The Devil Who Grants Wishes

74 – Drank (1)

[Dad, I’ll massage your shoulder, so come quickly.]

[Fah, papa, faust-sama! I’ll cook for you! There are so many demon ingredients!!]

[Perhaps… did you ever have a grudge that you couldn’t achieve something in the past? Please, if you tell me that, I will help you as much as possible to resolve that grievance as a guide for poor lost souls, so please don’t hesitate and talk to me anytime.]

[Seeing that he tries not to kill people as much as possible, he seems to have been a good person at the root… Shall I go back to the great forest and find the knowledge to turn the demons back into humans?]

why are you here

There was a guy around me who wished to become rich, so I sent him to the mine, but after that, everyone’s reaction suddenly became strange.

Of course, the reaction was weird before, but it’s even weirder now.

If it was the eyes that doubted whether the Faust I knew was right, now that doubt has completely disappeared, and the place where the doubt disappeared is filled only with concern for me.

It’s so awkward because I’ve never felt the emotion of concern after possessing Faust’s body.

[The whole body is covered with shells, so it’s hard to massage… The top of the neck is fine, so you can massage the head. Now, stay still.]

[You can’t eat too much… No! You have to eat it quickly, you won’t be full of energy!!]

In particular, Lucia and Iris are so hard on themselves.

When the other two speak, they pretend to listen, but those two do not pretend to listen, and the words do not seem to pass through the eardrum at all.

I know how you feel about me… but isn’t that a bit like that?

In particular, this behavior intensified after the two of them vaguely sensed that I had become a little strange about my use of magic.

The power of the magic remains the same, and the accuracy and complexity remain the same, but it is obvious that I have become tired because I have to concentrate my mind more when using magic.

“Haaa…”

In any case, being in the hero’s party all the time made me feel very uncomfortable and felt like I was sitting on a cushion of thorns, so if someone around me made a wish, I responded to it as best I could and ran away.

That’s right… It’s been a long time since I’ve been favored, so I feel rather uncomfortable with favor, what the hell is this.

“Ugh… Uh, where do you feel uncomfortable?”

“…No, I’ve been thinking about something else for a while. Say it again.”

“N, yes… devil. So I’ll give my soul, so I can play rich and eat money for the rest of my life–“

Yes, you are also going to mine.

In the past, I would have been annoyed if there was a writer who made a wish like this, but these days it’s nice to be comfortable.

I could just send them to the mines without thinking.

“Ugh… I’m Aigokeros. Faust-sama’s message—”

“So the demon I sent is dead?”

Belial, who did not need to perform any rituals to his subordinates, interrupted Aigokeros by waving his hand roughly in the air.

Of course, that’s not the only reason.

In the relationship between demons, where strength is etiquette, law, and power, the devil has the right to do this to all other demons.

“…He’s alive and well.”

“Really? Unsurprisingly.”

Belial, hearing what Aigokeros said, made a slightly surprised expression.

I will die regardless of which demon I send, so I sent an arch demon that can withstand Faust’s attack for a moment, but I’m alive and well? Even the demon you sent didn’t come back to report?

There is only one explanation for this.

Unlike all the wishes of other demons so far, Faust is unexpectedly merciful and generous.

“It seems like you’ve brought something you couldn’t say to me.”

And, in other words, it also means that he brought information or a message that if he reports on it, he will almost certainly die.

What a moving, no, stupid scene is this?

A demon thinking of other demons, isn’t it like himself?

“Seeing that you’ve come in person like this, you’re saying you’re quite confident, right? Tell me once.”

“…”

Of course that is that and this is this.

Belial won’t kill Aigokeros because he has to tell Faust what he’s saying, but on the other hand, he intends to do anything but kill him.

To dare not come directly to the demon god herself and send her retinue, because even that Serapia came directly, no matter how strong she is, this is something that must be respected.

“…My master refused the Demon God’s offer to give him the title.”

“That’s natural. There’s no reason for you to come here yourself.”

To think that he came himself in place of the Arch Demon, who had only been sent to tell him that, Belial ponders seriously whether or not Aigokeros is making fun of him for a moment.

But that worry soon fades away.

For anyone to see, this demon is clearly being overpowered by himself.

Belial laughs inwardly as she recalls the image of an immature demon who is so self-confident even until she sees herself.

“Come on, tell me.”

But that is it and this is this.

If you really don’t know, you don’t know what you don’t know, because this is obviously deception and insult.

If an ordinary demon had done something like this, simply killing it would not be enough.

He would have cut off his limbs, removed his five senses, sealed his magic, and cast immortality magic to live forever.

However, Belial, who tries to make the most of the connection with Faust, manages to suppress the urge to touch Aigokeros in front of her eyes.

“…My master, Faust-sama, said that if you were to come under him, I would fully consider it, but the opposite is impossible.”

“…”

But no matter how much it is, Belial never expected such extreme words.

Isn’t this… not just an insult, but a full-blown fight?

Belial only now vaguely understands why Faust sent his followers instead of coming directly.

If he said something like this directly to his face, he would definitely get hit and run, so he tried to have a conversation without seeing his face as much as possible.

“Yeah, I get it roughly. What’s wrong with you having an ugly owner?”

Of course, Faust did not come directly because there was simply no way to go to the Pandemonium, but Belial is mistaken because it is impossible to think that there is no way for Faust, who is so strong in his family.

I was afraid to say these things face-to-face, sending my followers away. It’s to the point where the family is pitiful.

But… no matter how pitiful he is, he cannot be forgiven.

“To say you’re an ugly master, that—- what!?”

Kwaaa!!

Belial’s magic mine strikes Aegokeros.

If I had to say something like this, shouldn’t I have run away on my own?

Belial felt worse than ever before, as it was clear that this group also looked down on him, as seen from the fact that he had come to deliver the message himself after carrying out orders far away.

Even more so than when Serafia invaded the demon realm and ran a mess.

“Kuhh…!”

“Even if I get a backlash, even if the underworld is broken, I’ll go directly to the car, so I’ll guide you to your master’s place… No, it’s annoying, so I’ll just look at your memories.”

Aigokeros, who has become quite strong here and there, has become strong enough to withstand Belial’s sudden attack, but being able to withstand it does not mean that it is nothing.

Aigokeros, who has a painful expression, hurriedly sets up a shield and prepares to escape to the underworld, and Belial looks at Aigokeros like that and feels as if he is watching a child play tricks.

“But… what should I do now?”

“what?”

“Is it right to continue wandering around the world aimlessly and saving the cities that have fallen to the devil? I think I need to create a purpose or set up a route… Umm…”

Meanwhile, Lena, who is constantly wandering around, has a fundamental question.

It’s a party, but this party has no purpose. Just wandering around the world and killing demons and monsters, how could this be called an adventure?

“I think this is enough.”

“Isn’t purifying demons rewarding enough?”

Of course, Iris and Celestine couldn’t quite understand Lena’s question.

Read from noble mtl dot com

Killing demons can be used as a purpose in itself, as it can make sacrifices and purify the world.

“What’s enough, to put it mildly, it’s just a bunch of vagrants on the prowl. Does Lucia think so too?”

“Uh… is that so?”

“Yes, it’s better to move with a purpose in mind. If it’s to kill the demons you encounter along the way, isn’t it the intention of going around the world without any traffic lines just to defeat the demons?”

Iris and Celestine, who were about to say that it was their intention, can’t finish their words properly when they see Lena who is so energetic.

Of course, that’s not the only reason.

Lena’s question is also correct.

No matter how much it is for justice, if there is no proper circulation, it cannot be properly done for justice.

“First of all… why don’t we move Arn to a safe place?”

“That would be great. Aren is too weak to be with us. After that… Okay, would you like to go to the land of demons?”

“Are you a demon?”

“Yes, those poor people whose ancestors were afflicted with demons. Now that the whole world is suffering from demonic attacks, I think we should find out what they’re thinking.”

And we also have to prevent the massacre of the demons from happening due to retaliation.

At Celestine’s words that followed, the other three girls nodded and agreed.

Everyone can expect that something terrible will happen against the demons, who are discriminated against because they have demonic blood.
