I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents

Chapter 131: An Unpleasant Reunion

Demon tribe.

Using the great power possessed by the Demon King, a race of plunderers from another dimension had infiltrated this world by breaking through the dimensional barrier.

As long as their desires permit, they could grow indefinitely, becoming an ever-increasing threat to humanity over time.

Among the members of such Demon King's army, excluding the Demon King himself, everyone agreed that the strongest among the demon tribe was collectively referred to as the 'Four Heavenly Kings'.

"M-M-Me..."

It was said that Mephisto, ranked second among them, had appeared.

Realizing this, a gasp of horror began to escape from the young saint of the Meter Order, Yui.

"Why is Lord Mephisto here?!"

"Shh."

Merilyn quickly covered the mouth of the young saint with her hand.

The young saint trembled at the force, but Merilyn paid no mind, quietly observing the atmosphere around them.

This place was the Saint's room, connected to the Meter Order's prayer room.

Merilyn came here while wandering the city, having been asked by the Meter Order to perform music needed for a holy song and also to gather concerning information lately.

The Meter, aside from the empire's state religion, Friga, had been recently gaining influence.

She accepted the task, hoping to gather much information, but what she actually found was a fellow demon tribe member playing the role of a saint in the order.

Priests, who would not be satisfied even if they beat a demon tribe member to death, were venerating one as a saint—a concern for a fellow demon tribe member, wouldn't it?

"O merciful saint of Meter, it is regretful that a humble minstrel like myself lays hands on your noble body, but nevertheless, I must convey a message to you."

"Mmph, mmph."

The young saint, her mouth covered by a hand, had tears welling up in her eyes.

Soon, Merilyn squinted her eyes, beginning to glare at her.

"You are aware that this is human territory, right?"

"Uh, umph, mph."

"Being in the valuable position of a saint means human influences are involved, but it seems you've been hiding your identity in public... It would be best if we didn't reveal each other's identities openly, right?"

"...Mph."

Her head nodded strenuously, with her mouth still covered.

Seeing the trembling of her body subside, Merilyn gradually relaxed her hand, covering her mouth.

"Alright, let's quietly... reveal our identities to each other quietly and have a light conversation."

"Yes, yes. Please, speak, Lord Mephisto..."

Saint Yui was finally able to breathe and speak...

No, at least in front of her, there was no need to hide her identity.

"What is your name?"

"I am Yui-noi, a low-ranking member of the Demon King's army."

A young demon, looking to be only about 10 years old at most.

This young girl, who hadn't even learned to drain life energy, likely only did trivial chores in the Demon King's army.

"It doesn't seem you infiltrated human society on the Demon King's army's orders... Why is a small and young being like you playing the role of a saint in the order?"
