My Wife Is the Devil

dark red tentacles. A yellowish, sticky liquid.

Julius looked at the body of a high-ranking demon that had covered the entire palace before he knew it, and stroked his chin a couple of times.

Although they only left to listen to Lionelta’s proposal, the dark red tentacles that sang even more during that short time were enough to easily appreciate their terrifying appearance even in the alleyway where the Central Church is now.

Julius, feeling that the situation was not going well, climbed up on the roof of the small two-story house in front of the church building, narrowed his forehead, and was looking at the royal palace of Darcana.

“How come it gets bigger as time goes by.”

– Because it’s seafood. Didn’t it get fresh because it was raining?

“Hmm, there is no sign of rain at all.”

The holy sword neatly tied to his waist spit out a plausible reasoning.

Julius swept the roof he was standing on with his shoes once, then shook his head at the words of the Holy Sword.

“I can’t believe it rained while I was visiting Lionelta-sama’s nest.”

– No, I was just saying that.

“Because I was thinking the same thing. Of course, I didn’t think of the rain.”

Julius, who has broken down countless demons and the bones of heresy, has solved truly extraordinary cases.

Looking at the sudden growth of the tentacle demon, he was reminiscing about an event that had happened in the past.

“In the past, I have encountered a demon that grows suddenly just like that demon.”

-Somehow, the atmosphere is different from before. Yes, I have chosen such a trustworthy Julius as my master.

With a serious expression on his face, the holy sword spit out useless noises towards Julius, who opened his mouth as a heretic inquisitor.

Julius lightly ignored this and continued his conversation.

“It was about a year after Cecil passed away.”

– Can you please stop saying that crazy bitch’s name?

“At the time, I couldn’t stand Cecil’s death, so I was looking for something to fill my empty heart.”

– Whoa.

Julius thought that the story was going to be a little long, and then he spoke like that.

One day, a group of black jackdaws sat down on the eaves, where they had gathered, and continued to speak, tying the collars that had been loosely untied.

“Then one day. Father-in-law. So Saint Erman came to me and said, Do you have any plans to go to the sea?”

-ocean? Wasn’t Liream a country surrounded by mountains?

The Holy Sword speaks in a bewildered voice and moves the sword body back and forth as if tilting its head.

Julius, who stared at Nerondir for a while, opened his mouth again, crushing the claws of the mysterious statue hanging from the edge of the eaves with his own hands.

“Of course, I wasn’t talking about the real sea. Before I was a heretic inquisitor, I was a so-called one-man corps protecting a small kingdom called Liriam. You can’t leave Liream without care.”

-If only a few people control the luck of the country, when will the country of Liriam collapse?

“… … Whoops.”

At the grumbling of the holy sword, Julius let out a laugh and looked at the central church.

Come to think of it, it was really ridiculous.

There is only one heresy inquisitor, and the whole country’s security is faltering.

It was surprising to me that a country like this had not yet collapsed.

“Well, even without me, Erman-sama or Priest Brukin-sama. And since there is Cryle, there is really nothing to say about the country’s luck.”

-No, the name of the Royal Knights should appear rather than the name of a normal priest.

“Anyway, in order to solve the case Erman-sama asked for, I moved to the mansion located in the heart of Darkana.”

-If it’s the center, where are the nobles with bloated belly?

“… … Hmm.”

You seem to hate nobles strangely.

She has a beautiful and elegant voice like a woman from an aristocratic family, so I thought she would unintentionally like aristocratic things.

Surprisingly, Julius was a little surprised by the appearance of the holy sword that hated the upper class people, and he nodded at Nerondir’s words.

“Yes, the street where the nobles live. There was no specific name, though. Everyone in the church saw it and called it this way.”

– What did you call it?

“Broken Steak.”

-Isn’t that supposed to be a witty joke?

“… … .”

Thinking that he had become close with the Holy Sword, Julius, who had sneaked a joke into his mouth, lowered his head for a moment in response to the worse response than he had expected.

Even Julius, who seemed to be good at anything, seemed to be unable to do anything.

“It was none other than the Romanihof mansion where rumors of demon sightings spread.”

-Romanihof? I think I heard it somewhere.

“Of course you have heard. That’s right, it’s one of the three great swordsmanships in Liream.”

Romanihof, Maritecal, Jerini.

A prestigious family that anyone who says they use a lot of knives in Liriam will show their respect.

Julius looked at the holy sword while chewing on the three castles that were sticking like cheese in his mouth.

“I came to the Romanihof family, burning my hatred for the devil, at the command of Erman.”

– Somehow, they’re already pitying me.

“The first impression I had when I entered the Romanihof family was ‘unpleasant.’”

Recalling the memories of that time, Julius twisted the corner of his mouth, which was always stiff, in a strange way.

-Uncomfortable? Did they even despise you?

The holy sword that had escaped from Julius’ waist opened his mouth with a fuss.

It looks like a cursed weapon possessed by a demon.

Julius let out a laugh and shook his head.

“No, they were very hospitable to me. They served up all kinds of seafood and seafood to fill the entire banquet hall.”

– Do you like being despised by others?

“… … ?”

What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?

Julius was stunned at the sight of the holy sword that gently covered his body like a woman looking at a metamorphosis.

Obviously, I was relieved when I didn’t say anything. Speechless reasoning was annoying.

“Is that possible? I am a person too. I don’t hate being treated.”

– Then what didn’t you like? No, no need to say. It must have something to do with Cecil again.

“… … .”

I haven’t even opened my mouth yet, but it’s really disturbing to see the Holy Sword already guessing.

Julius grabbed the hilt of Nerondir floating in the air, then stirred it a little rough.

– What did I say wrong? Or tell me!

“… … Why did I feel displeased with the Romanihov’s hospitality?”

– Why?

“Because they offered to marry me.”

– Look! I was right!

“… … .”

When I opened my mouth, in the end, the reason was because of the washroom.

At Julius’s words, the holy sword, which was even stronger, escaped from his grasp and began to dance in a fair manner.

In the end, only after being defeated by Nerondir, he shrugged his shoulders once before continuing.

No matter how strong his desire to win, it was probably because he didn’t want to force himself into something related to Cecil.

“As you know, noble families have a lot of children.”

-Yeah, just like eating and having s*x all day.

“… … Yes, that’s right. There were so many children that I can’t really explain it other than that.”

-therefore? What was the content of the marriage talk by the Romanihofs?

If it had eyes, Nerondir pointed at my sword with a force that would give off a lantern for some reason.

Julius pushed the holy sword out with one hand and opened his mouth while stroking the nape of his neck.

“Well, it was simple. It was about marrying a woman with a Romanihof surname.”

– A little more boring than I thought… … .

“Let’s see. So I think there were about 14 people.”

-… … what?

At the absurd words that came out of Julius’s mouth, the holy sword floating in the air almost fell to the bottom.

14, 14, 14? Are you kidding me now?

The Holy Sword was thrown into chaos at the outrageous proposal of the Romanihof family.

Julius smiled as he touched the teeth marks of a woman carved on the back of his neck.

“At the time, really, I just wanted to burn it all down.”

-Liram is probably in a bad place. Why are there no normal people?

“I just came here to banish the devil. I did not hide my displeasure at the behavior of Gaju who was trying to make me play like a bitch.”

– You didn’t hide it?

“As an example, I slapped one of Romanihof’s girls in the banquet in the cheek.”

-… … to?

The Holy Sword was frozen for a moment by Julius’s harsher words than he had expected.

Seeing the appearance of Nerondir feeling a stronger chill than usual, Julius tilted his head and continued.

“What are you thinking?”

– No, no matter what. Beating an innocent woman!

“I was beaten because she was a woman with a devil. Is there something wrong?”

-…Then say yes from the beginning!

“… … Hmm.”

Aren’t these jokes so much fun?

I saw the form of Nerondir fluttering in the air, screaming.

It seems that I ate this joke too.

After a few moments of drowning due to his desperate joking skills, Julius coughed a few times, then got up again and started stroking the messy collar.

“The demon was, indeed, a crafty and cunning one.”

– For a clever thing, you caught it right away.

“It is unavoidable. Unless you step out in the sun, the average Inquisitor can’t tell the difference between a demon-infused human.”

– Then how did you find out right away?

Abruptly – The words that flowed out of the holy sword’s body as he pushed the hilt of the sword and tapped Julius’ shoulder.

Julius softly opened his mouth to Nerondir’s question.

“Yeah, because I’m Julius Tafnel.”

-…that’s the end?

“Do I need another word? Then let me say it again. Because I feel pretty good.”

– I’ve always wondered. what the hell are you What’s so strong

What was so unfair, the Holy Sword spoke as if crying.

Julius looked at the form of the pure white sword god, from which the voice of a pitiful woman came out.

He swung the nerondir away with his arm and started looking at the palace again.

“Do you know what the devil who took the skin of the woman he met at that time and the tentacle devil who occupied that palace have in common?”

– I’ve never seen that bitch, how do I know?

“It’s just that it has grown rapidly in a short period of time. There is a difference in the size of the body or the concentration of magic.”

Julius flashed his eyes and spoke softly.

He grabbed the holy sword that flew through the air. He aimed his white sword at the royal palace.

“The demon that took the form of an aristocratic girl had the power to say it was quite powerful even now.”

-If you said that, you must have been an incredibly strong demon.

“The power of the demons I encountered in the Romanihofs was ‘delusion’. It was like a siren from a legend.”

– It’s not a legend. In the days of Telmere, it was often seen in the sea.

A monster with a beautiful woman’s face, the Siren.

At the words of the Holy Sword that it once existed, Julius’s eyes widened, unusually wide.

“I wonder if the Siren really existed. What a surprise.”

– I don’t think I’m too surprised by that.

Of course, his voice was as calm as always.

“Anyway, I realized then. Why Erman said the mansion was the sea.”

-Siren is a monster that lives in the sea. That was a pretty funny analogy.

Nerondir exclaimed in admiration at Erman’s parable.

“… … Hmm.”

Julius felt a sense of defeat and took a step towards the direction of the palace.

“The demon with the power of delusion was working on a rather interesting scheme.”

-A fun ploy?

“No matter how much I am the strongest heretic inquisitor in Liream, Jung. It doesn’t make sense to say that a noble family wants all of my girls to marry.”

-No, Julius, it’s not impossible if it’s you.

The Holy Sword reflected Julius’s face on his own sword, and he spit out a word, convincing himself of something.

“Don’t be silly.”

– It’s not bullsh*t. If it’s really you, maybe…

“The devil had a really weird idea. If the current Cecil hears that sound, he will probably resurrect him and tear him to death once more.”

When only talking about women, Julius thought of a woman with brown hair running around and making a fuss, and Julius smiled softly.

Even though she’s in this building where she’s standing.

When I think of Cecil’s face, I suddenly feel longing.
