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 59 - Tomorrow’s Promise

Chapter 59 – Tomorrow’s Promise

While carrying Remy on his back, heading towards her family’s mansion,

“Do you want to come inside?”

“…No, I’m not coming in. I’m just going to give you a lift to the side of the house.”

“Why not?”

For the Jet-black, who doesn’t want to be confronted by someone with absolute power, it was a devilish invitation.

“We’ll give you lots of hospitality. We also have snacks.”

“Hmm, I’ll just accept your feelings.”

“Why?”

It would be rare for an adult to be tempted by snacks.

Remy can think like a merchant, but she is still a child in this respect.

“Remy is going to have to tell her parents about the job she’s accepted, right? If the timing of the busyness even overlaps with hosting me, that’s going to be a lot of work.”

“……”

The man tried to come up with a theory like that, but Remy didn’t respond.

It was as if she was aware that the man just didn’t want to.

“Well… well, what I’m trying to say is… Now’s not the right time for me to show my face. Yeah.”

“Remy thinks you should stay with Remy until the ‘busyness’ day is over. The report won’t take long.”

“……”

What a valid argument. She was trying to completely destroy any escape route.

Under normal circumstances, the man would already be in a situation where he could easily be persuaded, but he has managed to secure an ace in the hole when it comes to dealing with Remy and the other girls.

“——Remy. To be honest, I’ve got a lot of things to do.”

“…Then you could’ve said that first.”

“Sorry.”

“It’s okay, there’s no other choice.”

Now that he’s feeling guilty for lying, one thing has been bothering the man. No, this one thing has been bothering him for a while now.

For some reason, the word ‘things to do’ strikes a critical chord.

Not only Remy, but also Karen and Nina immediately listened and withdrew at these words. 

“…Hey.”

“What?”

“Are you still busy…? With that Group work. (Vertal)”

“G-Group?”

“Yes.”

“Ah… Are you talking about the ‘spy’ job I mentioned back then?”

“Remy has been told not to ask, so Remy will say, ‘maybe.’”

“Haha, then you shouldn’t ask.”

The man’s memory had completely forgotten about that.

When helping Remy and the others, he told them about his fake occupation to reassure them.

But now that he remembers, he feels relieved.

“Well… If you ask me if it’s hard or not hard, it’s hard.”

“I see.”

“…Ah, that’s right.”

In his armor, he responded with a contorted face. 

He’s not really working. 

He shouldn’t even say he’s ‘working hard’ because he’s not working, but it wouldn’t add up if he didn’t answer this way. 

In the worst case scenario, there’s a possibility that he’ll be taken to Remy’s house.

He has to make sure they are on the same page here to avoid the horror of meeting powerful people. 

“Is there anything Papa or Remy can help with?”

“No, I’m perfectly fine. Probably items or supplies… But the things I need can be obtained through my connections.”

“What a big group. So cool.”

“Well, I’m not that big of a deal. Really.”

“Remy hears that the more talented people are, the more humble they are.”

“…Well, that doesn’t apply to everyone.”

She doesn’t realize it because she has too high an opinion of the person in front of her.

“Okay. But Remy will make it big so that one day people will be able to count on us. Remy is going to collect those medicines and heal those in need just like you did for Remy.”

“Hoo… That’s a good goal.”

While an independent figure like the Jet-black may not often rely on Remy’s commercial organization, having that goal will surely lead to prosperity.

They will be relied upon by more people.

The man hopes that Remy will continue to have a beautiful heart even when she becomes an adult.

“Then next time, pay a visit to my place. It’s not exactly a celebration, but… I have a present I’d like to give to Remy.”

“!!! Remy will come as soon as Remy gets home.”

“That’s impossible. I’ve got something to do.”

“Muu… What’s the present? Tell Remy.”

The man could see Remy’s cheeks puffing out.

“Haha. You can look forward to that. You’ll have to wait and see for yourself.”

“Then Remy wants to go to your house tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow, huh… I don’t have anything special to do tomorrow, so it’s fine.”

“Yaay.”

Remy flapped her legs, still being carried on the man’s back.

There may not be much joy in her voice, but when she expressed it through her actions, it made the Jet-black happy.

“Oh, yeah. You don’t need to bring anything tomorrow. Just come.”

“Yes. Give Remy the present.”

“Tomorrow, okay?”

“Tomorrow.”

“By the way, it’s a surprise.”

“Surprise.”

Remy kept repeating the man’s words, as if she was parroting. It was unclear whether she couldn’t wait for tomorrow or was simply savoring the anticipation.

(T/N: Remy is so cute, probably the cutest so far.)
