The Devil Who Grants Wishes

Dumpling

“…”

The hero’s party and Lena are on their way to their destination in a wagon as they have done so far.

However, the atmosphere is completely different from before.

heavy and cold

To the extent that no one can open their mouth hastily.

“Ahhh…”

In this atmosphere, there was only Lena who was just a companion, not the hero’s party.

Lena, who is sitting on the carriage looking at the scenery, yawns openly and complains to herself.

‘Really, I don’t understand either of them.’

Whatever the misunderstanding, I can’t say anything because I’m not a party to the fight.

But it’s been a day since we fought, but isn’t it a bit still like this?

After all, human beings are too deep in their emotions. Like the elves, you have to brush it off quickly.

‘…Whew.’

When I glanced at Iris with a squint, the grass was still dead from yesterday.

Even on such a sunny day, even though there is no shade to cover the face, the optical illusion of the face is too dark.

It’s only been a week since I’ve seen it, but the Iris I’ve seen so far has not been like this.

He had a sense of duty to protect the world, he worked hard to protect someone, he was very curious, and he was very sociable, so he was able to converse well with a girl like me without hesitation.

But the present Iris is not like that.

It’s just trembling like a little cat afraid of being hated.

………….

‘Are you sleeping in the forest today… It’s okay.’

As the sun went down and I could no longer ride the wagon, I immediately set up a temporary lodging and camped out.

Humans do not set up camps in these forests because visibility is limited due to too many obstacles, but since there are no fields in this area, only forests, there seems to be no other option.

Of course, what can’t be helped is the circumstances of the humans, and I’m so happy that I’ve been sleeping in the woods for a long time.

It cannot be compared with the comfort of my hometown of the Great Forest, but it is still good enough.

Well, then, after a long time, I climbed a tree and fell asleep.

“Iris.”

“Hey… uh, huh…?”

“…heh, I’m sorry about yesterday. I guess I didn’t think about how Iris felt.”

At that moment, the event that has been waiting for a whole day begins finally.

Iris slowly turns her head in surprise at the fact that she calls herself, and the group apologizes to Iris, wondering whether they felt guilty when they saw it.

Hey, you’re finally apologizing.

No, if you’re going to apologize anyway, do it early. Why do you apologize after the sun goes down no matter how much you sleep?

In the meantime, the atmosphere was so bad that it was uncomfortable… Well, I’ve done it before, so it’s okay.

“Ah, no… I’m more sorry… I said something so bad…”

“Hahaha… It’s a bad word, technically speaking, isn’t it true?”

“👌👌”

It must have been a joke that the party wanted to lighten the mood in their own way, but now Iris is not receiving it as a joke.

Iris was startled, and then gasped for breath.

I can’t even think of it as Iris, who somehow clings to me and talks to me, even if I give off a tee that I don’t like outright.

“No, no! It’s not like that… I mean, we wouldn’t have gotten this far without Iris. Thank you so much!”

“really…?”

“Then, of course not!”

And seeing such a scene, Iris’s co-workers are also terrified.

To receive such a joke that was just trying to solve the hard atmosphere would have been unimaginable for those who remembered the former sociable Iris.

The party hurriedly said that they did not intend to do that, and at the same time hurriedly said, relieved Iris.

“So, what we wanted to say was… huh, we also want to protect Iris.”

“You want to protect…?”

“Yeah, so would you like to practice together? How about training together and resting together?”

“👌👌”

Iris breathes in the same way as before, but there is no fear or anxiety there.

He is simply deeply moved, tears in his eyes, and slowly nodding his head.

And Lena, who was watching all of that from the tree, admires herself.

‘Hey, pass that on like that.’

Are you smart?

As pointed out by Iris, it is a trick that can eliminate their weakness and, along with that, even prevent Iris from overtraining.

Well, if you have come up with such a perfect answer, even if it’s late, I can fully understand.

Also, humans are fun.

Now, shall I go to sleep soon?

**********

Lucia, who was lost in death, also returned to her original state, and the banquet that had caused a riot was also settled.

It’s not perfect, of course, but it’s good enough.

[The Emperor has been slain by the devil!]

[Count Erlingen has summoned a demon!!]

It was not possible to set the whole system backward in time, and brainwashing what happened as something that never happened from the beginning is more likely to cause problems later because it creates an empty space in the memory, so it is better to remember what happened than to erase the memory altogether. A hint was given to the people of the system to remember it as something similar but different.

For example, not the emperor, but Count Erlingen, who was the organizer of the banquet, led the summoning of demons, and the reason the emperor raised an army was to prevent Count Erlingen, or something like this.

Count Erlingen’s gasoline in the mansion at the time was completely killed by the cranion fever, and the Erlingen family was also an aristocratic family without a branch, so it was easy to overturn it.

Of course, this alone cannot be resolved by written documents or those who directly knew that the emperor would summon a demon.

[Seo, the documents are all…]

[You have worked hard, now rest in peace.]

[Shh, resting… Didn’t you say you’d save me?! Please save me! Live- ah, ah, ah…]

So, things got a little messy.

There was no time to check each document one by one, so all the documents in the Imperial Palace were scraped together and incinerated entirely at once.

Those who knew the emperor’s intentions early had no choice but to make hints by hand one by one.

It was really too complicated. It took quite a bit of time.

‘Still, I finished it somehow.’

Of course, if Aigo had helped in this process, a lot of things would have been easier, but it wasn’t as much as she was still not in normal shape and, above all, she was being disciplined for not caring for Lucia properly.

Of course, handling all of that by myself was more than cumbersome and difficult, but I had no choice but to do it.

“Daddy, thank you for listening to me.”

“It’s not a big deal, but it’s forced, you’re doing yourself too much.”

It was the first thing Lucia asked me to do.

Of course, there were many things that Lucia had asked of me throughout her life, but none of them were as difficult as this one.

Because it was only very trivial things, such as not wanting to be alone, wanting to have a cat, or wanting to feed him.

In the first place, as a child, of course, as a father, these are things that I can ask for, so honestly, I can’t say that these things are requests.

If that’s the case, then it’s okay to take a look at Lucia’s first request to me.

How the hell could you say no?

“If you have any requests from now on, just tell me, I’ll do whatever it takes.”

I’m at the age of going through puberty, but I can’t help but want something.

It makes no sense to say that he does not speak, he is neither Buddha nor Jesus, and he has no desire.

Whether she wants to eat luxurious food, wear luxurious clothes, or want to live in a luxurious house, Lucia would like to ask if she would like to ask for something like this time.

“…any request?”

“okay.”

“…”

When I finish my words, Lucia is deep in thought.

You seem to be thinking about whether you can really say something that you haven’t been able to say for a while.

Also, my prediction was correct.

There’s no way I’m not talking about anything I want.

“…Dad.”

After a while, Lucia’s eyes, which had been pondering for a long time, became more serious than ever.

The eyes, which were red due to the influence of Magi, are showing off their uniqueness in the moonlight.

Looks like you’ve finally made up your mind

what to say As a teenage girl, should I ask her to feed her something delicious? But since this is natural, it cannot be regarded as a request—

“I’m Dad-“

hey hey

“🏆”

At that moment, a magic circle of wishes suddenly appeared on the feet.

What, why is this appearing now?

Originally, they always appear at will at any time… But why the hell is it now!?

“Lucia, don’t go.”

“…yes.”

Faust, no matter how much people hate tormenting the devil, I mean, watch the time and the situation.

I’ll have to do something with this body that keeps moving on its own, but I haven’t had any income for 15 years already.

………….

‘eww…’

I still haven’t gotten used to this feeling.

The future of getting used to the feeling of drinking a 1L liquid made by mixing soy sauce and cooking oil 1:1 at a time doesn’t seem likely to come.

What kind of child are you this time? Who at this time- um?

soo’

“…”

Is this the first time you see something like this?

There is only fire all around. I look into the forest, but there is not a single mature tree.

Literally, the whole forest is burning with firewood.

To make a wish to the devil in a place like this, what the hell?

“Aaa!!!!!”

At that moment, I heard a scream that seemed to come out of my soul rather than my body.

It is so desperate and desperate that the devil’s body reacts at will.

‘That’s…’

When I turned my head to the place where I heard the scream, I saw a very familiar girl, the hero, crying while sitting on the ground.

And in front of the hero… innumerable corpses are spread out.

Goblin corpses, orc corpses, troll corpses, ghoul corpses, werewolf corpses, and finally… human corpses, literally all kinds of corpses.
