Canon is The Devil is a Part-Timer!

[extremecouponing]

With all due respect, Lady Mun, I don't understand what you find so amusing about my account name. Household budgeting is of extreme importance, a duty (among many, many others) which I carry out with great pride in the service of my Lord Maou and his glorious conquest of your world. It is a true honor, and no laughing matter! You'd do well to see to your own. Did you really need a new scarf, at this time of year? It wasn't even on sale...

In any case, now that you've made this account, might I ask what you intend to do with it? I won't stand for being separated from my Lord, if that's what you're planning. Then who would iron his work uniform? How do you expect he'll be able to rise through the ranks at his workplace with a sloppy uniform? If anyone could, of course it would be the great Lord Maou, but... I digress. The point remains, I must insist.

Well, it's good to see that you're taking the right things seriously, as usual.

[Was that sarcasm? Ooooh yeah.]

[extremecouponing]

[Guess whose head that just went over?]

Yes, in spite of the dire position that we're in, I shall work tirelessly so as not to disappoint my Lord's faith in me!

[stalkerhero]

What Lord? I don't see any Lord nearby, do you?

[That... that's not nice, Emi.]

[extremecouponing]

[It's really not.]

Wh-

I... Of course Lord Maou would not have strayed far from my side! [Yeah he has no idea where he is.]

But in the meantime, until his return, it's my duty and my honor to take care of things on his behalf!

[stalkerhero]

[She really should be nicer to Alciel. Poor guy has been through a lot...]

You don't know where he is. For all you know, he could be in need of your help. Injured, perhaps. Or worse.

[She really, really should be nicer...]

[extremecouponing]

[You're going to give him a stress ulcer, Emi. How is that heroic at all?]

Even here, he's not so weak that he couldn't handle a little trouble.

[But...]

It would be best to find out for sure. You -- do you know anything about it, Hero?

[stalkerhero]

[Psychological warfare has been proven to be an effective and useful strategy during war.]

W-What reason should I tell you, oh Great Demon General Alciel?

[Calling her by her title did stir up some feelings of guilt.]

[extremecouponing]

Regrettable as I may find it, we have cooperated with you more than once of late. Can your hero's conscience leave him in danger so easily?

[stalkerhero]

[...touche, Alciel, touche...]

He is in no danger.

Well, no danger that his player hasn't wished to subject him to.

[She gets a bit heated.] Which I claim no responsibility for.

[rushiferu]

You know, talking about people behind their back is pretty tasteless Ashiya... [Referring to that thread up there with Emi.]

[extremecouponing]

[Say that again, NEET...]

And I'm to assume eavesdropping on them is the height of class now?

[rushiferu]

Was I supposed to just ignore it when I heard you talking about me?

[extremecouponing]

I suppose you just overheard accidentally, then. What happened to your No Going Outside Policy?

[rushiferu]

[He shrugs]

I'd stay inside if I had a choice. It's not like we have any control over our "mums" or whatever they're called.

[extremecouponing]

As long as yours has an internet connection, do you even care?

[rushiferu]

It's not like I'm the one using the internet. I'm lucky enough to get a gamepad in this stupid place...

[extremecouponing]

I can't imagine how you've survived this long.

[supervising]

I've... seen less fitting usernames, for sure. There's no way you wouldn't be right at home on that show.

Great timing, by the way. I literally just got my uniform where I am. It's folded nicely, so if that was you, great job. [Not that he can really use it, but it's nice to know it's in good hands.]

[extremecouponing]

[Maou is a sight for sore eyes, especially after someone decided to get him all worried about him. Not naming any names, Emi.]

If you think that it suits me, my Lord, then I will bear it with pride.

Is that so? I'm pleased to hear that it reached you in good condition, but... if it pleases you to say, what might you mean by 'where I am'?

[supervising]

[What the heck. Why is that girl causing so many problems for him and his crew.]

It's some kind of weird school. It seems like I'm going to be there for a while, so I'm planning on keeping that uniform safe until I actually need it.

[extremecouponing]

[It's her hobby, he's pretty sure.]

I see. And what of your school uniform, sire?

[Obviously, that's what's important.]

[supervising]

I only have two pairs and a gym uniform right now. Don't worry about it, how hard can laundry be?

[ famous last words. ]

[extremecouponing]

Forgive my impertinence, my lord. I've no doubt of your capabilities, but I would rest more easily knowing that you're taking the challenges before you seriously.

[supervising]

I'm taking it seriously enough. A few students got killed, so laundry's about the least of my problems right now.

[A pause.] I'm fine, by the way. Nothing's bad happening to me yet.

[extremecouponing]

[Wait, what?]

How is that fine?
