17 Episode 17 "Ceciles Wishes and Rewards".txt (2/2)

”In the name of 'The Covenant', I command you, my slave, Cecil-Falot.

The red crystal glowed.

'──────'

The light of will has disappeared from Cecil's eyes - it seemed to disappear.

I declare.

”Cecil-Farot. Speak of the true desire that resides in the depths of your heart.

────

Stiff, Cecil's body.

Her cherry-red lips begin to move faintly.

Trembling.

You're hesitant to speak out your deepest desires.

But the ”order” slowly seeps into Cecil's body and...

Cecil declared his deepest wish in his own words, clearly.

'I want a child for Nagi-sama.

He stroked her belly with his slender fingers...

........................ Huh?

The first one should be a boy who looks just like Nagi.

Um, excuse me, Cecil?

If possible, I'd like a boy for the second child as well. It's said that when a girl is born, men become obsessed with her. But I don't think we should be too impatient for the second child.

Of course, Nagi-sama may not like having me as a partner.

That's why I'm going to do my best. I'm going to work hard and become as good as Rita. If you do that, I'm sure you'll be able to find ....... And then slowly ...... Nagi-sama will teach me a lot of things...

........................

I think it's best not to go on record about what Cecil said after that.

For example, you see, when you're in upper elementary school or junior high school, you fantasize about what it would be like if you were in a relationship with someone you liked, right?

And sometimes, on sleepless nights, you can accidentally write that fantasy in a notebook, right?

Cecil talked about it and made it more specific than it needed to be.

And with a strong addition of the 18-barrel element.

It's something that Cecil has fully mobilized and further decorated with all the knowledge he has.

I read it over with a cool head, and I was in a state of agony. It was the kind of thing that I would either have to change schools the day someone else saw it or master the idea that my life was over.

........................ ...

I see, Cecil was thinking about that....

I see... I didn't know Cecil was doing that while I was sleeping.

What a surprise.

I mean, it's time to get it over with.

Um, does this 'order' not stop until you're done talking about your desires and everything?　Hey.

You know what, Rita?

Hey, Nagi.

I think I'm going to take what I just heard to my grave.

You fit in. That's what I was thinking.

You're my slave, aren't you?

You are my master.

We didn't hear anything.

We didn't hear anything. But Nagi.

What the f*ck?

”Nagi is ...... once you go to sleep, you don't wake up no matter what you do next to her?

I was tired after being on a different world for so long!

'But I didn't know that. I didn't know that demons had a body manipulation technique to make their breasts bigger.

............

It's a strange saying that the effect is more powerful when you're not wearing anything. Cecil-chan makes an incredible effort every night...

So let's take it to the grave, that kind of thing!

Again, I'm sorry, Nagi. I didn't mean to do anything naughty to you, Cecil.

I don't want an apology right now. ......

I think it's more of a load of reason.

It's being chipped away at in an ongoing process: ......

Hang in there.

Rita, are you having fun?

Do you understand?

Yeah, I know.

I'm having fun, or at least I'm thinking it's going to be fun.

What?

Hint. Cecil is a girl.

I know.

And I'm a girl too.

...... I know that.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to tell you anymore. Come on, Nagi, you can do it!

Then Rita put her hand to her lips and laughed.

The words of Cecil, who had been talking incessantly as if he had timed it, were cut off.

As it is, she collapsed from her knees with a thud and fell to her knees.......oh no!

I rushed to reach out and hug the little body.

”Hey, Cecil. Are you okay?

Dear Nagi......

Cecil opened his eyes.

Good. It's the original Cecil.

My 'Senza-Ishiki'-what did you say?

........................... ......... or at least she didn't say she didn't like human beings.

Why are you looking away?

It was a very peaceful desire, yes.

What did he say?　I

Um, .......

Peacefully translating what Cecil said: ...... it's

'I want a family,' he said.

......

Cecil's eyes lit up.

He had an idea.

That's right. That's right, I want to have a family. That's the right thing to do!

Oh, good.

I guess they'll understand.

I'm glad to hear that ...... I don't hate people.

He said he loved it.

It's enough to make me feel wary.

'Thank you ...... Nagi-sama. Now you can be at ease ...... with Nagi-sama. I see. I've been wanting to have a family .......

Cecil keeps nodding his head.

To make a replacement for the family members he lost by himself.

I don't care what form the blood of the demon race takes, I don't care what form it takes, I can connect it to the future.

That's what I wanted for my 'Senzaiki', isn't it?

I can't thank you enough, Nagi-sama. Now that I know what I want to do, I want to work towards my dream of creating a family while serving Nagi.

Yeah. That's good to hear.

One day, Nagi-sama would be happy to help us out, even if it's just a little bit of .......

Yeah. I'm good with that.

Oh.

What?

Rita's mouth is open.

Then she held her forehead as if to say, ”Aha!

”Cecil-chan's Dream

Rita tells me with a mouthful.

'Family,'

”We will 'build' a replacement.

”Cooperation.

”Nagi.

.............................. ............ Oh.

I've been questioned.

According to the witch wizard's message, he'd hidden the inheritance in the next room.

The door was still sealed in The Ancient Language, so I asked Cecil to open it for me.

Next to the basement was a room that was a complete dead end.

At the far end of the room, with walls on three sides, was a small treasure chest.

And the treasure chest was guarded by a metal statue.

The moment we stepped into the room - we heard a creaking sound.

The statue in the form of an angel looks at us and starts to move.

With a thud, it kicks the ground. He spreads his wings and flies in.

He's so fast!

Cecil!

”'Spirit, avenge my enemy!　'Arrow of Fire'!

A flaming arrow flew out from Cecil's fingertip - hit the statue and disappeared.

It's not working!

'Nagi!　Cecil!　Get off me!

Impact.

Rita pushed us out of the way.

A golden statue passes by in front of us. I raise my sword at Rita.

”Rita!

Aah!

Ta-da!

The statue's sword shot at Rita's arm. A solid sound.

Barely, the 'Divine Power Grip' prevented the sword.

Rita flies a kick at the same time. The statue's shield catches it.

The statue only shook faintly - no!

”You can't beat this guy!　Everyone retreat!

I start running with Cecil in my arms.

I jump into the door that is still open. Rita is...

”Konno ooohh!

Rita kicked the statue away with both feet. Using her momentum, she jumped.

I flew backwards and rolled into this room.

I closed the door in a hurry.

A bang, bang, bang, bang on the door.

After a while, it also stopped.

The statue... what happened to it?

I opened the door in a haze.

The statue was back in front of the treasure chest - but...

Geez, Geez.

bang

I closed the door again before the statue that looked at me started to move.

”...... 'Guardian'.

The Guardian...... moving statue?

''Yes. It was created by an old wizard, and it has the habit of protecting a room or a mansion or some other fixed place. It's powered by magic and eliminates intruders - and kills them.

Cecil squeezed, and hugged my legs.

'I'm sorry. It's too late to remember. I didn't want to put Nagi-sama in danger. ......

I'm okay. Neither Rita nor I are hurt.

If this is a wizard's lair, then he must have planted that guardian in it.

I've been told that if you have the power, you should get the magic sword. In other words, the ”guardian” is there to test your power.

Okay. Whoever is here wants a demon's inheritance.

Rita said.

I didn't raise my hand.

Cecil kept hugging me.

'It's unanimous. What do we do now?

”Leave it alone.

Now.

We're not going to fight until we have a plan of attack.

And we'll keep this place to ourselves.

Sansei. Where's Cecil-chan?

Oh, yes, of course.

So don't look so tearful.

Rita squatted down and wiped the tears from Cecil's eyes.

'Now that your work is done, why don't you go home and take a bath and think about what you're going to do?'

...... yes!

Cecil laughed.

By the way, Cecil told me the specs of the 'Guardian' are as follows.

The Guardian is a statue that moves with magical power.

They have animal-like hearing, sense of smell and sight.

They have the habit of protecting doors and chests.

Reduces damage from sword strikes and blows. Does not deal fire magic.

Recommended Level. 'At least 15 or higher'

For now, the door was sealed by Cecil in the ancient language.

It was getting dark while I was doing all sorts of things, so I decided that it was not safe to go back now.

I stayed in the basement for a while to see if the 'Guardian' came out, but there was no movement at all. It seems he's just guarding the treasure chest.

The door is sealed with a seal that only responds to ancient languages, so he may not be able to come out.

Just as the wizard left a note, that guy was really just for 'testing the power of the demon race's successor'.

At any rate, we decided to spend the night in the basement while we took turns keeping watch.

The next morning.

After completing our quest, we decided to return to town.

We killed 16 large bats this time. We were told to cut off the ends of their ears and take them home as proof that we had defeated them, so we did that. The rest was Cecil's 'Ancient Language' to seal the hidden room and that was it.

Rita insisted on washing up, so I decided to send her to the communal bathhouse with Cecil and I would go ahead and report to the guild.

I finished earlier than I expected, so I might as well do the logistics of the magic sword search.

Aine-san gave me a skill crystal and introduced me to the quest without telling me. I have to repay the debt.

I went up to the second floor of the grungy building, for some reason.

Aine was there.

She was upstairs in the rec room, passed out on the table, asleep.

Next to her sat a girl in an expensive looking outfit decorated with gold thread.

She had a rapier slung around her waist. Short, blue hair.

She's looking at me with her cheekbones on the table.

”Are you the one who finished your quest?

The blue-haired girl said.

I held out The Great Bat's Ears in a cloth bag.

'Yes. Here's the proof. Please reward me.''

I can't pay.

The girl said.

''The Commoner's Guild is closing down as of today.
