When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts! - Chapter 83 : Contact
Chapter 83 : Contact
Recently, the number of stares I received from commoners while walking through town had increased.
These looks were by no means friendly, but negative gazes filled with suspicion, anger, and disgust.
“The strange stares have increased lately. Their feelings toward us are leaking out so much, it’s a little bothersome.”
Serena spoke those words while we were riding the carriage on our way to the academy.
Both Lilia and Lulua nodded in agreement, adding their own thoughts.
“That’s true. It seems to happen mostly when we’re in town.”
“We’ve always attracted attention, but this time feels a little different.”
As expected, it seemed I wasn’t the only one receiving these stares.
Lulua had even noticed that the stares were somehow different than usual.
I turned my gaze to Leviana, who was sitting opposite to me.
“Leviana, have Liberis investigate the reason for these stares. Immediately,” I ordered.
“Understood,” she replied, her form melting into the shadows as she disappeared.
She would likely return after completing the task as always.
I closed my eyes, letting Lilia and Lulua’s voices fade into the background as I waited for the carriage to arrive at the academy.
◇◇◇◇◇◇
Upon arriving at the academy, an unfamiliar carriage parked near the gate caught my eye.
It was less ornate than the carriages used by nobles, but the basic construction was meticulous, exuding a subtle air of luxury.
Curtains were drawn inside the carriage windows, preventing me from seeing inside.
“Leviana, be on alert. Report to me immediately if anything happens.”
“Understood, master.”
With the church currently hostile towards us, the arrival of an unidentified carriage was suspicious.
It was better to be cautious than regret later.

“Master… please… touch me.”
Not long after parting ways with Lilia and Lulua, a noise-filled thought from Leviana reached me.
Never before had I received a thought from Leviana with such interference.
Her fragmented voice also carried a hint of panic.
This meant something was happening with Lilia and Lulua.
“Prioritize Lilia and Lulua’s safety. I’m coming right away.”
I was not sure if my message was transmitted accurately to her due to the noise that had been present there, but I sent a telepathic message to let her know that I heard her
Then, I left the classroom with Serena.
There was some distance between the classrooms for the noble and the commoners.
We ran through the hallways towards the commoner area.
As we ran through the unnecessarily long and wide corridor, about halfway to Lilia and Lulua’s class…
A girl stood there dressed in the academy’s female student uniform. Her slightly bluish-white hair flowed down past her waist, her eyelids lowered as she stood quietly.
What drew my attention most intensely was the aura she exuded – an overwhelmingly pure yet arrogantly divine presence.
There was no mistaking it.
“Are you the Saint?”
“Yes, that is correct, Wraith Heaville. I am called the Saintess of Purification. It is a pleasure to meet you.”
“What business does the Saintess have with me?”
“You know, don’t you?”
The girl before me, the Saint of Purification, raised her eyelids and looked directly at me.
In that instant, the divine aura emanating from her intensified.
“I cannot allow you to pass any further.”
“Tsk, how unpleasant.”
◇◇◇◇◇◇
“Good morning, everyone.”
After parting with my husband, I entered the classroom while giving my customary greeting to the entire class.
Lulua followed behind me and also offered a greeting, which was met with a chorus of replies from the classmates.
While responding to them, we made our way to our seats, placed our bags on the side, and sat down. Because there wasn’t a designated space for servants in the commoner class, Leviana stood quietly behind us.
Although our classmates had initially been curious about us, commoners, bringing a maid, they now seemed completely accustomed to it and even greeted Leviana.
While chatting with our classmates, the bell rang, and the teacher in charge of this class entered the room.
“Now everyone, please quiet down. Before we begin class today, there’s someone I’d like to introduce.”
At the teacher’s words, a slight murmur rippled through the classroom. They likely guessed from the teacher’s phrasing that a transfer student had arrived and were speculating about what kind of person they might be.
While Lulua and I weren’t entirely unconcerned, we weren’t particularly interested either. For us, our husband was the most important.
“Alright then, please come in.”
“Yes. Excuse me.”
In response to the teacher’s call, a single girl entered the classroom.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room shifted.
The somewhat relaxed air from just moments before vanished, replaced by a tautness that made one straighten their back involuntarily.
Or rather, to be more precise, it was an atmosphere that made one want to lower their head.
In fact, several students did lower their heads slightly.
It was easy to guess that this change was caused by the girl who had just entered.
“Greetings, everyone. I am Raphilia, bestowed with the title of the Saintess of Light by the Church. I will be enrolled at the Magic Academy for a while, starting today, and I would be happy if we could all get along. Please take care of me.”
Saying so, Raphilia, the Saintess of Light, the same being as myself, bowed.
While keeping her figure in my peripheral vision, I called out to Leviana, who was standing behind me. Since Leviana had a special means of communicating with my husband, I intended to have her inform him that someone from the Church, essentially our enemy, had been sent here.
“Leviana, to my husband…”
I whispered, glancing back slightly.
Usually, a calm, detached response would come. I expected the same this time.
However, the answer that came back was completely unexpected.
“…I apologize. A special barrier has been cast over this entire classroom. Any attempts to communicate with Master results in intense noise interference.”
“That’s…”
“Is there any way to break it?”
“It’s a barrier created with a power diametrically opposed to my own. While my power is greater, the incompatibility prevents me from destroying it.”
Leviana was a demon.
And this barrier was erected with a power opposite to hers.
There was only one person present who could have cast it.
“[Sleep]”
At the same moment we turned our gazes toward her, the Saintess of Light, Raphilia, cast a spell. Everyone except me, Lulu, and Leviana fell asleep under the spell’s effect. The Saint’s gaze fixed directly on us.
“Now, there’s no need to hold back. Lilia, the Saintess of Healing, just like us is blessed by God. We’ve come to take you with us.”
She slowly started advancing towards us.
I stood up from my seat, ready to move at any moment, and positioned myself in the aisle between the desks.
The Saintess of Light stopped in front of me and extended her hand.
“Now, come with us.”
