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 99

Episode 99

…If I can train Suzaku early on, it might make it easier to fend off the enemies that will come after us in the future.

While Serin can also become stronger, Suzaku is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of growth potential and other factors.

“Also, please don’t mention this to Serin.”

“Huh? Why not?”

“If the demons are going to attack, it’ll happen in this town. Serin might feel guilty about that.”

“…Oh, I see. But if they actually attack, isn’t it all the same in the end?”

“That’s why I want Suzaku to get stronger. If we can easily repel them, there won’t be any issues, right?”

“…I get it! You’re really smart!”

Suzaku nodded with a smile. He’s easy to deal with since he’s satisfied with that explanation.

In reality, Serin is more sensitive than he appears and tends to take on responsibility easily.

If I brought this up now, she might even consider leaving the town.

“So, I’m counting on you.”

“Yeah, leave it to me!”

I patted Suzaku on the back, and he straightened up with a nod.

…Having the protagonist on my side is a big relief. He’s a bit absent-minded, but his abilities and prowess as the protagonist are undeniable.

Later, I managed to find Bright without any issues. Together with Lady Fylia, we scolded him.

I was able to remove him from managing the territory. For now, I took over the management since there wasn’t an immediate replacement.

Well, as long as the administrator does their job properly, all I need to do is make the final decisions.

If I can set up a computer for territory management, the work should become much more efficient.

“…It seems like managing the Validor territory is tough.”

Lady Fylia, who had accompanied me to reprimand Bright, muttered softly.

“Yes. For now, I’ve identified the problem children. If they don’t improve after being warned, I’ll treat them the same as Bright.”

“You could fire them right away, but they might bear a grudge. If you need help giving warnings, I’m here to assist.”

Lady Fylia offered with a smile.

If that’s the case, I’ll continue to rely on her in the future.

It’s quite stressful to scold people. It’s fine if they’re obedient, but there aren’t any good-natured nobles left in the Validor territory.

It’s actually better when they openly rebel. But some pretend to comply while secretly sharpening their fangs.

…Especially, there are many who lash out at being corrected by a younger person. Even when they know they’re in the wrong.

If they know Lady Fylia is backing me, they should comply more readily.

…As long as they’re not as blinded as Roubel.

“I’ll head back to the castle now.”

“Yes. Thank you again for helping with the problems in our territory.”

“Likewise, I appreciate your assistance as well.”

Lady Fylia smiled as she left the mansion with our soldiers.

…She’s not angry, right?

It seems she still isn’t holding me responsible for the issues in the Validor territory.

That being said, I can’t rely on her kindness forever.

I had planned to gradually deal with the lazy nobles, but it seems I won’t have much time to do so.

Of course, there are issues with the nobles, but it’s also necessary to train Suzaku and Serin.

In the storyline that Suzaku and Serin are currently advancing, there are several unwinnable events.

Most of these involve either dealing a certain amount of damage to the enemy or surviving for a set amount of time.

In the game, I lost countless times… Each time, Hel would give me tips on how to beat it. But no matter how many times I tried, I kept dying.

In the Suzaku & Serin arc, there wasn’t much to rely on besides player skill. There was hardly any time to grind levels.

That’s why I’m incredibly fortunate now. I can train Suzaku and Serin.

Both of them are among the strongest characters in the main story. As it progresses, they’ll even be able to harness the powers of the hero and the demon king.

Training them is something that brings joy to a gamer.

The only worry is how the distorted story will develop from here. That’s my only concern.

If unforeseen enemies appear in unforeseen situations, we might not be able to handle it…

“Did you remember to bring your accessories?”

As usual, I’ve given Suzaku and Serin their enhancement sets.
