Scum-lesse Oblige, I Have Been Reincarnated as a Scum Villain in an 18+ Game World, and I Absolutely Want to Grasp the Mob Life with the Power of My Knowledge of the Original Story - Chapter 13
Plan Name [Genesis]
Having completed my preparations, I return to the first floor of the mansion, where Enrique is waiting.
It’s really quiet here.
There is no one except Enrique.
“Hey, I’ve been waiting.”
“Yeah, sorry for the wait.”
“No need to apologize. I’ve heard about the events leading up to this point, but from here on, I don’t know anything about what’s going to happen. So, please tell me about it—”
When Enrique turns towards me, his eyes widen in disbelief.
“Huh?”
He looks surprised.
“W-What’s with that outfit…? Young lord, is that really you…? What in the world…”
Well, it’s only natural for Enrique to react like that.
That is because I’m dressed entirely in a black outfit and a grey mask.
It almost looks like I’m cosplaying.
By the way, this is an old costume stored in the Randall Duke’s mansion. It’s a somewhat Gothic outfit.
About the mask, I actually made it myself.
Well actually, I just took it from the storage room of our mansion and painted it grey.
Wearing this outfit makes me look like a very mysterious and suspicious person.
At first glance, I secretly thought that it looked cool.
I look like an aristocrat that is dressed in all black.
But to be honest, if you see it objectively, it probably looks abnormal.
Nevertheless, I remain completely unfazed and respond to Enrique as if it were a given.
“Enrique, I’m not the young lord.”
“What!?”
Enrique’s reaction is so entertaining.
He can probably make it as a comedian as well.
He is truly a man with many talents.
“Yeah, my name is—”
I say as I spread my arms toward the shocked Enrique.
“Genesis.”
Plan name [Genesis]
This is my second secret plan, my greatest plan yet.
The plan name was either ‘Genesis’ or ‘Zero’ but in the end I chose ‘Genesis’ because it sounded cooler.
Initially, I was planning to get through this event just with my first secret plan ‘say meaningful things’.
However, when I thought about it again, I realized that my first secret plan is just too risky.
Can I really ensure that I can avoid death in the future just by saying random meaningful things to Iris?
Isn’t that too risky?
Sure, in the story, Seig miraculously survived when he is attacked by the thieves, but there’s always a possibility of him dying due to some accident.
Even the heroine, Iris Webern is no exception.
There is no guarantee that she won’t die when she is kidnapped by the thieves.
To be honest, the world of ‘Last Aca’ is insane.
Especially, the second part of the game is brutally difficult.
The stronger you become, the stronger the enemies you will encounter.
For instance, the final boss is a monster who has endless magical power and is a master at wielding the special extradimensional magic.
Even the protagonist, Seig, who has trained seriously for ten years without taking a single day off, struggles to beat him.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the more the protagonist gets beaten up, the stronger he becomes.
Because of that, forums in the internet started calling him the ‘cute-faced machoist’.
Of course, in the end, the protagonist managed to beat the final boss to a pulp.
Yes, considering all of the information I know, I thought—
Isn’t it impossible to save this world without the main characters?
Hypothetically, even if I managed to avoid my tragic death, it seems highly unlikely that I could beat the final boss myself once the main protagonist or the main heroines are all gone.
More importantly, Sieg and Iris are at their initial stages now.
So, their current abilities and strength might be lower than mine.
In other words, even if I manage to survive as a mob character, if the main characters are all gone, my bright future as a mob character will become nothing but a lie.
The only ones who can save this world from the final boss are the main characters.
“Genesis…?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I responded so to Enrique.
That’s why I devised this plan.
…however, there is one flaw in this plan.
That is my current strength.
As of now, no matter how highly I estimate my strength, it’s only roughly on par with Enrique.
Even if I put on this cosplay and try to save Iris and Seig, if the enemy is too strong, it will all be over.
I’ll be defeated in no time.
However, God has not abandoned me.
I have luck on my side.
That’s right.
Judging by Enrique’s battle with the thugs a little while ago, it seems that Gregorio’s faction is not as strong as they are in the game yet.
While the Gregorio faction may become a powerful dark organisation that controls the entire Lyon region in the future, at this stage, they are nothing more than a bunch of thugs.
That’s why, I’m confident that my plan will work perfectly.
First of all, this mysterious person [Genesis] will save both Iris and Seig at the outskirts of Lyon.
Then, after making sure that they are okay, he will weak a havoc all over Lyon.
By doing so, the people can just blame everything on this mysterious person.
And so, the reputation of the aristocrats won’t be damaged.
After all is done, I’ll just show up, act all innocent and say things like,
“Oh, I had no idea there was a guy named Genesis. I’m completely clueless.”
By doing so, I should be able to avoid any involvement regarding the incident.
Then in the end, ‘Genesis’ will disappear mysteriously.
Yeah, this is a perfect plan.
And that’s how I explained my plan to Enrique.
To my surprise, Enrique looks at me with a solemn expression on his face and says,
“I see, so young lord…you’re saying that, no matter how hard you struggle, no matter how much you sacrifice, you will never show your true self to the public?”
