episode_0006

Even though it was a demonic language, it had tone and atmosphere, so the saintess did not miss the emotions that Lilith expressed at that moment.

“It looks like you two have known each other since the beginning.”

“You don’t know anything.”

“I hope you can answer my question.”

“Do I have to respond?”

“It is my wish. It’s not difficult, right?”

“Kew, it’s bothering me.”

The saint persistently inquired. Anyway, one obsession is a great woman.

what… Did you ask whether Lilith has a conscience in her heart?

No, I asked whether goodness blooms even in demons. In fact, it was a question asking for my consent.

“Just as each human is different, all demons are also different.”

“Is that so?”

“There are some assholes like the Grand Duke of Dongbu, and there are also some who feel a conscience like that lowly bitch. It’s demons by demons, this is it.”

“You are saying that it is not a hasty generalization.”

I understand this well even though I have a bad mind.

But is it okay for me to talk so carelessly about high-ranking officials in the demon world, when the saintess might find out my identity?

… What happens if you get caught? Anyway, there are about four days left until the guild.

“If you still want to check, ask that bitch. Because I don’t know.”

“Of course.”

After finishing her conversation with me, the saint turned to Lilith.

The curve of the saint’s pale lips was soft today as well. This is something that really makes me wonder whether that person was a smiling person from the moment he was born.

“Oh, no… Lord, I’m dying… ?”

Lilith was holding her head and muttering in confusion, not sure if she knew the saint was watching her.

She was drowning in a flowing river of panic. Why? Is it because he owed the saint his life and then drove her to death himself? Is it really like that?

I can’t sympathize with it, but as I said before, I’m a demon by demon, so I’ll do it. It’s just a little pathetic.

“Profit… ! Lord, what does it matter to me whether I die or not… !”

A moan flows from Lilith’s red lips. It was a rough, unorganized moan.

“It’s not my fault! It was your fault for being so foolish and letting me go!”

Suddenly, Lilith shouted loudly. A vicious demonic energy rose up behind her back.

“Please get out of my mind! Why do you keep making me feel uncomfortable? Why is my heart so frustrated?”

Struggling, that’s what it looked like to me.

“I just did my duty! It’s natural for the Duke of Demon World to attack the saintess! The bitch you released is strange!”

One’s own shame… In my opinion, it’s not even a shame, but it’s a struggle to hide what I think is a shame.

However, it must have looked different to the saintly woman’s unfamiliar eyes.

“You are going through trouble.”

“… ! What are you doing now?”

“Please stay still.”

“What are you planning to do? !”

The saint stretched out her hand. The saint’s touched hand touched Lilith’s hand. Lilith was startled and flinched.

“Holy Lord.”

“… !”

“Please grant the blessing of peace to this poor sheep walking in the dark.”

“, don’t do anything strange… !”

“After all, love comes from a stable mind and body… … .”

A halo of light arose from the saint’s hand. It’s too bothersome to say anything now.

It looks like they are trying to make a fuss by shortening the lifespan again. Even though you’re going to die anyway, they say there’s something to be gained by helping others.

In fact, isn’t Lilith the demon who betrayed the saint? Would you want to help such a demon? Even if I die and wake up, I won’t be able to understand her antics.

Ugh-.

The bright light became a stream of water and seeped into Lilith. It penetrated between the collar and collar and attacked Lilith’s chest.

Lilith’s face became blank. Her breathing, which had been a mess until just now, had calmed down.

At the same time, the saint’s complexion became pale. Heh, whether it’s like that or not, it’s Ji’s choice, so let’s figure it out. I refuse to use my telekinetic powers to help you any more.

Uuuung-.

Sssss-.

The time of light did not last long. The intense light that brightened Tartarus quickly disappeared. It meant that the saint’s divine power had come to an end.

“What did you do?”

Lilith, sensing a change in herself, asked.

“How… Have you felt any sense of stability? .”

“What did you do? say! Why did my stuffy heart feel refreshed? What kind of trick did you use?”

“As an apostle of the Lord, I just did my duty… .”

“This, this stupid thing… !”

Even in Lilith’s opinion, the saint seems to be a fool. In my opinion, they are both idiots.

“Ha… Is it true that you’re going to die? Death penalty?”

“Yes, there are four days left.”

“Where are you being executed?”

“They say it’s the imperial square. Still, the Demon King showed mercy and allowed the Lord to be beheaded while looking in his direction.”

Oh, I too am guillotined in the Reichsplatz. I don’t know if the time will be the same, but it looks like the saint and I will die on the same day and in the same place.

“Ugh.”

Lilith bit her lower lip. The saint must have used her life as fuel to heal his wandering heart, but it seems he was once again distraught at the fact that the saint was dying.

“That’s it.”

However, this time was different. Lilith didn’t scream or get angry.

Instead, he quietly kept his mouth shut and walked away.

“It doesn’t matter to me whether you die or not.”

After saying those words, Lilith tried to leave without looking back.

There was something left to say, but it seemed like he was suppressing it.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.

What caught Lilith’s ankle was the saint’s faded voice.

“Forgive me.”

Lilith narrowed her eyebrows and asked bluntly.

“What?”

“I said I would forgive you.”

“Crazy… What do you say when you die soon? What do you forgive?”

“I will forgive you all the guilt, karma, and sins that are troubling you.”

“… !”

“So, take it easy now.”

The saint laughs. A smile that is fundamentally different from the clown smile that was my trademark is drawn on her lips.

“No life is evil from birth. The conscience in your heart proves it.”

“Bullshit.”

“Be at ease. And, please continue the path I walked.”

“Damn, what the orcs say makes more sense.”

“The future world where the devil’s army will rule will be very dark. Because it is such a world, even the smallest light can brighten the surroundings.”

“What are you trying to ask of me, a demon?”

“Let’s start with a small good deed. Good deeds are like cotton candy; once you start, it snowballs.”

Those words were also said to me. At that time, the subject was ‘love’.

“Crazy bitch. Get out.”

After hearing the saint’s persuasion, Lilith turned her head and walked out of Tartarus with brisk steps.

A saint who has become as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.

I spoke sarcastically.

“What should I do? I don’t think your persuasion worked at all?”

“Haha.”

“It’s a bit surprising because I’ve seen him feel guilty, but… Lilith is a demon, so she can’t do good deeds.”

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

The saintess smiled and refuted.

“Is there anything to look at with something that is so obvious?”

“Demon, may I tell you about some news I heard outside?”

“Why is it special? They say the devil has fallen?”

“It’s not like that… This is about the way the demonic agents treat their prisoners.”

“Prisoner? Sounds fun, tell me.”

Upon my permission, the saint opened her mouth as if she had been waiting. Today, I realize that this kind of thing should be allowed, and that excessive example is truly annoying.

“The Grand Duke of the North disappeared three months ago, so I will leave it aside. It is said that the Duke of Demon World turns all of his captives into slaves and forces them to do hard or dirty work. For example, somewhere to satisfy the desires of monsters.”

“Wow, that’s disgusting. You have all the virtues of a demon.”

“It is said that the Duke of Demon World uses prisoners as tools for his art. They even say that they melt people and use them as paint.”

“What a demon. I like that guy because he has something in common with me. My art is explosive though.”

At the word explosion, the saintess burst into laughter and continued speaking. It was an infinitely pure laugh.

“It is said that Duke Seo of the Demon World never touched a single prisoner who did not resist.”

“… really? Lilith That bitch?”

“Would you rather tell a lie? It is said that he gave a strict order to the Demon King’s army not to touch it at all.”

“This is absurd.”

“ It is said that there are refugees moving to the western part of the continent. He started doing this the day after I sent Lilith away.”

I think I understand the point the saint is trying to convey to me.

Although I inevitably have doubts about this.

Lilith is a vicious demon. To the point where you would feel sad if you were second in the demon world.

Lilith doesn’t touch the prisoners she captures? Even the Demon Lord’s army couldn’t touch it?

This information is a bit hard to take at face value, but since we have just seen Lilith’s condition, we cannot just distrust it.

When Lilith swore at the end, I felt unconcealed trembling and confusion.

Although I like chaos, it was a different kind of mental chaos from the root.

Suddenly, a flash of delusion flashed in my mind.

It was a ridiculous delusion. But for some reason, my reason was focused on the delusion.

I asked the saint who had already come to my side.

“Let me ask you just one question.”

“Tell me.”

“A long time ago, I released Lilith, who I had worked so hard to catch… Did you look this far ahead?”

“… .”

I know. This doubt has no basis.

In the distant past, you looked into the present? It is a thoughtless delusion. To begin with, the saint is stupid, foolish, and clueless.

But my mind keeps pointing in that direction. It was even more so because the saint did not answer and just smiled.

“It was a war whose outcome was predicted from the beginning once the warrior surrendered.”

“… .”

“Even if Lilith is destroyed, a new Grand Duke of the West will be appointed.”

“… .”

“That’s why they did Lilith a favor, to stimulate guilt and give hope to the people of the continent who would otherwise be prisoners. Right?”

At my next words, the saintess smiled. I do not know that it is an unspoken affirmation.

“Strange human being.”

“Do you see it like that?”

“Normally he’s extremely stupid, but his head only turns to strange places, that’s him.”

“Just focus on the good deeds in front of you. Is there any calculation in good deeds?”

“Well, that could happen.”

That’s not entirely wrong. As she said, at the time, her only intention may have been to free Lilith.

The saint’s claim that the aftermath spread like the flapping wings of a butterfly and led to the current situation does not go against logic.

but.

“Celt was chattering. The saint is said to have the wisest white eyes on the continent.”

For that reason, the rumors spreading about the saint are quite famous. Did you say she was the wisest woman on the continent, along with the great sage Merlin?

“This is too much praise.”

“Saint, that’s a lie. Not humility. I wonder if these idiots will live because they feel sad.”

“… .”

The saint did not refute my words. Instead, he sneakily approached me and sat the back of my head on his lap.

The saintess’s face and mine were so close that they almost touched each other. She put my head in her bosom as usual.

They even hugged each other in an already sweltering environment due to the heat of Tartarus.

“Are you uncomfortable?”

“I guess I understand. It’s so uncomfortable.”

“Shall I quit?”

“… Okay, don’t bother me. Or don’t pick it in the first place.”

After only spending a few days together, did I get used to the saint?

It was truly an unknown matter.

“Please eat.”

The saint handed me the bread she had saved.

“Ah-.”

“Hearing the sound of you eating deliciously makes my stomach full.”

“Why are you calling me, you should eat some too.”

He lifted his head and hit the saintess’ stomach several times. It was a skinny boat with no fat at all.

Thick-.

Oh, shit. It hurts like every bone in my body is going to shatter. Don’t do that.

“For me, just eating one is enough.”

“And then you fed me three?”

Two pieces of bread are provided per person. One, the bread between the saint and me was of different quality.

This was because the Celts were always changing the saint’s bread. The saint’s things were always soft and sweet.

The saint always gave me all of that bread. Even though it wasn’t necessary, I forced myself to eat it.

“You are a demon, right? I heard that demons have an appetite three times that of humans.”

“… That’s true. But.”

“But what?”

I pursed my lips slightly humorously. This is because the playful nature of wanting to pick on the innocent girl was triggered.

“Did you know that demons have seven times more sexual desire than humans?”

“… ?”

“I ask you not only to relieve your appetite, but also to relieve your sexual desire, if you are willing to do so.”

Of course, it’s impossible with my current physical condition. This is purely a prank to tease her.

“… Do you mean sexual desire?”

The saint shyly glanced at my lower body through the snow covered in bandages and then responded. Because I had so little energy, my lower body wasn’t particularly swollen or anything.

“I’m sorry.”

“Kick!”

“I was taught that priests who serve God must be pure. Please understand.”

The saint’s face turned red. She lowered her head slightly. I can feel him intentionally avoiding my gaze.

She was a saint who always smiled elegantly. I can’t believe a saint like that would react like that just because I made one lame joke.

If this happens, I can’t just leave it alone even if it makes me want to harass it, right?

“I thought you were smart, but as expected, you are stupid.”

“Keeping chastity is a natural obligation as an apostle of God.”

“What? wisdom? Hahaha! Even the mention of nighttime makes me tremble and wonder what!”

“You’re shaking… I hope you don’t see me as such a cruel woman.”

The day passed quickly as I played tiki-taka while watching the saintly woman stutter on rare occasions. By my standards. There is no way to confirm that there is no light or wind in Tartarus.

And the next day after coming. Just like yesterday and the day before, a visitor came today as well.

However, the identity of the visitor was a little different.

A girl who was both the hope and despair of the continent.

A girl who was born with the destiny to fight against the devil, but succumbed to him.

A girl who was revered as an indomitable warrior until the Cold War, but has now become an indomitable warrior.

The warrior, Frey de Siegfried.

It was the identity of the fourth visitor, the most famous person on the continent, along with the Demon King.
