Reincarnated as a Villain That was Killed Before the Game Starts

While Ixis was processing Kokegashira, I decided to gather information in Feather and a village down the mountain.

Though I thought it might be because Keefa's village and water sources are the same, the disease also seemed to be endemic due to the effects of Kokegashira.

It seems that the people of this village believe in this disease, which produces demonic grass from cockerel.

"During the rainy season, Master Kokegashira descends from the mountains. But killing it has long been said in the village that the sneak will happen."

Apparently Kokegashira is considered a mountain god.

He was the head of the village, and if I visited an old woman named Best Knowledge of the Village, she told me an old story.

Long ago, my ancestors killed Kokegashira, who came down to the village. That would have led to severe thunderstorms for three days and three nights, and the village said it was experiencing an odd disease.

There was a record of yellow cockerel growing in the body and grass growing in the body.

After we went out to the kingdom of the Beasts, it continued to rain on the territory.

There are four seasons in this country and the climate is very similar to that of Nihon.

It's early June, just around the dawn of the rainy season.

To the pretend, I recall what was written in the demon atlas in the game.

Kokegashira is growing in the head area when it keeps raining. It was written that cockerel can become itchy and violent and come down to people.

While my head was itching and rumbling this time, I guess I came down close to the crowd.

Every time in the village at this time of year, there appear to be casualties caused by Kokegashira.

I managed to do it every year by offering offering offerings and sacrifices to Kokegashira, who is considered the god of the mountains, but this year was a little different.

The neighboring territories have recently become young and new lords here.

He said he arranged a crusade to stop that nagging habit.

"I still shouldn't have gotten my hands on Master Kokegashira. I've been punished."

The old woman speaks heavily.

Her hands were also covered in orange cockerel, with grass growing.

Although my son's daughter-in-law offered us tea that only one person was not ill at her house.

Keep your mouth shut on that.

"Is there anyone in the village who can use the magic of dark attributes?

"There's no way I'm here. Magic is a privilege of nobility."

Ask and the old woman will answer.

There is no room for ordinary people to go to magic school. Probably natural if you think about it.

Conversely, there are places in the game where nobility can use magic as a matter of course.

That house was this attribute magic expert, or that kind of information was flying.

I now confirm that it was such a worldview, like a magical equals great.

Although the protagonist of the game was not a nobleman, he was admitted as a privileged student due to the peculiarity that all the magic of the six genus could be used.

I guess expecting a wizard of dark attributes from a villager is something of recklessness.

But if you're a lord who sends out crusaders, if you tell me what causes the villagers' disease, I feel like you'll arrange a wizard as well.

We should meet and talk once and for all, including why the crusader for the exorcism of Kokegashira was Prince Levine.

I was just leaving the village chief's house to thank him, and Feather pulled the sleeve of my clothes.

"Lord, won't you cure the old woman's illness?

He looked like he could do something, but he couldn't measure my will to not.

You're a sweet, righteous kid, and I feel like I know a new side of Feather.

"... that's important, but we have other things to do, Feather. If you found out you can cure your illness here and now, there's a chance people will come together and you won't be able to move, right?

"Sure. The Lord is acting in anticipation of the future."

Convinced by my words, Feather turns his respectful eyes to me like he was shallow in his thoughts.

There's a problem with me squeaking out, the lord of the neighboring territory, and it should be quicker to get the lord to report the illness and take action.

You can't use magic in the first place! That scratch is in the direction of through.

After breaking up with the village chief, I'll take a look around the other houses.

It was the same as the village of Keefa on my territory, and there was a strong difference between houses that were sick and houses that were not.

I took a sample of the well water and, as Keefa said, it smelled slightly vanilla.

After a while, Ixis picked me up.

Ten Cokegasillas all pulled up from the river by Ixis.

Coquettes other than the new four had already turned gray and turned into powder, he said.

From those three bodies, the orange cockerel was stripped, and the body, along with the other cockerels, was buried to return to the earth.

"Even if the host dies and doesn't get magic, Koke seems to be alive for a while. However, I think it will wither after about three days without gaining magic because of the decay of Cokegashira."

"So is it okay if I drink the water in about three days?

"I can't say for sure, but probably"

If you make that prediction by listening to the report, Ixis snorts.

Unlike forcibly sucking magic out of cockerel, like Meir, three days seems necessary when it comes to waiting to wither naturally.

"I really wish I could use the magic of purifying water."

That said, Ixis sees Feather all the time.

Feather had the power of Hilda's water attributes.

"The magic of purifying water...... wait a minute"

That said, Feather closed his eyes.

"... Is that, possibly, the magic of Getel?

Feather slowly said something like that when he thought he had put his hand on his chest and shut up, as if to concentrate on his inside.

"I feel like I could probably use it. Lord, can I give it a try?

"What, Feather, can you magic?

Straight feather stares at me and confuses me.

Feather, a little away from me, then closed his eyes by posing to hold his right eye.

The figure looks just like me for imitating my brother before and fabricating a magical spell-like look.

"I live in the atmosphere, water. Strike that power and shake it. I, Answer Feather's Voice -" Ice Song (Sigrill) "!

Feather casts a spell in a heavy tone and waves.

I could see that it was under my bad influence.

There's no way I can do magic like this...... if that's what you think.

After a little while, the magic formation formed in its hands, and something like cold air came out.

Soon, about the same volume of ice as mine appeared in front of Feather.

"What!? Feather, can you do that light!? Why!?"

"The Lord loved me when I made the covenant. I secretly tried to make money and I could do it."

Feather speaks in a slightly lit manner to me in a hurry.

"What do you say? It's all right, isn't it?

Feather stares at me, as he wants me to compliment him.

"Oh, yeah. For beginners, can I give you the full point? Then put a getel on the well water there."

Pointing to the well and saying it, Feather nods that he has figured it out and calls it to the well.

Oh, my God!

I can't believe Feather, the disciple, can already use magic......!

It's something you can do even though you didn't tell me!?

"You seem to be better at using demons than the Lord."

"Ugh..."

He reads emotions. Ixis laughs when he sees me with nothing to say back.

In front of him, Feather was casting a Getel spell as he posed to hold his right eye.

Maybe you're assuming you can't use magic without doing that pose.

I pulled up the well water and the scent of vanilla was gone.

I can't even drink it and make sure, so I don't know if the effects of cockerel have disappeared with the naked eye.

But the magic formation had also emerged, and Getel, a status anomaly and purification magic, probably succeeded.

The fact that water can be purified is a pleasure.

If they use magic so easily and so lightly, the main thing is... it feels complicated.

Once back in the mansion, break up with Feather.

Feather, along with a relatively trustworthy servant in the mansion, decided to go around the village and have the well water purified.

How far the power of purification penetrates and how long it will hold.

Will that water also be purified when new water contaminated by cockerel comes in?

I'm not sure about the details, but just in case I decided to have the well water around purifying Kokegashira mountains as a source of water for the fourth day.

But just in case, I gave instructions for drinking water to continue from here for four days, or from a nearby village with a different source of water.

"Can you come with me, Ixis, because I want to talk to the lord next door?

"Okay. But before we do, we're gonna take a break."

Sure, Ixis is right, we need a break.

We had lunch early and left the mansion, but it was already evening. I've been flustered all my life, so I was losing my sense of time.

As soon as I realized it, a loud noise rang from my stomach.

"Ah..."

My face turns bright red. Look at me, Ixis squirts.

Then unexpectedly naturally, I was stroked in the head.

"You worked pretty hard today. I've been prepared for a long battle since I heard of sickness, but thanks to Meiko for cleaning it up so quickly. You got one breath to go, and let's do our best, okay?

Ixis smiles at me and unwittingly rounds my eyes.

I didn't expect you to praise me that way.

Ixis looked at me like that and then tilted his neck a little strangely.

Then I grab my hand, which was stroking my head like it was annoying.

He looked like he'd accidentally touched me.

"Look, we're just going to eat. I'm hungry because I moved, and troubles are limited to cleaning up quickly."

Ixis walks ahead, saying he really wants to take a bath right now because it's muddy.

Touch the hair that still feels caressed, somehow.

I immediately chased that back.
