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 51 - Pressure, Dignity, and Rumors

Chapter 51 – Pressure, Dignity, and Rumors

“You really do some outrageous things. I would say they are relentless.”

“I-I didn’t mean to. But yeah… I guess that’s true.”

“Even if you didn’t explain yourself, I thought you would do something like this someday.”

“Ha-haha…”

Now that the morning of the visit to the mansion by the authorities and the guard has passed, the questioning has been completed.

There was a resident who looked at the man with an indescribable expression and squinted at him in dismay.

The man was attacked by a sensation of being blamed.

“But at any rate… Thank you for your help.”

“Did you do this, partly for the purpose of testing my processing ability?”

“No way…”

The man unconsciously twitched at the resident who asked him that with a straight face.

Why did it end up like that? The person who absolutely cannot explain the reason for it is none other than the man.

“Then I only have one question for you. How did I handle it?”

“Ah… It was perfect (Because I didn’t get dragged out of the room where I was holed up in)”

“Thank you very much. Your words are a great relief.”

“Tha-that’s good.”

The resident is convinced that the purpose was to check her processing capacity, but that’s not really the man’s intention.

He just hid in his room, accepting the words of the resident, ‘Shall I handle this on your behalf?’

The man got to leave everything to the resident. And such a resident was very resourceful and smart.

The two dots were now connected and the result was such a deep reading.

I mean, how was I supposed to know that those four guys were the main culprits messing with the Holy Church… And what was that coincidence in the first place…

And it’s the Jet-black who mutters unspoken grievances in his mind,

I didn’t do anything in the first place. I was just attacked because they had a grudge against me…

The man still didn’t understand. He didn’t know why four people he had never seen face to face before turned against him.

Just what kind of misunderstanding did he make that led to this?

“Um… Miss Resident. There’s something I’d like to ask you as well.”

“Yes, what will that be?”

“The bridge repair cost… What happened to that?”

The man couldn’t sleep last night.

He was afraid of a possible arrest and uncertainty about whether he would soon have to pay for the bridge he destroyed.

“Regarding the bridge repair cost, there is nothing that Sir Jet-black will be responsible for. I have summarized the situation by explaining that it was necessary to engage in self-defense while ensuring the capture of the other party.”

“O-ohh… I can’t believe it’s going so smoothly…”

“Of course, you were attacked. I reasoned that someone capable of casually destroying a bridge would not let such a matter go unaddressed.”

“Well… That’s what happens. Usually.”

This was the result of a desperate attempt to resist, but if you think about it objectively, it’s probably a natural response.

“But, they have acknowledged it.”

“Wh-why?”

“Because I said, ‘You are saying that Sir Jet-black is lying?’”

“Hu-huh? Isn’t that a threat…?”

“No, it was just to confirm.”

“Doesn’t it sound like a threat, saying it might make me angry?”

“It was just to confirm.”

“I-I see…”

“Yes. It was just to confirm, so there’s no problem.”

The man can’t complain about anything after leaving everything to the resident.

He should just be grateful that she got him to be ‘free’…

“Furthermore, regarding last night’s incident, it’s unlikely Sir Jet-black will be questioned about it in the future. However, if you are questioned, please let me know. We might need to take some action.”

“O-Okay…”

“If you need immediate assistance, please contact the Ansages of the Holy Church. They will be the ones to take the initiative.”

“Ah, yeah…”

Is it just the man’s imagination that the other party was being ‘pressured’ in the name of power… In the end, the man decided that it was just his imagination.

He also chose to let the phrase ‘take action’ go in one ear and out the other.

“…So, are they already working on repairing the bridge now?”

“Yes. It’s not a problem, but there are some logistics issues.”

“O-Okay. I’ll just go and bring them something.”

“Shall I call the messenger?”

“No, I can’t just laze around, that wouldn’t be dignified.”

“Understood. Will you be wearing armor then?”

“Well, I need to be prepared.”

“Understood.”

The Jet-black had no way of knowing why he had just been asked for confirmation.

Naturally, rumors and buzz had enveloped the city.
