My Lover's Personality Is A Little Strange

Swaeaeaek-!

“Kkieeeeek!”

Syuuk-!

“kkuwaeeeeeek!”

Every time the Chernicia sword given by the Emperor cut through the air, the demons died with a strange sound.

It was never easy to fight the demons flying in the air.

The knights of Chernicia in green uniforms moved to my command.

The knights that Brother Brian has been training in the dark for a long time were fighting surprisingly good, even though this is only the second time they are working with me.

When they circled the demons together, I swung my sword and finish them.

The demons that covered the sky scattered little by little, but there were still too many.

‘There’s no end to it.’

It was when I was wiping the blood of the demons on my cheek with the back of my hand.

“Lord Yvone!”

“Yvone!”

Brother Brian arrived with the knights of Celine and Leobrante.

After handing over the command of the knights to Brian, who arrived just in time, I rushed toward the demons together with Celine.

I was a little tensed when I was fighting alone, but when the reinforcements came, I could handle the demons much easier.

The demons charging into the capital faltered and scattered in all directions.

“I think we should light up signal for the Imperial Knight’s help right now.”

I was finally able to catch my breath at last.

“It would have been better if there were His Majesty the Emperor and Benjamin. Where are the two of them?”

Celine asked where the two were.

It was when I was contemplating what to say to her.

Shiing!

A strong light seemed to flash through the dark sky, and a darker darkness loomed over.

“That place is…”

“It’s near the palace!”

Celine said with a look of terror.

“I can feel a strong dark magic over there.”


＊ ＊ ＊


The palace was soon cleared up.

The palace’s employees were attacked by black demons that suddenly appeared, but some of them managed to flee the palace with their lives.

The knights who guarded the palace also bravely resisted in the absence of the Emperor and the chief of the Knights.….

“You, you…Evil, evil, evil spirit……! Go to hell!”

Tenebris, who had been looking bored all the time, looked at the royal knights running at him.

The knights rushed valiantly, but black thorns shot through their bodies from the floor.

“Hmm……”

Tenebris looked at his left hand with a somewhat unsatisfactory expression.

“What’s the matter, Lord Tenebris?”

Jericho asked next to him, tilting his head.

Tenebris’ left hand was suddenly scattered in black powder.

“……!”

Jericho jumped up and down in surprise.

“Lord Tenebris, hand, the hand……!”

“The resurrection is still incomplete.”

However, Tenebris muttered in an indifferent voice.

Immediately his hands grew again.

‘I can’t believe I became so weak just killing a few people.’

Tenebris frowned as if it was unpleasant.

The vessel that held his soul for a long time was too weak, and the resurrected body was not what it used to be.

More sacrifice was needed to complete the resurrection.

Tenebris briefly recalled the girl who looked like Chernicia.

‘As expected, I should have absorbed more energy then.’

The black magic was not absorbed properly because it was interrupted by a boy.

“Jericho.”

Tenebris swung his hand lightly into the air.

Then black smoke billowed together, creating the shape of a small girl’s face in the air.

“It’s a sacrifice. Bring it back.”

“Yes, Lord Tenebris!”

Even though there was no detailed explanation, Jericho immediately understood the words and nodded.

Then the black smoke that was procrastinating in the air moved somewhere.

Jericho chased the smoke out.

After Jericho left, Tenebris, who was left alone, recalled the conversation he had earlier.

Chernicia?

Yes?

Where is she?

Jericho blinked at the question as if he had heard an unexpected story.

All three apostles died while Lord Tenebris was in his sleep. Including Chernicia.

She’s… gone?

Yes, it’s already been thousands of years] There are now only families named after the ancient apostles.

…….

Lord Tenebris should know how much they persecuted us!

Jericho’s subsequent explanation was no longer audible.

While he was asleep, Chernicia disappeared.

The world that he saw after opening his eyes again after thousands of years was a world without her.


＊ ＊ ＊


Jericho chased the black smoke and stood in front of the Chernicia mansion.

The black smoke disappeared into the house.

Jericho crept over the wall of the mansion and crept inside.

The chirping of the children made his ears curl.

“Sniffle, Er, what should we do now?”

“I don’t know, sniffle, I don’t know.”

“How can Er not know it!”

“Lia doesn’t know either!”

“But…”

They were only about three years old, a small boy and a girl who looked just like each other were sniffing and exchanging conversations.

‘Oh, that’s the girl that Lord Tenebris was talking about!’

It was when Jericho was happy to find Odelia.

Tak!

Erwin, who suddenly stood up, sniffed the air.

“The smell of trash….”

Then, soon, he looked back exactly where Jericho was.


‘Did I get caught?’

The embarrassed Jericho hardened stupidly.

Grab!

Suddenly, Jericho’s proud coveted tail was caught by Erwin’s hand.

Erwin tilted his head as he looked at Jericho, who was lifted upside down with his tail.

“What’s this little rat?”

“Er! It’s a squirrel!”

Odelia, who had stopped sniffling before she knew it, clapped next to Erwin and looked at Jericho with curious eyes.

“Squirrel? Like Gonjun (Princess) and Yonza (Hero) squirrel?”

“Yes! Look, you are grabbing its big tail. So, it’s a squirrel.”

“Then why does it smells like trash?”

“Smell?”

Odelia sniffed Jericho.

Odelia, however, could not smell anything.

“I can’t smell anything”.

“I don’t know why. I just feel bad.”

Erwin stared at Jericho with his eyes squinted narrowly.

“But it’s a pretty squirrel…….”

“Doesn’t Lia smell it?”

“No, Lia doesn’t smell anything.”

While the two children exchanged conversations, Jericho sought a chance to run away.

However, Erwin, who was holding his tail, had a grip so strong that he could not escape no matter how hard he struggled.

“Don’t move Trash Squirrel.”

“Well, Er. It’s not a Trash Squirrel. It’s a squirrel.”

“No, it smells like trash. So it’s a Trash Squirrel”

“Then why don’t you give it to me?”

Odelia asked Erwin with a cute expression.

“But Lia, if I lose my grip, it may escape.”

Erwin would always be stuck when Odelia made that face.

“Ugh…… okay, Lia. You can take Trash Squirrel.”

“Wow!”

Odelia burst out laughing excitedly and received Jericho from Erwin.

“Yay, Er, it’s a squirrel! I’m so happy to have the squirrel!”

Odelia hugged Jericho to her heart.

Jericho relieved himself of the fact that he was getting away from Erwin, who was openly displeased with me.

But it was his defeat.

“Squirrel, what’s your name?”

“…….”

“Huh? Squirrel, can’t you speak?”

“…….”

“Er, this squirrel is a little weird.”

When Jericho had no answer, Odelia said to Erwin.

“Why can’t you talk? Are you a stupid squirrel?”

“Wh, Who is stupid! This is Jericho!”

Jericho, who pretended to be a real squirrel who couldn’t speak, got angry and exclaimed.

“What?”

Gasp!

Odelia’s eyes grew like pine cones.

Jericho belatedly tried to cover his mouth with his short front feet, but it was too late.

“Er! Did you just hear that? The squirrel spoke!”

“It’s a suspicious squirrel. Isn’t this a normal squirrel?”

Erwin’s expression became more grim.

“It smells like trash, and it also talks……. I think it really is a Trash Squirrel.”

“No! It’s not a Trash Squirrel. It’s a talking squirrel!”

Odelia clapped her hands in excitement.

Jericho, who was thinking of completing the task as quietly as possible, felt that the plan was twisted.

‘Damn it, now that I’ve been caught, I’ll have to escape from here.’

Jericho, who thought so, drew his magic.

Black energy began to bloom around him.

‘I’m going to teach the boy who dared to say that Jericho, the hero of the Empire smells…….’

The drawing magic flew toward Erwin.

“Huh? What’s this?”

However, the black magic, which was flying threateningly, dispersed as soon as Erwin reached out.

“I feel weird.”

“……!”

Jericho was stunned.

Although he looks like a cute squirrel, he was a demon who lived for a long time since Tenebris died.

But, getting powerless in front of a three-year-old boy!

“Trash Squirrel. Did you just do something weird?”

Erwin asked, frowning fiercely.

Jericho closed his eyes tightly and shook his head.

“Er, don’t talk to the squirrel like this.”

At this time, Odelia’s friendly voice saved Jericho.

“You have to say it nicely. Er is a good boy. Right?”

Odelia stroked Jericho’s coveted tail and reminded Erwin.

“But, but Lia, the squirrel is suspicious…….”

“Heh, say that to your own squirrel. Because, this squirrel is Lia’s now.”

Jericho, who was tightly hugged by Odelia, blinked his eyes with a curious face.

“……?”

The corners of Odelia’s mouth, whose eyes met Jericho’s eyes, rolled up.

“Talking squirrel! You are now Lia’s Buhayo (Friend)*!”


[T/N: Buhayo (부하요) or Buha (부하) means: subordinate, underlings, henchmen etc. But I think ‘Friend’ will be an appropriate word since they are children. But I may change the meaning in the future if necessary.]

“Yes, Bu, Buhayo (Friend)?”

A sudden honorific came out.
