107 – My Wife is the Devil (14)
…… Meanwhile, at the same time.
Around the time when Julius heard shocking news from Arnhil.
A great commotion had just broken out in a corner of the Spiral Palace, far from the throne room, where the cult’s Inquisitors were gathered.
“Mo, everyone step back! Maintain your posture!”
A woman with short hair, which is rare in the Kingdom of Lyriam, where long hair is considered a woman’s virtue.
Enin Kaitel, a special interrogator commonly known as “Short-haired Enin” Among the priests of the Telmere Church, shouted loudly to his colleagues as he pulled out the longsword neatly slung on his belt.
The heresy inquisitors, who had been teasing Enin earlier and telling her trivial stories, also followed her words and got up from their seats and started pulling out her sword.
“Well, what on earth is that?”
“Am I looking at something useless now?”
“Everyone be careful. “Maybe it’s just an illusion shown by this eerie tentacle.”
“First, remove the tentacle from around his neck and speak! “I’m really crazy!”
From the man tilting his head as if he was confused to the woman rubbing her eyes as if she was suspicious. And all the way to the disgusting monster with tentacles wrapped around his neck like a scarf.
They had so many different personalities, but surprisingly, their individual expressions were all the same.
Contemplation. The fifteen Heresy Questioners all had gray faces.
“Ah, devil. The devil appeared. “The devil has appeared!”
And among them, Enin Keitel, a top heretic inquisitor who was so dark that he could be said to be the best, pointed his point and screamed at the brown-haired demon who suddenly appeared in front of them from the other side of her hallway. .
As we sit together in front of the bonfire, we say, ‘Time, New Year, our life is bad. ‘Let’s start planning for our next life from now on.’ What was the reason why they suddenly panicked while waiting for rescue while neglecting their duties as if it were nothing?
The reason was really simple.
This is because the devil suddenly appeared in front of them. A devil with a woman’s body that everyone here is familiar with.
“Calm down, Enin! “What if you, the leader, are confused?”
“How on earth can you calm down! “Hey, that devil over there!”
You’re covering my friend’s body!
Ennin’s whole body trembled as he looked at the devil who appeared before his eyes, uncharacteristic of a top-class Heretic Questioner. Her companions, who were adjusting her stance behind her back and pointing her sword at the demon, shouted at Enin to calm down, but there was no way such a sound could reach her ears right now.
“…… What is it, Enin? Why are you here? “I told you never to come back.”
A cold voice that sends chills just by hearing it.
The brown-haired woman with whom she had spent her childhood and who had devoted her friendship to her opened her mouth with her brows furrowed.
As if time had eluded her, she had the same face and the same voice as when she had dumped someone in a deserted corner just eight years ago for confessing to the boy she had a crush on.
“…… Eww.”
It was as if he had returned to the old days, and the sight, which even had a faint scent, ironically aroused a feeling of joy in Enin’s heart. In my heart, I wanted to say hello to my vicious childhood friend whom I had reunited with after 8 years.
“Uh… Everyone, shut up! “How dare the devil raise his head in front of the Lord’s servant!”
However, contrary to Enin’s feelings, the words that came out of her mouth were a rant directed at the devil. It was also a cry against herself for her weakened heart.
That’s because the devil who appeared before Enin’s eyes was none other than “Cecil Lionelta.”
She was the daughter of a poor saint who breathed his last a long time ago.
‘…It was real. The real Cecil is dead.’
Even though it was just news of her death, I still couldn’t believe that damn girl had died, but now I had no choice but to believe it.
The terrible demonic energy gushing from Cecil’s heart appeared before my eyes, and the murderous energy that seemed to slice through flesh gushing out from inside the cloudy wall. Because she screamed that she was a devil.
And Enin realized it instinctively in an instant.
The fact that the demon in front of her, the demon that took over the body of her friend Cecil, was stronger than any demon she had ever dealt with.
The quality and quantity of demon energy were on a different level from ordinary demons. It was the culmination of such overwhelming and violent power that it did not even occur to me that I could win.
The most dangerous being in the world recorded in a banned book. Enin’s first encounter with a high-ranking devil was so shocking that he instantly lost his will to fight.
“… ….”
“… Huh. “Huh.”
──Grumbling.
Even though he didn’t do anything, a drop of cold sweat ran down Enin’s cheek.
The hand holding the heavy silver-decorated sword began to sweat, and the tongue that had scolded the devil a moment ago became dry.
Eventually, when her eyes, which had been staring intently at the devil, began to tremble from the fear presented by the demonic spirit, which was difficult for her to handle, the devil, who had heard Enin’s shout and closed her mouth for a moment and tilted her head, came at her again. Opened his mouth.
Unlike the cold voice from before, this time it was so hot that it was passionate.
“…… Dare? Which is safe? That’s what I’m going to say, Ennin. I feel like my heart is breaking because I lost Julius so quickly. “How dare someone like a fire fox appear in front of me and say such arrogant things!”
It went beyond the hot level and was boiling over.
An unsightly hiccup came out of Enin’s mouth with such tremendous anger that it made him think the air around him had become hot.
“…… Hi!”
Oh, I’m scared. High-ranking devil. It’s really not a joke.
The exciting momentum that had been brought about by forcibly gathering courage a moment ago disappeared like snow melting due to the high-ranking devil’s anger.
He’s a top-ranked heretic inquisitor, but he can’t help but hiccup in front of the devil.
Enine, who was inadvertently ‘scared’ by Cecile, who was so angry that she seemed ready to rip out all her hair, couldn’t help but flutter her eyes and even her legs began to shake.
‘She is such a slut. ‘It’s really scary.’
She wanted revenge on the devil disguised as her friend and wanted to run away immediately.
If she had simply performed evil magic or cried out Enin’s name, she would not have felt fear.
However, the word ‘fire fox’ and its extremely ‘Cecilian’ appearance, such as its fanatical obsession with Julius, stimulated Enin’s fear.
─Were we friends? Since when?
─Don’t act like you’re friendly with Julius.
─How dare you… dare! Are you crossing my man? Henin, do you really want to die?
─Ennin, please choose one of the two. Are you going to live quietly in a corner of the countryside forever? Or die with me now!
“…… “Ugh.”
To be precise, it was a ‘learned’ fear caused by trauma.
When I was an adolescent girl. She confessed to a boy she was close with, and the memory of that time when she realized with her own body what a living hell was, remained an indelible trauma for Enin.
‘I’m sorry! It really won’t happen anymore. I was wrong── Gaaa!’
In short, that is the relationship between Cecil and Henin. It’s like a natural enemy relationship, like a cat and a mouse. Now I’m embarrassed to even say that I’m my only friend.
In the end, Enin was crushed by the momentum and ended up taking a few steps backwards. The fight hasn’t even started yet, but he’s already trying to run away, which is pathetic.
Togak─ Togak─ Togak─
And matching her steps, the high-ranking demon pretending to be Cecil(?) Also moved her steps towards Enin, who was running away with great strides.
“Jjo, they are chasing you! Everyone raise your sword! “Stay poised!”
Srumbling─!
Many of the Heresy Questioners, including Enin, saw the sight and urgently raised their swords, but the devil continued to walk towards Enin as if he didn’t care about the small piece of sword at all, teasing his pretty lips.
He continues to say what he wants to say in a rapid-fire manner. In a frighteningly obsessive tone.
“Why are you here? No, it’s okay if you don’t say anything. “It’s obvious why you’re here.”
“…… Yes?”
“Are you trying to take Julius away from me?”
“?”
Because I am no longer noble, I thought it was time to seduce him. It’s a big deal, I wasn’t coming to the palace after all. “There are so many wildcats out here targeting him!”
A lot─ a lot─ a lot──!
He shouted so loudly that the entire palace corridor filled with flesh resounded.
Now the devil started kicking the floor with tears in his eyes. On the outside, it was a comical sight, like a grown woman having a tantrum.
“Ugh! “My ears, my ears are going to explode!”
“Hey, there’s a crack in the ceiling! “Someone stop that devil!”
“”…… Ugh.””
“Hey! Dennis and Sally fainted! Ennin! Try something! “If this continues, we will all die!”
“Is that really the devil? Isn’t she really that girl? What they do is exactly the same——aaah!”
However, the result of the comical scene was not funny at all.
With nothing more than a tearful and indignant scream, Cecil cracked a palace covered in regenerative flesh and achieved the feat of causing two top interrogators to faint.
To begin with, high-ranking devils are beings who can easily destroy a kingdom with just a breath.
According to the fact that Cecil’s already strong power has become even stronger due to the influence of the ‘Void’, which can be safely called the home of demons, the Telmere Church’s elite interrogators are swept away like fallen leaves at the mere sight of her annoyance. It was natural for this to happen.
“I’m annoyed! Why doesn’t teleportation work? “We have to get to him quickly!”
“Ke, keh. “Breath, breath!”
“If this continues, everyone will die. Everyone is really dead!”
aaah!
Of course, the only man in her world who makes her a shy puppy. The story would have been different if Julius Tapnel had been there, but unfortunately, he was not by Cecil’s side right now. And that means that Cecil’s terrible cowardice, which was only visible in front of Julius, also disappeared.
It was a very unfortunate event for the fifteen Heretic Questioners who were about to pass out right here and now.
“Everyone, stop your behavior right now! You dirty devil, how dare you! Are you desecrating the body knowing whose body it belongs to?”
In this way, he will be recorded in history as the worst heretic inquisitor of all time who died due to the devil’s hysteria.
Ennin, who felt his life threatened by the power of a high-ranking demon that could be described as unrivaled, shouted at Cecil again with the intention of cutting his life short. It was nothing more than a meaningless struggle, but what can you do when this is all you can do? It was inevitable since God Rom, the father of all, gave Enin only one choice.
“… ….”
Suddenly.
“Huh, huh?”
But surprisingly, as soon as Enin’s shout rang out, the high-ranking devil’s movements stopped.
It wasn’t just that. After encountering Enin, the small lips that had been constantly calling out ‘firefox’, ‘wildcat’, or ‘Julius’ also stopped.
Could it be that God Rom, who took pity on Enin, caused a miracle?
Ennin swallowed a drop of saliva as he looked at the demon who stopped moving for an instant like a broken doll.
“Is it expelled? “Ho, did the Lord Rom perform a miracle?”
Perhaps the Lord Rom really did perform a miracle. If only Enin had kept his mouth shut.
But unfortunately, she ended up putting in her mouth something that she should never have said. It may have been a mistake, but it ended up offending Cecil Lionelta.
The word that touched the disgust of Cecile, who fell from the daughter of a noble saint to a high-ranking devil, was just that.
“Am I dirty?”
“…… Ah.”
A big problem has occurred.
He was a ‘dirty devil.’
***
Kwaaang──!
Kwaaang──!
A bloody roar that fills the Spiral Palace, where only silence and silence should flow.
“… ….”
Erman, who was walking down the dark palace hallway, stopped in his tracks and turned his head towards the direction from which the roar was heard due to the vibration and sound that was close to a bombardment, as if a cannon ball was exploding.
I will kill you───!
As soon as I turned my head, the extremely murderous voices of a man and a woman rang out at the same time, as if they were making out.
It was a very familiar voice to Erman.
On one hand, it was the voice of a precious daughter who wouldn’t feel pain if she put it in her eyes, and on the other hand, it was the voice of a goddamn wolf child who wouldn’t even feel remorse if she poked her eyes.
Ermann opened his mouth with an uncharacteristic smile upon hearing the two voices that were somehow welcoming.
“…… “Huh, it’s a little early.”
Did my mother do things as she pleased?
The uproar that was supposed to happen tomorrow has been brought forward by a day.
Erman, who has experienced numerous regressions, might have taken these variables quite seriously, but for some reason, he shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal and started walking again.
“In that case, it is impossible to distort the harmony of predestination. Mother.”
He just grumbled something bordering on resignation and smiled self-deprecatingly.
──No one can take Julius away from me! Rather than have it taken away, I’d rather just destroy everything!
“Tsk tsk. There isn’t even a trace of dignity in it. “Who on earth raised that devil so rudely?”
You’re saying something so ridiculous that it’s almost like spitting in my face.
Jeobbuk─
Jeobbuk─
“I wonder what choice that weakling will make.”
At the end of the long red carpet, I ran and ran until my feet swelled.
Recalling the face of a small and weak child.
I just walked slowly and leisurely along the red carpeted road.
