Maou no Hajimekata

"Hey, celebrate my birthday, too."

"What are you talking about?"

To the usual abrupt offer of a demon, the evil demon king returned it in a dismal tone.

"Uh, 'cause Eunice celebrates every year, right? Even Spina is secretly celebrating. I don't think it's fair that I'm the only one with nothing."

"... nothing like celebrating..."

You noticed, the inner owl groans.

Spina's birthday was the day she abandoned her previous name and became a magician. In other words, it was the first day with Oul.

Not liking a very lively place, she never set up a celebratory seat like Eunice, but without any reason, it mimicked her to drink with her mentor and move on to rapprochement.

"Nothing. I'm not saying anything about celebrating the country in a big way. I was just hoping your husband would tell me a little, happy birthday, thank you all the time, I love you."

"Don't mix requests that have nothing to do with rustling and birthdays"

As Oul points out, Lil turns away from the lid. I could see a red-dyed noose from the gap in my hair dripping like silk thread.

"If you can light it, don't say it."

"... what?"

"Well, not stingy about that...... when's your birthday in the first place"

"Eh."

Asked again, Lil was cramped with answers. I don't remember anything about the day I was born. In the first place, in the demonic world without the concept of calendar, the season was not even certain.

"Uh... well, that's it. The day Raz died. Isn't that my birthday, in a way?

"Guy named you... Whatever it takes. That's too bad for you"

"It's the devil, I can't help it"

"Either way, I don't remember until the fine date. I think it was decades ago. As hard as I can remember it was around spring."

"Um, well, that's it. What was the first day you were in Oulu?

"Then I remember... generally, nine months from now."

"Uh."

"What dissatisfaction?"

"It's far away! It's too far! Let's do it the day after tomorrow or something."

"It's too short. First of all, I have nothing to do with you."

"Ugh."

swelling cheeks, Lil roars.

"Just wait about 9 months. It's not long or short for you."

The words of Oul turned Lil's emotions upside down.

"... Enough"

Fluttering up into the universe, she leaves the room.

Even though there wasn't much time left...... Lil sighed out of Oul's room.

It's not that long before she can be beside Oulu.

A lot of quotes, but only a few hundred years later.

No matter how much magic you use or keep your flesh young, a man's soul has a life span. I can't live indefinitely with the devil, but I have much longer to hold. Lil himself is still less than a hundred, but he can live for at least a few thousand years.

As I walked with that in mind, I saw the presence of the living witness. Four thick, rough arms on a flaming red body. With a horn twisted like a goat, it was Logan, the devil who raved about living thousands of years.

"Loga......"

Lil hesitated, trying to speak to that back. I can't see the look on his face, but I can see Logan's body has never been more nervous. Once, even when he fought the English Spirit, he rolled so much power that Logan was uplifting his magic.

"Let's go......!

The low, roaring voice color is serious itself.

"Whoa, whoa!

With the mood of tearing, Logan stretches out his arms...

And I touched the shoulder of the young girl who was ahead of me a little bit. At that moment, the curse hidden in her strips its vicious fangs.

"In my lifetime, no remorse...!

Logan's body quickly ashed into a mighty magical running stream.

"... what are you doing..."

Logan died trying to touch Leticia.

Asking Marie, who was watching beside her, she replied so, gathering pale ashes. Leticia is Oul's eighth daughter, who turned five this year. She doesn't know what happened, she's decent.

"Logan, where have you been?

"I'm just home for a little while."

"You're not coming back...?

There was tears in Leticia's eyes.

"That's not true, he said he'll be right back."

"But..."

Her gaze was poured into the ashes in Marie's hands. Even though he is still young, he has a high level of education under the protection of the Demon King. I already had enough power to understand to live and die. There is nothing that can be ashed and lived, and Logan is actually dead.

However, it is the devil who is easily resurrected from it. Their body exists in the demonic realm, and it is only its manifestation that comes to this world. Logan also destroyed himself easily because he could resurrect as many times as he could if summoned again.

Nevertheless, it also takes a lot of work to re-summon the devil about Logan. If you're going to call it normal, you have to take a fair amount of time to prepare.

"I can't help it anymore."

Lil sighed and stroked Leticia's head, kneeling and gazing at her.

"Letty, don't worry. 'Cause I'll bring you right back."

"Really?"

"No, Lil, don't spoil it too much."

Leticia shining her eyes and Logan turning to ash. With all its implications for both, Marie said so.

"You used to cry because you thought Logan was dead."

"Ugh..."

I laughed at Niyanya and pointed her out, and Marie mumbled like a bump.

"For now, I'm bringing that idiot back."

Lil quickly draws a magic formation on the ground, where he enters through magic. Not only does it connect the way with the magic realm, but it is also a magic formation to prevent backflow. I pave the way poorly, and I have trouble with the devil coming up in big numbers.

"Call me in about 10 minutes. Marie, you can do this, right?

"Yeah, okay"

Marie also learns simple magic from Oulu. The demon summons is inherently dangerous if not done by a skilled magician with great care, but if the demon of the moment cooperates fully, she has no problem with the apprenticeship level.

"Okay, I'll be there."

Lil let his body sink into the darkness, as if diving into the water.

"... ugh"

Returning to the entity for the first time in a long time, Lil moves his body around.

The demonic world is a much worse landscaped world than the one inhabited by humans. Because there is no creature in this world other than the devil. Things always remain intact and unchanged. In their tiredness, the devils spend their days recklessly, and occasionally when they are called to man, they gain magic and soul.

"Mm-hmm. This way."

Logan's power is strong, so we'll see soon enough. Once again on the way with wings, the big red devil was quickly found.

"Oops. You picked me up on purpose"

"Letty started crying because of you."

"Oops, that's a bad thing I did!

"You look happy, you..."

Lil slams on Logan, who plays his voice with a full grin.

"Well, you do. Letty, seriously, angel! Hey, the little girl is the best."

"You're gonna grow up soon anyway."

"Wow. Er. Isn't that nice?"

In a slightly irritating voice color, Logan waved his fingers at Chichi to try and amplify Lil's irritability significantly.

"A flash of brilliance. Innocent soul that encloses dirt but doesn't know it. Really, Soru."

"... if I found out about the dirt, I wouldn't need it anymore."

Is it because of that frustration, or because of the argument with Oulu? It was unusual for Lil to say that if he realized it, he would have such a guess.

"Ah? What does that mean?

"Nothing. I just thought so"

"Are you kidding me, I..."

Anger is also revealed, Logan shouts his claims.

"Bitch Toddler Girl...... I think that's it!

"Die!

Lil's right straight was released straight.

"That's it. You want to talk about Marie, right?

"Well... yeah"

That's what Logan asks again, taking it flat in his hand. He is almost always a joke in this world, but only Lil rarely took seriously, but he existed.

"Don't be with half the things like you, who the hell do you think I am? Human beings are nothing but food for the devil. I'm not interested in Baba over thirteen."

"... but why do you care about Marie?"

Or is that just a fiction, just like a joke attitude? That's what Lil asked, Logan clouding his mouth abruptly.

"Well... that's, uh, that's me. She was so cute when she was a kid, so if she had a baby, her daughter would most likely be a beautiful little girl, too, right? So, well, that's about it..."

"What. After all, I don't care."

"Ugh! Don't push me crazy!

To Couscous and Laughing Lil, Logan yells in four arms.

"... look, I'm telling you this is for you too."

"For me?

"Oh. Well, I've known you a long time..."

They are long-lived demons, but their nature is chaotic, so they rarely hang out with each other for a long time. Like Lil and the others, they've been called by the same magicians for ten years, and it's very rare to get along with each other. That's why there was something like a little fellowship between them.

"That's how it feels.... you don't know."

What has he spent thousands of years thinking? Logan continues in an extremely serious tone to Lil, who thinks so.

"I mean... you'd rather be a shottacon than get into a grandpa like that too"

"Who will!

Lil's shaped legs drew a beautiful curve, and now she entered Logan's jaw beautifully.

At that time, the rind sounds and Lil looks up.

"Look, Marie's calling. Don't be silly. I'm just leaving."

"Heck... hey, that hole, isn't it small for me to go through?

"Even you're eating magic, and I'm glad you're bothering me. Drop that arm and come through."

"Hiya!?

Lil gently slips herself into a hollow hole. Wondering what was going on, Logan put his hand in the abyss...

"Wait! This isn't Marie's hole!

And I screamed.

"Huh?"

A stringy magic force intertwines with Lil's body, which speaks with a pompous expression.

"Liar, what is this..."

"Damn it! Lil!

Even as Logan reaches for his arm, Lil's body is pulled at a tremendous rate and cannot reach it. And right in front of him, the hole disappeared so that it could play properly.

"Lil was stripped?

"Oh, that might suck a little"

Immediately afterwards, Logan returned from Marie's open summons to the present world, reporting yes to Oulu.

"I've never heard of witchcraft that fishes the devil. Besides, thank you. I went to the main unit."

The summons of the devil is not enforceable in calling itself. Using magic as bait to summon you to capture where you came from in this world with magic formations. It is a common way to negotiate afterwards and pay and serve the price I said soul, blood, and magic.

Low-place demons… For example, if they are of a kind that does not possess a great deal of intelligence, such as Imp or Black Dog, they can also be forced to serve with magic. But with very few exceptions, it is no longer possible for a concurrent magician to be of the rank of a lil. Sacubas is not such a high-ranking demon, but there is so much difference in power between demons and humans.

Whether you cannot manipulate a boulder or simply summon it forcefully, it is a force that goes far beyond the scope of "concurrent magicians". It is not an optimistic situation for Oulu to live in the demonic realm.

"So?"

Ouls low and low, voices out. It was quite an interesting sight for him to be wolfish and angry, which usually seemed great.

"You didn't just come back to congratulate me, did you?

but that's also a story if that spearhead isn't pointing at itself.

"No way, calm down, sir."

Logan spreads his arms to hold him still as he twists and retreats.

"I'm striking my hands right.... literally."

His upper right arm had a neat tip cut off from his wrist.

"... you call me a lot nicer..."

Lil was rolling into the center of a strange room somewhere.

"I'm sorry I imitated you so rough"

Standing in front of her and thanking her for her grace is a man around twenty. I don't know if that matches my actual age because there are examples of Oulu, but I had the charm of inadvertently trusting a slender, tall face and a grin that floated briskly.

But it's obvious from the current state of Lil that you can't guess at all. The ground is painted with intricate texts, and the rising wall of light separates the lil from the man. Not only that, but the magic formation seemed to take away her power and render it unusable.

As she glanced at the man standing in front of her, she stood up with both legs relaxed. Even the power to resist gravity was sealed, and now Lil is little different from his human daughter.

"My name is Marcto. Nice to meet you."

"I don't care what your name is."

Lil truncated him so, naming him so with a voice of goods and gracefully thanking him.

"What can I do for you? I just want you to go home."

"I just wanted to enjoy the conversation a little bit if I could, but I can't help it."

Marcto, kneeling on the spot, looks up at Lil in a knightly manner that serves your lady.

"I want you to be mine"

"... what?

To unexpected words, Lil accidentally raised her voice as if she had fallen in love.

"The first time I saw you was 10 years ago. You, taken by the evil sorcerer Oulu, are poor and beautiful, and I was deprived of this heart at a glance."

Markt's gaze at Lil is sincere everywhere.

Demons are sensitive to lies. If you're not so cleverly lying, or even acting enough to fool yourself, you'll soon uncover it. But even from Lil's eyes like that, he seemed to mean it.

"And after you, I knew the inside...... I was there, too, attracted. Not only did you look beautiful, but the way your heart was.... you are not just a demon. It seems so to me."

Trouble is, Markt is right. Regardless of the beauty of the heart, lil with memories of the past life, when he was a person, is not just a demon in every sense.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse. You're not my type at all."

When Lil was so clear, for some reason Marcto smiled happily.

"Good. Sex demons don't fall in love, they don't say they can't deal with humans."

There was no way I could say that. Lil can't return words, he just pushes silence.

"Then you still mean I have a chance, too. See you tomorrow."

So when he turned his heel back, Marcto left the room.

Lil sits down sighing in a glowing little junction.

"My husband's pretty good, but he's wearing a wheel."

And I shook my body frightened by the wild voice I heard suddenly from behind.

"Logan!?

"Ooh."

It's the four-armed demon on the red body... Logan who shows himself out of Lil's shadow. But the figure was so small, it was big enough to get on the flat of Lil's hand.

"What's the matter, you're shrinking so much"

"At that time, I only severed the tip of my arm and created a split body. Don't just let your husband mess with you if he takes you with him."

"Uh... oul, that's pretty worrying."

Cheeks, they're loose.

That's what Logan pointed out to Lil, who strives to behave calmly. After she groans, she makes a tannic surface to keep both cheeks down.

"Well anyway. Before my husband destroys me over there, let me break this line with that sorcerer's demands."

said Logan as he fisted Concon and the glowing wall. Even though it's mini-sized, his ability to be influenced by the juncture, just like Lil's, is now to the degree of reciprocity with the young Leticia, and is not a direct help.

"That way, I know where we are. If you know what I mean, it's this way. Whether or not the metastatic junction is tightened, the young lady of Eunice arrives softly and ends with a spatter around his neck. It's gonna be easy."

"Well... yes..."

The English Spirit Eunice is strong. Not to mention the cowardly and spontaneous ability to transfer, but the arms of that sword go hand in hand, and there is little that even the sorcerer, rather than the devil, can beat her. Even if that magician named Marcto had some heart in his arms, the battle probably ends in an instant.

"But I don't like being his even for a second."

"Hey, that's not what I'm talking about. Well, I don't know how it feels."

Satan to that effect of chaos hates being bound to others. It's a price to pay for being used by magicians. The order to become human is unacceptable.

"Well, I am."

Of course, there were other circumstances in Lil's case.

As the sun slowly burns red, it sets to the end of the earth. Instead of the light of the day falling from the window, the magic flows through the ceiling and the lights blink. Eunice gently closed the curtain, being careful not to disturb Oulu and Spina from silently glancing through the paper bundle.

"... don't you know where Lil is yet"

Without even hiding his frustration, Oul throws a sharp voice at Logan.

"Calm down. Probably trapped in a junction or something. I'll let you know as soon as I hear from you."

"You say you're still trapped in the juncture?

Stopping his hand from turning a massive bunch of paper, Oulu turned his gaze to Logan.

"It won't take hours to make a deal with the devil."

"... if you say so, you sure do"

"I mean, maybe Lil's rejecting the contract."

Oul spins his words as he stands in his chair and walks through the room. It's his habit when he sums up thoughts.

"There are two possible reasons… one is that it is detrimental to me. If you're after Lil, you're most likely after this labyrinth, or my life."

"Kill Oulu," he said, "there's no way Lil would understand."

To Eunice, who somewhere proudly said, Oulu dared not agree, putting up a second finger.

"The other is unreasonable content… for example, if it was something that would completely bind its existence. And I'm staring at this one as more likely."

"Why?

Whether there's a somewhat special part to it or not, Lil is, after all, just a succubus with no very strong magic either. Not sure of the need to rule her like that, Spina tilts her neck and asks her teacher.

"Because where Lil did it to his opponent, it didn't do him much harm"

And when they said almost exactly what they had in mind, they raised more question marks.

"Honestly, Lil, there's nothing wrong with where one of us turned to our enemies. I know I may be emotionally resistant, but it would be better if you just signed the contract."

"Oh well, I see..."

"I'm telling you, when you're in the same situation, don't ever sign a contract."

Oul gives the nail to Eunice, who snorts deeply as Convinced said. Unlike Lil, Eunice could destroy this one by herself if she turned to the enemy.

"But even if you completely manipulate Lil, what are you going to let him do?

"We can do as many as we want. The devil can't break his contract. If I tell you to die, you have to die. Take it hostage, or you can send it back here with a face that won't eat and let it guide you from the inside."

When Oulu told me that I would, a strange silence came.

"You still think of all the eggy hands, nah"

Eunice imitates Lil's voice, shrugging her shoulders. Lil's role in getting stuck in an owl at a time like this.

"Let's definitely help, Oul"

"Whatever."

Nodding at the uninspiring unis, Oulu begins to turn the bundle of paper at hand again. Spina also helped with it, adding a few more splits and getting back to work.

"By the way, what are you looking into?

"There is no way that a concurrent sorcerer can force a designated demon to be called. If so, they must be quite small enough to know their first name. I'm looking for something like that."

Oulu answers Logan as he sorts countless bundles of paper. Written on paper are complex encrypted magic letters that cannot be read unless they are Oulu and Spina.

"Is that what this is about?"

"Naturally. Information is fundamental to the battle. Sorcerers on this continent cover everything from the famous to the unknown Sorcerer's Apprentice on the Border."

"... are you serious?"

A bunch of paper piled high as a mountain is all magician information. Logan was impressed by the fact that he often looked up magicians who tend to keep their knowledge secret.

"... among other things, those who seem to be able to do such arts and crafts are around here. To the" Night Darkness "noctus, the" Long Arms "brachium. And" Shadow Crossing "Hasta."

All are well-known magicians as summoners. But Hasta is somewhat of a magician who specializes in his own metastasis, and Brachium is in a style of fighting with matter on hand in reverse. Noctis has a commonly used but uneven personality and has a very different impression of witchcraft that strips the devil at pinpoint.

"Master, what's this one?

Spina picked up a piece of paper and asked. What is stated there is closest to the information you are looking for. A man who is a brilliant demon summoner and obtains elaborate sorcery.

"This is old information.... There would be a line drawn in red ink on the name. I know about this guy."

But Oul shook his head to the side.

"-Marct. He died a long time ago, a summoner."

"Good morning. How are you feeling?

"Morning, nothing. I don't know what time it is in a room without these windows."

"I'm sorry about that. But I can't put a window on this room..."

Lil thinks as he turns that away from Marcto, who apologizes for looking so sorry. The fact that you can't put a window on it still means that this place is underground.

"So, are you in the mood to get out of there?

"If you're going to let me out, though I'll leave as much as I want?

"If you can live up to my love,"

Though careful not to distort his expression to a man who speaks with no shyness of love, etc., Lil made a light.

"That's it... a little more, you can't handle the terms?

"And what do you say?

"I'm in trouble when all of a sudden you tell me to be my own. Because I don't know anything about you."

Sending a stream with a horny demonic luster, Lil whispers sweetly.

"You just need to know a little bit about it."

"Though you may think so, man's time is shorter than ours. By the time I liked him, I didn't know he was a shitty grandpa."

Speak for yourself. Lil only cruised a little,

"I'm in trouble."

Modestly, that's what I said.

"Besides, I'm so bored and cramped to be in such a small circle. Hey, I'll listen to anything you say. So get me out of here. If you're going to get tied up, you better get on the bed."

"Listen to anything I say...... is it true?

Marcto asks Lil that, showing her a slightly troubled sleigh.

"Yeah. I promise. I'll definitely listen to you."

Surprisingly, it's chocolate. Lil giggled inside. A contract to say what you listen to is the devil's usual means, and it's just a matter of literally listening to what they're saying.

"Okay. Then with that covenant… let's break the line."

The wall of light is taken away. No, Lil attacked him with his hands claws stretched out like swords.

Three pairs of red nails, left and right, nearly pierced Markt's neck, but stopped perfectly. Because Markt's mouth is moving and he's whining about something small. By contract, Lil must try to hear it.

To unexpected events, Lil ran his eyes into his own shadow for a moment.

"If you're expecting this little devil, it's no use."

Soon Logan was in Markt's hands. He grins deeply and deeply, squeezing it together. Bounce. The flying meat mass disappeared as a particle of rustle and darkness.

"Logan......!

"I'm sorry, but the junction made me double strained. Your power remains intact... but as you requested, it's no longer cramped, is it?

Marcto grabbed her arm all the way as he snapped Lil's nails from the middle. Lil tried to wave reflexively, but his hand, which he could hold as if it were all-powerful, was frightening. No matter how much Lil's abilities were being lost, that grip had made the sorcerer... no, it was beyond the realm of man.

"Finally, we also have a bed. As you wish."

As it is, Marcto pulls Lil's body all the way down, pushing her down on the prepared bed at some point.

"... what is it, you are"

"I told you, didn't I? Lil, he loves you."

Smiling at the low roaring lil, Marcto is covered over her body.

"... I'm gonna eat too much."

I didn't even hide my disgust, and that's what Lil said in the end.

"Please don't lick the succubus. They sealed the magic, and even the lower mouth could put enough pressure to cut your fingers a thousand times per bone."

Lil looked so awesome as he rattled his teeth.

"... okay"

Marcto leaves the lil, even as he clasps his face.

"But don't forget. No more help. I will make sure you show it to me."

Yes. Leave him, he left the room again. The door sounds locked with Gachan.

"Leaving means that the boundaries are wider than this room..."

Connections are not freely accessible. If you go in and out, that junction will lose its boundaries and collapse away. That means that now, like Lil, Marcto is in that juncture.

I have to do something on my own more than Logan is dead and I can no longer expect help. That useless, cursing in his heart, Lil began to act.
