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 70

Episode 70

After leaving the tavern, I deployed spatial magic in a secluded area and entered it.

Within the spatial magic, I returned to my room while also changing from Ryō’s outfit.

As I finished changing and headed towards my room, there was Reem, already wrapped in night gowns, lounging on my bed.

“Welcome back.”

“I’m back… Are you going to sleep in this room again today?”

“Yes, of course. Is this scent… perhaps from Ryō’s clothes?”

“…How did you know?”

“It’s a bit strong. I like it.”

She gave a thumbs-up.

…Was it because I hadn’t washed the coat I was wearing much? Next time, I should wash it properly…

“Is everything going smoothly for you as Ryō?”

“Of course.”

This time, I wasn’t ensuring the safety of the territory as Ryō, but considering the usual circumstances, it was going quite smoothly.

“But still, isn’t there no need for you to act as Ryō at the moment?”

Originally, it was for after I was kicked out of the house.

Well, there was also the reason that if Reis stood out, harassment from the family might escalate.

“Simply put, having a different identity is convenient.”

“Indeed… I’m also glad to have a place where I can be myself.”

“In your case, you made that place for yourself, didn’t you?”

“Your generosity was very helpful.”

Although it wasn’t fully accepted… Well, I don’t harbor any negative feelings towards Reem.

Considering that the main story will start in the future, it’s reassuring to have her around.

However, there’s something that’s been bothering me a bit.

“Speaking of which, Reem, you didn’t take the officer academy exam, did you?”

“Yes. It seems like I’ll be getting busier from now on.”

In the game, when the Validor family lost its title, it also lost its marital relationship with Reem. Reem took the exam for the academy to become a knight, and Reis also took the same exam.

“Reis didn’t take it either, did he?”

“I no longer had a need to, after leaving the house.”

“I see. But you’ll continue to maintain Ryō’s position, right? It’s like you’re creating a character.”

Ugh, It’s annoying. My youthful chuunibyou heart throbbed a little.

Anyway, to prevent the story from spreading, I’ll keep going.

“This position is quite useful in various ways. First of all, if it’s known that there’s a connection between Ryō and Reis, there may be fewer people bothering me.”

“Bothering you? What do you mean by that?”

“In the future… there may be those who come after my life.”

In fact, in the game, there were events like assassination attempts.

Even the encounter event with Kururu could be developed based on that relationship.

As this country is an island nation, there isn’t much need to consider external military power, but as a result, there are skirmishes happening here and there, if not full-scale civil wars.

Intra-family succession disputes, pushing responsibility onto each other when problems arise across territories, competing for profits, and so on… Just thinking about it gives me a headache. These kinds of things happen every day.

Taking over this house was like the result of a civil war.

There are various reasons why assassins might come after me. From simply being a tyrant to personal reasons like not being liked.

“You’re thinking about a lot of things.”

“That’s right.”

“I thought maybe that kind of activity was your hobby.”

That’s about half the reason, but I brushed it off with silence.
