[159] Managing the Inner World!

[159] Managing the Inner World!

After sending Sirzechs away, August didn't immediately head to Kuoh Town.

August turned and entered the inner world, which had expanded to 1000 square meters, ten times larger than its previous size of 100 square meters.

Looking at this vast space, it could be considered somewhat empty.

However, August himself had no idea about construction or planting. The orchard and crops planted earlier seemed meaningless now, as he could hardly benefit from them.

Of course, with the world expanding, the Tree of Water had also grown several circles larger. At first glance, it looked like a hundred-year-old tree, laden with fruits on its branches.

"Wait, now I have a territory and noble subordinates. I don't need to do this personally."

Thinking about this, August quickly left the inner world and returned to the castle.

"My Lord, where did you just go? I couldn't find you anywhere."

As soon as he returned, Hilda ran over. As a maid, her master was everything to her.

August's sudden disappearance made her feel like the sky was falling.

"It's nothing, just went to my world."

"My Lord's world?"

"Yes, Hilda, is there anyone here who is proficient in construction and planting?"

"Yes, there are personnel responsible for managing the entire castle and surrounding territories, including construction and planting. What does My Lord wish to do?"

"Good, go find me a few people proficient in construction and planting."

"Yes."

Hilda then left. Despite this castle being August's private property, almost two hundred maids lived here, each with different roles.

In addition, there were guards securing the castle's safety, totaling around a hundred.

Not long after, Hilda returned with two groups of maids, each with ten members. All of them were female devils and, without exception, were beautiful.

In August's memory, most of these maids were sent by various devil families.

Perhaps to win over August, or perhaps to gather information about him, regardless of the reason, there was no one ugly in August's castle. The worst of them were still quite attractive.

"My Lord, the people have been brought here. On the left are maids proficient in construction, responsible for building and repairing the castle and estates. On the right are those skilled in planting."

"Very good."

Hilda slightly bowed and stepped aside to make room.

August looked at the twenty devil maids in front of him. Without exception, all of them were intermediate-level devils. If this were known, no one would believe it.

"This is my world, and from now on, it will be your new home as well."

"Your world, My Lord?"

"Yes, this world belongs to me. Although it's not that large right now, with time passing, it will grow little by little. Eventually, it might even grow to the level of the Underworld."

August wasn't just talking nonsense, he had absolute confidence.

Having a system and the ability to traverse countless worlds, if he couldn't expand this world into a true one, there would be no point for August.

"It's truly amazing, My Lord."

Hilda was extremely shocked. Controlling a world, she had never heard of anyone having such ability among the millions of gods worldwide.

The other twenty maids were equally stunned, looking at this new world in awe.

"Starting today, your task is to manage this world. Those skilled in construction will be responsible for its rational allocation, building a mansion, and those skilled in planting will take care of the world's plants."

"Yes!!!"

Everyone responded in unison.

After witnessing such means, who among them would dare to have any thoughts of defiance?

"My Lord, what about me?"

Hilda eagerly asked, she also wanted to do something for August.

"Your task is to serve me. You don't need to stay here forever like them. You are my personal maid, taking care of my daily life."

"It's Hilda's honor."

"Yes."

Hilda was happy because August's words meant determining her future position.

A personal maid meant being August's closest confidant.

As for the other twenty maids, their hearts sank. August's words implied that they would stay here forever, meaning they wouldn't be able to leave for the rest of their lives.

Despite this realization, they dared not voice any objections. In the Underworld, maid servants were the master's private property.

Even if they were told to die, they had to do it because they didn't have the qualification to resist.

This included the reincarnated devils. In the eyes of most devils, they were nothing more than servants, even if they rose to the level of upper-level devils.

As seen in the original work, the protagonist, Issei Hyoudou, became a super devil, but he was only given the title of a special-level devil.
