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 23 - Villa ②

Chapter 23 – Villa ②

“Still, it was impressive that us two were allowed to guide Sir Jet-black…”

“What do you mean by that?”

With Karen still on the man’s thighs, he continued Lyfia’s comment,

“Ah, yeah… I thought, ‘Don’t they usually let men do this kind of guidance? Not only do they not know what the opposite sex will do, but they don’t even know who I am.'”

In the midst of such risks, the Duke entrusted his beloved daughters.

The man thought it was a bit excessive for a show of gratitude.

“Fufu, under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t normally be called upon to do such things.”

“That’s right. After all, we would have no way of knowing their background.”

“R-Right?”

Karen, who became monotonous in her tone, seemed disinterested in the topic.

“Father is not a man who moves without a plan, that’s why I think he has judged you to be so trustworthy.”

“I see… As expected of the Duke.”

The fact that The Duke was able to make that judgment despite the fact that the man was hiding his appearance with armor must mean that The Duke had seen through him.

I was really facing some really extraordinary people earlier…

The man almost shuddered, but since there was a girl sitting on him, he managed to hold back.

“You helped me in the first place, didn’t you? You even used a precious elixir. Of course you can be trusted.”

“That’s… You have a point.”

“Hmph.”

It’s just like Karen for her to say these things…

If she hadn’t said that to convince the man, his opinion of The Duke as a father would’ve risen.

He could kind of tell by the strong reply that she understood it and still conveyed it to him…

Perhaps that meant that she was grateful.

“……”

“……”

“……”

As the man was working his head a little, he realized that the conversation had stopped.

In the silence, the sound of “pechi, pechi” echoed. This was the sound of Karen striking the man’s armor.

“Ah, I forgot to ask. When are you two planning to leave? Have there been any orders to come back as soon as you’ve finished showing me around?”

“We were told to go back before nightfall.”

“That’s the minimum…right? If you go back at that time, your parents will be worried.”

The man was hoping they’d reach home before sunset. For safety reasons.

“…Ah! Sir Jet-black! If you don’t mind, would you like to have dinner at our house?”

“No, I’ll pass on that.”

“Eh? Why would you say no? You’ll be served a sumptuous meal.”

“Well, there are a lot of things. But I’m grateful for the offer.”

Please, I beg you to at least spare me from that.

He wouldn’t want to dine with the Duke’s family, even if he were to be paid.

Even the two girls in front of him had the same way of sitting. In terms of table manners, their family is probably in the realm of the elite.

It would surely be a terrifying space, he didn’t even have to imagine it.

“You must be really busy.”

“W-Well, sort of…”

He felt bad to lie, but he couldn’t expose himself to the disgrace of “having no manners.” The man didn’t want to offend the family on the spot.

“…Hey, one thing I’ll tell you, when you leave town, stop by our place. And let us know when you’re coming back.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Why not!?”

I’m afraid to meet the Duke.

Of course, the man couldn’t say what he really thought.

There was no way that the man would know that Duke Diggoth was thinking the same way about Jet-black.

“Even if you ask me why… There are just various troublesome things. It’s difficult to explain them all.”

Strangely enough, the two girls backed off. For some reason, they didn’t pursue him.

Even though the man just said things like ‘various’ and ‘difficult to explain.’

“Karen, this can’t be helped.”

“Mou… Then stay as long as you can in this city.”

“Well, that’s of course. It’s a nice city, and I have some sightseeing to do, so I plan to stay here for a while.”

Well, some of the powerhouses are still looking for me…

The man didn’t know what would happen if he ran away. If he planned to move to another town, he thought he should at least finish his business here.

Otherwise he would feel heavy-hearted.

“—Eh…? What…? What was that gesture?”

“I-It’s nothing!”

When the man lowered his head for a moment, he saw.

He saw Lyfia doing a gesture while giving Karen a look.

It was like grabbing a ball with both hands and pulling it up.

The little sister, seeing this, was shaking her head, bobbing her head from side to side.

“What are you really doing…?”

“Sister was giving  me instructions. She said, ‘Pull up his helmet headpiece.'”

“K-Karen!”

“Oh? Haha, surprisingly you have a forceful side. Even though the timing was definitely wrong.”

“M-Mou… Karen, you’ll be punished later…”

“Hmph. That was definitely Sister’s fault just now.”

Karen rightly told Lyfia, who was covering her small face with both hands and showed her last struggle.

It was a really funny sight.

These sisters get along so well…

When the two quarreled, it was also the moment the man decided not to get involved.

＊＊＊＊

After then—an hour passed spent chit-chatting.

It was time before sunset.

“Thank you very much for your help today.”

“Me too. I would also like to thank you very much for the time you spent with us.”

“My butt hurts…”

“That’s what happens when you sit on a surface that hard…”

The man was seeing the two get on the carriage.

“We will be handing over the reward money and the family emblem that will serve as a sign of our backing the day after tomorrow. At that time, we will visit again and discuss the management of the villa with you.”

“Understood.”

“Then stay well until the next time we meet.”

“It’s mutual.”

“Y-Yes…”

After that conversation, the carriage door closed and the horses started to walk away.

With each small wave of the hand, the carriage continued to move farther away.

“…Now then.”

The man muttered.

At the right timing, the man removed his helmet, revealing his face, and then saw off the carriage until it disappeared completely.

W-Well, she looked like she really wanted to see my face…
