The Baby Who Raised the Devil

You are a strange person (3)

After finishing the conversation with Duke, Johann left. That afternoon was very quiet.

Soon, the silence was lost due to the footsteps of a certain girl.

When Johann turned around, Leblaine grabbed his shirt.

"What?"

"Hmmm……"

Johann asked when he saw Leblaine following him.

"I can hear you following me."

"That's not true!"

"Then?"

“....actually, you are right.”

Leblaine pout.

“I never meant to bother you. I just want to know if I can get some of what you have, do you agree with that.”

He said in a calm voice.

'What's the aim?'

If the child wants something, the father will give everything. Besides, there's Henry and Isaac. He doesn't have to come alone to get something.

While he was pondering, Leblaine glanced at him.

At this point, he was really curious.

What does she want?

"Nails or hair."

"……What?"

***

He looks very confused.

Nails or hair……

If anyone hears it, they'll think I'll curse it.

But I really need them. Because it was a medium to get some of Johann's mana.

Pymon, of all things, still uses the ancient way of using magic!

I showed Dad, Henry, and Isaac's hair to Pymon. But it was impossible for them because Johann's strength was the purest.

“Why my hair or nails? Are you going to curse me?”

“Not that.you'll be going to the academy soon, right? Since you've been attacked so many times, how about I make a protection spell so that it doesn't happen this time?”

I was blurting out the excuses I had prepared earlier. I couldn't say it sooner because I was so nervous.

"I can do it if I have your nails or your hair!"

It's a myth, but it doesn't matter.

'I'm just a kid, so I can do something like this.'

Johan said nothing.

"What?!"

Suddenly, I could hear Isaac's voice from behind me.

He came running quickly, grabbed my hand and frowned. Henry did what Isaac did.

“Why is the child with you? Are you bullying her again?”

"You don't have to watch her."

As Henry and Isaac spoke, Johann's eyebrows shot up.

I was confused and pulled both of their sleeves together.

"No. He never bothered me. I came to him myself!”

"Bocil, why did you do it?"

"You don't have to worry about him, Leblaine."

I mean, it's not that.

"No-no"

I was just about to say something when Johann turned around. Without saying anything, he walked away from us.

I hit my leg.

“Not it! I'm chasing Johann myself!”

"……really?"

Isaac asked and Henry said nothing.

Henry gently grabbed my shoulder and he lowered himself to reach my eyes.

"I told you. He's a dangerous man, so never be alone with him.”

I nodded and looked at them.

"Leblain?"

"Johann doesn't look like a bad guy."

"Bocil, my brother is so heartless—!"

“When I went to the drama with my waitress last year, everyone cried because they were sad, but I didn't cry. So, am I the bad guy? ”Isaac panicked and shouted,

"That'S……!"

“You don't need to see the documents today, do you? That's why you have time to read.”

"……It's really, really."

“You don't have to train knights, do you? So you want to eat snacks with me. ”

"Yes." Yeah."

"Johann did your job for you."

“……”

“……”

I shook Henry and Isaac's hands.

***

When I returned to my room, I saw a long-haired girl.

“My snack....”.

“I can't feel anything.”

"But why did you eat it all?"

“Yeah, it's free. And I'm bored.”

There are some limitations that the devil has. One, he can't be more than a kilometer away from me, one can also see the devil if I'm not in good shape.

'I should hurry up and send him back before I go to the capital.'

I thought so and picked up the envelope I kept under my bed. It was a letter to Seria.

[After Adolf, one of the 21 pastors, was executed, the church did not undertake any extreme movement. They have been looking for a way to restore the honor of those who have fallen. Etwal, an important symbol of the church was displayed for days.].

'I've never seen Etwal put on display in my past life.'

It was urgent enough to bring out the sacred objects in the myth to win over the disillusioned believers.

I checked the image of Etwal the church sent by Seria.

'Huh?'

I frowned in surprise.

"What's……"

"What the hell is going on?"

"It's weird."

Pymon approached me and checked the picture.

“Etwal?”

"Do you know that?"

"Of course."

"really so. It's Etwal, but it's a little different than I know.”

"Why?"

“Etwal, which was originally stored in the church has gems embedded in every corner of it but not here.”

I saw it clearly.

When Mina had a church, I could see jewels in every corner of etwal.

I took out my Etwalku necklace and showed it to Pymon.

'There are no jewels in it like mine.'

Pymon sat across from me and placed his hand on his chin.

"No wonder, there is no power so there are no gems."

"What does that mean?"

“Etwal was originally a sacred object to keep power. It's like a warehouse, for example.”

I opened my eyes wide.

"Is it something to store magic or holy power?"

“I mean real soul. Even demonic powers and you have authority over them.”

The pymon points to a small groove at each corner of the hexagonal etch.

“You save the power here. So you can take it out whenever you need it. ”

I opened my eyes wide to hear that.

There are six lines in total. Does that mean I can have six powers?

“Wait, so that means I can also save the power of Devils?!”

“Of course, but creatures like us cannot be saved without our consent.”

"Is that so?"

“But, the owner will not be able to hold us. Didn't you run out of holy power to borrow our strength?”

“Then usually what is it?”

“Man soul. However, this is not something that humans can do. There is no choice but to obtain a soul with a higher existence like the devil.”

I frowned and looked at Pymon.

“Is there any way I can keep summoning demons to finish etwal?”

The corner of Pymon's lips rises.

[I can answer questions only after you qualify.]

That's why Boone says I don't qualify without Etwal.

I rolled up my sleeve.

'Mina also completed etwal.'

And Mina, who finished etwal, became a strong person that even the pope could not easily offend.

If I finish etwal before Mina ...

'I can become the strongest person on the continent and make Dubbled an independent family.'

My heart's shaking.

Pymon looked at me and coughed loudly.

If I finish etwal before Mina ...

"Yes!"

“……”

For some reason, Pymon became a little moody.

'I envy Pymon's ability, but it's hard to keep him.'

I only had six chances. I have to create resources that will benefit me.

I immediately contacted Seria.

[Yes, little lady.]

“Gather information about who sells special gems and minerals here. Buy as much as you can. ”

[Some people may offer prices you can't imagine for special gems and minerals.]

“That's no problem.”

I still have the highest hopes of making a lot of money for me.

"Again, I've been making a lot of money lately."

***

That night, I snuck into Johann's room.

It seemed as if Johann had not returned from training, the room was very quiet.

"I'm gonna grab her hair before she comes back."

It wouldn't be as much as Pymon wanted, but there was no other way.

[I think I'll be back after a year.]

Pymon became sarcastic again.

I carefully opened the door of the room, and slowly crawled to his bed.

“Set!”

There was someone on the couch by the bed.

I was surprised that I didn't move at all.

But it's weird.

His body looks like a human, but why is there no response?

'Pymon, if anything happens to me, attack immediately.'

I carefully headed to the sofa.

“Johan!”

It was Johann who was lying on the sofa with a pale face. It's serious if Johann, who is usually quick to notice any presence, does nothing even after I enter.

"Control yourself! Oh my God, doctor!”

Johann grabbed my wrist just as I was about to rush out.

“Wait. This poison....can be purified in a week.”.

"But……!"

“I am the eldest son. If my body is damaged...the enemy will move.”.

It has to be that.

The reason why followers do not have different opinions is because Johann is very capable and handles everything himself.

'Cannot be……'

I took a closer look at Johann's condition.

Since I have been trained in the church for two lives, I can recognize illness.

"Dogs Blooming."

This was a poison often used by mercenaries.

“When they attacked at the border, you were exposed to poison right? So you came to rest in Dubbled under the pretext of escape.”

“……”

"Have you held it?"

“Do not disturb me....”.

"Stupid!"

I screamed at him.

Oh my God, what a fool!

Everyone said that if he was inhumane and did not appreciate anything, even his younger siblings did not know what he was like, he brought a lot of things alone.

I was so upset with Johann that my eyes kept blurring.

When I saw him, Johann looked at me very gently.
