The Ordinary Sorcerer's Fun Otherworld Villain Play - Chapter 12 - My Name is Curse

“Your name, I want to know at least your name.”

“…Me too. I want to know your name.”

“Fu, hehe, u-u-um, I-I’m Famine. A-and you are?”

This was that.

A villain appearance event.

Settling the situation with overwhelming power, disappearing with a cool introduction!

Th-these guys get it!

What good people.

B-but still… for now I didn’t want to be identified.

Carefully, I’d give a fake name!

“Name, huh. My name is Kasutani… no, wait.”

“Ka… sorry, could I hear it one more time… maybe?”

Giving my real name here would be bad.

Um, um. A good fake name…

My name was Kasutani, so—

Kasu, tani, um, some good fake name.

Stylish yet evil, and with good sense…

“Kaa… su…”

“””…Curse?”””

“Eh?”

Eh, wait.

“Curse… you are, Curse…”

“Curse… in ancient Druidic, I believe…”

“Curse, fu, hehe, good scent…”

“No wai—”

“””Eh?”””

The three’s dejected faces.

Like I’d disappointed some expectation.

“Ah, ahem…!”

No good, I’d go with this now.

“Yes, my name is Curse.”

I’d show them. The ad-lib I trained in Life Field!

“—The destination of all curses in this world, the one who governs curses.”

I kind of introduced myself.

But, Curse…

For a Sorcerer class, Curse wasn’t bad.

“””Curse…”””

Oh crap.

Wasn’t I super villain-like right now?

I went and did character setting on impulse, but it wasn’t bad.

Now I just had to see through this charismatic villain play!

“Curse… you are—”

“There are no words I should speak to you yet.”

“…We don’t have the qualifications to speak with you as equals… is that what you mean?”

“It’s not yet that time.”

“Fuhe… why did Curse-kun save us…”

“I already said.”

“Eh…”

“—Three apocalyptic knights. Domination, War, Famine.”

“Ah…”

“Our names…”

“Your destination is me. When you’re about to be swallowed by that karma, the one standing in your way is me.”

“Fuhe, in other words, this meeting is, d-d-destiny, right…”

“We are… I see…”

“Curse, your mask… won’t you even show your face…”

Eh, I was scared of personal info being exposed so no.

But wait.

A true villain needed aesthetics.

Being asked to show my face, and saying no because I was scared of being identified.

Like some streamer without resolve…

Alright… I’d remove it a bit…

Huh, what, this mask was stuck to my face.

[Old Man Mask (Black) is a cursed item. Due to “Old Man’s Curse,” the wearer cannot remove it without offering their life—]

Ha!!

Crack.

Ah, it broke.

[Old Man Mask (Black) damaged… damaged!? Player, what are you thinking?]

Navi’s voice trembled.

No, it was different, because this thing wouldn’t come off.

I managed to break it in a good way so just one eye could be seen.

“A face…”

“Is this good?”

Alright, and then… ah, right.

Places wrapped in curse power changed color, so should I try circulating curse power to my eye?

This would also prevent identification—

[Curse Power Manipulation – Enhancement Type in use. Ah—]

Huh?

Hot hot hot hot hot hot!!!!!

Eh, no way!! What’s this!?

My eye was hot!! Like being stabbed!

Was curse power bad for eyes!?

This was bad, I had to stop curse power manipulation quickly—

“Black flame pupils… burning like… that pattern is—”

“…What beautiful colored magic eyes…”

“Fu, he… first time seeing such beautiful magic eyes in a mortal…”

Eh, that reaction…

Was super good… like there was wind blowing or something.

No good, I couldn’t stop now saying it hurt!

Ngaaaaaaa, it huuuuuurts.

[Famine Knight – Lv999, SSS-rank Gifted]

“So stroooong!!!!!”

“””Eh?”””

I messed up!

Roar, my quick-wittedness!!

“—Become strong, you… I have slight expectations.”

Ah, I didn’t even know what I was saying anymore.

I definitely couldn’t bluff my way out—

“You are… yes, that’s what it means. I understand.”

“…You’re even more lonely than us, how—”

“We had each other… b-b-but you have no one… you’re always alone… despite that, you saved us…”

Huh?

Seemed it worked?

At least they didn’t realize I was scared of their strength, right?

Somehow it felt somewhat moist though.

Must be my imagination! Good!

“Curse, no—my king.”

“Strong traveler, no, Curse King—my lord.”

“Fuhe, become strong. Command acknowledged, m-master.”

The three knelt on one knee, bowing.

Hmm? Eh, it worked right?

They weren’t attacking?

G-good, I’d hurry ho—

“Hey, what’s this joke? This mana is…!? Hey, brats get out of the cave immediately!!”

Hmm?

Who was that?

Some mean-looking handsome guy suddenly appeared—

“I-instructor… e-everyone fainted… I-I also lost strength in my legs… eh, those girls…”

Snow-white skin.

Pupils reflecting the cloudless July sky.

A beautiful girl with shining golden hair.

Ah, crap.

Top caste group of four from my class!

Why were they here!?

“Shit!? Didn’t make it in time! …White-haired northerner. Red-haired elf, black-haired… Drow… wait… I recognize your faces! At the holy land—”

“””…You saw us. Mortal.”””

“Tch!! Escaped weapons from the Unexplored Continent faction…!! Why are you here!”

“””Church’s sword, reincarnated heroes… you’re in the way.”””

“…! Miracle authorization request!!”

A hair-trigger atmosphere.

The encounter between the prophecy that would destroy the world and the sword that would save it.

As long as either lived, the other couldn’t.

A fated battle—

“…Stop.”

“””—As you command.”””

“…Huh? Wh-what? What’s happening, did you just take orders from them?”

The mean-looking handsome guy’s movements stopped.

Good, he was unexpectedly rational.

“…Hey, is it you? The owner of this abnormal mana… no, an even more concentrated power equal to divine energy.”

“…………”

Scary… serious adults were scary.

“Hey, say something. …Did you just make those three obey your orders? …That mask, those magic eyes… who are you?”

“I-instructor…”

Instructor?

Eh, wait, that was Snow-san right?

Hmm~? I didn’t really get it but was that it?

Like a guardian?

I should keep this peaceful here. Or rather I seriously wanted to go home already.

“…You’re raising them well. That’s good, church knight.”

“Huh? What are you… could it be, you bastard, you know these brats? …Tch, that’s lost recognition obstruction magic. Shit, at this distance it’s this… how powerful is this magic effect?”

“Knight, withdraw. We should not meet yet.”

“Sorry, but I’m also working. I can’t let these brats end as chicks.”

The mean-looking handsome guy readied two swords.

…Hmm?

Huh, was this turning into a fight?

I said withdraw right?

No, calm down.

If I didn’t show hostility, we’d surely understand each other.

“””…You drew your sword? Toward our revered one.”””

No way, why were you guys getting angry?

Those eyes were scary…

“Ah…”

“Tch, run! Brat! With your Gift, you can wake the other three! I’ll hold them off here—”

Snow-san with weakened legs, crying and smiling.

The knight with a changed expression.

“””Do you think we’d allow that?”””

The three girls’ low voices.

From raised hands, Domination, War, Famine’s powers were directed at the knight—

“Hey.”

“””Tch…!!”””

“Stop it, there won’t be a next time.”

“””Tchtchtch!! Yes!”””

The three girls knelt on the spot and bowed their heads.

That was close! Those guys were seriously going to kill him!

Scary… why did they immediately choose the option to kill…

Having classmates killed before my eyes would seriously be rough.

Let’s all go home already. Right? I had field work tomorrow too.

How to settle this situation.

Why wouldn’t anyone listen?

Ah, if only.

—If only I could manipulate others as I pleased with a single word.

If only we could talk peacefully.
