47. A warrior faces death (3)
“I wondered where Suzaku and Blue Dragon had gone, and they came after your soul.”
Zeke turned his head in response to the voice.
“Deus-sama’?”
“okay.”
“Why… No way, SIGNI!”
“No way.”
“Why did you grant that child’s wish!”
“Your Excellency is a stupid question.”
“but!”
“But you know where this is, right?”
“It must be the underworld.”
” that’s right.”
“I can’t see anything. Even the sound is faint…
“Humans cannot see beings from the underworld. “Because it is an ability that only the Demon King has.”
“So I guess Mr. Scatul said that before. “The only one who can save SIGNI is Deus.”
“Well, that’s right. But even if I wasn’t there, you wouldn’t have died.”
” yes?”
“I wouldn’t have been able to come back alive, but dying wouldn’t have been easy.”
Zeke tilted his head. It seems like the story of Deus is difficult to understand.
“You may not be able to see it, but there are a huge number of reapers around right now. “To take your soul and take it to the sea of nothingness.”
“ah!”
“Look, he’s pulling your arm again.”
“I can’t feel anything?”
“Oh, right. “An ant is pulling an elephant, but the elephant can’t feel it.”
“I’m an elephant?”
“Your soul and the two Death Beasts that guard it. “There’s no way you, who has power approaching that of the Demon Lord, would be taken away by a mere mortal.”
Zeke scratched his cheek.
“Then what happens?”
“I don’t know either. No one will know. Who would have thought a mortal could possess such great power?”
“Hahaha, God must be in quite a bit of trouble
.”
“I’m in trouble too. “I have to go back the way I brought you… but you can’t see anything.”
“How did you bring Signi?”
“Hold hands.”
“Then me too… Ah!”
Zeke realized one thing and stopped talking.
“No way, if I go around holding hands with Deus-sama… men too…
“Stop. Don’t say any more. “Just thinking about it makes me feel sick.”
“I have no intention of having Deus-sama’s child.”
“That’s why it’s a pain in the ass. I am the only one who can guide you, but since you are human and cannot see the scenery of the underworld…
“Then you can’t. Deus-sama, please grant Signi’s wish nothing. You can give Suzaku and Blue Dragon one to Regin and Signi. “Without these two shinigami beasts, I’m just a human, so the shinigami will be able to take me away.”
“no. “You can’t
come all the way here and leave empty-handed .”
Deus crossed his arms and looked at Zeke.
The messengers were seen making ceaseless efforts to take Zeke away.
As someone who could see, the Shinigami was nothing more than a troublesome fly. If you just shake your hand, it will disappear.
The problem was Zeke.
I can’t see and my senses are numb. If you fall for the Reaper’s trick, you will walk into the land of death on your own feet.
That was why
Deus never let go of Signi’s hand for a moment .
However, after experiencing what happened to Signi, I had no intention of holding Rajik’s hand.
Will a man get pregnant? I couldn’t give a definitive answer to that question.
Signi also raised her child in her back, not in the womb. Men don’t have a uterus, but they do have a back.
No one could say that pregnancy was impossible.
If by any chance Zeke had conceived his own child, he
might as well have been a demon lord or something and just committed suicide. No, it’s definitely better to commit suicide.
I don’t have the confidence to handle the stares that will come back after that.
Especially when I thought about Alex being rude, I was already starting to feel annoyed.
“Demons at least value contracts more than life, right? “You sold your soul to me and asked me to save you in exchange, so I must grant your wish.”
“Signi, that idiot!”
“You’re noisy, man. You are the same guy
. “Who is criticizing whom?”
“That’s right,
you brother and sister have depended on each other for a living, so it’s only natural. Anyway, what should I do… If you can see the Shinigami, everything will be solved. ah! That’s it!”
“Have you come up with any good ideas?”
“Oh yeah. Still, I guess God isn’t an idiot.”
“Please do not blaspheme too much in front of the warrior.”
“are you okay. Because I am the devil. Blasphemy
is like a hobby. Anyway, I got a good idea.”
“Are you already scared?”
“It’s noisy. “It’s going to hurt a little bit.”
” yes?”
Immediately after that, Zeke felt pain in his left eye, as if it were on fire.
Although he was a warrior who fought against the devil, he ended up screaming from the intense pain.
Soon, I felt a foreign body sensation in my left eye.
Once again, the pain felt as if an awl was pricking my eyelids, and my vision suddenly
turned white.
Everything happened so quickly that there was no time to think about what it was.
After a hellish moment, Zeke suddenly started waving his hands towards the surroundings.
“Can you see clearly?”
Deus asked and Zeke smiled bitterly.
“What did you do?”
“not a big deal. “I changed my eyes one by one.”
“…You sound like you changed the flour and vegetables at the local store.”
“In terms of difficulty, that is more difficult.
In order for a transaction to be completed, the store needs vegetables. Why would we have currency? “Bartering is hard work.”
Zeke saw Deus. His left eye was bleeding.
The eyes looked very familiar. His own left eye in the mirror is below Deus’ left eyelid.
“My left eye…is Deus-sama’s eye?”
“uh.”
“Is this okay?”
“Then do you want to go hand in hand? If you’re lucky, nothing might happen. “They say it’s only 1
percent.”
“…What’s the big deal about changing your eyes? Everyone does it. Ah, it was a refreshing change!”
“yes?”
Between pregnancy and body swap, Zeke preferred the latter.
Since Deus had the same thoughts, the negotiations ended quickly.
“Then follow me carefully. Never fall for something like the Reaper. Sometimes there might be a woman who gets naked and seduces you, so just follow her, you know?”
Zeke scratched his head.
“That’s a bit scary. “It would be easier to attack him with a weapon.”
“It looks like you have enough time to talk nonsense. “Then let’s go.”
“Yes, Deus.”
SIGNI opened his eyes in a room.
Not unfamiliar. No, that very familiar room was none other than the place where Signi lived in Neuekan.
Yulgeum took everyone and headed to Neuekan.
The castle city, full of mugwort monsters, was now empty.
It was thanks to the fact that all the people living there were hidden in the underground charcoal village.
Neuekan, which had become empty, became a land of monsters again.
Yulgeum opened a barrier in one of the buildings to prevent monsters from approaching.
“sister!”
Regin raised his voice and called out to Signi.
“Regin•…”
“Are you okay?”
“When did you get here? How…
“Yulgeum took me there.”
“ah! He… what about the child? “What happened to my child?”
Signi suddenly stood up.
“I’m sleeping in the next room right now. “I’ve been sleeping ever since that day.”
“Maybe I should breastfeed?”
“It’s too big for that. “It looks like he has grown as much as he has spent on my sister’s back.”
“So… you’re already 10 years old?”
“Human calculations have no meaning. “She is… the devil’s daughter.”
Signi recalled the events just before she gave birth.
“Regin, you need to be scolded really hard.”
“I•
“How could you do that to Brother Zeke? The reason we were able to survive is because you sacrificed yourself in every way. Who raised us since the day our parents died? “If you hadn’t found food for just one month, you and
I would have starved to death.”
“My brother has fallen.”
“You still don’t know the truth? You took on all the stigma to protect me. I ran away because I didn’t want you to get splashed with that muddy water. “Why don’t you know that?”
Regin lowered his head.
“Well… it’s not your fault. Because no one told you! It all started the day I died. In the fight against the former Demon King, I sacrificed myself for victory. As is the fate of all saints,
I met death in the war against the devil.” The final war always ended in the same pattern.
The saint sacrifices herself for the warrior, and the warrior dies for humanity.
The person who overturned the conclusion of that grand epic was none other than the demon king of the generation following Deus.
“Brother Zeke made a wish to the Demon King for me. “If it were corruption, it would be corruption… Even if the whole world criticizes him, you and I cannot do that.”
“To save your sister…
you joined hands with the devil?”
“okay.”
Signy told Regin about what happened that day.
Zeke traded all the glory for Signy’s life.
Signi wandered the underworld with the Demon King for a full year, and because they were holding hands during that time, she became pregnant with the Demon King’s child.
Although it was only recently that she found out that the lump on her back was a child, Signy calmly said that she had no regrets about it.
“Regin, I’m rather happy. Because I can repay the favor I received from Deus-sama in this way. If you think about it, I didn’t make a huge sacrifice because I just suffered from back discomfort for 10 years. “It’s nothing compared to the fact that I saved your life and your brother gained tremendous power comparable to that of a messenger from God.”
Regin’s heart throbbed as he heard these stories for the first time.
“I…
“Do you still hate your brother?”
“ I said
, “Next time I see you, I’ll be sure to tell you I’m sorry.”
Regin bows his head.
“Come here. “Let’s hug each other once.”
“You too. “I’m not a child anymore.”
“A 15-year-old is still young enough to be held in his sister’s arms.”
When Regin came to the Demon World, Signi fainted several times due to imminent dissolution. There was no time to talk openly with Regin.
Of course, Regin was also not in a state where he could have a conversation.
My poison rose sharply as I fought against the Demon Duke Bina and other demon nobles.
We couldn’t even communicate with each other because we thought Signi was cursed by the devil and was talking nonsense.
Signy pulled Regin and held him tightly in his arms.
Regin blushed.
“Because I’m not a child.”
“You will always be my little Regin.”
Regin’s eyes turned red.
I have been filled with sadness over the past 10 years.
He just wanted something like this.
Going back to the time when three siblings loved and depended on each other.
“Please help me. “I want to see my child.”
“Yes, sister.”
Regin became Signy’s shoulder.
Although my physical strength was not yet perfect, walking was not difficult.
While walking down that short hallway, Signi
imagined a lot.
How should I treat a tiny child?
Is it really not necessary to breastfeed?
Should I call you mom? Is it okay for me to call you daughter?
My heart was so heavy that I was breathing hard.
