Episode 113: Let's Talk Demons

"Well, you mean the devil. It's a demon that binds the soul of man to his covenant."

and Louise explains to the wind.

As the wind noise had asked, Louise had called the wind noise to the corner of the deck to provide an explanation of the situation. I didn't call the other members because it would also touch on Minaka's personal circumstances.

"Tie your soul with a contract?

Louise cuts out "for example" to the question of wind noise.

"Do this for me - or do this for me - a wack of humans making demands on demons. And the devil will give his soul if his demands are met.

"I see."

"It's called using those people as contractors, or demons, but when you make a contract, you can pass with the devil, so you can use the power of the devil through it. So your little lady tried to make herself stronger by signing with the devil."

"Sorry"

Minaka leans down with a shunny face. It is sitting in the front seat and reflecting.

"Well, the contract with the Succubus. Then, because the Precision increases its magic and improves its physical abilities slightly, it doesn't make it that much stronger, and it can't be natural to dream of becoming the best martial artist in the world. There's just a way out of this. Even if it's different from the contract, it's basically okay if you satisfy the contractor."

Louise watches Minaka with Zito eyes. Sensing the intention, Minaka turned her face bright red and leaned even further.

"Oh, you mean you got hooked on the night archery?

Louise answers "Correct" to the wind sound that derived the answer after seeing how it went.

"With Soyuko. Because this purpose was about to be switched that way, and soon they would have taken over the flesh and dragged their souls into the devil."

Minaka trembles at Louise's words.

"Well, now that demon's in here,"

That's what Louise said. She took out the dagger and showed it to me. It had a spell-written cloth wrapped around it. It was probably a demon seal because it was equally wrapped around what looked like a carcass during Diabo.

"Every day, every day, I feel like I've been screwed by this guy."

Minaka's face turns bright red to her ears on Louise's words waving a bumbled and sealed dagger. I'm sure you remember what happened before. I don't know what they were doing, but they must have done something.

"Ma, if you punish me for this, don't think about having fun and being strong. Work it out properly. That's how I still hang in there, Grandpa."

"Yes. I'm so sorry. And thank you for everything."

Minaka bows her head deeply to Louise's words and says thank you.

"Well, I'll be over here during the tournament, and I'll give you another massage if you want."

Minaka blushes at Louise's words that go on like that.

"Uh... well, thank you."

You reminded me a little along the way. My eyes were trong. Massage scared.

"Nah. A demon is about that Astral demon, right?

The wind sounds like that. Leave Minaka alone and ask her what she wondered.

"Right. It's just technically they're not demons. I don't have a core."

"Not a demon?

That's my first ear.

"It's also supposed to be a collection of people's souls. A demon's personality belongs to the highest soul that rules a collection of souls. The history of the devil itself is ancient, and everything seems to have existed longer than God."

"It's been a long time. Or is it telling you that it's older than God?

"God said it."

(Oh, God, you're here)

and the wind noise reminded me of a story I had heard before.

"Just. They eat souls poorly and they take over the other way when that's superior to their own souls, right? So in the form of a contract, we need to purposefully tie ourselves up and create a relationship, and then we need to take the means to take our souls away."

"Doesn't that take over?

"Looks like it. I couldn't kill Diavo because I had already put my soul in it for a long time, so I had to seal it."

Yes, Louise speaks, but the wind sounds reminded me that I have Diavo skills in me. That's when you should have killed him eventually with the second character's immediate-death magic. But the Astral Body didn't disappear, and Louise's decision that he wasn't dead meant that Diabo couldn't kill him.

(If you killed the top soul named Diavo in pinpoint with instant death magic, maybe it's something else than Diavo if it's resurrected?

Yes, I've thought about the wind noise, but most of all, it is completely sealed at the moment, so there is no way to confirm it.

"So what good is it when you take your soul?

"I do. If you take Minaka's soul, you'll be able to use Minaka's sword moves, and if you're a magician, you'll be able to use your magic and if you're a bowman, you'll be able to use your bow well. Naturally, you have the knowledge of that person. Well, to avoid over-synchronizing consciousness, it seems to be something to explore when you need it."

"Hmm. Kind of like taking away your skills?

"But I'm only taking skills, so I guess not," he returned, saying that Louise might be the same for the wind sound.

"Mm-hmm. Right."

So does the wind noise. Technically, I also get experience. But that's the same for bowflowers, and so is Tiara, who manipulates the subpoena. But maybe you're doing the same thing in terms of getting skills?... and the wind sounds were on my mind. Well, I didn't know what I was thinking.

When the wind sounds were talking like that, I heard "We're Arriving -" Looks like we're finally getting to the city of Lizarect.

◎ City of Lizarect Day

The Hippocampus pulling Thunderchariot off the dragon ship was still prominent in the city. Those who went to the city looked at the pitch-black figure, but the plague, unlike any other city, was filled with a very favourable voice.

"Oh, come on, what big guy's here?"

"We talked about a bad gathering this year at the Grand Martial Arts Club, but Doelai's is here."

"Hey, isn't that the fang spear soldier over there?

"It's the first revival of a winner in ten years. Damn it. He's carrying a spear, too, and he's talking nonsense."

And, well, the masses thought that a big player from the Great Martial Arts Association had come, and it was very exciting. By the way, as it was in the conversation, Jinlai has won the Grand Martial Arts Club ten years ago.

"It's nice to be lively."

The wind sounded in the carriage and I'm looking out.

"I kind of feel like only expectations are being raised more and more"

Next to it, the bowflower looks depressing.

"Are you glad I'm with you?

"I don't care. As a demon hunter, I can't leave you like that."

From the dragon ship, Minaka was in the carriage with him. This is because Louise said she would keep it close for a while because she also needs aftercare. Louise took care of him to some extent during the tournament.

"Well never mind Mr. Minaka either. Oh, you want some frozen minkan?

Naoki said so and handed him the frozen minkan.

"Hiccup."

Minaka raises her voice to that cold. Stimulation is dangerous. I'm being sensitive.

Naoki, you can't do anything weird to Minaka.

"No, what are you talking about, sister? I'm fucked."

Naoki, whose nostrils clearly spread in Minaka's voice today, panicked greatly at his sister's scratch. Or my peripheral gaze hurts. It doesn't even look like Harlem by chance, but for Naoki at the bottom of the hierarchy, this was Away itself. These days it has become a dreadful situation to settle down when I am with Jinlai more than my beloved sister. Naoki, who would be too maniacal for jiji only or something.

◎ Arena reception

Hippo Round stopped, and his surroundings bogged when he saw the wind noises coming down from the carriage. Not many skilled warriors know fang spear soldiers, and many adventurers from Minciana know the wind sounds, and the names of a bunch of whites and ghost killer princesses are whispered by the way. Naoki was also given an indestructible cloak from the wind, so Minaka is the only one who isn't white. Louise said she needed help with the Adventurer Alliance and acted alone. Apparently to have the sealed demon processed.

Naoki and Bowflower applied to participate in the regular martial arts club at reception and Naoki applied to participate in the exclusive summons competition. Tiara and Jinlai are non-participating. Tiara can't just show her face too publicly, and Jinlai is also not willing to participate anymore because she is concerned about the subtle difference from the actual battle when she was previously in the tournament. I also hope that my disciples will have more experience in fighting and fighting against different opponents. Nature and strategy also narrow in meetings with Jinlai alone. Naoki is also training jointly now, but it is still better to have more experience to gain.

Apparently, the Great Martial Arts Association had already begun, and it now seemed that qualifications were being held between the participants. Bowflower and Minaka both took part in the qualifying match tomorrow. Naoki did not qualify for the tournament due to his several martial arts club achievements in Hyvern, but participated in the main tournament of the Grand Martial Arts Association.

It should be noted that the Summon Exclusive Martial Arts Club had a small number of participants, so the wind noise remained in the main battle.

◎ City Adventurers Guild Office in Lizarect

"Hmm, might not taste good"

Together with Tiara, the wind sounds that normalized the inn due to the tournament participants' preferences had come to the Adventurer Guild office to pick up Louise. But Louise, who looked difficult when she walked into the office, spoke with a receptionist and a serious face. And when I saw the wind noises coming, I said "yummy" at the aperture.

"Is something wrong?

I think and ask Louise's serious face that the wind sounds like nothing happened.

"Hi, I hear you have a lot of demon contracts."

The receptionist also nodded at Louise's words.

"Is the Devil's Contract like Mr. Minaka?

"It is. People who originally thought about growing their grades a little at competitions like this are easy to catch. Thank you. That's a lot this time."

"Can't you get him?

The receptionist answers the words of wind noise.

"It's hard. A contract, for example, is a contract with a subpoena via magic itself. Just because you're a demon doesn't make it a direct problem."

"Could there be something like Diabo?

Tiara heard with a frizzy face. But Louise shook her head, "No, no, no."

"If that big guy comes out, that's not where the fight comes from. Because he's the best of the demons. That one."

"But you think there's a lot of them?

"It is. I'm asked to hunt it out with the title of the devil hunt, and it's hard to say no. Ah, it's so annoying."

"Don't say that. I've sent many demon hunters from the Alliance, and if you can fight under the command of your famous Louise Cancer, you'll all gain morale."

"Yes, sir. I know, I know. No more."

Louise swells her cheeks to face the wind noise.

"That's why I might act differently for a while. Can you ask Jin Rai-kun to keep Tiara's escort? If you're not going to the tournament anyway, you're free."

"Yeah, roger that."

That's how the wind replied, and he went back to Louise to tell her where the lodging was.

By the way, in addition to Jinlai, Bowflower and Naoki, Minaka was currently in training and there was no one there to go back to...... and I had a parent when I thought about it.

"Uh, why?
