I was reincarnated as a villainous aristocrat with a certain death route.

"Hmmm... ......”

　Lestia is looking at me with interest,

　Lestia has the “brainwashing” ability.

　If he is going to “brainwash” me as in the game storyline, I probably won't be able to resist.

　But even Lestia is uncertain if the brainwashing will work on me.

　And if the “brainwashing” failed, I would surely turn into her enemy.

The demon lord would think that using “brainwashing” would be a kind of a gamble.

　In addition, I even proposed an “ alliance ” to him.

　If that is the case, she would not want to risk antagonizing me any further.

So she won't use "brainwashing" so easily.

"I guess I'll just have to wait and see."

　After a long silence, Lestia said, “We have to come to a conclusion right now.

"It's not a problem that we have to come to a conclusion on right now. The invasion of the Demon Lord's army is originally scheduled for three years from now."

　Three years from now - that is, the year of my graduation.

　The game storyline is also in line with that.

"That's fine. There's no need to give an answer right away."

　This is - for me, too, it's a perfect situation.

　I'll keep her as immobile as possible.

　In the meantime, I'll continue my training and obtain the power to defeat the Demon Lord.

I will surely obtain the power to overcome even brainwashing.

'Well, that's all for today. See you later."

　Lestia turned away.

　I kept my eyes on her back without losing my tension until the end.

　I had made it through for the time being.

　But the threat of the Demon Lord already exists.

　I have to get stronger.

　One more goal has been set for the time being.

　For the time being, we are effectively in an “alliance” with the Demon Lord.

　Of course, I have no intention of seriously joining forces with him.

　It's just to buy time.

　In the meantime, I must acquire the means to resist “brainwashing."

“Welcome back, Master Raven.'

　When I returned home, I was greeted by Kisara.

　She had already changed into a maid's outfit, and with her fox ears, her cuteness had a tremendous destructive power.

　The feeling that had been bothering me just a moment ago was suddenly soothed.

"I'm back, Kisara."

　I smiled.

“Are you troubled about something ......?”

　Kisara asked me worriedly.

"Hmm?"

"You looked very serious just now, you know?”

　Kisara stared at me.

　Well,......, I can't tell you everything about the truth.

　As well as the fact that I am a reincarnated person, there is a high possibility that Restia is the Demon King,......, and if people know about it, there is a high possibility that other people will get involved.

No, I was just ...... thinking about my magical training."

“Magic training, you say?”

'I was wondering how to deal with the mental domination kind of magic."

"Oh, it's a countermeasure for the intramural tournaments. As expected of you, Raven-sama. Even though you have such power, you are still not the least bit careless."

　Oh, she misunderstood me nicely.

“You don't know anything about that, do you, Kisara?　That kind of training."

“I think that to counter [mental domination], you should make [mental barriers] stronger...”

　Kisara thought for a while and then said.

'I believe it was in the mansion. Training equipment.”
