My Wife Is the Devil

“…therefore, the Romans who have given them have cast upon the demons the eternally invincible curse of truth, and have been gracious to the sun, so that they will not come out under the sun.”

Kryle, who was taking a class on demons, tilted his head and asked the priest of Nogu.

“Then, priest, if you want to find out if you are a demon or not, just say, “Tell me if you are a demon or a man!” Isn’t it okay to ask?”

To Kryle’s question, the priest glanced at Julius who was dozing behind him, and then answered.

“Hmm, Kryle Pre-Inquisitor asked a good question, as the Bible says, demons cannot lie, but they have come up with a devious trick to twist such a god’s curse.”

Looking at the prospective inquisitors who still looked at him as if he didn’t know, the priest asked a question.

“What do you think is the reason why the devil covets the body of a living or dead human?”

“Um… because it’s a special dish that suits your taste?”

At Kryle’s words, laughter erupted from everywhere. Julius was still curled up behind Kryle and dozing.

“haha! Interesting answer, obviously the reason they covet the human body is to eat it. But it is not the same thing as eating rice to satisfy hunger.”

Everyone held their breath and began to listen to the priest’s words.

“The reason they want to devour human flesh is to overturn its existence.”

“What does that mean?”

“When demons acquire a human body, not only their appearance but also their existence mimics a human being, that is, they are no different from humans, except that they cannot play under the sun until they reveal their evil nature. It deceives the eyes of the Lord and takes the place of human souls, so that even if you say you are human, you will not be lying.”

“Is there any way to get the devil out of the demon’s body?”

someone asked The priest shook his head slightly.

“There is no way to force them to separate, except for a way to get them back through a bet with the devil… It is also the reason why many people had no choice but to sacrifice in the war 20 years ago. We don’t have any other option than to burn the whole body, it’s a pity.”

“I can’t speak lies, but since they deceive humans in a clever and wicked way, demons are also beings that need to be destroyed.”

“’I didn’t tell a lie.’ These are the words that demons usually say, so today’s lesson will end here. After much effort, flowers have bloomed, so training is off and going to festivals…”

– Droop, come, bang!

When the hell happened, Julius jumped out of his seat before the priest could even finish speaking and ran out of the classroom excitedly. Cryle, who looked at the distant back of his hometown friend as he ran away excitedly at the thought of meeting Cecil, took a brief sigh and turned his head to look out the window.

It was a day in May when the flowers in full bloom boasted their fragrance.

On the table were two plates of deliciously steaming steaks.

Her jet-black hair was neatly tied back, and her black eyes, which were different from the color, looked at my plate and the blonde man sitting in front of me in turn.

Seeing him restless like a puppy trying to get permission from his master, Julius said in a very caring tone.

“The food will be cold. Let’s eat.”

Leaving those words, Thalia saw Julius slowly starting to slice the steak in front of me, holding a knife in her hand and starting slicing meat as if following Julius, but she couldn’t cut properly and was just stumped.

Julius glanced at the scene and opened his mouth, changing her plate with his finely cut steak.

“Since you were little, you couldn’t stand a knife, and whenever you eat meat, I used to cut it like this.

“Oh, thank you. Senior… ah… .”

Seeing Julius smiling brightly as she recalled her childhood memories, Thalia bowed her red face and only shoved the meat into her mouth.

Thalia opened her mouth again while drinking coffee for dessert after eating.

“So how long do you plan on staying here?”

She spoke while glancing at Julius’ left hand.

“You look pretty hateful to the denomination, but it’s actually downgraded, so it’s probably going to be longer than you think. But because I’m not comfortable here?”

Julius, who felt the guilt that had been holding him down a little at the sight of Talia talking to him while glanced at him, made fun of her with a slightly mischievous expression just like he did when he was a child.

“Ah… no! If you stay here, it’s me! Whatever it is, you can stay for the rest of your life.”

As she waved her arms and made excuses, he replied with a smile.

“…the rest of your life will probably be hard, but you will be able to spend a year together.”

The way he answered that way seemed sad for some reason,

Thalia couldn’t help but blink blankly.

***

“So, what happened all of a sudden? Priest Brookin.”

Emily, one of the only two priests in Kente Village, opened her mouth when she saw the elderly priest Brukin, who had a serious expression on his face.

“The reliable guy responsible for contacting the capital’s church headquarters has died, so it’s a major accident.”

Brookin glanced at the broken mirror in the corner of the small room, sighing and scratching his head.

Emily glanced at a single strand of hair that had fallen to the floor, then tilted her head and said to him.

“Telmere’s mirror doesn’t break unless it’s a bit of a mess, so what the hell did you do? If you are angry that your hair is falling out and damage the property of the church, you will be in trouble.”

“…I didn’t break it, it happened because I forcibly disconnected it from the other side. Emily Priest. But is it because of my mood that I keep feeling bones in my words?”

Avoiding Brookin’s stinging gaze, Emily smiled awkwardly and twisted her hair.

“Anyway, if you’ve been cut off from the church, isn’t there something you’re thinking about? I don’t know for sure, but when the time comes, we will restore it.”

“I was trying to secretly ask my friend in the capital what happened to Julius, but this got in trouble.”

“Then I can write a letter, too. Now that Julius is back and Cryle is also an elite inquisitor, it’s okay to keep in touch with each other.

“It’s not because of the rules of the heresy inquisitor belonging to the Central Church.”

“? Then why are you doing this?”

“Because of the last order from the church before the mirror broke.”

“What was the last order you gave?”

“It was a command to be silent.”

“…An indefinite wait order, did something big happen to the denomination? Is there going to be a war like 20 years ago? .”

“So I’ll have to go to the capital myself, because I’m stuck in a village like this and I don’t know anything about it. It’s a command, it’s Nabal, I’ll have to find out for myself how things are going.”

“Right now? So what about the church?”

“Leave that to our trusty priest Emily, take good care of the church.”

After a strong pat on Emily’s shoulder

After saying those words, Brookin put on a shabby robe on a hanger, pulled out a heavy bag from under the desk, and slowly walked out.

“Say hello to Julius and Thalia before you go!”

Emily, distracted by Brukin’s sudden departure, suddenly looked at a sheet of paper on her desk.

[Wheatfield Lady’s Inn Bill]

[About 5000 silver in one credit run in front of the church…]

“hey! You crazy old man!!! Come back now!!”

In response to Emily’s anger, who screamed at the whale with a ghostly expression, Brookin raised her divine power and ran away at the speed of the wind.

Brukin in charge of Julius’s education as a child.

He was a troublemaker, notorious for not paying his nights.

***

Julius, who left after a very leisurely lunch, stood in the sun and remembered the events of yesterday that he had been trying not to think about.

‘I seduce you and you hold on. It’s a simple bet.’

Just as the Lord rebukes the foolishness of himself for accepting a bet with the devil, unable to give up even the body of his dead wife.

The light of the sun pouring down on Julius approached him as if his whole body was on fire.

Beside her, Thalia grabbed her sleeve and led her somewhere, chattering, but nothing was heard.

When night falls, you must meet the devil again. At least during the day, if I don’t organize my thoughts and take measures against the temptations of the devil in the future… .

The reason Julius, possessed by the obsession, came to his senses was the shocking sight he saw when he entered the market with Thalia.

Coveted brown hair, reminiscent of a goddess, with side hair braided back, fluttered in the wind.

The long skirt that shakes with every step shows off her neat charm,

What is contained in the slightly cloudy blue eyes is the world, step by step walking on the street lit by the warm sunlight

The scent of the old Cecil rises. Julius paused for a moment and looked at it.

sunshine?

His blankly staring eyes turned to the sky.

It is time to run towards the evening after noon, but the sun is still spreading God’s grace to the world.

The devil now resides in Cecil’s body.

If this continues, Cecil’s body will burn down!

Julius took off his robe and ran desperately, feeling his breath suffocating.

The devil looked around and saw Julius running, showing a welcome expression.

“Ah, you were here, Julius… ”

Before he could finish those words, Julius draped the robe over the devil’s head.

In an instant, the demon staggered around in his veiled vision, and then swung his arms.

“Hey, what is this! Release it quickly!”

Julius grabbed hold of the devil who was trying to take off the robe he was wearing over and over again.

The market has been quiet for a long time already at the ghastly sight.

Thalia, who was running from afar, saw it and

He stiffened in that posture, slammed and rolled on the floor.

Julius growled slightly towards her, who was struggling in her arms.

“Are you planning to burn Cecil’s body? What were you thinking about coming out at this hour?”

The demon, who was held tight in his body, opened his mouth to make an excuse, but no words came out.

“Oh, no, I’m day… I… and… I don’t care… Eupeup!”

Julius tried to lift himself up and drag him home, but

At that moment, the devil twisted his body with light movements like a cat and escaped his hand.

She shows off a stylish landing with her rich brown hair fluttering.

Admiration leaked from people’s mouths, and soon the market was filled with applause.

Julius hurriedly looked back, but there was only the figure of Cecil standing still under the sun.

How can the devil stand so well under the sun?

Julius’s head went blank at the situation beyond common sense.

I’ve seen and killed a lot of demons, but I’ve never heard or seen of a demon that works just fine under the sun.

After Julius, who was trying to somehow understand the situation, Finn, a baker who has been doing business in the market for 15 years, asked her a question.

“Who is the young lady, and the mischievous Julius, who came back, is trying to boss him in broad daylight?”

The eyes of the people gathered in the market barrel are focused on the devil’s mouth.

Thalia, who barely got up from a fall, swallowed a single gulp of saliva, and her mouth opened.

“I’m sorry for making a fuss, everyone. We must have been very lonely. How long has it been since I saw you this morning, huh?”

Seeing her covering her mouth and letting out her characteristic laughter, Thalia understood the words that flowed into her ears and fell back and fainted.

When the villagers gathered at the market heard that, there was literally a riot.

“Julius is married, what does this mean!!!!!”

“Thalia passed out! Bring Sister Emily here!!”

“Is that Julius married? That’s the most surprising news I’ve heard in 10 years!”

“uh? Isn’t that guy Brukin over there? Oh, oh, oh, Priest! You have to pay the money back!”

The baker, Finn, wrapped his arms around Julius’ neck and shook his body.

“If you have such a true s*xiness, you should tell me right away! A cute little guy with his mouth shut.”

“I heard that Julius is married, and if you act as a heretic inquisitor in the center, you will be banned from contacting me, but if something like this happens, I will tell you secretly, this master is heartbreaking.”

Brukin, who was running fast as if he was being chased by someone, stepped back and told Julius what to say.

“at there! What a damn inspiration!”

At the shouting from behind, Brukin started running again, and Julius’s gaze didn’t stop falling from her hazy eyes, even as the market became a mess.

“It’s such a lively and nice town, honey.”

The words I had hoped to hear here in the past flow into my ears.

ah… How nice it would be if you were the real Cecil standing there

The hometown I wanted to come with Cecil, the things I wanted to go through with her

The devil defiles his wish…

Is this also a punishment for disobeying the will of the Lord?

The sun mercilessly shone on him and her.

***

Thalia, who had fainted, barely came to her senses after receiving divine healing from Emily, who ran after Priest Brookin.

When he saw Cecil approaching and greeting him, he fainted once again,

The villagers decided to hold a festival to celebrate the return of Julius and his marriage to Cecil.

Cecil smiled softly as he saw the sight entering those hazy eyes.

.

.

The devil grants their wishes even if they don’t want them.

Even if it twists, soils, and breaks.

That is why they are called evil,

And she, too, was evil to Julius.
