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 39
Epilogue (Fake) Last Oblige
“Oh, how was it?”
“…he’s a truly strange guy.”
Having escaped through the window of the mayor’s office, which is such a mess that I can’t make sense of it anymore, I meet up with Enrique in a dark alley.
“Heh, really. Did the negotiations break down?’
“Gregorio passed out after he shouted the name of his own guild. I didn’t even get the chance to negotiate with him,”
The moment he heard this, Enrique’s expression becomes subtly uneasy.
“What’s that about?”
“Don’t ask me.”
I reply with a sigh.
I can’t understand the thought process of a madman.
“I really don’t understand him.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With that, me and Enrique return to the Randall family mansion in Lyon.
It’s already morning by the time we arrive.
I’m utterly exhausted.
I just want to go to bed.
“But hey, this is the end, right?”
“Yeah, there should be no more problem. At least for the time being, the ‘Bright Night Helle Nacht’ is in a state of destruction. Even if they’re trying to make a move again, it will take quite a bit of time.”
“I see. Well, in the first place, I guess it wouldn’t be wise to announce that the underground guild is almost destroyed by a little boy single handedly, right?”
That’s right.
Currently, the mayor and I are in a deadlock.
Fortunately or unfortunately, both the mayor and I have quite considerable positions in public.
“If he tries to do something dangerous, we can just do the same thing again.”
In short, all we need to do now is just wait for the guild to grow.
Surely, Gregorio and I will continue to maintain a delicate distance and keep a close eye on each other.
“It seems the reputation of the nobles still can be protected.”
“Well, some stupid nobles might still be passed out at the soiree, but there should be no problem…probably. Fortunately for me, my father and mother has returned to our mansion, so they won’t take the blame for anything.”
“Then, what about the knight order?”
“There seem to be no problem as well.”
I’m sure the knights captured the battered and surrendered Bard, and that’s the end of it.
About Haven, where the incident took place…well, yeah, maybe it’s for the best in its own way.
But I’ll never go backthere for the rest of my life though.
As me and Enrique continue to walk, a large mansion comes to our view.
It’s the Randall family mansion.
“Ultos-sama~!!”
A voice echo from above.
Looking up, I see Riera sticking her head out of a window on the third floor of the mansion.
“Oh, that maid has been awake the whole time.”
Enrique says so with a sigh beside me.
“I’ll head back to the mansion then. I want to get some sleep.”
“It’s been a while since I went to a big town like this, so it’s time for some drinks.”
“Well, then…”
With that, I say my goodbyes and turn my back on Enrique.
“Oh, by the way,”
Enrique’s voice came from behind.
“What are you going to do from here on, young lord?”
“Ah…”
From here on, huh?
I recall the upcoming storyline from the game.
The protagonist, Zeke, will rise from his defeat and begins training in preparation for the upcoming enrolment at the academy.
On the other hand, Iris should also continue her training and steadily gaining strength.
As for Gregorio…well, since he is really capable of being the mayor, please do your best in politics. There should be no problem as long as he doesn’t get the Randall family involved in his plans.
Then, when Seig, a mere villager, enters the academy, fate will begin to take a turning point.
Seig will do his best to face his enemies with various cute heroines by his side.
I admit it. Indeed, Seig’s high school romantic comedy seems like it would be enjoyable.
—however.
Honestly, I have no intention of standing up against the monsters that are going to appear from now on.
This world is a crazy and ruthless place full of powerful individuals, including S-rank adventurers.
The knight’s order’s organizational power at the headquarter is even more formidable, on top of that, the nobles in the royal capital are a bunch of villains…
Moreover, there are legendary dragons and demons sealed 20,000 over years ago.
Why on earth are there dangerous creatures sealed away in the basement of an academy in the first place…???
Are the teachers all insane???
Or do they not know the word ‘safety’?
I just don’t get it.
What’s even more absurd is that Seig, a mere villager, apparently can defeat them easily, that makes the least sense of all…
I should get a hold of myself.
“I no longer have any obligation to fulfil.”
I said so to Enrique.
Saying so, I feel relieved.
I survived the Lyon event, no one died in the incident, and I even manged to avoid my family’s reputation downfall.
I no longer have any obligations or duties.
That’s right…
Finally—
“I can return to my normal life.”
The moment I said so…
“Ahahaha.”
An explosive laugh came from behind.
Enrique laughs with joy.
“No, no, young lord. That’s impossible. You’ll stay like this for the rest of your life.”
I go through the mansion gate.
“Just watch.”
I reply without looking back to Enrique.
“From now on, I’ll live my stress-free mob life.”
Yes.
My plan, ‘Scum-lesse Oblige’, has come to fruition.
From now on, I can just relax and enjoy my peaceful life.
I can even throw in random encouragement such as, ‘Do your best, Seig!’ or ‘I always knew you could do it!’
The sound of hurried footsteps running down the mansion stairs can be heard.
It seems like Riera is coming to the entrance to greet me.
Finally, the sun begins to shine.
Bathing in that sunlight, I feel the anticipation of the radiant mob life that awaits me—
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
However, it turns out, life isn’t that sweet.
It’s exactly three days later, on a sunny afternoon, that I realized my ‘Scum-lesse Oblige’ plan hasn’t progressed a single step; in fact, it seems to have taken about four steps backward.
Author’s Note:
Scum-lesse Oblige àA half baked plan. Comparable to a middle school student enthusiastically declaring, ‘I’ll finish my summer homework early this year!’.
Enrique à Thinking what the protagonist said must be a joke.
Riera à Ultos’ beautiful maid who waits patiently for his return.
