My Wife Is the Devil - My Wife Is the Devil chapter 129
129 – The Story of a Winter Day (6)
#The Story of a Winter Day (6)
Rustling─
A quiet mountain far away from the Spiral Palace where Cecil is located.
Spending fall and stepping on the fallen leaves that the forest has shaken off to welcome the coming winter.
Julius looked at the sky in silence.
“… ….”
Clearly, although it was now time for morning to come, the sky, which still had the colors of dawn, was in a state of incontinence here and there, like a cracked glass.
Has the sky broken down?
“… ….”
No, it wasn’t just the sky that was broken.
「Cracks」 Were not just found in the sky.
Just as a stream of water flows down the side of a mountain, the crack had also spread through the air and taken root on the ground.
“It’s not a very pleasant phenomenon.”
Julius took a look around while straightening his slightly disheveled sleeves from catching the demon dragon, Tanahil.
As an Inquisitor, I have seen such magical phenomena to the point of disgust, but the strange phenomena caused by demons are always unpleasant.
“…… Hmm.”
I’d like to take a closer look.
For some reason, Julius’s brows narrowed slightly as he felt a sense of duty worthy of being a Heretic Questioner.
Bloody enemy─
Maybe I should try jumping once. But can the ground hold up?
I was wondering if I should seriously run in place to check the identity of the crack.
At that moment, a small crack appeared in the air right next to the face of Julius, who was observing the crack.
“…… Hmm.”
The timing was good.
With this, you don’t have to blow up a mountain to check for cracks.
Julius, who was measuring whether this nameless mountain would collapse or not collapse if he seriously helped, turned his head to the side.
Wow.
“…… “You look alike.”
As soon as I turned my head to the side, a feeling of discomfort spread throughout my body.
“Cecil’s Magic Department.”
Julius swallowed a bitter smile as he looked at the crack that somehow resembled the movement magic often used by his beloved wife, Cecil.
This unpleasant phenomenon is similar to the magic used by my beloved wife.
It was because I didn’t really like the words I said out loud.
“It would be quite dangerous to damage an angel’s body, especially its wings.”
Well, it’s not that I don’t like his words.
What was important right now was the “Crack” Side.
A while ago, while fighting the evil dragon Tanahil, I clearly saw the angel Lionelta’s wings being shattered by something that flowed from a crack.
From Noble mtl dot com
An angel’s body with such strong durability that it is embarrassing to compare it to that of an ordinary person.
Among them, the part that was most difficult to damage was the ‘wings.’
Two out of three pairs of angel wings were destroyed.
What would happen if this phenomenon was left alone would have been self-evident without needing to be said.
“…… “You can break a finger in an instant.”
Julius put his finger into a small crack to directly understand the danger of the crack.
Julius narrowed his eyes as he looked at his right index finger, which turned into something like black powder as soon as it touched the crack, despite having a physical durability that was almost equal to that of an angel.
Systematic magic… Rather, it was literally a magical ‘phenomenon’.
It is probably a phenomenon related to the collapse of the world that Lionelta was so worried about.
“Just in case, I’ll put my hand in it.”
It wasn’t enough to blow off his right index finger and put his hand into the crack as well, and Julius gathered his thoughts.
Somehow, the large “Crack” And “Small crack” Engraved in the sky seemed to have slightly different properties.
Perhaps the magic “Crack” That Arnhill passed on to Tanahil accelerated the collapse of the world, which occurred naturally.
I guess a ‘small crack’ occurred in the aftermath.
Achieve enormous results with little effort.
Contrary to his superficial speaking style, Arnhill was truly extremely cunning and clever.
Ha.
“…… “What a troublesome devil.”
Or should I say it’s amazing.
Of course, that didn’t change my desire to kill him.
This is because she does not have and has no intention of paying homage to the enemy who drove her wife to death.
“Hey, Julius! Hand! Hand! “My hands are flying!”
I was impressed by Arnhill’s cunning work, which can be felt even in magical phenomena, and for a moment, my murderous intent was aroused.
“…… Hmm?”
Julius’ gaze lowered slightly as the sound of a woman’s scream pierced his ears.
Jeojeok.
A small crack had spread all the way to the elbow of Julius’s new right hand, where he was organizing his thoughts, and was engulfing Julius’ entire arm.
This level of destructive power in just seconds, not minutes.
I need to resolve this first before going to Cecil.
Even after seeing his arm reduced to crumbs in real time, Julius could only marvel at the destructive power of the crack, and slowly pulled up the “Gold” From his heart.
“Arms! Eight! “Now my whole arm is flying off!”
“…… Okay. It’s nothing.”
“If flying off your arm isn’t a big deal, what is?”
Even though she said it was no big deal, the woman’s voice did not stop.
“…… Hmm”
It’s annoying.
After confirming that the “Gold” That spread from the heart to the entire body was dispelling the cracks that had spread up to the elbows.
Julius turned his head in the direction where his voice was heard.
Who on earth wanted to leave their own minds in such a crisis of destruction?
─These two devils! Dare! Try to beat me! You insolent bastard!
Slap!
─Wow!
Let’s turn our heads.
A very rare sight unfolded before my eyes.
Perhaps there is a knight corps that uses this mountain as a training ground, and it is located in the middle of a fairly large open space on the side of the mountain.
A dragon tightly bound by golden chains and an angel riding on top of it and swinging a whip come into view.
“Hey, it shouldn’t be like this. Bandage! “At least put a bandage on!”
“…… Hmm.”
And even the female interrogator was hurriedly shouting for bandages that were not there.
After living for a long time, I see all these strange sights.
Julius let out a light sigh as he scratched his eyebrows with his left hand, which, unlike his right hand, was fine.
“Thank you for your concern. But you don’t need a bandage. “If you leave a wound like this alone, it will heal on its own.”
Has half white hair and half black hair.
Julius spoke while looking at the female interrogator with a strange expression, not sure what she was thinking when she dyed her hair.
Looking at it, it looks like a face I’ve never seen before.
It seemed like he was a rookie interrogator who had become a new heresy interrogator while he was back in his hometown.
Otherwise, there is no way he would be unaware of his regenerative power, nicknamed ‘Lizard’ among demons.
“Uh, huh?! Cow, hand!”
“So, didn’t you say it was okay?”
As we were having a short conversation, it seemed like my right arm had suddenly regenerated.
Julius spoke again after confirming that even the sleeves of his uniform, which had been blown off along with his hands, were completely restored.
“It looks like it hasn’t been long since you became a Heretic Questioner. Can you tell me your name and affiliation?”
“…… “What, what?”
When I asked the name and affiliation of the heresy interrogator, who was presumed to be a novice, the answer came back as if I was astounded.
‘I don’t know me? Do you really not know? He was pounding his chest while saying things like, ‘No, you’re kidding, right?’ It seemed quite unfair.
“…… Ah, if you are newly appointed this time, it is easy for you to not know me. The new appointment ceremony is definitely… Was it in September?”
In short, the female civil servant in front of her seems to be a new person who became a member of the Central Church after she left.
Then it’s only natural to have such a strange reaction. When she first became an Inquisitor, she was so excited that she had the illusion that everyone in the world knew her.
Julius smiled softly as he looked at Enin, who had suddenly become an overly self-conscious novice interrogator.
“Oh, no… “Do I really not know?”
“I don’t know.”
With her eyes wide open, Enine pointed at herself again and shouted something, but Julius just shook her head with an expression as if he was seeing something pitiful.
“Gee, really. Don’t be kidding. No matter what, it’s like that-“
“I am a member of Central Church…… No. His name is Julius Tapnel, a former special heresy inquisitor belonging to the Central Church. Since I am an official of the church, it is okay to tell me my name and affiliation.”
As if to prove that he was really Julius Tapnel, Julius made a spark by moving his shoe sole.
A golden flame symbolizing an angel, and the eldest of the angels, Tapnel, the Angel of Faith, burned splendidly between Julius and Enin.
‘No…’ I already saw the authority a while ago. Is there anyone who sees that and thinks it’s fake? ….’
A little while ago, Enin pictured in her mind the huge harpoon that had caught Tanahil, who was trying to get to the palace through the crack, like a fish.
This man standing in front of me.
Even after showing such incredible things, does he really think that he is being misunderstood as an impersonator?
No, more than that. You don’t know me? Even though the last time I saw it was 8 years ago… We were friends, right? Trainee motivation.
First place is Julius. Second place is Cryle. Third place is me.
But why don’t you recognize me?
No way……
…… Did you think I was your only friend until now?
“You don’t want to tell me? Then there’s nothing I can do. It would be best to get out of here as quickly as possible. As you saw earlier, this is a place where things come out that even angels can’t handle.”
“…… Uh?”
At the conclusion of the shocking accident, I stood there dazed for a moment and then came to my senses.
Do you really think that Enin is a newbie priest who just became an interrogator?
Julius, who was always cold to women other than Cecil, was talking to Henin in a very gentle manner that was not like him.
“If you’re scared to go around alone, why don’t you ask my Lionelta?”
“…… Uh.”
“I want you to be protected.”
“…… Ugh, uh.”
It was definitely a situation where one should be angry.
No matter what, you completely forgot the motivation behind your long training life together. It was normal to have a tantrum.
But why?
That voice.
If you listen to that soft and warm voice.
My heart is pounding…….
“Ah, it’s difficult to get any closer there. “I would be in trouble if your body odor got on me.”
“…… “Uh, huh?”
“My wife is a woman who is very good at smells. She doesn’t know what she’ll do if she smells another woman’s scent on my body. So, please ask for my understanding in advance. “This is for your benefit too.”
“… ….”
─Ennin. Really… ….
Do you want to die?
…… It wasn’t a noise, it was a thud.
The forbidden love that blossomed almost turned into a handful of ashes.
Looking at Julius, who calmly raised his hand as if he would not allow anyone to get closer to him.
Enin forced her bright smile.
The corners of her mouth trembled unnaturally as she barely held back the tears that were threatening to come out.
“Ha, hahahaha! It’s been a while, Julius. “Are you still the same now?”
Pretend to know as naturally as possible.
No matter what, if he hears the name ‘Enin Kaitel’, Julius will also remember him.
He raised his hand vigorously towards Julius, who was still looking at him like he was a lost child.
Enin proudly put her own name into her mouth.
“I am Enin. Enin Keitel. Why do you know, that guy who dumped me after confessing to you a long time ago? Her hair looks a little weird and is almost unrecognizable. Right?”
I made an ugly confession and even ended up taking out my repertoire.
I gave up everything, including pride. Still, at this rate, even Julius will remember……
“I don’t know.”
… ….
“…… That.”
“I don’t know. “In the first place, I don’t remember the names of any other women other than her family and her wife.”
…… Ugh.
I guess I really thought I was the only friend until now.
Enin’s face, which was trembling, finally broke down into tears at Julius’s very firm ‘I don’t know’.
“Why, why do you keep bothering me!”
I am a special Heresy Questioner! Even if you are demoted or not given any authority.
I worked hard!
Anyway, after meeting the devil Cecil, the miserable hardships never cease.
As expected, the memories were unreliable memories filled with glorification.
Wiping away a single tear that rolled down her cheek, Enine sniffed her stuffy nose.
Just stay strong, Enin.
Someday, a sunny day will come for her too.
…… Maybe.
