"─ Eh."
Oh, my head hurts.
... Is that it? Why am I sleeping on the floor?
What, my body, I can't move!?
When I saw my body, my hands and feet were tied.
"Hey, why!?"
"Are you finally up?"
─ ─ !?
I was surprised to hear from behind.
Behind me was...
"The Duke of Ifel? What does this mean?!?"
The Duke of Ifel, the ruler of this Holy Capital, walked hand in hand behind him.
"Oh, you don't know what's going on here, do you?
As soon as I said that, the Duke of Ifel's appearance changed.
It was as if we had gathered the malice of the world and forced it to pack it into human form.
I am aware of this existence.
"... demon"
"That's the Virgin. I am Guscion, eleventh in sequence, with a demon of the Evil God."
That sucks.
There are countless demons in this world, but among them, the demons directly beneath the Seventy-Seven Pillars of Evil God have mighty power and can follow numerous demons.
It's a pretty high-ranking demon when it comes to the eleventh place in the sequence.
Why did such a demon come before me...
"─ ─ What, y, esha!?"
There was a large cross on the wall behind the demon, where Isha, a candidate for the Virgin who was to take over the Virgin, had been turned into a crook.
The cross that Isha is being crucified was something I had ever seen. I see it every day, so I can't possibly see it wrong.
Yes, it's a cross in the Great Temple.
This was the Great Temple.
It must be night because I can't see the light of the sun through the window.
I couldn't believe the Great Shrine, which is the knee of the Creator, had demons, etc.
But it's better than that.
"What did you do to Isha!?"
I was worried about her.
From what I've seen, he doesn't seem to be injured...
"Just like you did earlier, I'm just asleep. Well, I'll have it sacrificed to replenish the Holy Magic soon."
"In order for me to be the Virgin, I want you to sacrifice."
"Robelia! Are you kidding me?!?"
Behind the Great Temple, from the darkness came Robelia, synchronized with Isha. Robelia is the daughter of the Duke of Ifel.
That's where she is.
She was laughing when she saw Isha in her contemporaries being turned into a crook.
I mean, Robelia's a fellow demon, too.
And the devil wasn't taking over the body of the Duke of Ifel, the devil was the Duke of Ifel.
"It's time for the day to change. Shall we begin the ritual to make you the Virgin?"
"Yes, Father"
Robelia held the holy spear and approached Isha.
"Hold on! Keep your hands off her! I'm the one who made the sacrifice."
"That's an impossible consultation. You have to baptize my daughter."
The devil has approached me.
That hand on my head...
"All right, it looks like the bond that protects you has disappeared."
The devil's hand touched me.
You can't possibly touch me, the Virgin, the devil or the devil.
Soon a crackling black pattern was stretching out of the bracelet attached to my right wrist, eroding my body.
Maybe it's because of this.
"I have left the power of the Virgin only to the extent that I can baptize her, otherwise I will wipe out the power of the Virgin."
The devil taught me to be polite.
You want to see my desperate face.
You have to despair, don't you?
Without the power of the Virgin, nothing can be done.
I'm helpless.
I regret it, I regret it, I cry.
I can't even help the girl who trained hard every day to take over my job.
"It was a hard time for two hundred years. Your last job is to baptize the Devil's daughter into a Virgin."
"No matter how much they threaten me, I will never do that!!"
"Oh, never mind. This is how I can touch you. The Virgin's powers are weakening. You're easy to brainwash."
"Oh, no."
There's nothing I can do about it anymore.
"... God of Creation"
"Ha ha. No use! No matter how much this is the temple of the Creator God, God cannot interfere directly with us!!"
As you break my last hope, the devil will speak to you. I hate to admit it, but I think that's right.
I have only been entrusted by the Creating God. I've never seen you manifest in front of me.
But still, I've been praying to the Creator for 200 years, haven't I?
I wanted to play more like a normal girl. I wanted to eat something delicious, see a beautiful landscape, and get along with a guy.
I've put up with all that.
Because she's a Virgin.
I put up with having a relationship with a man.
If it's true, I wanted to dedicate myself to you.
I wanted to accompany him.
Finally, just do a little miracle.
Because I don't care what happens.
At least Esha alone can help (...) Ke (...) and (...).
"Is the last word 'God of Creation'? Don't you think it's okay to be a Virgin? Bye."
Something enters my head from the hands of the demon.
I'm not me anymore.
"─ ─ Guuuuuuu!!"
I was still, Saira.
It was the demon Guscion that was touching my head that was blown away by someone.
I blew up the devil. It was a knight.
You are not my protector, the Holy Knight.
Absolutely not.
Because the knight burned (...) and (...) and (...).
