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 51

Episode 51

As we moved to the west gate, we began checking the equipment we currently had available.

The barrier device should hold up for about half a day as calculated.

The magical cannons and such, at least the four that Vilias maintained, seemed usable, so we set them up at the west gate.

We also received reports on the situation of restorative potions and such, but Reem looked at me with a furrowed brow.

“…Wait a moment.”

“We don’t have much time to spare…”

“Well, um… Isn’t our stockpile a bit too scarce? We’ve had almost half a year since then, so it wouldn’t be strange to have more, right?”

To Fylia-sama’s frustrated inquiry, I could only smile.

“That’s because, despite Fylia-sama’s reprimands, nothing changed.”

“Huh?”

Again, her voice of adorable confusion echoes.

Since Fylia-sama arrived here, she’s often had a bewildered expression.

“There have been some adjustments to military expenses, but the fundamental aspects of my father hasn’t changed. That’s why it’s like this.”

“…I see. Betraying the trust of my father… What is he thinking?”

Probably nothing. As long as he’s having fun now, that’s all that matters. He seems completely oblivious to the impending doom.

HIs vision has narrowed to this point.

Well, no matter how much stockpile we have, my strategy would remain the same.

The horde of monsters from the Forest of Rebellion is approaching.

We’re also arranging soldiers and adventurers one after another.

“I can’t believe Lord Reis is taking command…”

“It seems my father fled.”

My words make the adventurers burst into laughter.

Although Fylia-sama furrows her brows slightly at their vulgar laughter, she remains silent, as it’s unavoidable.

“Well, if it weren’t for Lord Reis, we would’ve fled long ago.”

“I might’ve fled alone if the adventurers hadn’t gathered.”

They chuckle in response to my words.

“Lord Reis, we’re looking forward to the rewards for this battle.”

“That’s not a problem. Fylia-sama will surely reward you generously.”

As I glance at Fylia-sama, the adventurers also become excited.

“…Yes, you’re right. Our opponents are the monsters from the Forest of Rebellion. I’ll talk to Father about the rewards as well.”

As Fylia-sama says so, the adventurers’ expressions brighten.

“We’re counting on it!”

“Alright, let’s do our best!”

The cheerful voices of the adventurers resonate.

Everyone seems motivated, which is good.

We’ve entrusted the security near the gate to the adventurers.

The soldiers are the same. They’re forming lines in front of the adventurers, but I’ve instructed them all to stay within the barrier.

The strategy is simple. We’ll activate the barrier and weaken the enemy with magic and magical cannons.

Then, I’ll join in to reduce the enemies.

“The soldiers’ deployment is complete!”

Zangell’s voice echoes, and I nod. …Reem, Ruf, and Inaesia should also be participating there.

They’re closest to the barrier, so the plan is for them to repel all attacks and attack the monsters trying to break through the barrier.

“I’ll give instructions on when to attack. Everyone, standby until then.”

“Understood!”

Now, all we have to do is wait.

We wait for the advancing monsters.

During that time, information continues to come in.
