How To Live As An Academy Extra Villain

22 – Legacy(2)

“Isana. You’re climbing too high. I’m an aristocrat who is the second class even as a member of the Empire, and I’m in a position to have an equal deal with your master. Even so, it’s a shame that you, a mere servant, show me such an insolent attitude. Do you think that’s right? If you really think so, right now…”

“Ah, okay, I got it!! It was a joke!! Anyway, it’s hard…”

As soon as I noticed that I was about to shoot, Isana immediately lowered her tail.

Even so, it could be said that adding a useless word at the end was really her style.

Actually, no matter what Isana does to me, I don’t feel very offended.

My current net worth is not even a real aristocrat.

She was just trying to say something because she hated what she was saying, but it seems that she also recognized the fact that she had made a mistake.

But even this outgoing woman doesn’t think about it at all.

“We’re there. That’s Mount Falana.”

After entering the Demon Realm and walking for another day, I finally began to see the place I was aiming for in the distance.

In the direction Isana pointed her finger at, there was a mountain that was not very high, isolated on a flat land.

Are the items I’m looking for really there like in the game?

Anxiety seeps in little by little, and I feel my heart beating faster and faster.

Let’s stay calm.

Anyway, if you have a little bit, you can check it right away…

Following Isana’s guidance, I began to move little by little towards Mt.

“Isa Sana, but why can’t you see the rest of your blood relatives? I’m sure I heard that this area is your residence.”

It’s been quite a while since we entered this land, but we were curious because we had never encountered a demon other than her, putting the name of the demon world to shame.

Isana, who was ahead of her, answered without turning her head.

“Our people are migrating deeper into the continent during this season. When the moon is full, they’ll come back then.”

According to her explanation, the demons didn’t settle down in one place like us, but seemed to be living in a semi-agricultural and anti-mocking system.

In addition, from my memory, the East Continent was much larger than the West Continent where the Empire was located, and the number of demons was not that great compared to humans.

If so, it might be natural to be so inconspicuous.

I felt a bit disappointed because I wanted to face the other demons in real life besides Isana, but on the other hand, I also felt fortunate.

If I couldn’t find the hiding place of the Demons, I had no choice but to go over to the Demon Realm and contact it, but I almost wandered around this wide place.

“We have arrived. This is the entrance to Mt. Falana. What do you plan to do now?”

After discovering the mountain and walking for a few more hours, we were finally able to reach the bottom of the mountain.

Isana, who was in front of me, turned her head and asked, but I was far behind from where she was because I lost my stamina thanks to the sweltering climate of the Demon Realm and my oversized body.

“Heh…heh… Like I said before, I go up the mountain by myself. You said you also have something to do, so let’s finish each other’s business and meet again here. But Isana, is your land really this hot?”

“Ugh, I’m weak… I used to have a lot of warm days, but not this much. In recent years, it’s suddenly become this hot, and neither witch doctors nor astrologers know why. Oh, maybe you know. ? If you know the reason…!”

“I’m sorry. I really want to help, but I don’t know anything about it.”

“…Tch, what… You act so proud as if you know everything, but the most important thing is…”

I answered Isana’s words while wiping away drops of sweat.

I didn’t know it well at the beginning of the demon realm, but the more I went into it, the hotter the climate was, and the withered shrubs were common everywhere.

Seeing it with my own eyes, I can feel that something is definitely wrong.

“…But is it really okay? If I go alone, there won’t be anyone to protect me even if monsters come out.”

Isana seemed to be concerned that I might end up in danger while traveling alone.

Actually, when we entered the Pandemonium, we encountered quite a number of monsters, but all of them ran away when Isana just glanced at them.

Perhaps because they were creatures heavily influenced by demonic spirits, the monsters seemed to be very afraid of the demons, who were considered to be of a higher species than themselves.

‘Wait, monster? Are you afraid? no way… ‘

“Isana. I’m just asking, has a troll attacked your village recently?”

“No, how on earth did you know that? Could it be that you unleashed surveillance around our village? You, you, master, you said that you would never reveal our identity to anyone else, and then you can’t do that…!”

“ha…”

I just threw this out there just in case, but I never thought it was true…

According to Isana, East Hall was attacked by trolls in the middle of the night about ten days ago.

And I tried my best to drive it out of the state transformed into a human, but I couldn’t inflict a fatal wound due to some restrictions on movement. In the end, the moment I released the transformation to catch it perfectly, the troll felt Isana’s powerful energy and was scared. that he had fled into the dark.

Listening to what she said, the timing was just right, and the approximate size and area of the wound roughly matched what we had confirmed.

Apparently, the trolls that lived in the Demon World crossed the wasteland and attacked East Hall, where they were defeated by Isana and fled to the vicinity of Makni. I thought maybe it was.

However, it was said that the wound was inflicted while transformed into a human…

In a state where the body’s power has not yet been demonstrated… ?

And later, these guys will come in droves?

Wasn’t our estate the first to hit that wave?

It’s a terrible future that I don’t even want to imagine.

At this point, I could keenly feel that the demons’ physical abilities are far superior to those of humans.

“…I thought it would be dangerous to continue tracking because it was night, so when the sun rose the next day, I was going to send the chasers…but it was the season of spring rain, so all traces were erased…I thought he would die as it was because he left deep wounds…Anyway, Horrible resilience…”

As if she was worried that the deal would go awry due to her immature handling, Isana was looking at me with her eyes rolling when I said that the person on our side was hurt.

“Don’t worry. I don’t intend to hold you accountable. It’s a pity that people were injured, but maybe we were able to hunt him down easily thanks to you weakening him like that…”

“That…yes…? Then what…”

“By the way, Isana, how often do the monsters living in your land cross over the wasteland and invade the western continent? Considering that there are no records of this on our side, I don’t think it’s very common…”

“You’re right. Most of them live in the inland area, so there’s not much to see here, and even those who escaped due to territorial disputes are caught and destroyed by our trackers. But now, all blood relatives have moved to other settlements. Besides, since Mother Earth got sick, the behavior of the monsters has changed a bit from before… But we’re the first ones to come out like this openly.”

After all, as I guessed, the appearance of trolls seemed to be a precursor to the Magi overflow.

And if so, there is no law to prevent this from happening again.

As soon as I got back, I decided to make a suggestion to my father that the border to the east should be much stricter than it is now.

But what excuse should I use for this?

I already feel like my head is pounding.

From noble mtl dot com

“Okay. I think I’ll have to talk to Paine-sama about this. And I can handle at least one or two monsters with my own power, so don’t worry. Then, let’s break up and see you in three hours.” .”

“…I see. Don’t die, Westerner.”

As soon as Isana finished speaking, she turned around and left, and I immediately started climbing the mountain without delay.

I didn’t mean to tell her to go alone without thinking.

The holy water I have now could also be used as a weapon that can inflict great damage on demonic creatures.

I’ve confirmed in the game that it can work up to a fairly high rank without any problems, and in the first place, the current location is only the entrance to the demon world, so there is no need to worry too much as powerful demons do not live there.

‘Surely Paine said there was a cave near the mountainside… ‘

About half way up, I stopped climbing upwards and started moving sideways.

And finally, I was able to find a large rock rising at the foot of the mountain and a small hidden cave behind it.

“really… Hey… ”

I headed towards the entrance of the cave while struggling to suppress my pounding heart.

It looks like an ordinary cave with nothing special on the outside, but if this is the place I know, there must be an invisible secret hidden there.

I lit the light with my magic and kept going inside until I reached a narrow alley that I could no longer enter.

I stopped moving any further and started searching by shining a light or banging my fist on the nearby cave walls.

And after about 10 minutes or so, I was finally able to find some trace that I wanted so much.
