Chapter 152 – Perfection

000

“This is… The manager’s room of the shop that was there earlier…”

Aruru was taken aback by the sudden transfer, but immediately released Arondite with a deep breath. Raymond, who had been fighting until just now… No, I still cared about what Remilia was talking about. The important thing now is to figure out that the others are all right, more than her. Fortunately, Iona, who seemed exhausted, and Eustes, who looked exhausted, were by her side of her. I could see that they had also gathered here after a re-war.

The reason why the transfer magic circle reactivated is simple. It was only that Cleon ordered her to gather all of her while killing Kamala, the owner of her magic circle her, and keeping her life her alive with her own black magic her. Her body her completely disintegrated and disappeared, and Kamala, who lost her heart, had to be forcibly repatriated to hell on the spot, but even that was not allowed. Seeing her rolling around in her room, her with only her head remaining, tears, runny nose and nosebleeds, Iona and Aruru, lost for a moment, looked at Cleon sitting with her back on the bed next to her.

“Cleon, you’re safe. Also, did you succeed in subduing the devil…?”

“Yes. I’m glad you guys are safe too.”

The moment Cleon said that, Eustes, who had been transferred with Iona, collapsed to the ground. The traces of black magic had disappeared from the mistiltein in his hand, but his body showed no signs of returning to its original state.

A quick glance at Iona’s condition revealed that she had simply passed out due to the side effects of moving her body her beyond her limits.

“I don’t think life is in danger.”

After hearing Iona’s words, Cleon let out a sigh of relief and picked up Kamala’s head her, which was lying on the ground. Kamala looks up at Cleon with her face flushed as she raises her voice as she ‘hhhhh’s into Cleon’s hand her gripping her own hair her.

“Okay. Now then, I need to tell you something.”

“I-I don’t like it. Even if you tell me anyway, I’ll send you back to hell…!”

Kamala broke out in a cold sweat as she resisted Cleon’s words to her. Although she knew best that her defeated self she had no choice. It was because if I spit out their secret here, there was a possibility that I would not be able to be summoned again.

Cleon stares at Kamala’s defiant head for a moment, then lets out a big sigh. Then, as if he was really sorry, he held her head with one hand, with a dark and sad expression on his face her.

“You demon, you don’t understand. Sometimes death is the greatest mercy.”

“…Yes?”

As if asking what he was talking about, Cleon continued to say to Kamala who she made a stupid noise.

“There’s a mage among my colleagues who studies ancient technology. I can’t imagine how happy she’d be to receive a gift like the head of a living demon.”

“Lila, that’s what you like…”

“Shhh…”

“Huh, huh~. I’m not afraid of modern, low-level wizards. Conversely, I can absorb the mana from that wizard, right?”

Kamala felt uneasy for a moment, but somehow she yelled at her as if trying to bluff that she wasn’t intimidated by Cleon. However, her Cleon her pushed her even more while looking at her like that.

“That guy does anything for research? He might open up your head and examine your brain. Come to think of it, there are guys at the academy who stick needles into your brain and extract information from it…”

“Brain, needle in the brain…? Open the head…? Whoa, what happened to humans!? Demons don’t do that!”

“That’s fortunate. I think I can have a fresh experience.”

Looking down at Kamala, who screamed in amazement at human cruelty(?), Cleon smiled quietly.

“Keu, keuuk… Humans who are more devilish than devils…!”

“Are you willing to answer my question a little?”

Kamala quickly rolls her head. If she answers here and she’d rather be annihilated and recalled to hell, she later plots her chance and is resummoned to Ishtal or Lilim so she can take her revenge then. He was already aware of the difference in his skills while fighting this man, so he thought that if he stored up a lot of his mana in preparation for that, he could do it somehow. So. This was in no way intimidated by this man or his comrades his, justifying himself as a brave retreat to take two steps forward.

Either that or not. Although his face was blue, and his eyes were tightly closed and he groaned, he was a sure loser.

“Ah, I see… What do you want to know…?”

In the end, Kamala uttered words close to a declaration of surrender and quietly looked up at Cleon. Seeing this, Aruru and Iona silently clapped their hands. To frighten the demons, who originally feed on human negative emotions, magical powers, and spirits, and break their will. Of course, the two of them thought that if it was Lyla, they would do anything to get information out of the demon. In any case, getting their information with this will make it easier to take further actions.

“First of all… Revert all men who have brainwashed and changed their gender, including Eustes.”

First of all, that must be the top priority. Because Eustes also came to look for them and was changed. When they return, the adventurer’s guild will return to normal.

But when Kamala heard that, she looked away and broke into a cold sweat. She hesitated to answer.

“That, I can’t…”

“…”

As Cleon looked at him with a suspicious look, Kamala closed her eyes tightly and exclaimed as if it was this fan-sappan.

“I-I’m serious! That spell was developed by Ishtal-sister, even though I know how to do it, I don’t know how to solve it…! She’s the only one who can solve it… !”

“Ishtal… It’s the half-man, half-horse succubus who is the leader of Astarote.”

At Iona’s words, Cleon nods her head.

“And, at the academy, they did some strange tricks…”

Interfering with a fight or using a seduction horse. Aruru blushed slightly as she remembered her tryst her with Cleon, but then she shook her head and looked at Kamala’s head her.

“Really?”

“I-I mean! In the name of the Lord of Hell!”

When Cleon glances at Caliburn, she momentarily transforms into light and assumes human form-the form of a beautiful girl, sitting next to Cleon and looking into Kamala’s eyes her.

Soon, he sighed and talked to Cleon with a disinterested expression.

“It’s not a lie~ I think it’s the truth~”

“Chit…”

Cleon clicked her tongue as she nodded at Caliburn’s words. Does she mean that just by capturing her, she can’t free the men she’s captivated by? .

“So. Why are you doing this? What is Astarothe’s purpose?”

When Cleon asks about it, Kamala gives out a resentful voice as if saying something has come, and then she takes a deep breath.

He carefully opened his mouth to answer his question to her.

“What Ishtar and Lily sisters are aiming for is the coming of the Demiurge ‘Sathaniel’… To that end, the source of powerful magic power. They are changing men into women in order to make the ‘perfect crystal’… “

“Wow, the perfect crystal!?”

It was Iona, who was quietly listening to the story beside her, who raised her voice in response to Kamala’s words her. She jumps up to her and grabs her face her and looks into her eyes her. Cleondo and Kamala were taken aback by her sudden action her, but the heat in her eyes her came from her desire for knowledge.

“The Crystal of Perfection is a magic source that appears very, very rarely even in ancient records! Only a few know the manufacturing technology, and if you have it, you can get magical power that is close to omnipotent…!?”

Iona talking to Kamala holding her head and shaking her head excitedly spits out her words and Kamala says ‘uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uhh’and even in her hold her, somehow replies to her.

“Hey, Iona. Calm down.”

When Cleon said, putting her hand on Iona’s shoulder her, Iona opened her eyes wide as if surprised by her behavior her, saying `Hot!?`. Then, as she cleared her throat, she moved away from Kamala and crossed her arms to talk to Cleon.

“I’m sorry. Cleon. I never thought the name of the perfect crystal would come out here…”

“If you only hear about it, all I know is that it’s a substance with enormous magical power… What does that have to do with turning a woman into a man?”

When Cleon asks Kamala, Kamala quietly continues the story with a confused look on her face her, like a child who swallowed her bitter pills.

“The Crystal of Perfection is a material made from human beings. That is, not an ordinary human being. It is made by refining and refining the soul of a union that has both male and female souls.”

“… Therefore?”

Even after hearing her explanation of her, Cleon didn’t get a very clear feeling, so if you ask him again. Iona answers instead of Kamala.

“Hmm… So to speak. By resolving the imperfections of human beings who have only one gender. It’s like a story about making crystals out of the soul with the concept of perfection. Ancient documents sometimes. Humans appeared, and such people were thought to have enormous magical potential. However, thanks to that, they were persecuted by many people and often died before being expelled…”

“Well. The truth is that the ancients secretly killed them in order to make a crystal of perfection…”

Kamala laughs at Iona’s words and speaks with a snort. Somehow, Cleon thought that the more the truth about the ancients was revealed, the more he would hate them.

“No matter what. By forcibly turning a man into a woman. A man’s self and a woman’s self. If both sides coexist or harmonize perfectly, it has been determined that a united soul can be created even artificially. That’s your contractor.” Is.”

“Yes. I nodded after hearing the story. There is no success story yet. When eroded by magic, either the male ego or the female ego. Become a woman. A lot of times it’s one of the two.”

“…Wait. To descend Demiurge. Isn’t it just a matter of activating the factor? Why do you need something like a magical power source?”

As Cleon listens to her story her, he recalls her experiences her at her academy and asks her other questions. The battle between Rail and Black was because they were aiming for the factors that Beatrix possessed rather than securing magic power for the advent of Demiurge Saklas.

“Of course, Ishtar-sister has it, but it’s only a part of it. I’m diligently looking for someone who has the rest. But the next best thing is to use the crystal’s infinite magic power to fill the missing factor.”

“In order to descend the devil, the people of the kingdom are treated like experimental animals…”

Aruru couldn’t hide his anger at the behavior of the demons playing with the people of the kingdom he had to protect. When Cleon grabs her hand her clenched into her fist her. Aruru silently released her powers from her hands and looked at her Cleon.

“It’s not like me to entrust myself to anger… But this job is a bit difficult.”

“…I know. But. If we gather information like this, we will definitely be able to stop it.”

At Cleon’s words, Aruru nodded and asked Kamala.

“Where is Ishtal? How much power do you guys have?”

“That, that… Because of the oath… “

When Cleon looked at Caliburn once again, Caliburn made a circle with his finger at Cleon. It meant telling the truth. Then, Cleon questioned Camilla as if he didn’t quite understand.

“Oath? Are you saying that everything you’ve said so far is outside the oath?”

“That, yes…”

Of course, any information would be important, but the fact that they did not take an oath to reveal their purpose and means was completely incomprehensible. As if it was the same for Iona, she spoke by tapping her forehead with her index finger.

“I’m not sure what Ishtal is thinking.”

“There’s nothing more difficult than reading the devil’s thoughts, but… Anyway, what we have to do has been decided.”

Saying so, Cleon handed Kamala’s head to Caliburn. As soon as Kamala touched Caliburn’s skin, a cheeeee sound came up, and a scream of ‘Gaaaaa~!’ Caliburn just smiled while holding Kamala’s cheek with her hand.

“To find and stop Ishtar before they make the perfect crystal, and if possible, to find another person with Satanael’s element before that guy and protect it from this side…”

“Yes. Also, a way to bring back men who have turned into women… That, Layla and I will have to research.”

Cleon nodded at Iona’s words and looked at her, Aruru.

“I… I will help Saint Princess with my mother. With Cleon. As a warrior who is the kingdom’s shield.”

As Aruru said that, she clenched her fists once again. In her fist her, more than her rage her, there was a will to encourage herself.

“Now, wait! I’ve said everything I want, so let me go! No, let me go!”

As Kamala raises her voice as she screams while being held in the hands of her caliburn, Cleon looks at her.

“Does Ishtal have any weaknesses?”

“Hey, weakness!? That, come to think of it, he says he doesn’t want to fight as much as he does – it hurts!?”

Cleon accepted Kamala’s head from Caliburn, as if interested in what she said.

“Who is that?”

“That, that’s-“

“So. You brought this?”

Lila in her own room her with Cleon. She looked up at the pink-haired devil’s head with a gag in her mouth as it was propped up on the table.

Afterwards, though, she pondered what to do with the feminized men freed from Changgwan. First of all, they decided to report to the Tromeia family and find a place to protect them. Aruru took them to the duke’s mansion by an unnoticed route.

…Although some of the men regained their memories and hurt themselves out of shame and self-doubt. I was stopped by Iona, and fortunately, I was transported in a stunned state. However, most of them waited for customers without recovering their memories and not recognizing that the workplace was gone.

They had to be cured in some way, but the method was not yet visible.

So that. As Cleon had planned from the beginning. He returned to Lila with Kamala’s head her. She came in with Laila packing something of her own her in her sack her, and she was not seen by Sasha or Quon, and she sighed as she had an uneasy premonition from the moment she held it out to her her. Moreover, I could even feel that something was moving inside the bag.

“It’s a great loot.”

“Because there are many things left to investigate.”

Saying so, Cleon removed Kamala’s gag, and she exhaled, “Pu-ha!” And she looked at Cleon with a resentful look.

“Beasts! Angels! Ghosts!”

“What is an angel? …Ah, it’s the opposite concept of a devil, so it’s an insult to you guys.”

“I know it well…! No! It was a promise that if you tell me what you know, I will send you back!”

When Kamala said that, Cleon smiled and talked to her.

“I never made a promise. I said it was merciful.”

“This, this profit… “

Lila then grabs Camilla’s head her and she grabs her eyes her and spreads her fingers up and down her her to examine her pupils her.

“You’re going to investigate this head and find a way to get the men who turned into women back to normal?”

“That’s it. This guy says he doesn’t know how to cancel it, but based on the memories he has, he can analyze the spell, right?”

Layla looked at her Cleon for a moment, then lifted one corner of her mouth to give her a grin. Her eyes were already twinkling with her delight at finding a new research object.

“Of course! To be honest, I didn’t think I would be of much help to fight the devil. If it’s a job like this, that’s my field…! Heung! You know Cleon well!”

“That’s right. I’ve been helped many times… I’ll ask you again this time, Layla.”

Hearing Cleon’s words, Lila blushed and ran a hand through her hair. Apparently, she was still a bit ashamed to hear her honest request her from him.

“…Leave it to me. There’s something about Tris Megistos, too. As expected, we can’t leave the demons alone like this. We’ll have to wait and trust the Tromeia family’s investigative power.”

Cleon also nods to Laila’s words her. There is a lot to do, but haste can ruin even the best. One by one. Dealing with the problems in front of you is the secret to a successful adventure.

Layla smiled bashfully at her Cleon and rose from her seat her, rolling her arm around her. Then she took out her analysis tools, which she had tucked away in her bag.

“Hey, what’s that little excavator you’re holding in your hand? Wizard sister?”

“Ah, this? Don’t worry. I’ll regenerate it properly. Oh, just the head.”

“Hey, wait!? Cleon-sama! Help me! It looks like he’s trying to use a drill, not a needle!?”

Leaving the pleasant voice behind, Cleon left Layla’s room.

Dinner time. After helping Quon set the table, Cleon headed to her room her to call Layla, who had n’t come out of her room since he had delivered Kamala’s head her to her during the day.

Since her today’s menu her is her salmon her, which is Lila’s favorite her, she would have to watch her cheeks swell when she started her meal without her her.

Kuondo and Sasha were also sitting at her table her, waiting for her to come down.

“Lyla. It’s dinner time, take a break and-“

After knocking twice, Cleon opened the door to the unlocked room and stepped inside.

“…Lyla?”

“Hey, wait! Wait! Cleon! Aww… Kuh…♡”

Perhaps hearing Cleon’s voice her, Lyla, who shrank her body her with her back her turned to Cleon, raises a voice close to her moaning her. Looking at her workbench, she could see Kamala’s head her strewn about, passed out. Did she do something to her!?

“Lyla, are you okay!?”

Cleon approaches her, raising her voice her, and tries to examine her face her. The moment I put my hand on her shoulder and try to go back in front of her.

There was something wrong with her body her, her body her.

Her red hair and blue eyes are back to normal. It is understandable that her body is warm because she originally had a high body temperature. However, the lower part of her neck is her.

Were her breasts originally this big?

“…Lyla-san…?”

“I’m sorry…”

Originally, Lila’s breasts her, which could not be said to be large even with empty words, now swelled to the size of her head her. Originally, her body line her was slender, so her figure her was perverted enough to look a little abnormal. There, as her breasts her tightened from her ill-fitting clothes her, she saw something, a liquid oozing from the tip her and soaking her clothes her. Because she held her body temperature, she could understand why the room was filled with the sweet scent of a warm steaming liquid.

“What-“

“Che, Close!”

Before Cleon can continue to say something of her, Layla uses her closure magic to close her own door.

Then she showed her flushed face towards Cleon and quietly opened her mouth.

Bang! Hearing her voice from behind her, Cleon carefully examines Layla’s face of her. She grabbed Cleon’s sleeve from her, breathing hard and sweat dripping from her head.

“Mi-sorry. Cleon. This, this… Let’s solve it together…”

Quon and Sasha are waiting for you. The moment she was about to say that, Layla’s mouth overlapped her Cleon’s.

When he felt a soft, squishy touch near his chest her, Cleon nodded her head as if he could n’t help it.
