I was reborn as a villainous aristocrat, but to be honest, I’m having too much fun with magic – I’m creating all kinds of unique magic, and before I know it, I’m going to be the next Demon King!

“However, from the looks of it, Christina-sama still has the thoughts of leaving the house…”

“Leaving home?”

I opened both of my eyes and asked Sariya.

“….”

But Sariya, for some reason, looked at me a little surprised.

The expression on my face was probably worth seeing.

“W-what’s wrong?”

“…No. Master Friedrich is only 13 years old. It’s no wonder he doesn’t know.”

A shocking fact is revealed here. So I’m 13 years old this year.

I’ve been in this world for quite a while now, but please forgive me for not knowing that until now. It’s a bit weird to ask someone, “How old am I now?”

By the way, most of the students who enter “Cadonic Magic Academy” are 15 years old. Does that mean I’ll be entering the school in less than two years?

But that’s not important right now.

I thought I could live under the same roof with my favorite character, but now she’s leaving home? We haven’t even had a chance to talk yet!

“ Miss Christina is a genius.”

Contrary to those words, Sariya muttered with a gloomy expression.

“Why does being a genius lead to leaving her home?”

I would rather work hard to make sure my family is well taken care of.

…Sorry for thinking like an ordinary person.

“ Master Friedrich is well aware of Miss Christina’s talent, right?”

“Well, of course?”

To be honest, I still don’t know about the Christina of this world, but I know as much as I can about the Christina of the main game.

Overwhelming character performance that removing her from the party was said to be an act of holding back.

In “The Apostles of Arinasia”, there was a clear line between physical and magical characters, but Christina is a high-performance character who can handle both at the top level. On top of that, she has the broken skill of [Chantless Magic].

If you ask me if she is a genius, I can only nod my head.

“A few weeks after I taught her martial arts, Miss Christina won against me, even in a mock battle.”

“Huh!?”

I couldn’t help but shout.

After all, I hate Sariya’s ability–I’ve been made aware of it so many times that I had to vomit to ease the pain.

To be honest, I can’t see me being able to beat her even if it takes me a few more years.

I couldn’t understand how she could take up a weapon against Sariya and defeat her in just a few weeks.

“Besides, even before entering the magic academy, her skills as a magician were top-notch. If I have to specific, she can currently handle freezing and healing magic at an advanced level, and lightning and dark magic at an intermediate level.”

“H-oh…”

It was the same information as the main game.

In other words, Christina had this ability two years before the main game, no, three years before she joined the main character’s party.

Isn’t she not only a genius, but a prodigy?

“And that’s not the only talent that Miss Christina has. She’s also very good at studying, and I heard she graduated at the top of her class.”

She’s a picture-perfect superhuman.

In my previous life, I would have skipped a grade at a university in America and been interviewed on TV.

“So how does that lead to running away from home?”

“…There is no one who can rival Miss Christina.”

“Equal?…I see, that’s what you mean.”

In the end, Christina must have gotten bored.

There is no one who can defeat me in martial arts, and there is no one who can defeat me in magic.

I’m sure the people around her praised her at first, but at some point they started to fear her.

They must have been frightened by her talent, which easily surpassed her peers.

I see. It’s like the suffering that comes with being a genius., huh?

“One year ago, Miss Christina tried to leave the mansion without telling anyone. I guess it may be because women cannot inherit the headship of the family in the Demon Kingdom. However, you never know how rumors will spread, such as when a child runs away in the night. So, for the time being, Master Doroius enrolled her in the Cadonic Academy of Magic, where the best and brightest from all over the world gather.”

Even in the main game, Christina’s values were often described as being somewhat at odds with those of others.

And the reason she joined the main character’s party in the first place was because she wanted to fight against strong people….hmm? I think she also said something else.

“However, didn’t Miss Christina say that the Academy of Magic was boring? Besides, it seems that there was no one at the academy who could match Miss Christina considering she graduated as the top student…”

There was no one in the Asmodai family could satisfy her.

The same is true at the Cadonic Academy of Magic, where promising people and children of noble families gather from all over the world.

That is why Christina is thinking about leaving the mansion once again.

I see.

…Come to think of it, in the main game, Christina vanishes after defeating the final boss, saying she will continue her journey alone.

So, it seems that even with the main character’s party, her hunger could not be satisfied.

“…an equal person”

After all, what Christina wants now is someone who is her equal. A strong person with the same talents and abilities.

If you ask me, I want Christina to stay in this house.

She is strong. It was the same in the main game, but if Sariya’s words are true, she will probably be one of the strongest in this world at this point.

If I had someone like that close to me, I would have a better chance of avoiding my doomed fate.

But more than that, I simply want her to stay. I want her by my side.

There’s nothing better than having someone you like by your side.

However, for that reason alone, there is no advantage for Christina to remain here.

I closed my eyes.

The image of Christina reflected behind my eyelids.

She is the reason I have played “The Apostles of Arinasia” so many times.

Because of her, I was able to play “Apostle of Arinasia” for many weeks, and she helped me out a lot in combat.

Then you don’t have to think about it to know who will quench her boredom.

“Sariya. Let’s resume training.”

“Huh? What happened to you all of a sudden?”

“Hecate. Starting tonight, I will resume creating the unique magic that I have been slacking on lately. Will you keep me company?”

“Y-yes. Of course, I’d be happy…?”

Sariya and Hecate looked at each other and looked doubtful.

However, if that’s the current situation, I don’t have the time to slack right now.

If she says she’s bored with life, I will give her a new reason.

If she says she’s looking for someone strong, let’s prepare a new wall for her to overcome.

That’s the only way I can repay her now.
