After Retirement, the Demon King Became an Office Worker (and Hates Mondays) - You Won't Believe It, But Once the Hero HR Remembered Everything, We Were... Tavern Buddies?!

[1] "300 Yen for My Past Life? This Is Highway Robbery!"

Hoshino Akira's holy sword hovered midair, its tip aimed at her temple as the screen flashed:

『Memory Unlock Fee: 300 Yen (Tax Included)』32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Nqv5lpgr
『※Warning: May Contain "Mortifying Drunken Archives of Your Arch-Nemesis"※』

While I hesitated, my familiar leaped onto the sword hilt and stomped the "Confirm Payment" button: "Your Majesty! This is cheaper than Hell Casino chips!"

—DING!

The sword erupted in blinding gold light. Hoshino's pupils contracted violently as she clutched her head, memories flooding back—

[2] 300 Years Ago, We Actually... Drank Together Mid-War?

Memory Fragment 1:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5RBxw14Wv
On a blood-moon battlefield, a young Hero (Hoshino's past self) and the Demon King (yours truly) sat amid corpses, sharing a barrel of "Hell Lava Liquor."

"Hey, Demon King," the drunken Hero poked my crown, "this thing... in the human world, we call it 'overtime pay.'"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOeazTFSo4
"Nonsense! This symbolizes a Demon King's dignity!"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgGeGke5Gr
"Dignity my ass! Your minion just told me... you hide a 'Hot Spring Vacation Plan' under your throne!"

The Hero used her holy sword as a clothesline (hanging her "Goddess-Blessed" underwear), while I... dried them with dark magic.

"Let's schedule the final battle for Monday," she hiccuped. "Sundays... are for sleeping in."

[3] The Truth Behind the "Goddess System's" Memory Tampering

In the present, Hoshino grabbed my tie, her golden eyes blazing: "I remember now... There was never any 'final battle'!"

The so-called "holy war" was the Goddess brainwashing her to kill me—because our secret Ceasefire Agreement stated:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN589Ivket1
"No 996 Work System: Demons and Humans Unite Against Divine Exploitation."

"So... we were anti-Goddess allies?!" I gasped.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7d8EzXVdf
"More than that," her ears turned red. "You promised... to treat me to Hell Hotpot after peace was secured."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiod2OyrxxG
(Familiar interjected: "Your Majesty! So THIS is why you spent 300 years mastering hotpot?!")

[4] When the HR System Detects "Employee Rebellion"

The ceiling split open as the "Goddess System" announced:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn71gTa9NfS
『NO.1 Employee Memory Anomaly Detected. Initiating "Loyalty Reset Protocol."』

Hoshino's suit morphed into holy armor, but her eyes fought to stay clear: "Ludwig... use that move...!"

I yanked out the familiar's secret Demon Uber Ultimate Weapon—a "Memory-Recovery Takeout" spiked with lethal chili oil!

"This is...?"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QhK977EHm
"You said, 'Only tears-inducing spice makes memories stick!'" I pried her jaw open. "Wake the hell up... Akira!"

[5] Paid Cliffhanger: The Hero & Demon King's "Reincarnation Employment Pact"

She coughed up golden data streams, her armor shattering to reveal... her Celestial Enterprises uniform underneath.

"Listen," she panted, gripping my hand. "The system's core is inside... the CEO's coffee machine..."

Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a notification:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3ynfR9Fnq
『Demoted to "Intern." Return Holy Sword Immediately.』

Meanwhile, my familiar received a Demon Uber order:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKrDbGWxOY
『New Mission: Deliver "Deicide Special" to CEO's Office32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5YYbKjz8M
