I Reincarnated as a Villainous Noble and Want to Enjoy a Laid-Back Harem Life – I Have No Intention of Getting Involved in the Main Story, Just Want to Live Comfortably with My Female Slaves, but Everyone Around Me Keeps Treating Me Like a Hero - Chapter 3.10

After defeating the Explosive Killing of Ninjas, it was time for a break.

The sun was already setting, and night was fast approaching.

It was about time to set up camp and prepare for the night ahead.

“This feels off… I’m supposed to be the master here.

Why am I working just as much as my two slaves during this march?”

While Bohater and Hamenos were busy setting up the tent and preparing the bedding, I was gathering firewood for the campfire and preparing to set up a powerful barrier that would protect us while we slept.

Ideally, this kind of thing should have been left to my slaves, allowing me to relax in comfort.

But there were problems.

First, Hamenos couldn’t use magic at all.

And while Bohater could use magic, it wasn’t her strong suit.

She couldn’t possibly construct a high-precision barrier like I could.

So in the end, I had to do it myself.

“……”

Just to be safe, I concealed my presence using magic while I walked around the perimeter of our tent, carefully drawing barrier lines into the ground.

Building a strong barrier took time and effort.

“……And then?”

“That’s why…”

“I… I understand… but still…”

As I continued my work, I suddenly heard Bohater’s voice coming from behind a nearby rock formation.

“…Even I don’t understand.

Why is the Mimosa Empire still so pristine? It doesn’t make any sense.”

“No.

There’s no one left here.

The people I cared about are gone.

This place is nothing more than an empty shell—it has no meaning.”

“I believe.

I have to believe.

I’ve been alone for so long… it’s the only thing I can do.

Even if you mock me for it, my resolve won’t waver.”

I moved closer to the rock formation, peering around to see what was happening.

Bohater was talking to someone.

Or at least, she seemed to be.

But…

There was no one else there.

She was speaking into empty space.

“……”

And yet, that empty space…

There was something there.

It was not visible, nor could I fully sense it.

But my intuition told me that some kind of magical presence—a concentration of power—was definitely there.

If even I couldn’t fully comprehend what it was, then it must have been something truly dangerous.

What exactly was Bohater talking to?

And from the way she spoke…

What status did she really hold in the Mimosa Empire before its fall?

“…Sigh.”

Whatever burden Bohater was carrying…

It just kept growing.

And I didn’t like it one bit.

With those thoughts lingering in my mind, I decided to step away from the rock formation and quietly return to my work—

Finishing the barrier before nightfall.
