108 – My Wife is the Devil (15)
About an hour before the encounter between Julius and Arnhill.
“Kyaaa—! It’s a big deal! “I lost Julius, I lost Julius!”
After being forced(?) To break up with Julius unintentionally due to Arnhill’s magic. The first words that came out of Cecil’s mouth were a scream that was almost like a scream.
“Oh, maybe it’s okay. “I can’t believe he became lost in such a crowded place.”
As she looked at the empty space where Julius had been a moment ago, and now only the wriggling tentacles were visible, Cecil squeezed her soft cheeks with both hands.
“And in a perfect place for an affair like this….”
…… Ugh. My heart hurts just thinking about it.
Not forgetting to say things that are extremely herlike. As soon as she could say the word infidelity, the corners of her eyes, sometimes like a fox and sometimes like a puppy, drooped. Tears welled up in her big eyes.
This is because, in just that short period of time, the devil’s extraordinary brain vividly replayed in his mind the terrible scenario of Julius being taken away by another woman.
There were exactly 3,000 and 14 scenarios.
“You have to stop thinking. First, calm down and take a deep breath. Haaab─ hoo- Haaab─ hoo-.”
It’s useless when doing route finding, but only works well at times like this. Cecil, who had suffered a tremendous shock to her mind just by imagining it, began to take deep breaths to steady her trembling mind.
Of course, the breathing method was something I learned from Julius about 10 years ago when I was dating him. When I take a deep breath like this and think about those times, it feels like Julius is blowing wind in my ears or something.
Even the way she calmed her mind was a very consistent woman.
“Phew. There is no time to rush around like this. “Now that Julius is gone from my side, I have to use my time efficiently to prevent the worst future.”
Cecil made a firm determination in a sonorous voice as she looked around the hallway, which was filled with tentacles glistening with slime and portraits that seemed vaguely ominous and eerie – no matter how you looked at them, the atmosphere was too scary to commit an affair.
Percussion! Then, out of nowhere, he ripped off the dog set that had been attached to his head and tailbone and roughly threw it away. After thinking about it, I realized that if I hadn’t been so obsessed with this rotten dog cosplay, I wouldn’t have even needed to make such a resolution.
“I can’t believe a woman like me would make such a foolish mistake. “It’s because of her ears and tail that look so stupid!”
It started out as a decoration with good intentions to show Julius a different side. Now, it has become the decisive reason for losing him.
Quack──!
Cecil burned the ears and tail of the dog that had been thrown to the ground, and then even trampled the remains with her feet. She roughly wiped away the tears that had formed at the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.
Anyway, the most important thing at this moment is to find Julius. If you want to vent your anger, it won’t be too late to do it after you find him.
“Teleportation is… It doesn’t work. “Then, should I at least ride a horse?”
Cecil started walking blindly forward and muttered quietly.
The Spiral Palace, located in Darkana, the capital of Lyriam, is famous for its complex structure, which is so overwhelming that it is said to be overwhelming compared to palaces in other countries.
What’s more, one of the high-ranking demons is a large octopus child—the true name is so difficult to pronounce and the main body’s intelligence is so low that Cecil calls the high-ranking demon Ketyal Hill a large octopus child—and it swallowed the entire palace, and is equal to Cecil’s. Arnhill’s great magic, which has even greater magic skills, is applied inside, so even teleportation does not work properly.
In a situation where moving quickly inside the palace had become quite difficult, Cecil thought for a moment, stroking his chin as if imitating Julius.
For your information, the fastest way would be to raise your skirt and run, but that option was excluded from consideration.
‘No matter what, I can’t show such an ugly appearance to the world.’
Like a child, he would throw a tantrum and cry when Julius carried him on his back. Although she sometimes shows Julius the sight of her rolling around on the floor and stamping her feet, Cecil is basically a woman called the ‘Lady’ herself, whom her daughter, Leila, yearns for to death.
When she is in front of Julius, she is basically completely disarmed, but when he is not by her side, Cecile is basically a lady whose manners of slapping her noble daughter are ingrained in her.
In other words, it was her natural choice to rule out running as her means of transportation.
Of course, it would be a different story if Julius’s wife was clinging to him. At that time, she was so graceful that she could easily jump and fly away like a frog.
“Hmm.”
Her hallways are wide, so it would be fastest to travel on her horse. She’s annoying, but she needs some help from that kid for the first time in a while. It’s a bit awkward to talk to, though.
Just right!
After a short period of deliberation, Cecile decided to ride her horse and flicked her fingers.
An enormous and extravagant amount of magical energy was spread that was incomparable to that of ordinary demons or even other high-ranking demons.
… ….
However, the surrounding scenery was still just slimy tentacles and gloomy pictures.
Normally, a familiar would have appeared in front of Cecile as soon as she snapped her fingers, but since she is currently unable to freely use spatial magic, she would need a slightly ‘special’ familiar in order to use the familiar stored in the nest. I needed to get help.
Cecil’s stylish finger snapping was the signal to summon that special familiar.
“Ancilla. Send out the one with the fastest feet among the familiars. “He doesn’t look bad when riding.”
-Okay.
At the command of Cecil, who had begun to regain her dignity as the time away from Julius increased, the voice of a girl who seemed to be about fifteen years old rang out from within Cecil’s shadow.
From Noble mtl dot com
The Devil’s Nest is occasionally used to escape reality or to store Julius’ collection. It was the voice of “Ancilla,” The familiar in charge of Cecil’s gigantic personal second dimension that was as big as a planet.
-Your husband is not with you? It’s been a while since you personally called me, so I don’t know what to do.
“It’s too noisy. It’s urgent right now. “Say something quickly.”
-…… You can call me directly as usual.
“What? It’s because I can’t sing like usual! Space magic doesn’t work properly here. So, take out the horse from the nest and command it to me right away.”
-You once said that you were better at handling space than Arnhill. And I think the fastest way would be to run on your own, but you can’t run on your own.
“It’s noisy! How can you do something like that without dignity? “You can’t show such shameful behavior except in front of Julius!”
-Usually, you act childishly towards your husband as if he were some kind of baby. You don’t know that in front of your husband is the place where you shouldn’t show your dignity the most… I understand. I will send out the fastest horse among the courser-type familiars.
“…… Hey! Noisy! It’s not because you’re like this that I don’t call you. What kind of father are you? Huh? Huh?”
Cecile, who had finally run out of patience due to Anncilla’s unlucky tone of constantly criticizing useless people, vented her anger by stomping on the shadow that had been cast under her legs.
As can be seen from the fact that she has a good name and dares to constantly talk back to Cecil, Ann Sila was the best familiar that Cecil had worked hard to create when she was Nir Hill. She was the strongest familiar.
It is an incredible workhorse that has been classified as a type, a planetary type. From the mansion that stores the [Julius Collection] Inside the nest to the wide plains where the familiars that could be called legions live, the ‘artificial planet’ that provides the foundation for everything is the identity of the familiar called “Ancilla”. . It is a scale so incredible that it is difficult for humans to imagine.
That force was also powerful enough to crush even the most high-ranking demons to dust in an instant.
“You’re useless, but you’re just yelling at the owner! “Try to be at least half as good as Julius!”
-Dear Madam, Inquisitor Julius Tapnel went too far. There is a tendency to be swayed by a sense of indebtedness towards one’s master and to receive excessive attention…….
“Ugh, ugh! Just shut up! Just keep quiet and tell me! Even at this very moment, you never know when and where a cat hunting for Julius will appear!
-Tsk. It’s a miracle that I don’t get divorced when I do that all the time.
“Hey! What did you say? Say it again! This is real!
-I sent a course horse that way. If you need anything else, please let me know at any time. Well, you don’t need to be thankful. I am Nirhil’s loyal servant.
“Never, never call me again! And I told you not to call me by that name!”
However, the familiar called Ancilla, which at first glance appears to be a fearsome masterpiece, had two fatal flaws.
The first is that, because he is endowed with excessively strong power, unlike other familiars, he proudly presents statements based on facts—a tone that gently scratches the nerves—without paying attention to what Cecil thinks. The second is that the first Unlike this, it was a more realistic drawback.
“…… “Why did you create such a large familiar that you can’t even summon it?”
-I can hear everything. I’m sad.
“It’s a sound that tells you to be sad.”
Too much or too little. The second drawback of the familiar called Ancilla is its huge weight class itself.
Because it is close in size to a planet, it simply cannot be summoned.
To be precise, you can summon it, but the moment you summon it, the world will be destroyed.
In other words, unless Julius cheats, there will be no need to summon him forever. It can also be said to be a waste of food that wastes magical energy unnecessarily.
That’s because there would be no way in heaven and earth that a man named Julius Tapnel would commit such an act.
Hmm. Cecil, whose mind had become quite cold due to the conversation with Ancilla, narrowed her brows as she glanced at the shadow beneath her feet. The enemies that Cecil and Julius now had to deal with were Erman, who was said to be the greatest saint of all time, and Arnhil, who was famous for fighting the most viciously and viciously among demons.
In short, the more mana there is, the better.
Are you going to get rid of this trash? Cecile narrowed her eyes as she thought of Ancilla, who was constantly consuming magical power to no avail. Now that I think about it, it has been 500 years since there was no restructuring of the familiar. It may be time to throw away useless trash.
“… ….”
-What a waste of food. Since your memory is not perfect and you seem to have forgotten, I will tell you again.
As if she had figured out Cecile’s scandalous intentions as he focused his gaze on her, Ancilla began to open her mouth again.
She was just trying to remind Cecile that although they say the dogs are abandoned when her hunt is over, she hasn’t even started the hunt yet.
“He hasn’t even opened his mouth yet.”
-I am a familiar created to confront a man named Julius Tapnel, whom Nirhil has longed for. Dare I say it, it is a familiar for use against Julius.
“You really make a great deal of sense out of it that it was made with the purpose of self-destructing if Julius cheated on her. Huh?”
-…… If you abandon me, I will reveal to the world your self-written poems and novels filled with love and s*xual desire for Julius Tapnel that you have been writing for 2,000 years.
“My, I wrote that? When?”
-Let me read you just one line from the self-written novel that was the most worth reading. ‘It was then. Yul appeared in front of me with her long blonde hair flowing and hugged my waist, breathing heavily. Then, with his slightly dry lips, he started teasing my small flower bud-‘ Ugh, I can’t read this anymore.
“Wow! Wow! Wow! Say something quickly! We have to go find Julius!
Operation Tosagupeng failed like a lie.
The price of trying to cut off a loyalist’s head for saying something bitter was too great, and Cecil waved his hands around, feeling suffocated by the dark history of his days as an active devil that he had erased from his memory.
It was a bonus to remember that in the closet at the end of the hallway on the first floor of Saint Erman’s mansion, which still remains in the capital, is a self-written novel that she had written all night long when she was in unrequited love for Julius.
‘After this is over, I’ll have to retrieve the notes from my dad’s house. If Julius finds out about this, he will be ridiculed for the rest of his life.’
Hobbies that are embarrassing to tell others will one day come back as a knife that stabs you.
Cecil, who had been acting as if she had no knowledge of shame since her resurrection, realized once again that the feeling of shame still remained within her.
Dag-dak─ Dag-dak─
Just as she was about to stamp her feet in shame due to Silas’ counterattack, Cecile quickly adjusted her clothes and cleared her throat a couple of times when she heard the sound of horses’ hooves coming from afar.
This is the end of the jokes with the familiar. Now it was time to use the feet of his familiar to save his delicate(?) Prince who had become the target of a flock of wildcats.
Ansilla also seemed to have sensed Cecil’s mindset, and instead of speaking loosely as before, she opened her mouth with the sharp tone of a high-ranking devil’s familiar.
-Of the courser-type familiars, we carefully selected and sent him the one with the fastest feet.
“Okay, thank you.”
-Rangsahil was as scary as ever. Even though he is just a copy of him, his speed and leg strength are amazing. Indeed, today I am even more in awe of the high-ranking devil within me.
“Yes, yes. It’s Langsa Hill. It’s good. Rang Sahil is famous for his quick feet…….”
Huh? Wait a minute, Langsahil? He’s heard a lot about it.
Cecile, who had been nodding her head without thinking at Ansila’s treacherous voice praising the high-ranking devil as if she were eagerly flattering her, belatedly raised her head high when she heard the name ‘Rang Sahil’. .
“Rangsa Hill? Why does that name suddenly appear here?”
When the name of a high-ranking demon that absolutely should not be mentioned at this moment came out of Ancilla’s mouth, Cecil made an angry expression as if the Lady’s dignity was none of his business and asked Ancilla an urgent question.
The experience of summoning the crazy Lee Gak-su, who only targets pure virgins without regard for her loyalties (the same applies to women who only allow themselves to one man), had long since become a trauma for Cecil.
It was only when I took care of Julius’s cocky childhood friend Thalia, ‘If I can’t win his heart, I’d rather die in front of him one more time and never let him forget me, so I summoned him with the feeling of self-destruction.’ However, it is different now.
What is the use of committing suicide when Julius is not by your side? From the beginning, Cecil had no desire to die right now. Things like rolling around in bed non-stop with Julius for a whole month, how to get Leila, who is waiting for her in Kente Village, to acknowledge her as her mother, whether to have twins or triplets for the second child, etc. This means that your future life plans are tightly planned.
And in that ambitious life plan, there was no such thing as a plan to be shaken by the out-of-control Lee Gak-su.
“I told you to send a horse. When did I tell you to send a crazy bastard! “Ansilla!”
Dag-dak-dag-dak-dag-dak-!
Hearing the terrifying sound of horses’ hooves slowly approaching towards her, Cecile, who became unusually thoughtful, shouted again at Ancilla, who did not respond.
The crazy bicorn with its big horn was now running near the end of the hallway in the distance. It only took about ten seconds to reach where Cecil was.
At the heartfelt and urgent call of her master, Ansila began to speak again.
-I prepared the fastest course horse for you. Is there any problem?
“I’m saying that now-“
-If you can’t control it, the answer is simple. You can run yourself. No matter how much Langsahill is said to be the fastest bipod in the world, it would be nothing more than a king’s nightmare. Why does someone who is so fast on his feet keep trying to run?
Towards Cecile, who was strangely reluctant to run even though it was an emergency, Ancilla spoke softly in the same tone as her caring mother.
In fact, when Ancilla summoned that crazy Bicorn, it had a great meaning similar to the Great Sea. It was an act of loyalty that he committed in the hope that his immature owner, who whined that he did not want to run, would overcome this ordeal on his own.
‘Why are you acting like that when you run the fastest?’
…… Or maybe she just didn’t like the owner who was shaking his head even though it was an emergency.
“Ancilla. Are you really not sure? “The real reason I don’t want to play right now.”
Did she notice that her familiar was harboring her unholy questions? Cecile, who had begun to roll up the hem of her skirt and regain her bearings, spoke to Ann Silas as she heard the horrendous sound of her horse’s hooves approaching her.
-Wasn’t it because He was protecting her dignity? Well, I wonder if there is any need to maintain my dignity when it is not in front of my husband. Isn’t it too late to be rude now? There are some ugly things I have done so far.
“You are right. Actually, Julius is not with me right now. There is no reason to maintain dignity. “I just have to kill all the witnesses who saw my undignified appearance.”
-…… Yes? No, I’m going to kill everyone who even sees you running.
“But there is another biggest reason why I am reluctant to run.”
-When you go for s*xual activity, you just fly away.
“Because, because. “If you run around in a place like this.”
Cecil, who had started to put strength on her legs as if she would jump out at any moment, slowly lowered her waist. Now, the remaining distance from the crazy Bicorn who hates pure love is only a few meters.
The time for her to throw away all dignity and run away was just around the corner.
-What if you run around?
Ann Silla asked her last question to her master, who would soon be wandering around the palace with a strange-looking high-ranking demon on her tail.
At her question, Cecil blushed and muttered as if she was a little embarrassed for some reason.
“…… It gets ugly.”
-Yes? Therefore. Running around doesn’t really damage the owner’s complexion.
“… Lee is getting ugly.”
-Huh? What makes it ugly?
“If you keep running around, your legs will gain muscle! Then your legs will look ugly! Julius likes his legs to be a bit meaty! “I like soft and soft muscles more than hard muscles!”
Oh, really! Why are you asking such an embarrassing question?
──Quaaang!
With those words, Cecil started running in front of her, emitting a roar that seemed to shatter her entire hallway.
-Hey!
Her two-legged beast, “Rang Sahil,” Who was charging at her from behind with the force of cutting her in two, also chased after Cecil, who started sprinting at her full speed, with her earlobes dyed red, and her powerful tossing. Presented. It seemed as if the competitive spirit had been ignited by the unexpected situation in the race.
“Julius. If you get lost, you have to stand still. Even if a suspicious woman offers her milk, she must never follow it—!”
Where did they sell their words about dignity?
The void is eating away at the world, and a country’s palace is completely swallowed up by a high-ranking devil, in a disaster that can safely be called a crisis of world existence.
A high-ranking demon who has lost her husband races through the palace corridors in search of her lost husband. While saying things that are extremely malevolent and childish.
-… ….
Ahn Sil-la, who watched the entire scene from this space in the shadows, has nothing to say.
Cecil, who had been whining about not wanting to run until now, seemed to have caught fire before she knew it and started running at a level where Langsahill could not keep up. It was not absurd to see Cecil’s actions.
Her owner, Cecil, had shown such contradictory behavior more than once.
The reason she was speechless was for a more masculine reason.
This is a simple and fundamental reason.
-…… As if the owner’s dark history wasn’t enough, she also listened to her husband’s personal tastes.
I’m not curious about anything like that. Really.
It was simply because it was so embarrassing. She didn’t want to know such personal information about Julius and his wife, who made her cringe so much that her hands and feet would melt just by looking at them. Although it wasn’t a body with things like her hands or feet.
-Someday, I will definitely change her owner… Definitely.
Cecil Lionelta’s Nest general manager familiar, “Ancilla.”
She is the greatest familiar in the world, but she met her master by mistake and suddenly became responsible for Cecil’s lost ‘shame’. Even today, she quietly mutters a lament that no one can hear.
Carrying on his body the dark history of Cecil, who was embarrassed no matter where he went, he dreamed of a vain dream of changing jobs that could not be achieved.
