Chapter 22 – Lumia (10)
Next day. After having sex, the group went to tidy up the inside of the mansion. The inverted cross, which was dirty and lost its light, was burned along with the trash, and four people worked together to erase the bottom where there were traces of uncleanness. Rumia used her divine power to cover the traces.
Elena asked, curious about her appearance.
“I had sex with the devil, but can I still use divine power? You also drew a strange sentence on your belly.”
Rumia was sweeping the floor with a long shot of her divine power, as if sweeping her yard with a broom. The dark marks left by her tentacles and demons faded away with every stroke of her hand. She said to Elena, her eyes focused on her floor.
“Divine power and faith have nothing to do with it. Because it’s a talent. It’s like I don’t suddenly lose my intelligence or have my limbs cut off just because I follow the devil.”
“Then priests who believe in demons are extremely dangerous, because it’s hard for people to notice.”
“Yes. So priests periodically receive character education to prevent corruption, and even priests without divine power are taught how to deal with demons.”
“But, just like that… Is there anything wrong with your body when you use divine power?”
Rumia paused for a moment at Elena’s words, then raised her head. Elena turned her head away in amazement as she stared at her with an expressionless gaze. After playing like a bitch for one night, she returned to her usual priesthood as soon as she came to her senses.
Elena couldn’t tell if she had really had a change of heart or if she was just pretending. Rumia stared at Elena, then scratched her head and blushed.
“Oh that… I’m only saying this here…”
Elena froze when she let her rhyme out in an unexpectedly shy tone. Since Rumia spoke with such an expression, she couldn’t get used to it. So she responded awkwardly.
“Huh? Huh?”
“To be honest, it feels good to carve the devil’s brand and use divine power, feeling immoral. It makes me wonder why I didn’t do this earlier.”
“…Oh yeah.”
It definitely seemed to taste good. Elena looked more like a devil than Evan because she was making strange noises with her perfectly normal face.
“Rumia. Are you done cleaning inside?”
The door opened and Evan appeared, she asked. He was covered in ashes on his face and body because he had dug a hole in the backyard of his mansion and burned clutter. Lumia shook her head again and pretended nothing was wrong as she concentrated on cleaning her, while Elena stood awkwardly.
“What. Have you cleaned up yet?”
“A little more and it seems to be over. How is Evan?”
“I put away the cross and everything outside. Also, what do you have to do?”
“Oh, then please stay here for a while.”
“Here?”
Rumia pointed to the seat next to her, shooting her divine power with one hand. As Evan slept beside her with a puzzled look on her face, Lumia crossed her arms with Evan and continued cleaning. Elena laughed incredulously, and Lumia’s ears turned red when she heard her laugh.
Evan said as he wrapped his one hand around Lumia’s side.
“Do you like me that much?”
“Evan is my religion and my love. That day, from the moment you hugged me here, my fate changed. To be honest, it’s too bad we have to erase the traces of this love.”
“Still, you said you had to erase this to prove that you were exorcised?”
“Yes. That’s right. This is because there should not be any traces of uncleanness left in the place where the exorcism was performed.”
“How am I now? Can you smell the devil?”
Evan asked, looking at her with her arms open. That day. While having sex with Lumia, the demon also taught Evan how to contain his demonic energy.
Evan trained hard, but Isabel and Elena didn’t notice much of a difference. Rumia stared at Evan and smiled.
“You are just like a human. And, it’s still cool.”
“Okay. Good. Tell me when you’re done cleaning. I’ll be cleaning up some ashes outside.”
“All right.”
Evan gave her a slap on Rumia’s butt and walked her out again. Rumia opened her eyes wide and blinked in bewilderment, then, covering her flushed face, she began cleaning her face again. Elena asked as she headed into the kitchen.
“What would you like to drink?”
Rumia rolled her eyes back and forth while blushing, and she asked cautiously.
“By any chance, what kind of cup does Evan-nim use?”
Elena couldn’t get used to Rumia’s appearance.
“…We don’t have special cups. Only madam used a separate cup, and me and Evan chose something to use.”
“Ah…”
Rumia licked her lips in regret. Elena shook her head and said.
“Ah, get rid of it now!”
*******
“At las. The devil is dead.”
After clearing all traces of the mansion, Evan and his party stood in front of Carlson’s corpse. Rumia said that as she looked at Carlson’s withered corpse with a grave face. Carlson’s corpse, squeezed by the devil, was astonishing to anyone who knew him when he was alive, and was pale and stiff.
Rumia said.
“Now, if Evan-sama injects demonic energy into Carlson’s corpse. The work will be over. It will be a story that Carlson went on a rampage under the influence of demonic power, was subdued and then killed, and the demon controlling Carlson was exorcised through a simple ritual.”
“It’s neat. Then blow it in?”
“Yes.”
In front of Isabel and Elena, Evan rolled up his arm. Black smoke covered his white forearm, and demonic energy shot towards Carlson’s corpse. The skinny corpse trembled, and the surrounding grasses began to wither as a sense of disgust slowly rose.
Rumia watched this process with a blunt face.
The corpse, which had been hit with demonic energy, had horns sprouting from its head and some muscles were attached to its body. Evan stepped back, sweating profusely. I thought it was a simple task, but the energy consumption was no joke. Carlson’s corpse had changed so much that it was difficult to see it as Carlson. He had to look closely at his face to understand that it was Carlson.
“Wow, this is not a joke, it’s hard.”
“This is because each demon has its own specialty. If Evan had a talent for transforming demons into Magi, he would have made it easier.”
Rumia said while shooting a small hole in the chest of Carlson’s corpse with divine power.
“Magi transforms the human body. Even if he died, it is the same, and it is impossible to tell whether he transformed into a demon after death or killed the body that turned into a demon.”
“Why can’t I change?”
Rumia answered Evan’s question again.
“If they have the blood of an original incubus or succubus, they are often in human form.”
“I’m glad. I was worried that my true self might not be like this.”
With goat-like horns on his head and his face protruding forward, Carlson was literally the devil in a fairy tale. Isabel and Elena both shook their heads with an embarrassed look on their faces. Rumia said.
“Now, after I summon the priest from the temple, it’s my turn to confirm the appearance of this demon-turned Carlson. The eyewitness accounts of other priests are much more credible than my own assertions. As a warning against demons, Carlson’s corpse, contaminated with demons, will be put on display in the town square after being protected, and burned at the stake after a sufficient amount of time has passed.”
Rumia said so and she drew a circle in the air. A circle of holy light formed around Carlson’s corpse. As soon as Evan saw the circle, he frowned and turned his head away. Rumia said to Evan.
“Evan. You have to be patient with this. If the priest brings a sacred object or turns his head whenever he uses some power, I have no way to hide it.”
“Okay. Got it.”
As Evan said that, he turned his head again. After all, no matter how many times I looked at it, that holy circle didn’t make me feel better. I felt dizzy as if I was riding a wave facing a pendulum swinging on a boat.
“It is done.”
Rumia wiped her hands. Carlson’s corpse was an infallible demon. Evan and the others decided to believe that Carlson was really a devil from now on. Carlson’s life was literally the devil itself. Elena started talking with a sad expression on her face without being asked.
“I really didn’t know that Master was a demon. I thought he was just a piece of trash.”
Isabelle chuckled at Elena’s joke and nodded her head. Rumia passed the two of her laughing people and dropped to her knees in front of Evan. Evan stroked her hair.
“Okay. Great job.”
“Thank you. Then, I will go to the temple for a while.”
Rumia pulled Evan’s pants down. Evan didn’t hesitate to pull down her pants. A hard erect penis protruded in front of Rumia. Rumia smiled and kissed Evan’s penis with hers.
“I love you. Master.”
Evan also thought as he kissed Rumia on the forehead.
Now there is only one thing left to live happily ever after.
