How To Live As An Academy Extra Villain

6 – homecoming(2)

It was already the fourth day since we had changed carriages at Westbury.

The scenery outside the carriage is gradually changing to familiar things in my memory, and it seems that we have reached the outskirts of Maidheaden, our family’s territory.

It will probably arrive at the mainland in about 30 minutes.

After that, I was going to be very busy, so I decided to finalize my course of action, at least roughly.

‘First of all, if possible, don’t get involved with the main character’s group.’

This was very natural.

As befits the protagonists of this world, Eugene and his party must go through numerous incidents in the future.

If I stay around them, the spark may fly to me too.

And I don’t have any particular desire to have a personal relationship.

It’s true that I enjoyed reading the original work, but I don’t think that Eugene’s personality and the characters of the heroines would suit me very well.

Especially among the heroines, there were many people whose spirit personalities were insane.

There were many readers who liked it because it was an attractive and unique character, but it was just a disaster from the perspective of the main character and the people around him.

Anyway, since Iris, who can be said to be the only connection point between them and I, has already sorted out the relationship, I will only have to deal with this part appropriately from now on.

And the second was to figure out my subject.

Being able to predict the future to some extent based on the memories of my previous life would certainly be helpful, but apart from that, the ability of my body now has its limits.

Even if mana sclerosis is cured, it would be difficult to say with certainty whether it would be able to affect not only the main character’s party, but also many other strong people.

Of course, if I can acquire the various items I know, I can become stronger, but I have no intention of touching the things that go back to the main characters.

Apart from my personal likes and dislikes, there are definitely cases that can be solved only when they become stronger.

And I don’t want to do their jobs for them. If you accidentally touch it and it goes wrong, that’s when the real disaster will begin.

After all, I only have a little bit of knowledge, and my intelligence is just like that of an ordinary person.

At my level, it’s almost impossible to get it back to normal.

Considering these reasons, in the end, what I have to do is to try to protect the things around me, my family, Yeongji, and friends-if I can date them.

Of course, this does not mean that we will close our eyes and ears and live in conformity to injustice.

However, simply reaching out and helping someone in crisis right in front of them cannot be put on the same level as the important task of ‘saving the world’.

I am basically a petit bourgeois person.

Just protecting what you have is enough.

It is right to leave heavy and large-scale cases to the main characters and do their own thing.

As I was organizing my thoughts for a while, I heard the sound of a wagon braking and stopping.

From outside, I could hear approaching footsteps and people chatting.

After the guard finished talking with the coachman, he approached the carriage door and knocked on the door.

“Welcome to Maidheaden. May I ask your identity and the purpose of your visit… ”

After mechanically asking for the guard’s usual greeting, he checked my face and took a stance with a surprised expression.

“Confucius!”

“Long time no see, Hicks. Seeing that access control is thorough, I feel very good as Reed’s small family. Originally, I was supposed to be doing my studies at the academy, but I stopped by my hometown for a while because I had something urgent to do. I will go up to the main castle on my own, so there is no need for an escort. Then work hard. Greg, Larry, and you too.”

I lightly greeted the guards and closed the carriage door.

The carriage started again with a rattling sound and began to enter the castle.

The guard looking out the window was muttering something with a somewhat bewildered expression.

“A long time… ? hard work… ? That Confucius… ?”

After entering the castle and running for about 20 minutes, he began to see a grand mansion in the distance.

And in front of the huge front gate of the mansion, I saw several people hurriedly lined up, but it seems that the guards have put in a flue.

It was still a little awkward to be reviewed like this, so I wanted to go in quietly.

Nothing in the world is easily done according to my will, even if it is small.

A carriage soon arrived and stopped in front of them.

“It took a lot of hard work to get here. receive. And as long as you come to Maidheaden, it will be okay to play around for a few days. It’s not a bad place, to say the least.”

“Heh heh, the aristocratic master recommends it, and I can’t refuse it. i do that Please use it again next time.”

When I paid the driver and got out of the carriage, I felt like I heard a ping in my ears, and then I felt dizzy.

Frowning, I took out a bottle of yellowish liquid from my bosom, took a sip, picked up a pinch of the broken powder from my pocket, and poured it into my mouth.

The butler, who had been watching me get off from a distance, saw it and ran to it in a month and stood in front of me.

“Oh my God, young boy… What is that look like? What are those suspicious liquids and powders! how… ”

“Long time no see, Hudson. Don’t flinch unnecessarily and go in. My father?”

The butler stuck next to me and made a lot of fuss.

Maybe this person was mistaken thinking that I was on some kind of drug.

The identity of the liquid is a vitality potion, and the powder is crushed rock salt, which was purchased along with water before departing from Westbury.

For the four days leading up to this point, I starved myself, only taking small portions at moments when I felt like my body couldn’t stand it.

And without any new nutrients coming into the body, my mana was burning fat fiercely.

It was a bit extreme, but it could harm your health and have side effects like the yo-yo effect later…

… are you okay. There are plenty of ways to fix minor problems later.

“What a fuss!! No matter how heartbroken you are, medicine is… In a place where there are so many eyes… !”

“It’s not medicine. Potion and salt. If you don’t believe me, check it out.”

Hudson briefly confirmed what I had handed over with a suspicious look on his face, then returned it.

Judging by the expression on his face, it seems that the suspicion that he is a drug addict is gone.

But seeing the butler talking about how he was heartbroken, I wonder if ‘the news’ has arrived?

“The Count was in the drawing room a little while ago, but has just gone up to his office. And since you are the master’s guest, I am telling you to treat him well, and to come straight to the office after you finish your work.”

I left behind the bowing servants and walked into the parlor with the butler.

My father said he was my guest, so if my guess is correct, he was probably sent by Iris’s family, Robinette.

But that would mean that your father also knew that the engagement was broken, right?

Seeing that he only left me with the words to treat me well without any reprimand, I wonder if he is giving up because he has already left.

“young master… How did you… Where else in the world is there someone like Miss Iris… You have to die right now, get down on your knees and pray… If it were him, he would surely pretend he couldn’t win and accept it… ”

The butler, walking two or three steps in front of me, was chattering non-stop.

Looking back on my memory, surprisingly, my relationship with my family and servants wasn’t too bad.

Most of the servants were people Edwin had seen since childhood, so he just assumed that the boy’s personality was like that and passed on, Edwin… I also don’t have any memory of being openly vicious towards the employees.

That’s why the butler is worried even if he says something like this.

Oh, there is only one. The one time I kicked out a new maid who screamed at me for thinking I was a monster.

Although Edwin considered people below the nobility to be inferior, he only thought so in his heart and did not show much on the outside.

However, at the academy, there was no one to hold the reins for him, and meeting two people who promoted that ideology created a strange synergy, and he ran out of control and eventually received this severe punishment.

Come to think of it, in the past, I had expressed my contempt for commoners to Iris without hesitation. What were you thinking when you did that?

If I said that, did Iris think she would give me a compliment?

The same goes for the maid’s story earlier.

I remember proudly telling Iris that I was thrown into prison for insulting the owner, and Iris almost begged for it, so I ended up expelling him.

But isn’t this the sin of insulting the master? Anyway, the more I think about the past, the more it seems to be a dark history. In the future, I will make sure that things like this don’t happen…

“Okay, Hudson. It’s already over.”

While the butler was talking, we were already in front of the drawing room.

“It was inevitable that this would happen. I’ve already made up my mind, so Hudson doesn’t have any regrets anymore.”

When I spoke in a firm tone, the butler’s expression seemed to be somewhat sullen.

As I left him behind and entered the drawing room, an elderly man sitting on the sofa came into my field of vision.

“Princess Edwin.”

Recognizing that I had entered, the old man stood up and bowed his head slightly to show his respect.

“This is Baron Thomas Perkins. It’s an honor to meet you like this. As a legal representative of Rovinnet, I came to see you today.”

“Nice to meet you, Baron Perkins. Have a seat. I know we have a lot of work to do. Please, I want it to be finished quickly.”

I was worried for a moment that Iris might be holding on to our relationship, but I think it was unfounded.

Now the moment has come to completely organize the former relationship.
