Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 618 - 317: Kidnapping Santa Claus

Shami stared wide-eyed at the old guy in front of her.

So there really is a Santa Claus in this world! What those idiots said turns out to be true, actual experiences!

Taking a deep breath, even though it was still hard to accept, Shami had already decided to properly interrogate the old man who entered the Demon King Castle through the chimney.

The Demon King Castle has double-layered barriers, how could a stranger just casually enter?

"How did you get in here?"

"Of course, through the chimney."

"What I’m asking is how did you come to this castle."

"Oh, I came over in a sled car."

"..."

Santa Claus said things that didn’t really explain anything, all common knowledge Shami already knew.

Could it be that tonight fantasy really became reality?

Seeing Shami not talking and pinching her face, Santa Claus slung the big red bag behind him.

"I’m leaving first, my tasks are heavy and time is tight. There are quite a lot of gifts to distribute tonight."

"Stop!"

Shami stopped this suspicious character.

"Do you know who I am?"

Santa Claus was silent for a while, with a calm face and a thick white beard below.

Santa Claus pulled out a faintly glowing list, which seemed to be a checklist, and shook his head.

"I don’t know. But you’re not within my gift-giving range. I came here to give gifts to four girls."

Santa Claus was about to start exploring the Demon King Castle, and Shami grew even angrier; this clearly showed he didn’t take her seriously.

"This is the Demon King Castle, I’m the Demon Lord, the owner of the castle! How could I let a mysterious old guy wander around?!"

The Magic Power in her hand transformed into visible purple energy tentacles, directly binding Santa Claus in midair, his feet off the ground.

Santa Claus’s face became visibly flustered, hurriedly looking down at the list.

"Wait, Demon King Castle?! Demon Lord?! The Magic Goddess didn’t tell me I was supposed to go to the Demon King Castle to deliver Christmas gifts!"

From Santa Claus’s mouth, Shami heard words like "Magic Goddess," a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

Santa Claus actually has something to do with the Magic Goddess?

Their conversation was already loud, likely to wake up the girls.

Shami tightened the magical tentacles on Santa Claus, while a tentacle stuffed into Santa Claus’s mouth.

"D-Demon Lord Sir, can you let Santa Claus go? I’ll give you all the gifts, please don’t do tentacle PLAY with Santa Claus, it’ll leave an indelible memory."

Santa Claus struggled to break free of the tentacles, pleading bitterly.

"Who’s interested in doing that to you?!"

Shami stepped forward, said sternly.

"Old man, now you are suspected of illegal trespass, according to Demon Realm law, I need to detain you."

"Ah?! I still have a big bag of gifts to deliver!"

"The Demon Lord spoke, Santa Claus is not allowed to blabber."

Shami said seriously, looked outside, and indeed saw reindeer and a sled car.

"Also, that outside is your trespassing tool, confiscated too!"

"Demon Lord Sir!"

Santa Claus shouted wretchedly, next moment, stuffed his mouth, along with reindeer and sled, all moved by Shami to the castle’s basement.

Once cleared of all traces of Santa Claus in the living room, Shami also took off the cosplay outfit she was wearing.

In the quiet living room, Shami paced around seriously.

"Should I tell them Santa Claus indeed exists? But once the truth of the legend is touched, the beautiful fantasies of the past would surely fade."

Everyone has their own Santa Claus in their hearts; if the four Demon Envoy girls find the real Santa Claus wasn’t as they imagined, they’d definitely be disappointed, even lose their innocence.

Thinking of the Demon Envoy girls’ downcast expressions, Shami couldn’t help but frown.

The happiness of the Demon Envoy girls is the most important thing for the Demons!

Shami ultimately decided to hide the matter of kidnapping Santa Claus into the basement for now.

Meanwhile, in the deep night, the Demon Lord faced a task more important than sleep; she needed to properly interrogate Santa Claus.

Whether it’s the relationship between Santa Claus and the Magic Goddess, or how Santa Claus bypassed the Demon Realm’s protection barrier to enter the Demon King Castle, the former concerns the Magic Goddess, the latter concerns the safety of the Demon Realm.

Either matter needs to be resolved by Shami.

Shami patted her clothes, placed Santa Claus into the Demon King Ring, left the living room, headed towards the castle’s underground space.

"Wait."

Just when about to step into the underground space, Shami stopped at the staircase. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He felt he hadn’t completed something, but recalling closely, tonight, he had already placed all the gifts accordingly.

Shami dismissed the unknown hesitation, took long strides toward the interrogation room.

Currently, the underground space of the Demon King Castle has three floors, each serving a specific purpose.

Such as storing food, equipment, treasures.

As for why not put them in the Demon King Ring? — Because when everything is stored in the Storage Ring, it’s easy to not find them in emergencies!

And not only the Demon Lord, the Demon Envoy and other demon leaders might need to use these items, of course, they must be placed in the Demon King Castle!

Simultaneously, the underground space of the Demon King Castle includes cells, holding rooms, interrogation chambers... various rooms to entertain adventurer groups.

Negative floor of the Demon King Castle.

The interrogation room originally designed to entertain adventurers welcomed its first guest.
