Chapter 107: CH 1.18

Chapter 1. [Episode 18]

[Then you don’t know either?]

[Yes, …… sorry I couldn’t be of more help.]

[No, don’t worry about it. I just think there’s something in that book.]

I ask Rena everything I know as I sit on my bed in the dormitory assigned to students at the school – I’m a special student, so I have a private room – but she has no idea.

[The compound where you served was in the Northern Territories, I believe?]

[Yes. It was a mansion, but it was a small viscount’s house. My parents were servants married to each other, so I was always taken care of there since I was very young.]

While she was growing up there, she realized by accident that she had tremendous power.

After that, through twists and turns, she enrolled in a military academy, an institution for training heroes, and was officially recognized as a hero after working hard at training and studying hard.

[I’m just a little concerned about something. When I was in military school, I remember hearing that elves’ blood has a rejuvenating effect on humans.]

[Rejuvenation, huh? Such rumors have indeed been circulating for some time. A report from a man who had been scouting for a long time in the empire included some idle talk about how eating dragon flesh would give you the greatest power.]

[Yes, I know, but it’s not as if anyone tried it, and it was rare to see elves in the Empire in those days, to begin with, so I’m afraid I don’t have any more information than that.]

The reason why Rena, who is a human being despite being a hero, is still alive for more than 500 years while maintaining the appearance she had back then is because I made her a demon.

The ritual to turn a human into a demon involves several steps, one of which affects the blood. The ritual is to make the opponent drink my blood, the demon king. The disadvantage of this method is that it is completely useless to anyone but the powerful. A mere human being who takes even a drop of my blood in his mouth will die, unable to withstand the rush of power.

Rena was equipped with the power of a hero, so the ceremony was a success and she is still my companion. …… She is no longer a human being in exchange for that. She’s like a half-demon.

In any case, the only way for a human being to live an unbelievably long life or to become young again is through the existence of such rituals. But, on the contrary, it is the only way.

As for the dragon meat I mentioned earlier, there are plenty of people who have practiced that stuff. It is even mentioned in history books as a delicacy. Naturally, there is no way to attain the highest power.

I have heard rumors that if one eats the flesh of an immortal in the sea, one will become immortal, but I do not know of anyone who has become immortal through such an act.

…… Let’s put aside for the moment whether or not elves’ flesh and blood can rejuvenate you at this point. The question is what was written in that book.

[The wise man of the forest has disappeared. It is the plague of disaster. The arrogant fool dyes his body red and laughs high. It seems possible that this is a metaphor for the fact that humans fed on the flesh and blood of elves.]

[Certainly, yes. One interpretation might be that he ate it, or that he slaughtered it and bathed in its blood.]

[I don’t think …… humans can be rejuvenated just by being bathed in elf blood. But if the number of those people is huge, it could be a different story.]

[Could it be that humans massacred the elves? But if there were such instances, they would be in the history books.]

[No, it’s possible that he just ‘disappeared,’ ostensibly. I don’t know if it was a disappearance or a drowning, but it may not have been anything that would have been recorded in history.]

[So you’re saying that the author of the book knew some facts and wrote to tell them?]

[Hmmm …… but I guess that’s as far as I can go. If possible, I would like to question Ludio Lambert.]

[Lucifer-sama, would you like me to investigate the Great Library of the Mildiana?]

I look at Rena, who is correcting her residence.

[No. The place you are looking for is probably protected by a strong sealing technique. If you destroy the technique, there will be no problem, but we don’t want to leave any traces.]

[…… sure. Then is there anything I can do to help you?]

[You just need to be here, though.]

When I say this while holding Rena’s chin, she refutes it with her blushing cheeks.

[I am also Lucifer-sama’s third wife. If I merely serve by his side, I don’t know what he will say to Lumiel, who must be dying of boredom with nothing to do at the moment.]

[Hmmm ……. I don’t have to worry about her.]

[How about we investigate to see if any elves are committing wickedness? We might be able to figure out what is going on with the elves.]

[But that puts you in danger.]

Oh, no. I must have slipped up.

Rena stared at me with her dark purple eyes.

[I may look like this, but I am a former hero. I won’t be so careless as to fall behind those small villains.]

She is quite stubborn. Proud, you might say.

It was this personality that made me like Rena.

If she had given in easily when we captured her 500 years ago, we would have cut off her head immediately because of the loss of interest.

I have brought her to the Empire. Is it necessary to entrust her with tasks other than personal care?

I say, stroking Lena’s silver hair.

[All right. Then we will now try to find out the cause of the elves’ disappearance.]

[Ha! What should we do in case we encounter something?]

[Just wait and see. But in the case of a crisis, you can take care of them. You can make that kind of judgment on your own, can’t you?]

[I will be happy to help you. Please leave it to me!]

[Before I go any further, let me tell you that regardless of your ability, there’s a good chance you’re going to end up wasting your time. Don’t expect too much and miss the beat. …… Don’t make the same mistake I did.]

I remember that no one was even interested in the demons, and I feel deflated again.

[Yes, I am aware of that. If Lucifer-sama’s reason for staying in the empire is to pass the time, my reason for serving by his side is the same. I only hope that something interesting will happen.]

[…… mmm, I hope so.]

After that, Rena immediately went to investigate.

[There is not much I can do about this at this stage. It would be a simple collection of information.]

After all, it’s only the disappearance of an elf. As a demon, I have nothing to do with it.

However, even a case like this is somewhat better than continuing to live a boring school life. If the contents of the book are true, it could be a clue to something that happened in the past in the empire.

The reason we came to the empire was also for fun. If that becomes boring, you want something a little more stimulating.

How much fun will this one be for me? Frankly, I’m not holding my breath, but I’m looking forward to it.

I lay down on my bed and thought about things.
