After Retirement, the Demon King Became an Office Worker (and Hates Mondays) - Turns Out the Overlord and the Champion Pulled a Jailbreak for Hot Pot, and Now the Whole Courtroom'

[1] "Court Adjourned! Defendant & Plaintiff Have Vanished?!"

The Three Realms Court descended into chaos. The defendant and plaintiff seats for "Demon King Ludwig" and "Hero Hoshino Akira" were empty—only a note remained:

"Off to fulfill a 300-year-old hotpot promise. Do not pursue. —P.S. Succubus's lawsuit was forged."

Judge Goddess, her bunny-ear headband bristling with rage: "Bailiffs! Check the surveillance!"

The footage revealed—

The Demon King used dark magic to tamper with the courtroom clock, tricking everyone into thinking it was "lunch break."
The Hero carved an "emergency exit" (shaped like a hotpot) in the wall with her holy sword.
The familiar, disguised as a delivery guy, held a sign outside: "Extra-spicy broth ready. Escape window: 30min."

[2] "This Isn’t Jailbreak! It’s a 'Temporary Truce for Meals'!"

At the hotpot restaurant, we (the Demon King and Hoshino) sat across from each other, a boiling "Hellfire Spicy × Holy Light Mild" dual broth between us.

"Let’s be clear," she picked up a slice of "Cursed Lamb" (a Demon Castle specialty). "After this, we’re resuming the trial."122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qWqqg7uKI
"Sure," I dipped my meat into "Hero’s Signature Sauce." "But Clause 6 of your lawsuit says: 'If Defendant treats Plaintiff to a meal, charges must be dropped.'"

Her chopsticks froze: "...That’s a 300-year-old clause!"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuoqfyIVeS
"No expiration date~" I grinned, handing her the original Ceasefire Agreement—with fine print at the bottom:122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ulatRHQc1
"Interpretation rights belong solely to the Demon King (unless the Hero is drunk)."

[3] Goddess’ Cross-Dimensional Manhunt & Familiar’s Livestream Circus

"Viewers! This is Three Realms Court Chase LIVE!" The Goddess barged into the restaurant with a selfie stick, trailed by "Celestial Bailiff Drones."

The familiar promptly set up cameras:122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBJQQaGM89

Suddenly, Hoshino stabbed her holy sword into the pot: "More broth, please!"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiiTEhWsXu
—BOOM!122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLnEFvHF4c
The holy-spicy fusion detonated into a gold-red mushroom cloud, frying all drones midair!

[4] "The Dual Broth is Cosmic Law!"

When the smoke cleared, the restaurant wall bore a sword-carved decree:122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUFLt52QDT
"Per Three Realms Culinary Convention Article 1:122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWm2NYvEj5
All grudges shall pause before a dual-flavor hotpot."

Goddess, dumbfounded: "...Since when does this 'Convention' exist?!"122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gG2LTOjey
The owner raised his hand: "I just made it up. Also—" He flashed a QR code:122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasFtiSXA8s
"New 'Court Escape Combo Meal'—scan to waive legal liability~"
