The Devil Who Grants Wishes

96 – Irene (2)

“Abandoning it, you’d think it was abandoning any puppy.”

Irene’s words are very jumpy.

To throw it away, isn’t it because the demons see it as a pet that can’t live without it?

Even if Irene disappears, the demons will be able to live as they have lived until now.

“No, I’m not saying that. Of course, you can live without me. It’s just… I’m afraid the demons will go back to the past.”

“Is it the past?”

“See, the demons who fought to sort things out every day as long as they met each other’s eyes are bowing their heads to me peacefully.”

Oh, is that what it meant?

Mmm… well, it could be. No, it’s not at the level that can be, but it certainly will be.

Now, since Irine is the focal point, they do not fight each other and gather under Irine’s command, but if Irine disappears, they will start fighting each other again and go back to the past when they lived according to the rule of thumb.

I’ve seen such scenes a lot since I came to Katara, and Irene, who came to Katara earlier than us, must have seen them even more.

No, I didn’t see it, but I lived and experienced it myself in the world of fratricide.

“What do you want to say?”

“It’s just… I’m worried. Should I leave the Katara continent and follow my sisters, or stay here and take care of them?”

Irene, who vomited out her words as if sighing, turned her head again to look at the demons gathering towards her.

The will of innumerable demons engulfs Irene, but no fight takes place.

Taking care of her… well, why do you already feel that way at that age?

“What do you want to do, Irene?”

“I want to do both. I don’t want to be separated from my sisters. But… I don’t want to abandon the demons who will surely kill each other again if I disappear.”

The demons didn’t do anything to Irene, but Irine was thinking of the demons.

…it’s so kind that it’s Tal, uh huh…

Certainly, in the original story, what Irine was worried about happened.

After the death of Irene in the original work, the demons worshiped strength again and started attacking each other.

“You don’t have to care too much. They fight just because they like to fight.”

“I hate that. That’s why demons are isolated from the outside.”

The words [Does that mean you want to be quarantined yourself for the sake of those who are being quarantined?] filled my throat, but I barely endured it.

Irene must know that very well.

Thinking of her own people like this while receiving only hostility without receiving anything from her own people, as I said before, Irine is too nice to ride—

“It is nonsense to let Faust-sama’s servants die and kill each other.”

At that moment, Irine’s voice, speaking naturally as if there was no doubt, pierced my ears.

“…Servant?”

“Yes, since I am Faust-sama’s servant, aren’t the demons who are servants’ servants, of course, Faust-sama’s servants? Umm, in that respect, it’s going to be even harder to follow in Faust-sama’s footsteps.”

Irine’s whole body had been oozing out all kinds of worries and pain until just a moment ago, but now, as if it were a lie, only loyalty, love, and responsibility for me are oozing out.

No… it’s not suddenly sentimental, what is this all of a sudden.

“Because I belong to Faust-sama… right?”

Irine blushes and says so shyly to me. The eyes around Lucia and Iris are intensely focused on her, but Irine is even more delighted as if it doesn’t matter, or rather as if it’s even better.

How can I say… Yes, this is a very rude analogy, but it’s like an exhibitionist.

The more someone looks at you, the more you show off, the more excited you become.

Uh… um… uh…

ugh

“…This.”

Just when I was at a loss, not knowing what to say, I suddenly felt a surge of divine energy all over my body.

And that’s not all.

Even the crystals of the Divine Wisdom that I kept in storage shimmered with light and even reacted to the Divine Power that wrapped around my whole body.

“As expected… as expected…!”

Seeing me embarrassed by the sudden incident, Irine is overjoyed.

Like a child who actually meets the hero he only sees on TV, Irine is innocently delighted and at the same time moved and trembles.

“Come on, what is this?”

“I proved that I am Faust-sama’s property! Faust-sama can use the divine power generated by the demons believing in me. Even the crystallized divine power is delighted and is crying out that he wants to return to Faust-sama as soon as possible.”

Irine said that as if it were natural.

As if I was reading what was written in a book, Irine’s words did not contain a single speculation.

“…how do you know that?”

“Ah, that’s it? The more I feel this divine power, the more pleasant sensations and information I didn’t know come to mind. hehehe… It would be great if Faust-sama could feel this sensation too.”

There was madness in Irene’s eyes as she said that.

Uh… that’s divine power, right? It’s the smoke with some strange drug in it, isn’t it?

Your character has changed so much. Irene, who was agonizing over the future of her own people and comparing herself, where did she go?

**********

A few days after the extraction, the day finally came to leave the Katara continent.

As long as there is not much you can do if you only have the crystals of divine power, you have to process the crystals or use them as magical catalysts.

In order to process the Divine Wisdom Crystal, you must first go to the Wizard’s City.

But I can’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

“Are you really going to be okay?”

“Here it is…”

Like this, I have to leave Irine behind.

Irine, who traveled together in Katara and became friends with everyone, eventually decided to remain in Katara to manage the demons.

Of course, everyone, including me, was greatly disappointed, but Irine’s will was so strong that there was nothing I could do about it.

“I’m sorry, of course. But we’re not parting forever, and we can’t just abandon Faust-sama’s servants, right? Come visit us anytime, I’ll show you the changed Katara and make grand preparations.”

There is confidence in Irene’s words.

The certainty that if you have confidence, the Katara will develop remarkably to a high level, the certainty that you will meet us again.

“First of all… look. Faust, can you feel me?”

“…yes.”

Irene puts her hand on her chest and closes her eyes. It doesn’t take long for her to feel me and put a smile on her face.

It’s not an artificial smile. It’s a smile that comes naturally

“I’m not lonely, so it’s okay.”

Irene was in a state similar to that of Iris.

You can share your feelings, your senses, and your thoughts with me.

As much as it is a relationship that goes beyond a simple master-servant relationship and is connected to the status of God, Irene can feel everything about me anytime, anywhere.

Of course, so am I.

You can feel Irene’s presence, body temperature, senses, and emotions anytime, anywhere.

To compare it to, it feels like Irine is being carried on my back or held in my arms, so Irene must be feeling the same sensation as me.

[…Dad, quickly carve a sentence for me too. huh? Please don’t bully me.]

“…Kuk.”

And Irene’s attitude made Lucia beg her to engrave the sentence she had inscribed on Iris.

Unlike Iris and Irine, Lucia had a hard time enduring the fact that only she had nothing to do with me, and she is still depressed when she sees Irene’s actions.

That… ha… do you really have to carve it?

I’ve been fooling around at first, but it’s getting more and more difficult to hold on to.

“Now, don’t worry about me and go. I have to save the world, right?”

“…Here, if something dangerous happens, should I tell Faust right away?”

“hehehe, do you think Faust-sama will come right away before you even say it? Iris-sister knows that well too.”

“Aha.”

Iris, who was worried as she boarded the boat to see off Irene, nodded in agreement with Irene’s words in an instant.

No, not to the extent of accepting it.

Even though all the other demons were watching, Iris turned her clothes inside out and put her hand on her lower chest, and then she looked at me and smiled strangely.

Is there no one who would accept the obvious fact that an apple falls to the floor? Iris is just such a case.

“Everyone, thank you. Really… thank you very much.”

Irine, who had been chatting for a long time in such a playful way, now that it’s really time for us to leave, throws off her previous attitude and takes a serious attitude.

And, befitting that serious attitude, Irine even feels a strangely divine aura.

Looking at it like this, even though it’s only for a moment, you can instinctively realize that it’s an existence that has really accepted the Divinity into its body.

“If it wasn’t for Faust-nim and my sisters, my life would have ended terribly without seeing the light and feeling no warmth.”

“Ah, something out of the ordinary.”

“If you need my help, call me right away.

Katara’s weather was always overcast and gloomy, but that’s not the case now.

The clouds hide to reveal the sunlight, and disappear by themselves, stabilizing the climate so that the sea is not rough.

And the sunlight revealed like that wraps Irine like a halo, creating a strange sight.

How can I say… Yeah, should I say that I feel like a goddess? Not that evil goddess we have to catch, but a goddess in the true dictionary sense.
