he already became aware of Luther’s fate.
….In the end, Luther was still taken back home.
Actually, the Demon Hunter Club didn’t treat Luther, who is the holy sword, too harshly. Since the holy sword wanted to stay outside, several people were arranged to protect him. In fact, even Joey, a senior member of the Demon Hunter Club was arranged here.
As a holy sword, he is naturally a thorn in the eyes of the demons and will be attacked continuously. The Demon Hunter Club told Luther in a relatively gentle way that although it was regretful, his unique identity was destined to prevent him from living an ordinary life.
“Actually, Luther has constantly been hitting a wall before. He changed a lot of small businesses, but nothing worked.”
Joey continued, “Originally, Luther was almost unable to support himself. He told me that he didn’t even have the ability to live independently, so he might as well go back earlier.”
“But Ansel, you helped him.”
Joey raised his head, his blue eyes sparkling.
“Thank you for helping him, Ansel!”
Ansel laughed.
“It’s not just because of me, he himself is just a little…” After a pause, Ansel tried to say it as tactfully as possible, “It’s just that his thinking is a little…”
Joey obviously knew about the test papers, and his eyes drifted away.
“Indeed, indeed.”
But then he became happy again.
“By the way, Luther left all of his stuff from the stall to you. He said you can continue to set up a stall to make money. And if you want a more regular job, that’s also fine!”
Ansel tilted his head slightly.
“A more regular job?”
He wondered, what do you mean by a more regular job?
“Our convenience store is still hiring people!” Joey said, “Because it is a large convenience store chain, usually two people work day and night shifts, and we are short of people right now!”
In fact, Joey used to work in a team with another person, but he had a good temper and was often forced to do extra work by the other party. His colleague was too complacent, thinking that he could get paid without working.
However, by chance, the store owner discovered that Joey could do the work of two people by himself.
Boss: Then why don’t I fire the other one?
That person probably never imagined that a workplace bullying incident would end with him getting fired!
The current vacancy was created because of the Demon Hunter Club. It can be said that the club is responsible for paying the salary, and the convenience store owner is also not unwilling as he himself is related to the club.
The second-class star Yun Jian, who was responsible for taking Luther back, was respectfully revered as Mr. Yun in the club. He had a cold and serious personality. Since Luther was worried about his companion’s work problems, he provided such an additional job opportunity.
Ansel: “…”
So that more regular job is…
Working at a convenience store?
The demon works part-time at the Angel convenience store?
Ah no, to be precise, it should be an angel disguised as a demon pretending to be a human working in the angel convenience store?
Nesting dolls? This is it!
(‘Nesting dolls’: an internet meme referring to copying something in a loop)
But Ansel’s main goal was to protect Joey, the holy sword discovered by him. Looking at Joey’s appearance and the performance of the Demon Hunter Club…it seems that Joey’s identity has not been discovered yet?
It makes sense, after all, Luther is already considered the holy sword.
“Well, it’s quite boring to run the stall by myself.” Ansel said, “Do you need me to interview for the job at the convenience store?”
“No, no, no, no!” Joey looked very happy. Although his one friend left, the other remained by his side, which made him feel very comforted. “This position was specially prepared for you by Luther before he left. You can just start working as soon as you want!”
So Ansel went straight to the convenience store. He first put the pile of things Luther left for him in the warehouse, and then Joey took him to get familiar with the new workplace.
Joey carefully observed his figure and measured his height. Ansel was a bit unhappy, thinking that Saros was half a head taller than him, and the holy sword was also half a head taller than him, which was outrageous. And because he didn’t wear a horn headband, he couldn’t even use the height of the horns to make himself look taller!
Damn it!
“You are shorter than me, so you need to wear a work uniform that is two sizes smaller than mine.” Joey patiently rummaged through a pile of already prepared work uniforms that had not yet been unpacked.
The work uniform of Angel Convenience Store is mainly red and white, with a fresh and simple design. It is paired with a red and white narrow-brimmed indoor hat, with a pair of small angel wings on the side.
Ansel: “…”
Give me a break!
After repeatedly confirming that there was no aperture pattern on the hat, Ansel put the hat on his head with great unease. The hat pressed down on his hair like a new headband. Ansel adjusted it a few more times, but only ended up messing up his hair.
How annoying. Seems like I need to find a way to tie my hair up tomorrow.
If it weren’t for the majesty of the Demon King, he would’ve cut off his hair long ago!
After changing his clothes, he pushed the door open and went out. Joey was already waiting for him at the cash register.
Obviously, it was the first time Joey brought a newcomer, and he felt quite excited. He carefully introduced the rules and regulations of the convenience store to Ansel.
In fact, the work at the convenience store is divided into several parts. In addition to the three main tasks – cashier, goods placement, and warehouse tallying; there is also the task of collecting goods and garbage. It is also necessary to come early every morning to collect the fresh goods that are delivered through special vehicles.
Ansel was a quick learner, integrating into any place like a river flowing into the sea, like a demon in the demon world, or like a human in the human world, which was simply outrageous. Unfortunately, Ansel was unable to become the kind of angel that was common in heaven, which was probably the main reason why he did not have a good life in heaven.
Joey went back to the warehouse to tally the goods, while Ansel was in charge of the cash register in the front, greeting customers.
Just at this moment, the electric door opened, and Ansel saw an old man with gray hair come in. He adhered to the store’s rules impeccably and greeted him.
“Welcome, how can I help you?”
Unexpectedly, the customer who came in was the gatekeeper Old Lynn, the person Ansel met when he was first teleported to the human world. Due to the huge impact of the demon taking off his horns at that time, his mind lost control and his memory was directly erased by the spiritual magic.
Right now, the Old Lynn has no memory of what happened in the park that day. This was the only convenience store nearby. He came to buy a pack of cigarettes and talk to Joey, a member of the club, about something.
As a result, he saw a new guy in the convenience store?
“Get me a pack of cigarettes.” He paid and asked casually, “Are you new here?”
“I only started working today.” Ansel replied.
Ansel saw that Old Lynn didn’t move after buying cigarettes, so he guessed that he probably came to look for someone. If he came to the convenience store to find people, he must be looking for Joey.
Joey was tallying the goods in the back, so he thought of switching jobs with Joey and took off his hat casually.
“Wait for a minute, I’ll go to the back and switch with Joey…what’s wrong with you?”
Old Lynn put his hand on his chest and breathed with difficulty.
“It’s nothing.”
For some reason, the action of taking off the horns seemed to have left a certain shadow on him, to the extent that he would be scared if saw something similar.
Ansel: “…”
Well, I don’t quite understand, so I might as well go and switch with Joey.
However, the voices from the front still reached the ears of His Majesty the Demon King in the warehouse without any hindrance. After all, Ansel’s hearing is too sensitive.
“Due to the presence of the holy sword in this area, demons have begun to gather here. Although the holy sword has already been transferred, the impact will still last for a few days.”
Joey said he understood and asked a few questions worriedly. Old Lynn shook his head while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
“You have a special physique, and low level demons hardly dare to approach you. Most of the demons gathered this time are of this kind.”
So it turns out that a large number of believer-level monsters have been attracted to this place…
Ansel listened while picking up the mop behind the door, aiming it at an empty cargo box and poking it to the bottom!
This news is indeed true!
After brutally stabbing the monster to death, Ansel lit a fire and burned it clean. He also searched the entire warehouse, pulling out two more from the vents, two from under the floor, and two from the cardboard box, all of which he ruthlessly killed with a mop!
The real Demon King can even kill enemies with a mop!
After thoroughly dealing with the monster’s corpse to prevent its resurrection, Ansel stood in the warehouse with a mop and sighed deeply.
For some reason, he felt that his job at the convenience store…
It will be quite exciting.
He took a photo of the mop he used to kill the enemy and sent it to Saros.
Saros on the other end: “…”
He was glad that Ansel shared his daily life with him, but it would be great if the things he shared were not so strange.
After killing all the so-called “demons” in the Secret Council, the entire Secret Council has already bowed to His Majesty the Demon King. With the manpower and resources at his disposal, Saros’ skills as a demon king can be fully utilized.
Of course, he does not deny that Ansel’s ideas are also quite interesting.
His fingertips brushed over a stack of documents. The upper right corner of the documents was printed with wheat ears and stars, which belonged to only one organization in the human world. They are very secretive, inaccessible, self-disciplined and powerful. Their seemingly mixed armed forces have already killed most of the monsters in the human world.
——The Demon Hunter Club.
Saros sighed with emotion, this is probably the most secret and inaccessible organization in the human world, but Ansel has already grasped the key to enter it without any difficulty.
Sure enough, as long as he lets nature take its course, Ansel will always gather many like-minded friends around him and do earth-shattering things.
Just like what Ansel had done in the Eastern Region.
—— Demons gather under the wings of the white-haired Demon King, and the Demon King’s gaze always remains on victory and prosperity. With just a few hundred years of rapid development, he approached the demon kingdom passed down from generation to generation by the Asmodeus family.
This is something that can only be achieved by……
Demon King Ansel.
