The Devil Who Grants Wishes

[I have to go away for a while, so take Nero and the star wish-gi and evacuate and push her body.]

[Yes, Faust.]

I was very worried because Seraphia’s subspace was not being properly contacted, but after Seraphia’s intervention in the summer was over, telepathy worked normally.

Aigo, who had been killed by a large-scale holy magic, and Nero and Byulbaragi, who had suffered close to dying, first telepathically ordered them to escape from the island as far as possible.

Even though I had to keep Aigo’s resurrection process as simple as possible because I had to go to save Lucia, I’m really glad that she seems to be alive and well.

By the way, it’s a starburst, the other two have full names, Aigokeros and Nero, but it’s a bit strange that only the starburst doesn’t have a name.

Giving my name my own name doesn’t seem like a courtesy to the family that has served me silently for 16 years.

“This is it.”

“Eup, eup eup!!”

Anyway, I, Lucia, and Celestine crossed the portal and came to Iris.

Celestine kept yelling at the whale whale while floating around, so she first made her telekinetically prevent her from opening her mouth.

It’s a bit cruel, but it can’t be helped.

Seeing that sensory sharing is not working properly, Iris is probably in a state of fainting.

In other words, what if you can’t keep making a lot of noise even if you’re not sure what dangerous has happened? I can’t help it.

“…it’s a fork in the road.”

After exiting the portal and walking a little, a fork in the road greets us.

tt, annoying

Had Iris been awake, she would have known where to go, but as she fainted, she didn’t know where to go to meet Iris.

If the portal had not worked properly or Seraphia had not intervened, I would have been able to go to Iris right away—

“Dad, this is it.”

“Lucia?

At that moment, Lucia proceeds to her left path as if it were natural.

It’s the first time Lucia has overtaken me.

“If you go here, she will be able to meet her.”

“…how did you know?”

“smell.”

She opened her mouth to catch Lucia in bewilderment, but Lucia replied that it was natural, and she quickly walked forward.

She can only see Lucia’s back, so she doesn’t know what kind of expression Lucia is making now.

But, she has a vague idea of ​​how she is feeling right now.

it’s pretentious

‘…I have to go.’

I was a little startled to see her daring behavior, but in the blink of an eye, Lucia was already in front of me, leaving me alone.

He seems to want to meet Iris as soon as possible.

Damn, you have a quick temper.

I have to follow you quickly.

………….

“-!!”

“…-!!”

As I walk after Lucia for a little while, I start to hear all kinds of shouts in the distance, though faint.

Pronunciation is unclear because it is too far away to fully comprehend, but I can still tell who the owners of these shouts are.

Iris’ party members and Lena.

“Lena, get out of here!!”

“Show me Iris!!”

“She would have said she couldn’t go!!”

As we focus our minds on hearing, the content of the shout begins to be fully audible.

‘…what?”

Why are they fighting?

As much as Iris is stunned, I thought something had happened at the moment when Seraphia interrupted, but everything is so fine.

No, I don’t think it’s fair to say that we’re fighting… Wait a minute.

“Lucia, stop.”

He calls out Lucia, who was just silently walking towards Iris, even though she must have clearly heard it.

Seeing that they are all alive and well, it’s not a big crisis, but fighting itself is an abnormal enough situation, so we need to find out what happened.

“…yes.”

Lucia listens to me and takes two or three steps forward, then stops with a nod of his head, and then turns his body.

Lucia’s face, which was only then revealed, was full of dissatisfaction.

If it’s wrong, it’s going to be very irritating even for me, his dad.

“Follow me for now, we must find out what happened.”

“okay.”

Lucia, who was far away, rushed to my call, and then he hid behind my back.

It’s like watching a shy dog ​​look at another dog and hide behind its owner’s legs.

He looks really cute like this… uh.

**********

“Lena, get out of the way. You have to go see Iris.”

“…how many times do you say it. Not right now.”

“No, you have to go.”

Lena and the hero’s party are facing each other.

However, the fact that Lena is holding her bow and pointing it is different from the members of the hero’s party.

She points her bow even though she’s been traveling together, which wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t a very serious thing, but sadly, now it’s the perfect fit for the serious one.

Phishwoong!

“Get away!!”

“Lena?”

‘What the hell are these children…!’

Lena, who fired her warning shot, is astonished to see the hero’s party members who she can’t understand at all.

Of course, everyone would be offended if she suddenly stopped her from going near her because she couldn’t show her precious colleague. Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t care about her companions?

So are the warriors’ comrades.

Although it has been a long time for her to return, she is concerned about Iris, who does not return, and at the same time is angry with Lena, who blocks her from going to Iris.

Crucially, however, the action lacks motivation and underlying emotion.

“If we keep coming out like that, we’ll have no choice but to raise our arms.”

“…get away.”

Lena feels like she’s seen a psychopath who doesn’t understand the feelings of others, no, she sees a lack of emotional understanding, who doesn’t even understand her own, to act as educated and blend into society. .

The status of her hero party is extremely abnormal, as she says that Lena is able to come up with similar concepts in her head even though she doesn’t know the word psychopath at all.

Tee!

“I would have told you to step back!”

Lena’s arrow is pierced in front of the feet of the brave party members.

Now that she met her for only ten days, it was her relationship, but it was a fleeting relationship for the elves who lived her long years, but Lena, who felt sympathy for her Iris, regards her as her sincere friend. have.

She couldn’t possibly have such a dangerous figure by the side of Iris and her friend.

‘These children, for sure. I have less emotion than the elves on the verge of death in the Great Forest. No, not at all.’

The reason Lena was able to recognize the ideals of her warrior party was that her character as an emotional elf was a decisive factor.

Lena, who has lived her life looking at the many people she has weak emotions, judges that she has no feelings more than her people when she sees the hero’s party members.

“Everyone, raise your arms.”

“Okay, Jack.”

‘…ね.’

never a delusion

The eyes, dubbed the spear of the soul, are an important part of the body that can literally tell the other person how they have lived and how they are feeling, but Lena can’t feel anything beyond their eyes.

Lena, unable to read anything beyond her empty eyes, concludes that she clenches her molars and that the next arrow must hit the warrior’s party members.

“With this-“

“What are you doing now?”

“ㅡ…

At that moment, she hears an unforgettable voice in her ears that she will never forget.

Lena, trying to pull her bowstring, freezes.

“Ah, Faust-sama!”

However, unlike Lena’s reaction, the reaction of the brave party members is dramatic, as if drawn in a painting.

Despite the fact that the demon’s voice contains words that basically suffocate intelligent creatures, the warrior’s party members see Faust as an opportunity to break this confrontation.

“👌👌”

“Come on, stop Lena! We’re preventing you from going to Iris!”

“Stop it?”

“Yeah!! I don’t know what happened to Iris!!”

Seeing the reaction from Faust, the hero’s party members open their mouth even more.

Without any fear, without any fear, without any reluctance, I firmly believe that Faust will solve this problem.

As always.

“Yeah, so come on—”

“Dad.”

But this time is different.

Lucia, who suddenly appeared from behind Faust’s back, glanced at the warrior party members with dry eyes, and then opened her mouth.

“Why?”

“Why are you talking to these people, no, ‘these’?”

It’s not like it’s giving me peace of mind, it’s just a pure question.

Because Lucia’s eyes couldn’t feel any personality in the hero’s party members.

To put it a little harshly, to Lucia, Faust appears to be talking to the cotton dolls.

Lucia needs to go see Iris as soon as possible, but she is a little offended to see her father wasting time with these dolls.

“Yes? No, I don’t know who that person is, but what the hell?”

“-It’s noisy.”

“What- uh-huh!?”

Jack, at the front of the hero’s party, tries to complain to Lucia with an exaggerated attitude as if he is playing a play, but is soon stopped. No, it’s actually broken.

After being pierced by the mana laser that stretched out from Lucia’s fingertips, Jack fell forward.

“Eup!?”

“Lucia!? What is this—…?”

Faust and Celestine, whose mouth is closed, are startled and bewildered when they see Lucia suddenly behaving strangely, but the embarrassment disappears in an instant.

Because the separation of body and soul is very strange.

When a life dies, the soul is detached from the body as if it were forcibly removed from the body in order to remain attached to the body even a little bit, but this is not the case with Jack.

Literally, the soul is falling away without any regrets for the body.

That’s not the only thing that’s surprising.

“…not in human form.”

The soul, which was just an intangible slime when it first came out of Jack’s body, takes on the shape of Jack only after time passes.

Faust, who had saved them several times but never saw them die, only then realizes the truth.

The warrior’s party members are one of them.

An NPC that leads Iris to proceed with the story as it is, or a doll of Seraphia.

Or both.
