The Devil Who Grants Wishes

chapter 32



“Lucia-sama, it’s really dangerous.”

Aegoceros, holding a magic stone in his hand, is confronting Lucia.

Normally, Aegoceros would never reject Lucia’s request, but in this case, Faust’s order takes precedence, so Aegoceros goes beyond refusing Lucia’s offer and resists altogether.

“Korokke, don’t be rude and give it to me.”

Can not be done. This really doesn’t work.

Lucia-sama obviously has powerful magic and mana that doesn’t dry out just like Faust-sama, but her body is still an ordinary human being.

The probability that it will work is low, and even if it does, you will not see the proper effect. It’s not even worth mentioning when it fails.

It succeeds or it does not succeed, but the reaction will come immediately, and the body will not be strong…

“Lucia-sama, please just wait. You will get what you want without rushing.”

Although Lucia-sama still exists as a human, it does not mean that she is not affected by magic. Aren’t the pupils immediately turning red and the overwhelmingly powerful magic and vast amount of mana proof of that?

Obviously, if you just wait like this, you will get what you want.

Of course, Lucia-sama hates that wait, though.

“How long do I have to wait? How many years has this been? Look, look at Nero.”

“purr…”

Lucia-sama pats Nero in her arms and says so.

Although 13-year-old Nero is two years ahead of the average cat lifespan of 15 years, there is no sign of weakness.

Because Nero is no longer a cat.

As soon as he was adopted, Nero, who transformed into a beast within a week, made Lucia-sama have very high expectations.

Waves-

“The same goes for this starfish. Why do I have to wait so long?”

Also, the senior who had transformed into a beast before that had a great influence on Lucia-sama’s expectations.

Of course, such hopes have long since been dashed, as you can see now.

No matter how much I waited, no matter how long I waited for 15 years, Lucia-sama did not become a beast.

…By the way, senior, why are you doing this?

Don’t you act with dignity and dignity in front of me? But why are you so scared in front of Faust and Lucia…

“I overcame the excess of mana. Now I just have to deal with the magic.”

“…”

Anyway, Lucia-sama came to have a longing after seeing Nero and her seniors and many other magical beasts.

Those who are free even if they receive magic, those who have become magical beasts and become the true family of Faust-sama.

And that longing has now become the result of Lucia-sama’s rant about becoming a demonic beast.

Lucia-sama should never become a beast.

Aren’t those two just lowly cats and flowers before becoming beasts? Lucia’s case is completely different.

“Lucia-sama, Lucia-sama must not turn into a simple demon.”

“Are you saying that again?”

“Yes, I will continue to say this. Please be patient.”

Lucia-sama must become a demon, not a beast. That is the path that Lucia-sama, the first member of Faust-sama’s first family and alter ego, should go.

It’s just too much of a waste to become a beast.

If Lucia-sama becomes a magical beast, she will be strong right now, but her growth limit will definitely be cut to pieces.

Such behavior is absolutely unacceptable and should not be tolerated. The same will be true of Faust.

“Lucia-sama. Didn’t I tell you that if you become a beast, you become weaker and your ego is transformed? But why are you doing this?”

Above all, if a being whose self is already firmly held is transformed into a demon, the self will also be transformed accordingly.

Of course, it is not a very important issue to me, but for Faust-sama, who is not a pure demon, such a phenomenon must be prevented by any means possible.

As I follow Faust-sama’s orders and will, it is my duty to protect Lucia-sama’s safety and stop the beast form.

“…If it’s too late, it’ll be taken away. Come on, I need to make sure Dad doesn’t leave my side at least a day sooner.

Are you still talking like that?

They don’t leave forever, they come back every two hours, so what’s the problem?

Well, it’s good that you still have such a strong desire to monopolize.

If there is no desire, there are many difficulties with demonization, so there is no need to worry about that.

“Anyway, I will keep this manastone well. If you try to become a beast by swallowing the manastone, the chances of success are low, but even if you do, the majority of your mind and body will be severely damaged. It’s okay.”

“…Korokke, you’ve been cheeky these days.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

Terrible.

You are the owner who is hard to dry.

If you open your eyes even for a moment, you’ll do strange things with the Manastone, so I’ll have to keep an eye on you.

‘By the way… I’m really curious.’

Why the hell is it that all other things receive Faust-sama’s magic and transform into demons, but why doesn’t Lucia-sama do that?

Ummm… At this point, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t know because there aren’t too many clues. Shall I try to investigate slowly?

**********

“Certainly, the surrounding environment was too eroded to be Magi.”

After returning from Irene’s shop, Aigo immediately nodded in agreement when he said that he had to move quickly because the environment was so polluted.

After all, there’s no way Aigo, who is always by Lucia’s side, is unaware that the surrounding environment has been seriously eroded by Magi.

…But why didn’t you tell me that? You must be very aware that you are moving because you drink every year, right?

“Did you already know? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t tell you because I thought Faust would know. I’m sorry.”

If someone else had said something like this, I would have thought they were giving me a thumbs up, but I can’t believe that Aigo, who is essentially unable to act against me at all, would.

Aigoo really thought I already knew.

Uh… um…

No… I don’t know what to say when I say that…

“Dad, where are we going next?”

At that moment, when Lucia hears that she has to move, she is interested in where to move next.

Moving every year is highly likely to lead to a very bad outcome in establishing a child’s identity, but fortunately, Lucia did not experience such a thing and grew up with a personality that likes moving itself.

I feel it all the time, but I didn’t do much for Lucia, but I’m so glad that she grew up so brave.

“It’s the Elven Forest. It’s a place I’ve been to before, but since it was 13 years ago, the Magi must have already been neutralized.”

“The Great Forest…?”

It seems that Lucia doesn’t remember well.

Indeed, it has to be

Lucia at that time must have been 4 years old, but it would be absurd to have the memories of when a person was 4 years old even after they have grown up.

“Because it’s a large forest! It’s a good choice. When I was there before, the situation wasn’t good, so I just lived there, but this time I’m sure you’ll be able to show off your magnificence.”

“Wonderful?”

“Yes, this time, the elves will not be able to ignore Faust-sama. We are going to make the old idiots submissive to Faust…!”

At that moment, Aigo suddenly realizes that he is going to the Great Forest and makes a strange noise. If it hadn’t been for Faust’s body, it would have made me tremble in surprise.

…No, what else is he talking about?

“When I went to the Great Forest 13 years ago, Lucia-sama was too young to take action first.

“Stop, I’m not going to conquer the elves.”

There is no more place left to move, and the environment of Daesoorim will be healthy for Lucia, and above all, I chose Daesurim because I met the elves Irene and Lena at the same time.

Conquering some great forest and subjugating the elves is not the purpose of going there.

“Keep in mind that we will exchange friendly with the elves this time as we did last time.”

“…Yes, Faust.”

Damn, no matter how demonic you are, why are you so warlike?

Even though he had restrained his aggression a lot through brainwashing, if he saw this, what would the original Aigo be like?

“Ummm… Daddy, what happened to you the last time you went?”

At that time, Lucia, seeing that I had given Aigo a passionate and firm order, expresses her curiosity about what happened in the Great Forest in the past.

“Nothing happened.”

“Anything?”

“okay.”

“Hey, that’s a lie. I’m old enough to tell you.”

I told the truth without a single lie, but Lucia concludes that my answer is just a lie.

No… I’m not lying.

When we went to the Great Forest before, no elves came near us, so we just left after a year.

And you’re only 17, have you eaten enough to grow old? Ew… these days…

“Lucia-sama, Faust-sama’s answer is true.”

“Huh? Really?”

Only after Aigo, who couldn’t see him, broke in, Lucia’s doubts subsided.

No… Why are you skeptical of my words, but why do you meekly understand Aigo’s words…?

a little sad
