When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts! - Chapter 53 : Mistakes from 2 Years Ago [2]

Chapter 53 : Mistakes from 2 Years Ago [2]

Stopping by the side of a tree a few dozen meters from the road that continues from the gate, Miliana’s deep sigh escapes as she begins to speak.

“Haa… So, the reason you remember that incident from two years ago is because you were affected by the power of ‘Arrogance’ through the authority of ‘Gluttony’?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“And you have a contract with that ‘Gluttony’.”

“Yes.”

“Haah….”

Once again, a deep sigh escapes.

This situation is beyond my expectations.

To think that someone remembers that incident from two years ago, and that it’s due to the power of a demon related to the sin of ‘Gluttony.’

While caution has always been exercised against demons related to the sins due to their unknown abilities, if they can even neutralize the modification of ‘Arrogance,’ the level of alertness needs to be raised.

In addition, there is also the matter of confirming the memories of those who attended the party two years ago.

…Ah, this is too frustrating.

Anger welled up against myself for making such a trivial mistake.

Why did I make such a mistake?

This is a far cry from declaring to disrupt my own fate scenario.

Indeed, infuriating.

“Master.”

“Wraith-sama.”

Lilia and Lulua called out to me in concern

Looking in their direction, Lilia and Lulua were holding one of my hands, calming me down.

The anger that had filled my head slowly subsides, and calmness returns.

“…That was close.”

Yes, losing oneself in anger would make it impossible to handle the situation.

Things need to be dealt with one by one.

Redirecting my gaze forward, Miliana, who heard the story, has a blue face, perhaps affected by the magical power overflowing from my body when I was angry earlier.

“Miliana.”

“W-what is it?”

“Don’t be so frightened. I won’t kill you.”

“S-so… I see.”

Millianna visibly breathes a sigh of relief.

She usually behaves as the ideal noble daughter, so it’s rare to see such expressions on her face.

She must have been quite terrified of my magical power.

“Now, what else are you hiding from me?”

“I have a contract with another demon that is not a demon of sin.”

“What ability does it have?”

“The ability to see whatever I want to see whenever I want to see it.”

“Based on your story earlier, can you see things happening even if you’re not present at the scene?”

“Yes.”

A demon with the ability to see what it wants from a distance, even capable of devouring the power of ‘Gluttony,’ which can handle the abilities of demons related to sins…. It seems useful.

In addition to defeating the protagonist, and with the existence of demons not even appearing in the original work, the possibility of this world following the fate scenario of the original work is extremely low.

With these two abilities, one could deal with a wide range of unexpected situations.

“Miliana. Regarding this matter, I swear I won’t interfere. That’s what you wanted, right?”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

Miliana nodded obediently.

Probably, Miliana thought it would be difficult to hide this matter from me while attending the same magic academy, and she knew from the incident two years ago that I wouldn’t show mercy to those who opposed me.

Therefore, she informed me of the facts today to show that she has no hostile intentions.

“But, it’s not like you’re doing this for free, is it?”

“Oh?”

While nodding honestly, Millianna’s eyes still show a color of caution.

Indeed, she is the daughter of a duke.

“I want you to understand. I am the eldest daughter of the Duke’s family. I am good at reading people’s inner thoughts.”

“I see, then let me be clear. I swear I won’t harm you. In return, when I ask, use the power of the demon you have a contract with.”

“…What do you intend to do?”

“You don’t need to know about it right now.”

We exchanged glances for a while.

Eventually, Miliana closed her eyes and looked away.

“That’s fine with me, Wraith. But don’t make me do anything too reckless. It’s not easy for me to find the next fiancé after breaking off the engagement with the second prince due to the reasons for the cancellation of the engagement.”

It’s not due to the death of the second prince’s engagement but the engagement itself that was canceled.

Because of the medieval thinking that if she gets engaged to someone, they might die or their family might collapse, no noble family wants to engage with her.

So pitiful…

“I see.”

“There… I think you also have some responsibility for it, right?”

She says with a damp gaze.

Miliana’s actions seem to be difficult to hide during her time at the magic academy, especially when it comes to engaging with me.

And, she probably thought that I, who didn’t show any mercy to those who opposed me, would make it even harder for her.

That’s why she told me the truth today and showed that she had no hostile intentions.

“But, if no one wants to get engaged with you, you can come to me anytime.”

“Huh?… Is that…”

Once she understood the meaning of the words, Miliana’s face flushed red.

While enjoying her reaction in my heart, I move on to the next topic that she has probably forgotten.

“So, what do you want to confirm?”

“Uh, um… well…”

“Just say it.”

“What I wanted to ask is… about the Baron family student who dueled with you yesterday.”

A slight emotion flickered in Miliana’s words.

“I was waiting for you, and it just reached my ears while waiting. That student still hasn’t given up on liberating your slave.”

“I see…”

Well, that’s within expectations.

Since I played the game of this world in my previous life, I know the main character’s personality inside out.

If he gives up on something like this, he’s hardly qualified as a protagonist.

“…If things continue like this, that student will keep bothering us, and the Duke’s family will be underestimated. Do you have any plans to deal with it, or have you already taken action?”

“Of course.”

Knowing the personality of the protagonist helps to easily imagine his actions and the disadvantages for us resulting from them.

Therefore, immediately after the duel yesterday, various arrangements were made to prevent him from taking action.

Taking advantage of the information about the protagonist’s family situation as my previous life’s knowledge, various harassments were performed on the noble family that was causing trouble for his family. Pressure was applied to make them stop, and support for managing their territory was provided by the Heaville Duke’s family.

Next, a bribe was given to the clinic where the protagonist was hospitalized under the pretext of “recovering from an injury,” allowing him to be sent back to his home. This was to create an opportunity for him to meet his father, with the information about him challenging a member of the Heaville Duke’s family to a duel being relayed beforehand.

And so, upon returning home, the protagonist would learn about the duel with a member of the Heaville Duke’s family, and his father, who had been supported by the Heaville Duke’s family, might return to his previous self without the stress of losing his engagement.

These actions were made possible because, over the past two years, my father had transferred about half of the authority of the Heaville family to me.

By now, the protagonist is probably being told to return home.

Taking advantage of the part related to my knowledge of the previous life, which pertains to the protagonist’s family circumstances, I was able to make these arrangements.

He should be receiving such instructions by now as to how he should behave in the future.

All of the information can be conveyed without delving into the part related to my knowledge of the previous life, and Miliana commented with a slightly puzzled expression after understanding the meaning of my words.

“…You’re not a good person, are you?”

“Have I not been the same since forever?”

“…Yes, that’s right. You’ve always been bad.”

“Master is cool.”

Casually affirming Mlliana’s indirect criticism, Lilia speaks words of complete approval for me.

And I patted her on the head after being satisfied by her response.

“Well, I understand that you have taken measures properly. I learned what I wanted to know, so I’ll be going now.”

“Ah.”

Saying that, Miliana, accompanied by the demon of ‘Gluttony,’ headed toward her own classroom. By the way, Miliana is in the S-Third class, in a different class from mine.

“We should also head to our classroom soon.”

“Yes, we can’t be late from the second day.”

Triggered by Lilia and Lulua’s words, we also head toward our respective classrooms.

Parting ways with the other two who are in different classes, as we walk through the corridor to my class, a voice calls out from behind.

“Wraith Heaville.”

“……”

“Is it okay to not answer?”

Serane asked using honorific language because the person who called out to me was still here.

“It’s not necessary. It’s probably about yesterday anyways. You can ignore it.”

“Wraith Heaville, please stop!”

He called out to me again but this time louder… I didn’t stop nonetheless.

“Wraith Heaville, the headmaster is calling for you.”

Hearing his words, I had no other choice but to stop.

No matter what I say to them, the academy’s leading figures will be intervening in the duel that happened now.
