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 95
Episode 95
It might be that the reinforcements have stopped coming because we’ve run out of time.
“…I will return your souls to their rightful state.”
As soon as I heard that voice, the Reapers attacked all at once. However, I deployed my spatial magic. It swallowed them all and tore their bodies apart.
…No reinforcements, huh.
Having taken down the rude Reapers who left no drop items behind, I turned my gaze towards Suzaku and the others. They were staring at me with their mouths agape. Despite having seen this magic many times, they still seemed surprised.
“Look, it’s over now. Let’s head back to the surface.”
“…As expected. To take down such a large group with one blow.”
“My magic is well-suited for this kind of situation.”
Responding to Fylia-sama’s surprise, I deployed the spatial magic connected to Bright’s mansion.
“Reis-sama.”
It was Inaesia who called out to me when I moved. She saluted and immediately raised her voice.
“We’ve received a report from Zangell-san. The elimination of monsters at all the gates has been completed.”
“Good. After observing the situation for a while, proceed with lifting the barriers.”
“Understood.”
“Until the teleport stones are usable, Zangell and Inaesia, stay in this city. I will return to Validor first with Fylia-sama and the others.”
“Understood. Good job.”
Inaesia bowed deeply. After nodding to her, I took the three of them back to Validor.
We moved to my mansion’s study. Reem apparently had been waiting. She stood up from her seat as soon as we arrived. She looked slightly bewildered seeing us at first, but proceeded to bow deeply.
“Reis-sama… Fylia-sama. I’m glad to see you’re safe.”
Reem bowed her head to Fylia-sama.
“Is everything okay in Validor?”
“Yes, there were no particular issues here. It doesn’t seem like there was any significant impact from the monsters.”
“I see. That’s good to hear. We’ve almost finished up over there, so inform the guild as well.”
“Understood.”
Reem bowed once again to Fylia-sama and the others, and Suzaku scratched his head while bowing repeatedly.
For the time being, everything has been settled… but Fylia-sama continued to look at me intently.
“Reis-san. I’ve been wanting to ask, do you know anything about that monster from earlier?”
At her innocent question, I nodded while pondering how to answer. There’s no way I could say, “This is happening because Fylia-sama didn’t die when she was supposed to!”
I intended to gloss over it as usual, but I was struggling with what to say.
“Do you know about Hell, the guardian of the underworld?”
“…The guardian of the underworld? The underworld, as in the place where people go when they die, right?”
Even in this world, there is an understanding of the afterlife. All life, after death, goes to either heaven or the underworld. They are then reborn into new life according to their deeds.
The three of them seemed to understand this part. With confidence, I nodded at Fylia-sama’s words.
“Yes. Those were Reapers sent by Hell, the guardian who manages the underworld.”
“…The guardian of the underworld… It sounds unbelievable, but it makes sense considering the bizarre nature of those beings… But why were they there targeting me?”
I took a small breath and spoke the plausible reason I had come up with.
“That’s because Fylia-sama was supposed to have died already… I think.”
“…What!?”
Fylia-sama raised her voice in surprise. Then I took out an old book from the spatial magic. It’s a book I’ve been using as a notepad since I came to this world. It’s unreadable to anyone else since it’s written in Japanese. So, there’s no problem if someone sees it.
“This is something I found in the Validor family’s warehouse a few years ago. It’s written in code, and I haven’t deciphered all of it yet… but it mentions the possibility of Fylia-sama’s death.”
“…No way—”
Fylia-sama looked incredulous. On the other hand, Suzaku put his hand to his chin instead and muttered.
