My workplace is a nightmare.
My roommate, who works at the same company as me, is a gentle, cool-looking guy with amazing cooking skills who leaves early and comes home late. His only flaw is that he often forgets his head back at the dorm.
My coworker at the desk beside mine has ram horns and dresses like a woman, with "beautiful, fragile, cuddle me" written all over him. He makes no attempt to hide that he's the Lord of Succubi.
My partner on an out-of-town assignment has a mouth full of dirty jokes, loves drinking human blood, and only comes out at night. By his own introduction, he's a vampire prince. Thanks, I never doubted it.
That's fine.
Whether it's a ghost rider, a succubus, or a vampire, I can ignore them all as long as they don't get in my way.
But the receptionist keeps showing me his fish tail while singing to me, the CFO manifests dragon horns and tries to stuff me into his treasure vault, and the young guy in Development shyly decorates my desk with his vertebrae every day.
Me: "..."
If I don't lose my temper now, do they think I'm an idiot?
Unable to take it any longer, I stormed into the CEO's office and slapped my resignation letter right onto his face.
"I'm done!!"
The CEO slowly folded away his black wings and pulled out my employment contract: an annual salary of a million, four days on and three days off, nine to five, and full social insurance and housing fund contributions.
He pointed to a line: "Party B may not terminate this contract unilaterally. In the event of a breach, Party B must pay with their soul."
"Ha." I scoffed.
A wage slave's soul was already given to society the moment they started working. I had nothing to fear.
"Then... how about this?"
He crossed out the "million" in my annual salary and changed it to a billion.
Then he crossed out "billion" and changed it to a hundred billion.
Me: "."
--All right, boss, from today on, you're my provider! Let's send Hell's dark legions marching across the human world!!
.
Something has gone a little wrong in Hell lately.
Some of the pollution has seeped into the human world, becoming urban legends, ghost stories, and rule-based instances in human eyes.
To retrieve these anomalies, the Demon King Mammon and his subordinates have had to go undercover in the human world and start a company. To make their disguise more convincing...
They hired one human employee.
The demons and human work in pairs. The demons handle the fighting, while the human handles the talking. They must never reveal the existence of demons and cause panic in the human world.
So, at the scene of all kinds of incidents...
I start a livestream: "I've checked out this haunted house. Don't panic, it's fake after all. Someone just pulled a prank with some lighting effects."
I turn my persuasion skills up to max: "There's no ghost woman chasing you with a scythe, man. Get a grip. That's just a serial killer."
I open an image-editing app: "What do you mean, a headless ghost rider and a pitch-black dragon? Those are movie effects. AI is so advanced these days. You know what special effects are, right?"
Mammon is very pleased with the human's work, but lately he's heard some troubling rumors.
The company's logistics champion (and master of deception), who's managed to get on everyone's nerves, wants to quit?
The demon CEO revises the employment contract overnight.
He absolutely has to keep the demon company’s only human!
