Chapter 47 The Devil at Work "Love means respecting the other person's master...
Safety is the top priority when organizing events after Babirus experienced two dangerous times of enemy invasion.
Babirus ignored the professional bodyguard team. After all, there was no shortage of high-level demons and free labor here - the demon teachers.
It's a shift system, and now it's Avida and Balam's turn.
The eve of the festival was becoming increasingly lively, with bursts of laughter and joy coming from it. Avida, who had already served coffee, could only listen to such joy, feeling listless.
It was really boring for her as she couldn't participate in lively activities and there were no suspicious bad guys to catch.
Aveda was completely unmotivated.
In comparison, Balam, who was patrolling diligently to check for safety hazards, seemed a little nervous because of her leisure.
Avida looked at the untouched coffee in Balam's hand and couldn't help but persuade him.
"Relax, there's nothing to worry about, even if there's danger," Iveda said, raising her chin towards the distance, motioning to the demons next to her, then looking at the two demons who were having fun, "There are still two thirteen crowns."
Following Iveda's direction, Balam saw the two newly appointed Thirteen Crowns, Barbatos and Mephistopheles, wearing no disguise but store-bought glasses that obscured their visibility. "We can't let outsiders be responsible for the school's security," he said.
Balam had been hanging out with Iveda for so long that even if he didn't want to understand Iveda's subtext, he immediately understood it - if the sky falls, let the Thirteen Crowns hold it up first; if there is danger, let the Thirteen Crowns rush forward first.
Balam thought that Aveda was just joking and just responded casually.
"But they are not parents of students," Avida came up with a plan that she thought was great. Her look made Balam feel uneasy.
The next second, as expected, Balam's worries came true. Iveda said with an eager expression, "Catch them as suspected intruders and make them atone for their mistakes."
"That's thirteen crowns!"
Balram caught Iveda, who was about to take action immediately. Although the first half of his reason was reasonable, the second half... was a serious crime.
"If the world wants to develop, it must resist the privileged class." Aveda really wanted to capture these two demons wearing glasses that hindered recognition and let them work for her, regardless of whether it was legal or not.
According to human rules, demon kings are all working class people who have to work.
At the meeting before this year's festival, it had been repeatedly emphasized that they didn't want the Demonic Gate Agency to appear again in Babilus. While there were no external factors, the internal one was the rebellion against the Thirteen Crowns. Balam spotted a popular stall with a long line nearby, turned around, smiled, and changed the subject, "Let me treat you to some pizza over there."
"No need for you to treat me," Balam's way of changing the subject was abrupt, but effective. Iveda regained her energy. "Didn't Mr. Dali say that it would be reimbursed?"
The teachers worked overtime to ensure the safety of the festival on the eve of the festival, so of course they had to have some benefits. Although the food in the cafeteria was delicious, it lacked the special atmosphere of the student stalls.
"It doesn't include duty hours, right?"
But the student stalls didn't have receipts, let alone timestamps, and if we didn't tell Teacher Dali, he wouldn't know. Avida looked at Balram's tall but sincere appearance, and he really looked like a simple man who wouldn't take advantage of his workplace.
Forget it, it’s better not to lead him astray, in case Babirus starts using the Discipline Inspection Commission’s supervision tactics one day.
Aveda swallowed her rebuttal and said, "More cheese, thank you."
Appropriate slacking off helps improve work efficiency. Avida took Balam to occupy the best observation angle of Babirus. Looking down from here, the entire eve festival scene was in full view, and any small movements would be impossible to hide.
Teacher Balam followed Avida up here and ate pizza while slacking off because it was time for the shift change.
This leads to inevitable small talk.
"Which divisions do you think will be awarded generals this year?"
In response to Mr. Balam's question, Avida answered without hesitation, "Iruma's division."
"Magic Equipment Research Institute?" Balam put down the coffee cup with the straw and thought, "Their haunted house is indeed very popular this year."
When they passed by the haunted house just now, they saw a long line of demons. Although the expressions of the demons they had experienced were not good, it did not affect their expectant expressions.
“It would be more interesting to play the original version.”
Balam had of course heard that the Magic Equipment Research Institute was almost banned because it was too terrifying, and the teachers even made a bet on it.
"The teachers at the medical center will be very busy today." Teacher Balam's joke was logical. After all, the original painting almost affected Teacher Mao Mo of psychiatry.
"Then the complaint phone line will probably be flooded with calls."
Thinking of the strong reaction that parents might have, the two teachers completely stopped joking about this scene.
The topic could only turn to praising the students' performance. "Iruma is really amazing. He came up with the idea of a haunted house."
"He is special after all."
"You seem to think highly of Iruma." Balam asked this question, mainly because Avida had just answered without hesitation that Iruma's division would win the award.
The demon who asked the question had no other intention, but the brave man who heard this thought too much.
Did I make it obvious that Iruma was my boss for the game?
Avida began to quickly recall whether she had done anything that gave away her identity. She had recently been so caught up in her relationship that she had neglected this important aspect of passing the level. So, fortunately, although she had indeed cared about Iruma before, there was nothing suspicious about it. At most, it seemed like she was particularly optimistic about this student.
After all, human hearts are biased, and the devil's heart may not be centered.
"After all, Iruma is the master of Kaluyeger's familiar."
To distract attention, say something embarrassing to the listener.
Teacher Balam suddenly felt that his slacking partner was secretly showing off his love affair, and he was not very good at talking about love topics.
"I thought you would object to humans summoning demons as familiars."
Balam's words indeed proved that he was not good at talking about the topic of love.
Although Aveda looks like a terrifying demon who would kill the human who summoned her boyfriend, Balam subconsciously feels that Aveda would not do that to Iruma.
"Karuyeg didn't ask for help, and if he had acted on his own, there would have been a fight." Iveda shared her experience. "Love is about respecting each other's autonomy."
If Kaluyeg was really distressed and asked Avida for help, she would definitely help.
For Aveda, it’s not like she has to kill the boss to complete the game.
When it comes to matters not related to the principles of customs clearance, Kaluyeger takes priority for her.
But Avida guessed that although Kaluyege knew that Iruma was a human, he still regarded him as a student of Babirus, and there would be no situation where he would have to choose between the two.
The relationship collapses, probably when you complete the game of Brave Game.
Thinking of this, Avida didn't really want to face such an ending. She thought optimistically that maybe the relationship would end before this.
Balram, who had no experience in love, felt that what Teacher Avida said made sense, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it.
Why did it seem like Teacher Avida was very experienced? His instinct for survival made him bury this thought in his heart.
They hadn't rested for long before they were called back.
Before the award ceremony began, the teachers held a small meeting, after all, the voting results were already out.
"So the problem now is that Babirus can't award ranks above the sixth level to students," Teacher Dali said with a serious expression. "If I go up and announce the results, the students will throw vegetables at me. Why don't you go, Kaluyeger? After all, everyone is afraid of you."
Avida, who was still listening to Kaluyege's explanation of why the school could not award the Babirus, immediately fixed her eyes on Teacher Dali's face when she heard Teacher Dali's words.
"Teacher Aveda, you can do it too," Teacher Dali said, catching each one as they went. "You haven't given out division awards yet, have you? This is a rare opportunity."
How to refuse a boss's proposal in the workplace? Aveda showed an attitude of resigning at worst. "No," she said, then shifted the blame, pointing at Teacher Robin and saying, "Teacher Robin is also a newcomer."
"Mr. Robin has already done a lot of work on the eve of the festival."
…
Is conducting harassing interviews with a camera considered work?
When the scene fast forwards to the stage of defeating the Demon King and destroying the Demon World, the speechless Avida is already thinking about destroying the world.
The hero's aura of wanting to destroy the world was too strong. Teacher Dali felt as if his wings were about to be pulled off. "Hahaha, just kidding. Let's do it as before."
Sure enough, after the award ceremony, the whole scene fell into chaos when the mention of not being able to upgrade Iruma was mentioned. As the head teacher, Mr. Dali jumped out to explain out of responsibility. After all, Kaluyeger, a junior he had taught before, was on the stage and covered his ears, thinking that the audience was too noisy.
Another second and he would have silenced the entire crowd.
Teacher Dali, who knew that it was useless to explain now, had already anticipated that after he finished speaking about the need to undergo the Scala test held by the Thirteen Crowns because those above the sixth level were required to take the test, the venue would go out of control again after a brief silence.
But Teacher Dali still wanted to shout. Although demons will throw things when they are excited, Teacher Avida, isn’t it a bit too much to wait until Kaluyeger is gone and then provide students with heavy objects to throw from the stage?
