My Wife Is the Devil

Ha—

Pure white steam rising from the still warm tea.

It is like a mirage in midsummer, or a cold breath in midwinter.

…or just a fleeting dream.

“As I get older, I think of all kinds of things.”

The outside world is filled with only silence due to the magic of the Great Evil.

Save the good and punish the wicked. An angel’s representative who has a mission in his heart.

Julius Tafnell just sits in the middle of the drawing room with a quiet atmosphere.

The scent of black tea mixed with the pure white seaweed and fluttering could only spit out an unsatisfying sentiment.

-profit! Die, die!

– You’re going to die, you little devil!

“I wish I could do it in moderation and relieve my anger. It’s hard to deal with Cecil who’s gone mad like that.”

after Cecil’s death.

Julius, who spoke as if he had returned to his playful boyhood, not the hard-spoken tone he had always had, shook his head as if embarrassed by Cecil’s faint shout from afar.

“It seems that it will be difficult to move on to just one kiss this time.”

tak-

Julius emptied the black tea that was given to him and smiled at the pleasant scent that still lingers on the tip of his nose.

He looked at the platinum-colored watch that was still neatly laid out on the table and began to wiggle his hands.

Tick-

Now, even the noise of the bloody struggle between the devil and the angel can no longer be heard, and like the uninhabited city of Darkana, in a space where there is only silence.

The interrogator’s fingers also show light movements in line with the sound of the clockwork constantly interlocking.

Julius, who had been concentrating on meaningless things for a while and organizing his thoughts, turned his head and glanced to the side at the slight chill felt next to me.

woo woo-

A great holy relic that had not been called, but how the hell it appeared and how it appeared.

As always, the holy sword, Nerondir, was exuding a cool breeze and boasting of his pure white sword.

“…Nerondir. You put on a bit of an unusual outfit while I wasn’t able to see you.”

Even though the hilt of the sword had been dyed black by the magic of the Great Evil.

Whoa!

Perhaps he was dissatisfied with his words, the holy sword, which had just floated in the air and was just floating around, began to speak in a beautiful woman’s voice, turning its body like a woman with an angst.

-embellishment? My master is really joking. Although I, who was created with the power of the great Rom, dared to be mistreated by a trivial demon. That the owner, seeing the scars of disgrace, utters the word ornament. This is extremely blasphemous…!

“… … like.”

-like?

“It’s amazing. A sword that speaks.”

-Are you talking like that now?

If you’re going to say you’re surprised, you’d rather be surprised.

Julius, without raising an eyebrow, calmly expressed his surprise with an insensitive tone.

Nerondir tried to say something to him about his impertinent and unreasonable appearance, but

Julius, who quickly became accustomed to the situation where the sword spoke, was placed in front of me as a holy relic.

I got up after putting it in the arms of [Jiffnell’s Tears].

“I didn’t even call you, but the dragon is also coming to visit me. As it was at the time of washing, and now as it was. How the hell are you going to find me?”

-You who chose me from the Sealing Stone are the masters of the Holy Sword, no matter what anyone says. And my mission is to eradicate the evil that devours this world…!

“It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me. It is unavoidable.”

-… The power that resides in your heart and the power that resides in my sword body are interconnected. So they don’t attract each other.

“Hey, then you’re flying in search of me. Can you do the reverse as well?”

-… You can do it, but is it really necessary?

“No, I was just thinking a little funny.”

‘Hey! Magic that transcends space is said to be extremely rare among demons. Can’t even Julius do this? Hehe, I won.’

Inwardly, Julius, who felt strangely competitive with my wife’s breathing magic, was looking for an opportunity to create a new technology that would surpass Cecil’s magic.

“If I throw it with all my might, I wonder if I can imitate it in a similar way.”

– I’m just saying this, but if you throw me at will, I’m sure you’ll get really upset.

He smiled faintly as he recalled the ingenious idea of using the power of the Holy Sword that he had heard from Nerondir to recreate the magic of the Great Evil, at least clumsily.

“It might be worth trying later.”

– I really said don’t do it!

Of course, it was only a terrible idea for Nerondir, who would later throw it away with all his might.

***

– If you just look around, you really do do weird things sometimes.

“…… I? Do you mean something stupid?”

At the sound of a graceful woman’s voice echoing from the holy sword, which was snugly caught on the inquisitor’s waist and emitting a pleasant chill,

Julius, who was once again admiring the devil’s nest, which showed the exact same level of sophistication as reality, tilted his head and listened to the words of the Holy Sword.

-Yeah, you’re still doing weird things, aren’t you?

The mansion where Saint Erman and his daughter Cecil Lionelta lived together.

The realm of the Great Evil Lionelta, which was modeled exactly like that old-fashioned building.

Among them, looking at one side of the hallway with square marks engraved as if a frame was hung, the strongest interrogator Julius Tafnell…

Gathering golden brilliance from my heart, I was working hard to set fire to the devil’s nest.

“You rarely get a chance to enter a high-level demon’s nest. I was testing my own way as a heretic interrogator to see if it was really the same space as reality.”

– No matter how you look at it, it seems like they’re just making fire for fun.

“… … Hmmm.”

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

My dead wife came back to life, and Julius, who had melted his frozen heart while smelling her warm scent, began to slowly regain his original form.

He showed a sense of leisure and playfulness that was hard to even imagine when it was called the horrors of Liriam.

– By the way, this is a really bad place. Why the hell did Lionelta create such an old-fashioned mansion?

“This is Saint Erman… No, it’s a space that resembles the mansion my father-in-law used to live in.”

-… … .

“Well, I understand that it looks a little ugly. These unpleasant marks are engraved where the beautiful portraits were supposed to hang.”

-… Whose portrait was originally hung?

“The washroom.”

Julius, who gladly answered the very simple question from the Holy Sword, slowly wiped the scars on the wall with his hand with a slightly bitter smile.

– It’s a picture of that crazy demon, change your words. This is a really nice mansion.

“Originally, there were many portraits of Cecil in my father-in-law’s mansion. From childhood to becoming a mature woman. A moment of a splendid life was here.”

-… But why did it disappear?

“Because of me.”

After saying those words, Julius kept his mouth shut for a while, gently stroking the wall where the picture of the brown-haired girl was hanging.

After a while, he began to open his mouth to the holy sword again.

“You don’t know who has been sealed for a very long time, but the priests of the Telmere Church are not really keeping their doctrine very faithfully.”

– I don’t know why I don’t know. Just by looking at your little one, I can understand that the denomination is going crazy.

“But nevertheless. There are sins that will never be forgiven.”

-What, you mean holding hands with the devil and becoming a cult?

“That, too, is an unforgivable sin, but what I am talking about is another sin.”

– Hmm… I don’t know.

“…Innocence before marriage. One of the sins that the Telmere Church will never forgive is not maintaining premarital chastity.”

-But that woman obviously didn’t keep her premarital chastity!

“Yeah, that’s why she was punished. Originally, it was a mortal sin that deserved to be decapitated. Because she was also the daughter of a saint, and the person who broke her innocence was the representative of Tafnel, who appeared for the first time in 500 years. Cecil could have ended up receiving a non-existent sentence.”

You can’t have a portrait because it doesn’t exist.

Because it did not exist, a grand wedding could not be held.

“Therefore, only two portraits of Cecil remain in the world.”

Recalling the touch of the silver rocket that had always hung on his neck for the past five years, returning to his master, Julius whispered softly.

The holy sword was just grunting and shaking my body.

-Heh, wasn’t that the woman’s own profit? There is no reason for my master to be sad.

“…I am not sad. Because now Cecil is by my side. If there is no portrait of her past appearance, it is enough to re-create her splendid life in the future.”

-Why did the period of punishment even end?

“No, the rule is that a woman who does not keep her chastity is punished for the rest of her life.”

– Then how did you say that?

As if he did not understand, Nerondir asked in a bewildered voice.

Julius, who was gently sweeping away the traces of punishment engraved on the wall while listening to the words of the Holy Sword, spoke out indifferently as if passing by her words.

“Because I will not tolerate punishing her any longer.”

-But it’s definitely not right in principle…!

“I will not tolerate it, but who dares to object to it?”

-… … .

The Holy Sword didn’t say anything at all of his arrogant words, and he was just silent.

Julius, who loved his wife terribly and loved him, clenched his fists with a determination not to be broken.

“If we can solve this case and bring the world back to the right way. Obviously, the clergy of the Central Church will also find their place.”

– Hopefully it’s not what I think it is.

“Obviously they will not tolerate Cecil’s existence.”

– I can’t tolerate it either. do not ignore

“But don’t worry.”

-… … ?

“Saint Telmere said, “Most things in the human world can be solved by force.”

-Telmere wasn’t the one who said that!

As the love for my wife overflowed, the Holy Sword screamed in shock at the reckless words and deeds of the inquisitor who began to fabricate the words of the first saint, Telmere.

The strongest man on earth, Julius Tafnell, only calmly made up his mind.

“After I settle things with Erman-sama, I think I will be a little busy. Apparently, the elder priests of the Central Church are quite tough.”

-Why are you already thinking of solving it by force? Are you saying you don’t have the option to solve the situation with words?

“… word? The best way to reveal a person’s beliefs is their actions. A punch can sometimes make you feel more than a mere word.”

-… Maybe it’s oddly right, or maybe it’s not.

As if he had fallen into confusion, the holy sword attached to the Inquisitor’s waist moved quite dynamically and rattled.

Julius, who glanced at Nerondir like that, slowly took out the platinum watch he had in his pocket and continued.

“Well, Nerondir, you don’t have to worry about anything.”

– Stand, please. did you care about me my master

“No, it can’t be. My worries can only be received by my beloved wife Cecil and my lovely daughter, Leira.”

-… You speak arrogantly, but can you say that in front of Rom’s adopted daughter and Jeepnel’s representative? It’s really rude. It’s like an unbeliever possessed by the devil!

“… anyway. Let me prove myself that a fist is more convincing than a word.”

Julius said so, the holy relic in my hand,

[Tears of Jeepnel], the supreme treasure with the power to turn back time, gently laid down on the floor.

-… … What the hell are you doing now?

“Didn’t you say I will show you with my body.”

The power of an angel in his heart.

Tafnel’s [golden]-infused golden flames were wrapped around his legs, and he set his feet toward the holy relic as it was and plunged it down.

Kaang—!

“…why are you disturbing me? Nerondir.”

-Me, me, me!

“… … mi?”

– You crazy! what are you doing now!

Unfortunately, however, his shoes, which had the power to split the holy object in two at once, were blocked by the pure white blade of the holy sword, so he could not achieve his intended purpose.

Julius, who was about to deal with the extremely dangerous thing, felt slightly annoyed at the interruption of his work, and wrinkled his eyebrows slightly.

-Hey, this is a relic made by that unlucky angel.

“But?”

– What is ‘just like that’? Do you think it makes sense to kick this precious thing in two right now?

“I think that such a dangerous object deserves to be destroyed, of course.”

-It’s nothing else, it’s a precious thing that can turn back time! What does it mean to have the supreme treasure that everyone in the world wants in front of you? dangerous? What’s dangerous!

Obviously, the words echoing from the sword body of the Holy Sword are very common sense.

Upon hearing that, Julius only tilted his head with a mysterious expression on his face as if he did not understand.

“Now that I come here. Cecil as a demon rather than a human is extremely strong. Probably, it is safe to say that there is no one in this world who can defeat her in a normal way.”

– Why not? If it were you who held me, even if you were to face Nirhill, who did your best, you could easily decapitate him…!

“No, I can’t beat Cecil.”

-why?

“You can die for the woman you love, but you cannot kill the woman you love.”

-… I just got a little creepy. Can’t you please stop?

“Anyway, the reason I’ve decided to dispose of this dangerous relic is simple.”

-…No, I get it, so stop now.

“This is probably the only thing in the world that can erase the current Cecil. No matter how well-versed in magic, he is a high-ranking demon with divine power. The passage of time is an ordeal that is difficult to overcome.”

– Well, I don’t know. But no matter how much it needs to be crushed…!

“With this, perhaps Cecil will continue to tremble in secret, and he may become more and more maddened. I want my wife to feel only happiness for the rest of her life. So, there is only one answer.”

– Come on, wait!

Wow—!

While floating in the air, the efforts of the Holy Sword were futile to convince Julius to convince Julius, and Julius did not miss the opportunity to open his eyes.

As if there was no hesitation, he shattered Jeepnell’s tears at once.

– Whoa! Hey, you crazy bastard!

“Look, am I right? rather than a word. One punch can say more.”

– He doesn’t even use his fist, but what kind of fist strike!

For the sake of my wife, despite the horrific accident of smashing the supreme treasure,

It was just a happy smile.

.

.

.

“… I thought it was me. It’s a shame because I knew that it would and told me the fake in advance.”

“Quietly get out of hell, you devil!”

“So, if you want to go out to hell, you must go out!”

Kaang–! Kaang–!

Fortunately or unfortunately, the relics that Julius broke were fakes.

The real thing was sleeping in the arms of Lionelta, the angel of death.

“uh? what’s this. Is it a good looking watch? I will steal it and give it to my husband as a present.”

“Now that I see you, you’re nothing more than a back alley scoundrel, let alone a demon, Nirhill!”

Seriously, it seems like he hasn’t escaped from his fate to be shattered.
