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 54 - Good Girl

Chapter 54 – Good Girl

“O-ohh…But wait, why are you here?”

This is the response to ‘Remy’s here.’

This is the man’s response to Remy, who suddenly appeared and hugged him, who was making ‘It’s hard…’ expression, given she was hugging him over the armor.

“I got a call that you came to this shop.”

“…Hmm”

This statement is hard to understand.

He put his hands on Remy’s shoulders and tilted his head, pulling her body away from him.

“I’ve been told by the manager that the people who are coming here now are related to the director…”

“Remy’s related. Papa is the director.”

“……”

“……”

The man was speechless at the unbelievable words.

When he turned to look at the manager, he saw a big nod that seemed to convey his intentions.

“I-I see.”

“Yup.”

“…Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to come in here.”

“Yes.”

At this moment, everything was connected.

The man understood why all three powerhouses were searching for the Jet-black.

In addition, it was the remaining household of the three powerhouses.

He didn’t react with surprise. No, he was too surprised to feel anything.

The store manager allowed Remy to enter this room, and the question that had arisen was resolved.

As the director’s daughter, there’s no way the manager can resist. She would definitely let Remy have her way.

“Hey, Remy-san, where are your parents?”

“You can call me Remy. I’m giving you special permission.”

“……”

Even though the man secretly and politely tried to rephrase his words, he was cut off abruptly.

The man would like to clarify two things.

If he had known Remy’s status from the beginning, he would not have been so informal.

And he wished she hadn’t said anything so scary about being “special” in his position.

I absolutely have to make sure this doesn’t get exposed anymore… If it does, it’s a matter of life and death…

There must be a clause where he’s allowed to get away with lying about being an agent spy.

If they found out he was just a civilian, they would definitely feel mocked.

Nothing is more important than life.

In this situation, the man decided to give himself a little pep talk, thinking, “I’m the one in charge here,” and approached with confidence.

Just for now, he doesn’t want his identity to be doubted.

“So… Remy, what about your parents?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know? Does that mean you came here alone?”

“Is Remy a good girl?”

Her expression hasn’t changed, but she looked at the man with innocent eyes.

The man got the vibe that she was expecting ‘Good girl’——But the problem is that she doesn’t have an escort with her.

The man felt like she ran away from home alone, but he decided not to ask (because he’s scared).

“Is Remy a good girl?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then you can just say Remy is a good girl.”

“Hah… You’ve really changed since then, haven’t you? Even your attitude has gotten bigger.”

“Mufufu.”

The moment she sniffed and looked happy, she somehow got on his lap.

“I didn’t mean it as a compliment… Well, it’s good to see you looking well.”

“Thanks to that medicine.”

“Then I’m glad I used it.”

It’s as if the appearance of her weak self has completely disappeared.

However, out of all of them, Remy was the one who never gave up on her desire to live.

He was glad to hear that she was satisfied with the results.

As the man watched her in this state——the manager, who must have received the product from another staff member, approached with the goods in hand.

“Here are the five items you ordered today, priced at 200,000 regils. We are very sorry for taking up your valuable time. Please accept this as a token of our apology as well.”

“…Ah, yeah. Thanks for that.”

The sweets alone cost 200,000 yen… I wonder how this is the most popular…

Although the Jet-black received a lot of key money from the Aldi family and the Ansage family, he is completely unemployed and has no job.

To be honest, the amount was enough to make his hands tremble, and it was enough to make him swear that he would never come to this store again for personal purposes.

“I didn’t know you liked sweets so much.”

“No, this is for a gift… I have a lot of things going on.”

“Is it because you destroyed a bridge?”

“I mean, it’s not like I intentionally broke it, it just… happened. Seriously.”

Someone who can intentionally destroy a bridge like that has probably transcended being human. It’s like their brain has turned into muscle.

Hah… If even this little kid Remi has heard about it, the entire town’s population probably must know about it by now…

His shoulders felt heavy.

It was at that moment when the man took out a cloth bag, feeling increasingly awkward about offering the goods.

“Diva, you can put all that money on Remy’s household.”

“Yes, Miss Remy. Then please inform the director that payment is due by the end of the day.”

“Okay.”

“What? No, let me pay. I don’t want to owe you anything.”

The idea of getting 200,000 regils replaced is tempting, but being in debt to people in power is something to be avoided at all costs.

“No.”

“I don’t think Remy has the right to veto that.”

“Diva.”

“We’ve already settled the issue of the payment, so I won’t be needing any money from Sir Jet-black anymore. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.”

“……”

The hierarchical relationship really shows.

Remy is better at using power than Karen and Nina.

“…Hey, how do you think you’re using that power? You’re still young, you need to do a bit more hard work.”

“‘If you’re a merchant, sell a lot of favors’, Papa said.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t tell anyone about that.”

“Then I’ll stop telling.”

Selling favors is also helping people.

In the case of commercial people, helping others will probably lead to the use of the store.

Even the manager laughed at the traces of gifted education.

“Um, so you really won’t take the money?”

“Yes, I am sorry.”

“I… I see. I’ll take your word for it. Thank you, Remy.”

“Yes.”

Truthfully, the man wanted to resist more, but he knew it would be a waste of time.

“——Well then, I’ll be taking that.”

“Ah, where are you going?”

“I’m going to give this as a gift.”

If I spend any more time here, there’s a possibility that Remy’s parents will come…

He would have liked to have had a more extended conversation with Remy, as it had been a long time since they had seen each other, but there’s something he can’t compromise on.

“Okay. Remy’s coming too.”

“Huh…?”

“Eh?”

Remy looked puzzled, but the man wished she wouldn’t make that face.

When he’s seen with the daughter of one of the three powerhouses, you never know what kind of rumors you might get.

“No, you don’t have to go with me.”

“I’ve told Papa I’ll be protected today.”

“Huh?”

The man could understand when Remy pointed a finger at him.

“…Wait. Is that why you don’t have an escort?”

“Remy also sent Remy’s carriage home.”

“Huh…”

It was his first time hearing it.

In other words, she had abandoned even the means to return home.

“Is Remy good? Now we can stay together a lot.”

Remy, on his lap, looked at him like she wanted him to praise her.

The man couldn’t complain, considering that she wanted to be with him so much.

“…Yes, yes. Remy is good, just a little though.”

Because of this, when praised for the opposite reason, Remy responded with a satisfied “Mufu.”
