I Became the Son of a Corrupt Lord, so I’ll Enjoy an Easy Life in Another World ~but Please Stop Revering Me as a “Saint”!~

Stage 1-18. Mission Complete

“Aniki! Please, let me work under you!”

“””…”””

I exchange glances with the others.

When we returned to the tavern, Aliban had already regained consciousness.

And those were his first words.

“What’s your angle?”

“N-No, it’s not like that! I’m just in awe of your power, big bro!”

“…Oh?”

“Fighting you made me realize… you’re the one who deserves to lead people!”

“I see, I see.”

Seems like he gets it.

Exactly—I’m the perfect candidate to live an easy life, ruling over the common folk as a corrupt lord.

“So, you’ll follow my orders without question, right?”

“Of course! My life is yours, big bro! You can even make me your slave!”

Judging by his attitude, he seems genuinely devoted to me.

Looks like there’s no need to train him.

I glance at Alice to make sure he’s not lying, and she agrees with my assessment.

“Alright, alright. Aliban, I’ve got a job for you right away.”

“Yes! Thank you so much!”

“Aliban, I want you to… go and discipline the punks in every area.”

“…Huh?”

I then explained the job I had in mind for Aliban.

In short, he’ll be going around rough neighborhoods, taking down troublemakers and bringing them to me.

No one will even care if those thugs suddenly disappear—how sad.

Then, I’ll reopen the underground arena using those collected misfits.

With me as the ringleader, it’ll be a huge moneymaker.

If the fighters are under my control, I can rig the matches however I want!

Since the arena isn’t destroyed, there’s almost no need for further investment.

Of course, Alice knows nothing about this, so I’ll keep the underground arena vague.

I’ll have to arrange a private moment with her to talk things through.

Maybe then I’ll ask her about the origin of that Doping Elixir.

“I see. So basically, I should deal with the bad guys just like you did, right, big bro?”

“Exactly. Just imitate me.”

“A task entrusted to me by big bro… I’ll carry it out for sure!”

Good, good. It’s great to see him so motivated.

With that, everything that needed to be done was complete.

“Oh, and you’re staying put for the next week.”

“…What?”

This is a natural precaution until Mio and the others finish moving.

So stop looking so disappointed.

And with that, I left Inivent, having completed all my missions.

Ouga doesn’t know.

“My name is Aliban! By the command of Ouga Vellet-sama, I’ve come to this town. Now, tell me where the ones causing you trouble are. I’ll take care of them.”

As Aliban rounds up the thugs, the town’s peace will improve, and his boasting about being Ouga-sama Vellet’s subordinate will raise Ouga’s reputation sky-high among the common folk.

Ouga doesn’t know.

“Now, everyone, let us offer our prayers. To our ‘Savior’—Ouga Vellet-sama—who brings us righteous salvation.”

“””Yes, Sister Mio.”””

After pondering what she should do, Mio, who became devoted to Ouga, will form the Ouga Church with the children, preaching his virtues. The name symbolizes that Ouga is fit to be king.

This will eventually spread throughout the Vellet territory… and even among the common folk.

“Hahaha! It feels great to finish a job, Alice! Mashiro!”

“An excellent performance, Ouga-sama.”

“Really! Ouga-kun, you’re amazing. I’ll try even harder to be like you!”

Laughing in the carriage, Ouga still doesn’t know.
