The Devil Who Grants Wishes

91 – Choice (5)

The days at Katara passed very quickly.

Of course, each day is only two weeks, but rather than wandering here and there without a goal like before, as I definitely set the next city as my goal and move, I had a goal, so the time I felt was quite fast.

It wasn’t just targeting the city that affected the felt time.

“Come on, eat this too.”

“This too.”

“I’m full…”

This is how the existence of Irene appeared.

Up until now, the warrior party, that is, Lucia, Iris, Celestine, and Lena, were completely equal to each other, and perhaps because of that, there was no sense of discomfort.

Of course, it would be easier for human relations if everyone was on an equal footing, but Lucia and Iris had feelings for me, so the fact that they were on an equal footing created a problem.

But Irene is different.

Because she joined later, she doesn’t fit in well and occupies a low position in the party, and above all, she feels like a cute little sister.

No matter how strong she is, she is just a younger sister, so everyone including me is having fun without noticing the passage of time thanks to Irene.

“Come on, open your mouth.”

“Sleep, wait… Whoops…”

Everyone who heard that because they were always demons, they couldn’t go to an orphanage and couldn’t work, so they picked up food waste and ate.

At first, Irene said she was full without eating, so everyone including Lucia said it was okay and passed it on, but after realizing that it was her own way of refusing food offers because she felt burdened, everyone is no longer deceived and forced to feed them. .

It was the first time I had ever seen Lucia make such an expression. After all, it would have been nice to make a younger brother by adoption or something.

If so, Lucia’s personality could have improved a lot… It’s too late to regret it now, but I can’t help but regret it.

“Oh, I see the next city.”

“already?”

“Come on, do well!!”

As there is no boring corner like this, as I said before, everyone’s feeling time seems to be quite fast. Seeing that there is not a single complaint about walking across the continent on two legs.

The warrior party who discovered the next city supports Irene and pushes her back.

“…Yes, I’ll do well.”

Of course, Irine has nothing to do with the city anymore.

Irene wants to stay at this warrior’s party a little longer, but since she is an adolescent, she doesn’t show her pride, so she leaves the party and heads to the city.

Of course, not only me, but everyone in the warrior party noticed this, but they ignored it and deliberately urged Irine.

I’ve hinted at why she’s doing this once before, and Irene wants her to be honest with her feelings.

Wow, everyone has a bad personality.

**********

[Now there is only one left.]

A lion’s head made of locusts emits a horrifying noise in front of the quiet city.

However, no one is terrified, even though it sounds so horrifying.

No, it’s exactly that I can’t shake.

[It should have been like this a long time ago.]

Because not a single demon is listening to Apollyon’s voice.

The demons that were filling the city became just meat and degraded to be food for locusts, and Apollyon is satisfied looking down at such a sight.

The way to create the power of demons is to put the vast majority of demons under one’s control.

However, it is not always necessary to be dominated by all demons.

For example, reducing the number.

You don’t have to take the oath of allegiance one by one, you can kill all the demons to reduce the number of demons and then take the oath of allegiance from the remaining demons.

Realizing this, Apollyon suppressed the energy of the devil as much as possible, stopped working, and began to massacre in this way.

[Those demons are annoying… but I can’t help it, time is life now.]

Of course, if he behaved like this, the energy of Apollyon, who is good at stealth, would spread in all directions and would soon be discovered by Faust on the same continent, but Apollyon was fully willing to accept that.

As much as he would die if he stayed still, speed was the most important thing to Apollyon right now, so he had to finish conquering the continent as quickly as possible.

Apollyon’s idea can be seen as a bit hasty and short-sighted, seeing as many cities have sworn allegiance to Irene but are not paying attention to it at all, but that is a big problem as Apollyon already has a method in mind. It doesn’t work.

“Apollyon.”

[…]

At that moment, someone calls Apollyon’s name, and Apollyon slowly moves his sights in the direction of the voice in a panic.

No matter how careless he was, he could hear his voice from so close, because if he had been an enemy, Apollyon would have been in a very difficult situation by now.

[Capricorn… Was it sent by the demon god?]

“You know very well why I am here.”

[…why? You are truly greedy.]

It’s not sarcastic.

Apollyon sincerely doesn’t understand why the demon is interested.

It is impossible for a being that already has divine status to be interested in another divine status, since two divine statuses dwell in one mind and one body.

“Dedicate the spirit of the demon to Belial.”

However, even if it is impossible, it has already happened.

As Belial’s command, who rules over all demons, is absolute, there is no case of a demon refusing Belial, so Capricorn confidently conveys Belial’s order to Apollyon.

[refuse.]

“Okay, go ahead and be gentle—-… What?”

However, such a Capricorn’s self-confidence was shot down in an instant, as if it were only natural.

Apollyon rejects Belial’s message so naturally as if he were drinking water, and Capricorn, who doubted his own ears to see if he heard correctly, realizes that he did not hear wrongly after seeing Apollyon’s reaction.

[I signed a contract with Serafia and received power in return. If you gain the godship of a demon here, you will be equal, so how can you just hit Belial in the head?]

“crazy…”

Seeing the light of Cerapia emanating from Apollyon, Capricorn is astonished.

For a demon that can be called an aggregate of evil to use the power of light, which can be called an aggregate of saints, this would not make sense in terms of common sense.

However, since it has already happened before my eyes, it would be fair to say that common sense has collapsed, and there is only one thing left for Capricorn to do now.

getaway.

The position of the messenger who delivers the orders of the demon god in front of the traitor demon who has already decided to enmity the demon god only brings hostility.

Pareus-

“—?!”

As always, I was watching Irine capture the city and guarding the warrior party with Aigo, Flora, and Nero, but suddenly the back of my neck trembled.

The vibration that started in my head spread all over my body in an instant along my spine, the naturally released demonic energy that escaped from my body fragmented and disappeared, and the demonic sphere that always flew around me also lost its shape and tried to disperse, but soon stabilized. do.

This has only happened once in my life so far.

The Advent of the Aquileia Empire in Serapia.

“I’m sorry…!”

“this is…”

It seems I’m not the only one who felt it.

All four of them, who had been giggling and debating when Irine would confess her true feelings, were all surprised with the same reaction.

“…You must have been a precious person.”

In the original Katara story, Serapia never intervened. However, since the story has already gone wrong, there is no need to stick to the original work.

Kwu… why now?

Well, I’ve been by Irine’s side for two weeks, but I’ve already given up on stealth.

He must have been watching us from another dimension, but anyone, not Serapia, could tell that he was trying to do something.

“Everyone, get ready.”

“…Yes.”

I know roughly what Serafia is thinking.

He must have known that I was trying to gain the prestige of the demons and would interfere with that.

But if it was two weeks ago, I wouldn’t have known, but now the demon’s prestige doesn’t matter. You can’t give Irine’s life to get something like that, can you?

I was just going to continue conquering for a while and stop there when Irene becomes honest with her heart, but to show up impatiently like this… Oh, I made it myself, but I have a really impatient personality.

‘But, is this really Cerapia…?’

The power of light that you can feel once is Cerapia. But is it supposed to be the energy of cerafia?

Compared to things like Celestine’s body, Serapia’s existence that filled the islands of the Aquileia Empire, this one was too light.

You can even feel the power of darkness as well as the power of light.

It’s like… yes, when I use the time reversal gimmick, it feels like I’m using light attribute magic and dark attribute magic together.

…First of all, we need to thoroughly prepare for a response. I’m sure something happened.
