Otome Game Mob Villain - Chapter 55

“Phew. …….”

Reiner sighed as he sat down on the couch and was shown into the largest room on the second floor of the guest house.

Tomorrow, he will have an audience with the king.

And now his head is aching as he thinks about the movements of the Renalute royal family, who will probably try to pull some kind of trick on him.

Reiner had originally not intended to come to Renalute because of Rid’s marriage.

However, as long as Rid told him that it was a matter related to Nanalee’s illness, he had no choice but to go.

His head still aches when he recalls the difficulties he had to go through after that.

When he wrote to Irwin in the imperial capital to inform him that he was going to Renalute before the marriage, he gave a plausible reason that it was to strengthen the relationship between the Bardia territory and Renalute after the marriage.

Permission was granted immediately, but of course he had to report the results.

The Renalute side was contacted by Emperor Irwin.

But of course, anyone would think that if such a contact was made in advance.

The Bardia family was the most likely marriage partner for the princess.

Naturally, Rainer predicted this reaction and contacted his allies in Renalute at the same time.

As a result, he was able to get a rough idea of the movements in Renalute.

Then, he decided to carry out a certain plan based on the suggestions of the cooperators and Rainer’s opinion.

The reason why they did not have an audience with the king today was to have a final meeting with him.

It was about time for him to come.

Just as he was thinking that, there was a knock at his door.

When he answered, it was Zack who came in.

He entered the room and bowed to Rainer.

Reiner stood up on the spot and invited him to sit on the sofa in front of him.

They then took their seats facing each other across the table.

Zack smiled and spoke slowly.

“Well, I’m looking forward to seeing the future of your son, Master Rainer, and I’m sure it will be terrifying.”

“Hah …… did Rid do something to you again?”

Reiner wrinkled his brow, wondering if he had done something substandard again at Zack’s words.

Zack continues to talk happily while looking at him.

“I told him about a picture of Lady Eltia hanging in roo, and when I saw him admiring it, I told him that it was Lady Farah’s mother. I ha. At first he seemed embarrassed, but then he began to look very thoughtful. ……”

“Oh, ……, so?”

Zack’s taciturn tone made Rainer realize that his son had done something “out of the ordinary” again.

‘Yes, he said ‘ ‘If I am the fell in love with the picture, I might fall in love at first sight with Princess Fara., ‘I hope you will support me then. The meaning of the paintings . The political situation in Renalute. He understood quickly I his position .”

.”….. Rid’s, don’t you know what it means to hide your fingernails?”

Zack was talking about Rid with a big smile on his face.

“Don’t say that. Master Rid doesn’t know about my relationship with . you . Besides, I am looking forward to seeing his bright future. I personally intend to fully support your son “.

Rainer looked a little surprised.

“Considering your position, I am extremely grateful that Rid charmed you. But why did you fall found of him so hard?　Given your character, that doesn’t seem like much, does it?”

Hearing Reiner’s words, Zack does not crack a smile.

However,his eyes became sharper.

“I am looking forward to the future. Besides, a princess related to our own Riverton family will be able to marry a Master Rid. Considering the future, this would be a far better reward than marrying a member of the royal family.”

“…… you say that much? My son is nothing short of extraordinary .”

Zack watched him with a smile.

Zack Riverton is a friend of Rainer’s.

But he is related by blood to Eltia Riverton, the king’s servant.

He is also the current head of the Riverton family, and the organization he secretly runs is the Renalute Intelligence Agency.

Naturally, he is a direct recipient of royal commands and has close ties to King Elias.

He is willing to fully support Rid .

Just by getting this assurance alone, it was meaningful for him to come to Renalute this time.

Rid seduced such a person without Reiner’s knowledge.

Zack is right that he is a terrifying man.

Reiner’s brow was wrinkled and his expression was thoughtful.

Zack said to Rainer in a lighthearted manner.

“I hope that in the future, Rid and Fara will be blessed with children, and if possible, I would like to ask their child to be the heir of the Riverton family as well.”

“⁉”

Reiner gushed.

“For dark elves, childhood is a short time in life. I hope that when the marriage is successfully arranged, you will give your relationship the support it deserves.”

“That is a matter for them to decide …… and not for me to get involved.”

The dark elves, perhaps due to their long life , sometimes say things that are difficult for human to understand.

Reiner just shakes his head at Zack’s words.

Zack, who had been happily watching the situation, suddenly lost his smile.

Rainer notices this and returns to a stern look .

“Then, it’s time to get down to business.”

“Mm.”

The two then have an audience with King Elias tomorrow.

They then confirmed the audience with King Elias tomorrow and the movements of the opposing nobles.

The discussion continued for a while

‘That’s pretty much it.”

“All right. I will take a close look at what is going to happen tomorrow.”

“Thank you. I’ll leave you to it.”

Zack got up and left the room after the meeting with Rainer was over.

Reiner, who was left in the room, was thinking back on the meeting.

And when he thought about tomorrow, a nasty smile naturally broke out on his face.

When I returned to my room from the Hot Springs, I told my escort, Deanna, that I needed to be alone for a while to think about something.

She was hesitant at first, but agreed to wait outside the room, in front of the door.

I mean, what is she going to do when I go to bed?

When she left the room, I lay on my back on the bed and called out, “Memory.”

‘Hello, Rid. You’ve been enjoying this prank a lot, haven’t you?”

“I was just trying to get back at Deanna in a light-hearted way. I didn’t think it would turn out that way.”

For Rid, “a woman in a yukata after taking a bath” is a familiar sight from his previous life memories.

It is not a shock,

But Rubens seems to be different.

To begin with, the bath itself is expensive, so that was probably the first time Rubens had seen Deanna in a bathrobe after taking a bath.

In addition, it was the first time he saw Deanna in a yukata.

Now I think that was too much.

Probably, considering the culture of Magnolia, a yukata is a very light clothing item for a woman to wear.

Moreover, he must have been quite shocked to see her in a yukata, a thin garment, for the first time.

As a result, Rubens’ reason would have flown away and they would have been in the world of their own .

Deanna was also happy that she could make Rubens’ reason fly away with her charm, and she may have been intoxicated by the atmosphere of the moment and let herself be carried away.

I would like to believe that otherwise the two knights would not have gone so wild.

I decided to think that the charm of the yukata was too great.

I think Memory must have gotten understanding of what I was thinking, because Memory called out to me in a mischievous manner,

“Incidentally, in addition to what you did then, you were very conscious of Diana in the bath. I can always take a picture of it behind your eyelids if you need it, okay?　What was it, a playback recording?　Something like that?”

“I don’t need that.”

It was indeed very shocking.

But, can Memory even see such memories as it like?

I felt like my manhood was tickled a little when I thought so.

Then, as if seeing right through me, I heard a voice of the memory.

“Oh, you’re having evil thoughts right now, aren’t you?　No, you can’t.　I’m going to refuse such a request, okay?”

“I mean, you’re the one who started it.”

I can be sure that Memory is absolutely giggling.

But I have more importants thing to ask .

I let out a sigh and then asked Memory a question.

” ……. I’m not interested in that.”

Hmmm.

I guess I didn’t make it after all.

More importantly, let’s ask for a second one, since it’ s a good time to ask for one.

“well, I was wondering if you could check if I remember how to make soap, or if

I remember any substitutes.

“Soap making or substitutes. Okay, I’ll look into that too.”o.

“Thank you. That’s about it for today.”

“Okay. , Rid, good luck tomorrow.”

“. Thank you.”

I thanked Memory and said goodbye .

After the exchange was over, I called Deanna, who was waiting outside the room, and asked her to come in.

Deanna is now dressed as a maid.

The yukata was attractive, but it was not something you would wear while being on duty .

When I thought of that, a thought came to mind.

“Deanna, ”

“Yes. What is it?”

“Would you like to get a couple of yukatas to bring go home?”

“Don;t say anything about it ! I absolutely refuse ”

Now, you were definitely going to say, “Disgrace ,” weren’t you?

“But you don’t want Deanna?”

That’s too bad. She looked so good in it. ……

“……. Still, I respectfully decline the yukata.”

“Okay, if you ever want one, just let me know.”

“…… understand.”

Deanna is probably remembering what could be called blunder.

She was blushing the whole time as I was talking to her.

Incidentally, after this conversation, Diana did not say anything to me about the yukata.

However, I did ask Rubens about the yukata later in secret, just for fun.

His answer was, “By all means, please!”

I dared not ask him why he wanted it.

Later, I told Zack that I wanted a few yukatas and got his approval, but he looked at me suspiciously.

“One of the young knights seemed to like them . ……”

Zack rolled his eyes, as if he hadn’t expected to hear that.

I was also impressed by the way his shoulders were shaking with laughter, as if he had guessed something.

After that, I gave Rubens a yukata and he was very happy.

However, it was unexpected that all the other knights and men who heard Rubens’ story also asked for a yukata.

I had to ask Zack again.

When Zack heard what I had to say, he shook his shoulders and held his mouth with his hand, shaking really hard for a while.

Even so, Zack prepared yukata for all of them.

I was really grateful to him.

I had intended it to be just a repayment for all the help I had received from the Knights, but they were all very happy about it.

Seeing that, I thought this might lead to some business.　I told Chris about the situation and asked to import the yukata.

I was impressed by the unusual blank look on Chris’s face when she heard what had happened.

However, for some reason, this yukata became very popular in Bardia territory as a gift from men to their girlfriends or wives.

Then the story spread to the imperial capital, and the yukata became popular throughout the empire.

But that is another story.
