I, Who Was Dismissed as Worthless Failure by my Family and Fiancée, Discovered I had Reincarnated as a Game Character I Raised with Great Care and Vowed to Take Control of my Life and Defy Anyone who Opposes Me. - Chapter 17: What a Cowardly Move

Chapter 17: What a Cowardly Move

Upon hearing Shishiru-sensei’s words, I stopped in my tracks after undoing the enslavement magic and tried to leave. 

It seemed that the fool told to wait was still here.

At the same time, I sensed that if I answered incorrectly, it would result in a checkmate and it left my back drenched in sweat like a waterfall.

If it were a matter of determining superiority by violence, I could easily knock her out without question, but in other aspects, I was weak. It had to become a future challenge.

“… However, even if I said that, even someone labelled as a failure like me has a high sense of pride. Shishiru-sensei is someone with power, feared as a witch, and someone beautiful, with an enchanting body. Who would believe that you were enslaved as a sex slave by someone like me, and moreover, that you want to be enslaved by me, huh? It would be normal to think someone has gone crazy, wouldn’t it?”

“It’s simple. With the magical item that reacts to lies and glows, the Orb of Truth, you can spread rumours without problems. Then, everyone will know I got enslaved twice, and you were responsible for it. They will also know that I still want to be enslaved by you. If they know all this, they will believe my story is true, right?”

“…”

The item she mentioned, the Orb of Truth, is a magic item used during trials and such. 

How can she be so cowardly to use such a precious item?

And so, I cast the enslavement magic on Shishiru-sensei.

There was trouble at school, and I never imagined it would lead to Shishiru-sensei becoming my slave. 

Nonetheless, I didn’t think it would impact my revenge the next day… or at least, I wanted to believe that it wouldn’t.

“Hey, you scum. Can’t you even tell when my glass is empty? Starting tomorrow, I’ll officially take over this house, so you should behave and not do anything that will upset me. Of course, if you want to be kicked out with just the clothes on your back when I actually take over, that’s a different story!!”

I was forced to have a meal with my family, and my younger brother Douglas was already taking shots at me. I was already sick of this, which is why I’ve avoided eating with them as much as possible.

Why should I have to eat with them just so Douglas can take out his frustrations and seek validation by putting me down?

It used to be unbearable, but now I don’t even take his words seriously anymore. 

They’re just the ramblings of a fool who doesn’t know his place, and compared to before, it’s much easier for me to stay calm.
