The Ordinary Sorcerer's Fun Otherworld Villain Play - Chapter 31 - One Who Bears Rights

“Grelod, your concerns are correct. Your path ended here. What awaits those whose path has ended is loss. This world steals, is stolen from, continues revolving—living means precisely that.”

In these 5 years, I’ve gotten quite good at villain moves too. Mufufu.

“Keh, a brat who hasn’t lived even as long as my pinky finger talks like he knows everything… But frustrating as it is, maybe you’re right. It’s my turn that’s coming…”

Oh, this one’s cool somehow.

She started lighting a cigarette with the fire on her own body.

I see. A villain’s final moments should be like this.

Before I knew it, I no longer disliked this hag that much.

“…Brat, tell me. Why do you seek this? Inheriting this from me, from the Insect Cult—what will you do?”

“Just do what should be done.”

Field work has lots of things I have to do, after all.

“So what is that, I’m asking… Damn brat, I’m saying I’ll judge. Whether I can entrust you with the karma of us whom you destroyed—I’ll decide, right now…”

…Is this about whether I can be entrusted with the field?

Alright, if so, should I talk about my special fertilizer blend?

Umm, should I convey the Kasutani original recipe combining Large Scorpion poison glands, Man-Eater Apple honey, and Green Wyvern dung?

“First, the Large Scorpion’s—”

“Grelod Majerm. Our king will end the gods’ tyranny. That’s what he’s saying.”

“Ah, White.”

Squish.

Space distorted, and they appeared from within.

White, Scarlet, Kuro—the three of them.

“Tch, fast. As expected, you lot are with this brat… Hihi, Domination, War, Famine. Three calamities—well done… No, if it’s you, it’s possible, huh. —Those words, there are no lies, right?”

“Eh?”

“Our king needs no false words. Ancient witch, you who received the king’s curse should understand.”

“Hihihihi, truly irritating… But this too is fate, huh? End the gods’ tyranny. Then you lot know. The gods’ apostles’ existence too, the 7 Great Gods’ machinations too.”

“…Honestly, we suspected you in the Insect Cult might be the gods’ pawns… But…”

“Forget it. Even if so, the fate of us and you lot killing each other doesn’t change. The right to challenge gods is always, in any era, allowed only to the one and only strongest existence. Ah, just as that brat says—living is stealing, continuing to be stolen from.”

Wait? Isn’t the conversation progressing in a strange direction somehow?

Hey hey hey, this is troubling, White.

The talk was progressing nicely with my perfect eloquence.

I should correct the conversation’s trajectory here—

“Very well, I’ll acknowledge it. In my, Grelod Majerm’s, name—the right. —Brat, your name.”

Wait? It seems workable. Hmm, well, I don’t really understand, but all good!

“—Curse, that’s too much!”

“Stop it, White… It’s our lord’s wish, right?”

“…Keh. Curse, huh. …From now on, you’ll have it hard. You’re still going?”

“The path is already decided.”

“…Really, truly annoying. Did I get too old? Being swayed just by the strength of the damn brat who stole my long-cherished wish, my lover… Hey, Curse.”

“…”

“Well, if you become a god… That too is a bit… not bad, huh.”

[Grelod Majerm has died]

Whoooosh.

Wind blew.

From Grelod’s body crumbling into ash, a paper woven from magic power—a title deed—fluttered down to my hand.

This is the field’s title deed…!

Fufu, various things happened, but I obtained it.

Now, into the item box for now, and—

“My lord, as expected. To have already finished the battle with the witch.”

“Ma-Master, so-sorry I was late.”

“…Good. Surrounding and fighting in a group isn’t my preference.”

“My king… The Insect Cult’s goal was the same as ours. They too were wronged by the gods…”

“One person is enough.”

“Eh?”

“That one’s words are correct. One king challenging the divine throne is sufficient. More than that wounds their pride. Only I need to advance this path.”

“…Curse, you are…”

“Curse… You’re taking everything on alone again…”

“Ma-Master, if, if you do that…”

“The time has come.”

“””…!!”””

“What was necessary has been obtained. After this is just advancing the path. Can you follow?”

5 years since coming to the otherworld.

I finally obtained my own field.

White and the others sometimes have anguished faces lately too.

I should recommend field work therapy here.

Stats rise too—it’s full of good things.

Yeah yeah. A good villain is also a good boss.

“…Yes, Curse… Your resolve… I… my life… in exchange…”

“Curse is us… protection… everything… we stake…”

“All… this time… church… world… enemy… turn…”

White and the others nodded.

Somehow they have quite serious faces.

Their voices were also small, muttering.

Fatigue?

Yeah, I’m tired today too.

For now, let’s disband here and sleep quickly.

Tomorrow I have to think about what to do with this liberated field!

Ah, but is it bad if a homeless person suddenly becomes a field owner?

Hmm, well, I’ll think about that gradually. All good!!

Kasutani Takihito’s otherworld leisurely slow life starts tomorrow!

Should I make ridges between fields and waterways with sorcery~?

Ah, I’m looking forward to it! Living is fun!

Yahoo!

◇◇◇◇

~And then, the next day, at Holga Village Maris Grand Cathedral~

“Defendant, Kasutani Takihito!! You committed crimes against the Empire and its people!! The charges are: kidnapping the reincarnator heroes! And murdering Holga Village counselor, Grelod Majerm, as well as occupying land without transferring rights!! In the name of Chief Deity Maris and the 7 Great Gods! —A death sentence!!!!!!!!”

Why…
