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 94

Episode 94

“The One Who Discovers the Cycle of Souls”

…This voice sounds familiar.

Is it Hell’s voice?

However, it’s different from the cute, beautiful girl reaper I’ve seen in the game.

Is she disguising herself, or has she sent some underlings?

Even so, the one who discovers the cycle of souls…?

“Are you… by any chance, a demon?”

There aren’t many monsters intelligent enough to speak.

…Well, there is the exception of Ruf, who barks in front of others.

If it’s not a monster, as Lady Fylia says, we have to suspect the possibility of a demon.

But the two with demon blood here seem to understand that the being in front of us isn’t a demon.

Oh, no, Suzaku looks puzzled.

While Serin is frowning at the mysterious being, the reapers head straight towards Lady Fylia.

“So that’s how it is…”

I swing my dagger at the reapers to protect Lady Fylia.

A reaper that jumped at her from the side is cut down by Lady Fylia’s sword.

Lady Fylia seems to have fighting instincts, even though she’s a character who doesn’t fight in the main game.

Her specs seem pretty high.

Well, you can add members of the royal family to your party. Since they’re all high-spec, Lady Fylia is probably set up similarly.

All the reapers are targeting Lady Fylia.

Suzaku and Serin help fend them off as they attack.

“Hell, is your target Lady Fylia’s life?”

When I mention the name of the one who might be there, the reapers stop moving.

They clearly look flustered.

More reapers gather. I start preparing spatial magic while they stop moving.

…I don’t know Hell’s role in this world, but there’s no doubt she’s controlling these reapers.

In the main game, Hell appeared as an advisor when the protagonist died.

What if her role was to return the protagonist’s soul to the world when he died at an unintended time, guiding him back to the correct path?

From the earlier statement and the persistent targeting of Lady Fylia, I made that guess.

The reapers hesitated for a moment but then charged at Lady Fylia again.

“Suzaku, protect Lady Fylia!”

“O-Okay!”

Suzaku immediately steps between Lady Fylia and the reapers at my command.

He swings his long sword down, but the reaper blocks it with its scythe and quickly retreats from Suzaku.

…They can’t attack Suzaku.

He is the protagonist and not a character meant to die in this scene.

That’s true for Serin and me too. …Well, they might go for one of my arms.

The reapers—Hell seems to embody this world’s corrective force.

The reapers look at us with annoyance as they gather.

…Is almost everyone here now?

“Sorry, but I won’t let you kill Lady Fylia.”

She is proof that I changed the story of this world.

If she were to face a death other than by natural causes, it would mean I lost to this world’s corrective force.

While pointing my dagger at the reapers, I watch them… and their reinforcements stop.

…Can they not send more reapers? Is there a limit to their numbers, or are there other conditions?

If they were targeting Lady Fylia, there must have been better chances.

For example, when she’s alone would be the perfect time.

Still, they chose this timing, so there must be some reason.

Perhaps… they can only appear at the same timing as in the game?

Hell appeared as an advisor when you’re defeated in a boss battle, allowing you to choose “Restart from boss battle.”

It’s possible Hell can only interfere with this world at the same times she appears as an advisor to Suzaku.
