Welcome to the Netherworld!

[lazyvassals]

[It is difficult to define what a normal afternoon is by Netherworld standards. In the dark, torch-lit halls of the Overlord's Castle, penguin-suited prinnies totter about pretending to do work, while most other vassals make no effort at all to pretend. No fights have broken out yet, but it is questionable how long that will last with the Overlord being awake. It is just the sort of calm that comes before something unexpected happens, or someone makes it happen out of boredom.

And that is precisely when the first stranger comes through the swirling vortex of the Dimensional Gate.

It doesn't seem so unusual at first, because people use that gate on a daily basis. But more people start to show up, people who aren't demons. The Gatekeeper herself has no idea where they've come from, or how they've found their way to the Netherworld.

Unfortunately, neither do the unexpected guests.]

[Money is always an excellent thought.]

Do you think any of them could pay?

[ainodatenshi]

...I don't really know.

[She didn't go around asking how much money people had on them, Laharl.]

[makainoou]

You couldn't see if they had anything valuable on them?

[You don't have to ask, you just keep an eye out for theft-worthy items.]

[ainodatenshi]

W-well... maybe?

[She might've seen some necklaces and rings... but uh...]

[makainoou]

Hm. I guess it's an option, but if they can't pay, I'll have to put them to work.

[ainodatenshi]

That sounds fair.

[At least about as fair as probably gonna get outta Laharl...]

[makainoou]

Of course it does. I don't see how they could expect anything better.
