A flurry of curiosity.
A flurry of curiosity.
Dakia looked around the entire time she was walking through the underground passage and exclaimed exclamations.
“I never knew there was a place like this in the capital.”
“I’m new to the capital itself.”
“He’s a complete countryman. But people from the countryside are usually surprised when they see a building like this, but doesn’t Priest Marnak seem okay?”
Because there are things I saw before falling into this world.
Just as I was about to answer, a person covered in black cloth appeared from the other side of the aisle.
“Someone is coming.”
Dacia asked me with a serious expression.
“Shall we shoot? Magic?”
“I don’t want to die from being crushed by a collapsing passage in a place like this…”
“Why are you doing this! My skills have improved a lot these days! Priest Marnak knows that well.”
“I remember that it’s not good enough to use in a collapsing basement.”
“I can do it! Trust me!”
“I’ll believe you next time.”
While we were bickering, a man wrapped entirely in black cloth arrived in front of us before we knew it. I asked a question after finishing preparations to pick up a butcher if the need arises.
“Are you the guide?”
There was no answer. An unidentified person who just nodded quietly took the lead and began to retrace the way he had come.
Dacia took a step closer to me and whispered.
“It’s a little spooky because he doesn’t talk.”
“You don’t seem to be very interested in us, so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.”
“By the way, it’s very strange that demons have friends. I heard that demons are evil and can’t make friends.”
“There are many people who cannot make friends even if they are not demons.”
“I guess so.”
When we reached the end of the complex hallway, a black door greeted us. The person who guided us stood still by the door and was silent.
“You mean to go in?”
“It seems so.”
When I pushed the door lightly, the door opened smoothly as if it had been oiled.
We were greeted by an all-black bedroom. On a gorgeous bed decorated with black lace, a woman reclining with a cigarette pipe in her mouth was a woman dressed to the extent that she was almost naked.
Jet-black hair, black eyes, and piercing eyes. The decadent beauty with the impression that anyone can see that she looks like a crippled person said while puffing the pipe in her mouth. A cloud of gray smoke escaped her mouth.
“Why did you come?”
I held out the butterfly-shaped badge the demon lord gave me. A thick wrinkle appeared on the forehead of the woman who checked the badge.
“That’s not what I asked. I asked you why you came looking for me.”
‘killing!!!’
Mother’s cry that that woman is also a devil. the devil I chose my words carefully.
“I’m here to see if I can get some help.”
“help?”
The woman slowly got up from the bed. The woman, roughly pulling up the shoulder strap that slipped down, sat comfortably on the bed. His shoulders were still leaning against the head of the bed. Her gaze scrutinized my body.
“name.”
“I am Marnak, and this is Dacia Irmel.”
“Marnac? Are you the Marnac that’s quite famous these days?”
“Probably right.”
“Hmm.”
The woman tapped the pipe and continued her conversation.
“My name is ‘Fluttering Curiosity’. I’m what you guys call a devil. If I get that badge, I’m not going to pull out my sword right away, right?”
“I don’t intend to.”
“Then come sit down. It’s hard to look up.”
We sat on the chairs prepared in advance. The struggling curiosity stared at my face and smiled.
“Seeing that you know I’m a demon and don’t run amok, aren’t you the priest of Yuji?”
“yes.”
He had come to seek help in finding his mother’s relic from the beginning, so he had no intention of hiding it.
“I serve the Mother of Corruption.”
My struggling curiosity widened my eyes.
“Son of corruption? Are you really the son of corruption?”
“Why is that?”
“Why?”
She raised her pipe and pointed it in my face.
“It’s the son of corruption, but it’s because it doesn’t go very well. Come here for a second. Let’s read a little.”
read me?
“Are you sure you need it?”
“No? Not really? It’s just because I’m curious. What’s my name? It’s called ‘Fattling Curiosity.’ I’ll just find out why you’re so fine. You’re so different from the kids I’ve met before.”
for a good reason while I was thinking Struggling curiosity got up from the bed and reached for my face.
slap!
‘killing!!!’
With a soft light in her arms, her mother jumped out in the form of a girl, asking where she dared to touch.
The two eyes of curiosity that were filled with drowsiness widened. She looked at my mother and at me, then asked me.
“… what the hell are you?”
“It’s as I said so far…”
She lay back on the bed and pressed her temples hard.
“There’s going to be a really big fuss soon, this.”
“What are you talking about?”
“What are you talking about?”
Struggling curiosity stretched out the pipe and pointed at my mother in my arms.
“You’re having a really big accident. You’re collecting the Holy Relics sealed by the Mother of Corruption right now. How many have you collected so far? Looking at it, I’m guessing I’ve collected about four or five.”
How the hell did you know you got all four of them?
I straightened up and sat down.
“Could you elaborate a bit more?”
“No. I can’t. I can’t. Ask yourself about it.”
‘killing…?’
When I looked at my mother’s face, she tilted her head as if she didn’t understand anything.
“You have no idea.”
The face of the struggling curiosity made a strange expression.
“Did you just ‘talk’ to God? Directly? And without any ‘price’?”
“I often talk to my mother on a regular basis. Conversation is very important to maintain a good relationship.”
She put the pipe in her mouth and started to smoke again.
“Is the son of corruption that is not insane talking to his god casually?
As the acrid smoke filled the room, the devil came out and looked at my mother and opened his mouth.
“Since when?”
“What do you mean?”
A flurry of curiosity tapped his head.
“Since when have you been able to have normal conversations with other people? Ever since your body was so ‘improved’.”
“It has been like this since the beginning.”
She smiled and stared at her mother. Mother glared at the devil with wary eyes. The devil shook his head and said.
“Hanging everything in one place isn’t a very good way. Well, you had no choice but to do that. You.”
“yes.”
Struggling curiosity stretched out the pipe and pointed it at me.
“You really have to work very hard to pay back what you have received. And that is very, very hard.”
“Could you please elaborate a bit more?”
“If I tell you more, the kids over there will notice?
Her finger pointed to the sky.
Does it mean that the sky, that is, the gods of the heavens, notice? Then there is nothing you can do
“Then I won’t ask any more.”
“That’s a good idea. It’s a problem if you come to ask for a favor and incur my hatred for another matter, right?”
I nodded. The devil was right. What I had to ask now was the whereabouts of the holy relic that was supposed to be in the capital city.
The struggling curiosity looked at me with mischievous eyes. thick dark circles. Both of her eyes had a strange lust.
“But you know that if you ask the devil for something, you have to pay for it, right?”
“Yes, what do you want?”
She licked her lips with her tongue and peeked down at the shoulder straps.
“Sleep with me for the night. I’ve never slept with the son of corruption. All of them are jerks.”
“No!”
The answer came not from me, but from Dakia, who had been quietly listening. There, as soon as the devil’s words were finished, the mother jumped up like a hawk and attacked her.
‘Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!!!’
The unstoppable blows of the cotton fist exploded on the devil’s face. With a smile on his face, the demon defenselessly allowed his mother’s violent attack.
“It’s too cottony.”
At that short word, the mother looked at her clenched fists with a shocked face.
‘killing…?’
Mother muttered, ‘Am I a cotton ball…?’ and looked at me with trembling eyes. There was intense emotion of denial in those eyes.
Negation in the sense of ‘I’m not a cotton ball…?’
I slowly turned my head away from my mother’s gaze. Because the cotton fist was right.
‘killing?!’
The demon lifted the bewildered mother and seated her on his lap, then placed his chin on top of her head. The mother whimpered and tried to remove the devil’s jaw, but again it was not enough.
The struggling curiosity laughed mischievously.
“It’s a joke. Don’t take it too seriously. Well, you can roll around with it as much as you want. I’ve never really played with the son of corruption.”
After she finished speaking, she pulled her shoulder straps down even further.
‘killing!!!’
The mother quickly grabbed the strap and put it back on the devil’s shoulder.
“I will only be grateful.”
“I can’t get paid, though. I don’t work with my bare mouth. Come on, pay me.”
She held out a white palm.
“What are you talking about?”
“The badge in your hand. That’s all you need. Didn’t I hear you give me that when you asked me in the first place?”
“I didn’t hear it at all.”
The struggling curiosity giggled and took a black butterfly-shaped badge from me.
“It could be. Little pranks add to the joy of life. You should always have fun, don’t you?”
The demon lord’s words to always live happily and her words overlapped. I laughed quietly.
“I think so too.”
Struggling curiosity nodded contentedly, hugging her mother tightly.
“Since you’re the son of corruption, it’s obvious what you want. You came looking for the holy relic that sealed your mother’s divinity, right? Asking me to help you find where it is.”
“Yes. That’s correct.”
“That’s great. Relic, I just have it.”
I was lucky. Just like this, take the holy relic and break Mother’s seal again.
The devil said with a mischievous smile. Like it’s really sad.
“But what about this? I bet your mother’s relic as a prize.”
walk as a commodity? that?
‘killing?!’
I asked the devil on behalf of my perplexed mother.
“Where on earth did you place your winning prize?”
The demon tapped the mother’s head with his chin and said,
“Anyway, I bet with the winning prize of the ‘Underground Arena’ I run. I got paid and told you where you wanted, so from now on, it’s up to you to decide. If you want a holy relic, participate there and win.”
Out of curiosity, she stretched out her thin fingers and touched her mother’s chin, but soon after she was slapped on the back of her hand, she giggled. The lonely teardrop under her black left eye swayed along with her smile.
“Ah, in case you want to receive the holy relic from me right away. Come to my bed without your mother’s knowledge. If you roll over with me once, I’ll just give it to you.”
