I Was Reincarnated as a Nameless Combatant in a Japanese-style Fantasy Depressive Erotic Game, but the Women Around Me Are All Dangerous, and I Have a Bad Feeling about It

sed her time to perish.

 

　The “Four Evil Ones” who once plunged the capital into the depths of terror together with other youkai and literally piled up piles of corpses along the city streets have been defeated by the “Seven Exorcist”, who is now a famous and infamous figure in other regions of Japan.
Even the “Kuuban,” the man who gathered an army of monsters from all over the country, or even the continent, and caused the all-out war against humans called the Great Human Youkai Rebellion, was defeated by the heroes of the time.

 

　So, nowadays, there are not so many monsters as old as her or even older and more powerful than her, at least not in this Fuso-kuni.
Though the existence of Youkai is still a great threat to humans, it is not as great as it was a long time ago.
And in the next thousand years, if not in the next hundred or two hundred years, the monsters will probably no longer be a threat to humans.
That's why…

 

　”Hey, hey, I told you before, didn't I? The only reason I was hiding in that place was because I was looking for a man who was good enough to kill me.”

 

　However, the monster is talking aloofly with her cheekbones.
Yes, her purpose is indeed a selfish and annoying one.

 

　All of her past compatriots have been killed.
And as the heroes' favorite foes, they left their names in history forever.

 

　Then she too, who is about to be forgotten and become a thing of the past, wants to leave her name behind like her compatriots of the past.
Even if it is a part of the brilliant achievements of the heroes, before the time comes when she will be left behind and “dealt with” as a nobody, while she is still feared by the people as Youkai.
This is the reason why the monster has infiltrated the Kizuki family.

 

　Now, she was checking the Kizuki family, which has its roots in the north of Fuso, to see if there is anyone worthy of defeating her.
In the course of her search, she happened to meet the main character of the original story.
She observed the spirit, talent, and ability of the original main character, and examined him to see if he was worthy of avenging her.
And she cooperates with him to help him to grow up to be worthy of killing herself on the bright path to becoming a hero…
at least, that was the original purpose.

 

　But depending on the route of the main character's liking, he may develop an unforgivable interracial love relationship with her, but in the end, he may not be able to overcome the barrier and kill her, or he may have a bad ending where he is killed because he hesitates to do so.
Well, I personally don't mind the former case because it doesn't bother people around me…
or I actively encourage it…
but in the latter case, the monster goes crazy in the latter half of the story and starts “taking it out” on the surrounding unrelated people and ends up fighting to the death with the army dispatched by the Imperial Court to defeat the monster.

 

　”Demon is really selfish.
If all you want is to be killed, why don't you just storm the capital? But to be so selfish and stingy in the arena of death?”

　”That's exactly why I'm a demon.
I deserve a proper stage for my death.
Just a few lines in a record book is a lonely way to die, don't you think? If I'm going to die, I'd like to die in a dramatic scene as much as possible…
or should I call it a demon's passion?”

 

　The monster in human skin smiles as she closes her eyelids and says so.
But I know it.
I know that she is imagining the moment when she will fight to the death with the rare hero of her time, washing herself with his blood, and in the end, she will be decapitated by her own power.

 

　”You're crazy…”

 

　I give a little snide look at the thrilled expression on the monster's face.
I could never understand that way of being.

 

　It's been nearly twenty years since I was born into this world where death is so close at hand, but even now, or maybe that's why I can't understand the thought.
Or maybe I could have sympathized with them if I didn't know about my previous life…

 

　(Is it because I know my previous life that I am a coward to die?)

 

　If I had only known a world where life was light from the start, I wonder if I could understand the thought of seeking honor rather than life.
At least in my previous life, death was not close to me, so I was afraid of dying even though I was reincarnated in this world.
And that was certainly the driving force that kept me from not giving in, and from struggling to grab hold of life, even though I was in an untenable position, to begin with.
Oh, damn…
aren't I tired? Seriously…
don't get distracted.

 

　”…Let's get back to the point.
I know what you want.
That's why I don't understand you.
Your goal is to find a hero to kill you.
But all you're really doing is messing with me.
I don't see a connection between the two.
You know I'm just a lowly servant with no special powers or origins.
None of the elements that you see in me would be of any use to you.”

 

　Or rather, I don't even want to be.
The being in front of me who dreams of being killed by her ideal hero or heroine is a selfish and self-centered demon.
She expects and hopes for the best, and if it deviates from her goal even a little, she feels betrayed and goes on a rampage.
In fact, her selfish disappointment is one of the reasons why she has not committed euphemistic suicide until the start of the original game.
In fact, there were many people before she met the main character who was killed for no reason because they made a small mistake that was unpleasant for her when she thought she liked them, as the creators revealed in the fan guidebook.

 

　I mean, if I make a mistake in raising her likability, she actually gets mad and I suddenly get gutted, and the game is over.
What a monster, I have no idea what she's thinking.

 

　Anyway, I have to take a deep breath for now, enduring the pain and pushing down the drowsiness and exhaustion.

 

　”…Or what? Am I some kind of plaything for you to pass the time? I don't know what to say to a demon who only tells lies, but it would be easier for me if you said so.”

 

　I blurt out with a self-mocking chuckle.
It is possible.
Monsters are greedy, arrogant, selfish, and pleasure-seeking beings regardless of their intelligence, especially oni (demon), many of whom are Youkai-ized from human beings.

 

　”Good grief, you're always unfriendly to me, aren't you? Do you really think I'm going to prepare a meal for someone who's just passing the time? If you keep talking to me like that, I'm going to cry from sadness, you know?”

 

　She makes a crying gesture.
Of course, there is no other way for a demon to cry but to lie and cry.
In fact, when she sees that the crying spell doesn't work, she lets out a sigh of relief.
Rather, shouldn’t I be the one who sighs…?

 

　”…!?”

 

　Suddenly, my vision is dizzying.
I get a headache, and I'm drowsy as hell.

 

　”Oh? Are you tired? Hahaha, of course, you've had a hard day.
Sorry, I interrupted your sleep on the way here, so if you want, I can take over the night watch for you.”

 

　The demon smiles happily when she sees me wobbling around.
Is this monster doing…?

 

　”You've got to be kidding me…!?”

 

　At this point, my nose finally notices the faint smell of something strange.
It seems she's using some kind of suction-operated sleeping pills or something…!!

 

　My spear slips out of my hand and the spear falls to the floor.
My shoulders slump and my eyelids grow heavy rapidly.

 

　”Well, you're a very persistent one.
In this kind of trick, the skilled ones are caught so easily.
So, I'm surprised that you persisted for so long.
Oh, I remember that you personally get resistance to poisons from your acquaintances in the medicine men's group.”

　”You…
why…
are you…”

 

　I spun the words in my sleep.
It meant two things.
Why she knew about it, and why she was doing this to me…

 

　”Well, well, it doesn't matter, does it? It's better not to push yourself too hard.
This is health advice from a demon, you should be obedient to your body's needs, okay? Don't worry, I won't eat you in your sleep.”

 

　Don't…
be kidding me…!! Your…
demon's…
words…
are…
not trustworthy…

 

　”Good night.
I hope you have good dreams.”

　”Shut…
up…
you…
monster…
when…
you…
will…
die…”

 

　I didn't even have time to finish my line of questioning before the demon spat out something that reeked of lies, and my consciousness was darkening…
