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

Ultos-sama is The Best in The World…! No Matter What Anyone Says, He is The Best in The World

“Well, what should I do now?””

After returning to the mansion, I take the cursed necklace that I gratefully received from Carla-sensei and soaked it in salt.

After all, it’s the famous cursed necklace from ‘Last Aca’, there is no harm in being cautious.

By the way, it seems that Carla-sensei has left for the royal capital. It should take about three to four months for her to arrive there.

Farewell, Carla-sensei.

Hopefully, when I enrol to the academy, she will be a bit kinder to me as her ‘First apprentice’.

“Ahh~~ What should I do…”

But unfortunately, despite my relationship with Carla-sensei has somewhat improved, the situation hasn’t changed at all.

That’s right.

My dream life as a mob character…or rather, the problem of Seig-kun’s lack of motivation remains unsolved.

I still have no connections with Seig-kun.

Without a natural point of contact, it’s hard to make a move.

On the other hand, it would be troublesome if I made an arbitrary approach and ended up giving a weird impression like I did with Genesis.

“Alright, alright, Dear Lady Iris…”

Half resigned, I sit at my desk and start writing a letter.

By the way, the person I’m writing to is Iris.

I’ve received a lot of messages from Iris, such as,

‘What was the thing that you told me the other day? Tell me.’

‘Come to my territory soon, or I’ll come over there.’

To be honest, it’s quite a bit of a nuisance…but it feels heartwarming at the same time.

Given that her family is not a high ranked-noble, it’s not really a problem to ignore her.

But it was revealed much later in the game that she actually has royal blood.

It’s better not to tempt fate.

So, I’ve been evading her with all sorts of excuses like,

‘I’m having a stomach ache’ or ‘My magical power is a bit off right now…’

“Wait, did I already use ‘My magical power went out of control so I had to stay in bed’? Maybe ‘My whole body is convulsing because I trained to hard’ would work…? I’m running out of illness excuses.”

Suddenly,

“Ultos-sama, another one of those letters again?”

I hear a voice coming from behind me.

“Ah, it’s you, Riera.”

I turn and see the beautiful blonde maid, Riera, who is looking at me with a bit of exasperated expression.

“Ultos-sama, aren’t you going to make any moves soon?”

“Make any moves? What do you mean?”

“You achieved such a splendid result in Lyon…it’s frustrating! Despite all your achievements, you’re not receiving any recognition. Lately, all you’ve been doing is writing fake letters and receiving strange necklaces, not making any moves at all!”

“Just so you know, I have no intention of doing anything like what happened in Lyon for a while.”

What exactly does she want me to do? I have to make sure to make it clear.

“B-But…I want the world to know about your achievements, Ultos-sama…”

Riera says so as she looks down sadly.

Ah, what a beautiful and kind hearted maid.

But Riera, giving me that sad, abandoned-puppy look won’t work.

I’m not going to tell anyone about what I did.

Of course.

Who in their right mind would admit to ‘confronting a widespread criminal organization’ or ‘attacking the mayor in the middle of the night’?

It would make me seem like some kind of unreasonable savage.

And besides, I know all of that information from a game. I’d be written off as a complete madman.

“Then at least, please do something spectacular!”

“Something spectacular? Like what?”

“T-That’s right! Well, for example—”

Saying so, Riera quickly takes out a notebook.

I’ve never seen that notebook before.

“What’s that?”

“A note! Lately, I’ve been thinking about your achievements every night before bed, Ultos-sama.”

I see, so that’s why my maid seems tired lately.

Maybe I should give her a vacation sometime???

As I think about such things, I nod along to Riera.

“…so, what do you suggest I do?”

“Yes! First, Ultos-sama will venture into the field of international diplomacy.”

“Hmm…”

Diplomacy, huh?

Well, it doesn’t particularly interest me, but the Randall Ducal Family is quite a prestigious family after all.

So, it’s a possibility—

“Well, it’s not entirely out of the question.”

“That’s right! And then~~”

As she says so, Riera closes her eyes.

She has a dreamy expression on her face.

“In diplomatic situations, Ultos-sama can manipulate other countries and take control of the situation in a blink of an eye!”

“I see?”

Alright, I should give her some time off.

“Riera…don’t push yourself if you’re tired.”

“N-No, what’s with that pitying look!! I-I’m not tired at all, and I’m serious!”

Honestly, I’m more scared when she’s serious.

“…why would a kid go to diplomatic meetings in the first place? Besides, the leaders of each country aren’t that foolish.”

“No matter how wise the leaders of each country may be, they wouldn’t stand a chance against Ultos-sama when he’s serious! I’m sure Ultos-sama will be able to manipulate other countries like pawns!”

“…I see.”

Riera’s eyes are sparkling with excitement.

However, I can’t stop thinking,

‘Is she being serious??’

Seriously, what’s going on here?

A kid outsmarting diplomats from various countries! It sounds like a sloppy web novel plot.

“Riera, that kind of thing would never happen in real life.”

I sigh and say so to the maid who seems determined to keep me away from my mob life.

“Anyway, my father isn’t foolish enough to send me to such important meetings.”

It just doesn’t make any sense at all.

My father is certainly a good-natured person, naïve and easily deceived, but despite all that, he should understand aristocratic common sense.

Even though my father was manipulated by Gregio in the game, there is no way he would send a child like me on an errand to diplomatic events.
