episode_0043

After removing the spear that was causing pain to my stomach with Aru’s help, I immediately sprinkled recovery potion on it.

What would have happened if I hadn’t brought this? If I hadn’t had the potion in the first place, I wouldn’t have done such a dangerous thing.

The recovery potion flowed through the open wound and into the skin. The torn intestines healed moment by moment.

Aru is looking at me with concern.

“Ssueup, ah, ouch, it stings so much!”

“Kkiing… The young demon is really better now… ?”

“It should be okay. I have no desire to become a cripple.”

“Kkiing, whining… .”

Aru lowered his waist and head and placed his face on my abdomen.

A lump of watery, soft meat landed on my stomach.

“Giggle, what are you doing?”

“Umm… Lick, lick… .”

“Are you really licking it now? This and this, it’s completely done.”

“Grrr… ! I’m not a dog… !”

“Whoa, calm down. I’m afraid he’s a wolf cub, so he’s been crying and screaming and showing his teeth right now.”

“Keng… So don’t say that. ”

“That’s up to me, you kid.”

Aru curls up and licks my belly. I looked down at the figure from above and slowly lifted my hand and placed it on Aru’s head.

Aru did not reject me. Wait a minute, ‘Kkiiing…’ .’ I just stumbled and didn’t resist. This is a huge step forward.

“Now that I think about it, you said earlier that this feels good, right?”

“Quick… .”

“I can’t bear to refute it.”

Busss-.

I waved my hand like a fan and swept Aru’s hair. Aru stayed still.

Out of wicked curiosity, I pushed Aru’s head down. Although the feeling of being crushed was unpleasant enough, Aru did not struggle.

“Kkiing… Lick, lick -.”

All he does is work hard with his tongue and sweep my ugly stomach.

“It’s fun. It’s fun.”

“Keng… ?”

“Aru was fun too, right? This prank!”

“Grrr… Kkkk! Don’t play around! I hate it!”

“What are you saying, why stop doing this good thing?”

As he spoke jokingly, Aru’s face turned red. Aru bit his lower lip and struggled to speak.

“Krrrr… Oh, I was scared… ! I thought it was no joke! Kkkk… !”

“In the first place, things like this are only fun if the person involved doesn’t know about them! What fun would it be if you knew?”

“Kung! It’s not fun at all! Don’t do that again!”

“What if you don’t like it?”

“Kyaak… ! Si, if you don’t like it… !”

“Why are you trying to hit me? Aru me?”

“Kkiiing… .”

Dejected, Aru lowers his head. She buries her head in my stomach and focuses on licking the affected area again.

If it weren’t for the stiff ears and mane of a tail, it looks so submissive that you’d think it was an ordinary dog. Does this mean that this is the wolf that is the pinnacle of nobility?

“Aruya, you are no good to me.”

“… .”

“Kkkk, no matter what I do, it is ultimately in the palm of my hand.”

Whispering so secretly, I covered Aru’s face with my hands. Her cheeks turned from soft to like a pressed balloon.

“Do you understand?”

“Kkiing… .”

“Answer.”

“I understand… Kkkk… Well, but!”

Aru’s cheeks are pressed together ungainly and his lips are twitching slightly.

Why, what are you trying to say?

“Even if you keep playing pranks, do it safely! Kkkk!”

“Safely?”

“Something as dangerous as today! no! My heart almost dropped!”

Ah, you were worried about me.

The three most useless worries in the world are worrying about politicians, worrying about celebrities, and worrying about jokers.

That’s stupid.

“If you don’t risk your life for a magic show, there’s no tension, right?”

“Tense! It’s not important! Kkkk! I don’t want young demons to die!”

“I said I would use my life, but why are you meddling?”

“Kung! Young demon, you are now my captain! You can’t die!”

“Who is going to die? Gambling with your heart and suicide are different, man.”

“Kung! Kkkk! Kkkk!”

Oh, it’s noisy. How can this guy never get tired of barking? Doesn’t your vocal cords hurt?

Self-.

I frowned and turned my head at the loud barking. In the night sky, the full moon was obscured by clouds. The shining blue light becomes lighter.

As the light of the full moon disappeared, Aru’s body, which had briefly become an adult, began to return to its original state. He became shorter, his height decreased, and the length of hair on his nose and hair became shorter.

The wolf girl who returned to the messy-haired Aru I knew.

“Kkiing… It’s uncomfortable.”

“Uncomfortable?”

“Because of the full moon, my body got bigger and my clothes got torn a lot. ”

“Really? It really is. Now.”

I got up and walked towards the sack, and brought the whole sack with me. Then he took out some clothes and handed them to Aru.

“Which is the most comfortable? Pick one and try it on.”

“Keng… this. And this.”

What Aru chose was an elastic tank top and dolphin pants. These don’t exist in this era, so I knitted them myself on the way by carriage, and this is how they are used.

Why do they make things that girls wear like that? Who knows, the disguise might come in handy later. No one knows whether he will be disguised as a man in his 50s, a grandmother in her 70s, or a young girl.

It should not be confused with the devil. The Demon King is a hybrid from birth, transcending the physical mask, and can change between male and female at will if he wishes.

To recognize the devil, it is better to focus on the black sunglasses rather than the appearance. The person who looks best in sunglasses in the world is the devil.

While I was thinking such useless thoughts, Aru took the clothes from me and immediately took off his clothes to change… .

“Now, wait! Are you sure you should change right here?”

“Keng? Wasn’t that what you gave it to?”

“You little bastard dares to stand in front of you! Go back there and change!”

“Keng… dirty. Dirty demons.”

“You’re the one who’s dirty! No one cares about a body like yours!”

Perhaps because he lives among wolves, Aru has little hesitation in his actions. I don’t really care, but it would be a big deal if they did that when they went out into human society later. Above all, you should not carelessly take off your clothes in front of a superior like me. It’s not polite.

Well, I have plenty of time. All we need to do is educate for 500 years. Aru absolutely obeys me anyway.

Aru obeyed my orders and took care of putting on a tank top and dolphin pants. Then he walked behind the tree I pointed to.

I was left alone. Maybe it’s because I’ve been through so much, but I’m drowsy and my eyelids are closing. I lay down on my back on the dirt floor full of grass.

Jiing-.

My pocket is ringing. It looks like the rosary the saint gave him will ring again. Why has it been like this since before? With something so close, I need to figure it out quickly so I don’t have to worry about anything, but I’m so sleepy, so I’ll just take a nap for now… … .

My consciousness stopped there.

*****

It’s pitch black.

This space is filled with dark fog everywhere.

Inside, there is a person full of light. She is a particularly impressive woman with blonde hair brighter than gold and golden eyes that shine brilliantly.

He looks like Michael who came down from heaven. If good words like or are embodied, it seems like it would be a shame. It will be a small sun that fills the space with righteous light. A dazzling light fills the surroundings.

Hero of justice, Heavenly Emperor Shine Stella.

A human woman who was overflowing with respect and praise from everyone on the continent was standing in front of me.

The eyes, which were like pure gold, were bloodshot as if they were cracked. What, why is it like that? Where does it hurt?

The cherry-like lips that were closed open. Through the gap, a sharp word leaks out.

“Joker… You are something that should not have been born.”

“I have never heard of someone as evil and strange as you. No matter what devil comes, I don’t think I can even show a business card in front of you.”

“A crystal made of pure evil, that’s all. There is no way to explain you.”

Oh, why is Stella so angry at me?

If I heard something like that… Oh right.

For Stella’s birthday, I sent her a ‘gift’. It was a gift that had great meaning to Stella.

“Giggle kick.”

I smile in the dark. This is me from the past.

Ugh, look at that dark laugh. That bastard with no friends. It hasn’t changed now or ever.

“Are you angry? Are you angry? Are you angry? Are you angry?”

“… .”

“Do you want to kill me? Do you want to cut off my head and take bloody revenge? The unstoppable killing intent rises like a fountain, right?”

“… .”

“Stella! Don’t hold back! Kill me like this! Take your revenge! And you become a criminal too! Break your iron rule and step into the forbidden line of corruption! Enjoy freedom without restrictions!”

Stella just listened to my coaxing words in silence. At this time, Stella showed a certain reaction after I finished speaking.

“… No.”

“Hmm?”

“I… I won’t fall for your tricks… !”

“Puhahahaha! I’m serious? Did you really say that? amazing! As expected, you are perfect, Stella!”

“Qu… ! Oh, you devil… !”

“Giggle, you know that’s the best compliment for a villain like me, right? But I feel a little proud! To be compared to something like the devil!”

How foolish I was back when I didn’t know love because I couldn’t meet a saint. It’s so cute. Me or Stella.

As I was thinking about old memories after a long time, the outline of another woman slowly emerged from the darkness.

The continent’s last hope, Saint Mary.

It doesn’t look like Stella with a golden badge. The first thing that catches your eye are the faded lips, snow-white hair, and black, worn-out nun clothes. A bandage stained with dark red blood is wrapped around the saint’s eyes.

There is light, but it is not as bright as Stella. Instead, it is subtle. That makes it even more special and beautiful.

He is like an ideal for those who follow the Lord. No, it is the ideal itself.

If the word ‘noble’ is used, you will look like a saint. Even with small gestures, sacredness flows down and saturates the surroundings. The piety derived from faith is extremely evident in the pure white appearance of the saint.

“I will embrace you.”

The words the saint gave me were much shorter than Stella’s. But unlike Stella, I couldn’t come up with any answer. Because I, an evil species, could not understand a saint.

I wonder if the saint would have been able to say that even if I treated her the same way as I treated Stella.

Nevertheless, I cannot imagine a future in which the saint becomes corrupted.

Unlike Stella, who was addicted to drugs and went down the path of corruption at the last moment.

– Jiing. jing. jing… .

– Kkkk! Demon! Young demon! Wake up! This is weird!

A sound comes from outside the space.

I’m used to it now. This is a space in a dream. A place that awakens memories that were dormant in my unconscious.

And that sound coming from outside must be the sound of reality. Aru is calling me.

– jing. Jiing. jing. jing… .

– Leader! Young demon! Wake up! Kkkk! Kkkk!

That damned wolf bastard is doing it again.

I think I need to wake up before my eardrums burst. The method is simple.

Take a deep breath and match your exhalation, one, two, three!

“Hoo-eup!”

Flashy, yes. I have to wake up like this.

“Kkkk! Young demon! You’re awake!”

The first thing to occupy my field of vision after emerging from the darkness was none other than Aru. Aru was sitting on top of me lying down with his arms around me, shaking me wildly.

Thanks to you, I feel sick to my stomach.

“Stop it… I don’t feel well… .”

“Kung! Look at this! Look at this!”

“Why… I was sleeping well for a while, so why did you wake me up? .”

He said how happy he was to see the saint’s face after a long time. If I had dreamed a little more there, I think it would have been like the night in Tartarus.

“Look at this! Kkkk! This is weird!”

Heedless of my resentful rebuke, Aru made a fuss and stretched out his arms in front of me.

My eyes followed Aru’s arm. At the end of it, there was an object with two sticks measuring 12 centimeters wide and 7 centimeters tall.

Radiating bright white light. Just like when a saint unleashes a splash of divine power to heal someone.

Jiing-.

Hwaaah-.

The saint’s rosary trembles. At the same time, it emits the same level of light as when it killed its eldest brother Letavis last time.

“… what? Why is this like this?”

“Kung! Strange! So I woke you up!”

“Hmm, it sure is strange. I woke up well.”

“Kkkk! I did a good job!”

This is definitely something unusual. After I brought the meat to Aru, who had done something worthy of praise, I took the cross.

jing-.

As I held it in my hands, the cross vibrated even more than before. It is an incomprehensible phenomenon.

“Hmmmm… As expected, the meat given by young demons is delicious… ”

Zing- Zing- Zing- Zing-.

The sound of Aru chewing meat was quickly drowned out by the sound of the cross vibrating. I turned the cross, turned it over, and looked at it closely.

But that didn’t change anything. Doubts about this strange phenomenon only increase.

In the quiet early morning, when anguish was rising, only the sound of vibration was clearly present.

Zing- Zing- Zing- Zing-.

As I continued to look, my eyes slowly began to hurt. This is because the light surrounding the cross is dazzlingly bright.

I closed my eyes. One of the five senses, sight, was blocked. Then, the other four senses became clearer. One of them is hearing, hearing the sounds of the world.

Jiing-.

jing-.

Zing- Zing- Zing- Zing-.

Zing- Zing- Zing- Zing-.

There is a sound. It is the sound of the air trembling. This is the sound that occurs every time the cross vibrates.

Jiing-.

jing-.

Zing- Zing- Zing- Zing-.

Zing- Zing- Zing- Zing-.

There are certain rules. No, maybe we should call it rhythm or beat. Anyway, the important thing is that it is ‘constant’.

One long time. Take a break, then briefly. Another short rest, then one short, one long, two short times. Take a short break again, then once briefly, once long, then twice briefly. This process repeats infinitely.

Jiing-.

jing-.

Zing- Zing- Zing- Zing-.

Zing- Zing- Zing- Zing-.

… What is this?

The pitch of the sound does not exist in the vibration sound. The only difference is length and beat. This short but unusual beat continues to circulate.

“This can’t be right… .”

There is one thing that comes to mind. This is nonsense. However, this situation itself makes the most sense. Isn’t the saint’s rosary itself an item that traveled back in time from the future with me?

The first thing that came to mind when I heard the vibrating sound was Morse Code.

A communication method invented by the imperial chancellor. This simple and ignorant Morse code, made up of dots and lines, would later become a great weapon for the Continental Army in the war between the Continent and the Demon World. A communication system that only humans could understand was truly terrifying.

Of course, I knew the importance of information and passwords, so I learned them in advance.

“Why is Morse code now…? It takes five hundred years to be made!”

It’s something I don’t understand at all.

Nevertheless.

Still, if this is Morse code correct.

… Because you don’t lose anything by deciphering it.

Jiing-.

Long line.

T.

jing-.

tittle.

E.

Zing- Zing- Zing- Zing-.

Little dots, long lines, little dots, little dots.

L.

Zing- Zing- Zing- Zing-.

Little dots, long lines, little dots, little dots.

L.

Combined.

TELL.

inform. say. As a noun, phone.

gulp-.

Dry saliva went down my throat at the sudden situation. I was thirsty.

I held out my hand to Aru, who was squatting down and inhaling meat.

“Aru, water.”

“Keng.”

“Gulp, Gulp-.”

I quenched my thirst with the canteen that Aru gave me. My wet mouth felt cool, but the warm light of the cross quickly quenched my thirst.

Actually, it’s because of my nervousness.

The bottom line is the bottom line.

Staring straight at the cross, I pursed my lips.

“Horsepower conversion.”

Ugh-.

He straightened his index and middle fingers and unleashed magic power with the tips of his long nails.

“Communication magic.”

Jiing-.

Breathe it into the vibrating cross.

“Tel.”

Uuuung-.

Purple magic seeps into the black rosary. The most corrupted god’s energy enters the symbol of sanctity.

However, there are no adverse reactions. Since the time I was injected with divine power by a saint, divine power has not shown any rejection to me. It is the same in the encounter between magic and the rosary.

Jijik, jijik, jijijik-.

A machine-like noise occurs. This is the noise when communication magic happens. This is proof that what I thought was correct.

No matter how much tell magic is used on an object that has not taken any action, there is no way there will be a .

Ah, in this case, I guess I am the .

[iced coffee-.]

The recipient’s voice is heard from an unknown location across from the rosary.

[Ahhh-.]

Although I was away for a while, I missed it so much.

It’s plain and slightly faded, but it’s still noble enough to endure that.

It is always calm, and the tone does not rise above a certain level, but it has a weight that cannot be easily looked down on.

Such is the voice of Saint Mary.

[Joker, can you hear me?]
