-The terms "anyone or anything" should have an exception, so you are not able to change the terms of the contract after signing it. It is after all possible to change it so long as both parties agree, and the wish that is fulfilled would allow you to be the only party whose will matters.
I see.
She thought. And:
-Seems fine with me.
She answered.
-Wait for a while while I prepare the contract.
The Devil said.
She already expected it, so she was not surprised when he eventually took a contract out of thin air.
Compared to his appearance or to the scale of her wish, it was nothing. I originally wrote 1 chapter, but after checking the length it ended up being as long as 1.7, then I wrote a bit more and it ended up being 2.6 chapters. Except I wanted to end the third there because it was a great end.

Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (15) - The Final Review
That month passed in a flash. It is now time for me to head back to the Senate. I anticipated the final review a lot, but I forced myself to not be worried, for there was nothing I could do about it. The final review will definitely make me know how my proposal was turned into law. While there are procedures to ensure the fairness of the translation, such as appealing for the whole reviewing process to be redone, they are limited both in number and use. It wouldn't be good for a menaced Devil to delay the application of the laws forever under threat, after all. Above three times, it can only be used so long as the Devil who made the proposal convinces the majority of the Sen

Keywords: Galvanize/Deaden/Breviary/Rust (1)-So it is time.He was the current Pope.He only took my functions five years ago. While realistically, he was close to his death, he still didn't expect to have to resort to this so early.In all of the Church's history, there were rumors that a secret order existed inside it. Only when becoming Pope did he learn of their existence.While there were several secret orders, one was special.Contrarily to any other secret order, they were not entitled to act in any way, and did not follow the orders of the Church.
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (17) - Rust
Keywords: Galvanize/Deaden/Breviary/Rust (1) There was one Breviary that was never used in the Church. It was hundreds of years old. The amount of dust that collected on it, though, spoke of a different story. The Pope took it. Once he was in a private room, he opened it, and recited a few lines of Latin. This was the trigger. I felt the call. I came. Slowly. Bit by bit. I came through the circle.
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (18) - Costs and Initiative
Keywords: Galvanize/Deaden/Breviary/Rust (2)If there's a good point to this, it is that it prevented the Pope from giving me troublesome requests.Without any requirements to fulfill other than my own interpretation of the contract, I just need to fix that problem, not kill the thing.So sending it back is an option.It's not that I would be unable to do so, but the already high difficulty would be even higher. If right now I have a chance in a thousand of succeeding, then I'd get closer to one in a million chances of success to kill it.Now... I ask the Pope:-What kind of damage did this thing do?-It left a h
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (19) - Goodbye
Keywords: Galvanize/Deaden/Breviary/Rust (3) The setup is simple. I have the Pope alone in the center of the room, and everyone else hidden. I thought for a while about what it could be that made me invisible to its eyes, and I could only settle for energy as an answer. Devils aren't so different from other species on the constitution side, but they are constantly full of energy. Because of its concentration, it is more common to see Devils as balls of energy brighter than the sun. But it could also be, that to a creature that feels through energy but is unable to feel a range of energies that includes Devils would have all other forms of energy emitted by the Devils go undetected.
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (20) - Anna
It was the 1960's. It wouldn't be a lie to say that women had little freedom at that time. In fact, it had been so for a long time. The environment people lived in made it so. Over the years, things changed a bit, but it never went too far. Women were allowed to vote, they were allowed to make many more decisions, because their environment made it feel wrong to not do so. Still, the environment did do its job. With the past war, more women started working. It was out of necessity at first, but once you had a taste of freedom, you could only have two possible reactions: enjoy the choice, or be overwhelmed by it. Both led to opposite results, but it was obvious that freedom was more enjoyed than rejected. In the modern wor
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (21) - Maya
-I see. Maya answers, impassible, while pouring liquid into two cups, as Anna finishes telling her story. Maya was Anna's best friend. She was, just like her, independent, just not for the same reasons. From what she told Anna, Maya's husband travels a lot, and leaves her in Rome. So she was alone most of the time. They were both, in a way, aliens in this city, and so they sympathized quickly. Her husband sent her a generous amount of money to live every month, so it could be said that they both lived a good life. Though, Maya was way more responsible than Anna, and did not dilapidate it right away. She still kept a good amount of savings, as a safety fund. She was incredulous that she exclaimed just a few minutes ag

Anna was humming.Today, she was going to eat out with Maya.It wasn't anything special by itself, but it was the first time her friend did so by her own initiative.She had a long night of sleep. Such a long night, actually, that she woke up late in the morning.She liked taking her time in the bathtub, so by the time she used her towel, it was already time to leave.After seeing the time, she dressed up like usual, just a bit hurriedly.She didn't enjoy the haute couture that was popular at the time, and was kind of a tomboy. As much as she could be at the time, at least. Seeing how she dressed, no one could assume she was as well off as she was.Latest Chapter
