121 – My wife is the devil (27)
#My wife is the devil (27)
A corner of the Spiral Palace decorated with the soft blue light of dawn.
Feeling with my skin the air filled with strange tension and silence, which can be considered an appropriate term for the calm before the storm.
Cecil was deep in thought, looking at the spotless white marble reflected in her large walled eyes.
‘Magi… It’s getting darker.’
To the point where I can’t control it.
I’ve never had anything like this before.
“… ….”
Looking at the marble with a grid pattern engraved on it.
Cecil is contemplating the demonic energy residing in her body with her arms crossed.
Cecil’s mind, which had always been filled with only her husband, Julius, was now, quite unusually, filled with things about herself.
‘There’s no way I can become this strong just because the void is getting closer.’
There must be a more direct reason.
There is a clear and intuitive reason.
Cecil placed her hand on her smooth chin, just like Julius usually did, and the corners of her eyes calmly sank.
The tingling tension flowing through the skin moderately stimulates the brain.
Cecil, who becomes extremely lucid only when Julius is not around, picks out several assumptions that are likely to be suspicious.
…… Also… Is it because of ‘that’?
I don’t think there is any other reason than that.
After a moment of deliberation.
Soon, only one word remained in Cecile’s mind.
His damn childhood friend and fire fox.
It was something I had guessed before meeting with the special Heretic Questioner Enin Kaitel.
“…… “The power of God.”
Sigh.
I felt the texture of my pure white blouse, which had a very pleasant chill, perhaps from the cold morning air.
Cecil lifted her right hand and gently placed it on her chest.
Excited.
Excited.
Every time I breathe.
Every time I blink again.
I could feel my heartbeat getting louder and the dark demonic energy in my blood and flesh gradually becoming stronger.
Excited.
Excited.
It is a monotonous beat that elevates the level of the devil named Cecil itself.
A countdown to Cecil’s back, telling him to cross a line that even Julius cannot control.
“…… “The night before.”
Not magic or the power of angels.
A visible ‘miracle’ that only selected beings can embrace in their hearts.
God’s Power “Eve”.
Until now, it only moved when the pure human Cecil died and when the half of itself in Erman’s heart was revealed.
The power of God, in the form of a platinum-colored sphere split in half, was pulsating within Cecil’s heart.
“…… “Now?”
On a topic that has never moved before?

When what I had only vaguely guessed turned out to be true, a feeling of embarrassment spread through my heart.
A sensation beyond the five senses that only exists in devils is conveyed.
Cecil’s large eyes slightly wavered at the noise of countless small cogwheels rotating together and the specific image of the power called “Eve” That was automatically drawn in her mind accordingly.
‘…… Why suddenly? ‘It increases the power of dirty devils and such.’
I definitely would have been disqualified that day.
“… ….”
The power of God that looks like an antique pocket watch made into a sphere.
「Eve」.
Unlike other powers, Eve, a special power with an extremely clear ‘form’, is only Cecil’s father. It was a power created for Saint Erman.
So.
The current eve of Cecil’s heart, split in half, was a symbol of Cecil’s own corruption and original sin.
It was a permanent stigma given to Cecil, who turned from a human to a devil of her own will, willing to go to great lengths to win love.
That is why, in the countless regressions that have occurred so far, the eve has never once allowed Cecil any power beyond ‘return’.
Because she lost her qualifications.
Because she abandoned her nobility and humbled herself.
Because I was so crazy in love that I stopped using any means to achieve that love.
And at the end… ….
Even that love.
Because it will degenerate into a desire for possession mixed with ugly selfishness.
The eve, immersed in her foul essence, never helped the poor love-mad devil wandering through time.
“Now…… “Are you trying to punish me?”
Are you telling me to destroy her innocence with him with her own hands?
In the end, my love was not pure love, but merely possessiveness. Do you want to tell me this?
That kind of thing… ….
It’s so cruel.
But it came at the very end.
Now that he has faced a long history of evil, he is trying to give Cecil this great power.
No matter how you look at this, it was the power of God laughing at Cecil.
Either that or else.
“Or. Are you also dyed?”
Julius Tapnel intact. Cecile’s desire to own something as her own even stained the power of God.
Either way, it didn’t feel very pleasant.
So, Cecile raised her right hand, which felt her heartbeat, and roughly mussed her shiny brown hair.
Snort.
Hair as soft as silk embroidered the air in accordance with Cecil’s rough hand gestures.
Her body odor, which had the scent of warm milk, suddenly became angry and strong.
“…… It’s annoying.”
I deliberately made Julius’ favorite scent come out of his body.
I was even more annoyed because the person who was supposed to enjoy that body odor was not there.
Cecil’s beautiful eyebrows became slightly pointed.
“…… Excuse me. Well, that’s what I’m saying. Why did the tentacles suddenly disappear? Ho, is it all over? Is the situation over? “Operation over?”
What is he saying again?
The work hasn’t even started yet, but what is the end?
As I was getting irritated with the power of a half-god, unable to figure out whether it was trying to irritate me or whether it had some other intention, I heard a ridiculous nonsense coming from behind me.
She narrowed her eyes and slightly turned her head to see the half-and-half monster stomping its feet with a restless expression on its face.
A cocky firefox who goes around talking nonsense about how he is Cecil Lionelta’s only friend.
It was Enin Kaitel, a special Heresy Questioner.
“…… End? What’s over? Ah~ Yes, unrequited love for that mediocre Julius? What should I do because I’m sorry? “Julius is already my husband.”
He looked so good with his weird, half-half hair without any flaws, so just looking at his face made me feel grumpy.
His father and his power like a serpent. As Cecil was assessing the intention of the night before, childish words filled with the intention to deceive came out of Cecil’s mouth.
“What, what?! “What is that all of a sudden!”
“…… Okay. Julius is mine.”
Seeing Enine pouring out words with her mouth open as if she was embarrassed, a deep sense of satisfaction gushed from deep inside her heart.
I only said the name Julius, but the corners of my mouth trembled like an idiot.
Her worries from just a moment ago were colorless, and a voice in her head said, ‘Stay. Now that she thought about it, there was nothing wrong with her trying to have Julius, right? It’s not like I’m trying to make him my exclusive slave. It just keeps me from going out of the house. ‘I just want you to stroke my head in bed all day.’ A thought crept into my mind.
Julius too… Surprisingly, I don’t quite like it──
“─No! “They say a woman who keeps trying to restrain her man gets tired of it quickly!”
I almost got into big trouble.
As I become stronger, bad thoughts keep coming to my mind.
She must be a good wife, Cecil.
Otherwise, you will be abandoned by Julius.
“…… But now I’m a little stronger than Julius.”
…… Are you just going to commit it?
No, no, no. My love is not that kind of selfish love.
Come to your senses, Cecil.
She turned her head to the right and smiled heartily.
Cecile turns her head to the left again and hits me on the head.
As her status as a demon increased, she gradually became more faithful to her own desires, and now she was desperately fighting against the darkness within her.
So, it is impossible to give a proper answer.
Even if you try to answer, you quickly end up going astray. Normal conversation was not possible.
“Oh, no! That ended a long time ago! Not that! Ah, the devil! High Demon!”
As if there were two personalities—in reality, Cecil is the demon Cecil and the human Cecil. She has two personalities─ Enin suddenly made a fuss, waving his hand in front of Cecile, who was repeating the question to herself.
“I am that high-ranking evil man. What do you want to end? It’s no use finding fault with him and trying to drive a wedge between him and me. “Julius has already accepted me, the devil.”
Percussion──
Cecile lifted her head as she swatted away Enin’s hand, who kept making frantic gestures in front of her.
“No matter how much you try to covet my position, it’s no use. I am a high-ranking devil. It’s an immortal being. “You, who will grow old in less than a hundred years, are not a woman worthy of being touched.”
“Now, what are you talking about? Not you! Tentacles, tentacles! “The tentacle suddenly disappeared!”
With an arrogant expression on his face, Enin stuck out his chest and cut off Cecil, who was about to start a speech.
She pointed to the white marble hallway floor, pounding her chest as if asking her to come to her senses.
“The tentacle that ate the palace is definitely a high-ranking devil! But suddenly, suddenly, the tentacles trembled and disappeared! Did you do this? “If you didn’t do it, did Julius do it?”
Tentacles?
It disappeared in a flash?
What are you talking about?
When Enine said that the tentacles that had been wriggling around the area just a moment ago had disappeared, Cecil slowly lowered her head and checked the ground beneath her.
The brown shoes wrapped around small feet caught my eye.
The sole of the shoe was slightly worn, showing that it was quite old.
‘Now that I think about it… In addition to the rocket, I think I should put a permanent preservation spell on the shoes as well. ‘I received this as a gift from Julius on the 187th day we dated him.’
A glorious anniversary, the 187th day since I first dated Julius.
I went to the night market secretly holding hands with him and received a pair of shoes as a souvenir.
Cecil wiggled her toes slightly as she looked at the shoes filled with memories that brought a happy smile to her face just by looking at them.
“…… Flaw.”
A foolish laugh escaped uncontrollably.
Next.
Cecile lowered her head with a warm smile on her lips, and her gaze moved to the floor where her flat-clad feet were stepping.
The smooth, spotless marbles were showing a bluish appearance in the light of dawn.
Even though it had been 500 years since it was built, it was so well maintained that its entire face was visible like a mirror.
“Ketya Hill…… “There isn’t any?”
The problem was that this marble floor was actually something that shouldn’t be seen right now.
The Spiral Palace, made of the same marble as the Heavenly Temple, is clearly a high-ranking demon of the deep sea. It would have been reduced to a new body for Katya Hill.
It would be normal if you could see red tentacles instead of pure white marble.
Cecil slowly blinked her eyes.
Then he raised his head and turned his gaze to Enin.
“Why isn’t this here?”
Cecil tilted her head as she finally realized that the tentacles that had wrapped around the entire palace had disappeared.
