Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 336

I am now in the guest room of the Bardia family's mansion in the Imperial capital, meeting with Valerie, daughter of the Duchess of Elasenise, and her son, Latiga.

In the midst of all this, I take a deep breath, turn my head slowly and exhale, "Phew ......," and Farah calls out to me in concern.

'Master Rid, are you all right ......?"

Yes, thank you, Fara. Also, the "memory of a previous life" is very important, so it is not something I can talk about all here. I will explain it to you tonight, so please forgive me for now for this answer."

"Yes, I will."

Fara nodded happily as I answered her.

I was so happy to see her smile that my heart calmed down and I once again looked at Valerie and Latiga in front of me.

From the exchange just now, I was able to learn that "Valeri Elasenyse" has "memories of a previous life."

What I feared the most was the unpredictable movements of the unknown "memory holder" in the first place.

However, it would be easier for me to make a move if she, who was originally trying to monitor me in some way, was a "memory holder" from a previous life.

In any case, the thing I wanted to know the most was the "story" modeled after "Tokirella! was Valerie, the person who taught Ratiga the "story" based on the model of "Tokirella!

The problem would be the discussion we would have with them.

At that moment, Valerie, who had been watching the exchange between me and Fara, covered her mouth with her fan and muttered to me,

"You two get along so well. I envy you."

"Thank you very much. I am so glad to hear that, Now, Valeri and Latiga, what is the reason why you showed me this " note " in such a roundabout way?"

As I spoke, Latiga moved the note he had just put on the desk in front of her.

I meant exactly what I said. My position makes it impossible for me to pretend to be something I am not. ...... You understand that, don't you? I just needed a little cooperation."

A collaborator......?"

The way she speaks, I don't get the impression that she is lying.

And, although it's not hard to understand why she would be so carefree in her position as a villainess,......, the problem is that it's him who is cooperating with her.

With this in mind, I turned my attention to Latiga.

By the way, do you share the same opinion as Valerie?

"Oh, yeah. I don't mind if you think so. I was surprised that there is really someone other than my sister who claims to have 'memories of a previous life' as Valerie says."

"What do you mean by that?"

He starts to talk about it with a wry smile in response to my question.

He says that Valerie started claiming to have regained her "memories of her previous life" when she turned six years old.

Also, Latiga is the only one in the Duchess of Errachenise family who knows that she has regained her "memory of her previous life.

At first I was surprised, because Valerie was head-butting the wall while shouting, 'Remember! I was just trying to help my sister with her crazy behavior,"

"Oh, head-butting the wall, huh?'

I glanced at her, taken aback.

Then, Valerie seemed to frown at our conversation and turned her sharp gaze on Latiga.

'Brother ......, you didn't believe my story after all, did you?"

"I didn't believe in it at all. Well, I was skeptical. But I would have helped out. Besides, Valerie had suddenly matured since that day."

"I see. What do you think about your future?"

From the way they talked, there was no doubt that they were close siblings.

But I wonder how much he understands what Valerie is talking about.

"Yes,I am sure that Valerie's story is very realistic now that we know that Rid has "memories of his past life. So, I would like to do what I can for the future as well. ...... Is this okay with you?"

"Yes, I understand." Thank you for your answer, . Latiga."

I nodded my head and thanked him for his answer, and Valerie leaned forward quickly.

'So, am I correct in assuming that you are willing to cooperate with us ......?'

"Yes. ......."

I didn't immediately respond to her question, but instead put my hand over my mouth and let my thoughts wander.

First of all, I should think about what problems will arise by creating a cooperative relationship with them.

At this point, however, there seems to be no problem.

At first, I was surprised by their behavior, but no harm has come to me.

In fact, the benefits of cooperating with them may be even greater.

At present, I have limited ways to obtain information about the Imperial capital, but being able to explore the movements of the Imperial nobility from the perspective of the Dukes of Errachenise through Valeri and Latiga would be a considerable advantage and information.

Perhaps there is information that can only be obtained by Imperial nobles with a certain degree of power.

In addition, the Bardia and Erasenise families have a close friendship between parents, so it is basically safe to assume that they would not think it unnatural for me to be in contact with them.

However, one thing suddenly occurred to me, and I asked a question.

"By the way, how much does Valerie-sama remember about "Tokirella"

"You asked a sharp question, "Ummm ....... Actually, in my case, my memory isn't so clear. I have the sense that I spent time as an adult in a country called Japan, but I don't remember my name or anything. Also, I just have the feeling that I played a game called " Tokirera! long time ago. The rest is just knowledge and memories of everyday life."

I was a little surprised by what she said without seeming to be alarmed, but I just said, "I see. ......" and continued talking.

Did Valerie-sama do any development using her knowledge after she regained her memory?"

"No . Unfortunately, I don't think I had the knowledge to develop anything. Besides, there's so much to learn as a daughter of a duke, and so much monitoring, that what I can do is pretty limited, so it's difficult at the moment."

When she said this, she made a coy gesture.

In other words, from what she told me, she has memories of her previous life, but unlike me, they are vague.

Perhaps she cannot even use magic to recall memories like the "Memory" that I can handle.

Also, I'm a little concerned about the phrase, "I feel like I played Tokirella! seems to me to be a little bit like "a long time ago".

I don't think that game was so old.

Well, ...... whatever it is, she seems to have done nothing so far to interfere with my activities or plans.

But something is bugging me.

I felt there was something more, so I boldly asked her.

"Before I responded, "You have nothing more to hide, right?"

She looked a little disappointed and mumbled something to me.

''It's not ...... something I've been hiding, but my engagement to the First Prince has been 'tentatively confirmed.'

'That's ...... a first."

"I've got a bit of a problem with that. Actually,......."

She then began to explain the current circumstances surrounding her in an unaffected manner.

I was taken aback by her explanation.

It seems that "Valerie" before she ...... regained her memory, rather than her, had offended "Prince David Magnolia" before she became his fiancée.

The problem is still hanging over her, and the relationship between her and Crown Prince David is not a good one.

"Of course, you've done everything you can to make things right, you know? I've tried cooking, swimming in the lake with him, studying, and so on."

Ha, ha. ...... So, why couldn't you make things better?"

I think it's a natural question to ask, but she hides her face with her open fan and mumbles in a hushed whisper, "I ...... did.

But I couldn't catch what she was saying, so I tilted my head and asked, "Yes? Valerie's voice was half-quiet and almost despairing as she asked, "Oh, my God, I've done everything.

"Oh, my God, everything has failed and backfired!"

"What do you mean?"

She then began to shyly recount her tale of failure.

First of all, thinking that this was the best way to make up, she tried to make "sweets" for Prince David's visit.

But for some reason, no matter how many times she tried, it didn't work.

Her father, the Duke of Burns, would eat them, saying they were delicious, but her brother, Latiga, turned blue as soon as he tasted them.

He says, "That taste. I don't think I'll forget it for the rest of my life."

Valerie, as expected, thought that she could not serve such a thing to the Crown Prince, and gave up making sweets.......

On the same day, David, the Crown Prince, visited the Duke Burns' house as scheduled.

Valerie tried to make amends with David, who was being very brusque with her.

At that time, her father, the Duke of Barnes, came to her room and said, "Valerie, you forgot to give the Crown Prince the homemade sweets you made for him.

She hurriedly told him that she had made a mistake and did not need to eat them, but the Duke of Burns smiled and held them out to Crown Prince David.

The Prince of Wales," said the Duke of Burns, "you wouldn't say that he can't eat a home-cooked meal that his ...... daughter, or even his fiancée, has put her heart and soul into?"

The Duke of Burns put the pastry in front of him and said, "Yes, it's delicious. Valerie," and smiled.

In the midst of all this, Prince David sighed "huh ......" and looked at the cookie quizzically before throwing it into his mouth, and as expected, he fainted on the spot.

Not only that, if Valerie went to the lake with the Crown Prince, she would accidentally drown him in the shallow water.

Whenever they had a chance to study together, she would solve problems before the Crown Prince, and when she got carried away and made a smug face, he would tell her, "I hate you ......." For some reason, she and the Crown Prince didn't get along well.

For some reason, the more she tries to get along with the Crown Prince, the more it seems to have the opposite effect.

Just when she was thinking that she could not escape from the condemnation as it is now, things in her "memory of her previous life" such as "lotion" and "rinse" start appearing from the Bardia family.

The ultimate culmination was the existence of the 'charcoal wheel' that the Duke of Barnes had told Valerie about.

She is convinced that there is someone else who has "memories of a previous life" besides herself.

However, due to her status as a villainess, "Tokirella! would make her wary of meeting someone who knows about "Tokirella!

So, she came to the Bardia family this time by making a move as if she was trying to catch them in the act.

'I see. I understand the general situation."

I put my hand over my mouth again, and while clearing my head, my thoughts went round and round.

Although there is a person identical to the villainess "Valeri Erasenise" who existed in "Tokirella!", she has the "memory of her previous life" as I do, and she is making efforts to improve her relationship with the Crown Prince.

If that is the case, it would be best to have her stay where I can watch her and build a cooperative relationship with her so that she can give me information about the relationship with the Crown Prince and the Imperial Capital.

If things were to go wrong, she might go off the rails.

After looking at the expressions on Valerie's and Latiga's faces, I made up my mind and answered.

"I am of the same opinion about Valerie's and Latiga's offer to cooperate with you, but I would like to wait a little bit for a formal answer."

'......⁉ Why? If we are of the same opinion, why don't you agree with me right here and now? Besides, I never lied to you."

"I understand. I know, but since this is an important matter for the future, I would like to give a formal answer after explaining to Fara about her memories of a previous life."

I think it is only logical that I should first tell Fara, who has come to share my fate with me, about my "memories of a previous life.

Besides, I need to get confirmation and approval from my father.

Fara, perhaps not expecting to be named, huffed and mumbled happily, "Thank you, Mr. Rid ......." I nodded at her and smiled.

I nodded at her and looked at Valerie and the others again.

"I will give you a formal answer by the time of the reception to be held here later in the day. How about that?"

"I understand. It's a sudden offer on our part. I'm really jealous of you guys. I really ...... envy you.'

She looked at me and Fala alternately.

Farrar blushed a little and turned her head down, then beamed happily.

Latiga, who had been watching our exchange, smiled and nodded.

"It looks like you two have come to an agreement,Well then, let's go back to the room where my dad and the others are staying."

"Yes, that's right. I understand."

The encounter between Valerie and I was over, and the conclusion of the discussion that took place on the spot would be brought up later.

In the meantime, I was a little depressed, wondering what my father would say if I told him .......
