I was reincarnated into another world and became a witch so I want to live a slow life but the Demon King won't let me go.
[HAPPY BIRTHDAY]
Translated by: ME
That day, I died.
I'll spare you the reasons and causes.
I, Tachibana Miya, who worked as a secretary at a certain small company, had died. There were several jobs I wanted to finish and worrying matters, but since I was dead, there was nothing I could do.
The next moment after I understood that I had died, holding a strange sense of liberation as much as regret, my body felt lighter and I felt like I was wrapped in something warm. A dim world spread out.
"Oh, you're finally awake."
I blinked at the unfamiliar voice. Before my eyes was a peerless beauty. Moreover, she was half-naked. Sensual clothes that hid her glamorous skin with only a small amount of cloth. It was like the clothes of a demon I'd seen in manga.
"For a newborn, you have a very firm gaze. Can you speak?"
Newborn? Not understanding the meaning, I blinked repeatedly and the beautiful woman smiled gently and said this:
"Good evening, little lady and happy birthday."
I was reborn as a demon.
Apparently, I was born from the crotch of a withered tree at the very edge of the Demon World.
Demons basically don't have parents and they are born when magical power solidifies into the shape of a living thing and a self is born or a soul enters. I was one of those and at first glance, I'm a normal girl, but my body is a mass of magical power, so I'm in a very unstable state. If I don't put in effort, I shrink or grow ears.
The one who spoke to me was the demon witch Hiiragi. She happened to be there at the moment I took shape and opened my eyes.
"It's rare for a humanoid, and especially a girl, to awaken properly from the beginning."
Probably, the soul that had the self called me entered the mass of magical power that was here, so it took this form.
However, my appearance has changed considerably from when I was living as Tachibana Miya. Fluffy hair with a mysterious color like the night sky and pure white skin. A small face with round, apple-colored eyes. I feel strange myself, like a doll drawn in a picture.
At first, I couldn't accept it, but the surroundings were like a dark forest. In front of me was a half-naked beauty. My appearance has completely changed. If I pinch my cheek, it hurts, and I clearly remember the moment I died. If this isn't the afterlife, I had to come to the conclusion that I had been reborn in a different world.
Strangely, I didn't feel sad or frustrated. I don't feel much attachment to my previous life. When I thought about it that way, I suddenly felt relieved.
"Um, Hiiragi-san. What should I do now?"
"Oh, just call me Hiiragi. Adding 'san' is gross. Well? We don't have anything we have to do, so why don't you just live as you like? You won't get hungry here."
"You don't need to eat?"
"That's right. There's a lot of magical elements in the place where demons live. You can replenish your energy just by breathing."
Should I be impressed that I'm a demon? Hiiragi told me various things as I was frozen in surprise.
In this world, there are places where demons live, places where humans live and places where gods live. The boundaries are ambiguous, entry and exit seem easy but difficult, connected but far apart. Demons have a demon king who provides minimal governance but there aren't any major rules in particular and as long as they don't do evil deeds recklessly, they can live as they please. They age slowly and their bodies are strong. Magical elements are the source of energy, so there's no need to eat in places where demons live. What an easygoing race!
"I sometimes go to places where people are and do business. People are interesting. Money isn't very useful here, but it's convenient when you want to buy things in the human world."
Saying that, Hiiragi gave me a coin. It seems to be currency in the human world. It's sparkling and beautiful, but I don't understand its value at all. I deeply felt that this was truly a different world. The currency in this world was a dull-colored square.
In places where humans live, you have to eat from time to time or you'll run out of energy, so it's mainly used to buy food. I'll keep it for something in the future.
"It's fate that I was there when you were born, and it seems like it would be tough to stay here, so should I take you to a place where there are many companions?"
"Please!"
When I replied eagerly, Hiiragi smiled bewitchingly and took my hand.
Hiiragi took me to the castle town of the Demon King's castle. It was the center of the city where the Demon King was and ruled the demons, and there were many kinds of demons. It was like a big city, just like the mysterious and eerie world in picture books. On the streets, lizards were selling purple fruits while breathing fire, and small cats were standing on two legs and reading books.
"I run a small tool shop near here."
Hiiragi took me to a back alley a little away from the center of town. Hiiragi spends her time in a small shop with many tools that I've never seen or heard of.
"You can stay here until you find something you want to do."
I decided to fully rely on Hiiragi's words, and I decided to make getting used to this world my first goal and live here.
