Chapter 2 – The Issue at Hand*
There were few things an infant could do
They received food fro to instinct, and did their business
It was just these three at most
However, Luru had what infants nor ability to think
Because of that, he was able to consider thing, and arrange the infor his ears up
Fronised that he held his , each day he would listen up for the conversations that went on in his home, and a number of facts became clear to him
What he learned about in most detail, was of course, information about his own family
According to the conversations that his mother and the servants had, it seems that their family name was Cadisnola
In other words, Luru’s real name was Luru Cadisnola
It seemed that his mother’s name was Medea Cadisnola, and his father’s name was Patrick Cadisnola
They had probably said their naht after Luru was born, or perhaps around the tis had calmed down but unfortunately, Luru had no menised hi, so it was only recently that he was finally able to hear this from a conversation between his mother and a servant
Of course, just knowing the nah to satisfy Luru’s thirst for knowledge
At present, Luru wanted to know a great nus
That’s why he actually wanted to hear about reater detail
To that end, he had considered asking his ht now he still hadn’t reached the age where he could talk yet, and it would probably have been odd for hi
That’s why for nohen he was hungry, or wanted to defecate, he would just cry and screa real words
Even so, his mother and the servants would still speak to him, so he didn’t feel that uncoently so there was no problem but…
It was just that life as an infant, was to Luru, nothing more than idleness
Eating and sleeping
Once he co busy with office work or fighting as a de, it was such a helplessly idle lifestyle that even right this second, it felt like his ro from it
That’s why after Luru gained self-awareness and gathered information for a few days, he started to wonder if there was anything he could do to kill time
And to that end, he felt that he had to think about what he’d do from now on
Luru had been born again as a hue incident
Though he didn’t knohat kind of life he’d lead fro was
That’s why he wanted some kind of objective
Moreover, there was also the fact that he felt that if he didn’t have a goal, then in the end, he would die without having acco, just like his previous life
And he would hate that
He’d pass on being an idiot ouldn’t change even after dying
In the past, Luru was the de
Right now, he was a human
Being the case, just ould he do from now on? Just hoould he live from now on?
It was a profound question, and yet another issue
It was for this reason that he spent a nu it
For just howover this?
Because of the complicated way in which the body of an infant perceived ti that time, Luru had reached an answer for now
That is, he would live as he wanted It was a very sireat deal of freedom
Could that be called an objective?
Wasn’t it just living randomly?
There were probably people who lived as such
However, if you thought about it carefully, you could probably understand that this was definitely not the case
In his previous life, Luru was the de
Because he was blessed with achild, he had been burdened with expectations, and had most of his life planned out for him since he was small
Naturally, Luru remembered that it would have been unacceptable for him to have lived freely as he wished
And he hadthat he had to answer these expectations
Because he was stronger than any other demon, he also had the responsibility to lead their race
Because of that, he wasn’t particularly dissatisfied with his position as the de
However, it was the truth that because he was in a position of responsibility, there were choices that he couldn’t take
Holding the hand of hu was one of those impossible choices
That’s why Luru painted over his heart, and fought as the incarnation of revenge and war
After all, the Luru in those days was allowed nothing but that
He could do nothing but that
However, it was different now
Right now, Luru was the human child of a lower class noble family, and on top of that, he could feel fro for hihtest
In other words, they wouldn’t mind if he lived as he wished
In that case, I want to live a unbound lifestyle that I couldn’t in ht
And once he had come across that idea, he felt that it was and extre and wonderful one
Certainly as an objective, it was ue
So he feel that
But even so…
He would live as he wished
What an interesting ring that has to it, he thought
And then, not leaving that thought asit
To freely live as he wished in this world
He would absolutely, definitely, do so, he thought
And for the sake of that, what he would probably need to do so, was power, he thought
That the world wasn’t so gentle a place that the absolutely powerless could live in was so that he knew much too well from his previous life
Those who had no power at all would just be wounded, trampled on, and then killed
The dehty power
However, even that powerful demon race had been overrun not seldomly by the human race that used the violence of numbers
