I Am The Game's Villain

Chapter 15 Need Money To Buy A Gift

”Fuck!”

[Your language.]

”Are you my mom? Shut it!”

I retorted to Jarvis before wiping the sweat on my face stealthily. I was hiding my face after all.

After three hours of walking, I arrived at the capital of the Falkrona Dukedom and I understood that I had made a mistake.

Trusting Jarvis in the choice of the departure day!

I told him to choose a good day, but not too hot nor too cold since I was going to walk for hours, but that guy gave me the worst day.

The sun was blazing in the sky and not even a single cloud was up there.

Only the Gods would know how much I wanted to throw my makeshift black mask off of my face.

Ah, maybe not.

I have had a bad impression of the Gods since I became acquainted with Cleenah, so probably they wouldnʼt know.

”I…will…kill…you, Jarvis…”

I muttered in a creepy tone, since my throat was dry.

ʼWhy did you choose this cursed day?!ʼ

I could survive but all my clothes were drenched in sweat. Fortunately, no women approached me. No, rather no one approached me.

Like hell they will!

A creepy man in full black clothes, wearing a creepy mask was strolling on the streets while being subjected to the burning sun.

Itʼs my fault…

It was my choice of clothes because I thought it was normal in this world!

I mean wouldnʼt people hide their identity in a capital city like that, in a fantasy world?

Moreover, a guild and dungeons were there.

I was sure there were adventurers wearing masks or something like that, but I had to face the reality around me.

They were people wearing leather armor who looked like adventurers but none of them were hiding anything like me. Burly men were showing off their muscles and women, their curves. Then there were nobles who were wearing either suits or dresses.

Though it was a futuristic setting with modern clothes available, the nobles liked to keep their traditional elegant dress and tunic code. Mostly, the parentsʼ generation were wearing such clothes but the younger generation was with modern clothes like on Earth.

There was no rule for clothes but with only one exception.

It was inside the mansions of high-ranking nobles and the Royal Palace of the Celesta Empire. In the mansions of high-ranking nobles, you could still wear modern clothes, but it would be really frowned upon by everyone inside the mansion, even maids and butlers.

Then, inside the royal palace, it was prohibited to wear modern or casual clothes. You had to be in suits, dresses, tunics or formal shirts. Nothing else.

Anyway, I was too blinded by the few books and Japanese novels I read back on Earth and here I was, scaring everyone.

Fortunately, though, people were avoiding me and threw me a few glances. It wasnʼt more than that.

ʼThe next time, I have to decide on a day. I will do it myself.ʼ

I snorted inwardly while making sure Jarvis received my thoughts.

[I chose for you the most favorable day.]

”How come?”

I wanted to punch him for his what seemed to be sarcastic words, but held back and waited for his answer.

[Today is the birthday of Belle Falkrona.]

”...”

I froze at his words and stopped walking.

What?

The birthday of Edwardʼs aunt? My aunt now?

”Are you serious?”

I asked again.

[Hundred percent sure, I have the information on my data.]

ʼWhy the heck do you have such information on your data?! Is that bastard a nonce chasing after fictional women?!ʼ

I was speechless.

When I saw him in Japan, he looked professional though…

​ [I donʼt know, but since itʼs in my data, it must be important.]

Like hell!

”Whatʼs your plan, anyway? Why the day of Belleʼs birthday?”

I shifted the topic and resumed walking. The conversation was going astray too much…

He must have a reason for choosing that day specifically.

[You will see your aunt after a month. You left the mansion without informing her and you will come back as if nothing happened. Whatʼs going to be her reaction?]

”Ah.”

I understood what he meant.

”Wouldnʼt she rather hug me tightly? She will be sure happy that Iʼm alright.”

I mean like any caring aunt. After how she acted with me a month ago, I believed that.

[She will hug you, but in what state will your body be? That is the question.]

That guy.

He sure has grown as a robot.

Was I happy?

Not at all.

I had enough headaches to deal with a noisy Cleenah after all.

But he was right.

Now that he said it, I could really picture Belle beating me up for hugging my battered body.

ʼThen?ʼ

[A birthday gift to calm her down.]

I see.

Indeed, I might be forgiven like that…

Not stupid the rip-off Jarvis.

But-

ʼI donʼt have money though.ʼ

[There are plenty of ways to get money from my data.]

I want to see his data one day.

It might be the golden mine.

ʼHow about robbing?ʼ

I glanced stealthily around me for potential prey. It had to be a man weaker than me and with a trashy personality. Suffice to say that there are plenty of their kind in this world. Believe me, I played the game.

[The Dukeʼs son robbing in his own capital.]

”...”

[If you get caught, which is highly possible, in such a secured place, it wouldnʼt end well for you.]

ʼThen how?!ʼ

[...]

He didnʼt answer me but I knew what he wanted and it was in a simple way.

I raised my gaze and looked at a towering building.

It was a [Eden Guild].

I was really too lazy to go to the [Enigma Dungeon] to make some money, but it will serve as good training, so letʼs do it.

…

-Clank!

I opened the uselessly heavy door of the guild.

And obviously, I gathered most of the gaze because of my black clothes and ridiculous mask. How to say it, I spent three days making that ugly mask.

Cleenah told him it was a stylish mask but I should have known that she was just making fun of me.

I thought that as I heard the giggles and sneers around me. Some even pointed directly at my mask without hiding.

I took a line and waited to register myself. Since Edward had never registered himself in the Enigma Dungeon of his town, I could do it for the first time.

”Oh! Look!”

”Gorgeous…”

”I think Iʼm in love…”

As I waited calmly on the line, I heard a commotion near me.

A crowd formed next to me. They were surrounding some people who had just entered. I couldnʼt see who they were as they were hidden by the crowd, but they surely must be high-ranking nobles.

Look at them, leaving their place, for nobles…

Maybe I shouldnʼt have abandoned my status…?

[Itʼs too late, unfortunately. You can only lament your past mistakes.]

ʼMaybe, but ainʼt you too harsh? He slapped me, yʼknow, I was angry.ʼ

…

After five minutes, I finally finished registering myself.

Not gonna lie, I sweated a little when she asked to remove my mask.

[You could have found a better excuse. She didnʼt believe you, I am sure of that. My data-]

”Donʼt use your data for useless things like that!”

Iʼm also sure of that anyway, so shut up, will you?

I didnʼt know how to refuse her, so I just said I was sick.

Damn…

Even I, wouldnʼt believe myself in her place.

What a pathetic excuse…

I entered the [Enigma Dungeon] while trying to erase that memory of my mind.
