“Is everyone together now? ”

You hear a cold, sharp voice beyond the smoke. In a blurry space filled with darkness, there are seven chairs that reveal only the contours. There are various attitudes that fit the number of chairs, such as sitting with a large doll or leaning on your legs.

Not only that. Dark shadows stand beside a rounded chair like a shredded soldier. One peculiar thing is that the number of shadows placed in each chair is uneven. Some chairs saw four shadows, while others did not.

“Wow, you're really pathetic. ”

Second left, based on the first chair you hear. An exaggerated voice sounded like it was trying to ventilate the silence. The two eyes, which squirm with black salt, turn around. Precisely shadowless chairs.

“Mamon, Pluton, Proserphina.... Uh, who else was there? Anyway, that's why the name" Demon 14 Monarch "is so lame. ”

“You. Mephistopelles. ”

From the reference point, the figure that was holding the doll tightly was hit. It is an atlantic voice that reminds me of a girl who looks just like her while talking nonstop. The Devil of Black Flame suddenly stiffens and turns to the right.

“Well, yeah. I lost mephistopelles in hell, too. I don't mean to criticize, but I'm not at liberty to say. ”

I wanted to admit it quietly, but suddenly I burst into a smile.

“But I need your help. At least you didn't get your neck snapped in hell. My cows still have two lives? ”

It is clear that the intention to exaggerate is to taunt the target. A pair of blue eyes glitter in the dark, whether you feel laughter. Stare at the Devil of Black Flame, releasing a shivering cold.

Boom!

Suddenly, a violent sound shook the darkness. Collision without any foresight. Shadows tremble at the aftermath of the impact of an intangible energy. The Devil of Black Flame jumps up and the Doll Girl jumps down as a chair. It is a sudden situation, as it seems, that they are looking at each other, regardless of the slightest matter.

It was that moment.

“Enough.”

The annoying hiss stops them both. However, the two demons did not stop, but the pale, elongated hands came up and stopped. Like the eye of a snake, the thin, long fingers of a spider's leg are relaxed and bent at the same time that the eyelids wrap around them. I don't know what that means. However, shortly before his hands were completely gripped, the two demons, who seemed to be fighting one game at a time, stopped the confrontation and hurriedly returned to the chair.

After a while, the rushing air subsided and the original static returned.

“I held a meeting today because ”

The first voice was,

“Today, I have an important choice. ”

Finally, you announce the beginning of the meeting.

“Yes. Very important... ”

As the eyes of those who sat on the chair turned away, the devil sitting at the reference point twisted his mouth as if he could see it.

“I know. Everyone's gonna be uncomfortable here anyway. ”

Unlike the soothing voice that just irritated me.

“I've already sent the information ahead of the meeting. If you've read it and thought about it, I don't want to drag it too long. Then…."

“Satan?”

At that moment, a clear voice stopped speaking as it softened. Someone raises their hand.

“I'll tell you what, I'm against it. ”

“Lucifer.... That's when I heard your opinion. Is it still the opposite of the line? ”

“Yes, as the Great Beyond says. We must accept the prophecy. ”

“Hmm.”

As if to keep talking, Satan shed a fierce tear.

“No. Do I need to say a phrase? I'm not proud of it, but I made sure that in exchange for the loss of two evil 14 lords, There was hatred and fear on the human side. This is Satan's confirmation, isn't it? ”

“I did.”

Satan accepts it with confidence. In other words, Lucifer was telling me to back off. In fact, you don't have the simplest feeling about giving up. However, no demon could open his mouth carelessly. Because I felt that much justification and weight in what Lucifer said.

“And don't you think that's strange? ”

Lucifer suddenly adds, Even though I said it was strange, I smiled that I was going to die because it was fun.

“Strange?”

“Yes, let's think about it. How many times have our plans been stopped? ”

Lucifer nods loudly at Satan's greeting and asks again.

“West Continent, Mamon, Magna Carta, the Duke of Hell, the Witch of Flowers, the Ancient Evil God…. A few of them were crushed before they even started.... Did you ever find this strange? ”

“What are you trying to say? ”

Lucifer points a finger at Satan's question, slowly lowering his hand. And he smiled gladly.

“Be sure to read our thoughts and plans…. No, it's like reading the future and acting on it. ”

There was groaning everywhere. In other words, it is not necessarily a vain word, but in the right place, it is not guaranteed. How many plans have gone back to bulldozing to say it was just a coincidence? Moreover, it was the same with the plans that had been proceeded in secret. I never thought about it, but I thought it was just nonsense, and I tried to doubt it for once.

“There's a chance, isn't there? ”

“Of course you can. ”

Lucifer disagrees with the constantly questioning Satan.

“Well, if it's all luck, like Satan said... It's scarier, isn't it? ”

The words continued to sink differently.

“To be frightened by the pity.... And it's helping us to get lucky. If that's true, I'm not sure I can win. You should just fold it up neatly here, conserve what's left of the power, and we'll figure out what to do next. ”

With his head cut off, Lucifer buries himself deep in the sheep that he's done what he needs to say. Satan has been accused of being justified. Lucifer's opinions are unwavering. In fact, the opinions that can come from the 'opposite side of the line’ are almost there. But not everyone here agrees. Satan, who thought so, turned his gaze around.

“I've heard enough of Lucifer. What about you guys? ”

“ ……. ”

Satan turns his back. However, no matter how long we wait, no one speaks. They just close their eyes or repeat meaningless acts of passing through each other. It was an act that could not be seen as a great demon, but a silence with a reason to lose. The first was that they all implicitly agreed with Lucifer and the second was aware of the disadvantages of the situation.

No, it's not a disadvantage to be here. Once Atlanta is targeted, the Steel Mountains no longer serve as a shield. The only problem until the North Continent advances to Terra is time. In other words, the devil's future is like a wind lamp.

“Oh, my God. This is why the meeting is meaningless. ”

Satan smiles quietly.

“Then why don't we do this? ”

I wonder if he foresaw this. After waiting for a long time and no objection, Satan brings out a new topic.

“Do you know what they say? It's majority.”

The moment the word "majority" appeared, not only the devil, but also the evil 14 lords shined a mysterious light. It's not because I don't know what it means. Mahjong is a world originally ruled by the law of full herbaceous cultivation and deficit survival. The strong survive and the weak are eliminated. In a world where the strong are the most democratic, there is no other way.

“Don't think too strangely. I want to confirm your opinion this way because you won't talk. ”

However, as it can be divided into seven large forces, it is not very common.

“Think easy. From now on, I'm counting. On the count of three, those who want to go fast raise their hands, and those who accept the prophecy stand still. However, I do not accept the abstinence. ”

Satan raises his body slowly. Even if you look around quietly, there are no objections. We still noticed each other, but we also saw a couple of curious eyes.

Satan opens his mouth unexpectedly while he is susceptible to unexpected susceptibility.

“One.”

The count started a little abruptly.

“Two.”

Someone takes a deep breath.

“… three. ”

After the count ends, Lucifer doesn't raise his hand. He glances at the side and sees Satan without raising his hand.

And...

“Ha.”

The moment I looked all the way around.

“Ha, ha ha…. ”

Lucifer laughs unnoticed.

“This is, I'm surprised. ”

Five great demons raise their hands, except Satan and Lucifer.

Baal, Astarot, Belzebub, Asmodeus, Lyris.

Five demons chose to follow.

*

I read the record in a frenzy. The record contained a lot of contents, both simple and dense. Destroying the Astarot that invaded Hell and exterminating Mephistopelles, second invasion of Hell by the Devil's alliance. And….

… Though I thought it was nothing, I never let my guard down. But they forced me to move in a way that I didn't even know existed. That's what I'm talking about.

What Gehenna is talking about is probably when she put Atlanta in front of her eyes. Yeah, I was surprised, too. I thought I changed it by taking over Cha Hee Young, but who knew that I would force Gehenna to move. The devil's ability to reconcile the twisted future was never shallow.

Apparently, they've been targeting you and the humans forever.

One thing to remember, the future never flows the way you think it will.

Think about it. Not to mention that the ancient evil gods couldn't avoid their horses, so they moved on their own accord.

That is, they have that kind of capability. How can we be sure that something similar will not happen in the future?

Again, the future never moves according to anyone's will.

It will definitely happen in a way that no one knows about, and in a way that no one has ever thought of.

But you can be ready.

Please be careful and be careful again.

As I was reading it, I had to swallow it. I feel like I'm being refreshed. It still doesn't feel like the fight you felt earlier.

And…. This is a small gesture, but there is one thing to apologize for.

You want me to apologize? Gehenna?

"The woman who came to see you then.

You mean Han So-young?

"The grass has been dead for a long time since you came back. That's very touching.

You've probably witnessed something strange, right?

… to tell you the truth, I implied it to her.

I felt something dangerous, so I thought I'd see if it would harm you.

“Oh, so...! ”

I burst my elasticity without even knowing it. At that time, I thought Han So-young was strange. As far as I'm concerned, even if he was angry, he wouldn't have been exposed. But I understand if Gehenna made an implication. I barely escaped with the help of my third eye and peace, but I don't think I can handle Han Soyoung.

"Hehe. I haven't figured it out yet, but I still want to say this.

That woman... I don't know. You're just spreading this weird energy you can't see as a human being. You seem to be a little aware of yourself. Maybe when you're naked and you see what it looks like, you'll see the real truth.

Beware of this, too. It is up to you to choose whether or not to hold her, but if you do, you must be prepared. The man next to her said very little. But she seems like she's no match for a damsel.

You might get a lifetime of remission if you don't get it right.

Oh, in a sexual sense.

“Yes, tyranny. ”

Haha laughs and shakes her head vigorously. With Han So-young anyway.) can not be developed into relationships. At least I think so. I definitely drew the line back then.

I keep wondering as I write.

Is it because of the naivety....

How do you feel reading this record?

She's probably blaming me, right? You don't think she understands?

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. I don't understand why I left without a word, even if I didn't resent it.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. But I had to do this.

So why?

I wasn't sure whether to smile and say goodbye to you.

At the same time, I felt a sudden rush of energy in my eyes.

I am a wicked woman. The more I stayed by your side, the more I kept having bad thoughts.

Every time I saw her begging me to stay with her, I felt a little sad.

It's a fact that I can't stay here.

Then you have to cross over to hell.

This is.... undeniable.

In fact, I felt a number of times.

Should I just close my eyes adequately and replenish your secret offering? Or I'll force my hand and take you to hell.

Ugh, mmm. That's a terrible thing to say.

But you shouldn't.

Traditionally, either side has to sacrifice.

And as much as I have the aptitude for hell, you have the aptitude for this world.

I felt ashamed of myself for giving up my greed when I thought that way.

The important thing is, the greed didn't go away.

In the end, I had to make a decision.

Focusing on reading it, I didn't have much time left. I lowered my eyes as I felt my chest throbbing.

Soo-hyun, Soo-hyun, Soo-hyun, Soo-hyun.

Wouldn't you rather be with me? Wouldn't you like to be loved as a man?

But the true path for you was not to follow greed, but to leave one day sooner.

Do you really understand this?

I understand. I wouldn't have known, but I learned something from my brother. Gehenna saw, judged, thought and acted on everything I had built up, not just me.

You can call me a coward.

You can blame me and hate me right now.

Niani was the one who ran away, so I'm going to take it easy.

But if there's one thing I want...

It's been a long time and you'll remember me someday.

Please, I hope you understand me.

Soo-hyun.

You, of all people, should know that, right?

Someday I will.

Will you understand my love for a human named Kim Soo-hyun...?

Maybe it's because of the agony written on the record. The desperate confession of Gehenna exhales like a breath. By the time I saw the margins below, I realized that I was smiling. It was strange. My heart was sad, but my face was smiling. Haha, haha.

I felt like I couldn't take it anymore, so I just went out on the terrace. When I saw the night sky stretching out, my heart opened up. This is a strange thing.I was exhausted until just a moment ago, but I felt like I had washed up.

I took the lotus weed out of my chest and lit it. Then I sucked a sip deeper and lifted the record. As the birch hits the edge of the record, the black soot gradually spreads and begins to burn.

After a few moments, I saw the corner of the record burn swiftly, and I threw the record into the air without a doubt.

- Is there anything you haven't read yet...?

A cautious voice echoes through your ears.

Of course, I haven't seen the front, but I don't need to read it.

Warning about the Devil, worrying about me, confessing about Han Soyoung, Gehenna herself.... Gehenna's unfiltered sincerity was already overwhelming. I don't need to read any more. Instead of reading it and getting a weird feeling, maybe it's time to hang up here. Somehow I think I know what it feels like for Gehenna to leave without saying a word.

I look up at the sky. A record that has been burnt more than half of the time suddenly bends like the wind and falls down on my face. Freshly fried dung disappears, shaking like a dance.

The more the record burns, the more the heart melts in my heart. Breathing in the cool night air makes me feel cool and refreshing. It's so refreshing that I want to keep my head open. I feel like screaming out loud.

But I couldn't do it. I looked through the night sky, where a small flame was embroidered. The night landscape is more vivid than ever.

I was able to smile without pretending, not with a smile.

Maybe….

I think I woke up from that night's dream.
