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 92

Episode 92

“Wait a moment”

I called out to them. But Suzaku held his long sword ready, while Serin aimed her handgun—a magic gun.

In the northern continent, traditional weapons like bows had gradually been replaced by magic guns.

Suzaku hesitated slightly with his sword, but Serin fired at my feet without hesitation.

“W-Wait a minute!”

Lady Fylia shouted, but Serin’s hostility remained fixed.

I sighed quietly and used spatial magic to deflect the attack into another dimension.

“What… was that magic just now?”

“I’m not sure, but earlier he warped here. Maybe he used warp for the attack too!”

Suzaku’s insight was unexpectedly sharp. Though he often made carefree and foolish remarks, he excelled in combat.

Such carefree behavior was also formidable in this route with Serin.

“Um! Our noble has caused you trouble, and I apologize!”

Lady Fylia raised her voice, somewhat hiding behind me.

Suzaku and Serin exchanged puzzled looks.

Then, Lady Fylia showed them the pendant around her neck.

“W-What is that!?”

“You fool of a brother. That’s a pendant worn by the royal family of this country.”

“Huh? Does that mean… these people are royalty!?”

“I am not… I have connections with the noble who governs this city. Upon hearing that he was planning to frame you with false charges and do various things, I gave the order to release you…”

As I said that, Serin widened her eyes in surprise.

And Suzaku pointed at Serin and shouted.

“See, see, see! It’s those soldiers from back then! They said they came to free us!”

“…………Idiot brother. That’s obviously a lie! They were obviously trying to take us away to be slaves!”

“Oh, come on! Thanks to listening to my idiot sister, innocent accusations turned into actual crimes!”

…Come to think of it, the soldiers were attacked when they escaped during the game. It’s likely that this time Serin attacked the soldiers too because she misunderstood. Both of them then fled into the nearby underground waterway.

Serin, who had turned red-faced, twitched slightly.

I quickly grabbed Lady Fylia and jumped into spatial magic.

“Huh!?”

At the moment Lady Fylia’s surprised voice echoed as something passed where we were.

I frowned as we moved closer to Suzaku and Serin.

“Wow, what is this, a ghost!?”

Suzaku shouted, holding his long sword.

“It’s a Grand Wraith. It’s said to inhabit this underground waterway, but… I never expected it to come this far.”

The boss battle itself was supposed to occur a little later, but it seemed to have noticed us and come over.

“…What should we do?”

Serin was already in combat mode when she asked so. Lady Fylia also had her sword ready.

…If it follows the original, Suzaku and Serin should be able to defeat this boss.

And since I’m here, it shouldn’t be a problem.

“I can use my magic to escape.But it’ll be a big problem for the civilians if this thing gets outside. Please cooperate with me to finish it off here.”

“Understood.”

Serin immediately aimed her magic gun and fired. It hit the Grand Wraith, dealing a slight amount of damage.

…Magic attacks hit, but the Grand Wraith doesn’t have a physical form except for when it’s attacking.

So, I grabbed Suzaku by the scruff of his neck as he tried to charge in.

“Ugh! What are you doing…”

“Grand Wraiths can’t be hit with physical attacks besides magic. Don’t force yourself to attack. Aim for counters.”

“Seriously…! Isn’t that incredibly difficult?”

“It’s tough, but… we’ll finish it quickly.”

The Grand Wraith seemed to be targeting Serin, who was attacking with the magic gun, and Lady Fylia, who was already using magic attacks.
