Chapter 151

TL: Zimming

The moment I saw the beautiful deer that appeared with the shining pillars, my head was dizzy. This certainly was not the effect of the depletion of divine power.

Looking at me gently, he approached me with an elegant stride.

[Thank you for freeing me from eternal suffering.]

He was different from the devils I summoned earlier. He’s like Boone…… not exactly friendly, but not arrogant or violent like Pymon or Glashalabolas. Rather, it is polite and gentle enough for me to wonder if it is really a devil. I somehow felt a sense of de javu. Looking up blankly at him and searching for memories in my head, I suddenly recalled a scene. The lush garden of Amity. Mina sitting on an old swing. And the deer guarding it.

[Right, nice. ……Le.]

‘Mina’s deer!’

It was a black deer who stood by Mina whenever something terrible happened in the country.

[I am the king who achieved peace, integrity and justice as the 72nd pillar.]

He bowed his head in front of me as if to say hello and lightly rubbed my cheek with its snout. The nymphs were moved by the elegant and beautiful deer. But they don’t seem to understand what it’s saying, they only shed tears while calling it master.

[Ah, my poor subordinate.]

The old nymph went to his knees in front of him.

“T, this old servant greets master. Complete the revelation and release the shackles of our people!”

The deer looked at the nymphs with wistful eyes and turned toward me.

[Revelator, pity my subordinates. Please release them.]

“Is your wish to liberate the nymphs?”

The deer nodded pitifully.

[You need special power to set them free. A warm heart that knows how to shed tears for the poor. To the righteous revelator, please, release my subordinates who are grieving.]

It’s hard to say, but the gist was ‘heart’. In other words, what the devil needed was a revelator, that is, my heart.

“You mean you need my life to free the nymphs?”

Henry, Isaac and Zachary came running at my words.

“What are you talking about?”

“What did that deer ask you for?”

Unlike the previous devils, people can see it.

‘Because this place is the devil’s authority.’

I didn’t answer and looked at the deer with my eyes wide open. The deer cried in sorrow. Clear tears soaked in hair and fell from its black, shiny eyes.

[Since we lost the war, my servants have only curled up in darkness. Look at that little, feeble subordinate. Without knowing neither the kindness of the sun nor the joy of life, I wandered through a thousand-year nightmare until the revelator appeared.]

“…….”

[I swear by my name If the revelator grants my wish, I will give your family a thousand-year revival in return for your life.]

The deer looked at the crying little nymphs. As if to ask for a favour from me.

I asked the deer.

“But what’s your name?”

[A name is too good for me. It’s been a long time since I abandoned my name…….]

I said, “Hmm.” as the deer fell down and quivered.

[I beg you earnestly. Please-]

“You’re saying nonsense.”

The deer raised its head at my acrimonious remark. I grinned and continued,

“Right?”

[How can you criticize my heart for subordinates… … . Revelator, please understand this heartbreak.]

“Liar.”

Again, I am aware of him.

The king of crooks. This devil will say the truth when I know its name, so right now everything he said was a lie. And again, I know him, even his real name.

‘Purpur’

When I called its name in my mind, the startled deer jumped on all fours.

[H, how, this thing……!]

I heard it from Mina. Mina called him ‘Pur’. Maybe that’s his nickname. Just then. Flash! A dazzling light enveloped the place..I covered my eyes with my forearm and only looked at the deer after the light had faded.

“Huh?”

“‘Huh?’ What huh! It’s all because of you. All because of you. Arghhh-!”

A little boy with wavy curly blonde hair looked at me with resentment and cried loudly.

The boy’s head had large antlers.

“No way, you…….”

“How dwo you know my twue name! Huwaa! Huwaa!”(How do you know my true name! Huwaa! Huwaa!)

I smirked as I looked at the stupid little boy crying. So that’s why Mina always called him by his nickname.

‘When I call its true name, it will return to its true form…’

And that devil seemed to hate that form very much.

‘I could use this to my advantage.’

I giggled as I watched the devil crying and hiccuping.

***

“Let, let gooo-!!”

I shook my head seeing Zachary seizing the devil who was running amok.

What kind of devil is like this?

One of the Irie pressed his forehead and said,

“Stay still you brat.”

“Dwo you want to die?” (Do you want to die?)

“Alright, alright.”

Purpur was energetic and flailed its dainty arms wildly. After being transformed into a human, he became really weak like a human child. And…

“Let’s change his diaper first. Oh the smell.”

“Lwet go! Huwaa!” (Let go! Huwaa!)

……It can’t even pee properly.

The people of Irie tried to remove the wet diaper, but their hands were sloppy.

‘Well, there’s no way a man who lived his life holding a sword could change a diaper.’

If I let them do it, they would forcefully pull it down, but I thought that the delicate skin of the baby would be red, so I helped them. I said, “Come here.” and laid Purpur down.

“Lwet go!” (Let go!)

‘Purpur.’

When I called his name, it was startled and started crying.

“Stay calm. It must be uncomfortable because the diaper is all wet.”

“You’we the one who did this!” (You’re the one who did this!)

“Then why do you keep lying?”

“Hwumans awe stupid and give theiw lifes for justice, but you awe evil! Evil!” (Humans are stupid and give their lives for justice, but you are evil! evil!)

“Yes, yes.”

I answered casually and took off the diaper skilfully. Then I wiped his buttocks with a towel, took out a clean cloth from my travel bag, and tied it as a diaper. I was changing diapers when Henry and Isaac approached and asked.

“Kid, how did you know how to do this?”

“In my past life, when I was a beggar, I worked as a nanny.”

“They told a kid to babysit?”

“Commoners are poor and can’t find a nanny. But again, I have to work. They even hired a child as they were also desperate. We took care of the neighborhood kids while getting some food.”

“…….”

“…….”

Henry and Isaac’s eyes were filled with pity. When they heard the story of my previous life,they always had that expression.

‘But I’m okay though?’

We were already lucky to even get a job as a nanny. Usually, children who do not have guardians or live on the streets couldn’t work to distribute newspapers.

After changing the diaper and patting its ass, the devil seemed to feel better. “Haa…” He sighed and then hesitantly flailed its arm again. I said, “Alright, alright.” As I hugged Purpur and patted its back.

“Are you hungry? Do you want milk?”

“Yes. ……no!”

“Yes, yes. I’ll give you milk when we get back. We can even find a nanny for you.”

Purpur is easier to care for than other babies. Babies in need of diapers can’t communicate well, so we don’t know where they feel uncomfortable or what they want.

‘I have to win its favor and get powerful abilities.’

If I’m lucky, I might be able to make this kid into a family like Mina.

‘But what kind of power does he have?’

I thought about what Mina’s abilities were. Purpur must have contributed to one of them.

A powerful force that overwhelms the opponent. Disaster remedy. Cure.

And, and…

As I pondered, I unintentionally patted Purpur on the back as it was startled.

“Hey!”

Purpur had hair that I had never seen before. It was also the first time I had seen the black fur on a deer. Not long after, Purpur got out of my arms. And again with the light revert back a huge deer.

‘When I call its true name, it becomes a human for about an hour.’

In the meantime, it really seems like a human child when it loses its strength.

‘If it’s a devil with this level of risk, maybe it has a strong power.’

Its gift of fulfilling and obtaining wishes may be different from previous devils.

“Hey. What talents do you have?”

[Nothing.]

“Shall I call your name again?”

[Gasp…!]

While I was in a tug-of-war with Purpur, who had become a deer. The old nymph brought another chalcedonian.

“Ad, adventurer, I brought what you wanted.”

While I was taking care of Purpur, I asked the nymphs to purify the suwon, and it seems to have already been completed.

‘This blue chalcedonia is suwon.’

I nodded and handed him a handful of almonds I had packed in my pocket. The old nymph jumped with joy and chewed the almond

“Do you have no shame……!”

“B, but, master. We are hungry… …”

“If you beg from the enemy, you will starve to death!”

“Naughty master, bad master.”

Then the other nymphs, who stayed silent all this time,also cursed him in small voices.

“Naught.”

“Master, bad.”

“You bastards…….”

Purpur growled, showing his teeth at once.

“Don’t bully the nymphs!”

Then the nymphs looked at me with thrilled expressions.

“Adventurer, good.”

“Adventurer give us food.”

“A good adventurer.”

The little nymph rubbed its face in my arms as I chuckled.

‘Can I use this to my advantage too?’
