Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

Fortunately, I have been enduring since I was a child, so I can probably get used to it.

".... Although I am used to this kind of thing, it is really annoying."

As Ash sat by the river and washed the blood on his body. Even if he accepted the reality, he was still depressed about the current situation.

And in front of him, with her back to him, Aura, who was soaking in the water and washing the blood, was shaking her long pink hair freely and sighing:

"I say~ Ash, can you stop saying something annoying behind others' backs? I should actually have a good figure, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, your figure... well, it's hard for me to evaluate."

Ben was still staring at the blood in the water, and subconsciously looked up at the loli who was performing a wet temptation not far away.

Even though she was only fourteen years old and very small, she was already slightly ups and downs, which made him look forward to her future growth.

Although as someone who has watched her grow up since childhood, Ash now has the urge to kick the guy who is twisting her butt in the water and send her to the bottom of the river to drink water.

But since he always bullies and drives her, he should treat her a little better from time to time, right? ——With this thought, he silently turned his eyes away and stopped looking at this irritating guy.

"This is..." As luck would have it, Aura also noticed his action, and couldn't help but put his index finger on his lips, tilted his head and thought for a moment, and then a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face:

"——Ah~ I understand! This is shyness, right?"

"... Yes, yes, I am shy."

It is said that the demons are cold and selfish. This guy is selfish, but why is his emotion so obvious? If the credit for the acquired education is indeed mine, right? Because the influence I give is not what the normal demons would give? ——Ash put one hand on his forehead and tried to think of something else, not to teach this guy who was too proud of himself and even took all the credit for himself. It was just...

"But I really can't figure out why I taught such an infuriating thing..."

"I say, Ash, you always make some very excessive comments about me from time to time... Do you actually hate me?"

"How could that be? You are my most beloved sister."

"Really? But there is no expression on your face? Is this the attitude you should have when talking to your lover?" Aura walked out of the water and observed Ash, who was reading with an expressionless face, from a close distance, with a puzzled look on her face.

Unfortunately, Ash didn't intend to pay attention to her, and didn't even want to complain about her strange "lover" statement. He just washed his hands with cold river water, then stood up and walked towards the bushes from where he came, without looking back:

"......Have you washed? Go back after washing, otherwise the meat will be taken away by wild beasts or monsters."

"Hey~ Ash, you are really boring."

"Have some respect for your brother, bastard."

"I also want to have respect, but you are too little considerate and loving to your sister, and who would call their most beloved sister a thing and a bastard?"

"In fact, all humans are like this."

"Huh? Is that so?" Aura was surprised when she heard it, and subconsciously followed, while thoughtfully admonishing:

"Humans are really barbaric, Ash, you are a demon, how can you learn from those barbaric guys?"

"......"

What should I do? This guy really believes it. Should I tell her the truth? Forget it, it's quite interesting, let's do it this way first - Ash walked in front, covered his face and worried for a moment... and then decisively put this problem behind him.

Anyway, it's not a big deal, so it's better not to worry too much, and consider countermeasures when you really find something wrong.

...........................

Ash and his eccentric sister spent another year happily together in the big forest.

Without anyone to protect her, Aura, who lacked sufficient combat power, built a servant army of nearly 100 at an astonishing speed like a snowball with the help of Ash and the controlled beasts and monsters.

Over the years, the two who have basically figured out the layout of the forest just shuttled through the dense jungle and soon arrived at the human village near the forest.

There was no resistance, and the controlled servants occupied the village with a landslide, almost effortlessly, without bloodshed.

Looking at the villagers gathered in the center of the village, trembling, Aura said proudly without any hesitation:

"——From today on! We are your masters!"

"From today on! You have to cook for us!" Ash then said his biggest wish now.

This made Aura a little dumbfounded: "... Ash, are you too unrealistic? Shouldn't you kill them normally?"

"What are you talking about? Isn't it good to have someone cook for us? Or do you want to cook for me yourself?"

"——Sure enough, I'd better keep them! Although they are some barbaric humans, they still have some value."

Although her instinct was to kill, the idea of ​​not wanting to work, as well as the memory of being ordered around by Ash and treated rudely over the years, made her forget her instinct in an instant.

When they saw the demons leading nearly a hundred wild beasts and monsters, there were still a dozen hunters who wanted to resist, but the gravity created by Ash's hand made them all lie on the ground, and the others had to give up resistance in despair.

It was just the conversation between the two that gave them some hope, and Ash stood up again at the right time.

"Don't worry, everyone, we are good people... no, we are good demons... that's not right, um... anyway, we are good demons."

Speaking of which, what do humans in this world think of demons? ——The first contact with humans made Ash look at the people below with a little trouble in his heart.

Although the system is a pitfall, you can become stronger by killing, but the actual effect of making a wish is really puzzling, and if you are not careful, you might be regarded as a demon king first, and he doesn't like to kill innocent people, so he still chooses to grow up in a wretched way.

The Buried Flyllian: Thousand Years to the Present: Chapter 5: Entering the Human Village

The villagers were skeptical about the guy who suddenly appeared and led a large number of monsters and beasts to besiege the village. They really couldn't believe what Ash, a "human" who mixed with the demons and claimed to be a demon, said.

Yes, in terms of appearance, he looked completely human, without any demon features, and it was difficult to distinguish the two.

If it weren't for the magician who had a deep understanding of the demons, he could judge by the breath, and ordinary humans would basically be unable to tell the difference between the two.

Ash also noticed this, and it might have been more convenient to say that he was a human.

But there was Aura next to him, and it was better to be honest at the beginning than to expose and destroy trust later, so he was too lazy to pretend and spread his hands and said:

"Don't judge people by appearance. In fact, I am a demon, but we don't plan to kill people, so I hope everyone will cooperate with us."

"You said... cooperation?"

In the crowd, an old man who was suspected to be the village chief came out.

"Yes, as long as you take care of us, we can protect you from monsters and wild beasts. How about that? It's a good deal for you who live by the forest, right?"

"....Really, just like that?" The old man was half-believing and half-doubting.

"You can learn about this in the next cooperation. Of course, you are not allowed to leave here and go to other villages or places with people."

Compared to explanations, actual actions are more effective, so he didn't explain too much and forced the cooperation between the two.

And led by the trembling villagers, they went to the best house in the village.

Soon, the villagers served them food under the supervision of the monsters.

On the table were cheese, bread, and soup with milk, even meat dripping with fat after being roasted, and the sweet aroma of roasted chestnuts was also wafting.

All the smells that constantly exuded various appetite-stimulating smells made the two people who spent their childhood like wild people in the mountains look at each other and reach out tacitly, and fight for it without caring about the past feelings.

They don't need to worry about being poisoned. According to their own understanding, ordinary toxins are meaningless to the demons. Even if there is a poison that can poison the demons, it is impossible for this village to have it.

It was under the influence of delicious food that Aura completely chose to believe in Ash's judgment after this meal and decided to settle here together.

...........................

In the beginning, the villagers were panicked, but with the help of magic beasts and beasts, the success rate of the villagers going up the mountain to hunt rose sharply, and the probability of injury also decreased linearly. It was even as Ash said that they were no longer threatened by the outside world.

Those controlled beasts and magic beasts can also help with farm work, greatly improving efficiency and helping them to open up new fields.

In the winter of the first year, no one in this poor border village even starved to death for the first time.

This made their mentality change rapidly. In the third year, they built stone statues for them and protected them as guardian gods... Just to avoid being considered heretics, they silently removed Aura's horns.

With the support of the villagers, Ash and Aura could concentrate on studying magic and eat delicious food every day.

Therefore, after the first year, they basically relaxed the restrictions, or... allowed the village chief and several villagers who voluntarily accepted control to move freely and go out to purchase freely after being cast with obedience magic by Aura and unable to betray them.

However, in fact, except for the order to commit suicide if betrayed, their activities were exactly the same as before without issuing additional orders, except that they could not disobey Aura's orders and betray them.

For ordinary villagers, a life of food and clothing with mental constraints and mental freedom that could starve themselves and their families to death... It seems that there is no need to worry at all.

Although a shackle appeared, in this medieval era, people were hungry and full, and even starved to death in the poor border villages.

The kingdom they were in was still at war with the neighboring countries, and various taxes were also quite heavy.

It was also through this human village that Ash knew the structure of this world, and now they are in the southern countries.

This place is quite far away from the northern continent where the demons’ base camp is located.

Therefore, only scattered demons are here, and the threat from demons is much smaller, which also leads to wars between countries from time to time.

Everyone wants to annex the other side, but no one can annex the other side. They are still frequently waging wars with each other. The recent wars seem to be quite fierce, resulting in two war orphans who have drifted here in this remote village.

....It was also the two foreign orphans who came to escape the war who gave Ash a lot of information about the outside world.

"No matter which world humans are from, they like to kill each other after all?"

In his spare time from practicing magic, Ash looked at the wheat field in front of him and sighed a little about the current situation of his country, but he quickly put those boring philosophical questions behind him.

The setting sun sprinkled on the golden wheat fields beside the building. As the wind blew across the earth, the wheat waves rolled, like a golden ocean undulating in the breeze.

Everything he saw was peaceful, unlike the border villages of war-torn countries. It was so peaceful that he could not help but become lazy. Ash lay on the grass beside the village, leaned against a tree trunk and closed his eyes silently, wanting to take a good nap.

Unfortunately, before he could fall asleep, at this dazed moment, a hesitant and old voice came from the side:

"Master Ash... It's almost time for dinner. Master Aura is still in the room. Today is the third day. You really should go and see her, right?"

"It's okay. The demons won't starve to death in three days. She must be concentrating on studying magic." He looked back and saw the old village chief with an expression that seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Compared with Aura's closed-door study of magic, the fact that humans care about the demons' affairs is even more interesting to him.

But this is not surprising. Now they have reached a wonderful tacit understanding with the village. For the time being, no one can leave each other... and humans can't do without them - or Aura.

The Buried Flyllian: Thousand Years to the Present: Chapter 6 The Broken Daily

Ash said indifferently that he didn't want to care about Aura at all, which made the old village chief feel awkward. He didn't know what to say.

But he didn't care too much and stood up, walked straight into the village, and said without looking back: "Don't worry too much, that guy will come out if he is really hungry."

"Is... that so?"

"That's it."

Shrugged nonchalantly, he didn't explain any more, and went to the room that the villagers had built voluntarily last year.

The villagers he met along the way would also greet him with a smile.

Inside the house, food was already placed on the dining table. The middle-aged woman who was in charge of cooking was about to go out, and she smiled and nodded:

"The weather has turned cold recently, Master Ash and Master Aura must eat while it's hot."

"Thank you."

Ash just nodded slightly, and then sat in front of the dining table and ate alone in silence. He was too lazy to call Aura... After all, if he disturbed him, he would get angry.

Simple food was placed on the rough wooden dining table.

Rough bread, homemade cheese, freshly roasted meat and fresh vegetables, which were not good, but much better than the life of the savages in the past.

Ash quietly enjoyed his dinner, without much expression on his face, but his eyes showed a kind of satisfaction and tranquility, and he seemed relatively satisfied with the current situation.

However, in this calm and peaceful atmosphere, dusk also quietly spread in the depths of the room, and a feeling of impending rain was faintly revealed.

The wind outside the house began to blow gently, causing the leaves to rustle, as if nature was whispering something.

Now he naturally knew that there would be some problems when humans and demons coexisted, but no one knew when this problem would happen.

Therefore, he did not think too much, and was still immersed in this quiet dinner, enjoying this moment of peace and tranquility.

And the problem he was worried about finally happened one afternoon in late autumn, but... the problem was not quite what he imagined.

..........................

In the afternoon of late autumn, the sun became soft and warm, and there was a hint of coolness in the air.

The sky was deep blue, with a few white clouds wandering leisurely. In the distance were farmers busy harvesting, and in the near distance were leisurely cattle and sheep, and the occasional chirping of insects and birds.

Everything was so comfortable that Ash couldn't help but lie on the haystack made of wheat, basking in the sun and taking a nap.

However... when he was half asleep and half awake, his shoulder was kicked for no reason.
