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 67

Episode 67

It seems like this has become Reem’s favorite… Well, if this motivates her, then it’s a small reward.

With Reem still on my lap, I lay out the letters on the desk.

…There are quite a few nobles.

There aren’t many nobles entrusted with management, but there are many nobles living ordinary lives like Reem.

Especially in our territory, where strong monsters used to appear frequently, depending on their performance in battles, they could be granted titles.

Usually, it ends up being a baron, and it’s not uncommon for it to be a one-time thing.

They aren’t given significant authority, and some just stay in their hometowns… But anyway, there are probably more nobles here than in other territories.

For now, I need to at least grasp everyone’s faces and names.

There were some portraits drawn somewhere, so I’ll try to match faces with names there.

…It would be convenient if everyone could wear ID cards with their faces on them.

The issues as a lord have been settled for now… or rather, it’s a matter of waiting to see the results over time.

In a game, you could skip time, but there’s no such function here.

The next issue is… that the start of the main game is approaching.

I liked the system aspects of this game.

Creating my favorite weapons, strengthening and expanding my base, gathering and training my favorite companions… I really liked those parts.

However, there are also dissatisfactions.

That is, the story.

This game adopts a multi-ending system, and there are quite a few endings if you collect even the minor ones.

However, the majority of them are bad endings… Well, considering the protagonist’s background and the settings of the characters, it’s not easy to achieve a happy ending, but still, there are too many.

Probably, the development team likes endings where the protagonist dies.

In other words, well, I was indeed despairing as Reis-kun, but if I had been reincarnated as the protagonist, that would have been just as despairing too.

Honestly, I wanted to be reincarnated into another game world. It would have been great if it was a world of games where I could play brainlessly, like an eroge or a gal game. How wonderful would it have been if characters that could be considered my wife appeared…

Well, it’s already a luxurious story that I could be reincarnated into a game world, so I won’t ask for more.

If I hadn’t been reincarnated into a game world, it would have been impossible to live in this position.

For now, as someone who has changed one of the triggers for destruction… I want this story to end with a happy ending… But I don’t know which route the protagonist will choose to advance the story.

There’s a possibility that the world itself might be destroyed… So, I want to find the protagonist as soon as possible and stop him if he’s about to tread into a dangerous route.

I want the protagonist to have a happy ending. For my sake too.

So, from now on… I intend to interfere to guide the protagonist to a happy ending, but where should I meet the protagonist?

Anyway, since I’ve inherited the family… I don’t even have the luxury of attending the military academy, let alone the reason.

I’m still undecided on what to do in the future, but it would be convenient to identify the protagonist’s whereabouts… But I haven’t found him yet.

I’m searching under the default name “Suzaku” from the game, but there’s no information.

Well, in this world, it’s rare for individual names to be properly managed.

It can’t be helped that he’s not found.

However, as I looked at the list of candidates for this year’s military academy, I inadvertently muttered.

“…Suzaku isn’t here.”

The default name of the protagonist… wasn’t there.

There are two possibilities.

Either Suzaku didn’t apply, or he applied under a different name.

If it’s a different name, there’s also the possibility that Suzaku is also a reincarnator.

If Suzaku is a reincarnator, that would be delightful. It’s a bit selfish since I’m snatching away the original characters, but I hope he reaches the happy ending on his own.
