The Villain’s Sister Suffers Today

Alice's body, which fell from a high place, collided with the ground with a loud noise and dust.

I put that figure in my sight without missing anything, and Gyerg talked next to me.

“Be honest with me. You were a little scared, weren't you?”

“……No!”

I answered so, but my conscience stung a little.

I asked again while turning a blind eye to the protest of conscience.

“And you? Didn't you shake a little bit?”

“Me?”

“You can be honest with me because it's okay. I won't tease you.”

Ash approached Alice’s fallen body to make sure she was done.

Alice was still not dying, wriggling and spitting black blood.

…….so persistent. Really.

It wasn't a good sight to see, but as I was watching Alice's last moment with a determination not to miss it, Gyerg replied.

“Hey, human, don't you know me? Would I be shaken by the stupid suicide proposal? Me”

“That's…….”

I was thinking about arguing against the expression of suicide, but soon I gave up and became honest.

“Yes, to be honest, I was more nervous about you betraying me and dying in Ash’s hands than about betraying me just now.”

“Anyway, you're nervous.”

“Uh.”

Now that I became honest, it was my turn.

It wasn't much, just an impromptu question.

“But you know. What if it wasn't suicide, what if it was really possible? So…… What if you could really do what Alice said?”

“…….”

“Then are you gonna do what Alice said?”

What am I thinking, asking this question?

The answer was a set question anyway.

I had no choice but to. As Alice said, Demon’s world is home to Gyerg, and nothing is more important to him than getting his hometown back.

I asked a question with a fixed answer and waited silently.

When Ash pulled out a sword stuck in Alice' chest and stuck it in her chest again, Gyerg replied.

“No, not really.”

“……No? Why?”

“Don't humans have that too? Identified as half-mixed.”

“Well, yeah, but…….”

“We're worse. Really.”

Alice, who had a sword in her heart twice, choked up and threw up blood.

Gyerg continued, looking calmly at it.

“You hear her say that my blood is dirty, didn’t you? That's how she was dying while vomiting dead blood over there.”

“…….”

“It was my daily routine. In the demon’s world, yes, it's my hometown… but it was a bit of a dirty hometown.”

Alice threw up blood again with convulsions.

I knew it intuitively. That's her end.

“It's just so. I'm angry that I lost my home, and I'm lying if I don't want to beat the devil to death……. but I don't know if I desperately want to do it.”

“…….”

“You know what I mean? If you don’t understand just try to understand it by your own”

“I know.”

When I answered briefly, Alice, who threw up her last blood, stopped moving.

I thought with my eyes on Alice, who didn't budge.

‘Lie.'

Gyerg's peaceful voice didn't sound like he was lying at all, but I was sure.

He told me this before.

He has nowhere to go.

‘He told me that his home was gone.'

A place to go.

Home.

However, the demon's world was like that for Gyerg anyway. He said it was a dirty hometown, but it was his hometown.

A place he had to go. A place he can go back.

It was that kind of place. And it will continue to be like that. If it hadn't been taken away by the devil.

He wants it back. Of course.

If he can, even if he had to give his life.

“….….”

But Gyerg lied to me, and I thought maybe the lie was for me.

‘Like a white lie telling what I want to hear.'

I looked at Gyerg.

Instead of asking him to be honest, I only added that.

“You know what? Especially, I can see the future.”

“…….”

“In that future, all the devils died.”

“……”

“I'm not saying they’re going to die of natural causes. They brought disaster into their hands and ruined it, for example… Yeah, like Alice.”

“…….”

“Maybe it's the future that Alice's ghost will bring?”

“That's a good future to hear.”

Gyerg answered with a smile.

“Although, she wouldn’t be a ghost after died”

“Huh?”

Of course, it is known that the original soul remains as a ghost when it dies unjustly.

Alice died fairly, let alone unjustified…… Still, wouldn't it be possible for Alice’s soul to remain as a ghost because of that temper? 

No, I think it will remain unconditionally.

‘Or are the demons just not believing in the ghost spirit superstition?'

That's understandable. Then the lights were on all over the mansion.

After a while, the murmuring sounds grew closer and closer.

“Didn't you hear anything just now?”

“Did I hear something wrong, something thump…….”

“I heard it, too. The heavy thing was falling…….”

I thought while listening to the upcoming fuss and disturbance.

‘The magic is unlocked.'

Just before Alice died, her strength weakened and the sleeping magic of the mansion seemed to have been lifted.

“Right? I'm not the only one who heard it. I'm sure there's a strange sound”

Bessie, who was getting closer to the lead, stopped walking.

“……Lady?”

“Madam, Duke.”

“No, what's going on.….”

I was looking at surprised and embarrassed faces, and suddenly I thought of something important.

‘Alice!’

When Alice died, the deformity disappeared.

The wings and horns disappeared and the skin colour returned to its original state.

The problem is that after that, she looked very humane.

Of course, the blood was still black, but the yard was dark anyway, so she looked like a normal corpse from afar.….

Thinking so far, I hurriedly turned my head and opened my mouth.

“Well, this is–“

But I was speechless and soon hardened.

What is it?

None.

There was nobody in Alice.

‘Where'd it go?'

Instead, only the dress Alice was wearing was placed there.

While embarrassed, Bessie approached and picked up the dress.

“What's this….”

Then she looked at me with a look of asking for an explanation.

‘Oh, that dress? That's what Alice was wearing. Alice Danekier, you know? She wasn't actually a human, she was a demon. So she got killed in a fight, but her body suddenly disappeared and her clothes are right there.….'

I calmly opened my mouth after organizing the situation in my head.

“It's my clothes.”

“What's wrong with your clothes?”

“.… blown away by the wind. I took it out to the terrace for a while and then the wind blew and I missed it. And I was out to pick it up.”

Sounds pretty good. Doesn't that make sense for an impromptu one?

Just as it happened, the black bloodstains that Alice spilt were erased as if they had evaporated.

‘Thanks to it, I’m saved, but…….’

“But what happened to this part of the chest–“

“It's a defective product! That's right! I was going to throw that thing away! I'll throw it away right now. Right now.”

I snatched the dress from Bessie in a hurry.

I forgot. The marks that Ash pierced with the sword are still there.

There was a cold sweat inside, but Bessie asked no more about the dress.

Instead, she turned to something else.

“Yes, let's say that's…Uh, but what's wrong with this place?”

“Huh?”

“What the hell happened here…….”

Bessie frowned, unable to speak at all.

I suddenly checked ‘what it looks like’ here.

The floor that's been dug up. Fallen tree, smashed terrace railing…… God, when did that happen?

It was serious all of a sudden. I spoke in an unconfident voice after examining the surroundings that seemed impossible to explain except that there was a war.

“Ash……”

“…….”

“……because Ash was fighting?”

The ending went out in question as I said since it was too ridiculous.

But also, I don't think it's a lie at all, asked Bessie.

“Fighting? To whom?”

That's a valid question. I don't know.

I pointed at the Gyerg.

“Hey.”

Gyerg, who put the horns on his forehead out of sight, was embarrassed when he got attention.

“Huh? This is the man who stayed in the mansion before.”

“Yes, that's right. He suddenly came without contacting me, and he’s going to stay for a while this time as well.”

“Really? But why did the Duke fight with someone so suddenly?”

It seemed that there was a word hidden behind it, asking, why in the middle of the night, and why in this place.

I hesitated, but soon I answered less confidently than I had before.

“Because I asked him to show me his fighting……?”

“…….”

“…….”

What is it?

However, the fastest and most clearly accepted atmosphere has spread around.

No, wait a second. What's up?

Why are they nodding?

Why do they look like they accept that?

“Ahhhh, I see.”

Things finally came to an end with Bessie's clear sigh that she finally understood everything.

However, in the meantime, I was the only one who felt nervous and embarrassed.

***

It was dawn.

The mansion was again armed with darkness and stillness.

It was a while ago after I pushed Bessie, who said she would clean up the mess even a little bit and sleep, back into the extreme room saying she could do it when the day came and turned off all the lights in the mansion.

I immediately opened my eyes while lying with Ash in another room instead of my messy bedroom.

‘……I can't sleep.'
