96 – My Wife is the Devil (3)
Cecil’s secret place can be reached by passing the doll exhibition area of the [Julius Special Hall] And walking deeper.
-Collection storage room-
From Noble mtl dot com
The flames burning on candles hanging all over the walls, and the air seeping through the nasal passages.
Julius is slowly taking in this lonely space, where even a transparent and long glass box without a single speck of dust has a sense of silence, in his eyes that seem to be made of melted gold.
One step away from the storage room.
Standing blankly on the threshold.
“Why don’t you just stand there like a stick and take a look? “Aren’t you curious about what treasure your wife has hidden away?”
A woman’s voice coming from behind a large glass box placed in the middle of the storage room.
The elegance and elegance contained in each word seeps into your ears and brings peace to your mind.
“…… Not really.”
Julius turned his gaze towards the direction from which the voice came and opened his mouth.
Beyond the transparent glass box, the appearance of a brown-haired devil gesturing towards her with the corners of her mouth raised slightly comes into view.
“I don’t want to intrude on Cecil’s private life.”
He is the pinnacle of all demons in the world, and is also another personality of the saint’s daughter, Cecil Lionelta.
It was the great devil Nirhil.
“Oh my. “Is a woman’s inner flesh better than a hidden treasure?”
In response to Julius’s indifferent answer, Nirhil gently covered her chest and smiled.
It was a very mischievous smile, like a mischievous one. However, the soft feminine lines revealed over the thin dress she was wearing added an adult touch to that smile.
“… ….”
It is truly alluring.
But it’s so outrageous. My whole body twitches at the provocative attitude.
When I saw the sly smile on his lips, I had the urge to give him some honey chestnuts.
However, Julius did not fall for Nirhil’s provocation.
Since ancient times, composure has been a time-honored virtue of the Heretic Questioner.
“Is it really refreshing to display it?”
“Isn’t this what you gave me?”
“…… “I didn’t mean to hold an exhibition.”
Instead, Julius pointed at the pajamas in Nirhil’s hand and scolded him dissatisfiedly.
To be exact, looking at the words written on the chest of the pajamas.
-Cecile is Julius’s own female puppy.
-Sweet milk comes out!
“But what if someone sees it?”
In fact, that was the reason why he could not hastily enter this space called the collection storage room.
Those outrageous words engraved on the white and soft pajamas in Nirhil’s hand.
A little while ago.
The result of listening directly to the words of the devil who asked for an autograph without thinking.
“…… ? What are you talking about? “Do you really think it’s necessary to throw away such a valuable item?”
“…… “I guess I lost my mind for a moment.”
Why on earth did he write such a strange phrase as he asked?
Why do you always show your careless side in front of Cecil? Reiterating these regrets over and over again, Julius walked slowly and carefully towards Nirhil.
It would be a disaster if you used magic and hid it in a place where it couldn’t be found.
Julius wanted to erase the dark history that he had arbitrarily committed a little while ago.
“If it’s a sign, I’ll do it again.”
“I don’t like it.”
“It’s not such a vulgar phrase. “I’ll write you another great quote.”
“Aren’t you saying you don’t like it?”
“…… Then, at least for the exhibition-“
“Ah. A little! You’re persistent. This is mine now. It’s me! This is Cecil Lionelta’s collection! “Do you think it makes sense to be such a man and give gifts and then take them away?”
“… ….”
Hmph!
As if Julius’ desperate plea was none of his business, Nirhil snorted and carefully placed the pajamas in his hand into a large glass box.
Fussuk─
According to the laws of nature, the pajamas fall miserably to the bottom of the box.
“Yep.”
But eventually. Nir Hill clicks the door to her glass box shut.
Surprisingly, a negligee nightgown with lots of white frills slowly floated and floated in the air.
It looked as if clothes had been put on a transparent mannequin.
“This is forever. I will keep it for a long time. Oh, of course, if you ask me to wear it to bed, I can wear it. “It may be a magically cloned copy.”
“Huh.”
…… In the end, I guess I’ll have no choice but to use the last resort.
Instead of putting out his pajamas, Julius narrowed his eyes as he glared at Nirhil, who was displaying them in front of him as if showing off.
“…… Sorry, but I will discard that. “I guess I lost my mind for a moment.”
Just-
She gently extends her hand towards the cabinet and flicks her fingers.
Small sparks start flying from the flame in the heart, and soon the pajamas displayed in the decoration cabinet are engulfed in golden flames and begin to burn brightly.
Growing──
It only took about a second for the pure white frilly silk pajamas to turn into a handful of ash.
It was a perfect surprise attack that caught off guard and could not be prevented even by the great devil’s transcendent reflexes.
“What, what! “What are you doing by giving me a gift and then burning it?”
Nirhil shouted as if it were absurd, looking at the pajamas that had been instantly reduced to ashes by Julius’ sacred flame.
“Hmm.”
After erasing the dark history, I felt refreshed.
It was a pity for Nirhil – Cecil -, but Julius could not bear to see pajamas with such vulgar words engraved on them displayed so proudly.
…… If you hadn’t written that phrase in the first place, there wouldn’t have been a need to go through all this trouble.
“Well, it’s done. “Because that doesn’t mean you can get rid of your pajamas anyway.”
“…… What?”
In a transparent glass box.
Julius, who was smiling with satisfaction as he looked at the ashes that were his pajamas, frowned at Nirhil’s extremely relaxed attitude.
I thought he was going to go on a rampage for burning his pajamas without permission. It was completely different from what I thought.
“Even if I live for eternity, I still can’t surpass you, right? “I can at least protect the precious gift I received from you.”
Nirhil, who said that, slowly began to raise his head without taking his eyes off Julius, who was tilting his head as if he had no idea.
“It was burned with sacred flame. No matter how great your magic is, recovery is impossible.”
“Julius. You have a very narrow perspective. “When dealing with beings who practice magic, such fragmented thinking usually leads to unpleasant results.”
“… ….”
Nirhil continued to open his mouth with a stern expression, like a mother admonishing her child.
“I know what your concerns are.”
“… ….”
“Face to face with my dear father, Saint Erman. “You must be worried about that.”
Tak─
Nirhil’s slender fingers touched something located in the upper corner of the glass box. It looked exactly like a dial, with layers of silver discs attached.
“… ….”
“I know why your head is full of questions. “I guess it’s because of what I heard from Lionelta.”
My sister probably only told me about the saint’s past history. Is not it?
Drurrur─
The sound of something moving together in a precise manner.
Nir Hill naturally changed her topic from her pajamas to Erman and turned the dial on the glass box with one hand.
“…… Right.”
Responding to Nirhil’s words, Julius glanced at the glass box from the corner of his eye.
I don’t know what kind of harmony was created, but the pajamas burned with sacred flame were floating in the air just fine.
“The reason my sister only told me that is simple. “It is to prevent prophecy, or predestination, from occurring.”
“…… Planned harmony?”
“Well, before we talk about that. Let’s move places for a moment. Anyway, I can’t stand here and talk about such an important story. Huh?”
After circling the large glass box decorated with pajamas and checking that there were no problems with the contents, Nirhil walked towards Julius and spoke.
Looking at his light steps, as if he were flying through the sky, he must have felt better after protecting the pajamas with the vulgar words engraved on them from Julius.
“That’s right.”
And while looking at Nirhil, Julius nodded his head without hesitation.
The shame and curiosity about pajamas had suddenly disappeared from my mind. I was easily taken over by the Great Devil’s clever speaking techniques.
It was the moment when another Cecil & Nirhil collection was added.
***
…… Come to think of it, I forgot to ask about pajamas.
Looking at Nirhil eating strawberry yogurt right in front of him, Julius suddenly remembered the pajamas that were on display in the center of the “Collection Storage Room.”
“As expected, strawberry yogurt is delicious any time you eat it. “Milk doesn’t taste good, though.”
“… ….”
Currently. Julius and Nirhil have just moved to a cafe commonly seen on the streets of Darkana.
Of course, I didn’t leave Cecil’s nest and go to a real cafe, I just came to the “Previous Date Spots” Area inside the “Julius Special Hall”.
According to Nirhil, inside the “Special Hall” There are complete copies of not only this cafe, but also the garden where Cecil confessed her pregnancy, the newlywed house located on the outskirts of Darkana, etc., But there are also just portraits, statues, etc. Julius, who was thinking about the collection, was purely amazed.
Perhaps it was because he was a high-ranking devil who had stepped into the divine realm, and indeed, collecting collections, which was his hobby, was literally on a different level.
“…… So, I really can’t throw away your pajamas-“
“Yes! Now that I’ve received the payment, I guess I’ll have to give an answer. Why did I appear again? And why did Sister Lionel Tah only recite to you, Julius, ‘Erman’s way to win’ and her father’s past history?”
When Julius brought up the topic of pajamas again, Nir Hill even threw away the delicious yogurt he was eating and forcibly cut her off.
It seemed like he wanted to display pajamas with some really vulgar writing on them.
“… ….”
“First, before speaking, let me ask a question. Julius, what do you think is the most important thing in forming a human being?”
“…… “It is spiritual and physical.”
The topic has naturally changed again.
Julius pondered the answer to Nirhil’s question with his hand between his eyes for a moment, then opened his mouth with difficulty.
“That’s right. To be precise, humans are beings without spirit, so it is correct to say that they are only memories and flesh.”
“…… “That’s right.”
Julius nodded his head obediently at Nirhil’s words.
“And among them. In particular, memory is closely related to the personality of a being.”
Yum yum─
Nirhil worked his magic and created strawberry yogurt on the table again.
It was quite surprising that even though yogurt went into my mouth at the same time as I spoke, my pronunciation was somehow not muffled.
“Let me give you an example. “Here, there is a truly handsome man.”
Nir Hill poked the exact center of her table with her finger, wiping the strawberry yogurt from the corner of her mouth.
“… ….”
When she lowered her gaze slightly from looking at Nirhil, the figure of a blond-haired man with a sour expression caught her eye.
The portrait of Julius was suddenly engraved on the table, centered around the devil’s finger.
“This man loved his wife very much. “She was the most loving wife in the kingdom.”
“Isn’t this just me?”
“But one day, an evil devil placed a curse on him.”
“I don’t get cursed.”
──Bang!
“…… It was the curse of becoming a woman. “The most handsome man in the kingdom suddenly became the most beautiful woman in the kingdom.”
Did you find Julius obnoxious as he kept giving absurd answers?
Nirhil, who was moving her fingers and drawing a beard on his portrait, made a pouty expression and slammed her table once! She knocked.
“… ….”
I guess I should keep my mouth shut.
Julius broke into a cold sweat as he looked at the portrait of himself, who had changed from a man to a woman in the blink of an eye.
Although her body was impervious to magic and curses due to her divine power, her presence somehow sent a chill down my spine. It was her instinct as a man.
“…… Ah Mr. This isn’t it. “Because you keep saying stupid things, the conversation gets diverted.”
“… ….”
“Anyway. If the body changes suddenly like this. Are humans really the same as their previous selves?”
A question that makes you think quite philosophically. However, Julius opened his mouth right away without much hesitation.
“The inside of a human being is more important than the outside. “I don’t know what you think, but at least I think we are the same.”
“I think so too. Well, it would be absurd to say that they are completely the same, but what is the point of saying that they are different?”
As if it was a satisfactory answer, Nirhil nodded with a happy smile.
The picture on the table suddenly showed Julius and Cecil touching each other’s noses.
“But memories are different. “Memories have a more drastic and profound effect on personality than on the body.”
“…… “It’s a memory.”
Nir Hill opens her mouth to whisper, leaning out her upper body with her arms resting on the table.
The sweet scent of milk wafting from the back of her neck clears Julius’ mind.
“…… Hmm.”
Somehow, I felt like I had a vague understanding of why Nirhil appeared again.
“The story was long, but the point is simple. The reason I reappeared. “The reason why Cecil Lionelta split my personality into two again.”
This is because the void is getting closer.
As she spoke incomprehensibly, Nirhil smiled a bewitching eye smile.
I didn’t even know that my nose was full of strawberry yogurt.
