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 44

Episode 44

“…That’s right. Lord Reis is very… impressive. I can’t help but think it would be good if Lord Reis could become the next lord…”

“It’s not wise to say such things too often. You never know who might be listening.”

“…I apologize.”

“First of all, I’m not in that position. Anyway, eventually, I’ll probably end up leaving the house as well.”

The Validor family lost their title, and both parents were executed for abandoning Lady Fylia. The remaining family members scattered.

As for Reis-kun, he enrolled in the academy after that and met the protagonist there… and he became jealous of his talent and fell into darkness.

And in the end, he would reach out to the protagonist himself, only to be easily defeated and killed.

I’m also planning to enter the academy and join the protagonist, but of course, I don’t intend to be hostile.

“…E-Even if that happens, I want to follow you.”

“Huh? Just so you know, if that happens, we won’t be able to live like we do now.”

“…Even so, I don’t mind.”

Inaesia looks at me with a serious expression.

…It’s reassuring to have Inaesia join the party.

“I’ll count on you when the time comes.”

“Of course…! Of course, I will.”

Inaesia’s expression brightens suddenly and she nods.

Reem will enter the academy for learning in the game.

As for Ruf… I don’t know what will happen, but it should still be possible to maintain contact.

With this much firepower, overcoming challenges in the main game shouldn’t be too difficult.

The fifth layer.

It’s about time to start the main game, so I decided to challenge it as if it were the final exam.

After moving to the fourth layer, I warm up before heading to the fifth layer.

I’ve become stronger since the last time I entered to retrieve the Dark Fang, so I’ll challenge it with confidence.

I walk, searching for monsters as usual. In this fifth layer, dinosaur-type monsters appear: Mithrilzaurus, Meteorzaurus, and Bloodzaurus.

Each of them is troublesome in their own way, with no clear superiority in strength.

However, Bloodzaurus seems to be compatible with my fighting style.

Mithrilzaurus has high endurance, and Meteorzaurus has high magic resistance.

Meteorzaurus is particularly troublesome as it unleashes a powerful magic called Meteor.

I can only deal with it using spatial magic.

Even if I counter Meteorzaurus, it has particularly high resistance to Meteor, so I won’t be able to deal much damage.

It would likely be a drawn-out battle, so I decide to target something else.

However, Bloodzaurus is simply a monster with a lot of HP, so it would be tough to fight directly.

Still, I continue to search for Bloodzaurus in the fifth layer.

While moving and scouting, I finally find it.

Its massive body sways, and its surface covered in black scales gleams. It seems to be searching for prey, its yellow eyes scanning the surroundings.

It seems to be on alert already. …It hasn’t pinpointed my location yet, but perhaps it’s aware.

Bloodzaurus has a single sharp horn, which it sometimes uses as a sword-like attack.

Moreover, it regenerates like shark teeth, but its regeneration speed is abnormal, so even if it’s broken, it quickly recovers.

…Well, that’s why you could repeatedly destroy its parts in the game, and the number of destroyed parts would be reflected in the drop items, but that has been fixed in the current version.

Nevertheless, its imposing presence is astounding. With each step, the ground trembles.

…Well, there are no other monsters nearby, so it should be easy to fight here.
