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 73

Episode 73

Well, I’ve heard similar stories even back when I was in Japan. In Japan, it’s like not trusting automatic calculations in spreadsheet software, so you’re told to use a calculator, or before that, calculators weren’t trusted, so you were told to use an abacus… Anyway, there’s this aversion or distrust towards such cutting-edge technology, and it seems that the noble families haven’t adopted fairy tribe magical tools.

How stupid. How many calculation mistakes do they think they’re making because of that? Whether it’s intentional or just plain stupidity, I don’t know, but there seem to be a lot of calculation mistakes, especially when it comes to taxes. Well, I guess it’s somewhat unavoidable, but still…

…I’ll vent my anger on the nobles later.

But still, the fairy tribe is quite talented. In the game, scouting fairy tribe members would significantly boost internal affairs, and maybe this is why.

In the game, there were magical tools to maintain an environment close to Japan as a matter of course, and I just thought it was part of the game, but maybe it’s thanks to the fairy tribe.

If I ask the fairy tribe nicely, I might be able to improve a lot of tasks.

“For now, I understand. Thank you for the information about the dungeon.”

“No, it’s an honor if I could be of help.”

The guild leader bowed with a relieved expression. It seems like he was nervous because I asked so many questions about the fairy tribe.

For now, I’m curious about both the dungeons and the fairy tribe.

For now, I checked the information about the dungeons that exist, but… well, they’re all duds.

Maybe because they’ve been left alone for so long, everything about the monsters, equipment, and skills that appear is already known. Of course, they’re all duds.

I’d like to clear them all out quickly and make new dungeons appear.

Since you can fight various monsters, it’s not bad for training the soldiers either.

To officially start dungeon conquest, I gathered the soldiers.

Inaesia is the captain who leads these soldiers.

Currently, there are several outstanding soldiers in our ranks.

I’ve asked those people to be squad leaders in charge of the soldiers, but Inaesia is the captain of the Fourth Squad.

“Today, Inaesia and her team will be exploring the dungeon. Inaesia, have you finished selecting the members?”

“Yes. Including me, we’re planning to go with ten members.”

Ten members. Well, there shouldn’t be any problems.

“Understood. I’ve asked the Adventurers Guild to send rookie adventurers as baggage carriers. Don’t forget to escort them as well.”

“Yes, understood.”

Well, we’ve already discussed this in advance. After confirming Inaesia’s polite words, I looked at her team members.

Inaesia’s team consists only of female servants.

Including her, motivated people are participating as soldiers and servants.

I promptly used spatial magic to head to the Adventurers Guild.

When I arrived at the guild entrance, there were four adventurers with the guild leader.

Probably the rookie adventurers who were scheduled to accompany us today. They all still looked youthful, and when they saw me, they seemed nervous.

…They probably look nervous because my rumors haven’t completely disappeared yet, right? Or is it because they’re facing a noble?

Although I saved the town, the infamous rumors about the Validor family haven’t completely vanished. It’s all mixed up, and whether my reputation will improve depends on how I manage the territory in the future. I can only hope that time will resolve everything.

“Guild leader, thanks for preparing.”

“No, it’s also a good experience for everyone to observe the soldiers’ battles up close.”

The adventurers have also been told that if they want to participate in combat while accompanying us, it’s okay.

I’m trying to make it mutually beneficial.

“Well then, adventurers. We’re heading to the dungeon from here.”

“Yes… Uh, is it… moving with your magic?”

As they looked at the black vortex I created, the adventurers asked with a cautious or worried expression.
