Chapter 1888 – [Insolent on the Topic of the Devil]
Agape, whom I picked up as a pastime, was a genius who could immediately learn even the basic language, but apart from that, he was a problem child in personality.
Her personality is similar to Seon from the Frontier Empire in her past life, that is, Choi, who was my granddaughter in my previous life, and she shows talent such as excellent acquisition ability and memory for things she likes.
The only difference was that while Seon-i only showed talent in things she was passionate about and liked, Agape simply had no interest in areas she was not interested in or did not like, so she had no will to learn.
This is something that needs to be fixed. She said, “Where in the world is there a person who only does what he wants to do and likes?” And if you live only doing what you like, your personality will be ruined. As a modern-day boy, things like this are the result of how I was raised, so they need to be fixed somehow.
I decided to teach language first. However, since I don’t like doing things I don’t like, persuading was also a task.
“Let’s learn the language first.”
“Chill!!!!!!!”
“If you’re going to ask someone for meat, you should be able to tell them, but you’re not going to do it? If you can’t even ask for a lot of meat and a lot of sauce, you can’t even order it.”
“Eh…”
“Learn a language that is at a level for normal social communication. Then you can go somewhere and ask for food.”
“I understand…”
And so the taming of my tomboy began. I taught Agape many things and helped her learn them.
The same applies to the language part as well as the knowledge part. Regarding magic, I don’t know much about the magic system here, so I’ll teach you general scientific knowledge and common sense at least a little bit.
“What falls from a tree falls to the ground. Why is that?”
“Well, without knowing.”
“The answer is that there is something called gravity. The land we live on has a pulling force. That’s why everything falls.”
“…”
“I’m not interested again, and I’m going to sleep. If you don’t sleep and do well in this class, I’ll give you ice cream.”
“Oh!!!!! I’m not sleeping!!!!! Ice cream!!!!!”
By mixing various things, such as food and interesting knowledge, Agape was made into a human being. It was quite a struggle, but it was worth it.
If a game is easy, it’s almost as if it doesn’t have much meaning. Just as there is a reward for beating a moderately difficult game, I was able to spend my time teaching agape.
About a month after I came here, Agape started to resemble a person in his own way. Although he is a bit arrogant… He is still able to express himself, so he calls my name (I thought Worst would be better here) and runs up to me and begs me to eat.
“Worst!!!! Give me food!!!!!”
“How many times do I say, “Please give me food?”
“I hate polite language!!!!!!”
“The problem is knowing and not doing it. No, this guy…”
How did you even get to feeding vegetables? Because I eat all vegetables, including meat, in stews and other dishes made with vegetables, at least I am no longer a picky eater.
But apart from that, I couldn’t speak informally while learning the language. I think he was very focused on education, but it was difficult to correct his arrogant personality of speaking informally to others.
I am also an expert at parenting. I have a lot of educational experience as I have seen all kinds of children while raising children. However, Agape still hasn’t given him a proper education.
If you are slow at learning, you just need to take your time, but he is a genius, so learning is not slow, it’s just his nature. I thought carefully about what to do and then decided to take an extreme measure.
“Don’t come now.”
“What?”
“If you’re not going to treat me with respect, then come over to my house and don’t sleep or eat.”
“Huh? Huh?”
And I kicked Agape out of the villa. You might think it’s heartless, but… I did it because I thought it would be better to return to the wild if I couldn’t do it, since etiquette is a basic way of society and I need to learn it properly.
Besides, considering what I’ve taught you so far, at least it won’t cause any problems. Since I have learned the language and how to communicate, I guess I will take care of myself.
If you don’t realize it, the relationship ends there. At least I think I did everything I could.
“Aaaaa!!!!!”
Fortunately or unfortunately, after I chased her away, Agape returned three or four days later and began to cry, pounding on the door of her villa with the force of breaking down. Just in case, I strengthened the door to her villa so that it wouldn’t break even with the sword, and it was worth it.
Thump thump thump thump!!!!!
Agape, who harshly knocked on the front door of the villa and shouted, seemed to be reflecting in his own way. It seemed to be effective because her voice contained politeness.
“Now, I did it wrong, yo!!!! I won’t do it again, yo!!!!”
“Okay, that’s enough.”
“Ugh, huh…”
“First, come in, wash your face, and wipe your tears. He’ll make you a cake.”
“Cake…?”
“It’s big and very sweet.”
Since there was a lot to eat, I decided to make it as a whole cake and made a large whipped cream cake. Agape shouted, smelling the cake and its sweet smell, as if asking how she had cried before!!!!!
“Wow!!!! It’s a cake!!!!! I’ll eat it well!!!!!!”
“…”
“Okay, I’ll eat well.”
“Okay, good job.”
At the very least, you have to somehow learn to be respectful. There is a difference between speaking informally and speaking politely in important situations. A child who has been using swordsmanship since the age of 10 will definitely be in an important situation… So it’s good to know etiquette.
Agape began to scoop up her whole cake and eat it. A fork isn’t enough, so I just scoop it up with a spoon and eat it. It reminds me of Eden, so I’m very happy to see him eating well.
Yes, it’s good for kids to eat well. Wouldn’t it be better to eat more than not enough?
It was a bit extreme, but it worked. It’s a method that shouldn’t be used often, but since I’m only going to use it this time, I skipped it and prepared for what I’ll teach next. And yet, I never stopped learning about agape.
“Now that I think about it, Agape. You don’t seem to be attacked by monsters. What is that?”
“I don’t know!!!! Yo.”
“Just because you use it doesn’t mean it’s an honorific. Anyway, you don’t know why monsters don’t attack, right?”
“Yeah, they just don’t attack me!!! Yo.”
“Hmm.”
Agape is no ordinary child. Even if it wasn’t normal, whether you were a reincarnated person, a possessed person, or a regressor, it was no joke to walk around wearing a sword when you were 10 years old. To begin with, I was not even physically trained at that time. At least, you wouldn’t know if you were a reincarnated person like me who reached transcendence.
The reason monsters don’t attack Agape seems to be related to Agape’s origins. I’m quite curious about what that is like… Oh, and the power of Agape as well.
“Agape, what can you do?”
“What?”
“You can’t just cut things with a knife, right?”
“Ah!!!! Ears and horns can fly!!!! Ah, yo!!!!”
“Hmm?”
Then, wolf ears appeared on Agape’s head, and similarly, an L-shaped horn like a dragon’s horn sprouted near her temple. The change that occurred in an instant is quite surprising.
It’s not some kind of Bloodier… No, even Bloodier doesn’t undergo such drastic changes. Since they have the original, they are tied to it.
“If you have ears, you can hear better, and if you have horns, you can be strong!!!!”
“Oh, so?”
Suddenly, I remembered the night when I was having a barbecue with Agape, her eyes were shining like a cat’s. At the time, I thought she was just a beast-man mixed race, but now that I think about it, it seems like she just copied the traits of an animal, so she could see well at night.
However, looking at Agape’s actions, she was closer to imitating the characteristics of a monster rather than simply imitating the characteristics of a different race. Looking at the mana flow inside her body, it was much closer to that of a monster.
… Agape imitates the characteristics of all monsters, and wouldn’t she be able to use that power? Using sword techniques with such mana affinity is nothing more than an additional effect.
There is no way a child like this could be born naturally. It seems like someone created it artificially, but among many possibilities, such as magical experiments, aliens, gods, etc., The most likely came to mind.
God. Agape is a being created by the power of God.
“There was a God in this world… No, it was a really heavy responsibility.”
In order to get more detailed information, I decided to look for a God-related issue on a separate bookshelf that I had put aside for later. To be honest, it’s not that I’m not interested, but I hate God, so I tried to watch that item when I didn’t have anything to do, but I didn’t expect to see it now.
The information that Horizon obtained through separate observations of religious groups was quite well presented. And now we can know who created Agape.
“The God of Holy Light and the God of Darkness…”
Gods who control light and darkness, respectively. Is it said that the Holy Light God creates humans and the Dark God creates monsters, or in this case, demons? Anyway, I created a monster.
Now that I think about it, there are no other races in this world. When I first came here, I looked into this civilization on Horizon and found that there were only monsters, but I couldn’t confirm that there were other races, so it seems like there are only humans.
And what you need to pay close attention to is Amyasin. In this world where there are no other races, Agape, which sprouts ears and horns, has the ability to imitate the characteristics of monsters. Then, it is certain that the god who created Agape was Amya God.
Then, I looked into what Agape was. Although there was little information about whether Amyashin was a major or not, I was still able to find one thing that was perfect.
“A monster with intelligence. An absolute being who stands above all monsters and dominates them. The king of monsters… The devil king.”
I thought I could understand why Agape was able to imitate the characteristics of monsters without being attacked by them, and why he was unusually strong despite being young. This is because she was a demon queen who was promised the throne from the moment she was born.
He asked Agape, wondering if he had heard me muttering while looking at the book, wondering about the word devil. She probably feels some kind of fateful attraction to that word.
“The devil? What is the devil?”
“Not all of these letters are used as honorifics. Anyway, the devil refers to the king who rules over the monsters.”
“What is a king?”
“… He is the one who gives orders from the top with power.”
“Am I the devil?”
“Maybe so.”
“Then you don’t have to be polite!!!!!”
“Why does it come down to that?”
“Worst!!! Cook the meat!!!! No, do it!!!!”
“Do you want to be kicked out again?”
“I am the devil!!!!”
“I am the Great Demon King. How dare you be arrogant when you are only a Demon King.”
“Hehe…”
Agape: Man, kids are very temperamental these days?
Me: I am what that child became when he grew up.
The Demon King and the Great Demon King have a strange relationship. Of course, there is an overwhelming difference between the Demon King of only one civilization and the Great Demon King who plays dimensionally, like a firefly and the sun, but since the first person I met when I came here was the Demon King Agape, I wonder if the Absolute of Fate has done some manipulation again.
I was the one who decided to stay here… No, where did I really start?
Anyway, while researching the Demon King, I also learned about the existence of a hero who opposes the Demon King. First, the important thing is Agape, the devil, so I plan to leave this aside for a moment and do more research on the devil.
In addition, I need to prepare some more things to teach Agape. He has the title of Demon King, but if you don’t educate him, he won’t reach the level of gold. There’s a lot to research and prepare, so I think I’ll sleep late at night.
And that evening. After dinner, Agape made a fuss and fell asleep, and while I was tidying up my books, a guest came.
“Hmm?”
Even though it was hidden, it was a strong presence that I could feel. Then I went out of the house and faced the guest.
Except for my house, which has electricity, there is no light around here, so it is pitch black. Even in modern times, the mountains are dark, but what would it be like in the mountains at night in a medieval fantasy era with little city light? Even the moon is covered by clouds, so there is no moonlight.
In that darkness, something the size of a human appeared. Someone who looked like a clay doll made of darkness, without anything that a human should have, such as eyes, nose, or mouth, bowed his head politely and greeted me.
“Are you a female god?”
And the head nods. Perhaps he is a type of god whose influence on the earth is limited, and he has no choice but to express his opinion by sending a crude avatar like this.
Well, you have to understand. Sudden visits, insufficient preparation, etc. Are not so inflexible that they can be frustrating. In the first place, the Great Demon King is a very flexible being.
As if he didn’t have much time, he held out something to me. What he held out was a necklace decorated with large black diamonds, and it was so beautiful that you could almost get sucked into it. And I can also feel the power contained there.
“You’re giving it to me?”
Head nods again. And as soon as I received the necklace, Amyasin bowed to me again and disappeared. I think I came to say hello because I was like a parent due to the Agape issue. And the black diamond necklace you just gave me is that bribe.
It is not just a decoration, but contains the power of God. I’ll have to find out what functions it has, but at least judging by my intuition’s lack of response, it doesn’t seem like there are any harmful functions.
Even if there is a god in a non-dimensional civilization, a god is a god. An object imbued with the power of such a god has considerable value. Of course, it’s not like I couldn’t get it, but it’s important that I got it for free.
“Well, I got a souvenir for Eden.”
They came to give me gifts and even say hello. Still, he is a god who knows some manners. I don’t dislike scenes like that as much as I do Susanoo. Thanks to you, I am somewhat motivated.
Don’t worry, I will take good care of Agape. At least she will take responsibility for picking it up.
