Reincarnated as the Villain Who Experiments on Orphanage Kids – Why Are the Test Subject Girls Begging Me for "Night Experiments"? - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: I Tried to Do Human Experiments and Remembered My Past Life Memories

” Don’t be scared. This is an experiment for you, okay? ”

It was a dim underground room. The only light came from a lantern, turning the place into a secret lab.

Test tubes lined up along the stone walls, and right next to them sat one, two, three crystals for measuring magic power density.
There were plenty of magic restraints too. It was the perfect setup for human experiments.

And in the middle of the room stood a bed.
A single girl was there, looking anxious as she waited.

“…Does it… hurt?”

The one who asked that with her worried voice was the blonde, blue-eyed girl named Priere.

She was the beautiful girl who had recently come to the orphanage in the royal capital. Today was her birthday—she had just turned ten.
The perfect age for a test subject.

“It’s fine, there’s no pain at all. I’m sure it’ll feel really good. I’ll give you pleasure and a sense of power like you’ve never felt in your life, plus real strength.”

I grinned and lifted the flask filled with purple liquid.

This was a prototype made by extracting the core of a monster.
Even one drop inside the body would activate the cells and grant power equal to a monster’s.

This was the first time trying it on a person, but if it succeeded, I’d get the strongest power. Pleasure and omnipotence should come with it too.

Well, the chance of success was extremely low, though.
In the original story, a bunch of people had turned into monsters because of this.

—Huh? Original story?

Something suddenly tugged at the back of my mind.
I looked at the girl again.

“……………………”

She was standing there in just her underwear.
The thin fabric was so sheer that her most important parts were almost visible, and her pajamas lay discarded on the floor.

No, she hadn’t taken them off. I had stripped her.

—Exactly following the original story’s steps.

“…Sai-sama?”

…Something was wrong.

My name was Mad Sai Entist.

After graduating from the Royal Academy, I’d worked there as a researcher, but my extreme experiments got me kicked out.

After that, I opened an orphanage. On the surface I acted like a good person, but behind the scenes I was planning human experiments.

Priere was supposed to be test subject number one.
Yeah, I was Mad Sai Entist. An evil scientist.
That’s how it was supposed to be, but…

“Ugh—”

The moment I closed my eyes, memories from my old life came flooding back.

—The smell of the lab.
—The bitter feeling when the professor cornered me with questions.
—The instant noodle cups scattered around the lab.
—The two energy drinks I downed every day.
—The lab mates who spread futons on the floor and slept right there in the university.
—Ramen.
—Soy sauce ramen.
—Salt ramen.
—Tonkotsu ramen.
—Family ramen.
—Jiro-style ramen.
—Rich tonkotsu ramen.
—Rich tonkotsu seafood tsukemen.
—Rich tonkotsu ramen with nori topping.

“That’s right! I’m—!”

I’m not the orphanage director. I’m not Mad Sai Entist, and I’m not a scientist.

I’m—a science grad student from Japan.

A guy who holed up in the university lab, getting grilled by the professor with basic questions while running insect experiments. Just a regular grad student.

“What the heck is going on?”

In short, I had memories from my previous life. Or more accurately, I’d been reincarnated.

—Into the world of that erotic game I used to play as a hobby.

And I wasn’t some strong main character or final boss. I was the villain who turned orphans into monsters and got sliced up by the protagonist in the end.
I’d been reincarnated as Mad Sai Entist.

“…No way.”

And the girl in front of me was the one who turned into a monster in the original story.

“…Ah.”

When her teary eyes met mine, I accidentally dropped the flask.

With a sharp crack, the glass shattered and the liquid spilled out. Still, I couldn’t look away from her.

—Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad.

I was just about to do something that could never be taken back.
I’d stripped a ten-year-old kid down to her underwear and was about to turn her into a monster with human experiments…

“We’re stopping for today.”

“Huh?”

I took a deep breath, took off my lab coat, and draped it over her shoulders.

“Aren’t we doing the experiment?”

“Yeah. I’m not in the mood anymore.”

“But if we do the experiment, won’t I get pleasure like I’ve never felt before?”

Who the hell told her that lie?
For a second I thought that, but it was all my fault. The me from before I remembered my past life.

“Ahem… Must’ve been your imagination.”

“That can’t be!”

“Sorry, but I’ve been using my head too much and now I’m starving. I’m gonna go slurp some ramen.”

“Please wait! I want the experiment—”

“When you’re an adult.”

I brushed her off vaguely, ignored her voice, and left the lab.
I headed straight out into the night streets like I was running away.

“So, what am I supposed to do now?”

After leaving the orphanage, I clutched my head in a back alley.

I’d been reincarnated into a game world, and if things kept going like this, I was heading straight for the bad end. I had no idea what to do.

Of course I had zero plans to do human experiments, and I wanted to live quietly, but…

“…I don’t know.”

There was no way I’d know the right answer.

So for now…

“Might as well slurp some ramen.”

First things first—fill my stomach. They say you can’t fight on an empty belly. Time to eat ramen. Ramen.

This world had a Western European vibe, but for some reason it had stuff like ramen and Chinese restaurants that totally broke the atmosphere.

I guess that’s because the original was a Japanese erotic game. It felt weird, sure, but personally I was grateful.
After all, ramen is the best food ever.

“Welcome!”

When I got to the ramen shop, I ordered without even looking at the menu.

“Rich tonkotsu ramen with nori topping.”

“We only do soy sauce ramen here, buddy.”

“Then soy sauce ramen with nori topping.”

“Coming right up!”

When the ramen arrived, I slurped it down with everything I had.
Like I was trying to look away from reality.

But at that moment, I had no idea.

“……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Sai-sama, why won’t you do the experiment with me?”

What the test subject girl was thinking, what she was feeling, how she interpreted what happened today.

And that it would lead to her begging for the experiment.

I had no clue any of that was coming.
