Use the power of the Demon King to destroy those reincarnated in another world

Afterwards, Rudolph told Renault that the city where he was now was called "Hanova", and that he was the mayor there. Renault, who had determined the location, then raised the question he was concerned about: "Mr. Rudolph, why are you in that place?" Woolen cloth?"

"My purpose is to investigate. I am looking for the owner of that forest."

"Owner?"

"Starting about a year ago, low-level monsters appeared in the city. There are rumors that there is a master deep in the forest who chases the expelled monsters, and the monsters come to the city in search of food."

Renault understood what he meant. Although I walked so far, I didn't encounter any monsters. Maybe it was because something drove the monsters away.

"I see. Is this master also a monster?"

"Well, it is said that those who have seen it say it is a humanoid beast."

Renault was lost in thought: "Are all your companions in lower-class professions?" Rudolph understood what Renault meant and showed an indescribable expression.

"This is a border town. Adventurers rarely stay here, and there are only a few knights stationed here. For this investigation, I happened to meet them on the way to the royal capital and asked them to serve as escorts. I didn't expect that they would be here. It would be a mistake to encounter a pound bear in a place like that."

"That's it." Renault nodded, and then someone knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Rudolph opened the door, and a woman's face showed up: "The food is ready."

"Oh, really? Thank you." Rudolph replied happily. Afterwards, Renault followed Rudolph into the dining table. In the center of the spacious room, there was a long table with two meals on it.

Renault is thinking: "Is anyone else eating at this table?"

Rudolph seemed to notice it and answered his question: "Usually everyone eats together lively, but today everyone has finished eating." After they sat down, the tempting aroma of the food made Renault salivate.

Rudolph said, "Eat something good for your stomach." As expected, there were only foods on the table that were good for digestion. Still, Reno's stomach felt full.

"Eat slowly...eating too quickly is not good for your health."

"Thank you, then I'll get started." Renault ate a big bite with a casual way of thinking, and then regretted it.

He immediately felt violent nausea, not because it tasted bad, but because he simply "couldn't eat it." You can imagine the situation when food is blocked deep in the throat and cannot be swallowed.

Renault's stomach signaled that it was overwhelmed, and he could only forcefully drink water.

Facing Renault's sudden move, Rudolph frowned: "Isn't it to your taste?"

"No, don't mind. Maybe it's because I haven't eaten for a long time." This was a lie that Renault made up in a hurry. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed strange to say such a ridiculous thing, but Rudolph didn't care and continued to eat.

Renault regretted devoting all his "appetite" to "gluttony". Losing appetite, it turns out that eating becomes painful. Is there anything more painful than this in life?

Renault slowly and absentmindedly put the food into his stomach. Otherwise, he will starve to death. Renault felt very remorseful for his childish and ignorant behavior.

When he was halfway through the meal, he suddenly noticed a large portrait hanging on the wall. The man in the painting looks like Rudolph, but there are some differences.

"Mr. Rudolf, what is that?"

"Um?"

Renault pointed to the painting, and Rudolf raised his head and looked at the portrait: "Oh, that's my brother Grimm."

"No wonder you feel a bit alike." Renault chuckled.

"Huh? Grimm? Grimm Rudolf!?"

"Do you know my brother?"

"How could you not know him? He is the number one person in monster ecology!"

Rudolf smiled happily and said: "Yes, that's him." He seemed to want to show off his younger brother.

However, his expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"I would be happy to meet someone like you who knew my brother. But I'm sorry, my brother is no longer here."

"......Feel sorry."

"It doesn't matter. I'm happy to have someone who knows my brother, and that's enough."

Looking at Rudolph's sad smile, Renault felt uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Why do you care? What's wrong with me?" Renault didn't even understand himself, and his consciousness gradually sank into the ocean of thinking.

"Mr. Rudolf, if you can, could you show me Grimm Rudolf's study? I've always wanted to meet him."

That's not a lie, but it's not entirely true either. It was just engraved as a memory in the books Renault read in his childhood, without any special awareness of that person.

"Well, okay. Just watch it to your heart's content, Grimm will be happy too." Rudolf agreed without saying a word.

After Renault finished the remaining food with difficulty, he was immediately taken to Grim's study. But before that, of course, he was asked to change into clean clothes because his clothes were dirty.

Grimm's study was well organized and very clean. The room is quite spacious, with a row of bookshelves on the wall, densely packed with books, all of which are related to the ecology of monsters and animals.

Renault happily opened the books one after another, and Rudolph looked at him with a gentle smile.

"Can I read here for a minute?"

"It's okay. Then, I want to thank you properly, so I'll ask you to come over to my room later and ask my maid to find out where my room is."

"Yeah, I understand. I'll be there in a moment." Renault nodded, Rudolph closed the door and left the room. Renault immediately pricked up his ears, waiting for Rudolph's footsteps to fade away. Then he turned to the bookshelf instead of the table.

He opened some drawers but didn't see anything worth looking at, and there was something really mean about what he was doing. In other words, Rudolf was uneasy about whether he was being too trusting.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the bookshelf. What is this discomfort? While I was thinking, there was a sound coming from the window.
