Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 492

The battle at Fort Narrow ended with our victory, but the subsequent developments were very busy.

Father led the knight commander Dinas and the knights who could move that day, and together with Amon and Rafa, they left for Forneu, the capital of the territory of the Foxmen.

The great families and warriors of the Foxmen who had gathered on the battlefield were also retreating, following Amon for now.

The body of "Gareth Grandek," whom Amon and father killed, is being treated with respect, and a tribal funeral is to be held in the capital of the tribe.

Amon will take the lead in organizing the funeral of the former tribal leader, so that the change of tribal leader will be known in the territory of the tribe, neighboring countries, and other tribes.

In addition, the Bardia family would be behind Amon to convey the relationship between the two families.

On the other hand, after seeing my father and the others off, I took the wounded and the members of the Second Order.

I took Mel, Chris, and the others with me and started on my way back to the main residences in the Bardia territory.

At the narrow fortress, which had lost its commander, Cross, Rubens, who had assumed the same position of deputy commander as him, was to remain behind.

Just to be sure, he asked Curtis, Stein, and Raymond to stay with him as his assistants, and they accepted with a resounding "yes".

The knights, including Dinas and Rubens, were stunned at first when they learned of Cross' death, but soon returned to their normal expressions.

"It is hard to see someone you respected die ... But we have no time to grieve. . Those of us who survive and win the battle must make the future brighter."

When we parted, I asked Rubens about it, and he said with kind eyes.

I also asked Diana, who was on her way home with me, and she told me that knights never cry in public over the death of a colleague.

Once again, it was a story that made me realize the strength of the knights.

While being rocked by the charcoal wagon as it drove through the Bardia territory, I heard cheering.

What is going on? I looked out the window and saw people smiling and waving at us.

They are probably spreading the word of our victory to the surrounding towns near the narrow fortress. They must be celebrating the victory of the Bardia family.

Diana, who was also in the car, smiled happily.

"I see. I am glad that the people are happy too."

I answered her, looking out the window of the car, and my cheeks naturally relaxed.

After that, the people we passed on the road cheered for us, and everyone from adults to children smiled and waved at us.

As the charcoal truck continued on its way, the area gradually became darker and darker.

◇

As the vehicle continued along the dark moonlit night road, the lights of the main house came into view.

I had told them in advance by communication magic that my arrival would be around midnight, so they must have been ready and waiting for me.

My body feels a little more relaxed than it did just after the fierce battle.

But I was starting to feel fatigue in addition to the dull ache in my knots that ran throughout my body.

If I let this get the better of me and meditated, I would pass out in an instant.

I thought back to the first time I had fallen asleep when I first activated the "physical strengthening and intense fire."

The burden on my body from the battle with Elba this time was nothing compared to that time.

I am somehow maintaining consciousness because my memory is secretly supporting me from the inside.

I tried my best to smile and say, "I'm fine," but I think I may be at my limit.

"......Almost there, almost there."

Just as I was holding my chest and muttering, " Master Rid, we're here," the voice of Alex, who was driving the charcoal truck, echoed through the car.

I looked up and my eyes widened at the sight outside the car, and I hurriedly got out of the car.

"Rid!"

"Master Rid!"

Even though it was late at night, standing side by side with me were my mother and Farah, both dressed in formal attire.

No, it wasn't just the two of them.

The people who work at the mansion, Sandra and Ellen, were all there.

Mother and Fara rushed toward me, jumping out of the crowd.

With all her might, she hugged me to her chest with all her strength.

"I'm so glad that you're safe and sound,......."

"Yes, . I've been praying for your safety."

The voice of mother and Fara was trembling and tears were streaming down their cheeks.

"I am sorry for your concern. However, the battle was won without incident, and my sister Mel and Chris are safe and sound. Chris and the others are also safe."

As I said this, Diana came to me, cradling the sleeping Mel in her hands.

Mother's eyes were filled with tears as she walked over to them, holding her hand over her mouth.

"Mel......⁉"

"She must have been very tense. She has been asleep ever since we arrived home."

The mother held Mel in her arms as she slept, with Deanna's help.

"I'm glad ...... you are safe. You've already ...... gotten so big."

The mother's expression was not one of worry or anger, but of tenderness filled with compassion.

Now, I've finally reached a point where things are settled.

Just when I was feeling relieved, I suddenly felt light-headed.

I turned to the phone and heard a voice saying, "U......"

" Rid-sama? What's wrong?"

Fara peeked at me with concern, but it was no use.

The sight of Mother's and Fara's faces had apparently made me feel relaxed.

The fatigue, tiredness, and drowsiness ...... that I had been holding back until now all attacked me.

"I'm sorry ...... Fara."

I hugged her with my remaining strength.

" Master Rid⁉"

My eyelids slowly fell as I heard various people screaming in the distance.

◇

I found myself floating in a white, empty space.

I looked around, but there was nothing.

There really is just white space.

Where am I? The moment I tilted my head in thought, a strong light was emitted and I meditated involuntarily.

What is it, ......?

When I fearfully opened my eyes, I saw various buildings in the space that should have been white and empty, and I was floating in the sky.

But I blinked my eyes at the scene that had spread out.

For the landscape that suddenly appeared was one that I remembered from a previous life.

Is it the memory world ......?

As I floated through the sky and looked down on the ground, another strong light was emitted and I meditated.

Again, what is it this time⁉

When I slowly opened my eyes, I was standing in what looked like a 'company office'.

In front of me is the back of a man office worker.

For some reason, I felt a sense of familiarity, and then I felt the presence of someone behind me.

When I turned around, a young woman in a suit was standing there with a smile on her face.

'Kanda-senpai. Can I have a moment now?"

'Ah, Nitobe. It's fine. What's wrong?'

Kanda......? Kanda⁉ I was immensely surprised to see the face of the company employee who turned around at her voice.

It was because it was the very image of me from my memory of my previous life.

After all, this must be the world of memories.

If I look closely, I can see that the young woman is 'Nitobe Narumi'.

When I was a company employee in a previous life, she was a junior colleague with whom I often worked.

As he gulped, Nitobe stepped in front of Kanda.

'Kanda-senpai, you know, simulations and tactics. Dungeon-type games are ...... your favourite, right?'

Eh?" Yes, that's right. But lately I've been busy with work and client social gatherings. I haven't been able to play the game anymore.'

Kanda crossed his arms and looked down in disappointment, but he quickly looked up and said, "Oh, yes, yes.

"The other day I tried to play a FPS (first-person shooter) game during my long break. The account was suspended because I hadn't logged in for too long. It seems that if I apply online, I can unlock it, but I didn't end up doing it after all."

"Oh, I see."

Nitobe looks awkward, with some sort of cliched expression on her face.

'Oh, sorry, sorry. So, what's the matter?'

'No, actually, there was a game I wanted to recommend to senpai.

'Oh, really? What sort of game?"

When Kanda leaned forward with a smile, she quickly held out the game she had hidden behind her back.
