What is the devil... Reis?
I just floated from his alias "The Devil's Knight," Lore, but when I saw how you were doing, I said, "You're too evil in character. You're a real demon! It doesn't seem to have the same meaning as used in a" like. "
When I answered honestly, "Somehow, all I know is that you're bad," Lore nodded with a strange face.
"I am unfamiliar in this country. Many human beings born and raised in our Knurf kingdom, under the patronage of the Spirit Queen, will not know well. Often, this land under the Queen's protection does not send demons. I was wondering if even the people involved in the Church were few with ambiguous perceptions of the devil. But just as the Spirit exists, so does the real devil."
"Sure... it's not weird to be here,"
"The devil is opposite to the clean Spirit leaning against a man's heart, which confounds and plunges him. Instead of making contracts with humans at random and lending them power beyond people's knowledge, they demand consideration to strengthen their own power. … and the man who covenanted with the devil and dwelt within him is called the 'devil possessed'"
"Yawning..."
To unfamiliar words, I blink repeatedly.
What the devil asks for as consideration, he says, also changes the terms of the 'payment' depending on the contract, but any of the five senses, such as sight and hearing, parts of the body, such as life, arms and feet… were all things that made me feel bad just listening.
In fact, the Church also says that some spiritually powerful apostles receive special training and sometimes go out of the country to take on devilishness. Do you think spiritual power is a power that can counter demons as well?
I had no idea about that.
"I'm not talking publicly. Only this time, I revealed to Master Sulia about the devil for a reason. A series of cases of spiritual use missing… it was determined to be a demonic entanglement"
"Huh?"
I don't think there's going to be a story here about the case, and I'm moving. Lore, you determined that the killer was a demon-possessed person.
But, Lore, that would be strange if you followed your description.
"It's been happening in this country since this month, right? Isn't the devil supposed to stay away from this country where the power of the Spirit Queen works?
"Normally, yes. There are two factors that can make you like the devil so far."
Stand up your finger that leaves you still young round, Lore, you speak.
"One is expected to be because 'demon users' are involved"
"You've got another new word... what demon user?
"I'm more of a demon than a demon, able to freely follow many demons. They can only count, but they can possess demons to people other than themselves. If you contract with the devil alone, the contract is often incomplete, but when the devil user intervenes between them, it is possible to forcefully exchange finer contracts. Humans made 'demon-possessed' by demon users assimilate beautifully with demons. Therefore, the signs of the devil are disputed by the signs of the human being, the contractor."
I see... so you scratch the Spirit Queen's eyes.
They say the more complete the assimilation, the harder it will be to determine if you are a demon-possessed person. It's just that the devil basically obeys his contract, but if he's cautious, he also tries to take over the contractor's consciousness and body. If assimilation progresses, it will also become more dangerous.
Lore, you have a bitter look on that neutral face.
"With as much spiritual power as your uncle, you may find a demonic possession of assimilation just at first glance... but I still can't. If you were around, you probably wouldn't notice."
"Dear uncle...?
"Oh, oh! Sorry! I hadn't told Master Surya yet, but...!
"I never intentionally hid it......" he prefaced, Lore, you made your residence right on the cushion. The sound of his robe rubbing against his ears, either because Wal is sleeping in hiding or in a quiet room with no noise.
"Uncle means Gaudi-Fins, the Chief Apostle, who has yet to meet with Master Surya"
"Fins..."
"Yes.... Actually, I am the grandson of the Chief Apostle"
"Really!?
This one was a more familiar surprise to me than a story without the clap of a demon or anything.
Then I also know that you, Lore, worked in the church at that young age and were promoted to the caregiver of Princess Spirit. No, of course you have strength.
Lore, you said, "I accidentally called you Uncle...... No, it's nothing to blame...... embarrassing," she leaned slightly dyed her cheeks.
Is it like calling your mother?
Whatever, I felt a little relieved and healed between stories that made me feel heavier.
"Uncle...... eh, if you are not as helpful as the Chief Apostle or even the Spirit is so sensitive, the demonic possession of assimilation cannot be discerned by the signs alone. However, demon possession also has its characteristics."
"Like what?"
"There's a 'seal of contract' with the devil on my chest. It's an upside down, black butterfly mark."
The black butterfly is the devil's charm, Lore said.
Speaking of which, Leon, the pharmacist, was whining that the black butterfly was something... From that, it also appears that the missing persons case was determined to be demon-entangled.
"And because demon possession has demon 'chi' flowing through his body...... his temperature is very cold. There is no temperature in the devil."
Lore, you drop your gaze on your own palm. Because of this, demonic possessions usually hide their hands by unnatural means, such as gloves, or extremely avoid contact with people.
Cold body temperature.
Black butterfly on the chest.
Avoid contact with people.
Doc, and the heart pulses in the unpleasant wind. Lore in my head. I get drunk with such disgust that a lot of the words I hear from you are cluttered and crazy, but only part of it is stuck and unclear.
Almost there, even though I'm going to notice something... if I do, I don't think I should.
My brain stays sumptuous, my thoughts slowly dull.
"The second factor is...... hey, are you okay!? Dear Sulia!
"Huh...?
"I'm pale! I was wondering if you would feel bad if we talked about this once and for all... short notice. The rest will be another opportunity and I will leave now......!
"Hey, wait a minute!
Standing up, rushing out to thank you, Lore, I hold you back.
Another opportunity, I don't know when. I also threw away the hook I remembered and grabbed Lore's hand with momentum.
