Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ (Side Story) Demon King Nibaniba ]

“ hmm? What is this?”

While Soshinhan was cleaning Lily’s room – no one had asked him to, but he was naturally doing it on his own – he discovered an item in the closet that he had never seen before.

“Toe rabbit?”

It was a large rabbit doll mask.

It was about 150cm tall and had a large red ribbon tied around its neck.

Except for the droopy ears, the fur was soft and of vivid quality. At first, I thought it was a living beast, but when I looked closer, it was a doll mask worn by a person.

‘Are these clothes for cosplay?’

It was when Soshinhan tilted his head and stared at the doll mask.

“oh! “You shouldn’t look at that!”

Lily, who came back from school, hurriedly ran over and closed the closet.

“Mr. So! “What if he comes into my room at will?”

As Lily glared, Soshinhan sighed and looked around the room.

“If you’re not going to let them in, why don’t you just lock it and leave. “It’s so messy that I can’t just pass by.”

Lily’s room was littered with traces of snacks, toys, clothes, etc.

It is a polluted area that cannot be ignored by small-minded people who cannot see the filth.

So, I cleaned it up little by little, and before I knew it, cleaning Lily’s room became a daily routine.

“I was going to clean it up when I got home from school…”

Soshinhan held out the vacuum cleaner to Lily, who was avoiding his gaze as if she knew her room was messy.

“Then we can clean it up now, right?”

“It’s annoying…”

While saying that, Lily calmly took the vacuum cleaner and ran it.

So Xinhan watched for a moment to see if Lily was cleaning thoroughly, then remembered the rabbit suit in the closet and asked.

“But what is that bunny suit from earlier?”

“Oh, that? “That’s…”

Lily thought for a moment about whether she could say it, but eventually opened the closet.

Because Uncle So is both a member of the restaurant family and also a student of Uncle So (although he will never admit it).

So, maybe you can tell me a little bit.

“I took it out to wear it today.”

“…Where are you going wearing that? Are you having a cosplay party?”

So Xinhan looked at Lily and the rabbit suit alternately with a very worried expression.

When I looked closely, I saw a tag saying [Nibaniba] next to the ribbon on the doll’s neck.

The fur was fluffy, as if it had been brought back from a dry cleaner some time ago.

“It’s not a party, it’s a regular meeting.”

“…What meeting?”

Lily, who checked the time as Soshinhan’s expression subtly changed, exclaimed in surprise.

“Oh, I’m going to be late!”

Lily finished cleaning her room and took out a bunny suit from the closet.

“Please help me get dressed!”

Lily unzipped the back of her bunny suit and curled herself into it.

Perhaps because I had grown taller, I felt more stuffy inside than before.

[Please zip up my back!]

“Oh, wait a minute.”

When Soshinhan pulled the zipper on the back all the way up, the trace disappeared like magic and the doll mask itself became even more vibrant.

Upright.

The two ears that had been drooping rose up into the sky.

The Demon World Rabbit, whose eyes had returned to life, placed both hands on her hips and raised her short neck.

[Voila! how is it? Do I look charismatic?]

“…I guess it depends on what you think.”

The big eyes looking at him were so full of anticipation that Soshinhan couldn’t bear to speak honestly.

[oh! I’m going to be late! I’m going to be late!]

Lily, dressed in a rabbit suit, waddled to the backyard.

These days, many acquaintances come and go to the restaurant frequently due to the Red Finger incident, so Daein has set a rule that the gate can only be opened from the backyard.

-Jeeeeee!

Jump!

As soon as the gate opened, Lily jumped inside.

[I’ll be back!]

Soshinhan shouted behind him.

“Lily! “If the boss finds me, can I tell him where I went?”

Beyond the shrinking gate, Lily looked back and waved her short arms.

[Say you went to the demon world!]

The gate was immediately closed, but Soshinhan stood there as if he was nailed to the spot.

It was because of the place Lily mentioned just now.

Soshinhan’s wide-open eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.

“Demon demon world?!”

After the war between the Allied Dimensions and the Demon World, the gate to the Demon World was tightly controlled by the WH Group.

To people, the Demon World was known as the land of the dead.

Because it is a place where you cannot return alive if you step carelessly, even famous guilds and adepts were reluctant to go there, even if requests occasionally arose.

Just now, Lily said, “I’m going to hang out at my friend’s house!” It was said in the same tone.

“…You probably heard it wrong, right? okay. “You must have misheard.”

Even though Lily is not an ordinary child and the boss is a retired member of a gang, it doesn’t matter…

‘It doesn’t make sense to go to the Demon World wearing a rabbit cosplay to have fun.’

Soshinhan shook his head and decided to finish cleaning.

After a while, Daein and Lilith, who often leave the restaurant together these days, returned to the store.

Daein, who was looking around the store, asked Sosinhan.

“Mr. Shinhan. “Have you seen the little boy?”

“Ah, Lily was earlier…”

Just as Soshinhan was about to say, “I guess she went to her friend’s house to hang out,” Daein nodded after looking at the calendar in the store.

“Ah, today is the day to go to the Demon World.”

“!!”

On the calendar, today’s date was written in a large circle and it said [Good Demon World Campaign Day!].

Lilith looked at it and asked Daein.

“Good Demon World Campaign? “Do they do things like that here?”

“Approximately once a month?”

“What are you doing there?”

“I don’t know either. From what I heard…” So

Shin-han smiled as he watched the two people calmly continuing their conversation.

‘Let’s finish the cleaning we were doing.’

***

Nibaniba Castle, the capital of the God Demon World.

High-ranking demons leading the divine demon world lay prostrate in the remodeled former demon castle of Baal.

“…….”

In the direction where the demons were lying down, there was a huge throne.

The only throne in the divine demon world.

Even though the promised time had passed, none of the demons with their heads down were holding their breath without showing any dissatisfaction.

Even if the king did not come, they were willing to wait for days without saying a word.

-Jeeeeee!

Fortunately, the gate opened and the King of the Demon World walked out with a dignified appearance.

[Ahem!]

A chubby body and two long, erect ears.

Nibaniva stretched the red ribbon around his neck a few times and sat down on the throne.

At that moment

[I see the king!]

– Boom!

Berit, the second-in-command of the God Demon World, hit the floor with his forehead and shouted.

Other high-ranking demons followed him and hit the floor with their foreheads as a group.

[[[See the King!]]]

Lily thought as she listened to the voices of the demons echoing loudly in the Great Hall.

‘My forehead must hurt…’

But I didn’t show it on the outside.

The first rule I learned from my uncle.

The nicer a person is, the more serious he or she should be.

Because then you can do more good deeds!

[Ahem! It’s been a long time, everyone!]

There was no dignity in that lively voice, but instead, he spoke with so much magical power that the entire Daejeon trembled.

-Kugugugugugung…!

The complexions of the high-ranking demons turned pale and their bodies trembled due to Nibaniba’s formidable magical power.

‘What magical power!’

‘Indeed, the one who stepped on Baal’s corpse and became king!’

‘In front of the king, we are no better than insects…’

Nibaniva said, pricking up his ears towards the demons who bowed their heads even more in front of their overwhelming power.

[Then, let’s begin the regular meeting.]

[We obey the king’s will!]

Berit stood up and began the briefing.

He reported on the big and small events that occurred in the demon world over the past month and also talked about the national industry currently in progress.

[Currently, underground resource extraction in the Demon World is progressing smoothly.]

The environment of the Demon World was famous for being barren and difficult for life to survive.

In this barren environment, the creatures of the demon world have evolved to kill and kill each other so that only the strong survive.

[…Although a small number of fundamentalists are still opposed, most demons are getting used to the new system.] However, as it has been revealed that the demon world is

rich in underground and natural resources, the demon world is entering a new phase. welcomed.

[Trade with other dimensions is carried out through WH Group. However, there is still a lot of antipathy towards us from other dimensions…]

[You don’t have to worry about that. Younghee… I’m close with the person in charge there!]

[Oh! You are indeed a king!]

The underground and natural resources collected from the Demon World were distributed to various dimensions through the WH Group, and the ruined Demon World was being rebuilt with the money earned from it.

[Currently, construction materials and food are being imported as a top priority, and a factory is being built. However, there are some areas that require support from engineers from other dimensions…]

[You don’t have to worry, I’ll tell you about that to someone I know.] [

And indeed, you are the king! There is nothing impossible for you… How dare you say something profane about something that is so obvious! Please kill me!]

-Cow!

Nibaniva mercifully forgave Berit, who hit his head on the floor with the force of smashing his forehead.

[Ahem! Be careful in the future.]

[I’m so sorry!]

I’m not really interested, but the Demon King Nibaniva was the second richest person in the universe.

Although it doesn’t mean much to me because I live in the same house as the first rich man in the universe and receive pocket money from him.

[…This is the end of this regular report.]

Berit’s report has ended.

Other demons who waited their turn also posted reports, but there was nothing special.

[Then, if you have finished watching.]

Nibaniva jumped up from the throne.

Now that the boring meeting was over, it was time to go to the Good Demon World campaign.

Jump!

Nibaniva jumped down from the throne and walked out of the main hall and said.

[Shall we go inspect the site?]

[[Yes!]]

Dozens of high-ranking demons followed behind the waddling demon rabbit.

***

[Safety First]

The hard hats of the demons working in the mine had [Safety First] written in straight letters.

-Cow! Cough!

[Yeoongcha! [Yeoungcha!]

The demons and demonic beasts that were considered feared by the Dimensional Allied Powers had become the industrial forces of the New Demon Realm and were working hard.

It was then that the King of Demon World, who had come out to inspect, arrived at the scene.

[Wow, see you, the king!!]

The foreman demon, lying face down, looked up at the king, trembling.

The Demon King’s body was smaller and more compact than expected, but the great name he had heard so far was enough to make his heart shrink.

Demon King Nibaniba smiled brightly and said.

[Do not be afraid. I don’t hit good demons.]

[Heehee!]

Since demons are born evil by nature, it sounded like they would beat them to death if they were defeated.

[Please save me! I will live a good life from now on!]

[This guy! Can’t you report it to the king right away?]

Berit’s yelling made the work crew come to their senses and begin reporting.

[The current workload at our mine is compared to other mines…]

The foreman was stuttering as he continued speaking.

-Kwakwakwauk!

With an explosion, one side of the mine collapsed and deflagration rose.

A loud voice rang out beyond the smoke.

[Demons! Have you forgotten your instincts?]

Amid the billowing smoke, a huge demon with gray wings and blood-red horns soared up.

[We are demons! This is a race that lives by killing and stealing! What kind of demons are these people who dig the ground, eat whatever they get, and work diligently?]

Hundreds of demons were already lined up behind that gigantic demon.

They gave off a ferocious spirit, as if they were about to start a war at any moment.

[Why are they like that?]

Berit answered Nibaniba’s question with a perplexed expression.

[These are the fundamentalists I mentioned. Demons opposing the new system have united… I will go and sort it out right away.]

[No. I will go and solve it.]

[There is no need for the King to move it himself…]

Before Berit could continue speaking, Nibaniva spread his flame wings and flew towards the giant demon.

[huh? What are you again?]

The huge demon frowned at the demon rabbit blocking his path.

Isn’t this a small guy who doesn’t even reach his knees looking up with dirty eyes?

[Go back and work. If you go now, I won’t scold you.]

[…I don’t want to deal with the minnow, so get away from me.]

Then the demon rabbit tilted its head as if it was curious.

[You don’t know me? Are you a newbie?]

[If you want to die, I’ll kill you!]

-Whoa!

The arm swung by the giant demon struck the Demon Rabbit.

Because the difference in physique between the two was overwhelming, the demons who did not know the identity of the demon rabbit thought that the demon rabbit would turn into a lump of blood with a single blow.

But

[Uh huh?]

The giant demon widened its eyes when it saw that its arm was blocked by the demon rabbit’s elongated ears.

‘You’re blocking it with your ears, not even your hands!’

Even though I tried as hard as I could to push my arm away, it wouldn’t budge.

[Today’s Good Demon World campaign should be this.]

Phew.

Nibaniba sighed and turned his head – even then, the giant demon’s arm was blocked – and looked at everyone.

[Demons who don’t work! Don’t eat it!]

The magic power that exploded from within her body became intangible pressure and pressed down on the giant demon.

-Quaaaang!

The huge demon stuck on the floor wriggled for a moment and then stopped moving.

The fate of the demons lined up behind him was not much different.

-Wood! Crack!

The demon king’s magical power crushed the demons, and they were forced to their knees, writhing in pain as if their entire bodies were being crushed.

[Whoa whoa whoa whoa…!]

[Please help me…]

It was only after a few minutes that Nibaniba released the pressure he had been exerting on them.

The power to crush hundreds of demons without lifting a finger!

All the demons present at the scene knelt before the majesty of the Demon King.

Nibaniba, who was behind his back, said ahem and started giving a long speech.

[…So everyone must work hard and live a good life. Then, from now on, the Demon World will become a good land to live in, and we will be able to eat chicken in harmony. Got it?]

[[Yes!]]

Regardless of the content of the speech, all the demons bowed their heads in front of that overwhelming power and fear.

This was Demon King Nibaniva’s [Good Demon World Campaign].

[And…]

Nibaniba shook his head as he looked at the demons who were not wearing their hard hats properly.

[You must wear a safety helmet when working because it is dangerous.]

From that day on, wearing a safety helmet became a necessity, not an option, for workers in the Demon World.

***

That night.

After returning home, Lily took off her doll mask and smiled proudly.

“Phew. I did something nice today too.”
