089 – Do you want to go up to the second floor? # 1

My whole body whined.

It felt as if my body had become a gong that someone had beaten.

Astarosa of Obsession.

The destructive rays emitted from his mouth were more powerful than expected.

To be honest, I can say that it is a miracle that I am fine after being hit.

of course.

It wasn’t a real miracle.

If you look at it closely, it’s close to necessity.

However, Garot, not noticing my trick, looked me around and said,

“This devil woman’s attack just now was a desperate situation, so it’s not enough to describe it. But Judas, you have no wounds. What happened?”

“That’s right. It’s a trade secret.”

“I can feel a little trace of magic. Mana Shield… ? No, Judas. I heard you have no talent for magic. How can you get a mana shield that can block that much magic… .”

Write.

Garrot was very good at reasoning and intuition.

I can’t reveal all my resources in front of the devil right now!

“Shh-.”

I cautioned Garot.

Garrot closed his mouth as if he understood, then slowly moved his gaze to the demon lying on the floor.

“Dina.”

“… fuck. Because I am not Dina. I am one of the 3 pillars. If you are Astarosa… ?”

To show off your pride with a drooling face.

Demons were terrifying for being so arrogant and self-righteous.

Unusual obsession and loyalty towards the demon lord.

Astarosa’s obsession was especially strong.

“Mom’s stuff!”

Shuk-.

Cecily snatched the flute from Astarosa’s neck.

It was a strange flute.

It’s a flute made of real bone.

Garot widened his eyes when he saw the object, but soon returned with a calm expression and tied Astarosa’s body calmly.

“What were you trying to do with that flute?”

“… Do you think I will say just kill it.”

“No, you won’t kill me. Cecily, Judas. You guys had better cover your ears.”

ear?

Back and forth, shuck-.

Garrot took out a strange, wide plate from his pouch.

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to hit me with that? At that thought, Garot raised his nails and began scratching the plate with his nails.

Just like a cat scratching a tree!

Kiyiik, Kiyiyiik-!

“Ow, shh.”

Is it like scratching a blackboard with your fingernails!?

A really loud noise erupted from Garot’s claws!

Even I, who are accustomed to the moderate amount of noise, frowned.

“Gaaa! Aww!”

Astarosa twisted her body violently.

He struggled and suffered even more than when he was cut by Garot’s silver sword.

Is it the devil’s weakness?

“If I knew demons had this weakness, the expedition would have been easier.”

I muttered to myself with half regret and half admiration.

Then Garot stopped his hands and shook his head slowly.

“This isn’t exactly the devil’s weakness. My sister hates this kind of noise. I don’t know how it happened, but this guy seems to be both a devil and my sister.”

“yes?”

“Should I be happy that my sister is alive, even in this form? I don’t know if I should be angry that my sister became a demon. And above all… .”

Garrot’s eyes turned to Cecily’s flute.

Shuk.

Garrot soon takes out another strange item from his pouch.

It was a flute that seemed to have been made of chiseled bones.

About the size of a child’s fist.

Should I call it Ocarina?

What was curious was that it looked exactly like the flute Cecily was holding in her hand.

Two identical flutes.

Is it ready-made?

When I felt doubt, Garot spoke first.

“This is a one-of-a-kind thing. But how can there be two of them?”

Shuk-.

Garrot reached out for the flute Cecily was holding.

Cecily said, “This, this is my mother’s… !” I couldn’t stand Garot’s strength, so I ended up giving the flute to Garot.

“It’s about giving back… !”

Cecily sparred at Garot.

The way he frowned as if he was very angry is quite menacing.

However, as if Garrot didn’t care that much, he held the two flutes, one in each hand, and looked at them alternately.

Then he muttered a few more words that I couldn’t understand.

“It’s like a magnet. From the moment we get close to each other, we are attracted. It’s a pretty strong force. If I relax my hands like this, will they stick to me?”

Squeak-.

I felt the strength gradually draining from Garot’s hands.

At that moment, an amazing thing happened.

Shuk, pat-!

The bone flutes that I thought would stick together were merged into one.

Yes.

Literally put together.

No, to be precise, it would be better to say that they overlapped or overlapped.

Being merged feels like becoming bigger.

But the bone flute did not change shape or size.

It just became one from two.

“What is this… .”

Garrot, who must have seen many unbelievable sights as a demon hunter, also frowned as if he couldn’t understand this situation.

Only Cecily purred like a cat whose box had been stolen.

“Ah-! The flute my mother gave me… ! What did you do now… !”

Pot, pot-pot-.

Cecily pounded Garot with her fist.

Of course, Garrot didn’t hurt at all, but maybe it was annoying, so he grabbed Cecily by the scruff of her neck and lifted her high.

The metaphor may be strange, but it looked like a beast of the cat family biting into the scruff of the cub’s neck and lifting it up.

What was surprising was that Cecily had become quite calm, as if it had worked.

“Hey, let go of this… !”

“… … .”

Garrot lifted Cecily up to his own eye level and looked at her with disgust.

A tense situation in many ways.

“What, what is it? Why are you looking at Cecily with those eyes?”

When Cecily was feeling burdened.

Garot finally opened his lips lightly.

“You said you wanted to find your mom and dad. Dad doesn’t know, but mom seems to have found it. Cecily, you look like my daughter.”

“… under? What nonsense are you talking about?”

Cecily frowned as if she was hearing all the stars.

Soon, Cecily swept across the top and bottom of the garrot, as if thieves like me were looking at someone to rob.

“You are not aristocratic at all… ! Cecily’s mother was more elegant and full of character than anyone else… !”

Certainly, Garot’s appearance now resembles a terrifying human butcher.

It’s full of dust and smeared with demon blood.

If a woman like that says “I’m your mother,” it’s not strange if the kids doze off.

I said to ventilate the bloody atmosphere.

“Maybe Daddy is me.”

“hehehehe… !”

* * *

In the end, I couldn’t eat the tangsuyuk.

I heard that Naru ate them all.

“Naru, Brigitte and I ate sweet and sour pork together! I also had some left over for my father, but Morumoru ate it all. Morumoru, he must have been very hungry because he couldn’t eat lunch because it was the exam period.”

– Meowong.

Right.

It was very sad that I couldn’t eat the hot sweet and sour pork, but it was okay because I thought Naru had eaten it.

Does this mean you’re full even if you don’t eat?

“So, this guy is the devil captured this time? Oh my God, she really is that obsessive witch. Judas, what the hell happened?”

Nocturne’s sanctuary located in the basement of the mansion.

In that place that seemed like my secret base, Brigitte stuck out her tongue while looking at the demon Astarosa.

Astarosa was tied tightly to the ropes, but was in a state of half-mind due to the [Scratch Noise] attack from Garrot.

The information I found after the torture was as follows.

“This guy was gathering evil spirits in a closed laboratory. If you leave it as it is, it will probably become very strong. I easily overpowered him now.”

If I missed the timing and met this guy after 5 or 6 years, he would have been strong enough that it would not be strange even if casualties came out.

“Huh.”

Brigitte crossed her arms and looked at Astarosa.

Then he asked.

“What were you trying to do with all your strength?”

For that, Garot answered instead of me.

“Probably trying to resurrect Leviathan. Everyone already knows that the remains of the Death King, Leviathan, are buried deep in this continent.”

The Death King Dragon, Leviathan.

Did I mention it was a very large snake?

Brigitte frowned as I pictured a large snake in my head.

“Wasn’t that just a legend? A story of a hunter and a giant serpent that made a mountain. I thought it was just a parable or a metaphor?”

“No, not a legend. I, Garot of Iscariot, am a descendant of the hunter who hunted the serpent in the beginning. This flute is a family treasure that has been passed down since time immemorial. If you blow this, you can handle snakes.”

Piri Rani who handles snakes.

When I was still young, I was practicing the recorder late at night, and it reminded me of my mom slapping me on the back saying, “Come with the snake!”

I don’t know how snakes come out on the 16th floor of an apartment in the city center, but it seems like snakes really come out when you play the flute on the continent of Pangea… !

Garot soon added an explanation.

“It was because of this flute that Duke Astaroth was targeting our family. He was trying to destroy Leviathan, who had been resurrected by necromancy, by controlling it with this flute.”

A huge snake running amok.

It’s awful.

It was fortunate that the plan failed.

Soon, Garot looked at Astarosa, who was tied up in a rope.

“My sister died along with my mother. I buried my mother, but I couldn’t bury my sister. It was because the Duke of Magic took the body of the child.”

“A corpse?”

Brigitte asked.

Soon after, Garot sighed and replied.

“Only those who inherit the blood of hunters can handle the flute. And I think maybe my sister didn’t die that day. I’ve never seen anyone stop breathing before… .”

The younger sister, who, of course, was assumed to be dead because she was mortally wounded and captured by the devil.

Did they meet again like this?

Of course, Astarosa growled.

“You are not my sister. I am Maou-sama’s faithful servant—”

Kki-Ik, Ki-i-i-i-i-.

“Kwaaagh!”

Right.

Garot seemed to be ruthless towards the devil, even his younger brother.

Or is it because he is his younger brother that he can treat him more mercilessly?

A family is such a difficult thing—I thought.

With that feeling, the conversation ended roughly.

Once Astarosa agreed to be tied up in the basement of our mansion, and when he was on his way back to the ground, Garot opened his mouth as if he had forgotten something and spoke to Brigitte.

“I vaguely realized through this experience that space-time magic is dangerous. Looking at the two flutes merged into one, it seems that two or more identical instruments cannot exist in one era.”

is it real?

I didn’t know.

Then, even if another ‘I’, ‘Brigitte’ or ‘Garrot’ comes from the future, it means that in the end it will only come together as one.

anyway.

I headed to the drawing room of the mansion.

There, Cecily was taking an ‘additional test’ by herself.

It was because during the time we spent in the lab, Cecily couldn’t take the test alone.

Beep, beep-.

Cecily was blowing hard on the recorder.

Is it a practical test of music?

But where did the teacher go?

I think Cecily and Naru’s homeroom teacher said they were coming to supervise the extra exams.

Anyway, when the exam was over, I said to Cecily,

“So, can you believe I’m your father now?”

“… … .”

Cecily puffed out her cheeks instead of answering.

It was an expression full of displeasure.

Soon Naru-warak-hands were raised.

“Ow, shack… ! I thought they were friends, but they were sisters! Cecily was Naru’s sister! Come to think of it, Cecily was Naru’s family! Memories spring up!”

That’s right.

There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but can I just say that I solved one thing with this?

It was more difficult than I thought—— Cecily said while appreciating it.

“The last cherry blossom… .”

“what?”

“… Cecily’s dad said she should go to the place where the last cherry blossoms bloom. ASAP.”

That was the end of Cecily’s words.

Soon after, I went to play with Naru.

“It’s the last cherry blossom… . What analogy?”

what is it

Most of the cherry blossoms have already fallen.

But the answer to this was given by Enkidus.

““The last cherry blossom” is the name of the tavern. Although it is a cheap inn, it is cheap and attracts many guests. The location is on 35th Street. It’s also a pretty cool place for dancers to dance.”

“Oh, yes?”

Gotta go see it soon.

Didn’t Cecily say we had to go quickly towards the last cherry blossom?

“Hi-Hi.”

I went to the place Enkidus introduced me to.

Indeed, as he said, an inn called “The Last Cherry Blossom” stood shabbyly in the middle of a shabby alley.

It was quite tasteful that a fairly large cherry tree was planted in front of it, and it was still showing off its pink color beautifully.

I went into it.

And instead of dancing dancers there, I was able to find a familiar face.

“Are you——Judas?”

“queen?”

The female warrior queen of the Demon King Breakthrough Party.

The guy we thought betrayed us was sitting at the table drinking in broad daylight!
