When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts! - Chapter 63 : The Final Preparations

Chapter 63 : The Final Preparations

“How are things progressing?”

“Yes, the two students in question, Rein and Reese, frequently express their dissatisfaction with the nobility. However, there is no indication that they are planning to take any action.”

“I see. While we haven’t gathered much information, it’s better than nothing. Continue to monitor them.”

“Understood.”

With that, Liberis disappeared, and I let out a small sigh as I was left alone in the room.

“I thought they might be useful…”

Rein is a male student in the same commoner class as Lilia and Lulua. He is undoubtedly a reincarnated person.

The first time I learned about Rein was on the day I participated in the competency test. 

Leviana, who was accompanying Lilia, reported an issue, explaining that she had identified a person with the power to surpass even Leviana, a demon of sin who held immense power. 

This person was none other than Rein.

Normally, someone with such power would be considered a threat and either eliminated or closely monitored. However, I chose not to approach Rein. 

This was because I judged that he could be a significant influence in disrupting the original fate scenario.

But now, I was starting to question whether that decision was a mistake.

A powerful anomaly not featured in the original story. I thought that such a presence would greatly disrupt the fate scenario if it took action. However, Rein has shown almost no inclination to use his power, perhaps due to his personality. 

In fact, according to Lilia and Lulua, he ranks among the lower students in the class.

Frankly, I felt nothing but disappointment.

Nevertheless, a glimmer of hope returned when I saw Rein in person the other day while he was trying to approach Lilia and Lulua in the classroom. Although I only saw him from a distance, I could tell from his demeanor and aura that Rein was a reincarnated individual.

The fact that he has adapted seamlessly to this world, where basic conversations are in Japanese, suggests that Rein has values from a peaceful Japan. 

This could mean he harbors dissatisfaction with this world’s feudal system and nobility, making him a potential tool for luring out the “Gathering of the Broken Empire.”

However, the last of hope was gone after what Liberis had just reported.

Rein only expresses dissatisfaction without taking any action. 

This reflects the complacent mindset of a Japanese person, believing that if they wait, someone else will handle it.

At this rate, Rein won’t serve as effective bait to lure out and destroy the “Gathering of the Broken Empire” in the Imperial Capital. 

However, there are many commoner students within the academy who are dissatisfied with the nobility, and it’s known that this group has their eyes on them.

“Just one more thing. If only there was one more thing…”

☆☆☆☆☆☆

The next day, I couldn’t bring myself to attend class and wandered around the academy aimlessly. 

Meanwhile, Lilia and Lulua went to class diligently. 

Apparently, today is their first physical education class since enrollment. They must be eager, despite the fact that everyone around them is at a lower level than themselves.

With these thoughts, I walked through the academy’s garden with Serena. 

This garden was mainly used for herbalism classes and is filled with medicinal herbs and ornamental flowers, creating a sense of nature that contrasts sharply with the brick and wooden buildings of the Imperial Capital.

After a few weeks of dealing with the protagonist, heroines, reincarnated individuals, and underground organizations, it was a perfect place to alleviate the fatigue that had built up unconsciously.

However, after just a few weeks since the story began, I realize that while my body has become stronger, my mind is still immature. I need to strengthen my mental resilience as well.

“It’s beautiful. I wonder if this kind of place is frequently visited by aristocrats.”

“I don’t know. Find out for yourself.”

“You’re so cold. Can’t you be a bit nicer, especially when it’s just the two of us after so long?”

“I’m busy recovering. Don’t bother me.”

Serena sighed and returned her gaze forward, giving up on trying to engage me further.

We continued walking in silence until a Western-style shed came into view. Serena nudged my shoulder.

“What is it?”

“Would you like a lap pillow? You seem tired.”

“…Yes, please.”

I quickened my pace slightly. Under the shed’s roof, Serena sat on a bench and gently patted her thighs, which were wrapped in her maid uniform.

“Here you go, Master.”

“…..”

Without a word, I sat beside Serena and laid my head on her thighs. 

The soft warmth I felt was different from Lilia’s or Lulua’s but just as comforting.

Sleepiness naturally overcame me as my mind was tired thinking about the various possibilities on how to deal with the things coming ahead of me.

“It’s okay to sleep. I’ll protect you while you rest, Master.”

“…I see.”

“Yes. Although, I must admit I also want to enjoy the situation being reversed.”

“……”

Without replying, I let my consciousness drift into darkness.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

I was jolted awake by a sound that echoed throughout the academy, accompanied by a faint vibration. I lifted my head from Serena’s lap and stood up.

“What was that?”

“I don’t know. It just happened out of nowhere.”

“I see…”

I began processing the information quickly.

In the original story, there shouldn’t have been any events that would cause such a noise throughout the academy. Moreover, there shouldn’t be anyone capable of such an act at this point. 

The only potential suspects would be Lilia and Lulua, but they understand the consequences too well to do something like this.

“It’s better to check with my own eyes than to speculate. Serena, let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Enhancing my body with magic, I kicked off the ground.

From the sound, the source seemed to be outside. To get a clearer view, I leaped onto a roof and dashed toward the origin of the noise.

Reaching the edge of the roof, I looked out and saw the training grounds. There, dozens of students stood still, their gazes fixed on a single point.

At the center of their attention was a large crater.

Standing about ten meters from the crater was a male student, arms outstretched toward it, with faint traces of magic lingering around his hands. To anyone observing, it was clear that this student had created the crater.

And I clearly recognized his face.

A grin spread across my face and I called out to Serena behind me.

“Serena.”

“Yes?”

“Tell Liberis to summon Marilis back.”

“Understood.”

With a knowing, sharp smile, Serena left the scene. 

The training grounds, which had seemed frozen in time, began to stir. 

Teachers approached the male student, trying to speak with him, while the students murmured among themselves, all focused on the crater and the boy.

A chuckle escaped my lips.

A commoner student with immense power and a grudge against the nobility. 

In their sensitive teenage years, it would be easy to instill new ideas and sway them to one’s side. Such a pawn is invaluable in our goal of destroying the kingdom.

And simultaneously, he makes the perfect bait.

“I can’t believe something this convenient exists in reality.”

At the most opportune moment, the most convenient piece had appeared before me.

I couldn’t stop grinning.

“Now, all the necessary pieces are in place. All that’s left is to…”

“—devastate everything.”
