The Devil Who Grants Wishes

“Ummm…”

‘…He eats really well.’

My culinary skills aren’t good, but it doesn’t seem like it’s because it’s just a soft bread sandwich with ingredients. In the early days, whenever I made baby food, I was really moved by the thought of throwing away a few because I couldn’t control the water and fire.

I wonder if it would be okay to just feed the child a sandwich, but… Well, the sandwich contains all the nutrients, including the burnt jar, so it’ll be fine. Health food, health food.

And the ingredients such as bread, meat, and vegetables used in the sandwich are always of the highest quality, so the taste will be excellent.

Of course, if you keep feeding the same things, you have to feed them as many as there is no fun in life… Um, the food sold on the street isn’t made with children’s eating in mind, so I’ll have to hire a chef or make my own- Write.

‘What, why so fast?’

Thinking about what to do, I looked at the leaves I had pasted on my palms to measure the time.

Since I put it on my skin, it must have been affected more by my magical powers, but even so, this would put a lot of pressure on the people around me.

It’s only been an hour since I’ve been home, but just a little longer… No, I may have to move again if I stay home, so I’ll have to go soon.

“Don’t come back in two hours.”

“In addition…?”

“I’m sorry, Lucia will get sick if she stays for a long time.”

After all, this place will have to be thrown away after a few years and moved to another place, but why not use it for as long as possible?

Moving too often when you are young is bad for your child’s emotional development.

…Leaving a child alone is of course not good for emotional development, but it can’t be helped. If I stay by your side, it’s not about emotional development, it’s about life.

‘No. Shall we find a friend of our age or a nanny?’

Obviously this looks better. He leaves only once or twice, but every two hours he only stays for one hour, so Lucia can’t grow properly.

Hiring a nanny to build intimacy for me… Oh, but the place of residence is a bit vague.

We have no choice but to move and live in sparsely populated places, and there will be no nanny to follow us. I could use a nanny slave, but I can’t because I’m nervous about letting a slave take care of Lucia.

Above all, I am the devil, so no nanny would want to be hired by me. Of course, there are nannies that can be used without revealing their appearance, but they are usually only used by those who have a back, so they are equally anxious as entrusting them to slaves.

Yeah, I’d rather brainwash the nanny… Not even this, what the hell are you thinking?

I’m a demon in body, not a demon in mind.

Then the rest is…

“Lucia, are you lonely?”

“Yeah… don’t go…”

“…Lucia is human, so it would be better if she grew up with human hands. I’ll find a house in the city, so hire a nanny—”

“no!!”

After I found a house in the city, I hired a nanny to raise Lucia, and I was going to go back and forth as long as the city wasn’t eroded by my magic, but it seems like this won’t work either.

I’ve never seen Lucia hate it so much.

“I, it doesn’t hurt… because it doesn’t hurt…”

“…I’m sorry, I made a mistake.”

“Then will you continue to live together?!”

Lucia, who had died when she apologized, regains her vitality as if she had always been.

Even if I can see the other person’s feelings right away, Lucia is really genuinely happy.

“Yeah, but Lucia will get sick if I stay by her side, so it’s unavoidable to have to stay apart at regular intervals.”

“Can’t we just stay together all the time?”

“no.”

Unfortunately, this cannot be conceded.

If I keep staying by Lucia’s side, it’s not enough for Lucia to be lost again, and she’ll be completely eroded by the devil’s magic, right?

The red eyes still haven’t returned to their original state, but something really bad could happen.

“I’m not really sick…”

“I’m sorry. I’ll be back in two hours, so please be quiet in the meantime.”

It was not enough for the leaves that had been attached to the palms to dry out, so they completely rotted and crumbled.

It’s dangerous if there’s anything more than this, so I need to leave immediately.

…By the way, obviously, when I lived in Montpelio, my mana release wasn’t this strong, but now, why did I get so strong? Is something wrong with the priests?

“Oh, Dad… I don’t really get sick. Even if you’re with me, it doesn’t hurt… Don’t go…”

…I’m sorry.

If you were in Korea, you’re old enough to play with your friends in kindergarten, and you have to stay at home alone.

Would you rather adopt another child of the same age? It’ll be a little harder for me, but it’s better than Lucia being lonely.

yes, this would be better

“Lucia, what’s good about having a brother?”

“sibling…?”

“Yeah, tell me if you like your brother or your sister, if you like your brother or your sister. You’re so lonely.”

There is a feeling of using another life to relieve Lucia’s loneliness, but… Well, originally, parents often make younger siblings to appease their children’s loneliness, right?

Wouldn’t this be considered as such?

It will definitely be a great help to Lucia as well as the child who will grow up in an orphanage alone.

“…no.”

‘Eh?’

But despite my expectations, Lucia’s reaction changed dramatically in an instant.

Lucia, who until recently had been sincerely sad and begged me not to leave, is showing a cold reaction as if she had always done so. All kinds of negative emotions are emanating from Lucia.

Not only that.

The eyes that used to be dyed red are now even shining.

Uh… um…

“I’d rather have animals. Yeah, dogs… No, I like cats.”

“…Yeah, I got it.”

First of all… I don’t like Lucia, but I can’t help it.

I need to adopt a cat or something.

………….

If I stay longer, my magic will cause problems, and Lucia hastened and strongly demanded that I bring the cat home, so I left the house and headed for the city.

If I keep going to the same city, people in the city may suffer because of me, like in Montpelio, so I am only going to a new city as much as possible.

“Uncle, give me a yakitori. It’s 25 lira here.”

“Let’s see… Hmm, for this fabric, 2 gold 470 li would be enough.”

“Yes? Isn’t it too cheap?”

“Of course it’s cheap. It’s the most common and cheap cotton fabric, and it’s also very thin, isn’t it? It’s also generously woven.”

Hey, the atmosphere is different here again.

Montpelio was, of course, a city, so the city’s unique commerce was activated a lot, but it wasn’t up to the level of Spezia here. Unlike Montpelio, Spezia has a large and spacious port, and there are no slums due to the extreme gap between the rich and the poor, so the scenery is quite impressive.

Even in Noah, it was a place that boasted of its own city scenery as well as a prosperous commercial scene, but it is very colorful when viewed directly with the naked eye rather than through a game monitor. It feels like a trip to Europe.

‘Then where is the cat…’

buy in the market? But if it’s chicken or pig, there’s no way a cat that’s not a livestock can be sold in the market.

Hmm… Well, it’s a big city, and if you look around, you’ll find at least one place that handles cats.

Long-haired breeds have too much hair, so take them out and use short-haired breeds as much as possible— huh?

“…”

“Who are you, standing in the middle of the road like this, come on, turn on the rain…?”

Irene, who has been very indebted to me when raising money for the past few years, walks in front of me, then notices me and stutters.

What, why is he here again?

Since the Seraphia Church came, I thought he had left Montpelio early, but he must have come here.

And what is it… It’s a little awkward because we’re reuniting so quickly. There was no point in exchanging names.

“Why is Faust here…”

The awkward thing seems to be the same over there. Irene, who had just had a slight anger on her face up until now, was just panicking in embarrassment.

Hmmm, well, it went well anyway.

As for Irene, who was proficient in turning things into cash, there was probably nothing she didn’t know.

“Irene, I have something to ask you.”

“Are you going to ask…”

After I finished my words, Irene lowered her body slightly and then changed into a vigilant posture. It’s like a dog looking around and noticing.

What, you’ve been helping each other up until now, but why are you suddenly here?

You’re even afraid of me.

“…what is it? If it’s going to harm the world—”

“Where can I get a cat?”

“…yes?”

You knew what I was going to ask, so why are you saying it’s harmful to the world…?

………….

“Ahh… Awesome…”

‘I think I’m too young…’

Well, it’s okay to say that you’ve just been weaned.

Hey, it’s a black cat, it’s weird that you’re hitting me, the devil.

“Are you really… you’re just here to save the cat?”

Why are you so suspicious? Why am I trying to save a cat?

Above all, why is Irene still here?

You already paid for the route guide.

“Can’t you see it now?”

“I can see it… but why the devil…”

“Devil?”

What are you talking about, devil?

are you talking about me

No, I think I used to disguise myself every time I met Irene…? I hope I got caught- what?!

Key!

“Ahhhh!!”

At that moment, all kinds of magic suddenly poured out towards me.

Basic magic such as Fireball and Thunderbolt is basic, and all kinds of magic such as a large awl made of blood or a dark magic sphere were poured out, and these naturally caused a storm and completely ruined the surroundings.

Fortunately, the cat and Irene in my arms were protected from damage thanks to the shield, but… What the hell?

“Why… are you okay?”

As the aftermath subsided and the dust was gone, there was a goat-headed demon, sweating profusely, in great bewilderment. It is as if the attack was not expected to be blocked at all.

It’s not funny.

I should be embarrassed because I was suddenly attacked. Why is that guy panicking?
