I Was Reincarnated as the Most Wicked Aristocrat Who Rules Over the Kingdom’s Darkness in an R-18 Eroge, but I Don’t Like Abnormal Situations, so I Tried to Live a Normal and Peaceful Life, but I’m Somehow in the Same Situation as the Original Scenario - Chapter 6 - Proof of Absolute Obedience

Chapter 6 – Proof of Absolute Obedience

There were several heroines depicted on the game cover.

Elise Lucifor was at the center.

As she was positioned as the main heroine in a rape-themed R-18 game, her character design was tailored to meet that need.

Dignified eyebrows.

Eyes that expressed strength.

Black hair in a ponytail that gave off a pure impression.

…It’s a parade of elements that suggest a descent into pleasure.

Elise walked over to me with the male student who was with her,

“Alvart Zesphilia! I deny you and your family!”

She spoke the same lines as in the original.

“…What is this girl doing?”

“…Stay quiet, Lumiere.”

I put my hand over my sister’s murderous aura and ordered her to stand by and watch.

After that, I asked Elise.

“I’d like to hear what you meant by what you just said.”

“Place your hand on your chest and think about it! You vile person!”

She responds in a manner that leaves no room for discussion.

It’s exactly like the original, from start to finish.

Though I asked, I actually understand Elise’s intent well enough.

She possesses an excessively straightforward sense of justice and is also very uptight.

That’s why she completely denies the dark side of society.

She is convinced that such a thing should not exist.

That’s why she will not allow the Zesphilia family, the clan that rules the dark side of the kingdom, to continue.

…In the original, Alvart took her words as an attack on himself.

And what’s more.

“Hey! Are you even listening to me!”

Her voluptuous breasts swayed erotically every time she expressed anger through body language.

Her tightly curved waist.

Her plump buttocks peeking out slightly from under her short skirt.

Seeing this exquisite body that aroused a man’s desire, Alvart thought to himself:

“Your earlier statement is an attack in the form of an insult against me. In that case… I have the right to retaliate.”

He fabricated such a justification and activated the other supernatural power he had and applied it to Elise.

Initially, Elise resisted his power, shouting, “No matter what you do, I will not give in!”

But in the end,

“I-I’ve lost, haahnnn♥ I-I’m♥ I’m your slut, uhghh~♥”

She succumbed to pleasure.

Soon after that, Alvart, who had been at the height of his triumph, met a tragic end at the hands of a certain character.

To prevent such a future, I——

“Miss Elise. I understand that your reasoning is correct.”

I fully affirmed the other party’s intentions.

“Your noble beliefs and the justice that comes with them. … I intend to act as one who shares those beliefs.”

“Hmm…!?”

My response was apparently completely unexpected.

Elise frowned, making a suspicious expression.

“What are you talking about…?”

“It’s not something I can declare openly. However… I hope you understand that I am also thinking exactly as you imagine.”

I’m being roundabout so as not to fully commit.

Elise’s goal is to crush the dark side of the kingdom.

To that end, she will exterminate the Zesphilia family.

If I were to directly say that I think the same way, it would cause trouble later on.

That’s why I opted for indirect phrasing.

“…! I can’t trust you! You liar!”

Although she understood, she wasn’t convinced.

With that attitude, she continued to throw words at me.

“You plan to conspire against me…! Don’t mess with me, you bastard!”

Getting heated up, she took off the glove she had put on her left hand and threw it in my direction.

Then, she shouted the next line.

“——I challenge you to a duel! I’ll beat your twisted nature into shape!”

In an instant, the crowd erupted in commotion.

“A-a duel?!”

“Elise-sama is ranked number one in our grade…! She’s also ranked quite highly within the academy…! Meanwhile, that Zesphilia…!”

“Things are already getting interesting right after enrolling…!”

As I stared at the glove that had fallen to the ground, I thought.

Ah, so that’s how it is.

I had a vague idea of ​​it for a while now.

This world is definitely changing the scenario into something completely different from that of rape-themed eroge.

Specifically… it’s an academy supernatural battle. And it’s likely the “I’m awesome” type.

Looking at the circumstantial evidence, it was clear.

A duel between the top-ranked heroine and the lackluster protagonist.

After such an opening, the protagonist rises to the top of the school…

However, I have no intention of being swayed by such a scenario.

What I want is a mundane, everyday life as a mob character.

My ideal is a peaceful life without intense despair or insane happiness.

That’s why…

I have no desire for a mob-to-protagonist success story.

With that determination, I…

“I decline this duel.”

The moment I said that, the surrounding noise grew even louder.

“Refusing to duel…!?”

“How stupid…!”

“Not only is that a disgrace to his family name… It’s like throwing filth at them…!”

In this country, there seems to be a strong sense of machismo.

Therefore, refusing a duel when challenged is considered an extremely despicable act.

“…Alvart Zesphilia. Do you have no pride in yourself?”

The anger she had felt until just a moment ago had turned into something else.

Elise glared at me with cold eyes.

I would appreciate it if she lost interest and simply disappeared, but that probably wouldn’t happen.

So before she makes a troublesome decision, I will strike first.

“What is the point of having a duel with you?”

After saying that, I knelt down before her.

“Eh…!?”

This was probably another unexpected move from her perspective.

I knelt on the ground and spoke, looking up at Elise’s beautiful face.

“We share the same aspirations. Why do we have to hurt each other?”

“Y-you…! Even at this point, you still say such things…!”

“Miss Elise. It is only natural that you doubt me. However… My resolve is the absolute truth.”

I declared this decisively, then——I kissed her shoes.

“””…?!!”””

Not only Elise, but everyone around was stunned.

Kissing the other party’s shoes in front of everyone was, in other words, proof of absolute obedience.

It was an act of proof that I would never do anything to go against the other party’s wishes, and at the same time, it was an absolute pledge with everyone as witness.

If I went against this, in the worst case scenario, my family could be destroyed.

“…Now, do you believe me? Do you believe that what I’m saying is the truth?”

Elise didn’t respond.

She just stood there, still in shock, her mouth opening and closing as she stared at me.

“…Well then, Miss Elise. I will take my leave.”

I walked with my sister along the paved path in the schoolyard.

This is good.

I stood out a little, but that’s something that could be fixed.

I didn’t have any significant conflicts with Elise, nor did I make an extreme positive impression on her.

She would surely lose interest in me and wouldn’t interfere with me in any special way.

…But really, this was truly a troublesome development.

If I had made a wrong decision, at worst, I could have lost my life.

“…I never expected someone I wanted to avoid would come from that direction.”

I muttered the words softly.

The target of that remark was not… Elise.

In the first place, all of my actions towards her had been an appeal to that person.

I wanted to show that I was harmless, and that I had no intention of harming his friend.

I had to convey that to him very strongly.

That’s right…

It was the boy Elise had been with.

No, perhaps, she was a girl.

That person is a mysterious character whose gender, let alone background, was not properly explored in the original work.

The only information available was that they were a friend of Elise, a mere mob character.

Despite this, he had blond hair, blue eyes, and androgynous beauty. He was even given a proper name, which gave him mysterious preferential treatment.

His name was Cecil Imitation.

To Alvart, and to me as well, he’s——

——The Grim Reaper.
