The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"Aha……"

In the early morning, Gray woke up and yawned heavily.

He slept soundly without being disturbed by anyone; the pink-haired succubus was still somewhat sensible and didn't exploit him to the point of exhaustion.

It's great that no one launched a night raid after the mission was over.

Gray wasn't worried about whether the operation would go smoothly. With White Scale as a backup, even if all the bishops, big and small, of the Demon Order came, there wouldn't be any problems.

After a night's rest, Gray could feel his kidneys again.

It's so wonderful that it can heal overnight with its strong recovery ability...

No, that wouldn't be good. If I recover, that pink-haired succubus will be eyeing me again, not to mention the others...

The others were actually fine, it was mainly Kappa who was just too...

Gray admitted that he had some PTSD about the pink-haired succubus.

Go and see the results of their actions.

Gray stepped out of the room. The other rooms were empty except for a nocturnal blonde vampire fast asleep and a white-scaled vampire struggling to consolidate her power.

Bai Lin is quite diligent; he may not be far from fulfilling the agreement.

Hopefully, this dragon girl won't be a natural juice extractor like the pink-haired succubus.

Gray had no intention of disturbing Shirarin and quickly crossed the bedroom area to reach the president's office.

Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by Gamma.

"Lord Shadow, you're awake. Good morning."

Gamma, as the president of the Grand Chamber of Commerce, is always very busy with a lot of things to handle. Gamma is currently reading papers, but he still doesn't forget to send his greetings to Gray.

"You've worked hard." This was not just a polite greeting; it contained Gray's admiration for the diligent Gamma.

He absolutely couldn't handle this kind of tedious paperwork; he'd get bored with it after a while.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary office worker with nothing outstanding about him. He liked action novels and anime, and then there was his career as a Shadow Warrior.

My life in my previous life wasn't particularly remarkable, but after being reborn into another world, life finally became a bit more enjoyable.

This world.

My name is Grey Brant, and I'm 20 years old. I live in the Brant Mansion within the Azure Peak Territory, and I'm unmarried. I'm the leader of the Shadow Court, and I'm usually home late... well, not really. I don't smoke, but I drink occasionally. My sleep schedule is irregular, and I can't guarantee a consistent amount of sleep. Before bed, I drink a cup of warm milk, do twenty minutes of stretching to warm up, and then go to sleep, usually sleeping soundly until dawn. (If I sleep) I wake up like a baby, without any fatigue or stress, and greet the next morning. My health check results also show that I'm perfectly healthy. I want to emphasize that I'm someone who always strives for inner peace, not fixated on winning or losing, not dwelling on worries, and not creating enemies that would keep me up at night. This is my attitude towards life in this other world, and I know that's my happiness. Besides, even if it comes to fighting, I won't lose to anyone.

"What about Alpha?" That was Gray's real question.

Although Gamma hoped to talk a little longer, he honestly replied, "In the hall, and so are the others."

“Thank you.” Gray waved to Gamma and turned to leave.

"Wait, Lord Shadow Demon..."

When the door opened, Gray heard Gamma's voice, barely audible. It was probably too shy to speak, which was why it was so soft. But Gray's hearing was excellent, so there was no possibility that it was too loud.

"What's wrong?" Gray turned around and looked at him.

Although the sound was still faint, Gamma bravely went up to attack.

"Lord Shadow Demon, could you set a time for an appointment with me?"

Upon hearing this, Gray was no longer in a hurry to leave. He gave Gamma a deep look and said, "Sure, let's set it after we've wiped out the greed and avarice faction, when we're both free."

I'm leaving. "

After saying that, he closed the door and left.

It's done!

The moment Gray closed the door, Gamma danced with excitement, a stark contrast to her earlier shy, blushing appearance.

After eliminating the faction driven by greed and avarice, both sides will have some free time.

However, since I don't know when Lord Shadow will be available, I'll make sure I'm always "OK" and available whenever Lord Shadow has time.

Where to go on a date? Still shopping at the Grand Merchant Guild? Won't Lord Shadow get tired of it? The boss lady invited Lord Shadow on a date in the Merchant Guild Street…

No, before considering these things, we must first take care of the trivial matters, namely these paperwork...

Gamma looked at the mountain of books on the table, but his enthusiasm remained undiminished.

Once these are dealt with, there will be more to come...

Gamma, in full-on work mode, personally handled most matters and didn't think a small mountain of paperwork would be too much.

Gamma took a step toward the small hill, stumbled, and fell to the ground. This time, Gray was not there to catch her in time.

The concept of falling flat on the ground is divine, and the performance is consistently excellent!

It didn't hurt, but it didn't really. As a Gamma of Gray's family, she was tough and thick-skinned, so a few falls were nothing.

Gamma checked her ankle and was relieved to find that she hadn't sprained it. Although she often fell on flat ground, she hadn't sprained her ankle much.

"Seriously, high heels are so hard to wear..."

He complained, but his actions betrayed his true intentions; he was still trying to make a better impression on Gray.

She brought this trouble upon herself; she can't blame anyone else.

"Get this done quickly..."

……

Gray paused in front of the hall.

Because he thought of something.

Gamma said the others were there too, so Capa must have been there as well...

We have to be prepared beforehand. Once she goes in, this girl will pounce on him and forcefully kiss him in a series of moves that will be incredibly smooth. Gray can't just rudely push her away, can he?

Gray quickly came up with a solution.

He took a deep breath and walked into the hall.

"Lord...Shadow...!?"

As expected, Gray's figure was detected by the pink-haired succubus's automatic target lock as soon as he appeared.

While calling out in a charming voice, her delicate body lunged forward.

Gray had a tactic for dealing with this: "using someone else to do the dirty work."

He couldn't do anything about this guy, but someone else could.

"Alpha, stop him."

Gray's commands were transmitted directly to Alpha's brain via telepathy. If the commands were given normally, Alpha wouldn't be able to react in time, and by the time they were already hugging, kissing, and making out, Alpha would barely be able to make a move.

However, Gray was overthinking it. Alpha, who hadn't even tasted the flavor yet, certainly couldn't tolerate Kappa's audacity. The reason he hadn't stopped them earlier was because he was afraid that Gray and Kappa's intimacy would be mutual. If that were the case, they would be tactless and hinder Lord Shadow's wishes.

But Alpha, having received the blocking command, doesn't need to worry about these things.

This is Lord Shadow's order, a royal decree!

Bold Kappa, take it straight!
