The Ordinary Sorcerer's Fun Otherworld Villain Play

“Kasutani-kun? Just now, what on earth was that…?”

“…”

Shiiiiit.

I got seen, didn’t I? I got seen, right?

“Kasutani-kun… Why won’t you tell me anything?”

Ah, somehow Snow-san was trembling.

Crap, is she angry? What should I do?

“…You may not know this, but I know that you are a very kind person.”

—I’m exposed. I have to kill her.

Killing or silencing—I didn’t want to do such dangerous things.

We weren’t friends or anything, but on that school trip night, she talked to me.

Come to think of it, I really didn’t have any friends.

White and the others seemed to adore me somewhat, but that was probably just because their hobbies and my hobbies aligned.

I—

“Kasutani-kun!!”

“Whoa!”

That startled me.

When I looked, Snow-san was approaching me steadily.

What should I do? Should I run away now?

I concentrated curse power in my legs—

“Surely, surely you might not believe it, but…! Kasutani-kun. You see, you were my friend! In our previous lives, we were friends!!”

“Eh, we were friends? That was okay?”

“Eh?”

“Eh? Ah…”

Crap.

“Eh… Wait, Kasutani-kun… Just now, what did you…?”

This was bad. Also, wasn’t this weird?

Snow-san—could it be she remembered her previous life?

If so, then my words just now were… Oh no, oh no.

I had to cover it up!

I was homeless, lowest class!!

Uooooooo!!

“…Haha!! Border Margrave’s daughter, Snow-sama!! These terribly rude words!! This homeless one—this tongue, this mouth of mine was bad!! I humbly accept any punishment for disrespectful words to a noble!!”

Fold my body and rub my head against the ground!

Dogeza!

Lower-class move!!

How’s that!!

“Kasutani-kun, you remember, don’t you?”

No good. It seemed no good.

Why? My high intelligence acting wasn’t working?

Could it be—Snow-san was smart?

No, believe in the dogeza…

Mm, the ground’s smell was strange… Because I preserved the field?

There was no smell of soil…? No, now I should concentrate on Snow-san and the dogeza.

“What are you saying, noble-sama? As you can see, I’m just a poor serf… Ah, at the cathedral, this I… This one’s kind noble-sama who defended one like me… For your sake, I do this dogeza…”

“This world has no concept of dogeza.”

“Seriously? This world doesn’t have dogeza?!”

“I lied. But fufu, it seems the liar has been found.”

“…!?!?”

Snow-san put her long index finger to her lips and smiled mischievously.

Co-cool…!

Fearless yet stylish! The exchange was somehow intellectual too!

“Dogeza is recognized in this world as well as the highest expression of apology. Kasutani-kun, with that reaction just now, you can’t talk your way out anymore, can you?”

“…”

Don’t panic. The mastermind villain I aimed for didn’t get flustered.

Soil—touch soil and calm down. Damn it, right now the field was preserved with a skill!

I couldn’t play with soil!

“Kasutani-kun, please raise your face. Surely there’s a misunderstanding between us. I have no intention of turning you in to the church.”

“Hm?”

“I’m sorry. I never imagined you also transferred with your memories… Homeless, G-rank Gift… I deeply, truly deeply apologize for leaving you alone like this until now.”

“Eh…”

No, I wasn’t really left alone that much.

Actually, Snow-san occasionally gave me food in the village.

Thanks to that, I got tangled up by other reincarnator heroes, but well, it became training for curse power manipulation, so all good!

“That you hide your true identity, hide that you have your memories—it’s only natural. Leaving you, my classmate and also my friend, homeless like this was all due to my weakness… I can’t ask you to forgive me.”

Snow-san knelt down right there and bowed her head to me.

Without caring that her beautiful clothes would get dirty.

It was beautiful.

Hmm… Good. Blessed birth, talent, and the nobility to not flaunt it.

Huh… Could it be Snow-san had high protagonist aptitude?

“Even so, Kasutani-kun. No, Kasutani-kun—won’t you listen to what I have to say?”

“What you have to say…?”

“Yes. Something is wrong with this world… The gods, the church, the reincarnator heroes, and the numerous phenomena similar to Life Field…”

“…?”

“The church incident. Right now, you’re about to get caught up in something big. I won’t let anyone slip through anymore. In any world, I want to do what I should do as a noble.”

“…??”

What was she talking about?

Come to think of it, Grelod also said something similar.

“Kasutani-kun, I’m gathering companions.”

“Companions?”

“Yes. I have a purpose. To restore the memories of everyone who lost their memories and transferred to this world. And to return to the original world together with everyone.”

“…”

“Leaving you homeless and alone like this until now… I fully understand this is a selfish request. Even if you think I’m recruiting you after seeing your power, I can’t help it. But I won’t cower anymore. I won’t leave you alone anymore.”

“…”

I secretly circulated curse power to my eyes.

In Snow-san’s body, a rainbow-colored brilliance circulated faintly.

I couldn’t see the movement of magic power peculiar to when magic users lied.

Then were these words her true feelings?

“Please, Kasutani-kun, won’t you become friends with me once more… No, become companions? To survive this world together.”

Snow-san held out her hand.

Hmm, joining up with classmates here, huh?

That seemed scary—like my activities as Curse or my identity would be exposed.

How should I refuse?

Here, should I go with an unsympathetic small-minded move?

Like: you left me alone until now and now you’re acting like a hypocrite!
