Chapter 209 – Mephistopheles, Overlord of Hell

Hell is currently divided into 3 realms by the 3 Prime Demons.

And each realm has a distinctly different personality depending on who the ruling monarch is.

For example, the territory of Baal Zebul, who was the commander of the first demon Lucifer, is like a despotic state based on strict hierarchical order and military discipline, and the territory of Asmodeus, the prodigal lord of cunning schemes, plots and assassinations where even the demons under his command do not trust each other. It is a hell of pleasure made up of

On the other hand, Mephisto’s territory is so peaceful that it is difficult to believe that it is hell if someone sees it for the first time.
Hell, where the number of demons dying every day is less than five digits.

“Geu geu geu geu geu geu geuh…!! Again, border crossing! Which ones are they this time!”
“Yes, it appears to be a scouting party sent from Baelzebub’s territory to scout this way, Satanachia. They are the only lunatics who refuse to be captured and choose to commit suicide.”
“Shit! This guy, that guy, and we are funny!”

However, that heaven-like hell was more hell than any other place to someone.
It was the same with Satanachia, one of Mephisto’s 12 vassals and the great king of the goats, the Great Demon.

“I told you to be careful because the northwest border is where Baelzebub is targeting! What kind of madman failed his mission his!”
“The northwest…Was the territory of Grand General Lava. Not Satanachia.”
“Damn it! A successor hasn’t come yet!”
“Instead of taking care of the borders, the territory is about to be destroyed due to the civil war between the second and third people…”
“Aagh! Shit! Am I the only one here who truly works?! Are they all idiots worse than imps!”

As the horns on the goat’s head lit up, the devil who was assisting Satanachia turned pale as if he was frightened.
It was because this demon in front of him was not a mere great devil or twelve vassals, but a person who was no different from Mephisto-kun’s unofficial second-in-command.

Mephisto’s territory is peaceful. But being peaceful in this hell doesn’t mean well. In particular, if Mephisto’s territory is the most prosperous and well-positioned in Hell, it is bound to be exposed to the blatant desires of other demons.

Even so, the reason why Mephisto’s territory is maintained is because everyone tacitly knew that Mephisto was the most powerful of the three monarchs.
Although he is currently indolent and does not come out of the castle, not many demons were fearless to face the overlord, who proved his strength by smashing Lucifer’s head with his own hands in the last great war.

The problem is Mephisto’s boredom. Establishing his own realm his, Mephisto gave all the powers of his own monarch to twelve vassal families. And he ordered them.

– “I need to rest for a bit now, so you guys will take care of the rest. Don’t bother me.” –

After a few idiots started a civil war and were decapitated, the twelve families knew what to do. As long as Mephisto keeps trouble from happening, he just needs to live like a king in their territory.

However, among them, someone has to take the baton and draw a big picture. Satanachia, the king of the goats, who was one of the heads of the 12 vassals, replaced Mephisto, who had fallen into indolence, and was in charge of commanding the entire territory of hers. Became a ruler

It was good at first. If she didn’t go against Mephisto’s eyes, wouldn’t she be able to control 1/3 of Hell at will?
At most, if I can get a place as the de facto ruler of hell with a few errands and courtesies, I’ll be able to put my own soul on the scales!

However, hundreds of years of endless overwork and overwork were enough to change Satanachia’s mind.

If I was dealing with the two devils endlessly aiming for Mephisto’s territory and the internal problems alone, I would always have to suffer from headaches that seemed like my head would explode.

“Is Mephisto-sama still looking at that nonsensical marble? What is my request to determine the successor of Grand General Lava?”
“…Rather, the guards and attendants who guarded the castle were said to have been bitten. He doesn’t even pay attention to business papers.”
“What? Guards and servants? Then who the hell is guarding the palace!”
“That, that. A friend is coming, so he wants to meet him in person, and he ordered everyone to leave…”
“Friend?! Mephisto-sama, where the hell is your friend! Even though I’ve seen demons like angels in my entire life, I’ve never seen Mephisto-sama’s friends!”
“Even if you tell me that… “

Seeing the secretary’s troubled expression, her stomach burned, and Satanachia gulped down the liquid headache medicine lying next to her like alcohol.

‘Damn it, I should have passed this position on to Genie, not me…!’

Now he wanted to pass this position on to someone, but no one wanted to accept it because he had watched his asceticism from the sidelines.
He knows too. Now, the only way to free yourself from overwork is for Mephisto to get out of boredom, but that is close to an impossible miracle.

“Sir Satanachia! Not Satanachia!”

At that time, a messenger demon knocked on the window of Satanachia’s office and called urgently.

“What! Who else has invaded our borders?”
“That’s not it! Mephistopheles has called Satanachia! I am ordering you to come quickly to the palace right now!”
“…Me, Mephisto-sama?”

Satanachia was so started that her pupils changed from round to rectangular. It was the first time Mephisto had ever found himself since he had sworn allegiance to her and been given her title.

“Is that true?! Mephisto, who didn’t say anything even when I went to the brink of an all-out war with Baelzebub’s army, found me?”
“Yes! I doubted my ears too, but it’s true! Because I received an order directly from Lord Mephistopheles!”
“Oh, no! A wagon right now, no! No wagon required! I will teleport myself to the palace!”

While feeling embarrassed, Satanachia was trembling with joy that she had been boiling for the first time in a long time.
Finally! Mephisto-sama must have escaped from indolence!

‘You finally heard my request! Now I’m going to take the baton of the army and show the other lords that power!’

There is no need to show all your strength, just with the action of Mephisto-sama moving his buttocks his, other hells will not dare to cross this land.
Satanachia dared to blasphemously even call out the name of the goddess, thanking someone for this miracle.

Satanachia recalled the feeling of happiness for the first time in hundreds of years since she was given the seat of second-in-command.

*

“Now… What did you say? Mephisto?”

And that happiness didn’t last long. It was because she was helplessly scattered like an illusion like a mirage.

“Did you not hear? Now you have to serve Jim’s friend, so make sure you have the best delicacies! Sing 100 musicians and 100 dancers each!”
“No, I don’t need music and dancers. I hate being noisy while eating.”
“Okay? Okay! Did you hear They say there is no need for music bands and dancers, so bring only the best delicacies quickly!”

The first emotion Satanachia tasted was anger. Did he call himself through a hotline that hadn’t been used since it was installed to order such menial things?

“Uh-wouldn’t it be okay to call another attendant instead of me… ?”
“Aren’t you the most competent among Jim’s people! You can’t play in the hands of an incompetent person when it comes to hospitality to Jim’s friend.”

Competent, the corners of his mouth rose slightly at the word, but Satanachia had no choice but to reflect on shame and surprise, followed by anger.

“A friend… Do you dare to speak of the person sitting on Mephisto-sama’s throne in disrespect? Mephisto?”
“… As expected, sitting here was strange, wasn’t it? I didn’t even think about it.”
“How rude and disrespectful! What a habit of talking to Jim’s only friend! Had it not been for your long-standing loyalty, I would have hung that head in front of the city gates, Satanachia!”

Normally, I would have been frightened by those words. If the great overlord of hell had n’t been fooling around in the arms of a man seated on his throne.

My understanding couldn’t keep up with the situation.
Who is that person who suddenly appeared? Why does he speak sternly to himself and speak plainly to humans? And who is that human woman standing next to her with a puzzled look on her face her?

“Hey, I’ll prepare the meal for now. However, Mephisto-sama, with my lack of knowledge, I can’t understand what the situation is like… Who the hell is that guy?”
“Didn’t you tell me! This is Jim’s friend Artin Ludwig.”
“No, it’s not the name, but where and why did you come here… “
“I personally invited Jim, do you need a reason to invite my friend to my palace?”

Of course it was necessary. Is it not enough that a fearless being dared to set foot in Mephisto’s palace, and sit on the throne that only the solemn ruler of this land can sit on?

“If you don’t understand, let me tell you, Artin Ludwig is Jim’s friend and valued guest, and all of Jim’s household will treat Artin the same way. Do you understand?”
“Me, like Mephisto-sama… ?”
“Yes, Artin’s words are my words, and Artin’s will is my will.”

Satanachia almost became the first demon to die of high blood pressure at this moment. The meaning of that word simply doesn’t mean that person is an honored guest.

‘Aren’t those words the same as saying that we will recognize that human as the second-in-command of Mephisto’s army? Aside from me, who had been loyal for hundreds of years, to that human being…?’

Pudeuk, I grinded my teeth. It shouldn’t be like this. It’s not enough that he killed Grand General Lava on a whim, so now he has to take away even his authority his? Even for humans?

“Bring the meal quickly, you will have to serve it with all your might, Satanachia!”
“…Yes. Mephisto.”

However, it was clear that he would die like General Lava if he rebelled here.
Satanachia, barely suppressing his emotions of her, had to back away trembling, lowering his head.

Even though he was only watching, Artin, who felt the anger vividly, looked at Mephisto in his arms with a troubled expression.

“Hehe, Artin! What do you want to do next? Swimming in the lake of gold and silver treasure? Enjoy Ju Ji-Yuk-Rim? Or do you want to enjoy pleasure unimaginable in the human world?”
“… Um, how about just having a normal conversation? Since we haven’t seen each other in a while, we talk about the old days, talk about contracts…”
“Okay! Do you have a bedroom prepared for you? You will definitely like it! Are you going to sleep? Right?”
“… That, then. Since we haven’t seen each other in a while, we can stay for one night.”

At Mephisto’s lively voice her, Artin laughed awkwardly and followed her words her. Karen looked at Artin with her worried eyes, but what could she do?

‘Until the contract, I have to match Mephisto’s mood as much as possible. It ‘ll be a big deal if I lose her liking her for nothing.

The strategy Artin prepared for her contract was to make Mephisto feel better as much as possible.

Actually, she was n’t such a childish personality in the past, so I thought she’d feel better after a few pranks on her, but…

‘I wonder if this is too much of a favor…’

In fact, the word favor was meaningless. Isn’t Mephisto apparently liking himself? Even now, she is acting childishly on herself, pressing down on her large breasts that do not suit her size her.

“If you’re going to sleep, it’s good to wash in the large communal bath! Originally, it was boiled with sulfur, but I changed it to water specially for Artin so that humans can enter! Let’s wash together, okay?”
“…Ugh, ugh. Okay.”

Even when things worked out, they worked out too well. Except that she hadn’t even brought up a proper contract with Mephisto yet.

“I’m sure you’ll like it, Artin. It’s said that if you eat the food from hell, it’s so delicious that you won’t want to go back to the human world!”
“Isn’t that the story of a girl who, from what I remember, was forcibly married to a devil in Hell? It’s not that she doesn’t want to go back, it’s that she couldn’t go back…”
“You are going to eat it. Right?”
“…Of course you have to eat! Yes! It is expected. Isn’t that the dinner Mephisto prepared?”
“Hehe! Right? You can look forward to it!”

However, I couldn’t carelessly change the subject.
It was because I saw Mephisto’s eyes go cold in real time when he talked about something that was out of the topic he wanted to talk about, or when he showed his intention to sign a contract quickly.

‘… You’re not going to ask me to sleep with you after this, right? Oh no way.’

He felt uneasiness for no reason, but Artin tried to shake off his anxiety by feeling the touch of Mephisto’s voluptuous breasts on her. There are still gifts and plans prepared, so there is nothing to worry about.

…Maybe.
