The Devil Who Grants Wishes

[Priest, follow me. You have work to do.]

Until recently, the future was just dark and cursed my fate. Isn’t it like a lamb being led to the slaughterhouse, being overpowered by the devil and following him?

What was more unbearable was that there was no resistance whatsoever.

Of course, not resisting doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Isn’t it the same as committing suicide to resist the Great Evil, who can’t give effective blows at all costs? To the devil who makes suicide even non-existent?

But… Still, there is a sense of humiliation and a sense of shame.

Seeing only the results, it is no different than a priest who serves the light bowing his head to evil and obeying him.

How can I raise my head to God?

“Sa, Priest… This is…”

“…her.”

And what does this mean?

I just thought that there was a slaughterhouse that had copied and moved the Demon Realm beyond that door.

It means that no matter what the scene unfolded, he was holding on to his mind so that he would not be shocked.

Quietly Quietly

“Follow me.”

“…”

But, let alone a slaughterhouse, there is a perfect natural landscape in front of us that has not been touched by any civilization, even elves.

Full of pure natural mana, the body is exclaiming with joy.

But… why the hell did the devil appear in a place like this?

For a demon whose root is darkness and evil, this kind of environment is literally full of poison everywhere—

‘…Child?’

Overwhelmed by the scenery, I was following the devil, and at the end of the devil’s walking direction, I saw a girl lying on a bed.

To have such a luxurious bed in a space that embodies the words of nature and wild, no matter how luxurious the appearance of the bed, it does not match the surrounding landscape so much that it feels incongruent rather than beautiful.

“See if there is any harm to life.”

Overwhelmed by the spirit of the moment, he almost spoke respectfully, but as a light-serving person, he can’t do that to the devil, so he barely endures it.

To say that the devil tells you to look at a child’s life… It’s obviously nonsense, but it’s just as dumb as you’ve seen with your eyes and heard with your ears.

I feel like all common sense I have experienced in my life is being denied.

“…I see.”

I can’t understand why a demon who uses such high-level magic, even holy-attribute magic, does it for me without seeing it in person.

Ummm… well, no matter how archmage can use all magic, the devil will be similar in that respect.

Since I told you to check if there is any damage to your life, this demon must not be able to use healing-type magic.

If something happened to this child, it would be better to solve it using the time regression I showed you earlier, but… Maybe it’s because it’s impossible due to some conditions or the time has passed, etc.

Let’s see… What the hell is this kid and what happened to the devil-

“…?!”

This is… what is it?

Was it really a person?

On the surface, she is just a cute little girl. However, unlike such a cute appearance, the aura felt is no different from that of the devil.

Tired

“Ugh…!”

In embarrassment, I put my hand on the child’s body in an instant, and at the same time, the body was startled as if it had touched hot water, and at the same time, it hurts as if it had been broken in the head. It feels like being stabbed in the scalp with a needle.

“Heh heh heh…!”

When I looked at the finger that had touched the child’s skin, it was black as if it had been charred.

It’s not just about being blacked out. The senses have disappeared somewhat, and the mana cannot be condensed properly.

Rather than agglomerate the mana that had moved to the area where the problem occurred, it was fragmented and scattered into the air. If all ten fingers had become like this, I would not have been able to use magic in the future.

“Who is it.”

“…”

At that moment when he was holding hands in pain, the child who had just been sleeping wakes up. With a terrifyingly cold tone.

There is so much emotion in it that it is impossible to imagine that it was uttered by a child of that age.

‘Demon…’

When either parent is a demon or a demon, the child born to that parent becomes a demon.

As demons are close to phenomenal life and demons are materially living creatures, they are not exactly the same, but apart from that, demons and demons are similar in many ways.

For example, they have a wicked personality, have similar magical powers, or look alike.

However, this demon child is very different from the general demon child.

Although his appearance is undisputed, he is a perfect human, but the magical energy that comes out is the same as that of a demon, although slightly different.

Above all, the soul.

I know that I have held various funerals and exorcisms during that time.

This child has only demonic magical powers, but has a human appearance and soul.

It’s obviously a demon, but… can this be called a demon in the literal sense of the dictionary…?

“You, who-“

“Lucia.”

“-?!”

The child, who had been showing hostility to me until recently, realized that there was a devil, and soon returned as an innocent child suitable for her age as if it had ever been.

…her.

“Oh, Dad… hehe…”

“…”

Did I say Lucia?

It seems it’s already too late to act… Well, there’s no reason to point it out.

I am very thoughtful for my age.

Is it because he’s also a demon?

“I brought this priest for Lucia’s check-up. I’m sorry to disturb your sleep.”

“Oh, no… it’s okay… yo.”

But… it seems that following that demon isn’t acting, it’s sincerity.

After all, if demons don’t follow the devil, who will they follow?

Although their appearance is very different from that of a normal demon, they can be regarded as demons because they have demonic magic.

**********

According to the priest, Lucia’s condition goes beyond life-threatening and is surprisingly healthy.

It’s hard to understand why I was brought here for Lucia’s treatment.

But… apart from not having a life-threatening problem, another problem arose.

[Certainly, I can feel the devil’s magic in my eyes. It’s clearly an unusual situation. But wouldn’t this be life-threatening?]

[Is there no problem with the eyes of a human, a child who is only a little girl?]

[Although… Miss Lucia is no ordinary human. It’s close to demons.]

Lucia is more like a demon than an ordinary human.

I looked closely to see if the priest was lying, but he was only telling the truth. He was completely convinced that beings with demonic magic were not human.

Of course, the mana coming out of Lucia’s body was originally mine, so I could point it out enough to point it out… For some reason, I agreed with the priest’s opinion.

Because Lucia’s energy has changed significantly from before.

“Are you okay now?”

“Yeah… it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Lucia, who was spewing out the mana stones condensed with the devil’s mana in pain, became calm as if she had always been, but the atmosphere did not return to its original state.

If Lucia in the past was just following me as a father, should I say that now, after that, she has an additional desire for monopoly on me? Anyway, that’s how it feels.

Above all else, unlike before, I was able to immediately know where Lucia was without even looking at it with my own eyes.

Just like breathing naturally, you can always know where Lucia is.

…I’ll turn.

‘And that flower… well…’

What adds more credibility to the priest’s words is the change of flowers.

It was just a large, fragrant flower, but after absorbing my mana, it turned into a human-eating monster.

Assuming something similar to that happened to Lucia… it would have been a real disaster.

You said that Lucia could have turned into a monster like that flower.

“sorry.”

It seems that he continues to do bad things to Lucia.

At first, I was just raising Lucia out of pity.

“I’ll make sure that nothing like this happens next time.”

“yes…?”

First of all, it looks like we’ll have to drain all of the demon’s mana from Lucia’s body to prevent any unexpected events… Well, there’s a problem.

Mana Drain puts a lot of pressure on the body and soul, but to teach you magic so that you can consume mana, Lucia is only 3 years old, so she’s too young.

For now, let’s stay here and let the mana drain naturally.

The surrounding scenery is also good, so it will be good emotionally.

As for the house… I can’t let it be affected by the devil’s magic, so it’d be better to buy the materials instead of magic and build it one by one.

“Priest, aren’t you a demon?”

“Yeah, the devil.”

“But why did you just come back?”

At best, he was able to escape safely due to the mercy of the devil, but this servant babbles nonsense as if he doesn’t even remember his death.

Why are you back? Then you had to fight?

“So you mean we should have fought that demon? Just the two of us? Were you so talented?”

“It’s not that… Oh, did you ever leave your seat to join the church’s reinforcements?”

“…platform?”

…I forgot because I was so distracted.

If this is reported to the denomination, the denomination will organize a large-scale subjugation on that day. As soon as the servants returned to the temple, everyone was talking about it, so it’s impossible to hide it now.

No matter how hard you try to persuade that the demon is a great demon that should not be touched, as one of the significance of the church’s existence is in the exorcism, there is a high probability that it will just make the size of the subjugation squad bigger and stronger.

In the first place, the high priests of the denomination cannot believe in such a nonsensical sound that the devil uses holy attribute magic and even manipulates time. I’m afraid I’m going to think I’ve misunderstood or I’ve had an illusion.

Many lives will die meaninglessly.

How… what should I do?

“After all, I doubted for nothing. The priest is truly a servant of the godly light!”

The priest is in a dilemma of how to save innocent lives in the future, but the servant is just making naive speculations and looking up to the priest.
