247 The young lady villain bursts into tears

Ive resolved the various incidents from the human academy from behind the scenes, and returned to Argnars place. Id left in the middle of the conversation after all. Weirdly, his face was twitching massively though just what is he so scared of? How can there be something like that at time when Im happily smiling away though. To twitch when looking at someones smile, how rude.

With regards to the actions of the elves within the demon territory, I entrust Argnar to continue with that. When sensei isnt amongst them, I couldnt care less what happens to a bunch of elves anyway. Besides, I think that Potimass actions in the human territories is the current focus of the elves.

As for actions of Potimas, thats basically to hijack Yamada-kuns country. When the Hero-kun isnt around Ive observed him stealthily trespassing into the royal castle, and starting with the king, Potimas has embedded a fragment of his soul into all the key figures of the country. If he ever feels like it, they could form a huge army for Potimas.

I dont inform imouto-chan about that. Even if I inform her theres nothing she can do. If its not something I can do anything about, then theres no way that imouto-chan will be able to do anything either.

Yes, I cant do anything about it. Unfortunately, purely based on Potimass mood, that man can do anything he likes to that country. Currently there does not exist the method to save the people that Potimas has put parasites on. Before they get used theres not much I can do except to kill them.

That sure is a nasty ability. Its like he can indiscriminately do something like the attack I once attempted on the Demon King. Well, though I say indiscriminately, based on him clutching senseis head it seems likely that he needs direct contact though. Even still, its scary that theres no defense against it.

If those with the parasites would resist and were able to smash Potimass soul instead that would be great, but I guess thats impossible. The humans on this world are generally weak to Heresy Attacks. Or rather, its because their Heresy Resistance is low. I guess thats because for skills and the like, when peoples souls are not exposed to Heresy Attacks for a long time it causes their resistance level to drop, and the soul itself continues to degenerate as well.

As for the reason why they are not used to Heresy Attacks, its because Heresy Attacks are banned by the church. Well, Im sure the reason for that is if Heresy Magic is capped out, Taboo is then derived from it. For the church, letting Taboo spread is not something they want. I should get in contact with the church sooner or later I guess. Though I think so, theres been all sorts of things Ive had to do and Ive been dragging my feet and putting it off for now. Its not like, going to meet some strange pope is annoying or troublesome or absolutely anything like that. Its not, okay!

Besides, its true that Im busy. After returning from Argnars place, I head towards vampire girls place. Its in the middle of the night already. Despite that, that delinquent daughter has slipped passed the eyes of my clones and concealed her whereabouts. How did she manage to deceive my eyes? Isnt she putting her efforts into a strange direction?

So, because I cant find her with the eyes of my clones, I search the vicinity with the eyes of my main body. I find a place that seems about right, and charge in.

Kyaa!?

Eh, wah!?

Slam. I close the door. I didnt see anything.

This is unreal. Vampire girl, shes already climbing the stairs to adulthood Shes even climbed ahead of me. Whats this, even though this should be nothing to be ashamed of really, theres still this vague sense of defeat.

Or rather, is this why you shook off my clones eh! Make the most of your high spec ability why dont you! It sure seems like she combined several skills to create an original technique.

Did she use Shadow Magic to cover the building itself? She used something like that to hide her concealment? Even still, its not ordinarily possible to deceive my eyes, so maybe she used some other method.

Argh. This is ridiculous. Or maybe, is it possible that this isnt her first offence at using such skillfulness? Theres been previous occasions when Ive lost briefly sight of her, so possibly.

So, where is Waldo-sama?

I am terribly sorry. I have lost sight of him.

Hm? For some reason several males and females have gathered together and are having a whispered conversation. For some reason I decide to listen closely.

Who saw him last?

It was I. As expected, he was with that woman.

I see.

Hmm. I feel Ive seen them somewhere before. Ahh, its that ojou-san and her followers who go to the same academy as the vampire girl. I cant remember her name though. Maybe I should have gotten hold of a memory skill or something before my apotheosis. My memory might as well be Swiss cheese, even if I do say so for myself.

What shall we do?

If we cant find him, theres nothing we can do.

But!

Are you okay with this!?

At this rate, that woman and Waldo-sama will

Hmm? I dont know who Waldo is, but perhaps theres no need to guess that he was the one with vampire girl just now? Ahh, if thats the case then its not at this rate but already done you know.

Felmina-sama, lets do something about that woman!

Thats right! Since that woman has appeared, Waldo-sama and the other high-ranking boys have started becoming strange!

Theres been times when their eyes are vacant that woman has definitely done something to them!

At this rate, its possible that the ones who should be the future leaders of this country will go through something that cannot be undone!

Ah, erm, ahh. The that woman theyre talking about, is the vampire girl right? Ahh, yeah. How should I put it, please excuse my daughter. Did I make some kinda mistake in her education? Or perhaps, to turn men into servants is what a vampire should be doing? Or rather, was she ever like that in the previous world? I dont quite remember everything about vampire girl after all.

Silence!

To the followers who are still arguing, the young lady in the center bluntly declares that.

If I could have done something, I would have done it already! However, that woman avoids it as if nothing had happened every time. That woman is a true monster. Listen, do not do anything careless.

So thats why theres been so many incidents around the vampire girl recently huh. Well, if those who are basically equivalent to the princes of the country are emasculated by some unidentifiable woman from who knows where, anyone would be cautious. Thats particularly the case if there seems to be some suspicious technique involved. Theyd even go so far as to physically remove her of course.

But, it was futile. Well, I guess so. My girl hasnt been raised so softly as to kick the bucket from only that much.

Felmina-sama, you couldnt possibly mean

You must not speak any further. Also, you didnt hear anything either.

All the followers nod their heads silently.

If anything happens to me, please take care of this country.

It seems youre prepared for the worst, abjectly sorrowful young lady. Well. Most likely, this girl will be removed by the vampire girl huh. Her way of thinking is totally like a vampire now after all. She herself hasnt realised the drastic changes in what was natural for her as a human, and what is natural for her now. Thats why, shes unconsciously caused the current situation.

Really. I dont really give a damn about this countrys future, but maybe I can use this young lady. If I feel inclined afterwards, I might pick her up.

At a later date, that young lady was convicted. Since I felt it would be a waste otherwise, I picked her up. She has some decent talents for one, so if she could gain a Ruler skill it would be a good bargain.

Translation notes:

Regarding young lady villain in the title if youve read any series where the protagonist reincarnates into the role of the antagonist ojou-sama character in an otome game, this is generally the term used for that role.

For reference, Shiro gained Heresy Attack LV1 in chapter 109, via the Fear Bringer title. She also gained Heresy Resistance LV1 in chapter 60, via the Merciless title.

Felmina is the person Waldo was engaged to in Blood 25. His name has been written as Wald elsewhere but I decided to do it as Waldo here instead. On a final note, while the author is hinting very strongly as to what Shiro saw, the details are clearly being left to the imagination.
