After Work, I Brought Home a Devilish Beauty - Chapter 17

Seeing this, Yuichi hurriedly tried to explain:

“Lucifer, his name is Lucifer! My friend is a bit introverted, I hope the boss will understand!”

Lucifer? What a strange name.

Could it be… a foreigner?

Perhaps feeling that the obese man’s gaze was a bit too unrestrained, Lucifer frowned in displeasure, then decisively glared back, which immediately intimidated the obese man.

Realizing he couldn’t meet his gaze, the obese man reluctantly looked away.

It’s strange, really. I’ve been in the workforce for years, yet now I’m being overshadowed by someone who looks quite young. It feels… a bit unreal.

“Ah… Lucifer, right! Since Yuichi brought him along, you can work for him!”

The obese man raised his voice loudly in an attempt to mask his fear.

As an observer, Yuichi naturally knew nothing.

For Lucifer’s sake, Yuichi even asked the boss:

“And what about his salary? How much can he offer?”

“The salary will definitely be… half of yours!”

The obese man was about to say something, but for some reason he suddenly changed his mind.

What he said was something Lucifer absolutely could not accept.

Half the salary! That’s way too little!

Although Lucifer didn’t know exactly how much Yuichi’s salary was, he felt inexplicably angry when he heard it was half (his abilities were actually weaker than this human’s). He then walked up to the fat man with a blank expression.

Seeing this, the obese man swallowed nervously and asked:

“What… what do you want? I’m your boss!”

…Oh no, I have a bad feeling. But it was too late for Yuichi to stop it!

Suddenly, Lucifer angrily grabbed the fat man by the collar and shouted:

“Hey, you foolish humans, raise my salary a bit!”

We’re doomed!

Yuichi covered his eyes, unable to imagine what would happen next.

“I’m so sorry, I’m really sorry! I brought this person here, so punish me instead…”

He even prepared for the worst, that he would get a severe scolding from his boss and be fired.

But… a long time passed, and I still didn’t hear the boss’s angry shouts.

The room seemed to have become quiet.

He opened his eyes out of curiosity, only to see this scene the next second.

The boss was so frightened that he fainted and collapsed to the ground unconscious. Lucifer was left standing there, stunned.

“I didn’t expect her to faint so quickly… Pshaw, humans are just humans, their mental abilities are so weak.”

…How could they say that!

“Hey, look what you’ve done! How am I going to explain this to the boss afterwards?!”

Yuichi finally couldn’t hold back any longer and roared loudly, but Lucifer was not to be outdone.

“All I want is for him to give me a raise! Do you have a problem with that?!”

A raise! There’s no need to use this attitude when asking for a raise!

At least show one-tenth of the attitude you have for Chiba!

That’s enough.

Yuichi rubbed his forehead, his expression turning tearful. He no longer knew what to do next.

Perhaps, the decision to bring Lucifer along to work was a mistake in itself.

“After the boss wakes up, apologize to him properly, and then go buy some gifts to comfort him. That’s all you can do…”

However, despite Yuichi’s kind advice, Lucifer not only reflected on his mistakes but also refused without hesitation.

“impossible.”

“Why?!”

Yuichi was on the verge of a complete emotional breakdown.

“Don’t worry. He’s been hypnotized and has admitted to asking for a raise. It’s just… he’s a bit weak; I didn’t expect him to collapse so quickly…”

After listening to Lucifer’s explanation, Yuichi felt both annoyed and amused.

“Since you have such amazing abilities, why were you arrested by the police?”

However, Lucifer gave a serious answer to this:

“My magic is certainly not unlimited; I only use it when necessary.”

“Oh… I see. So magic power isn’t unlimited. That’s a bit of a shame.”

“What’s a pity?”

“No…no! Please forget what I just said. It’s getting late, let’s go out and get to work.”

The two chatted casually as they swaggered out of the boss’s room.
