I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

93 – What’s up?

After Elaine went back to the girls’ dorm because of Reina’s tough attitude, I went back to my room with Reina.

“Clean up and buy. No matter how noble you are, isn’t it basic that you know how to clean your own room?”

“I clean every day, but unfortunately someone visits and I can’t do it.”

“Huh. Now you are blaming me.”

“It’s not my fault, it’s the truth.”

As soon as I entered the room, I ignored Reina’s grumbling and headed straight for the bed.

As soon as I took off my jacket and threw myself on the bed, the scent of Elaine that still lingered subtly wafted in.

I slept here and touched the soles of her feet….

‘Thinking back, I must have acted crazy.’

“So what are you going to say― what are you doing?”

The moment she raised her head to listen to Reina, the words came out of her mind at the scene unfolding in front of her eyes.

“Don’t you know when you see it? I am cleaning for you.”

“Then why are you….”

Ice Princess.

A proud and noble aura, but an existence like a flower on a cliff that no one can touch. And my ex-fiance.

That Raina was sitting in the corner of her room, organizing my clothes.

“Didn’t you come here because you had something to say?”

“With the room looking like this, do you think I would be in the mood to talk?”

‘No, just say it at the door and leave.’

Since Reina, who was engaged to no one else, was doing this, she couldn’t understand what was inside.

He still spews vicious words as usual, but his actions are different from usual.

It wasn’t enough to fold my clothes, so I even looked around the bed to pick out dust.

It was hard to see her as the daughter of a duchy.

“….”

Meanwhile, Raina held something of hers in her hand and looked closely.

“… Hair?”

What she picked up was her hair.

That’s long white hair too.

‘What is it?’

I didn’t do anything wrong, but I suddenly felt anxious.

I didn’t like Reina’s expression as she looked at her hair strangely.

Simple Is it because my room is really dirty, or is it because I feel bad because Elaine’s hair was found….

Of course, Reina couldn’t be because of the latter.

“Looks like Miss Elaine has been around for quite some time.”

“It doesn’t take long for her hair to fall out.”

“Oh, is that so? Even the smell of the bed seems to have changed.”

“I just sat there for a while. And how do you know my bed smells in the first place?”

“I just compared it to the last time I came here for a short time. Make no mistake.”

“I never entered the room—”

“Rather than that, I’ll give you an announcement, so listen carefully.”

Reina, who threw away her hair, strode over and sat on her bed. It seems more accurate to say that she climbed onto the bed rather than perched on it.

Reina didn’t care and opened her mouth.

“First of all, the other groups who went to Empsted also encountered monsters.”

“There too?”

“Unlike us, they say that from the beginning, there were troubles because of the monsters. Most of the tasks were about subjugating monsters.”

Empstead.

Befitting its name, Mining City, the entire city is immersed in the mining industry. It is also a place where the lights are not turned off every day.

The air is not good and the surrounding geography is rough, so you can’t even expect to go sightseeing.

Also, the surrounding area is full of demonic spirits, so demonic spirits often appear and come down to the city.

The main character’s party, who went to practice, encounters monsters for the first time there, but since it’s the beginning, the monsters themselves are weak, so they don’t experience much difficulty.

‘The fact that the monster appeared means that the story is going well.’

Although it was slightly twisted, I was relieved that Siegfried, like the main story, seemed to be the same.

But even that had to disappear quickly at Reina’s words.

“And they say that the devil also appeared.”

“What?”

“A demon named Mephisto who appeared here the other day. They say she appeared there too.”

I couldn’t believe it, but the devil actually appeared.

In the original work, it’s normal to just watch the main characters, but as expected, something keeps getting twisted.

“Wait, what about the other guys? He’s not the kind of guy who would back down easily like Goetia.”

He has a smirk personality, but his nature is different.

I know this because I personally bumped into it at the gym last time. That he is a man who hides his vicious personality through a mask.

Moreover, there’s no way a guy who failed to raid the gymnasium and almost ran away after taking a blow could not stand still.

Goetia backed off easily, but Mephisto certainly wouldn’t.

“We were bumped into a few times, but no one was seriously injured. I saw you walking around just fine, so it should be fine.”

“You mean Mephisto didn’t really fight?”

“Yes. It is said that Goetia, like Mine, had more priorities.”

“It must be brainwashing the monsters.”

What they are doing is a kind of experiment.

In order to use blood fossils to brainwash monsters and control them freely, they are continuously conducting experiments on monsters all over the continent.

The fact that the demons started the experiment until they showed up meant that the experiment was now nearing its end.

The monsters started rampaging in earnest from the second practice, so the timing must be right.

“Bella will be busy.”

“I went to report to the principal. He told me to keep going to class until he said anything else.”

How will the Knights move this time?

Adelie, one of the few competent knights in the empire, would be well aware of the seriousness of the situation.

That’s probably why he heard Bella’s report and immediately went to the imperial palace.

However, it is questionable whether the superiors who have been in peace for tens or hundreds of years will listen to Adélie.

In addition, Adelie is not currently a member of the Imperial Knights. It is because of his position as a full-time knight leader that he can enter the imperial palace.

‘It would be better to think that everything goes as it should.’

Unless demons fall from the sky, it will be difficult to change the thoughts of the nobles who are full.

It might be faster to raise Elaine.

“This is the end.”

“Yes. Certainly not something to say in public.”

“… Sure.”

It was clear that if ordinary students heard these words, there would be a big impact.

Clearly, Reina has a good head around her.

“Then, is this the end?”

“I have another one.”

It became a strange posture facing each other on the bed, but the atmosphere was not.

Reina’s expression, as if she had made up her mind, made me nervous without realizing it.

What are you talking about? Mine… She said earlier

“What is your relationship with Miss Elaine?”

“Hmm?”

I made a dumbfounded noise at the completely unexpected words.

“Hasn’t you been carrying me around since the entrance ceremony?”

“… It is, though.”

“She didn’t have many close friends even in F class. They are especially close friends to the point of stopping by each other’s rooms.”

“That must be because he is such a passive kid.”

“Are you saying that such a passive kid follows someone like you?”

I was speechless for a while at Reina’s words that stabbed her in the middle.

Well, if you think about it, there must be no one who hasn’t heard the rumors of Altane before she entered school.

If you are a child living in an aristocratic society, you must have heard at least one rumor about the tyrant Altane.

That’s why I got into a fight with Hans on the day of the entrance ceremony.

“Elaine doesn’t know the rumors about me. That’s why she was able to approach without hesitation. No, even if I knew it, I would have done it.”

“… She seems to know what rumors she has.”

“I don’t know the details. Still, you can make some predictions. How bad is that?”

Having bad rumors spread in aristocratic society is like ending one’s life as an aristocrat.

Because socialites don’t miss even the smallest things in order to find fault with their opponents.

The only thing he knows how to do is get together, drink tea, chat, and see the faults of other nobles.

That doesn’t mean there are only bad points.

Because it’s a place where you can learn about rumors and general trends in society that you didn’t know about.

It wasn’t for nothing that many aristocrats made their children’s debut in aristocratic society a social gathering.

Because if you don’t survive there, you’ll be weeded out.

‘Compared to Altein, who has already been culled, Reina is like the queen of the cult.’

“You seem to care about Elaine a lot, you.”

“… Me?”

“Aren’t you constantly worried about being with me, just like during the entrance ceremony?”

“That….”

“I know very well why you are worried. Because I’ve always been that kind of person.”

Above all, since she was Raina who had been watching Altane for a long time, it was understandable that she cared for Elaine so much.

No matter how much she says she hasn’t had any accidents since she entered the academy, to her I’m just Altane.

So even now you might think it was just a simple whim of a tyrant.

‘Still, it seems to be better than the first time.’

If they came to the room like this, wouldn’t it be that the image renewal is working? Even the first time, I hated mixing words.

“Anyway, don’t worry, I’m not approaching you with a strange idea. I don’t know if I’ll believe it even if I say this.”

“You know that.”

“Still, if you keep watching from the sidelines, you will understand.”

“… From the side.”

“Why don’t you watch until your castle is full, whether it’s from the front or the back?”

Wouldn’t it be acceptable if we just leave it as it is until the misunderstanding subsides?

Anyway, Elaine is still only 17, so it’s good that she has a guardian named Reina.

She’ll be a big help to Reina after she gets to act separately from me.

‘As for Siegfried… Shall I ask Jed later?’
