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 3.2

The Milliria Church.

It is the most powerful religious organization in the world, boasting an almost incomprehensible influence. Nearly sixty percent of the global population follows its teachings.

With the Lora Empire standing as its staunchest ally, the Milliria Church’s reach extends far beyond mere faith—it holds an overwhelming influence over the entire world.

“I never expected that the esteemed Cardinal Nanamika herself would grace my humble domain with her presence.”

A Cardinal of such an institution wields unimaginable power.

The mere thought of how much influence someone like her could exert over the world is terrifying.

So why the hell is she here?! And why, of all people, does she want to meet me?!

Even my steward nearly collapsed from shock when he heard the news.

Dammit. Did Bohater actually do something this time?

No, that can’t be right… right?

“Our church has long been grateful for the generosity of House Reinhardt.”

“We’ve done nothing more than our duty as nobles. Thanks to the Milliria Church’s presence, our people have been able to live in peace.”

Despite my thoughts racing, I kept the conversation smooth and diplomatic.

For the record, our family isn’t formally affiliated with the Milliria Church.

However, due to the overwhelming number of believers among our subjects, we do donate substantial sums to the church as contributions.

Ignoring the church’s presence simply isn’t an option.

“Fufu. I appreciate your words. And I, too, am honored to meet the man who has come to be known as a hero.”

“Hahaha… I’m only perceived as a hero because of my appearance. I’ve never once considered myself one.”

“…You do not see yourself as a hero?”

“Not at all. I am who I am. I am no ‘hero’ foretold in prophecy. The title is far too generous. I’m just an ordinary person.”

“…I see. However, the world is yearning for a hero. And then—you appeared. It is only natural that I would come to meet you.”

“The hero will appear—just as foretold.”

There’s no need to rush.

A true hero will emerge eventually.

That’s how these things work.

“…You are right. That is true.”

“God would never abandon the world. The hero shall undoubtedly descend upon us in due time.”

“Exactly.”

I nodded in agreement with Cardinal Nanamika’s words and casually sipped from my cup.

“Now then, Hero, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“……”

I almost spit out my tea.

But I didn’t.

I deserve a goddamn medal for that restraint.

Wait—did she even listen to what I just said?!

Did she seriously just double down on calling me a hero?!

What the hell is happening right now?!
