The Devil Who Grants Wishes

‘…what is it, you bastard?”

Since when?

Whether alive or dead, the soul was obviously in the form of a man.

By the way, isn’t he not in human form at the moment of death like this?

You look like a demonic demon that pretends to deceive other people’s eyes openly, don’t you?

Hopefully the others… write.

“…you made a mistake.”

Like the Kingdom of Leon, there were a lot of things that went according to Noah’s story so far, so he didn’t have any doubts about the hero’s party members.

Above all, especially since they were weak enough to be easily killed by the devil in the ruins.

But… it wasn’t.

It was a wrong decision and a wrong decision.

Assuming that these are enemies, and paying close attention, I see that they are fundamentally different from ordinary people.

“Mr Faust?”

“Are you still acting?”

Literally, the sensitivity to respond to words is too weak.

Demons like me can interfere with living things by simply speaking, even if they have no intentions.

Even if I’m traumatized, I get scared and tremble with just plain words. Just like Lena over there.

But these warrior party members don’t do that. Literally, he acts in response to his words, and he doesn’t even respond to a single word from the bottom of his heart.

Just like a monster, a creature made of magic and mana.

“What the hell is that– uh-huh!?”

“Faust-sama, what are you doing— huh?!”

Once I had my doubts, only then did I see strange corners.

When you see these guys acting exaggeratedly with their acting tone, they really resemble game characters.

No matter how much we follow the original story, this is the reality, and even if there are only one or two people, there can be no one group of people with these characteristics.

I’m not sure if it’s the npc that allows the world to progress the story smoothly, or whether Seraphia, who blessed Iris, designed it from the beginning… But I can say one thing for sure.

These guys, no, these shouldn’t be left with Iris.

“Come on, let’s go to that woman.”

Seeing I subdue Iris’ party members, Lucia nodded her head satisfactorily only then, and then said so.

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

“I got it, but how did you know?”

“What?”

“That means they’re not ordinary humans.”

At my words, Lucia put on a puzzled expression.

It’s like you’re asking something obvious like that.

“Uh… just looking at it…?”

“…Hmm, I see.”

Perhaps it was possible because Lucia saw them as enemies from the beginning and looked closely at them, or did not have prejudices like mine.

And my intuition tells me it’s closer to the former, not the latter.

Everyone you see for the first time sees them as enemies… Um, even if you hate them, you should have forced them to interact with the outside world from a young age.

“Ha… ha ha…”

“Elven archer, guide Iris.”

“…

She roughly shoved the hero’s party members into the space warehouse, and then asked Lena to guide her along the way.

Of course, you can find it if you follow Lucia, but it would be better to get directions from Lena, who knows exactly where Iris is.

“Yes Yes…”

Lena used force until she said that she couldn’t send those brave party members to Iris, but now it’s not like that.

I simply nod my head and accept my request.

…Am I that scary?

Compared to those brave party members, I would look hundreds of times more terrifying and harmful to Iris.

uh, what just do it

The first meeting must have been quite strange.

“…Daddy? What else is this girl doing?”

Lucia, who is walking behind me, is interested in Lena this time.

From Iris to Celestine who is tied up here, now to Lena. I’m really curious.

“Lena.”

“When did we meet?”

“Based on the first time we met… it must have been around 16 years.”

“16 years… the same as me?”

“No, earlier.”

“Ugh…”

Upon hearing this, Lucia’s eyes widened, and then she turned her head to look at Lena, who was guiding us in her terrified state.

The emotions reflected in Lucia’s eyes are so complex and diverse that it is impossible to immediately recognize what emotions are contained therein.

**********

what…?

Where are you?

I look around and see nothing. There is only pitch-black darkness.

Even if you raise her hand and bring it to her face.

It feels as if you have completely lost your sight.

“…!”

Not even words come out.

Obviously the lungs are moving, the stomach is bulging and then shrinking again, the wind is coming out of the mouth, and the vocal cords are ringing.

It is as if the concept of sound has completely disappeared.

How did this happen?

[I, this is… ah, uh… ah ah ah…!!]

[Ha ha ha ha ha!!]

In that moment, the world changes.

The world where nothing had been seen suddenly began to take on all kinds of colors and shapes, and the world where nothing had been heard was filled with the shouts of a man and the laughter of the devil.

[The contract is different!! Didn’t you say you’d definitely save me?!]

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

My vision moves freely, and a man’s desperate voice comes out of me.

And at the end of that moving vision… A red demon with a red body and a shell like armor stands.

Not a good demon like Faust-sama, but a demon that truly plays with other people’s feelings and must be defeated.

[Yes, he saved me. You saved me, but what’s the problem? Now, look, if you see that the divine healing magic is still intact, isn’t it clearly alive?]

The devil laughs at me and then says so.

It’s not meant to convince others. In order to make fun of the other person, to get even more angry and to fall into despair, he is ridiculing and laughing as hard as he can.

[Hey, this is alive…]

[okay! The mind is also very good. Come on, look. Aren’t their eyes clearly looking at you?]

Once again, his vision moves as he pleases, and then he turns towards someone who is lying on the ground.

No… Can you really call this ‘this’ someone?

As if made up of black mucus, only half of the body was maintaining its shape, and the rest was just dripping down.

There are two human eyeballs embedded in a black sphere that looks like a head, and the eyes look at me through the eyes.

And in those eyes… there’s obviously a strong emotion in them.

I don’t know if they are resentful or if they have faith that they will solve this situation.

[Ahhh…]

I hear the devil approaching from the right, but I can’t turn his head.

There is nothing I can do with my will. can only hear or see.

Perhaps I am possessed by this person—

[Okay then. Faust, it’s time to pay the price.]

ㅡ Faust…?

Faustrani, that Faust-sama…?

I didn’t hear it wrong.

This strange experience can hardly be misunderstood, as it feels so utterly engraved into the soul.

‘…

Two hands are raised in the field of view facing only the ground.

It’s an obvious human palm.

Faust-sama must have been a demon, but what the hell is this… Maybe Faust-sama was originally a human—

[I, Mephistophelest, will fulfill the contract and take the soul of the contractor Faust.]

‘Ugh…’

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

My vision is so blurry and my mind is numb. It feels like being sucked into something.

Not only that.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

My vision, which until recently could not be moved at my own will, can now move freely at my own will.

When I turned around like that, I saw the soul of a man with a desperate expression on his face and his whole body weakened, being dragged to that demon.

I hope… that person… no, that person…

flash

‘I…’

At that moment, something extraordinary happens.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

My vision was suddenly completely dyed with a dark red light. It’s so bright that it’s hard to keep your eyes open.

[What?! What- aah!!]

All I could feel was the devastating scream that the demon made earlier.

No other sensations are felt at all. The sight, the touch, all of that.

The mind becomes clouded and distant.

It’s like being forced to sleep.

No… no… I’ll have to look a little bit more…

………….

“Hmm… Ugly than me-“

“Huh!!”

“Aww… I’m surprised.”

Suddenly, I woke up, and all I could see was a girl I had never seen before, looking down at me.

Those red eyes make me feel like they are evaluating me one by one, and somehow I get goosebumps.

The hem of the garment dug out to reveal the belly and the lower chest, and the tears that dried up on the cheeks would normally be shameful, but now there is no time to worry about such things.

Come on, come on… Let’s find Faust- Ugh!?

“Mr Faust…”

You can tell without putting your hand on Faust-sama’s brand engraved on her lower chest.

As I turned my head to where my instincts led me and my intuition led me, I saw Faust-sama, whom I had longed for, standing there.

I… you came because you were worried about me…

I’m glad you stopped thinking you were abandoned… uh…

“…Hey, I’m looking at you, where are you?”

“Faust-sama!!”

Putting away anything that was in the way in front of me, I ran straight to Faust.

Faust-sama accepts me with no expression, but I can see it.

Faust-sama was clearly perplexed by what I had just embraced.

Whoa… you’re cute.

You’ve had such a terrible past… It’s okay from now on.

From now on, I will always be by your side to care for you.
