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

“Wow, I can't believe that Raven has changed his mind so much.”

　That day, I had a visitor.

　She had long golden hair that reached her back and beautiful eyes that reminded me of blue jewels.

　She was a beautiful girl of my age.

　Her name was Matilda Theodore, and she was dressed in a gorgeous dress.

　She is the daughter of the Countess Theodore, a family that shares influence with my family, the Countess of Draxel, in the kingdom.

　She is also my fiancee.

　However, Matilda hates Raven, and in the game, she plays the role of taking the protagonist's side.

　To tell the truth, Matilda is glaring at me with a furrowed brow.

I have to say, I'm not surprised, since she was never really happy with our engagement.

“I'm having second thoughts about .......”

　Hmm?

Matilda and I have met a few times, but the atmosphere is different from previous times.

“I hate people who sit on their talents and don't work hard. That's why I hated you too. But you've changed, haven't you?“

　Matilda smiled.

“What do you think, Kisara? I heard that Raven has been practicing magic for the past month or so”.

“Yes, Mathilda. Raven is practicing magic every day. As far as I know, he has not missed a single day in the past month and a bit......“

“Heh.”

　Matilda's eyes narrowed.

“How did Raven manage to do that? I still can't believe it.　What the hell happened to him that made you do this?”

“...... Nothing. I just thought things were going badly.“

　I answer Matilda.

　Yeah, I'm not lying.

　I didn't tell anyone that I was a reincarnated person.

　I was afraid that they wouldn't believe me if I told them, and also because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to tell them if it was something I wasn't allowed to say.

　Why was I reincarnated in a world that resembled a game?

　Was there the will of someone, say God, at work there?

　I don't know anything.

　As long as I don't know, I shouldn't carelessly reveal anything to others.

　I don't even know what kind of punishment penalty awaits me there. ......

“Anyway, I want to be stronger than I am now. I've been given the gift of magic. I just thought I'd try to hone it.“

“And ...... next year I will enter the magic academy. I want to be the top of the class if I'm going to be admitted.” 

I gave Matilda a reasonable answer

Yes, I am 14 years old now, and next year I will enter a magic academy.

　Incidentally, Matilda will be entering a magic academy like me.

　In the game, Raven and Matilda were classmates.

　And the protagonist will also enter the academy in the same year.

　One year to go until I meet the protagonist - the one who will kill me.

　In the meantime, I'm going to hone my skills as much as I can!

“‘Oh, so you're that type of person,’ she said.

　Matilda looked at me.

“I'm also aiming to be the best in the academy. You're not like that either, right?‘

“Well, I'm ...... nothing like that.”

　Kisara waved her hands in the air in response to her question.

...... wait a minute, you're going to join the magic academy too?

　I looked at Kisara in surprise.

“Did you ever have a talent for magic, ......?”

“Yes, I do.”

　Kisara nodded.

　I had never heard of it.

　I didn't find any such information in the game.

　Maybe it's a backstory?

　Or--.

　Or - it could be that this world looks exactly like “El Cid,” but in fact the minor details are different.

“Did you not know that?　You really don't care about other people, do you?“

　Mathilda looked at me with a puzzled look on her face.

“I am not good at interacting with people, and I have shied away from learning magic with ...... a large number of students.“

　Kisara looked at me.

I changed my mind when I saw how hard Raven-sama has been working lately. Seeing how talented you are and how hard you are working, I want to give it a try.

Kisara, you also aim to become a magician in the future, right?

“No, no, it's just a ...... dream.”

“There's nothing wrong with that. “

Thank you, Lady Matilda.

“You can call me just Matilda.”

　Matilda smiled brightly at Kisara who bowed.

Matilda smiles brightly at Kisara, who bows to her.

“We're going to be schoolmates eventually, aren't we?”

“I am terribly sorry. ......“

　Kisara was determined.

I'm so formal,” she said. But maybe that's what I like about Kisara.

　I was thinking about one thing as I watched the two of them interact.

Kisara is going to enter the magic academy.

　If that were to happen, it would be different from the storyline of “El Cid” that I remember.

　Does it mean that Kisara's actions and future have changed because of my behavior?

　If so, that would be a great comfort.

　Depending on my actions, the future - the storyline - will change.

　Then, the future in which I die may also change.

　No, I will definitely change it.

　I will definitely change it,

“By the way, I heard that a demon tribe has recently appeared in this neighborhood. Raven, be careful. Of course, you too, Kisara.“

　Matilda suddenly changed the subject.

“Demon tribe?“

“A high-ranking demon tribe called Balm Gale.‘

　Matilda answered my question.

“There is a cease-fire agreement between the human and demon realms, so it is unlikely that at least mid-level demons will attack humans, but just be careful.“

　--Dokudon.

　The heartbeat accelerated.

i know a lot about the Balm Gale, the demon tribe.

They are characters that play an active role in the game.

　The protagonist awakens through a battle with this Balm Gale.

“...... wait. Maybe.”

　If I defeat Berm Gale....

　The protagonist's awakening event will be eliminated.

　The possibility of me being killed will be reduced.
