＜My wife is the devil (8)＞
A corner of the spiral palace that was thickly covered with dreary darkness.
The clerics of the Telmere Church, led by Special Inquisitor Enin Kaitel, gathered around the campfire and sat down.
Winter is fast approaching, and I haven’t had a proper meal for a long time, so I don’t mean to sit around and roast potatoes…
It was for a full-fledged operational meeting because Enin Kaitel, the only special inquisitor in the current royal palace, came to his senses.
“… … Hmmm. I think I passed out for a little while. First of all, I want to apologize for causing trouble during the meeting.”
When all the dozen or so Inquisitors sat down, Enin coughed several times and got up from his seat. Then, he looked at the faces of his comrades whom he had not seen in a long time and put his words of apology in his mouth.
Even so, he was an elite heretic inquisitor who had the same name as that Julius Tafnel, but it was embarrassing that he was attacked by the devil without even trying to use it.
“It’s okay, Enin. ‘Cause you’ve been stupid ever since No one expected it.”
“Yes? No, that’s too harsh-“
“It puts my heart at ease to see you, who is still incompetent even after 8 years have passed.”
“disability? I and I, I’m still a special inquisitor…”
“No one expects you to be as high as Julius or Cryl. Don’t worry. Enin.”
“Hey, you motherf*ckers! As soon as I see you after a long time, do you double bathe in front of your face!”
Wahahaha—
“Do not laugh! It’s a superior order!”
He was horribly sunk before he even made an extremely high-level, elegant apology.
Enin groaned at the mischievous Inquisitors who giggled as their faces grew hot. Even though I knew he was doing this on purpose to relieve tension, it was disgusting to be mean.
“after. after. great. they are so quiet From now on, only answer what I ask. Do you understand these things!”
“no.”
“Nope.”
“why me?”
“I get it. did you know what to say?”
“… … Are you guys doing this on purpose? You’re just trying to relax me, aren’t you?”
… … No, I think it’s just because of his dirty personality.
At the behavior of the heretic inquisitors who took the pod seriously with every word, Enin wept.
“… … There are people who wouldn’t even be able to make noises without Yul.”
In the past, whenever I was bullied like this, Julius helped me…
Recalling her first love (?) lost to her childhood friend, which she couldn’t forget even after 8 years passed, Enin let out a self-helpful self-talk. The reason he couldn’t say that he didn’t want to see him was because of Cecil, Julius’s wife and his childhood friend, who died early.
pair- pair-
“now. Let’s all joke around like this. The time has already been seriously delayed because of ‘Enin’. There is no more time to delay here.”
“… … Edward. Something seems to have bones in it? I’m back after 8 years. Special Heretic Inquisitor-”
“So, Enin. What do you want to ask us?”
Inquisitor Edward said, cutting Enin’s horse with a single knife. As soon as he spoke his words, there was silence in the left.
“This, for once. Make sure to report the current situation from now on.”
He was startled by the sight of the inquisitors, who had no intention of keeping quiet while he was speaking, to be quieted by Edward’s words, but Enin desperately regained his composure.
And he calmly asked a question to Edward, the man with a fat expression sitting in front of him.
I was so nervous that I stuttered.
“The current situation is… in a word, an unprecedented and dangerous emergency.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Many people were imprisoned in the royal palace by a demon with tremendous power close to the god level.”
“How big is-”
“Perhaps, presumably, all over Darkana.”
“What, what? How can only one demon perform such a great magic!”
Enin’s mouth widened at the absurd information coming out of Edward’s mouth.
“Because I’m not usually a demon.”
“If it’s a devil, it’s only evil. Are there any demons that are not normal?”
“High Demon.”
“What?”
“The culprits of this situation are the ancient monsters named 24 High Demons.”
“Oh, high-ranking demons? what are they First time hearing this?”
Despite trying to pay attention, he stuttered again.
Originally, he should have slapped him once in the mouth as punishment for a mistake, but Enin decided to let it go.
Rather than correcting the stuttering habit, it’s better to focus on the ‘high-level demon’ you’ve never heard of before.
“It’s only natural to hear it for the first time. The existence of high-ranking demons is a secret known only to the saints of the time and the librarians of the forbidden vault.”
“That’s right… huh? So how do you know?”
Enin tilted his head and asked Edward, who casually talked about secrets that only the saint and the custodian of the vault should know.
“… … before telling the story. First of all, it would be right to tell you how powerful a high-ranking demon is.”
“Well, they must be strong enough to do such a terrific thing. But in the end, the devil-”
“They don’t burn in sunlight.”
“… … uh?”
“And each individual has the power to destroy a small kingdom in one day.”
“… … Nonsense.”
“Finally, they twist the providence of death. A complete revival of the dead, whom I never doubted would ever be impossible. To be precise, it’s a mimic that is infinitely close to resuscitation.”
“Uh, uh.”
“You have a quick understanding of stupid topics from a long time ago, so you should have a good idea how I got this information.”
“… … .”
“We were investigating the theft of the body until just before being detained in the royal palace by the magic of a high-ranking demon. The body of Cecil Lionelta.”
And in the course of the investigation, I accidentally learned about a high-ranking demon. Through the forbidden book hidden in Cryle Raynell’s mansion.
After saying those words, Edward kept his mouth shut. The ten inquisitors who had been playing pranks on Enin until a while ago also gave up their playful attitudes and showed serious expressions on their faces.
… … .
On their chests, all of them had feather-shaped badges imbued with brilliant gold. It was a sign that he was a direct subordinate of Special Inquisitor Julius Tafnel.
And that also meant that, at one time or another, everyone owed their life to a man named Julius. It doesn’t happen unless an Inquisitor becomes someone’s direct subordinate.
“So… you mean Kryle made a contract with the devil? Nonsense.”
A cynical man who always went with Julius. Thinking of Special Inquisitor Cryle Raynell, Enin shook his head.
In this situation where it is presumed that the people of the entire capital were held hostage by an unidentified being with the name of a high-ranking demon, the news that a special inquisitor, who can be called the strongest except Julius, has turned away is beyond regrettable and desperate. it was
Out of the only three special Inquisitors in the entire Kolang Church, two of them are in a state of incapacity. Enin felt like she wanted to kill herself right now by sticking her nose in the plate.
“Then you mean I’m the only Special Inquisitor who can move right now? i can’t This is the original Julius specialty. The day I went out would be the last day of the Telmere Church.”
She tended to take her fractions very objectively.
He didn’t even think that he could solve this situation on his own without Julius or Cryl.
No, I didn’t.
“… … ? Wait, there’s still one, no, one more.”
And at that very moment, Enin remembered someone he had forgotten. Another great power of the Telmere Church that I couldn’t think of because I was thinking too much about the Inquisitor.
That’s right-
“If both Julius and Kryle are gone, Erman-sama must lead us-”
“By the way, the most likely suspect who unlocked the seals of the high-ranking demons is Saint Erman Lionelta.”
“… … flaw.”
Apparently, today was the day the Telmere Church, with its 500-year-long history and tradition, was destroyed.
As if there was no hope, Enin burst out laughing at the overly capable motives who cut the last rope with a single knife.
A high-ranking demon has taken over the capital, and the culprit who freed the demon is the saint. In the meantime, the agent of punishment steals the body and runs away, hoping to save his friend’s wife.
Even the scoundrels in the back alleys wouldn’t be as rude as this.
“we. f*cked. as of today. The Telmere Church. it’s dissolution Wow.”
The terrible fact that his hometown after eight years had turned to soy flour broke Enin’s head.
There are also facts in the world that you should not know.
“Well, it’s still too early to be disappointed. I honestly don’t know why the current situation happened. But the solution is simple.”
“Hey, do you have a solution? What the hell is that? If there was such a way, I should have tried it right away!”
But Saint Telmere said,
As there is a saying that there is a hole in the sky through which both sides of the sky can spring out, a merciful Father of all. It seems that the given Rom had prepared a solution for Enin.
Enin’s eyes, which had been struggling like a broken clockwork doll before, began to twinkle. Humans do not give up on life even with the slightest hope.
“Because the solution is a little difficult.”
“How difficult it must be! It would be easier than running into a high-ranking villain between us and charging.”
“Certainly easier than that.”
“right? After all, the Lord did not abandon us. thank you Rom, given.”
“All you have to do is call back Julius, who returned to his hometown of Kente. If you take a wagon from here to Kente village, it will take about 1 to 2 months, so the situation can be resolved in 4 months round trip-”
“God is dead.”
Of course, on the contrary, if there is not even the slightest hope, people give up on life.
At this very moment, Special Inquisitor Enin Kaitel has decided to give up his 26 years of life.
“How to commit suicide without pain. Are you sure you were doing this?”
… … To lead a battle for the fate of the world, she was too small a human being.
regardless of personality or ability.

Meanwhile, at the same time.
By the time Enin developed acute stomach cramps, Julius and Cecil had completed a successful invasion into the Spiral Palace.
‘Julius! Here, here, you can see the traces of Arnhill’s old years in the window! Apparently this large window served as a passageway!’
‘Obviously, I didn’t notice anything strange looking at this window last time.’
‘That’s because at that time, because of Julius, my body was hot and I couldn’t concentrate.’
‘… … What?’
‘anyway! Traces still remain here, so if you analyze the magic that resides in this window, you will be able to move into the palace!’
‘The washroom. Didn’t my sister tell me to use such vulgar words only in bed-‘
‘ah! I can’t hear, I can’t hear! Ebebe.’
‘… … .’
About an hour ago from now. In the process of re-examining the office, Julius and Cecil found traces of the magic that connected the spiral palace and the central church.
And through Cecil’s dazzling restoration magic that lasted for an hour, he restored the passageway between the palace and the church, and succeeded in sneaking into the palace like this.
“👌👌👌 Be careful, Julius. It’s really dangerous from here. When and where-”
“You think there might be enemies?”
“I don’t know if a woman will come out. Smells of young bitches nearby.”
Cecil sniffing his nose and sneaking around like an assassin.
“… … .”
With his hands trembling and looking at Cecil, who was desperately wary of ‘women’, Julius was at a loss for words.
She was truly an extraordinary woman in many ways.
Whether it’s magic or love.
