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 79

Episode 79

“I’m Reis Validor. I came today with a request for the Fairy tribe.”

“Oh? A noble has business with the Fairy tribe? Will it rain today?”

Nishiri looks at us with a mocking expression.

Even from her gaze, it’s clear she’s disgusted.

“Nishiri. Lord Reis is different from other nobles… Can you at least hear him out?”

“But isn’t it because of the Validor family that we were expelled from the city?”

“Well… um. That may be true, but Lord Reis has been working to improve things from the past. So… yeah. Right, Lord Reis?”

Is she throwing it to me?

Inaesia throws me a lifeline… Come to think of it, negotiating wasn’t really her strong suit.

Although it was said that Inaesia’s territory management skills would improve when teamed up with the Fairy tribe, she was more adept at combat.

“I’m aware that the Validor family has caused various problems. I apologize.”

As I bow my head, Nishiri raises her voice in a fluster.

“Oh no, I didn’t mean for you to apologize. …Ugh, geez. Don’t get flustered. Okay, okay, come inside for now. We’ll listen to what you have to say.”

At least the first contact with Nishiri went somewhat smoothly.

Guided into the barrier, we enter their dwelling.

There are no buildings per se. It seems everyone lives among the trees.

However, magical tools are placed here and there, and the Fairy tribe is working on something.

It looks like they’re assembling a computer.

“What are you doing?”

“We’re currently developing new magical tools. The ones nobles hate so much.”

“I see.”

I wish she wouldn’t throw poison at every opportunity.

If I had taken on the requests Inaesia cleared, would my favorability have increased somewhat?

Nishiri, perched on Inaesia’s shoulder, then looks at me.

“So? What’s the noble’s request? Do you want us to move further away from the city?”

“…My parents might have wanted that, but… I’m considering introducing the Fairy tribe’s magical tools for estate information management.”

“Huh? The noble does?”

Nishiri looks genuinely surprised, blinking her eyes rapidly.

The nearby fairies also stop what they’re doing, surprised, and look at us.

It seems the Fairy tribe’s appearance is one reason they’re disliked.

There are several races in this world, but the Fairy tribe resembles demons.

Currently, there’s a war raging with demons on the northern continent, so demons are enemies of humans. Hence, the Fairy tribe, with their demon-like appearance and abilities, is also disliked.

Although they look like demons, they’re fundamentally different.

Even elves, who have pointed ears like demons, aren’t discriminated against as much as the Fairy tribe, so the world could be a bit kinder to them.

Well, I don’t particularly dislike either side.

Rather, as a fan of games, I remember feeling something like excitement at encountering real fairies!

Of course, I wouldn’t show any lack of dignity.

“I’m considering introducing the same magical tools we’re currently using into my household. So, I want the fairies to deliver them.”

“Huh? You want to introduce those magical tools? Aren’t they the tools that nobles disdainfully reject as inferior to what commoners use, calling them tools made by filthy beings?”

She really holds a grudge.

“Other nobles might think that way, but I want to use them because I find them useful.”

“Hmm, I can’t believe it. So, are you planning to deceive us into doing something by saying that?”

“I have no intention of deceiving you.”

Even so, Nishiri continues to glare at us.

…Well, she probably holds a grudge for being expelled from the city by the Validor family.

The full-scale war with demons started about twenty years ago, right? While things have relatively settled down now, there hasn’t been any reconciliation, so the relationship with demons is still bad.

If the mistreatment of the Fairy tribe intensified after the war with demons began, then maybe the expulsion of the Fairy tribe happened around that time.

It’s possible that time has only exacerbated the resentment toward nobles.

Honestly, these nobles are just causing unnecessary trouble.
