The Devil Who Grants Wishes

“You worked hard today too, Martino.”

“You’ve worked hard, too. Go in and get some rest.”

Uh huh… I barely finished today.

It’s hard because there are so many patients these days. Until a few days ago, I just passed it on thinking that today was a bit of an unusual day, but since it continues for several days, I don’t appreciate it, I just feel like I’m going to die of hardship.

Even the symptoms are similar, so it feels like a cumbersome and simple task.

In general, if the symptoms of all patients are similar, the plague should be suspected, but the symptoms they show cannot be explained by the plague.

I have hallucinations, hallucinations, and nightmares. Following this, his temper becomes very weak, like a dog that has been abused by humans.

Wouldn’t the plague not show these symptoms?

These symptoms are often caused by the devil, so I looked closely to see if the devil appeared…

‘It was nonsense.’

No traces of the devil could be found, and the condition of the residents was too normal for the devil to do it. If the devil appeared and did terrible things, it would not end with just this prank.

In the end, I had to take care of the influx of patients without knowing the cause, and it has already been a month now.

I will die… I will die…

Uh-huh, I need to go for a walk to relieve my frustration.

Quietly Quietly

Hey, the air is nice. The stream is clear and there is no musty smell of the city.

It’s a really lively environment, so you feel at peace.

Contrary to the mind, the body is a demon, so far from being stable, it is uncomfortable, so it is going crazy and fluttering.

‘Lucia is… okay.’

When I turned on the magic vision and checked the condition of Lucia, who was placed in the distance, I saw that the mana accumulated in Lucia’s body was escaping into the air. Nature, full of vitality, is consuming and consuming the mana accumulated in Lucia.

Hey… it’s real.

I know both Faust and I only through knowledge, so I’ve never actually tried it, but I’m glad I did.

I must have ate a lot of the magic and mana that flowed out of me over the course of a year, but seeing it restored so quickly, would it be over unexpectedly quickly?

fresh-fresh-

It works so well that Lucia, who had been groaning in pain until just before, is now in pain as if she were sleeping peacefully.

Mana stones are still coming out mixed with sweat, but it seems that Lucia has already gotten used to it.

‘Uh… um… It’s getting better, but it’s still in a serious condition, but it’s not at all painful, it’s sleeping comfortably… No, it’s good, but it’s a bit surprising.’

It’s a little cryptic, but I’m relieved that Lucia’s condition has improved, and I wipe off the magic stones that are mixed with sweat on Lucia’s skin.

Seeing that the towel was dyed dark red in an instant, Lucia’s body still had a lot of mana piled up. Even after wiping and wiping, the towel does not come clean.

‘It wasn’t forcibly shoved in, it was absorbing the mana that was naturally released.

Even if there is a lot of mana in the environment, in general, it is difficult to suffer from managuada because the body can no longer absorb mana like a bowl full of water and let it flow out. it seems it was

Because of that, I received and received mana, but soon the limit came, and I suffered from such a serious mana overdue.

If this assumption is correct, Lucia’s talent would be at a very high level, but still, I don’t feel happy. That’s why Lucia is in pain as she pours dark red magic stones all over her body.

Of course, my fault for not paying attention to the mana released must be enough— huh? Wait a minute.

Was the manastone originally dark red?

‘I think there was only blue…’

From the magic stones that Noah saw through the monitor to the ones scattered in Faust’s subspace warehouse, all the magic stones he had seen so far had a blue color.

In the first place, mana is energy that has a blue color, and since it is a manastone that condensed and solidified that energy, the manastone has no choice but to have a blue color.

But what is this? Judging from the feeling of magic, it is definitely a manastone, but it is not some kind of bloodstone.

Passion-

‘…This is me too.’

As I spread my palms out and focused my mind, the devil’s mana burst out of my palms in an instant, and the color of the mana was dark red, exactly the same as the color of the mana stones that came out of Lucia’s body.

Si… foot…

After all, the mana that came out of my body caused Lucia to become addicted to mana, so of course the mana that comes out of Lucia’s body is also my mana. It’s too bad that you keep doing bad things to Lucia.

…but is this okay? The devil’s magic was accepted by the human, Lucia, a child.

“Dad…?”

When I was immersed in thought while looking at the magical powers rising from the palm of my hand, Lucia suddenly woke up and realized that she was in a place she had never seen before, and immediately looked for me with anxiety.

Even though you may well know that I’m not a person like you, but a demon, Lucia seems to really think of me as a father.

“Yeah, here it is.”

“Hehe…”

Lucia is still sweating in a cold sweat, but she is still very healthy. As soon as I say that I am by your side, the anxious face changes to a smile as if it were ever.

There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with your health.

You shouldn’t be vigilant, but it doesn’t seem like a big problem.

Just in case you don’t know, I’d like to bring a priest or a magician specializing in healing and check the condition, but since I’m a demon, I’m worried about whether they will listen to me– What, this.

‘…is it red?’

Looking at Lucia’s condition, I was thinking about what to do next… Lucia’s eyes are red.

Obviously… Lucia’s eyes are black…

Uh… um…

f*ck off.

where’s the priest

**********

‘This…’

As I was about to go around the city almost once and return to the temple, I felt a very reluctant energy in the slum.

If it had been in the past, I would have overlooked it without noticing it, but I know, having dealt with countless patients.

This energy is similar to the energy felt by the patients who have rapidly increased. That’s so appalling.

“Priest? That’s a slum, come on out!!”

“I’m deaf. I know.”

eh, noisy.

He doesn’t seem to feel this energy.

“…Hmm.”

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the slums… but nothing has changed.

After all, if there are changes in the slums, there is no reason to call them slums. This is always the last bastion where the poor gather.

“Hey, Martino…”

“Even the ghettos have eyes and common sense. I know what will happen if they touch me, so will they touch me?”

And there’s no reason to touch it anyway.

Do you think I’ve been doing charity work for nothing? The ghettos also benefited a lot from it, so I won’t bother.

Tsutsui, I can’t feel the energy and don’t even know this… It’s a new thing, but this guy can’t go up high.

‘Let’s see, I’ll be back a little further… Ah, I think I found it.’

As I walked along the trail of the energy, ignoring the low quality of the servant, I finally saw a house that seemed to be the cause of this energy.

To the naked eye, the outer walls are all rotten and crumbling, so they are insignificant, but each and every rotten and damaged fragment is weak, but you can feel its magical power. When you open the door, you can be sure that you will find a completely different landscape.

‘…Should I call reinforcements?’

Once seen from the outside, the kind of magic that transformed the inside of the building appears to be something between a hex and a witchcraft.

There may be witches inside, there may be undead, but… well, it’s difficult. Outside the building, I can’t be sure.

If I can handle it on my own, of course, I should open this door. Why do you call your allies to share your achievements?

But if it’s something I can’t handle on my own… um…

“I’ll open it.”

Well, then, you can go and run away.

It’s a bit cryptic because there’s an unknown magic that I can’t be sure of, but first of all, the magic itself and the magical power felt from the building are extremely low.

‘Well, I don’t think a great guy will come out-‘

good profit

“-…”

…what is it, here.

Contrary to the outward appearance, which cannot be expressed in words, the haunted house, the inside is very clean and luxurious.

Instead of the smell of filth that fills the slums, it is filled with the scent of flowers, and the floors are made of oiled plywood and the walls are made of high-quality marble. All of the furniture is made of precious materials such as ivory, ebony, and precious metals, reminiscent of the furniture used by the emperor.

From the outside, it looks like a place where a huge number of nobles stay. Even the Crown Prince is reluctant to enter.

However…

“Woo…!”

“Martino-sama?!”

Obviously, the scent of fragrant flowers tickles the nose of the body, but the disgusting smell ignores the scent of flowers and pollutes the soul.

It is different from the smell of filth, which the human body is inherently disgusting. Should it be said that the soul itself rejects it?

This is… the devil.

Dream

“Kyaah!!”

The moment he bowed his head to vomit, the beautiful flower planted in the huge pot next to the door suddenly twisted into a strange shape, and then showed a terrifying look.

The stamens and pistils have turned into a long cave whose depth is unknown, and the walls and petals of the cave are full of sharp fangs. Eyes appeared on the leaves, the green stems turned into red tentacles, and all kinds of tumors grew on the outside.

“Keep up?!”

It’s crazy

As he leans back, ignoring the fact that Toe is buried in his priest’s uniform, the servant next to him is immediately dragged away by the flower.

He tried to save the attendant, but it was too late from the moment he was caught. My head was completely smashed.

ugh- ugh-

The monster flower puts the servant’s upper body in his mouth, lifts his head and looks straight up, and then begins to literally crush the servant’s body with petals.

The bones are crushed by the petals, the flesh is crushed, and the thin seedlings are chewed and swallowed whole by the flower.

“Do, run away and join the reinforcements…”

Dumpling!

“…!?”

The monster flower was trying to run away as soon as it was distracted by the attendant, but suddenly the door slammed shut and entered the house. Even though he obviously just opened the door and didn’t enter the house.

It feels as if the house itself has come and swallowed me.

This… this is… what happened-

“…what?”

“Ahh…”

At that moment, the door inside the house opened, and the air vibrated, and an existence that should not be here—the devil appeared.

The pale face is like a corpse, and the red body seems to symbolize human suffering and blood.

oh god
