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 61

Episode 61

“Good morning. It’s time for me to change.”

“Yes. That’s why I came to assist.”

Inaesia says calmly, but there’s a hint of excitement in her voice.

“So, I can change by myself, you know?”

Back when my parents were around, I used to change clothes by myself. They treated me like a commoner.

It was childish bullying based on the idea that “changing clothes by yourself is for commoners,” but I was used to it, so it was fine by me.

However, now that I’m a lord, it’s been decided that I should leave changing clothes to the servants.

I’ve mentioned before that it would be more efficient for them to do servant work during this time, but it seems like it’s not about that now, and I end up being helped with changing.

For example, if it’s a garment I can’t put on by myself, then I guess I need help, but it’s not like that…

“Since it’s part of the job, let’s leave it to her. Inaesia, I’m counting on you.”

“Yes, leave it to me, Lady Reem. To the usual place.”

Reem says so and starts to leave.

“What do you mean by the usual place? And when did you two become so close?”

“It’s about the changing place. Don’t worry about it.”

“Yeah, please don’t worry.”

Am I the only one feeling uneasy when these two exchange words like this?

Well, they’ve probably become close from training together.

In the game, characters who participated in the party would naturally increase their favorability. So, if you wanted to see the favorability events of each character, you just had to put them in the party for the time being.

There was also a good relationship between the characters, and if you formed a party with close characters, there would be a slight bonus to stats.

Well, if you entrusted your life to fighting together, maybe favorability would naturally increase, like the bridge effect.

In the future, should I aim for those aspects as well?

But then again, I’m not sure how parties are treated in this world.

While thinking about such things, I become Inaesia’s dress-up doll.

We head to the soldiers’ training ground and begin training.

…My opponents are Reem, Inaesia, and Zangell.

Zangell wasn’t a character that appeared in the original, I think, but his growth rate is on par with Reem and Inaesia.

It might be because of his own motivation and the sense of responsibility as a sergeant.

Well, not everything goes according to plan like in the game. There are pleasant surprises, and maybe unexpected problems might arise.

Zangell, of course, as well as the overall performance of the soldiers, has improved.

…It might also be because I’ve started to review the salary system more clearly.

Once a certain level of proficiency is reached, I decided to raise salaries.

Until now, proficiency wasn’t taken into account at all, and the same salary was given, so some soldiers seemed dissatisfied.

I understand their feelings, so I’ve reviewed it within the limits that don’t strain the finances.

In my previous life’s company, even if you were told to get qualifications by the company, if it didn’t directly relate to your work, your salary wouldn’t increase. It was a black company. So,even if you did work other duties outside the required qualifications, it was all wasted effort.

Of course, there were cases where you had to get a certain qualification for promotion, but…just because you got it didn’t mean you would be promoted immediately.

To recognize individual efforts as much as possible, it will be necessary to review evaluations while raising the motivation of the soldiers in the future.

Especially since soldiers are important to our territory.

The battle in the Forest of Rebellion last time, although I managed somehow, was also thanks to the support of the soldiers.

In the future, my ideal is to be able to fight without me having to participate.

In the game, creating the strongest territory and being able to repel monsters with just the subordinates was one of the pleasures.

We’ve only just begun reviewing evaluations, so there’s still a lot to reconsider.

While thinking about such things, after finishing training with Zangell and the others, I fight alongside the soldiers.

The purpose is to improve coordination.

Even if facing stronger enemies, the goal is to detain them with coordination until reinforcements arrive.

Although it’s gradually, the soldiers are getting stronger. At least, the growth rate is incomparable to when I played the game.
