My Wife Is the Devil

41 – Jifnel, the Angel of Love (4)

“Talia, you are a very lucky child.”

Red puddle, black blade, fallen man.

My daily life was perfect until yesterday.

The warm home is gone, and in the middle of the red living room that has turned into hell, a woman with a benevolent smile slowly approaches her little lady, flicking the knife in her hand.

“I just hate men’s bodies, so I prefer women and fresh, young bodies.”

So you don’t need to cut it into pieces with a knife.

She is a woman who laughs like crazy, holding her stomach and even shedding tears because she is so funny.

Thalia slowly backed away, her little body trembling at the fresh red, thick blood that came out every time her mother wiped away her tears.

“… Uh, Mom. Why are you doing this? Oh, my dad is sick, so we should hurry up and take him to the doctor…”

“… Ah, ah… Thalia, my daughter! What did I do? Uh, come here. “What on earth happened?”

When the woman heard her daughter’s voice, her facial expression changed in an instant, and the child’s nervousness eased at the sight of her mother’s usual appearance. The child let go of her guard and started walking quickly. Tried to walk to

-… No, it doesn’t work. Baby, that’s trying to trick you.

Stop-

Her small steps, which were moving towards her beloved mother at a rapid pace, stop, and the voice of an unknown woman echoing in her head confuses the child’s mind.

What are you talking about, my mom? My mom is over there right now…

Thalia shook her head, saying it couldn’t be like that, then raised her head and looked at the face of her beloved mother, Narin.

Look, she smiles and hugs me like always, the smile of a mother….

“… Why are you doing this? Thalia. “We have to get out of here quickly.”

Mom’s smile….

“… Tsk, it’s not easy to fool someone this young by saying they have the blessings of an angel.”

Mom’s smile… No.

A crooked black sword whose name is unknown.

Even when seen through a child’s eyes, the ominous demon sword soars high in her mother’s hand, the demon rushing towards her, and the feast of pink flames that burn it.

The mother, possessed by a devil, was burned alive in front of her child.

-… Thalia My lovely substitute.

An angel’s voice that I heard a long time ago and that I often hear once or twice a year.

The girl who was praying while looking at the statue of Rom in the middle of Kente’s only church heard the voice of Ziphnel, the angel of mercy, in her ears.

“…Jifnel? Long time no see. A lowly servant of God answers the angel’s call.”

-Why do we need etiquette between us? I’m glad you look healthy. Are you a little taller?

Gifnel giggled and playfully brought up the story about height that he always told Talia when he was young.

Thalia puffed out her cheeks and got angry in an uncharacteristic way when she said that she was still treating her like a child.

“I’m a grown woman now, and it’s been a long time since I grew taller!”

-Foot, it seems like it was just yesterday that you were always whining to me about wanting to grow taller like Julius. So, have you grown a little?

An angel of love who seems to have no intention of talking seriously at all.

In the end, Zifnel’s representative, Thalia, kept her mouth shut and even committed the act of disrespect by not answering the angel’s call.

-I understand, I understand. Since this is my first conversation with you in a long time, I made a joke.

“So, why are you speaking to me this time? “Today isn’t even my birthday.”

A sudden call from Jifnel, who only spoke during congratulatory events such as birthdays or death anniversaries.

In an unusual situation, Thalia frowned slightly and tilted her head.

-Nothing different, this time I decided to descend to the human world myself.

“… Eh? Are you saying he will come in person? Uh, when do you mean? “We need to prepare for the welcome ceremony now…”

She is confused by the angel’s words that he will go beyond her unusual work and descend directly into the human world.

Jeep Nel, who was her own representative but seemed to be a very foolish person, sighed and said to Thalia.

-This advent must be carried out quietly and secretly. It would be difficult to spread rumors around the neighborhood.

“… Ah, I understand. Then when on earth will Advent…?”

Thalia swallowed her saliva and slightly raised her head to ask a question to the angel.

Feeling a smile come to her face as she clearly looked nervous, Jeep Nel spoke out a word in a cheerful voice.

-Now.

“Oh, yes… Um… Now?”

A girl who is so startled that she even closes her eyes.

It seems that she is still a long way from becoming a mature woman.

***

A pure virgin.

This is the name of a small lake where Francis, a perverted divine beast who always follows Emily, an immortal priest, spends time in Kente Village.

Early in the morning, Thalia arrived at the lake at a leisurely pace without anyone noticing, revealed her face covered with her hair, and whispered her words.

“…Jifnel, I think you can come now.”

-… It looks really suspicious. It looks like no one is here, so I’ll just go downstairs.

In silence, only the sound of fallen leaves blowing in the wind fills the lake.

Thalia tied her uniform tighter as the cold wind heralded the approaching winter.

-Shhh.

A sharp noise that pierces the ears.

With a sharp tone, as if cutting metal with a knife, a cloud of blue smoke slowly began to rise from the air, emitting a mysterious energy.

“… This is the descent of an angel.”

What she was expecting was a splendid sight of the sky opening and the earth shaking, but as she thought blasphemously, ‘It’s not as bad as I thought,’ Zipnel’s sonorous voice came from in front of her.

“You’re probably not thinking, ‘Oh, there’s not much to see’ just now, are you?”

“… Oh, no! “It can’t be.”

Thalia hesitantly raised her head and looked at the blue smoke.

Soon, a woman’s white and smooth legs pop out from there.

Gifnel, who had obtained a body in the human world to contain the heavenly being, slowly and gracefully took one step at a time, and soon the angel of kindness and love, boasting a voluptuous figure worthy of being called the ultimate beauty, was completely transformed. Descended into the human world.

“Hmm, maybe it’s been a while since I’ve been here, so it feels a bit awkward. “The air also seems a bit tasteless.”

Every time she takes a breath, her beautiful feathers flutter, and three pairs of pure white wings, each one filled with heavenly majesty, spread out splendidly behind her.

Seeing Zifnel fully present for the first time since her childhood, Thalia held her tense heart and cautiously she walked towards the angel she served.

She puts saliva on her dry lips and opens her small, cherry-like mouth.

“Oh, long time no see. Lord Zifnel, your representative Thalia, I congratulate you here and now on the coming of the angel… Hach!”

She ended up sneezing because the feathers brushed past her nostrils when she opened her mouth. Embarrassed, she tried to open her mouth again, but she was bombarded with countless feathers spouting from Zifnel’s wings, and she had no choice but to keep coughing.

“Each! Oh, that’s not it… Etch!”

“… ….”

In the end, her sneezing stopped like a lie only after Jifnel hid his wings with a sullen expression.

The front of the lake where there is only silence and awkwardness.

Only Sword Demon Renelle, who had been watching this from hiding without any sign of them, trembled upon seeing them.

“What, what? “What about that giant hen?”

It looks like the alcohol from last night is still there.

***

“… So. Are you saying that high-ranking demons have been unleashed by the Holy Son and are wreaking havoc on this world?”

“Yes, gigantic beings who twist the world’s providence and attract evil. “The 24 voids that disturbed the world in the distant past have once again revealed themselves to the world.”

Lakeside covered in light fog.

At the shocking words of the angel, who was slowly walking down the street while breathing in the slightly chilly air, Inquisitor Thalia Zifnel just kept her mouth shut and couldn’t say anything, just mulling over those words.

Ancient evils that devour the world and turn illusions into truth.

The bloodied face of the woman that had become her childhood nightmare flashed through Thalia’s mind, and she chewed her lip, steeling her resolve, and lifted her head and looked at her zipnel. Shouted at.

“Well, in that case, we should all work together to seal them again. Aren’t they abominations that attract evil just by existing? Yes, Brother Julius and Brother Cryll. And with the power of the angels, it won’t be a problem to show the majesty of the Holy Age again.”

Thalia speaks in a hopeful voice, recalling the faces of her brothers who used to play together all those years ago.

Zipnell, who turned her head to look at her, let out a deep sigh as she looked at the pure white lake named after her purity.

“Unfortunately, it is not possible.”

“Uh, why? I don’t know if it were me, but if Brother Julius and Brother Krail join forces, there is nothing to be afraid of anyone in the world. Even more so if the angels also come forward.”

“Talia, my lovely substitute.”

“…Why, why are you doing that?”

I was able to recognize it instinctively.

The words that a beautiful angel would speak would be nothing short of cruel.

However, in the end, Thalia could not control her curiosity and did not stop her ears, and when the angel saw this, he just calmly told the girl her truth.

“There are two people who were actively involved in this matter. One is Saint Erman, and the other is Cryil Reynell. “I am your second brother.”

“Well, that can’t be possible.”

“And Julius Tapnel broke the laws of heaven and became Cecil Lionelta. No, an ancient demon released from its seal. “She accepted the bet with the ‘Monarch of the Nightmare’ and fell prey to her temptation.”

Thump-

Thalia couldn’t control her legs that suddenly lost their strength and fell down.

She was a faithful believer who had no doubts. Unable to believe the treachery of Julius and Krail, she desperately racked her brain and tried to refute the angel’s words.

“B-but, Cecil, you walked around fine even under the sun. And, after drinking Priest Emily’s holy water, he was fine… And again… There was something… Yes! You also dealt with the sacred flame. “Something… I’m mistaken.”

“Talia.”

The Emperor’s Nightmare is a transcendent being who has stepped onto the throne of God.

Even if she hasn’t completely broken the seal, it doesn’t matter to her to that extent.

Talia desperately denies the fact that the wife of the brother she loved is her devil.

However, the angel mercilessly only told her the truth in her cold way, and the black-haired girl was unable to control the feeling of betrayal flowing through her body and made her nauseous.

“… It must be truly shocking to you. “Your precious family was taken over by the devil you hated so much.”

“… Priest Emily, Priest Emily followed Brother Julius. “I’m sure you’ve noticed something strange and are putting your brother on the right track by now…”

“The adoptive son and adoptive daughter of Rom, the Lord. Although Brukin and Emily were aware of the current situation, they chose to ignore it. “They are the ones who do not take the devil-sacrifice ritual very cheerfully from the beginning.”

Thalia’s last bastion of trust has collapsed.

The angel’s representative, unable to control his trembling body and breathing heavily, eventually raised his head and asked the angel for an answer.

“Then, then maybe this situation is good, right? “If everyone, everyone has fallen prey to the devil’s whispers, what on earth should I do?”

Zipnel smiled slightly at the cry of the maiden praying to God with her tears in her eyes.

Yes, that is why I have made you my representative.

Unconditional hatred towards the devil.

Sometimes such hatred is also necessary.

The beautiful woman, who is also called the angel of her kindness, love, and prophecy, gently extends her hand of salvation to her.

A girl holding on to a small rope that fell from the sky.

Her angel slowly lowered her head towards her. The whisper of an angel passes by my ear.

“You and I will work together to save Julius Tapnel. “I will abominably dig into his weak heart, seal away the evil thing that pretends to be his wife, and pull your precious family out of the abyss.”

“… I am saving my brother.”

Thalia, who was looking at the water-soaked soil from a distance with her eyes that had lost their light, muttered softly.

A pleasant sound.

Yes, this is salvation. I will do my best to save you brothers who have taken the wrong path.

Demons, born from the void, do not know the human heart.

Everyone is just being deceived.

In the end, they are nothing more than beings who play with humans like playthings, ultimately taking their lives and making fun of the fleeting lives of humans.

So I have to do it.

I can’t even send my brother Julius away like my father did.

Talia sits on the floor and keeps muttering something.

Her jeepnel, which had been looking at her with satisfaction, left her side without a sound, with her brisk steps, and walked towards her big beautiful tree showing off her wonderful figure. Shouted softly.

“There’s a thief cat hiding. I won’t scold you, so come out here and have a look.”

“Hey, what is it? How did know?”

The pungent scent of cheap liquor can be felt faintly at the tip of the nose.

Zifnell frowned and gently covered her nose, making a small gesture towards the sword demon Renelle, a woman wearing strange clothes.

“Hmm, come here for a moment, little mortal.”

“Ah… The hen speaks! “The big hen is trying to eat me!”

Renelle is shaking her head with a look on her face as if she is not yet sober, and is acting drunk.

In her desperation, Jifnel, who had been looking at her in a mocking manner as she pretended to be drunk, grabbed her by the collar of her sword ear and made her angel’s ‘revelation’. Got off

“Listen carefully, throw away all the trivial acting.”

“… Oh, were you caught? “I didn’t mean to spy on this…”

“I will go to Aran from now on with Thalia, the lovely representative of lovingkindness.”

“Tourism, yes! “Tourism is good, but shouldn’t angels take a break sometimes so that everything in the world can be peaceful?”

“… I should have told you to stop talking nonsense. Well, okay. From now on, I will personally give you a revelation, so listen carefully.”

“… I understand. “Angel of charity and love.”

The sword spirit sheds her playful mood and slowly kneels towards the angel.

The angel, who could not bear to look at the disgusting sight of his strong thighs clearly exposed, turned his head to the side and made a revelation in a disapproving mood.

“Sooner or later, Reynell’s representative and Julius’ daughter will arrive here in Kente Village.”

“… ….”

“Tell them, Julius is not coming back here.”

“… Yes? “What do you mean by that?”

Ranell tilts his head and tries to understand the angel’s incomprehensible revelation.

Seeing her stupid behavior, Jeep Nel clicked her tongue and continued talking.

“Tsk, it’s not over yet, so stop being stupid.”

“Ah, ah… I’m sorry.”

“When I arrive here, I will definitely stay at Mila’s mansion the first night. Then, hold on to the ‘echo’ that will resonate the next day and go back the way you came. “I will tell you that.”

“Well, I’m not sure, so if you could explain it a little simpler.”

-Okay then, let me finish the revelation.

Hearing the voice of an angel imbued with the sacredness of heaven, there was nothing she could do other than fall flat on her face.

If she grabs her sword for no reason, she will never be able to get married and may end her life as a virgin.

Under the name of the Angel of Love, her proud knees became infinitely lighter.

Her angel of love, who was looking down at her sword spirit as she accepted her revelation, grinned at her and personally handed down her gift for her.

“Oh, by the way. “I will give you a prophecy as a gift.”

“Woe to you, the Emperor. “Archangel Zifnel.”

“You are an idiot who will never be able to get married. Just give up on that and continue walking the path of the sword.”

-Plop, plod, trudge

That was the end of the angel’s revelation.

I slowly raised my head and looked at her, and the angel picked up the girl who was still sitting on the ground, muttering ‘I have to save her’ over and over again. Three pairs of wings exploded from her waist, and with a single stomp, she covered the entire lakeside area. The sight of Zifnel and Thalia flying towards Aran in the distance, decorating the sky at dawn, comes into view, making a huge mess of the sky.

An act of voluntarily kneeling that I have never done before.

The one word that brought the swordsman, known for his high pride, to his knees.

‘Love’

Hearing the angel’s words that spring would never come to him, Renelle’s movements, which had been shaking his head desperately with his eyes wide open, stopped for a moment, and the legendary sword spirit, clenching his molars and shedding bloody tears, appeared at my waist. He smoothed the wrapped belt and spit out the words as if chewing and swallowing them.

“… Did you say it was Zipnel?”

They say he is an angel of love and an angel of relationships that connects love!

Why isn’t there just me? Why am I alone all my life?

“Next time we meet, I will definitely cut you down.”

I will have to avenge my love.

A cold autumn morning when a love that never came suddenly left.

Just as fall leaves and winter comes.

The love of the renowned genius swordsman also left.

No, I never came to see you in the first place.

Quaaa!
