Kaneko Kazuma Dennō Akuma Zukan	東ドイツの地域に伝わる悪魔。足に鎌をつけており、夜になると畑の穀物を刈り取ってしまう。もともとはドイツ南部やオーストリアから伝わってきた存在で、それによればビルヴィスは、病気を癒すことができる矢を放つ自然精霊であった。しかし、中世末期になると、その役割は逆転して邪悪なものとなり、以降ビルヴィスは悪魔的存在と信じられるようになったのだという。 Translation: A Demon from eastern Germany. It has scythes tied to its feet, and it reaps grain in fields when night comes. Bilwis originally came from southern Germany and Austria, where it was known as a nature spirit who fired arrows that could cure disease. However, in the late Middle Ages, this role was reversed and it became evil, and from then on Bilwis was believed to be a demonic being.
