I Reincarnated as a Villain of an RPG, But I Want to Survive - CH 68

Game start

Two years have passed

During this period, Behemoth empire was devoted to an all-out war against its neighbor country Bresden

With the successive of victory after many hardships, Bresden kingdom’s capital was captured and they surrendered. It’s decided that they will be merged with the empire

The details of the start of the war was made known by people of both nations, and the said country will earn its name in the history as 『The country destroyed by Lolicon and Siscon』

……

Oi hold up, who did the “siscon” refer to?

Well, anyway, Bresden kingdom was the last major power in the continent besides the empire, it being swallowed up means the empire will become the supreme ruler of the continent

The remaining are worthless small countries or large countries in other continents across the sea

It doesn’t matter whether those countries decided to obey the empire or declare nonaggression and oppose

The empire has completed its domination

The basis of the original start of 『Beast Fantasy 4』 has been completed

This world where I reincarnated into was the same as the game I played in my first life

I’m fated to reincarnate as a villain and will eventually be defeated by the game’s protagonist

To avoid such bad end, I have taken various measures, but it still feels like I’m enjoying my new life

Because every day is fulfilling

Almost two years have passed since I became 『The Imperial Guardian’s Twelve Apostles』

Including the life in the training camp before that, it’s about three years since I returned to the empire

This year is finally year 100 of the empire

It’s the calendar used at the time the Behemoth empire was still a small kingdom, even after King Harod became the emperor and the country changed to be an empire, it was still being used

This year is the 100th anniversary of the founding of Behemoth kingdom, the predecessor of Behemoth empire

Combined with the accomplishment of uniting the continent, a bigger than usual festival is being planned

However, for me who was reincarnated, this is also the year with another important event

Year 100 of the empire

It’s the real start of the game 『Beast Fantasy 4』

Sero, the protagonist of 『Beast Fantasy 4』, should take his first step as planned

I and Sero already met each other, under the training of the sage who taught the power of Holy Wisdom

We trained and studied Holy Wisdom art together, and the senior apprentice me left the nest first

Sero, the junior, would depart three years after me

This year is that “three year after”

Same as in the game, the curtain of his adventure will open this year

From now on, what route should I take?

If I follow the game, I will be killed by him

That is not good……。

Thus, I felt like some actions are needed to avoid that ruined future

◆

But before that, let’s explain my situation after two years

「Here, dear (anata), your mantle」

「U, umu……!?」

I put on the mantle Forte handled over

「Ah, it indeed suit you, husband (danna-sama), worthy of the evilest figure of the empire!」

「No no……!」

As vowed, I got married

My first wife is Forte

Even after being married, she is still one of the Twelve Apostles, the fourth rank Ulforte whom both friends and foes are afraid of

Even during the Bresden war, she took the initiative and played an active role at the frontline

She got a nickname 『The greedy wolf of carnage (修羅場の貪狼) 』, but not many people know the reason she fought that hard was because she wanted to end the war quickly to try making children with me……

I don’t want it to be known

With her effort, the war ended, and at the moment there is no country that would oppose the empire

She was happy that she can finally have children with me

…………。

Even last night, I worked hard until near the morning……

「Haaaaa, ood orning……」

「Saraka! What’s with that “good morning”!? There isn’t much time until the attendance time!?」

Another wife is Saraka, who just woke up from the bedroom

Like Forte, she worked hard in Bresden war and was called 『human-eating demonic monkey』 or something

But recently, she often feels exhausted and can’t wake up early

「I have told you guys that I will be late before. Having both the husband and concubine as colleagues sure is handy」

「Your slovenly will affect the fame of Jira, your husband! Also who is “concubine”!?」

It was the same, even after marriage

After we return to the empire when the Bresden war ended, I received a big mansion in the capital

It was one of the reward for the work during the war, but since it was too big, not just my two wives but also my whole family moved there

「Good morning everyone, let’s have breakfast」

「I’m sorry, mother-in-law! I will help you!」

My parents also live in this mansion

Since not just me but my sister also became a Twelve Apostles, my mother was called 『The genius of childcare』 or something like that

After receiving 『Reward for raising the most useful human resource of the empire』, they received a large amount of money and my father was exempted from his personal duties and can live without working

But he said something like 『I must contribute to the empire while my body still can move freely!』, he often goes out

Recently, it seems like he is teaching the children in the orphanage ran by Gashi

It’s already a leisure old man life

「Onii-chan, good morning!」

「Morn-……guhoo!?」

And my sister Selen

Since we are a family, she lives here too

And as usual, she greets while charging toward me

I took a step back after receiving a blow to my stomach

「Selen! Please stop charging inside the house! What if the furniture broke!?」

「I’m sorry」

Mom, you didn’t ban the charge itself……。

In fact, after many years have passed, Selen is still a relentless child

She is sixteen this year. Although it’s considered the age of adult in the empire, her height doesn’t change much and she is the same as before

However, as expected of a member of Twelve Apostles, she continuously received application for marriage. I was troubled

I will legally mow down whoever man trying to marry Selen

「Mama, you still made breakfast? Our retainers would do it even if you didnt」

「That’s right, your beloved daughter is the third rank of the empire’s strongest Twelve Apostles, moreover your son is the hidden first rank, you don’t need to bother yourself with housework」

Don’t say something like hidden first rank

「It’s fine. We are commoners from the beginning, this social status is the result of our children’s work, not us. If we were full of ourselves, what goes around would come around and it might trouble our children too」

「Such wonderful teaching! As expected of mother-in-law-sama!」

Forte doesn’t hesitate in this daughter-in-law game

Six members of our family

Father, mother, sister, my two wives and me are living a lively life

It will increase soon

「However, it’s unusual that one third of the Twelve Apostles are living together in one family, huh……」

It’s truly a happy family

In order not to lose this everyday, this world can’t move forward just like in the game

Right now, the Behemoth empire is extremely stable

As the continent was united, there was no enemy so all of the national power was directed to domestic affairs

By controlling the crime and improving the facilities, we are heading toward a society where every citizen can get along peacefully

Because Emperor Harod shows his ability as a wise ruler

If this was in the game, at this time the emperor would already be dominated by the beast aura, lost his mind and completely became an atrocious tyrant

However, because I treated him with Holy Wisdom art, the erosion of beast aura was delayed

With this pace, he will remain wise for five or ten years later

As the problem on the empire’s side is eliminated, there is another concern

What kind of action will the game’s protagonist Sero take?

I’m also worried about the person himself, should I take the initiative to check the situation?
