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 41

Episode 41

…But I never expected Reem to be so eager to participate in battles as well.

She’s a major character in the game. Therefore, all her stats are quite high.

Since Reem might even become stronger than in the game, as a gamer, I’m looking forward to it.

I hand over the usual set of accessories for reinforcement, and the home tutor, Garing, looks at Reem and Inaesia.

“Well then, shall we start by seeing your current abilities in a fight together?”

“Understood. Inaesia-san, may I ask for your assistance?”

In response to Reem’s question, Inaesia tightens her expression slightly and nods.

“Of course, please.”

“You don’t need to hold back. I’ve also learned swordsmanship to some extent.”

With these words, Reem picks up a practice sword nearby.

Although its blade is dulled,so there’s no risk of serious injury,but it’s still about as heavy as a regular sword.

On the other hand, Inaesia holds a practice spear and takes a stance.

It seems that Reem’s preferred weapon is a sword, while Inaesia’s is a spear.

In the game, there were no restrictions on weapons for each character, but indeed, these were their initial equipment.

While pondering this, Garing smiles and then looks at the two.

“Well then, please begin.”

As soon as he speaks, Reem closes the distance rapidly.

She’s fast. However, since coming to this house, Inaesia has been training quite rigorously herself.

Inaesia seems to be able to keep up with Reem’s movements and leaps back to maintain distance.

A spear requires maintaining a certain distance to fight effectively. Otherwise, its reach can’t be fully utilized.

While retreating, Inaesia thrusts her spear forward.

Her movements are also efficient… It’s proof that Inaesia trains diligently every day.

Reem seems to have judged that she can’t close the distance yet, so she parries the spear.

It’s still within Inaesia’s favorable range. Reem dodges left and right while looking for an opportunity.

After several exchanges, it’s likely that Reem has the upper hand in terms of current stats.

Inaesia seems to understand the difference in abilities and is relentlessly trying to bring Reem down… but she’s having trouble landing a decisive blow.

…Reem is stronger than I thought.

She’s definitely stronger than the Reis-kun when I just newly reincarnated. If Reis-kun had tried to harass her seriously, his body would probably be battered by now.

Inaesia’s expression becomes a little grim. Continuous attacks should consume quite a bit of stamina.

Reem doesn’t miss this opportunity. She kicks the ground immediately and swiftly approaches Inaesia.

Inaesia grimaces and jumps back to secure a favorable distance once again.

At the same time, she swings her spear for a feint, but it lacks power as she’s jumping.

Reem targets that moment.

She swings her sword to deflect the spear, causing Inaesia to drop it from her hand.

As the merciless clanging of metal resounds, Reem closes the distance to Inaesia and thrusts her sword at her neck.

“…That’s enough.”

The voice of the tutor echoes, and the mock battle comes to an end.

Inaesia clenches her fists in frustration, while Reem smiles.

…They’re dependable kids.

Inaesia’s name might even be among the representatives of the soldiers after the fall of the Validor family.

“How was it, Lord Reis?”

Reem asks with a smile.

“Hmm? Yeah, you’re pretty strong.”

“…However, I don’t think I’m at the level to be compared to Lord Reis yet. I want to work harder.”

Is it because she’s seen Ryō fighting?

I don’t want to delve into it too much, so I casually brush it off.
