I Reincarnated as a Mob Villain in a Game World I Had Been Playing~ Using My Knowledge of the Game, I Lived a Carefree Life but for Some Reason I Became Famous Everywhere~ - Chapter 22 - Villa ①

Chapter 22 – Villa ①

“Are you sure I deserved such a gorgeous house…? And it even includes all the furniture and tableware.”

“It’s all Father’s wishes, so don’t worry about it.”

“You’re humble in a weird way. Even though you always address me rudely with ‘you’.”

“Is that so wrong?”

“Of course it is.”

Well, I guess she’s right…

The place where Karen had convinced the man was in a hall that looked like it could be dozens of tatami mats.

After a few dozen minutes in a horse-drawn carriage to get there, the man was given a guided tour of the interior, which also took a few dozen minutes.

The man is now thinking about two things.

Why even build a villa near the main house… And,

I’ll be alone in this huge place, huh…

The site and the house were too big to be honest, it didn’t feel real.

Not that it was a problem to have, but it wasn’t really suitable for a single person to live in because it was large enough to be called a bother.

“Ah, sorry. You can sit down, okay? I know it’s a gift for me, but you can stay here as if it were your own home.”

“I-I can’t agree with you on the last point, but… Thank you very much. I will take your word for it then.”

The tour of the house was now over.

Holding out his hand and urging her to sit, Lyfia sat down.

How can she sit so gracefully… Seriously…

It was obvious that she was well educated.

The man tried to sit the same way, but he had the feeling that he was sitting in a strange way.

It was probably not something that could be acquired overnight.

I hope they didn’t see the way I sat just now…

While hoping and coughing, the man was approached by the person still standing.

“Hey, did you say ‘sit down’ because you were concerned about me? Because my leg had just healed and I had to show you the place.”

“…Hmm?”

The man seemed confused at first, but then he realized what Karen was trying to say. 

However, he didn’t care about that. He was just stating the obvious.

“…I’m telling you, I’m not tired. So I’m not going to sit down.”

“Children don’t have to push themselves.”

“I’m not a child!”

“Yes, yes.”

Somehow, the man started to understand Karen better.

When she acted tough, she just wasn’t being honest. 

This means that, in this case, she is tired.

She’s just a kid, but she’s already acting like this…

The man wondered if Karen, who received the Legendary Elixir, thought that she always had to show herself as being strong.

“I mean, I didn’t use that elixir to make you push yourself. You can take it easy in front of me. Really.”

It would be a terrible situation if word got out that The Duke’s beloved daughter had been forced to push herself too hard.

While the man was trembling—Lyfia looked delighted.

“If you really don’t want to sit down, why don’t you sit on me? On top of this hard armor.”

A soft sofa or a stiff black armor. If someone were to ask which is more comfortable to sit on, everyone would say the sofa.

In other words, there was no choice but to choose the former.

That was such a perfect line…

The man said to himself, amazed.

After making a self-admiring and obvious prediction, the man was told,

“Is that so? Then I’ll be sitting on you.”

“Yeah… ……Eh?”

By the time he voiced his doubt, it was too late.

In front of the man was a small back. Karen let out an “Osho” as she got up to sit on his thigh.

“O-Oi, what the hell are you doing?”

The scent was pleasant. And the girl naturally leaned closer.

“You were the one who told me to sit, weren’t you?”

“Of course I was joking… Besides, it’s hard to sit down, isn’t it?”

“It is.”

“Of course it is…”

For the record, Karen wasn’t heavy at all. It was just that the man’s vision in front of him was blocked by her red hair and back.

“Good for you, Karen.”

“S-Shut up. It’s not like I’m happy or anything. It’s hard to sit here.”

“Who said anything about being happy?”

“You did!”

Only those who have been related for many years would know that the exchange was filled with the jealousy of a certain person. 

That was the result of not stopping the sisters’ fearless bickering—

“I-In the first place, why are you still in your armor? It’s your house, please make yourself comfortable.”

“W-Well, I have to protect you two if something happens.”

Even though the man said that, he wasn’t confident that he could. To be honest, he’d like to take it off, but…

…It would be awkward to see Lyfia, whom he had met in the clock tower, because she was right in front of him.

The man decided to use Karen to switch the topic here.

“Ehhh!? D-Don’t poke me in the head! I told you not to treat me like a child!”

“Then, maybe you should sit on the sofa before I do it again.”

“No.”

“Why not?”

As Karen looked so happy while talking with the man, someone was looking at her enviously.
