My Wife Is the Devil

144 – Epilogue (4)

#Waking up from a dream.

“Cecil. “Do you really like Julius that much?”

It was a world covered in faded colors.

I even felt the scent of nostalgic memories in a scene that felt like a scene from an old, old book.

“More than this father?”

Ermann spoke while making tea while standing in a corner of his office under the setting sun.

Pisik.

The corners of the mouth draw a light arc.

What is so funny?

The gentle-looking saint kept shaking his shoulders while brewing tea.

Ah…

… This is a dream.

Cecile, who was sitting on the sofa and blinking like an idiot, belatedly nodded her head.

It seemed like he was dreaming right now.

After I became a devil, I started dreaming less often. It took me a while to realize that this was a dream.

“What? It’s a long-awaited dream. “Why isn’t it a dark dream?”

As soon as she realized she was dreaming, Cecil opened her mouth and grunted.

If I was going to dream, I wanted it to be about a hot night with Julius.

But my long-awaited dream is blown away by such a dull and old-fashioned scene.

“What a waste.”

Cecil ended up making a sullen expression in this tearful situation.

“Why is it such a waste? “There’s nothing you can’t say in front of your father.”

Looking at Cecil, who was lying limp on the sofa like a wet puppy, Erman shook his head as if it was ridiculous.

Originally, he would have given Cecile, who was talking strange things, a sweet night’s sleep, but unfortunately, the saint’s hands were now filled with two steaming teacups.

“What kind of dream is a girl the size of a peanut dreaming about? “Stop talking nonsense and have a cup of tea.”

Takkong!

The saint put down a teacup on the small table and blew honey chestnuts on the top of Cecile’s head with his large hand.

I can’t believe there was such a method!

Cecil, who was caught off guard while lying limply on the sofa, was shaking with tears in her eyes.

“Ouch! It hurts! “Why are you hitting me?”

It was already a very boring car because Julius did not appear.

But my father, who was at best nothing more than an illusion in a dream, split the top of my head.

Now, it was beyond unfair and even sad.

“‘A woman must always be noble and chaste.’ ‘When a human being loses her dignity, she is no different from an animal.’ Didn’t my sister tell me that?”

Erman sat down in front of Cecil, who was struggling while holding the top of her head, and spoke.

A fresh scent of grass came from the small teacup in his hand.

“I am not human, I am only evil.”

Cecil muttered softly, clutching the top of her head with tears in her eyes.

Erman, who was sipping an unknown tea, narrowed his eyes at Cecil’s words.

“And humans are originally beasts. Especially on the bed──,”

Poof!

In the blink of an eye, Erman took out the Bible and aimed at the top of Cecil’s head, wondering where on earth he had gotten it from.

“Hmph!”

Even if you get hit once, you won’t get hit twice.

Cecil snorted as she quickly dodged the Bible that flew at her so slowly that it made her yawn.

Sigh!

“Evil!?”

I definitely avoided it.

The silver-colored Bible was placed like a lie on the head of the devil, who was full of agony.

“You avoided blood?”

Something is strange.

Now that I think about it, I heard that sometimes in dreams, your body doesn’t move as you want.

Is this something like that?

“What do you mean by avoiding a topic that is lying down?”

Huh? Lying down? I’m sitting right now

Cecil tilted her head at the cryptic words of Erman in the dream, who seemed like the real Erman.

“Ha. Even though you are still so young. “What kind of poetry collection is this?”

Erman in the dream sighed deeply as he glanced at the confused Cecile.

“Isn’t this place your dream? So, really, you must be lying down and trying to sleep right now.”

“Ah.”

In short, it was said that he couldn’t avoid it because his real body was lying down.

Cecil touched the still sore top of her head with her hand and put her mouth to the teacup.

“Two.”

…… It was extremely tasteless.

Since it was his dream, it seemed like his cooking skills were reflected in the car.

“So. I guess I’m asking again. “Is Julius really that good?”

As I was sipping a strange tea that seemed to be made by boiling some kind of weed, Erman in my dream asked me a question again.

Anyway, this is a dream, so you can tell me your true feelings.

Throwing the tea that tasted like garbage out the office window, Cecil turned her head towards Erman.

“Do you like it? No.”

I actually don’t like Julius.

From the beginning. How could a devil himself like him?

Erman widened his eyes, surprised by Cecil’s true intentions, which he had kept secret.

“That can’t be possible──,”

“Beyond the level of liking. “I’m worshiping you.”

With his hands clasped reverently in front of his chest, his eyes tightly closed as he continued speaking.

“He can’t sleep if he’s not around. He can’t breathe unless you kiss him. If he doesn’t hold my hand, I want to die of loneliness. If he doesn’t hold me tight—Keck!”

“Hey, you stupid guy.”

The saint, deceived by the devil’s ironic pun, clicked his tongue and blew honey balm on Cecil’s forehead.

Cecil quickly covered the top of her head with her hands, as if praying, and writhed in pain.

“What kind of worship is worship between married couples?”

“Mr. Lee! Don’t keep hitting me! “My head belongs to our Julius!”

“A married couple is an equal relationship in which each supports the other. See what I mean? In short, it is not polite to my husband to humble myself too much like you do.”

“Ugh. What if my head gets crushed? “If your head gets distorted, Julius will abandon you.”

“…… “You’re not listening at all.”

Erman, who had finished all the terrible tasting tea, shrugged his shoulders once.

Then. I gently put down the teacup.

Tak.

In an instant, the world colored with faded colors became quiet.

Cecil, who had once again developed a bad habit and had fallen into her own world, looked at Erman with a puzzled expression.

Why is my dad acting like that all of a sudden?

“It’s soon time to wake up from the dream.”

Looking at the sunset-colored sky outside the window, Erman opened her mouth.

“When you wake up from your dream, you will have everything you ever wanted.”

What do I want? All I want is Julius and Laira?

Cecil’s face, which only remembered the moment when her body was taken away by Arn Hill and she was rolling around in the mud, was filled with questions.

“Lie. I was abandoned. Julius was taken away by Arnhill.”

“Tsk tsk. “It has never been taken away from me in the first place.”

Ermann clicked her tongue at the stupid statement, ‘Julius was taken away by Arnhil.’

When will this foolish daughter realize how much she is loved?

Hoping that she would realize it as soon as possible, Ermann Left his last words to Cecil.

“There is no need to be too discouraged. “After all, he fell in love with you.”

“What are you talking about because it was stolen?”

“Don’t focus too much on being jealous and keeping other women in check. “It’s completely useless, and it’s something that diminishes one’s own happiness.”

“No! In fact, I paid too little attention to it! “I let my guard down and Julius was taken away at the end?!”

Cecil was furious as if she could never give up on that.

“…… Be jealous, but don’t show it outwardly.”

In the end, Erman had no choice but to compromise.

“Okay! Okay!”

“Anyway, this is all I wanted to say.”

Ermann nodded at her bright, child-like smile on Cecile’s lips.

Although it was small, there was a smile on his face as well.

Her lovely daughter was the prettiest when she smiled.

“Be happy, Cecil. “I must become a happier woman than anyone else in the world.”

As the sun set and the sunset light disappeared, it was dark inside her office.

Cecil’s eyes grew bigger and bigger as she saw Erman’s red eyes that were invisible due to the setting sun.

“Is this really your dad?”

I muttered the word ‘dad’ as if in a whisper.

“Never let go of the damn wolf and Layla’s hand. “As long as you don’t let go, happiness will last forever.”

“Ah, Dad.”

‘Damn wolf.’

This is what Erman calls Julius.

Cecil, who belatedly realized that Erman was not a dream, quickly reached out to him.

But before her hand even touched Erman,

The world melted first.

Bingle round.

The ceiling spun like a top.

My mind, which had been blurry, became faint.

“They can’t do it without you. So never again…….”

──Do not run away.

Only the saint’s last words echoed endlessly in my head.

***

…… I felt an unknown kindness in the breeze lightly brushing my cheek.

Cecil’s eyes, which had been closed in the pleasant coolness unique to early winter, slowly opened.

“…… “Don’t lift it.”

“…… Even if you hit the devil… Cheap….”

Bright light seeped in between the eyelids, and a loud noise slowly began to be heard from afar.

It was a human voice.

“She is my girl. So don’t touch it.”

“How dare you say such embarrassing things without even changing your expression?!”

“They say what’s mine is mine. “Why should I be ashamed?”

“Mine? What’s mine??”

The voices seemed to be owned by two people, a man and a girl.

The two had a heated argument, saying things like am I right or are you right?

The man was relatively calm, but the girl was excited as if she would explode at any moment.

Why on earth are you raising your voice so much?

Cecil, who had not yet escaped the spell, closed her eyes and pricked up her ears out of curiosity.

I habitually rubbed my cheek against the strong legs I was lying on.

“Yes.”

The man gave a short reply to the girl who raised her voice as if she was astonished.

In response to the man’s answer without a single hesitation, the girl took a moment to catch her breath, muttering words such as ‘Hot!’, ‘I’m sorry.’, And ‘This is ridiculous.’

“…… “You always bully me, can’t I get revenge?”

While catching her breath, the girl came up with a plausible answer and responded to her man’s words.

It seemed like the girl had always been bullied by a very evil witch.

The resentment dripping from her voice was like a fox gently wagging her tail.

…… Huh? Fox? What fox?

Cecil tilted her head at her own incomprehensible thoughts.

I should definitely feel sorry for him, but for some reason, I just felt like a fox.

“No.”

As she was desperately rolling her head in her sleep and thinking, ‘Why on earth is she a fox?’, The boy briefly answered the girl’s words.

The man seemed to have a quite blunt personality.

However, despite her personality, her voice was soft and cozy.

Ah…

… This is Julius.

Cecile, who had managed to recognize that the owner of the voice was Julius, with a head that was locked in water and could not turn, nodded her head slightly.

It didn’t matter if I couldn’t think logically.

The answer was decided from the moment you first heard the man’s voice and felt a soft and cozy feeling. You could call it instinct.

“…… “Umm.”

I don’t know what the situation was, but it was nice to listen to Julius’ voice with my eyes closed.

Let’s pretend to sleep just a little, just a little longer.

A small smile appeared on Cecile’s lips as she quietly snuggled into Julius’s arms, pretending to talk in her sleep.

Just five minutes. Just five more minutes like this…

“I’m definitely yours too. “Why are you treating me like this?”

“What!!”

… What more than five minutes! It was an emergency!

Who dares hit my Julius with the tail!

Cecil suddenly stood up as if she was about to be thrown away, and with her eyes wide open, she quickly turned her head.

The sight that caught my eye was a very different sight from the ‘land dyed in muted colors’ that I had seen before falling asleep.

The place where Cecil got up was on a low mountain with a gentle breeze blowing.

Red, yellow, white, pink.

It was a small garden full of pretty flowers that did not suit the early winter season. There was also a large beautiful tree at the top.

Like the flower garden, the beautiful tree was adorning its branches with unseasonably green leaves, and the girl who had dared to say something outrageous to Cecil’s only husband was right there.

“Wow, what a surprise!”

The girl’s eyes widened as she squatted in the shade of a tree and poked the brown-haired woman’s mouth with a blade of grass.

“What, uh, when did you wake up? “Did you just wake up to that sound?”

It is a devil staring at itself with its eyes open and blue.

If Nerondir had been a real girl and not a holy sword, she might have fainted instantly.

You’ve been sleeping so soundly like a rat dead that you suddenly wake up when you say something like this.

The Holy Sword, who was in tears at the pitifully unfair situation, stuttered towards Cecile, who had woken up, and opened her mouth.

“Oh, no! It’s a misunderstanding! Because I am a sword! “That’s why I said it!”

I desperately tried to find excuses to prevent the future from being thrown into an exploding volcano.

In the meantime, it was really disgusting to see the blade of grass in my hand being cleverly blown away by the wind.

“It’s true! Is it real?! Really misunderstanding….”

… Huh?

I laid down on the floor like that and prayed for a while.

The Holy Sword thought something was strange and glanced at Cecil.

“… ….”

Cecile, who had been sleeping ever since her body was taken away by Arnhill, had the appearance of a raw, demonic black magical energy.

There is no face, so there is no expression. Since he doesn’t speak, I don’t even know what he’s thinking.

No way… In a real volcano?

‘I guess they’re really going to throw me into a volcano! Oh my god!’

The Holy Sword, who had no time to know Cecile’s true intentions, guessed that she was about to throw herself into the volcano.

‘If I stay like this, I’ll really die!’

Without taking his eyes off Cecil, who was silently looking at him (honestly, I don’t know where he is looking. Could it be an illusion?).

The Holy Sword lay flat on the floor and began to run away.

I promised myself never to say things like I’m yours or anything like that again.

It was not easy to live as the holy sword of a well-to-do man.

“…… Ah.”

Meanwhile, the Holy Sword will creep up and run away.

Cecil could only gape as she stared at something.

“My body.”

He stretched out his hand toward his body, which was lying diagonally against the base of a beautiful tree.

The Holy Sword, who was very frightened, thought that Cecil was looking at her, but in fact, she was looking at the brown-haired woman lying next to the Holy Sword.

“My body!”

The body of Cecil Lionelta, wife of Inquisitor Julius Tapnel.

As soon as she realized that there was a unique body out there that could be his wife, Cecile started running without hesitation.

Without that, I can’t be Julius’ wife.

So, I have to get back to that body as soon as possible!

Quickly! Hurry!

“…… Didn’t I tell you not to stay away from me? “Cecil.”

However, Cecil’s desperate running ended before she could take a few steps.

Her Julius, who was sitting behind her and looking at her from afar, suddenly wrapped his arms around her bouncing waist and lifted her up.

“Aye!”

Cecile’s body, which was as light as downy (it was actually as light as downy because her body was made of demonic energy), was completely sucked into Julius’s arms.

“Let me go quickly! Please! Please!”

Cecile, who had unexpectedly been placed in Julius’s arms like a newborn baby, struggled, covering her face with her hands.

Cecile, now seen as a raw devil, was struggling with her shame. If she had been human, her entire face would have turned red.

‘I want to bite my tongue and die.’

If there was even a mouse hole, I wanted to crawl right into it.

If there were no mouse holes, I wanted them to at least powder it.

It was such a shame to see her demonic appearance in its raw form.

To the point where it can’t even be compared to showing one’s naked body.

‘I understand why you wear makeup.’

It was Cecil who fully understood the feelings of noble ladies who risked their lives for makeup.

“I don’t like it. “Because I don’t want to be away from you even for a moment.”

Julius, with a slightly mischievous smile on his face, said as he looked at Cecile, who was holding her body like a ball bug.

He felt very good now that he had avenged her wife and was able to be with her like this.

As he got in a good mood, his shoulders naturally relaxed, and as he became more relaxed, his old mischievous personality inevitably reared its head.

“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to continue to embrace you like this. Do you like it?”

Julius whispered softly as he hugged Cecile, who was struggling in shame, even tighter.

Cecil had the appearance of a devil rather than a human, but even that appearance was infinitely lovely to him.

“Quickly, quickly let go…” .”

Where has the usual momentum disappeared?

Cecil muttered in a voice as loud as a mosquito.

“I don’t want to look ugly…. So quickly….”

I could feel through my skin that my body was extremely rigid.

It seemed like Cecil truly thought that her current appearance was ugly.

“… ….”

It’s shameful that she didn’t listen and ran away on her own, but now she even doubts her husband’s aesthetic sense.

Feeling even more shameful, Julius placed Cecil on the floor without saying a word.

“…… !”

As soon as her feet touched the floor, Cecil started jumping towards herself as if she had been waiting.

I felt like I was just watching people running all day today.

Where do you keep running like that?

Ha.

With a deep sigh, Julius grabbed Cecil’s arm again.

It seems that his stubborn wife cannot understand what he is saying.

Then wouldn’t there be no choice but to tell her body directly?

“Aang! Why again!”

Just before regaining my body. Cecil, who was once again caught by Julius’ hand, turned her head towards him and whined.

“I’m a woman too! “I don’t want to be in this ugly state anymore!”

The naked human body can be shown hundreds or thousands of times. Because I was confident in the beauty of my body.

However, I hated showing the hideous body of a devil made up of demonic energy and the like, rather than dying.

If you keep seeing this ugly face, your love will fall apart.

I thought I would really go crazy if I lost the love I had achieved.

“It’s not ugly. To me, even this appearance of you is so beautiful that it makes me ecstatic.”

What is so ecstatic?

What is beautiful?

“Julius… “As expected, he’s kind.”

Cecil lowered his head at Julius’ extremely kind words.

It was obvious without even asking how he would now appear in the eyes of the angel’s representative.

It will be more disgusting than a street rat and more disgusting than a bug.

‘I don’t know if you give me a kiss.’

Yes, a kiss.

Unless you give me a deep kiss where tongues are intertwined.

No matter what Julius says, I can’t believe it.

Yes, definitely.

I shouldn’t believe it.

“───Heeup.”

Now. Whose tongue is this that is digging into my lips?

She looked at the man who wrapped his arms around her waist and casually started to explore her lips.

Cecil felt herself becoming dizzy.

***

…… It was a time when I still thought of Cecil as not Cecil.

There was a time when I received a flower garden from her as a gift.

The small garden decorated with colorful flowers and wooden huts had drawn Julius into a world of unbreakable dreams.

“So. “Do you have any faith now?”

At one time, I thought I wanted to get away from that place.

She once thought that she wanted to live there forever.

And now, finally, I woke up from my dream.

Julius…

“You are such a hard-working woman. “Cecil.”

… I was having an argument with my stubborn wife.

“All of you! This is not the time! Oh, come on! “You have to rinse your mouth quickly!”

Cecil fell into ecstasy at the deep kiss with Julius.

She was enjoying the afterglow of his kiss for a moment with her mouth wide open, but as soon as she came to her senses, she started flapping her arms and making a fuss.

“Why do I have to rinse my mouth?”

Julius smiled slightly as he looked at Cecile, who was fluttering around as if she were some kind of bird.

Even when I woke up from the dream, nothing changed.

As is the case in life, after a sleepless night of worry, surprisingly, the things you were worried about pass by in the blink of an eye.

“Ma, it’s Magi! It’s dirty! “You, a noble person, should not kiss such a filthy thing!”

There were all kinds of unfortunate endings that I could have imagined.

However, the ending that unfolded before her eyes at the end…… It was a cute fuss from a cute devil.

“It’s dirty.”

“Yes, it’s dirty. It’s dirty! So hurry up! Do it! “You shouldn’t say things like that!”

As I was muttering in a low voice, Cecil quickly held out a glass of water.

It was a real water glass, not an object made by magic.

“… ….”

I took a peek inside and saw the clear holy water sparkling and lapping in the sunlight.

It seemed like something that had an unusual sanctity about it was something I picked up when I went to the central church.

“Hmm.”

Julius, who pretended to be deep in thought for a moment, smiled.

“Cecil.”

He called out her beloved wife’s name and made a light gesture.

At his touch, the “Golden” Magical energy began to spread throughout the garden.

“This garden. “Doesn’t it look familiar to you?”

“Huh, huh?”

Cecil was completely speechless at the sight of Julius performing magic as if it were natural.

She only spits out the word ‘uh’ as if she were some kind of Ennin.

“I decorated it after the garden you brought me earlier as a gift.”

“Uh, uh, huh?”

“So… “How?”

Do you like it?

Click!

The flowers bloom more beautifully in response to Julius’s gestures.

Cecil dropped the glass of water she was holding in her hand at the clear evidence of ‘magic’.

“Uh. Uh.”

“If you are dirty now. “I, who accepted your ‘everything,’ would also be dirty.”

Julius slowly took a step toward Cecil and spoke.

I gently touched Cecil’s cheek as she seemed at a loss for what to do in an unimaginable situation.

“Do I look dirty in your eyes? Do you look like a dirty and ugly being?”

“Oh, no! No! Julius is not dirty!”

As she continued speaking and frowned slightly, negative words suddenly poured out of Cecile’s mouth.

It was a pun that any ‘athlete’ would make, but it was Cecil who died in Julius and lives in Julius. She just desperately shook her head.

“Ha, it’s not dirty at all! Ha, but! I──,”

“Just as I still look like myself in your eyes. Even in my eyes, you still look like you. So….”

Despite pouring out negative words, Cecil tries to somehow say that he is different.

Gently covering her mouth with his lips, Julius finished his sentence in a low voice.

“Never again. “Do not say anything that disparages you in front of me.”

“Two, never again?”

“Okay. Never again.”

“…… “Ho, I’m just asking just in case.”

Feeling regretful of the light kiss, Cecil glanced up at Julius.

“Let me say it again… “What happens?”

“Hmm… “If you ever say something like that again.”

“Well, what if you say something like that?”

It seemed like he was secretly hoping that there was a loophole in Julius’ words.

Julius opened his mouth with a stern expression so as not to give the evil devil any room to escape.

“I will hate you for one day.”

“Ha, day?!”

Cecil was startled by Julius’s lightning-quick words.

What a day. If you are hated by him for not just an hour, but even ‘one day’…

“Kaaa!”

… Just imagining it made me feel dizzy.

“Oh, no! “That will never happen!”

Cecile, who had vowed never to say things like demons being dirty or anything like that again, shook her head.

“I don’t want to hate you either. So….”

“Okay! “I will never say something like that again!”

“I just needed to know.”

“hehehehe.”

If it had a tail, it would probably have been wagging violently.

Julius smiled slightly as he touched Cecil’s cheek as she nodded, as if to say, ‘Unconditional surrender!’

“Okay, no more… ….”

At first glance, it seemed like everything that needed to be completed in the capital had been built.

So stop now. Let’s end this long date and go home.

… It was a car that was trying to make a fortune.

“Ah, Mr. Julius! Long time no see. Oh my god. “I never thought I’d see you here.”

A beautiful woman’s voice suddenly came from behind her.

Julius slowly turned his head towards the direction from which the sound was heard.

“…… Female?”

Cecile, who had been nodding her head with a bright smile (of course, although her expression was not visible), was also startled by the woman’s sudden voice and quickly turned her head.

“…… You are.”

“You, you!”

“Oh, hello! “I’m so glad you’re both safe.”

As Julius and Cecil’s eyes turned to her, the woman who had been waving her hand enthusiastically placed her hand on her own chest and let out a sigh of relief.

“I was very worried when you suddenly disappeared from Aran.”

The woman, with her beautiful blonde hair neatly styled up, gave off a feeling of aristocratic dignity.

“I am relieved to see that you are safe.”

A being who abandoned the body of the giant ‘Taesan Serpent’ and was reborn as the ‘Countess’.

Liliana Aran, a high-ranking demon who had now become a countess herself, was slowly walking towards them.

“Yes, why are you here!”

Cecile, who opened her eyes wide at the appearance of an unexpected enemy (this was her only thought), looked at Liliana and pointed at her.

It was a good atmosphere at best, and it was just the two of us spending time with Julius.

Suddenly it’s a woman! What the heck is going on!

“You should be in Aran now!”

“Ah….”

I don’t know if Cecil knows her heart that wants to get rid of her right away.

Liliana smiled and tilted her head as if she was embarrassed by Cecile’s words.

“You can’t look at it!”

Feeling threatened by her attractive appearance as a noblewoman, Cecil covered Julius’ eyes with his hand.

Her head had already been filled with thoughts such as ‘The devil’s body is dirty’ and thoughts such as ‘I must protect Julius from the evil noble wife who steals other people’s men!’ Instead of thoughts such as ‘The devil’s body is dirty’.

“Actually, I had no intention of coming to the capital.”

“If you don’t plan on coming, you shouldn’t come!”

“Suddenly the sky became strange, and I thought, ‘This is strange. Was the sky like that originally?’….”

“Nothing strange! “What’s so strange about this!”

“… “I came all the way here at the request of Jifnel, whom I met while eating steak.”

It’s really delicious, veal steak.

The Countess, who suspiciously likes veal steak, finished her sentence with a happy smile.

“Steak? Angel of love?”

In a situation where she couldn’t even guess what was happening, Cecil even felt a slight sense of dizziness.

“W-I don’t know what you’re talking about. Well, that’s right. But!”

Cecil continued her words, blocking Liliana’s path with her solemn attitude.

She also pointed to her uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in front of her Julius and herself.

“You! You don’t know how to use magic or anything! “But how did you get here!”

Taishan snake. Liliana was clearly a demon who couldn’t use magic.

How on earth did she, who is so stupid and stupid instead of smart, use magic to come all the way here to steal Julius?

Cecile’s shoulders trembled at the extremely absurd emergency situation.

“My brain has gotten a little better since I became a human.”

The reason why the emergency occurred was surprisingly simple.

Liliana blushed with embarrassment, scratched her cheek and opened her mouth.

“And, because Jifnel, who suddenly fell from the sky, earnestly requested. “I worked hard and succeeded!”

“…… Oh, no way. Come to think of it. “Is that woman here now too?”

Cecil felt cold at the angel’s name, which reminded her of the terrible things that had happened in Aran.

Even her married wife, Liliana, is in danger. How much more so if a noble angel appears here!

“What? “This strange flower garden.”

“Oh, you’re there at the right time! “I guess you’ve finished some urgent business.”

“…… !!”

The beautiful woman’s voice echoed through Cecil and Julius’ flower garden once again.

An extremely cold voice that is completely opposite to Liliana’s soft voice.

Cecile’s entire body trembled and she slowly turned her head in the direction from which she heard her voice.

“It’s been a while, Julius.”

“Kyaaa!”

Screams erupted.

Where my gaze was directed, there was a beautiful angel with one wing dyed black.

Although it looked a little different from when I saw it before, the angel standing there was definitely Zifnel, the angel of love.

“I came to apologize for being rude to you earlier and to express my gratitude for finding the Bible.”

Unlike in Aran, where they attacked Julius as if they were going to eat him.

Jifnel, whom we met again, was showing a very limited attitude.

That too… To ‘Julius’.

“You, Julius. What do we do?”

It was a dilemma.

The Countess in front.

An angel of love was approaching from behind.

While I was letting my guard down, I was instantly surrounded by fire foxes!

“We are surrounded….”

Cecil began to cry at the desperate situation that happened in an instant.

“It’s okay, Cecil. “Neither of you came to steal me.”

Julius, who had already become accustomed to his wife’s reaction, comforted Cecil with a gentle smile.

But… ….

aaahhh───!

“I’m finally seeing your face!”

Like a lie, a third uninvited guest appeared in the sky.

“Julius!”

Pure white feathers filled the sky.

The identity of the uninvited guest floating in the sky with three pairs of wings fully spread is exactly that.

“My proud representative!”

The archangel he serves.

It was Tapnel, the angel of faith.

“Kyaaa—— evil.”

“… ….”

The back and forth was not enough, so Cecile, who had been screaming at the ‘woman’ who appeared from the sky, finally lost her mind.

“…… Omg!”

However, she immediately came to her senses as the scent of women tickled the tip of her nose.

Swish swish.

He quickly turned his head and figured out the escape route.

In front is the Countess. Behind is the angel of love.

The road to heaven was blocked by the angel of faith.

Then… ….

“Can I stop coming out now?”

Still.

The Holy Sword, who was hiding behind a beautiful tree, poked his head in with an awkward smile.

I thought it would be okay to come out in a somewhat noisy atmosphere.

But in the end, the Holy Sword’s judgment was a misjudgment itself.

“… Even though I am a holy sword by name, the devil seems to be aware of it. “Geomsaeng, I’m really sad, sad——Kk!”

“Get out of the way!”

I took a moment to sigh and lament that my life had become so twisted because of my damn master.

In the blink of an eye, the Holy Sword was grabbed by the collar by Cecil who appeared in front of him.

“───Ahhhhh!”

He was caught by the collar and sent straight into the sky.

Quaaa!

With a sound like a cannonball being fired, the holy sword was launched towards Tapnel.

“That’s great, Julius!”

Taphnel finally descended to earth after eternity to celebrate his representative.

“I would like to praise you for your great contribution. Prepare a special bouquet…… Hmm?”

She even prepared a bouquet of flowers herself to congratulate Julius for defeating Arnhill, but was momentarily taken aback by the sight of the Holy Sword flying at her.

That girl…… Who on earth?───

────Peoeoog!

“Ugh!”

“Oops!”

But before she could finish her thought, she was struck by Neron Dir, which flew like a cannonball, and was shot down.

The carefully prepared flower bouquet fluttered in vain in the air.

Tafnell, who lost her precious representative to a woman with whom she was married, was unable to even have a proper conversation with Julius until the end.

“Do, I’m back!”

Meanwhile. Julius and the uninvited guests took advantage of the opportunity to turn their eyes to the Holy Sword and Tapnel.

Cecile quickly regained her body and jumped up from her seat.

“Everything, I’m glad. Never… “I will never lose it again.”

Julius was lovely either way, but he still liked the human body made of blood and flesh better than the body of a demon made of demonic energy.

“Julius! “Here, here!”

Cecil, who had finished checking to see if anything had been damaged while her body was lost, waved her hand at Julius.

“…… “Why would you do this again?”

Julius, who was watching Tapnel helplessly being shot down by the holy sword thrown by the devil from afar, walked towards Cecil with a bitter smile.

Really, she is a woman with whom you will never be bored.

That’s why it’s better.

“Julius, there are too many women here.”

As her husband approached, Cecil quickly grabbed his hand and said,

Even though it wasn’t a serious situation at all, I was the only one who looked extremely serious and even lowered my voice.

“If things continue like this, those evil firefoxes might take Julius away. “Let’s run away from here!”

Julius seems to be a peasant’s wife taken by some evil lord.

Julius ended up bursting out laughing as he held onto the hand of Cecile, who was truly feeling a sense of crisis.

“hahahahaha!”

It was a refreshing laugh and laughter.

This was definitely the first time he had laughed this hard since the day he lost his wife.

“What! “I need to focus!”

Cecil, who could not understand Julius suddenly bursting into laughter in the midst of such a huge crisis, puffed out his cheeks and pinched his arm.

“We seriously need to run away!”

Even the appearance of heartache was endearing.

“Ha. So? “Where are you going to run away?”

Julius asked, playfully touching his wife’s swollen cheek.

“To a place where there are no women targeting Julius!”

Cecil said, pulling Julius’ hand.

Half of the people living in the world are women. It was truly absurd.

“Is there such a place?”

In keeping with Cecile’s steps gradually becoming faster, Julius also began to run lightly.

“I don’t know!”

Cecil hurriedly walked as she glanced at Liliana and Zifnel, who had bewildered faces.

Tadadadadak!

No, I was in no hurry so I started running in a panic.

“Anyway, we have to escape from here first!”

Cecile shouted as she ran along the road under the wide sky.

Her innocent face was revealed through her brown hair blowing in the wind.

It was as bright as a child.

It was the girl’s brightness that had once made Julius’ heart flutter.

“…… Okay.”

The pounding of my heart gradually became stronger.

Julius muttered quietly as he followed Cecil, who had started running towards the horizon.

Cecil Lionelta.

Her own wife was truly a woman who slept a lot.

Until noon, she was always in dreamland.

So……

“It’s still a long way from noon.”

Only until noon, only until I fully wake up from my dream.

Just until I wake up from my dream and picture a future with you.

Very briefly.

The lingering feeling of the dream I had with you…

… I will enjoy it.

#Birthday gift.

If you head to the northwest of the Kingdom of Lyriam, famous for being a kingdom of abundance and peace, you will be greeted by Kente Village, a small village with the large mountain range surrounding the kingdom in the background.

Looking at the golden rye fields swaying in the wind with the warm sunlight shining down, it was a place where travelers who had a long way to go suddenly felt at ease.

If you go a little further past the rich rye fields, the bustling village you see will show off its charm with a lively atmosphere that is completely different from the quiet atmosphere before.

If you go a little deeper, past the delicious-smelling street vendors and bustling inns, you will see the large church “Telmere” On the hill.

The mansion where Leila lived was located just inside the path leading to the church.

“Layla, you can call me stepmom.”

As she was eating cookies with a gloomy expression, her older sister, Thalia, who was sitting across from her, burst out with a bombshell.

“…… “Yes?”

Rayra opened her eyes wide, even forgetting the shocking fact that her mother was her demon.

What on earth is this sister talking about now?

“Hey, you crazy girl! “What on earth can you say in front of a child!”

Wow!

Emily, who was trying to cheer up her sagging mood next to her, was startled by Thalia’s bombshell and slapped her on the back.

“aaah! Why are you hitting me! “I’m serious!”

Talia, who had made the ‘stepmom’ remark in her bare mind, writhed in pain and screamed.

In her hands was a book titled [How to Seduce a Married Man].

Judging by the fact that it was written as volume 5, it seemed to be a book that was surprisingly in high demand.

Who on earth is in demand? … Everyone will know even if you don’t say it.

“Why are you holding something like this in front of a child, you burnt-out!”

Emily shouted, burning the masculine book that made her face heat up just by looking at the title.

I guess it was a mistake to call Thalia here.

Julius’s daughter, Leila, realized that Cecil was a devil, so she called him to comfort him.

She was trying to appease me by saying, ‘Layla, you can call me stepmom.’

“Ah! “My precious textbook!”

“What kind of textbook is this manly book? And. “Why did you put crayons on your lips again?”

Emily let out a laugh as she tapped Thalia’s lips, which had ridiculously thick lipstick on them.

This crazy girl. Does Cecil still think she can defeat that demon?

Even though you have experienced it with your own body?

Actually, Thalia wasn’t crazy at all.

Is the crazy woman being seduced by Julius, or is Julius driving the woman crazy?

Thinking that she should catch me sometime and think about it, Emily kicked Thalia, who came dressed as her stepmother.

“Wake up from your dream! “How long are you going to keep doing this?”

“I liked it first!”

I liked it first!

Roaming and rolling. Thalia was kicked by her foot and rolled all the way to her kitchen, curling her body into a ball and crying.

“Ha.”

I guess I’ll have to send Thalia up to the central church.

If Cecil, who returned, saw that, it was clear that he would seriously bury Thalia in the mountain behind her without the rats or her birds noticing.

“I’m sorry for looking ugly. “Layla.”

Emily prayed to her god to prevent Alley Leader Julius’s younger sister from being secretly buried by his wife.

Layra shook her head as she looked back and forth at Thalia and Emily, who were rolling around in her kitchen and desperately bursting into tears.

“No.”

“Rayra… “Are you really kind?”

“No, it’s not really.”

“Huh?”

“I’m used to this. “She often did that when she lived in the capital.”

I didn’t know that even my dad’s younger sister would like her dad. In fact, for her, this was a common occurrence that made her trip over her feet.

“My son says he’s popular. “My sisters came home every day.”

Every morning, Leila’s daily routine began with waking up the noble ladies who had collapsed in front of the gate exhausted from crying.

She gets dumped by Julius every time, but why doesn’t she know how to give up?

The noble ladies’ obsession with Julius was known beyond Liliam to other countries. At this point, the problem was not with the woman, but with Julius.

“There was also an older sister who gave me a shower every now and then.”

Layla shrugged her shoulders and munched on her snack.

“Huh.”

You grew up to be a scary man, Julius.

Emily, who realized the destructive charm(?) Of alley leader Julius, stuck out her tongue.

…… But wait a minute.

How on earth did you get married when you attract so many polarizing women?

I tilted my head to the side at a question that suddenly occurred to me.

“Hey, Cryil.”

Emily, curious as to how on earth Julius could have married Cecil, called Crayle.

“What is it?”

Kryle, who was busy writing something while sitting on the sofa, responded indifferently.

“Aren’t there Cecil and Julius? “How on earth did you two get married?”

How on earth did they get married when women were knocking on the door every night like zombies with their eyes wide open?

However, the answer was so simple that it seemed empty.

“That’s because Cecil was the strongest.”

Cryle spoke as if he were talking about the outcome of a gladiatorial contest rather than a marriage.

Rayla, who was pricking up her ears and pretending not to hear her, nodded her head slightly at Krail’s words.

“…… “You were talking about marriage, right?”

Emily asked back with a shocked expression.

“‘Marriage is war.’ That’s what his wife often said.”

Schuk suk. Said Cryil, writing down her notes tirelessly on her thick paper.

He was currently writing a report on the series of events surrounding Inquisitor Julius Tapnel.

“One time, he was secretly hiding in the ceiling of Julius’ room, so I kicked him out.”

As always, it was Julius’s responsibility to commit the crime. It was his responsibility to clean up afterwards.

[Heresy Inquisitor Julius Tapnel, his wife, who died 5 years ago…….]

I summarized the case clearly in neat handwriting and wrote a report to be submitted to superiors.

“You guys really had fun.”

“Thankfully, my room disappeared the next day.”

“…… “You’re kidding, right?”

“It’s not a joke.”

─You should interrupt. Disturbance!

The saint’s daughter took revenge by destroying the room just because she had disturbed Julius’s sleeping appearance.

Recalling Cecile’s anger as cold as frost when she was a girl, Krail stuck out her tongue.

“If only Julius didn’t like such scary women.”

“What if it wasn’t?”

“There may have been a bloody storm in the capital.”

“… ….”

Emily resolved not to ask any more questions about her Cecil.

“… “You were so cute when you were being held by Uncle Erman.”

I can’t believe that the peanut-sized baby who smiled brightly while being held in the arms of a saint later grew into such a terrifying woman.

I felt like my childhood innocence had been trampled upon.

There was no such thing as a cruel fairy tale.

“… “I’m going to drink some water and come back.”

Emily, with her childhood heart trampled and her heart broken, trudged to the kitchen.

Krail, who had been watching the back of the priestess for a moment, turned her head and looked at her Leila.

“So?”

Layla, who was overhearing the conversation between Cryil and Emily, was so startled that she dropped her snack.

Broken pieces of cookies littered the carpet.

“Are you done with all your heartache? “Little one.”

Cryle said as he put down the glasses he was wearing on the table.

The child, who seemed to have quite complicated feelings, pouted her mouth at Cryil’s words.

“Not really. “I didn’t give you any heartache or anything.”

She hides her true feelings very well, fearing that someone might think she is Julius’ daughter.

Kryle sighed, thinking it was time to put an end to this babysitting job.

“Ha. “It’s useless to be young, but her brain is good.”

“… ….”

“Yes, that’s right. “Your mother is the devil.”

Even if she tried to spin around, she wouldn’t even have her chin. She has no choice but to tell the truth here.

Rayla’s mother obediently admitted that she was a demon, and Krail followed her words.

“So? “How do you feel about getting the answer you want?”

“… ….”

“Do you want to get rid of her mother? “Do you hate your dad for being seduced by an evil devil?”

Rayra just shook her head without saying a word.

In fact, Cryle seemed to have a vague idea of why the child was upset.

Isn’t it obvious why children at that age get sulky?

No matter how mature Layra is, she is still a kid.

“I am. Even if I could go back to that time, I would do the same thing.”

“…… Why?”

Layla muttered softly.

The child could not understand why Cryle was doing such a thing.

“Because it seemed like Julius was going to die.”

Watching someone drowning on the ground was not a very pleasant experience.

“…… “Dad.”

Layla muttered quietly as she remembered her father, who always had a shadow on his face.

“And one more reason, I made a deal with the devil.”

The feeling of people outside the door… No, Kryle, who sensed the presence of a person and a demon, gestured towards Layla.

-Knock knock.

Just then, the sound of a knock on the mansion’s door reached Krail and Layla’s ears.

“Go and see.”

Layla stood up with her ears prickled at the sudden knocking sound.

Krail allowed her child to open the gift box.

“Actually, you don’t care about the fact that your mother is a devil.”

“… ….”

“I just want to see you quickly, but you won’t come to see me.”

“… ….”

“Isn’t that why you’re so upset?”

Park! Before Cryil could finish speaking, Layla got up from her seat and ran away.

─Mom!

She calls out to her mother, whom she has longed to see, and extends her hand toward her closed door.

“It’s obvious why the little boy is upset.”

Looking at Layla, leaning comfortably on her sofa, being held in the arms of Cecil and Julius.

Cryle muttered.

“I want to see you, but you won’t come to see me. “Is there more out there?”

Before winter comes.

It’s late, but I’m really glad I was able to give you a gift.

“Happy birthday.”

…… I hope you like your birthday present.

“Leila.”

#Birthday gift.
