My Wife Is the Devil

“yes? Why does the devil always win bets?”

The priest of Nogu, who is in charge of the theological education for the preliminary inquisitors, heard Kryle’s question and looked up at him.

“There are not many human beings who have intelligence far superior to the devil, and if they do, they might be able to win a bet with the devil, so why don’t they try to control the devil through them?”

“It’s a pretty bold statement, and it’s also blasphemous.”

The priest, who looked at Kryle with his head bowed slightly, gave an answer with a chuckle.

“The answer is surprisingly simple. Conversely, you should think about it, is that the answer?”

Kryle nodded his head as if he knew it, thanked him, and then left the training camp.

The air you breathe in is cold. Is winter coming soon?

Julius and Cecil can be seen in the distance with trees with bare branches in the background.

Cecil ran happily and Julius followed behind him with a bare face, a sight he didn’t want to see.

As they turned their heads in the direction they were running, they saw a sky covered with dark clouds.

It looked like the first snow had fallen.

Kryle fastened her collar and ran to Julius. Because it looked like an accident would have occurred if the two were stuck together until the night.

***

That evening, when the night was deepening, the town of Kente, which had a lot of commotion, was quiet as if what had happened during the day was a ghost.

A small light emanates from the crevice of the church that stands on the hill overlooking the village.

The dark-haired girl, no, Thalia, the heretic inquisitor of Kent, who had begun to give birth to a woman, was staring blankly at the candles illuminating the image of the chapel.

Emily, who was quietly watching the figure from behind, spoke to Talia without seeing it.

“ha… . Thalia, go home and get some sleep, how long are you going to be here?”

No answer comes back even after talking. Emily swept her hair once, and sat down next to Talia and gently wrapped her arms around her shoulders.

“If you work in the center, you can’t contact your relatives and you have to keep your marriage a secret. I know you’ve liked Julius since childhood, but it’s impossible to get back what you’ve already been next to that child, so calm down and get some sleep. . Is Julius the only man in the world?”

Even with Emily’s comfort, Thalia’s mood did not improve. What is this dark feeling that fills your heart? I’m sure the Lord would turn his head to that ugly heart if he saw me now.

“…if I had gone to the Central Church with my brothers… If so, would there have been a chance?”

Emily couldn’t answer the words that came out of her trembling mouth.

So the night went deep.

.

.

.

In the end, Thalia, who spent the night in the church with open eyes, started work with a gloomy atmosphere with wide eyes.

There are three reports of suspicion of heresy, the words are suspicion of heresy. In a village like this, the only reports of suspicion of heresy are illegal book distribution or perverts walking around naked.

Next to the desk where he was working, he glanced at the well-forged sword hanging on the wall, shook his head a few times, and then shook his head left and right again in surprise.

It was a really blasphemous thought.

Thinking like that in a play I saw with Julius and Kryle in the past?

Thalia ripped off her own head who had committed such a gloomy thought.

The play was about a duel between gentlemen over their fiancee.

When he saw it as a child, Kryle looked pathetic at Julius as he watched the play with his bright eyes, and now he seems to understand why.

.

.

“You can’t go around like this here, sir.”

Thalia is the first metamorphosis that often appears near the mill,

After fighting with Mr. Ronnell for nearly two hours, he finally managed to send him home.

You’re a pervert who walks around wearing only those shorts and bottoms, Mr. Ronnell wasn’t like that when he was young…

Ronnell, who could not marry and eventually became an old virgin, 15 years ago, when she was called a swordsman genius, said, ‘I will marry the person who broke me.’ He declared that he could not get married until he was over 30, so he lost his mind.

Sometimes when he comes to his senses, seeing what Julius brother is doing because he is the only hope, Thalia thought with a smile that we should never see each other.

I can’t laugh anymore As long as he couldn’t marry Julius’ brother, it was certain that he would die of old age as an old virgin…

With a gloomy imagination, she arrived at the bookstore in Manto, the only bookstore in the village where two reports of illegal book distribution were received.

“yes? Who is this, isn’t that our little girl, Thalia, who passed out yesterday? ha ha ha.”

Uncle Manto’s last words ended with that. Thalia, who fed her anger into the regime with anger, turned over the bookstore to find illegal books, and found two books with strange titles.

[Secret daily life of a bar girl]

The first book was burned with holy flames as soon as I saw the title. But when she saw the title of the second book, her eyes fluttered harder than ever.

[Dizzy relationship with a married man 1]

Thalia turned her head to see if no one was around, and then carefully put the book into her arms.

Returning quickly to the interrogation center, Thalia locked the door and closed the window for fear of anyone looking, and carefully opened the book.

[This still reaches you, kid.

-Mantoga, who has been watching you since you were little-]

A note sways through the empty bookshelves and falls to the floor. There was a sense of murder against Manto, but soon I felt grateful.

To have such an impure imagination, it was a stinging word that made him come to his senses, who had dreamed such an absurd idea, even if he blessed Julius’ brother-in-law’s marriage.

Thalia lit a flame, burned the book neatly, and opened the door and went out.

Tonight, we decided to hold a toast to celebrate Julius’s brother’s return and marriage.

As she leaves the interrogation center and goes down the hill with a lighter feeling, a dazzling golden light falls on her eyes.

Julius was looking at the sky with his eyes full of excellence, and no one called his wife could be seen nearby.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

My heart that has been captured at the most is trembling. Black emotions run through his heart like his own hair.

I liked it first, but if I had followed, the seat next to me would have been mine,

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Maybe the second one deserves it…

Thalia’s twinkling eyes became cloudy and then twinkled again.

After changing my mindset, my heart, which was heavy for some reason, becomes lighter.

In the distance, a woman dressed in a pure white dress is dancing towards Julius.

Thalia looked at her shaggy outfit, smiled as wide as a flower, and ran down the hill with her black hair fluttering.

Thalia Zipnell, her name with the name of the Angel of Charity.

The smile on her face certainly looked kind. Its insides were stained black.

A faint cry is heard from the wind blowing down the hill.

It must be the cry of the bookstore owner, Uncle Manto, who was trying to protect the innocence of a girl.

***

Unlike other places in the capital, Darkana, the capital of Liriam, covered with dark clouds, and other places in the capital where a gloomy atmosphere prevailed, the people of the Central Church, the heart of the Telmere Church, scattering the dignified brilliance as usual, were busy moving with a look of impatience. .

First Priest Rian swallowed dry saliva once and carefully knocked on the rather simple-looking door twice.

“Come in.”

When I entered the room, I saw an old sofa and table, and a bookshelf full of Bibles and hangers to hang clothes on the wall.

If Emily Priest of Kent saw it, he would tilt his head and make a fuss saying that it resembles Brukin’s room, and Erman, the saint of the time, was reading the documents with an indifferent expression.

“First Priest Rihanna sees the saint.”

He restrained Rian from bowing his head to take an example, and Erman rushed to report.

“Just look at it when it’s time to set up some manners.”

“… sorry. This is the news that Special Priest Brukin has just departed from Kente Village.”

“What else?”

“It is information that Julius’s wife was spotted at the same time in the village market.”

“Good work. to get away.”

In response to Erman’s cold reply, Rian shed a drop of a cold sweat and then cautiously stepped back and went out of the room.

Saint Erman, the head of the Telmere Church, who has a face that looks still young for his age, took off his glasses for a while for papers, touched his eyelids a couple of times, took a deep breath, and turned the chair around to see the only big one in the room. I turned my eyes to the window.

When I see the gray sky and heavy dark clouds that look like it will rain at any moment, I remember that day. The day Erman’s life was turned upside down, and everything started to go awry.

The denomination’s saint fell from that day. He secretly released and traded high-ranking demons who should not have been released, and slowly and deliberately blocked information going to Kente Village to deceive his close friend Brukin.

The power of the High Demon was really convenient.

In a deal with the nightmare, he handed over the body of Julius’s wife Cecil. Cryle, I ordered that idiot.

Like an angry bastard, Erman gradually broke the taboo he shouldn’t have done, but the plans in his head began to work together with astonishing precision. one year ahead

If you deceive everyone in the next year, your wish will come true.

“after… . Wait a minute, wait a minute, this father will surely save you.”

Erman’s room, a small portrait hanging on a bookshelf full of Bibles.

It depicts a girl with light brown hair and clear blue eyes, reminiscent of a rich wheat field, and a man with a solemn impression.

“I hope you enjoy sweet dreams in your hometown at the end of your life. Julius Tafnel.”

The fallen saint’s name is Erman Lionelta.

He was willing to dedicate the world to evil for the sake of his adopted daughter, Cecil, who would not hurt to put it in his eyes.

Thick raindrops begin to fall from the heavy dark clouds.

It was a day like autumn passing and winter approaching, with a faint moonlight glimmering through the dark clouds and pathetic rain like teardrops falling.

***

In the late evening when tiny lights of the moon and stars gather to illuminate the night sky, you can hear the rustling of the trees with their bare branches adorned with fallen leaves.

In front of Julius, a demon with a large shopping cart walks as if dancing.

After the fuss in the market stall during the day, the devil dragged Julius from place to place to shop.

As if he were a real wife, he introduced him as a husband with a smile and looked at the ingredients carefully, and the way he looked just like Cecil.

In fact, I had no experience of going to the grocery store with Cecil during my lifetime.

Julius felt an unbearable loathing at himself for seeing his precious wife overlaid by the devil.

At any moment, he would have to rip that abhorrent demon and burn his wife’s body, to prove to God that she was not defiled by the devil, and to seek the rest of her soul.

There must be families in the bodies of heretics and demons that he has killed so far.

He, who always tore them to pieces and burned them without hesitation, is arguing with a demon who pretends to be his wife.

It was a story that wouldn’t even be a joke without even a dry laugh.

The footsteps of the devil, who were gently stepping on the stones on the path, stopped.

As she spins in place, her long skirt gently unfolds and comes back like petals, and her pale pink lips like peaches speak out.

“You look bad, was there something you didn’t like?”

The devil who tilted his head as if he didn’t really know, how can a cute face look so abominable, Julius half-opened his eyes and looked at the devil.

“…are you really asking because you don’t know?”

“Well… . I think you did a good job of playing the role of wife, but you’re very picky in the morning, Rom’s child.”

“Do you think an ugly devil would really like it, dare you insult my wife?”

At Julius’s words, the devil lashed out and struck back.

“How ugly! I am the apex of a demon, where there are only twenty-four in this world. To speak that way about me, who roams under the sun and is called the king’s nightmare. Isn’t it written in the Bible in the first place?”

“There is nothing like you in the Bible. It’s not even funny that it’s a king’s nightmare.”

“Hey, profit! Let’s see, let’s see, so this is real!”

Perhaps he was really angry, where the relaxed atmosphere went and his ears turned red, and the angry demon shut his mouth like a honey-eaten dumbass at Julius’s reply.

“Heh, to say that the peak of the devil is twenty-four in the first place, seeing that he has more than twenty heads, it must be true that he is ugly.”

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Maybe it was a malfunction or the devil didn’t say anything. After looking up at the sky for a moment with a sigh, Julius passed the demon and moved to the mansion, but stopped at the words he heard from behind.

“Do you remember the last time I asked you what you didn’t like?”

“You can’t remember what you just said and go to sleep.”

“I really don’t understand, what’s wrong with you?”

“So, didn’t I tell you before, you such a wasteful devil…b.”

The ignorant figure from before disappears all over the place, and the turbid blue light that reminds him of the deep sea illuminates him.

“You’ve been lying to your mouth ever since.”

A small whisper of the devil passes through my ear.

Don’t let that make fun of your mouth any more.

“I told you to seduce me.”

Shut your mouth, you filthy devil.

“That’s why I made your wish come true.”

I didn’t want

“No, you wish. You could kill me right now, but you still can’t touch a single hair.”

That’s because even Cecil’s body is on fire. It’s not because I want you

“Then I will show you how to get me out of this body without burning it.”

“… … .”

The devil raises his claws and gently places his hand on his shoulder.

Two bodies touching each other enough to hear each other’s heartbeat

“Call the Holy Sword, if you really want it, it will pierce only me according to your will.”

“…it was just a solid sword.”

“The devil always tells the truth. Now, stretch out your hand. And I desperately want you to give me the strength to defeat that heinous demon.”

The devil’s left hand grabs Julius’s firm hand and slowly pulls it up.

It looks like lovers dancing.

Even the wind that has been blowing has stopped, and we can only hear each other’s heartbeats.

No matter how much he waited, the holy sword did not appear.

The devil, who secretly fell from Julius, looked at the starlight and spoke calmly.

“You have no intention of harming me, because honey wants Cecil to be alive and I am that Cecil.”

Cecil, who has already changed his tone of voice, smiles brightly and walks lightly carrying a shopping cart.

I hear a humming song that makes me feel very good.

Julius suddenly felt a drop of rain on his cheek and slowly lifted his head.

The moon and stars still illuminate the world by weaving their own light.

The devil always wins the bet. The reason was very simple.

-Because they’re always betting that they’ll win.

I suddenly remember the words of a close friend I left behind in the capital.

The sky was clear that night and the next day.

It was an autumn day without a single cloud.
