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

[Advanced Search.]

　I invoked detection magic.

　As the name suggests, it is a magic to “search” for something.

　This time, the target was a “”miasma“”.

　This is an aura emitted only by evil beings.

　Of course, the demon tribe also emits a strong presence of this.

　Therefore, if I searched for the place where the “ (miasma)” was drifting, there was a high probability that the demon tribe was there.

Where is it?

　I turned my attention to my surroundings while activating the detection magic.

　100 meters......500 meters......1000 meters--.

　As I expanded the range of the target more and more,

“......!”

　Before long, there was a ping that touched my senses.

“There he is. ......, southeast, maybe two kilometers. ......?”

　Let's get to it.

“Flight.”

　I cast flight magic and flew in a straight line.

　All of these magic techniques were mastered in about a month or so.

　Raven is still a genius in magic.

　Not only were the [Fire] and [Thunder] spells already mastered brought up to the highest level, but after reading a few magic books, I was able to use most of the spells I had never mastered before.

　This guy can become extremely strong with just a little hard work. ......

　I was even stunned in my own way.

　On the other hand, if he had been a hard worker in the game, the protagonist would not have been able to beat him no matter how hard he tried.

　Thinking about that makes me feel a little relieved.

　If I continue to work hard in the future, the protagonist will probably not kill me.

　--Well, that's aside.

　I flew in a straight line, and soon I was approaching the source of the miasma.

“There's .......”

　I gulped and cleared my throat.

　I couldn't see it, but I knew there was something a few hundred meters in front of me.

'...... a human sorcerer?‘

　Zuzu .......

　A black silhouette appeared, blurring out of space.

　A horn sprouting from the top of its head, wings on its back, and eyes as red as flames.

　A high-ranking demon balm gale.

　I recognized it immediately because it looked exactly like the figure I had seen in the game.

My name is Raven. I am the new lord assigned to this town”.

　I told him who I was without hiding.

“Really?　What does the new lord want with me?“

I'm here to talk with you.

　I told him straight out what I wanted.

“Talk?　With me?“

Yes. The high-ranking demon tribe Balm Gale.

　I look at him.

“You know the name ......?“

“Can you give a moment to talk to me?”

　I don't take my eyes off him.

　To be honest, I wasn't sure how he was going to react.

　He could have come at me out of the blue.

“......, well, okay.”

　After a moment of silence, Baumgale nodded.

　We entered a back alley in town.

　There was not a soul around.

　If a battle were to break out, it would be best to avoid collateral damage.

“What's the matter?“

　He asked.

“I want to ask you straight to the point. What is the purpose of you demons?“

“What do you mean by ......“?

“The demons originally attack humans, don't they?　I heard that some of them even eat humans.“

“I don't deny that we demons have violent impulses. There is no denying that there is a ferocious urge amongst us demons. Destruction. Hatred - a negative impulse. But...”

　 He said.

“There is currently a cease-fire agreement between our demon realm and the human world. So the demons will not run rampant with such impulses.

“Then why are you here?”

　I look at him.

'If you have no intention of attacking humans, then why come to the human realm in the first place?　Why don't you go live in the demon realm?”

'......Wherever I live is my own choice, isn't it?“

It's true. But from our point of view, we humans feel threatened by the mere presence of a high-ranking demon tribe roaming around a human town.

“I would never harm a human. As I said before, we have a cease-fire agreement between us.“

“But there is no end to the number of people being attacked by demons.“

　I interrupted him.

“You yourself seem to be carefully concealing the fact that you are not being exposed, but I have the evidence. I have proof that you eat people at night.”

　I grinned at him.

　Of course, I have no such proof.

　But this guy - in the game storyline, he was a cannibalistic demon creature.

　And he had been doing it for more than a decade.

　If that's the case, then at this point, Bamgale must still be hiding in the shadows of society and continuing his “cannibalistic” activities.

　If this world is progressing according to the scenario of “El Cid” as I know it, then....

“You say you have evidence ......?”

　Oh, good, he's biting.

　It's like I couldn't get through to the heart of the matter, right?

　Well, I know all the truth.

　When it comes down to the grit, I have an absolute advantage.

“You're eating humans to build up your strength in preparation for the new “Demon King War” to come. And that will be the order of the new Demon King--Arvis.”

......!”

　His expression stiffened.

　Silence fell.

　There is not a single piece of evidence for what I said.

　It's all a bluff.

　But it was also a well-founded bluff.

　After all, I was telling the story as it was set up in the game.

“Kukku .......”

　Bermúgail gave a small laugh.

“Funny, human .......”

　The laugh grew louder and louder.

“I underestimated you a little. I thought I'd covered up all the evidence, but ...... you know so much, it seems you've got a lot of information about us.“

“So what would you do?“

“I'm going to kill you.‘

　With a thud.

　The huge wings spread out from the back of the balm gale.

“The movements of the Demon King must not be made known yet. Until the coming day of the great war, you who know unnecessary things, I will take care of you here ......!“
