I, who was reincarnated as the villain character in a game, was secretly enjoying my role as the villain while pulling off heroic moves behind the scenes. However, my actions were exposed to my fiancée, who absolutely despises me - Episode 15

Episode 15

As for me, I prefer to be told rather than kept in the dark.

Garing takes a deep breath and begins to speak, looking up at the sky.

“My family has served the Validor family for generations.”

“Is that so?”

Would there be such a character in the game? …Ah, but I might have heard such a conversation from a mob.

“Yes. My father always told me… That the Validor family of the past was famous as a martial family. They had one of the best abilities in the country and protected the country from the invasion of the Forest of Rebellion. We have the honor of raising children to protect the future of the country.”

…In the past, huh.

The Validor family was indeed a distinguished clan.

However, from my parents’ generation onwards, it declined rapidly, and that corruption seems to be continuing.

Although it hasn’t been passed down to the eldest son, Life, it’s unlikely that the Validor family will return to its glorious days after it’s passed down.

In fact, it’s impossible according to the original story.

In a way, it’s overflowing with talent to have fallen this far in one generation.

“But… um… That’s why… if you were to inherit the family, it would be so wonderful…”

I can only wryly smile at Garing’s pleading expression.

The idea of me inheriting the family holds no benefit for anyone in the family, so it’s not even a story that’s possible.

That family wouldn’t let me inherit it.

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear those words just now.”

“…Yes, I’m sorry.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Garing bows apologetically.

I nod and we head back to the mansion without further discussion.

…My family is really disliked, huh?

I never thought that just because I act somewhat decently, I would be immediately expected to do something.

…But, I do have some thoughts.

Tutors, sergeants, servants, and townspeople.

Even if the Validor family leaves here, many people will remain in this town.

…Thinking about that, it might be a good idea to reinforce our strength a bit.

In the game, you could freely scout various characters and create your favorite party.

By investigating and gathering people who can be allies right away from among them… Probably, the people living in this town could live safely.

For now, while researching various things, let’s utilize my strengthened abilities and game knowledge more seriously from here on.

As I looked into various towns, I found a convenient way to quickly equip myself using game knowledge, so I plan to do it immediately.

This time, the game knowledge I’m going to use is about passwords.

By inputting passwords obtained as you progress in the game and breaking through, I plan to obtain the treasure chests inside.

Originally, it’s from the game world. Even if it becomes reality, there should be parts that can be used.

And now, I’m Reis-kun. If I use that position, I can go to various places more freely than in the game.

The place I visited was a certain village.

It’s a village within the Validor territory, but it’s far from Validor town.

However, since I’ve been there once before, it’s easy if I use a teleportation stone.

It’s a wonderful thing where you can move by consuming magic power at a location where you’ve been before.

Because of this, my spatial magic is being treated as delicate.

It’s only in places I’ve visited once, and I can only move to places where there’s a teleportation magic stone, but since they’re found in most major villages and cities, it’s very convenient.

Now then, here we go.

With the soldiers as my escort, I head to the village chief’s house.

“Lord Reis… Thank you for coming all the way to this village.”

“It’s not a request from my father… I heard there’s a sealed door in the underground warehouse of this village.”

“…Yes. It was discovered recently, but there seems to be something suspicious there.”

“I was told to investigate it. May I take a look?”

“Yes. Here’s the key that connects to the underground warehouse.”

I received the key to the underground warehouse from the village chief!

Well, in a game, a message like that would probably pop up.

With the soldiers, I head to the underground of the village.
