The Devil Who Grants Wishes

67 – Infestation (6)

Since all the demons that had been chasing Aren had been slain, he hurried to a nearby city to save people in order to turn the demons into experience points.

But before I could give the next order, the party of warriors set off for the city on their own accord.

Of course, that’s a nice enough attitude, but… Bitter, that’s the intention.

[I have to kill and kill more demons to become as strong as my father.]

[I have to dismantle more demons and offer them to Faust.]

[I have to burn more demons and make an offering to Serapia.]

Of the four hits, there was only one, Rena, moving while thinking of people suffering from demons.

The other three were focused on the act of killing the demon itself.

Aigo and Flora, who were watching it from the side, did not feel any problems and were rather delighted to say that it was a heroic award, but honestly, that’s a bit…

‘Shouldn’t I have given Lucia a lot of moral education…?’

I haven’t felt the need to do that because I’ve always been nice to me, but looking at the situation that’s happening now, it seems I’ve made a big mistake.

I should have told Aigo to do moral education—- But, can the devil teach morality?

[Faust-sama, I’ll leave the sack here, so take it!]

‘eww…’

Feeling confused, I arrived at the place where the devil was slaughtered, and there was a sack written like that in a cute handwriting.

The sack is, of course, full of the by-products of the devil that Iris has been digging hard for.

Even without looking at it with your own eyes, you can tell because of the tremendous amount of demonic energy coming out of the sack.

“Hee, hee… hee hee…”

That seems to be the same for Arn next to me.

As soon as Arn, who is forcibly following me, sees the sack, his face turns pale and he trembles and sits down.

‘…I collected them in various ways.’

When I opened the sack and checked the contents, the scene Iris saw unfolded as it was.

The bodies of the demons have long since been crumbled into magic and mana, but the by-products previously extracted from the bodies remain intact, maintaining their original form.

The scene inside the sack is so horrific that even [Faust] is momentarily startled.

[Please enjoy your meal.]

‘…’

Then suddenly Iris’s words are heard.

It is the tone of a new wife, as if waking up early in the morning and handing boiled miso soup to her husband. It would have been nice if what they were handing over was really soybean paste soup.

…How else did you know I was looking at the sack?

And how do you eat this? What are you going to shove into your mouth?

Keying

Whew

It’s dangerous just with the thick demonic energy that just spews out, but with all sorts of demonic fragments gathered there, you can’t just leave things like this.

If left alone, the centipede-headed monster I saw in the Great Forest would surely come out, so I opened the subspace warehouse and roughly threw the sack into it.

I’m not intervening in the party on purpose to give you experience value… Is it really okay not to intervene?

I guess I should tell you not to do something in between… well…

[Faust’s insight is clearly effective. Lucia-sama is too strong, so we can’t properly confirm the effect, but the other three are different.]

…For now, let’s just keep an eye on it.

I have a strong feeling that there is something out of place, but it is true that the kids are getting stronger as expected.

According to Aigo’s report a few minutes ago, Iris, Celestine, and Lena are showing a level increase of 10% to 90%, so you can’t just miss this opportunity.

Isn’t that the level of skipping an entire story event?

[Thank you thank you…]

[Come on, go away. It interferes with using demons.]

Above all, whatever the reason, the warrior party is saving people as a result.

What is that… If you save people even if it’s hypocrisy, there’s a saying that it’s good, right? That’s really right.

Citizens of the city are saved and greatly thanked by the actions of the warrior party, which is an obvious good for anyone to see.

Of course, no one except Lena doesn’t care about the citizens at all.

Then all I have to do is watch the party and intervene when something dangerous is about to happen.

“Th-those demons… hee…”

At that moment, the trembling elf girl, Aren’s voice penetrated my ears.

…Ah, I forgot.

what does he do now?

To find out what the hell happened in the Great Forest, I reluctantly grabbed hold of it and asked, but it’s clearly not a playable character, and it’s too weak for the warrior party to carry around… Hmm…

“Follow me.”

“Ah, uh…”

I’ll have to keep him until the situation is over.

Should I leave it to Irene after the situation is over?

He said he was crying because he didn’t want to meet the same elf, but he was just saying it when he saw that he took care of Lena who had been beaten by Flora wholeheartedly.

“Kyaahhhhh!”

“Save me, save me!!”

Demon attacks are not happening in one place. It is being done simultaneously in places where people flocked all over the world.

Due to the sudden large-scale attack of demons, each country and castle has focused only on expelling demons from their territory, and because of that, countries or castles that are weak enough to overcome the attack of demons do not receive support and continue to fight demons. is passing to

Even in the last 16 years, since there has been no large-scale demonic attack for a generation, even the countermeasures against demonic attacks have deteriorated, and they have no choice but to be helpless.

“aaa!!”

“Oops, that one has already started.”

“Let’s start slowly.”

Demons party in a city where only civilians remain.

From low-level imps who are too weak to sign a contract for the rest of their lives, to ordinary demons who are trying to compensate for having been stuck in the demon realm for a long time of 16 years, literally all demons.

“Sal, please save me… save me…”

“Isn’t it obvious? Why am I killing you?”

With all those who can fight the demons dead, the demons try to capture as many civilians as possible.

Because demons are not undead who hate living things and want to kill them.

Demons, who can only grow strong by gathering souls and negative emotions, generally do not prefer to kill their prey pointlessly.

Of course, since there are individual differences, there may be demons who just kill, but even those demons kill as painfully as possible to get as many negative emotions as possible.

“Please, please… please…”

“For now, it’s okay to apply too much force from the start, so start moderately—”

Kwaaa!!

At that moment, the head of the demon that was trying to torture the girl is blown away.

The devil, who was trying to exploit the emotions of the shivering girl, was hit in the head by a magic bullet that flew out of nowhere, and received damage far beyond the limit of regeneration, so he could not recover and returned to powder and disappeared.

The other demons who saw it panicked and turned their heads to the place where the manatan flew, but that demon also met the same fate.

“what!?”

“It was still there—- kahaaa!!”

It’s not just those two demons.

The demons nearby who panicked and tried to find out what happened were also attacked by magic bullets.

Whether it’s the head, chest, stomach, or even insignificant limbs, demons that have been hit even once by mana bullets will disintegrate even though their core magic stones have not been attacked, and they will no longer be able to regenerate and perish as they are.

“Oh, uh…?”

“Whoa…”

The girl, who was in danger of being tortured by the devil, found an elf with her face covered in tears, looking around her head for no reason, and letting out a deep sigh.

Despite being an elf that boasts long ears, the left ear is cut off, the dark circles around the eyes are deep, and the expression is tired.

His blue-green hair, which barely reached his shoulders, was matted and tousled. The white dress she was wearing was so loose that her collarbones were barely visible.

The arm that swayed in the air had long since lost its strength, the magic herb that had been burnt almost to the end was bitten in her mouth, and her posture was also flamboyant.

But the girl doesn’t.

“Get up and get to safety quickly… No, I just need to make the whole city safe.”

Even a girl who knew nothing about magic had no choice but to react to the mana that wrapped around that elf’s body.

It was because her eyes, which were the same color as the clear autumn sky, radiated a stronger will than anyone else.

Irene, the owner of the pawnshop, who has killed all the demons and monsters she sees, first wants to purify all the demons that have invaded this city before moving on to the next city.
