Chapter 2
Fell Off a
Cliff
Translator : PolterGlast
"Ahahahaha!!"
She put her slender,
pale finger to her mouth, her ample chest trembling as she looked down.
Magnificent demon wings sprouted from her back. There were no demons in this
world, but she evoked the image perfectly. The cloudy sky swirled violently
around her as if she were the eye of a storm.
Her beautiful golden
hair fluttered as she turned her crimson eyes towards the girl. A one-eyed man
stood beside the girl. He was also missing an arm, and his handsome face turned
towards the woman, biting his lip.
She must have been in
her mid-twenties. The revealing, tight-fitting black dress further accentuated
her beauty. "What? A saint? A brat like you? And you're going to defeat
me?" she mocked the girl. "Don't be ridiculous!" Her red eyes
burned fiercely.
"Yuko, the power
of prayer...!"
"Yes...!"
The brown-haired girl
nodded at the one-eyed man with black hair, clasping her hands together. Her
blazer, a style not found in this country, fluttered. It was considered a sacred
garment in the Five-Leaf Country, a symbol of the saint. The woman—Eldorado—had
committed various evil deeds. She hated people, plunged them into chaos, and
laughed at their suffering.
A great power gathered
around Yuko. The power of the earth, the sky, and the spirits.
Eldorado clicked her
tongue. But it was only for a moment before her crimson eyes and lips softened.
"Really, what a foolish child." A bewitching voice. Eldorado snapped
her fingers—
That was the animated
image inserted into the game.
I lay on the ground,
looking up at the sky, remembering. The wings on my back were a bit of a
nuisance, but it couldn't be helped. The sky had shone brightly for a moment
when I fell from the cliff, but now it was the same cloudy sky as usual.
"That's a
scam..."
I muttered quietly.
Because it is a scam.
Calculating backwards from the current calendar and the year the girl called
Yuko would be summoned, it was roughly three years. There was no way this plump
eight-year-old body would grow into that curvaceous figure. I didn't know about
future prospects, but at least I currently had a flat chest.
"No, maybe it's
just my imagination, or something."
I had been
reincarnated as the villain in the game. That's impossible. As I chuckled
nervously, I noticed a semi-transparent, bright blue window on the right side
of my vision. Of course, I had never seen anything like it before.
【Name】 Eldorado (8 years old)
【Skills】 Illusion Lv. 1, Flight Lv. 1, Cleaning Lv. 3
"…………"
Eldorado's unique
demon skill in the game was illusion. After the animation I had just recalled,
it would transition into the battle mode between Yuko and Eldorado, but that
was a bad ending, a guaranteed loss event.
Yuko would be randomly
summoned to one of the five-leaf countries, and each country had key
characters. You could try to romance them or go to another country and try to
capture a different character, but in every country, there was a mid-boss
demon, and Eldorado was one of them.
However, why was she
called the "most terrifying" and not the "strongest"? In
the battle against Eldorado, you should never bring a male character. The event
I had just remembered was when you brought the one-eyed knight, who was a key
character in Cloudy Country. She would use her voluptuous body and illusions to
manipulate male characters and turn them into her allies. Once that happened,
it became difficult to defeat Eldorado, and you would be attacked by the
character you were supposed to be romancing, resulting in a game over—a
so-called traumatic event.
There was only one way
to defeat Eldorado. You had to raise Yuko's ATK as much as possible and make
her a physical attack specialist. Then, the saint alone would beat Eldorado
into a pulp and defeat her. It wasn't impossible, but it was troublesome, and
it made leveling up the key characters meaningless, only draining the player's
motivation. She was the "most terrifying" and hated character.
Although she had some
popularity among a certain segment of players due to her cute, devilish appearance
as a blonde, red-eyed, body-con character, that was only based on her looks.
But even those looks were strange when you calculated her age backwards.
"Okay, it's definitely not me, I'm fine," I thought as my vision
brightened, but then I noticed the scroll button. The title section was
displayed.
【Title】 Cloudy Country's Most Terrifying Witch [Planned]
"You didn't have
to emphasize the [planned] so much...!"
I could only be
disheartened.
Ugh... With an
indescribable pain in my chest, I just muttered, "It's a scam...!!"
That curvaceous, voluptuous body in the original work was supposed to be an
eleven-year-old? That's ridiculous. Even with the good upbringing of another
world, there are limits. Then there's only one possibility. It's all the work
of Eldorado's "illusion." Since she would be underestimated in a
child's body, she probably used her powers to create an adult form.
A mere kid with a flat
chest, laughing "Ahaha" against the cloudy sky, hiding her true form.
Imagining it made my chest ache.
"Why would she do
something like that..."
I sighed, looking up
at the rustling trees, but surprisingly, it wasn't hard to imagine. Anyway, she
hated people. In the game's backstory, Eldorado's village had already been
destroyed, and she had gone berserk after losing her target for revenge. If she
learned of Yuko's existence, who was called a saint and considered the
representative of humans, she would definitely have flown off on her bat wings.
If I hadn't regained
my memories, I would probably have ended up the same way. Just lying here on
the ground in a daze, before clenching my fists and hating all humans.
(I'm angry, I have the
feelings, but...)
I was already El, and
my memories of Japan were hazy. But I knew that continuing to burn with hatred
was incredibly painful, and her parents were also dead. Since it was a small
village, I remembered everyone's faces, but the only ones I could clearly
recall were the couple from next door and their child, who would occasionally
come to check on me. After desperately
trying to burn up my frustration, I just looked up at the sky in a daze,
suddenly muttering in my heart, "I'm glad I'm alive."
"...Let's run
away."
El loved to make the
house sparkling clean, she was a cute and energetic girl. That's why
"cleaning" was among her skills. Thinking back after regaining my
memories, I was smart enough to wonder, wouldn't it have been wiser if my
memories hadn't returned? As expected of the [planned] most terrifying witch.
Fortunately, I only
had minor injuries and nothing that prevented me from moving. El had lived
alone, so she had knowledge of the forest. The flight skill would be especially
useful.
"I won't seek
revenge."
And I will definitely
never wear a body-con dress.
I stood up abruptly
and vowed. Looking closely at my inner feelings, I still had the urge to shout
"Why?", but I also had a lid on the pot to suppress those feelings.
A rabbit hopped by. It
was quite small, and I realized it was a baby rabbit. I heard the chirping of
small birds, and the leaves rustled. The trees around the village weren't that
different. If so, then the distance wasn't that far yet, and it wouldn't be
strange if they came at any moment. "I have to run. Far away,
anyway." The adults of the village would immediately come to check to see
if the fallen demon was dead. They would search every nook and cranny to find
my small body. That's why I had to run.
"I wonder what El
would have done in the original story...?"
I spoke to calm myself
down. It was a stroke of luck that I had acquired the flight skill. No, perhaps
this body was inherently full of magical talent. A normal demon would have
already been squashed after falling from that cliff.
By the way, the game
window that had been flickering in my vision was really annoying, so I waved my
hand up and down, left and right, and it finally disappeared. It was a familiar
semi-transparent window. Wasn't that supposed to be the skill and title display
that only the game's protagonist, Yuko, could see?
I vaguely remembered
an explanation in the game that it was a mysterious window that only special
beings from another world could see. ...Let's not think about it too deeply.
