The Devil Who Grants Wishes

‘…what, why is this happening?’

Pure magic with low density is difficult to handle, but can you handle magic with high density or fused with mana?

It’s what I did, but to be honest, I didn’t expect it either. It’s like petting a cat is easier than petting an ant.

If it gets too strong, detailed work may not be possible, so that’s not a good thing.

“What… what…”

“Don’t let go of the tension!!”

In any case, after successfully completing the normalization of the Great Forest, the elves, who up until recently had only expressed their hostility toward me, are now greatly agitated.

All sorts of emotions, such as the question of why the mana was returned, and the fear of what to do with the condensed magic, are directed at me.

‘…how do you do this?’

I should apologize for making the Great Forest this way, and explain not to misunderstand it because it was not intentional, but there is a very high probability that problems will arise because of Faust, who twists his words if he opens his mouth prematurely.

What should I do… Ugh, my head hurts.

Why don’t you just say nothing?

…Hey, this sounds like a surprisingly good idea?

“Demon, what the hell do you mean…!”

To be honest, no matter what the elves think of me, it doesn’t change what I have to do.

No, to be precise, the work to be done has already been completed.

As the victims were resurrected and Maggi cleaned up, the goal of restoring the Great Forest to its original state has been achieved.

“I am under no obligation to answer.”

Above all, there is no reason for me to say this or that in the judgment of the elves.

The reason why the Great Forest became like this was clearly mine, not my intention or intention, so it is perfectly justified for the elves to be hostile to me.

The fault is clearly mine, but it is just ugly to make excuses with explanations so as not to misunderstand.

Of course, not making an apology is ugly, but… I can’t help it because of the limitations of my body, so at least I shouldn’t make any excuses.

“What the hell… what happened?”

An hour after Faust’s departure, the elves roughly cleared the site and began to work on the restoration of the great forest for a long time, but they do not know what to do about Faust.

Even though the elves clearly saw what was happening with their own eyes, they couldn’t believe what they saw.

Hey, didn’t the absolute evil demon return the mana of the Great Forest? He even revived his dead compatriots.

The elves, who know that demons are beings made of pure malice, cannot intuitively grasp how things are going.

“Obviously… I’m aiming for something. Otherwise…”

“That’s right. Didn’t you take the mana of the Great Forest that was locked in the barrier with you?”

“The reason I spit out the mana… Yeah! Maybe it was because I had too much mana I couldn’t handle.”

“I took only what I could afford… Definitely, there’s a lot of potential.”

The elves of the Senate begin to guess Faust’s actions within the limited information.

The question of why Faust saved Daesoo-rim quickly leads to the answer to whether Faust’s abilities were insufficient.

Of course, the elves who saw Faust’s power couldn’t imagine that such a great demon would lack the ability on the other hand, but since there is a lack of information, the elves have no choice but to say that they lacked the ability. .

In addition, the mana of the Great Forest is of the highest quality, and the density is high and there is a very large amount.

In other words, it is close to impossible to absorb the entire mana of the Great Forest, no matter how great the devil, so the senate ultimately concludes that the mana return was due to Faust’s lack of ability.

“But… what the hell is that magic marble?”

“…well, I’ve lived for hundreds of years, so I can’t say for sure because it’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

“It was made by condensing such a vicious magic and mana equivalent to 30% of the Great Forest… Eh, I have a bad feeling.”

The elders of the elves, having roughly concluded the reason Faust spewed out mana, begin to discuss the next topic, the Magi Orb that Faust took.

It’s a very sudden change of topic, but as there are no clues about the previous topic, it is meaningless to speculate any further, so even the elves of the Senate have no choice but to do so.

Above all, the beads are so irregular.

From unleashing space magic and twisting the surroundings in a very natural way, to mental interference that works just by looking at it, beings who have seen a marble at least once have no choice but to be interested in the marble, so their actions are quite natural.

It is right to reveal the identity of the marble as soon as possible and take measures.

“Yeah…! The devil sowed seeds in this great forest thirteen years ago. The seeds from which those beads are grown.”

“Then… Originally, that seed should have eaten up the Great Forest and turned into a terrible marble, but we blocked it with a barrier, so we could only eat 30% of the Great Forest?”

“It’s a story with plenty of potential.”

“Because the beads were not perfect, it may have been that the mana of the Great Forest could not be completely absorbed.”

“Oh, it also has something to do with the reason he spewed out mana again…! It feels like the puzzle is being put together.”

By presuming that Faust was absolute evil and interpreting the situation, the Senate’s conjecture was completely separated from the truth.

However, the assumption was that there was no problem in the development of the logic except for the assumption that Faust was an absolute evil, so no one noticed the strange thing, and the Elf Senate eventually concluded that Faust’s mana return was caused by an abnormality in the orb.

“But… how are you going to deal with that demon and the marble?”

“It’s… umm.”

However, the Senate cannot come to a conclusion as to how to deal with the Faust and the marble.

that’s natural

If there had been a countermeasure, he would have already done it 13 years ago when Faust first came.

The elves of the Senate, who are trying to handle this task only with elves, suffer from headaches because they can’t come up with a way.

“…require outside support.”

“Elder?”

Except for one person, only the elder, who had been advised by Aren how to seek outside support.

The elder’s proposal immediately provoked strong opposition from the elf elders, but they knew that there was no other way, so they eventually accepted the elder’s proposal.

“I, me…?”

“Please, there is none other than you.”

And Aren, as the first commentator, is appointed as a special envoy sent by the elves by the orders of the elders and the senate.

Aren only curses his former self for saying strange things to the elder.

“You’re back… Faust-sama, what happened to you?”

As soon as Aegoceros sees Faust returning home, he immediately notices that there is something there.

it has no choice but to

Faust’s whole body was strongly scented with demons and beasts, and the orb floating behind his back felt a shocking pressure even for the Arch Daemon, Aegokeros.

But Faust doesn’t care at all that Aegoceros is perplexed. I have more urgent and important things to do.

“Migration to the Great Forest is cancelled.”

Aww… you’ve had too much of an accident.

It was unexpected that the magic had matured because the elves had placed a barrier, but even without such a barrier, there must be places where it overflows with monsters and demons.

‘The fusion of magic and mana to become stronger, such a setting and phenomenon was not found in Noah…!’

Since this is real, not in a game, I forgot that there are cases where the rules of the game do not apply as they are.

From now on, I have to go back to the places I’ve been to at least once, check if there are any problems, and if there are any problems, fix them.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that the story will be twisted, and if the twisted story turns into a hero losing to a demon or Seraphia, it would be a catastrophe.

The world in which Lucia can live comfortably may disappear, so that possibility must be prevented by any means possible.

‘…a world where Lucia can live comfortably.’

It’s a new thing now, but I haven’t been good to Lucia, and I wasn’t strict.

It was because Lucia did not want to leave me no matter what.

When I was young, even if I teleported Lucia to an empty lot in the city, Lucia didn’t play with other children of her age, she just sat in a corner and waited for me.

I couldn’t watch it, so I accepted Lucia’s foolishness straight away and did not do anything that Lucia didn’t like. As a result, Lucia didn’t make any friends until she was 17.

It’s too late, but if it’s really for Lucia, I’ll have to do something Lucia hates.

“Lucia, for now, leave this place and stay in the capital of the Aquileia Empire, which has the most humans. Learn human life there.”

“Yeah…? What is that…”

“It seems like I won’t be able to meet you for a while because I have something to do. Aigokeros, take good care of Lucia in the meantime.”

“Yes, Faust.”

“Oh, Daddy!? Daddy!!!”

Lucia calls me in great bewilderment at the sudden occurrence, but my determination is already firm.

From now on, Lucia must taste the world and learn to live in a human society.
