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 78

Episode 78

…Well, perhaps it’s because the person inputting the data is making mistakes in the first place and not double-checking.

In the past, nobles looked down on the Fairy tribe, so they didn’t use it. But now, everyone makes fun of it as a tool used by commoners.

However, just from what I’ve seen in the guild, I think this would be more convenient for compiling information within the territory.

Well, it might be difficult to get people other than the Validor family to use it due to the reasons mentioned earlier.

But isn’t it fine to let the hired officials use it? I think so, but in most cases, they often hire relatives or close nobles.

Still, I think most people would be happy if the working hours were reduced compared to now, but maybe it’s also a matter of pride.

“Lord Reis. It seems there are monsters.”

“Oh, is that so? What should we do?”

Ahead, I spotted three goblins… They’re not particularly strong since they’re not monsters from the Forest of Rebellion.

“Lord Reis, please wait here. I’ll take care of them.”

“I see. Understood.”

Is she trying not to bother me? Or maybe Inaesia is trying to showcase her own strength.

Either way, since Inaesia seems motivated, I’ll leave it to her.

Quietly, both Inaesia and I approach the goblins. They seem completely unaware.

…And then, Inaesia swiftly closes the distance.

“G-Gah!?”

The goblins notice in a panic. One of them was still leisurely digging the ground.

Inaesia’s weapon skill strikes at one of them. The blade of wind cuts through the goblin’s body in an instant, finishing it off.

The remaining two attack with clubs, but Inaesia easily deals with them.

There seems to be quite a difference in status. She effortlessly catches the goblin leaping at her with a spear and sends its body flying.

When a goblin leaps at her from the side, she thrusts her spear to crush its club and finishes it off.

…She’s doing this with ease.

Inaesia spins her spear in place before slinging it back over her shoulder. Ah, was that a victory pose?

I feel a sense of satisfaction seeing her move just like in the game. Inaesia returns.

“Are you injured, Lord Reis?”

“Thanks to you, Inaesia, I’m fine. You’ve gotten much stronger.”

“Of course. I’m here to protect Lord Reis. I must become stronger than Lord Reis.”

I definitely want her to aim for that.

I don’t know where my growth limit lies, but at least Inaesia and the others’ growth limits are comparable to those of the original protagonist.

If they raise their levels to the limit by fighting in the party, they should be able to easily handle even the final boss.

Then, when we were further south in the forest, something happened. I felt an unusual magical barrier.

…What’s this?

“Lord Reis, this is the forest where the Fairy tribe lives.”

“I see. But how do we enter?”

I tried touching the barrier, but it bounced me back.

Inaesia also touches the barrier and calls out.

“Hello, it’s Inaesia… Is Nishiri there now?”

When Inaesia calls out, a Fairy approaches us after a while.

Seeing Inaesia, the little Fairy smiles.

…Nishiri was in the game too. I remember her as a carefree character whose thoughts were often unclear.

After befriending the Fairy tribe, they’re usually left at the base, so I don’t remember all the details of each character.

Their bonus stats from base placement are high, so I usually just scouted them.

“Oh, it’s Inaesia! And who’s that person?”

“He is Lord Reis, the head of the Validor family I serve. Reis, this is Nishiri, the one who made the request before.”

As Inaesia introduces me, Nishiri gazes at me intently.

I nod slightly in response.
