The name usually makes you imagine something like a blood-red land that burns endlessly.
When Noctilla opened her eyes, she found herself in a girl’s dream world, where candy trees grew on a land made of candy and chocolate flowed like a river.
“… What is it.”
A lot of knowledge flowed into my brain along with the magic. I could tell that this was the Demon World. I also knew that from now on, I had to make a pilgrimage on this land.
Still, it was still disconcerting. Even though I knew that this was what the Demon World looked like. Nothing was burning here.
no.
One thing caught my eye that was burning.
Life and soul burning like flames.
The thing standing in front of Noctilla looked like some kind of demon dog. In terms of form, it was exactly as one would normally imagine, a guard dog from hell.
Its size was not that big compared to an average large dog. The body of the demon dog was a messy collection of things like a girl’s arms, legs, eyes, ears, and tongue, like a mosaic or collage of some eccentric taste.
If you mold a pretty girl out of colorful clay and then crush it all together to make a dog, what will happen?
The distorted lips protruding from the dog’s side were unable to utter even the most trite words like ‘Save me’ or ‘Kill me’, and instead let out a groan that sounded like scraping metal.
The demon dog wasn’t alone. Soon, a group of them gathered around Noctilla. They looked more like hyenas than dogs. Their target seemed clear.
Just because the weather was nice and the wind was cool.
Because I love that lump of cotton candy floating above my head, whether it’s a cloud that looks like cotton candy or a cloud that looks like cotton candy.
Noctilla decided to end her miserable life here by being eaten by hungry dogs.
The dog’s jaws moved violently as it charged, cutting off the ring finger and little finger of my left hand in one breath.
Another dog rushed in and tore off a chunk of tender meat from his thigh.
Do you know anything about the Demon King or pilgrimages?
Even now, the endless magic is regenerating my body in an instant, but there will be an end in the end.
Eons after eons, eons after eons. If I continue to have my flesh eaten away here for such a long time, there will come a day when I will truly be eaten away.
He has gained magic, acquired the qualifications of a Demon King, and has become enlightened. Such a being should not exist. It must end.
‘It’s unfair to say, ‘Why me?’
It’s like an accident or a natural disaster. No matter how you look at it, there’s nothing you can do.
Trash that fell on the street. Maybe someone will clean it up later, but since I found it, I picked it up anyway.
Noctilla was trying to end the curse that the absurd world had continued to endure, this cursed Demon King, by calmly letting him be eaten by dogs.
“Eat a lot.”
The Demon World is the dream of dead girls. The dead dreams of girls. Through the Demon King’s wisdom, its true nature was soon discovered.
These guard dogs, who are still munching on the bones of the feet, are girls who have lost their form and become monsters that run wild, with even a piece of their self destroyed.
You could say it’s a cursed fate. The other side must be suffering no less injustice.
So, what, I have no complaints and no particular feelings. I’m not sad, I’m not particularly in pain, and I don’t feel lonely being dropped on this earth all alone.
So I don’t really know why my tears are falling.
Leaving such a blank question behind, Noctilla fell into a sweet sleep. She would never wake up. That was the moment.
Flesh was being torn off everywhere. One dog was trying to bite off his arm.
With his teeth, which had eyeballs, he roughly tried to tear off the bandages wrapped around his arm.
And this pack of dogs, without a single one left, was torn to pieces in an instant, scattered on the ground as pieces of flesh.
“… … Ah.”
The dogs looked like they had strangely aligned themselves with the girl. So when they were cut into pieces, they looked no different from the girl’s corpse, completely torn to pieces.
The one who was torn apart was himself.
I never wanted to show the embarrassing marks on my arms. That must have been it. Couldn’t I even sit still and die properly?
Tears continued to flow for no reason.
“Huh? Who are you?”
From behind, a pretty voice was heard.
A little girl was standing there, wearing a pure white one-piece dress.
***
“So, I’m your older sister. Everyone’s older sister! Hehe.”
The girl was a devil.
“I’m so happy to have a little brother! Noctilla!”
“Ugh… .”
Smiling brightly, the girl grabbed Noctilla’s hand and dragged her somewhere.
“We’re going to our village! There are lots of other kids there, and there’s a party, and, and… Anyway, it’s so much fun!”
The girl was a little below Noctilla’s shoulders. Following the girl who was chattering happily, Noctilla walked through the fairytale-like land of sweets.
Before I knew it, the tears had stopped.
“I was so lonely living alone! Now I’m living with my sisters! Yeah, yeah!”
Even though I knew she was a demon, my heart softened a little at the sight of the innocent girl.
“Ah, wait. To the right here, there’s a scary monster!! Don’t look at it! It’s a really strong monster that even I can’t defeat.”
“Really? I’m pretty strong.”
“Well, I saw you just now, pushing the puppies away. Hmm… That still won’t do!”
Noctilla controlled the Demon King’s magical energy flowing throughout her body.
Magi was as wide and deep as the ocean. However, the amount that could be used at any given time was still very small.
Is it like trying to scoop up all that seawater with just one teaspoon?
However, even with that alone, it didn’t seem like he would lose to a famous Auror user or wizard. Noctilla was confident, even if he didn’t know how much of a monster it was.
“But can I say this? Can’t you hear me?”
“Yeah. That monster is ‘Abyss Gazing’. It’s a guy who eats gazes. Someone once looked at it wrong and it destroyed a village, but if you don’t look at it, it’s okay.”
“That’s right.”
A town where children like this girl live. And a monster that is very dangerous to children, who has destroyed it.
Let’s deal with it.
Noctilla’s heart, which had been broken and without any motivation or purpose, began to move.
Noctilla turned her head to the right.
And I saw. The being. Looking into the abyss.
■■■■■■■■■■
■■
■■■■■■■.
what?
The world is dark.
Dizzy. Discontinuity of consciousness. Realizing that I had passed out.
“… That’s why I told you not to look at me~. Sob, sob. But I’m glad that Noctilla, you’re so cute and sticky like him!”
A girl’s voice. Noctilla was being held by the girl.
“Him?”
“Ah, there is… . A kid like you who comes back saying “ta-da” even after being torn to pieces.”
Was it torn to pieces without even realizing it?
Only a teaspoon of seawater was emptied, and it was quickly filled again.
“Yeah, but, my eyes won’t open… ?”
“Ah, I pulled it out for a moment because it would be awkward if I looked at it again~.”
huh?
“I see it’ll come back soon, right? I’ve gotten away from the monster quite a bit, so it’s okay now. Hehe. I was surprised~.”
As he said, Noctilla’s eyes soon regenerated. Noctilla got out of the girl’s arms.
***
The two walked a little further and arrived at the village.
A village where girl-like demons live together.
The houses and streets made of sweets and candy were sparkling and sparkling, just like a fairy tale land I read as a child. This was a girl’s dreamland.
“Heh, heh, heh~.”
Hearing the voice of the girl singing excitedly, other girls poke their heads out of the windows of each house.
“Wow, my sister brought a new little brother!”
“How much is this?”
“Sister Naheshi, you look so excited~.”
The girl suddenly seemed to remember something.
“Oh, you didn’t tell me my name. My name is Naheshi, and like I said before, I’m the oldest sister of these kids. Isn’t that cool?”
“Naheshi… Yeah.”
Noctilla walked down the candy street, watching the girls closely.
Everyone was a devil.
But not everyone was evil.
Even in Noctilla’s Demon King’s wisdom, there was nothing about such a being. Demons were naturally evil. They were wrong lives that deceived, took away, harmed, and endlessly self-destructed.
But it wasn’t easy at all to connect it with the innocent girls smiling right in front of me.
“Okay, if you go left from here, there’s an empty house for Noctilla to use!”
At the fork in the road, Noctilla took the left path as Nahesh had told her.
Kkudangtang!
And he fell into the pit. His whole body was stabbed by the spears that filled the pit.
‘Well, it’s a lie.’
But Noctilla was fine in the blink of an eye. It was nothing. She didn’t feel bad, and she actually found it cute.
“Ahahaha, I got it, I got it! Okay, actually it was the right one~! After looking at the new house, let’s all gather together and have a welcome party!”
Girls who smile like this even in the midst of a cursed fate.
Maybe that’s why Noctila felt like she was already falling a little in love with these girls.
***
The feast began in a large square in the middle of the village.
Naheshi introduces Noctilla to everyone.
The sisters, just under a hundred in number, all applauded and were genuinely happy to have a new sibling.
Noctilla thought that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to live quietly with them on the outskirts of the demon world.
A demon who is strongly attracted to the desire to hurt people and the guilt of not being able to do so. However, there are no people here in the first place. In fact, Noctilla’s inner self was quite stable at the moment.
I had this foolish fantasy that if I just let go of this cursed fate and nature and stay here, maybe someday ‘those two people’ will come to save me.
“Well, is there anything you can’t miss at a festival?”
“I know, sis! It’s delicious!!”
“Yeah, Yuria, that’s right! Come out!”
What was dragged up onto the podium?
An extremely rare case of a lost child from a dimension who has lost their way in this world and drifted into the Demon World.
It was a nondescript human girl and her father, tied up and crying hysterically.
“Yahoo! Sister, you’re the best!”
“I’m sick of eating only snacks these days! This looks delicious~.”
I think I made a mistake.
