Side Story Chapter 63 - Demon King's Day

Light entered the room from between the thick curtains.

"Mmm."

Kang-Woo tossed and turned on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.

'What time is it?'

He barely slept because Han Seol-Ah and Lilith had been on him all night.

"I slept for... about two hours."

Kang-Woo stretched on the bed after checking the clock. It was nowhere near enough sleep for a normal person to function throughout the day but more than enough for him, who merely used sleep for mental fatigue recovery.

Half a month passed since Seol-Ah and Lilith fervently helped Kang-Woo push out the Light of Akart in his system. He had been busy for a few days after he woke up but soon went back to his regular peaceful days.

'Though I don't know if I can call my days peaceful lately.'

Kang-Woo smiled bitterly. He was spending his days doing nothing at home and playing with his lovers whenever he had time. His heart felt heavy since he felt like he had become a gigolo or something similar.

'Why did my life turn out this way?'

"Well, at least..."

Kang-Woo looked down in satisfaction. He could feel Fran?ois, having arisen in the sunlight like a sunflower.

"He... hehehe."

He couldn't help but laugh. Fran?ois, who had shriveled up once the body reconstruction commenced, had somewhat returned to its former glory. It was smaller than what it once was but its current size was acceptable.

Kang-Woo himself had grown as well. Not only had he grown taller but he gained some muscles as well, looking more like a teenager than a child.

'I've gotten a lot stronger too.'

Kang-Woo was strong enough to face Balrog without relying on his immortality now. His life must have been endangered significantly during his ten days of unconsciousness. The Light of Akart also ended up being of help in stimulating the Demonic Sea as well.

'Although Seol-Ah and Lilith cling to me more than before because of it.'

However, he did not dislike spending time with his lovers since they were both bombshells.

"Kang-Woo? Did you wake up just now?" asked Seol-Ah as she entered the room and into the bed with a smile.

"Yeah," Kang-Woo said gently and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hehe. Kang-Woo~"

"My, is there nothing for me?" asked Lilith who followed behind Seol-Ah as she giggled.

"C'mere."

Kang-Woo kissed Lilith's cheek as well and chatted with them for a bit.

'Wait, I shouldn't be doing this.'

He couldn't spend his days lazing around at home all day.

"I should be getting out of bed."

"Hmm. You can stay in bed for a bit longer, you know?" Lilith suggested.

Kang-Woo was slightly tempted but unfurled the blanket and got out of bed.

"I have work to do. Besides, Echidna is gonna wake up soon and ask for food."

Seol-Ah also got out of bed and answered, "In that case, I'll make us something right away. It'll only take a few minutes."

"Okay," answered Kang-Woo as he folded the blanket and opened the window to air out the room.

The cool autumn wind pushed out the moist air in the room.

Clack.

Kang-Woo came out of the room.

"Hm! Good morning, Kang-Woo!"

Echidna, who had been gaming on the couch, trotted toward him. Kang-Woo caught Echidna as she jumped toward him and smiled.

"Morning. When did you get up?"

"An hour ago!"

"Come to think of it, are you resuming your idol work anytime soon?"

"Mm. The agency contacted me to schedule a return date."

"That's good."

It was good to have something to do in life.

"Seol-Ah! I'm hungry!" Echidna shouted.

"Hoho. I'll make you lunch, so wait just a bit. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"Pork cutlet!"

"Mm, then I guess we're having pork cutlet and kimchi stew today."

Kimchi stew was a regular item on the Kang-Woo household menu.

"Then let's play games while we wait, Kang-Woo!"

"Okay, okay."

Echidna dragged Kang-Woo to the couch by his arm.

No one knew where the Titan was hiding or what he was doing. Kang-Woo did not like that he was being forced to be passive, but there was no other way at the moment.

"It's okay. If his goal is to end the world, he's bound to show himself sooner or later."

Once that day came, Kang-Woo would devour him as much as he liked.

"I'm sorry, my king. I wanted to be of more help..." Lilith lowered her head in sorrow.

Kang-Woo smirked and hugged Lilith. "You're already helping more than enough. Akart isn't the only thing we should be worrying about, is it?"

Akart was merely the enemy they needed to be on alert the most for; they couldn't ignore all the other otherworldly invasions. Lilith was investigating every otherworldly invasion occurring throughout the world, big or small, and giving Kang-Woo reports on them.

'We could never respond to the otherworldly invasions this quickly if not for Lilith.'

Thanks to the information network she set up with the help of Guardians, they could dispatch the right forces for the job to promptly deal with the abnormal phenomena.

"Haaa... Jeez, please don't say things like that. You're making me embarrassed ❤"

"What? What did I say?"

"Fufu. Anyway, I'm off to have a short meeting with Layla."

"Okay."

Kang-Woo waved at Lilith after receiving the documents.

'There isn't anything particularly out of the ordinary.'

Kang-Woo got out of the chair and stretched after reading through today's report.

"Right, I might as well let loose too."

He called Balrog and Kim Si-Hun and headed down to the underground training room where Seol-Ah was training. He needed to train consistently to get used to the demonic energy of the Abyss, of which the amount available to him had dramatically increased after his growth.

***

Kang-Woo came back home with Seol-Ah after training with Balrog and Si-Hun until evening.

"Welcome back," Yeon-Joo said.

"Thanks. You're clocked out already?"

"What do you mean, already? It's past eight. Of course, I'd be off."

"You didn't get off work and leave your employees working overtime, did you?"

"Our employees rarely work overtime."

"Bullshit, they were practically living there."

"Those were special circumstances!"

As Kang-Woo was chatting with Yeon-Joo, he and Seol-Ah brought the groceries they bought before coming home into the kitchen. They were carrying an enormous amount since Kang-Woo ate quite a lot.

"You can get some rest, Kang-Woo. I'll have dinner ready in a flash," Seol-Ah remarked.

"Anything you need help with?" he asked.

"I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"Hehe. Cooking for you is one of my joys in life, Kang-Woo."

Kang-Woo groaned after his assistance was firmly declined by Seol-Ah. He nodded and sat on the couch.

"Hey, Oh Kang-Woo. What game are you playing with Echidna these days?"

"I think it was Monster something. Wanna play with us?"

"Hm! I bought another controller just for you, Yeon-Joo!"

"Whoa."

"I even bought another TV so we can play together!"

"Dayum, for real?"

Buying another TV solely to game with more people... tell me you're rich without telling me you're rich.

"How much was it? I'll pay for it."

"Hm! I'm the unnie, so it's my gift to you!"

"What?"

"Come back with bigger breasts if you wanna pay me!"

"The fuck you say, brat?"

The three of them gamed boisterously in the living room. Lilith, who was helping Seol-Ah set the table, giggled.

"Having Yeon-Joo here sure makes the atmosphere more lively."

"I want to play games with Kang-Woo too..." Seol-Ah mumbled.

"Then why don't you?"

"Nghh. My mind freezes up for some reason whenever I play games, so I'm not very good."

"I also tried it last time, but I had no idea what to do. Human culture sure is difficult."

"I'm human too..."

"Oh? You're a fallen angel now, aren't you?"

Lilith and Seol-Ah smiled gently as they watched the three people gaming as they trash-talked each other. And with that, another day passed.
