94 – My Wife is the Devil (1)
“Huh.”
A dying moan comes from between the lips of a girl lying face down on the sofa.
The silver hair that almost reaches her shoulder length is curly and curly as if it had been burned, giving the appearance of a perm, and through the pure white dress that resembles a tunic, several blue bruises are visible.
It is a sight that makes you feel sad just by looking at it. I can’t believe that this poor girl, who could break if I even touched her, is rolling around on the sofa with such a miserable appearance.
Any man would not be able to resist without extending a helping hand.
“Don’t be harsh. Nerondir.”
However, he is a man with sharp eyes and a cold impression.
Julius Tapnel glanced at the girl and narrowed his eyebrows as if he was annoyed. He scolded me in a cold tone that felt like a cold wind blowing.
“It’s not a big deal! “I feel like I’m going to break my back!”
At Julius’s words, the girl got up from her seat, tears streaming down her face as if she felt truly wronged. But soon, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh—I’m dying. After spitting out strange words like ‘I’m going to die,’ she collapsed back onto the sofa.
Her momentary anger could not overcome the strong pain she felt in her back.
“How much does poor Cecil’s fist hurt?”
“Pity? Gaaah? “Do you think this is sweet if it has an open mouth?”
“It’s noisy. “Don’t keep trying to slander the lovely Cecil.”
“What, what? Conspiracy? Ha, me. Her!”
Julius, who was lost in thought while looking out his window, became a little angry at Neron Dir’s repeated cruel attacks.
I’m already having a hard time thinking over what Lionelta said earlier. It was because her holy sword kept whining next to her that her brain was going crazy.
For your information, as soon as Lionel Tha finished telling her story about Erman, she disappeared like the wind.
It’s obvious that even if she stays with Cecile, she’ll just fight, so she’ll be at the palace in advance. What can I say?
“From the beginning. Even if it really hurts, if you return to your sword state, there will be no problem.”
“No! I just hate her cold, hard body! …… Omg.”
When Julius told her to return to the sword, the holy sword in the form of a girl screamed involuntarily. However, she soon covered her mouth and her whole body began to tremble like an aspen.
Then, after a while, she secretly sticks her head out over the back of the sofa.
Julius, who was sitting on the window sill watching the incomprehensible sight, slowly turned his gaze toward the place where the holy sword could be seen.
I saw a door leading to the next room. This was where Cecil was.
“Cecil is sleeping soundly right now. “She tends to sleep a lot.”
“Yeah, really? Thank god. “If you go crazy again, you’ll be in trouble.”
“…… Hmm.”
It looks like fear is engraved into the bones.
Obviously, he’s still speaking harshly towards Cecil as usual, but the momentum behind it is a world away from yesterday. In short, they are bluffing.
…… It seems that the battle with Cecil, who was at the top of the high-ranking devils, was more traumatic than expected.
Cecil’s punch was her charm for Julius, but for others it was an attack at the level of death that could not be avoided.
“Hmm… ….”
No matter how hateful it may be, it would be good to offer a little comfort in times like this.
After thinking, Julius stood up and slowly walked towards the holy sword. If he was in his usual sword form, I wouldn’t have cared whether he was shaking or not, but maybe because he had transformed into a human, I felt a little pity for him.
“Nerondir. “Don’t be too afraid of Cecil.”
Julius, standing next to the head of the Holy Sword, who was lying on the sofa and fretting, opened his mouth. The tone was much warmer and more caring than before.
Actually, I had no intention of treating him this kindly, but when I saw the Holy Sword’s face, it happened automatically.
Looking closely at the girl’s face, it could be said that it resembled Layla’s. So much so that other people say they are sisters.
Perhaps, if Leila lives a life longer than my age, she will grow up like the girl ─ Holy Sword ─ who is giggling before her eyes now. For sure.
“…… “Who says you’re scared?”
The Holy Sword glanced at Julius, who had decided a little, and then pursed her lips. Her head also turned with a blunt expression.
The corners of her mouth gradually rose upward. Her facial muscles trembled and she tried desperately to block it, but it was not enough.
It was a great feeling to see Julius, who always mistreated me, become kinder.
I felt like I could understand why women give everything, including their liver and gallbladder, to bad men.
“Cecil does that because she loves me so much.”
“If you fall in love twice, everyone in the world will die.”
“I’m just saying that because I’m afraid I might be distracted by another woman.”
“How much you don’t trust her husband. “It’s really funny.”
“So don’t provoke her too much.”
“She never did anything provocative. “What can I do when she gets stimulated in her own way all the time?”
“Then you could end up in a real volcano.”
“…… “Tsk.”
The Holy Sword, who was beginning to feel flattered again by Julius’s slightly kinder attitude, was unable to respond to his last words.
A ray of cold sweat ran down my white, plump cheeks. Even though she was just lying still, her body fluttered around like a live fish.
“… “It’s a joke.”
Julius added hastily to the Holy Sword, which was reacting more strongly than expected.
I guess I had some bad memories related to volcanoes while being ‘educated’ by Cecil.
“I’m sorry. Wrong. Sorry. “I was wrong.”
However, Julius’ words did not reach the Holy Sword.
After hearing the word ‘volcano’, she just kept apologizing to someone. Deep fear began to fill the two dead, corpse-like eyes.
I guess I’m really scared of Cecil.
“Ha.”
Julius placed his hand between his eyebrows at the sight of the holy sword acting like a broken wind-up doll and let out a deep sigh.
Honestly, I didn’t understand the Holy Sword’s obscene behavior at all. Even Cecil’s anger felt like an expression of slightly spicy love to him.
The high-ranking demon’s blow, which had the power to turn an entire building into dust, was nothing more than a scream and a pounding of his chest for him, and Cecil’s powerful magic that would make an ordinary human lose their senses as soon as they saw it was also a blow to him. To me, it just seemed like a puppy doing a trick.
If humans are too strong like this, serious errors in cognition will occur.
Of course, even if there had been no error, Julius’ attitude would have been the same.
But Julius decided to appease the Holy Sword this time. He didn’t mean anything else.
This is because the Holy Sword, which only looked like a girl, looked exactly like Layla, and the Holy Sword was scheduled to play a very important role in the upcoming ‘Invasion of the Royal Palace’.
“…… Hmm.”
After finishing his thoughts, Julius stroked his chin once and then took a step closer to his trembling holy sword. He said his back was hurting, so he was thinking of giving me a massage. As it happened, Cecil was enjoying a nap right now.
“Don’t do that. Stop shaking now. Nerondi…… !”
However, Julius had to retract his soft-headed thoughts not even a second later.
I just felt it. Cecil’s eyes watching him and the holy sword.
‘When on earth did it happen?’
Slowly taking back the step he had taken towards the holy sword, Julius glanced towards the next room where Cecil would be.
Of course, because it was blocked by a wall, all that was visible was pure white wallpaper.
However, Julius’ almost magical eyesight did not miss the small hole in the middle of the wall.
“… ….”
It was a hole the size of a speck of dust, smaller than the hole of a needle. When I looked a little closer with my eyes half-open, I saw Cecil with her eyes wide open on the large bed in the next room. He looked like a doll as he didn’t even move, not even breathing.
‘I almost got into big trouble.’
The couple almost got into a fight before an important event.
After finishing assessing the situation, Julius took a step back and slowly retreated from the sofa where the holy sword was lying.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Carefulness was put into every step. Every time she moved away from the holy sword, Cecile’s breathing gradually became louder, which felt like she had become more sensitive.
Finally, when he was about seven steps away from the holy sword, the sight of Cecil, who was sighing in relief, came into the field of view of Julius, whose eyesight had been greatly strengthened.
I put my hand on my plump chest. His expression relaxed and he nodded with satisfaction.
“It’s cute.”
At the sight of some kind of doll coming to life, Julius inadvertently blurted out what was in his heart.
I wanted to run to the next room right away and poke Cecil’s soft cheeks with my finger.
“Are your ears cute? I? “Mi, mi, aren’t you crazy?”
But unfortunately, the holy sword heard Julius’ low muttering.
Where did I get my back pain and my fear of Cecil? It turns my face as red as some kind of blush.
Even while waving his arms, he seems to be secretly happy, isn’t he?
“…… !”
The worst value of a holy sword that looks like it has some kind of ax disease. However, instead of shaking his head at the Holy Sword’s behavior, Julius quickly looked at Cecil’s expression.
Ussuiiiii─────!
A face stained red just like the Holy Sword.
However, unlike the Holy Sword, which contained emotions such as shame, the emotion on Cecil’s face was pure anger.
The anger was twice as much, no, twice as much as the fight that had taken place the previous morning.
Is this really crazy──!
And that anger mixed with the demonic energy fluttering from Cecil’s body and turned into a single magic.
“Huh? What’s this. “Why the octopus legs?”
“…… Ha.”
『Summon 24 High-ranking Demons』
The most powerful power that Cecil, as a high-ranking demon, can wield.
The power to bring out from the shadows a copy of a high-ranking devil who can control the fate of a nation with just his power.
A piece of that terrifying power finally came to this world again due to the Holy Sword’s axe soldier.
“Help me! Help me! Julius!”
“… ….”
The holy sword, whose entire body is wrapped in large, wriggling tentacles, desperately reaches out towards Julius.
I lowered my gaze a little and looked at the place where the tentacles were extending, and the shadow of a small girl caught my eye.
“…… Hoo. “You were able to bring out the devil even if it wasn’t your own shadow.”
Rubbing his chin out of habit, Julius looked closely at the high-ranking demon with only one of his legs sticking out.
It was quite interesting to see magic being used in a completely different pattern than before. The screaming holy sword was no longer in my mind.
…… No. I had to not even care about it. It was obvious that if he tried to get the holy sword here, he would get his head ripped off by the great devil Cecil before he could fight Erman.
“Don’t just admire, help quickly! “Really, I’m really dying!”
“Hmm. I guess it’s because Cecile summoned him. “It looks a little cute, too.”
“What’s so cute about tentacles? …… hehehehe! This, this, this, it even has a mouth! Gaaagh!”
Julius desperately tries to ignore the holy sword, and the holy sword desperately tries to hold on to Julius.
The laughable skit between these two ended only when the Holy Sword was sucked into the swamp of shadows.
Julius, as if he were some kind of tragic heroine. The last sight of the Holy Sword, with tears rolling down his cheeks as he uttered words like ‘I believed it’, was truly pitiful.
Julius did not hold the holy sword’s hand in the end.
***
“I have to get rid of the smell of another b*tch!”
“…… I get it. Okay. So, let off steam. “Cecil.”
After that. The fact that Julius had to have some “Couple time” In the end to resolve the misunderstandings of Cecil, who was very upset, was a good story.
