These are my stats, and Great Wiseman announced it through my command with his robotic voice.

It's been like that ever since I became a human...

It's been 49 years since I've been stalking— I mean "Observing" the conqueror of flames, Shizue Izawa, as a human.

(A/N: 1 year before canon)

Being back as a human is a bit challenging...

They need IDs to enter cities and all, thus I became an Adventurer...

And honestly, there are only two things that I found intriguing throughout my journey...

Books, and food.

Humans can make some weird books and food. I don't know if it was an otherworlder, but why do porn mags exist in this era? It makes no sense.

Ah, I don't forget to visit Veldora every month. We've built up some casual relationship... Maybe. If only he'd stop acting like a chuuni, being a tsundere dragon he is, seriously hurts my eyes when I tried to hold a conversation.

But other than that, I'm starving.

Currently, we're in the kingdom of Ingrassia. I stayed for a few days just to eat some food and laze around all day.

In reality, I came here just so that I could observe that Shizue Izawa... She's been going to the Freedom's guild frequently these days.

And coming up with an Identity myself is quite tasking.

My current name is... Well, Osamu Dazai. My original name from my past life.

And... I'm a normal human being.

It's easier as I don't need to create new names now...

Well then, it seems like the conqueror of flames will stay in this town for at least a year, so I guess it's fine for me to go out a bit before following her once more.

*Chop* *Chop* *Chop* *Chop* *Chop* *Chop* That was me, chopping carrots and potatoes. I was trying to make a curry...

Even though there is no rice in this world. Hahaha, bread is good.

Yes, bread is good. Huh? What are you looking at? I'm happy with bread, you see?

Haaah... *JAB* *SPLATTER*

AH?

≪Report. 『Pierce Resistance』 successfully acquired.≫

Owie... The kitchen knife goes through my hand. I think I did it on reflex, I did stab myself on my limbs between my radius and ulna back when I was in my past life... Exactly the reason why I wore so many bandages around my body under my garments before.

(A/N: Biology people, biology.)



(A/N: Notice that Red dot, yes, he stabbed himself on that place.)

Even after becoming a demon I can't help but stab myself if one of my hands were to hold a blade or anything similar...

Old habits die hard I guess.

During the dark ages, I look like a chuuni with bandages even though I don't say things like "My eye is twitching" Or "A power dwelled within me".

Well, other than that, I should really patch this (my bloodied hand) up.

.

.

.

I get out of town to hunt for monsters near the town. It was a Request from the Guild.

But this human body feels a bit hungry afterward, and during my strolling, I found a camp near a river...

The camp was empty, there was only a grilled fish near the fire...

Before I knew it, my hand moved towards the fish since it was quite tempting.

"Hey, you!" *BOOOM* Swiftly I dodged an attack from a new assailant.

The culprit was a blonde man in armor.

Even though the blonde hair looks like a wig, he looks exactly in his teens and... What the hell? He looks like Rudra.

"SNATCHING THE FOOD OF THE GREAT MASAYUKI IS INEXCUSABLE!! NAME YOURSELF, BOY!!!"

Ignoring what he says, I look at the figure behind him, an old man. He has a mustache and a big beef body. He is armed with protective garments, but I can't help but be frequently distracted by the baking uniform and chef hat on

top of his head.

"Boy, we could just catch another one you know? Rather, It's just a grilled fish..." The cook in armor told Masayuki.

Masayuki, huh... Ah, right. There are rumors about a new hero called Masayuki circling around the humans...

Well, for now, let's try to hold a conversation, "Is that fish yours?" Thus I asked.

"Yes it is! I catch it myself after all!" He exclaimed.

"Okay, can you give it to me?" (Me)

"HELL NO—" (Masayuki)

"I'm hungry so, won't you give it to me?" (Me)

"GIMME, GIMME, GIMME, GIMME YOU'RE NOISY! JUST HOW DID YOUR PARENTS RAISE YOU, YOU DAMN BRAT?"

"*Sigh*, so will you give it to me, or not? You're making me stuffy, kiddo."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A 'KID'!?? YOU'RE SMALLER THAN I AM! AND WHO'S MAKING WHO STUFFY HUH!?"

Suddenly, *Rattle* that sound came from a bush...

Both Masayuki and I look at the sound. It was a black-haired girl that was hiding from everyone else.

"M-Masayuki onii-san... Are you okay...?" The girl asked.

"О-онн, Chloe-chan! Give me a moment! I am going to take this scoundrel, and beat some sense into his foul nature with my fist of love!" Uwaa... He's a lolicon.

I turned my glare at the girl as the girl flinched in fear... *Sigh....*

"Alright..."

"Hm??? What do you mean by 'all right', kid!?" (Masayuki)

"I'll give up on getting all of it. So share a bit of it with me, please." Urk, it's been hard to say "please" Ever since I became a demon... It feels as if it left a bad taste in my mouth.

But it somehow still applies to me no matter what race I have become.

"WERE YOU NOT TAUGHT HOW TO SPEAK TO OTHERS, YOU BASTARD!?" (Masayuki)

"What's the problem? I won't compromise any further." I calmly stated.

But to my dissatisfaction, he gritted his teeth in anger and says, "You are not... IN ANY POSITION TO SAY THAT, DAMN YOU!!" He stated that as he dashes forward, trying to deliver an attack with his fist.

Even if I dodged it... He's quite fast.

But so I am.

Both of us realize we would enter a fight, so I sway my trenchcoat and bring out my claws.

And he grabs the hilt of his sword in response.

But before we could fight... "KYAAAH"

"Little girl!!" Not far from our fight, the previous bulky man with chef garments under his protective armor is trying to save the girl that was held hostage by a Giant Bear.

"Chloee!!!!!" Immediately, Masayuki turned his attention and shouted.

He leaped at the bear and sliced an arm that was holding Chloe hostage.

The girl falls off to the ground and... "Chloe-chan, are you alright!?"

"Masayuki Onii-san! In front of you!"

*Thud* Now that is unusual... The giant bears are moving in a pact.

"What the hell!??" (Masayuki)

"Lad, this is bad... We should've asked for Yuuki-san's help!" The chef warrior said.

Well, the bears are not looking my way so... Meh.

"Heeeey... " I called, taking their attention.

"Was there only fish over there?" I asked nonchalantly.

"HAAA!??? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT NOW, OF ALL TIMES!? THERE WAS ONLY FISH, BUT WHY DOES IT MATTER!?"

"Well, I've lost any reason to remain here so I'll be leaving now."

To which, the hero blocked an incoming attack from the bears while spouting "Eh?"

But later, he look at the grilled fish that they were fighting over... "YOU'RE KIDDING ME!!!" The arm of the bear that he previously sliced off landed on top of the food squashing it with its weight.

"Out of all place—" *Clink* "It went flying—" *Clash* "All the way over there!???" The hero clashed with the bear as he complained between his attacks.

"Hmm... That looks tough, but do your best, old man." Well, I stated that while walking away slowly.

"WAIT, HOLD ON A SEC! IF YOU KNOW IT'S TOUGH, THEN HELP ME OUT!" He stated.

"I refuse... Why should I have to work for free? That's absurd. Although, I can consider it if you have any fish left for me." I feel if I don't eat now I might die, and while I do desire death, dying from starvation might hurt even if I have pain resistance...

"Y-you bastard... Fine! If you help us I'll give share some of the Cheese Cake from Yoshida-san made for me this morning!!" That made the Chef with armor looks at him.

Eh... Cheese Cake? I am hearing that right? Cheese Cake? In this medieval world???

Immediately I stopped in my tracks and turned at him.

*Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *STOP*

"Cheese Cake, what is that?" I asked with a flat deadpan tone.

It gains his anger in response, "YOU DON'T KNOWWWW!? IT'S HIGH-CLASS SWEETS! ALL PEOPLE IN INGRASSIA KNOW THEM!!!"

"Hooh~"

High class? Ah... It might be the work of an otherworlder.

A scene where an otherworlder makes some new type of confections which end up being so popular while in reality, it's just some daily meal in our previous world...

"Lads! You better stay focused! I can't bring them down by myself!!" These are the Chef warrior's words.

"You're telling the truth, right?"

"You think I'd be lying now!?" (Masayuki)

"You both! Save the young miss!!" (Chef)

"Kyaaaah!!!" During our comical banter, it seems like one of the bears snatches Chloe with one of their hands.

"Oh shit! Chloe!!" (Masayuki)

However, the furred arm of the bear stopped midway.

"It... Stop? What did—" Masayuki turns his attention to look at the bear.

The bear was looking weird to him as he saw the monster with something missing on its upper part.

The giant bear who was threatening the life of the little girl is now headless.

Not just the giant bear that held the girl hostage, but most of them.

"What the—"

The Giant Bear began to collapse as both Masayuki and the cook in armor looked at the blood-gushing headless bear with horror.

"Wait, no! Chloe—" But Masayuki immediately shook off his fear and confusion and focused his thoughts on the little girl.

"Heeelp!!" *SWOOSH* "Easy now..."

The girl was caught by me. We both descended to the ground slowly as she the girl stared at my face.

"Hey, shorty. If you're gonna stand up, then stand up. Otherwise, you'll be in the way of the fight. Go somewhere to hide." I stated.

"Eh... A- ah! Yes!" She said as she move away from my cradle.

Now then... "I guess I'll have some bear meat today as well."

*SWISH* *SWISH* *SWISH* *SWISH* *SPLATTERRR*

That day... It rained blood.

Under the presence of the black figure were thousands of raindrops that drenched everything in red.

Well, "Hmm... The Bear stew I had yesterday was a bit hard, I guess I'd cook them a bit longer today." *THUD*

The man in black nonchalantly stated with a comical face while he stared at the collapsing body of a whole pact of the headless Giant Bears.
