I Favor the Villainess

"Nobles, stop the bad governance -!

"I countered the tax hike - hey!

"Get the royal family back -!

From the college dormitory facing the main street of Wang Du, it was possible to observe the demonstration crumbling.

People are marching in the direction of one of the capitols of the House of Lords with a placard.

No one is in possession of anyone who is likely to be a weapon at the moment.

It was still at the protest demonstration stage and did not appear to have developed into a riot.

"I'll stop!

"No. It's pointless, and the timing is too bad."

I rushed to stop Master Claire trying to jump out of the room.

"Why not!? Am I getting a certain appreciation from the people!? If I were to call, I would convey this intention much more than any other nobleman would say!

"Surely if Master Claire leaves now, only this time it may be cured"

"Then!"

"Instead, Master Claire will be considered an ally of the aristocracy after all. Trust from the people who have been struggling to build up will fall to the ground."

To my words, Lady Claire slapped her van and desk as she distorted her face with regret.

I can't believe Mr. Claire grew up hitting things. That's about it.

"Supposed to be on the aristocratic side," he said!? I'm a real nobleman!?

"Does Master Claire just want to be a nobleman? Or do you want to save the people?

"... cum...!

I returned calmly to Master Claire, who was dramatically exalted.

Master Claire is a wise man.

For a moment, it looked like blood had gone up in my head, but I immediately held it back.

"... yeah, you do. You're right, Ray. I don't just want my identity. I want to be an example to the people and to save them."

"Yes, for that matter, we should not move now. Let's see how it goes. Maybe the extraordinary government will change its mind."

"I hope so."

Master Claire looked anxiously at the crowd seen through the window.

"But... why all of a sudden? I've seen everything in the paper, but there wasn't a call for a demonstration."

"Probably, but something bad is happening"

That's what I answered to Master Claire's question.

"What do you mean?

"There is something that is fanning the people"

"!... Resistance!

"On the face of it, yes, but things are more serious. Suras… what's more, the Nah Empire behind it is the mastermind"

As a result of the activities of aspirants, including Master Claire, the grievances of the civilians had been contained at a certain level in the past few days.

Lady Claire would not have been optimistic until she went straight in the direction of dissatisfaction being quenched - but still she should have thought there would be nothing like a demonstration happening for some time now.

In fact, this demo is crazy.

Unless it's another story if it's a small, naturally occurring demo, but now it seems that the demo you can see through the window will never be less than a thousand people.

It is hard to imagine that a demonstration of this magnitude would occur without any meeting or preparation below.

"Are you saying the Empire is pulling a thread behind it?

"Yes."

……

In my reply, Lady Claire's gaze sharpened.

"I've been doing this before, but you can't do it like that anymore. Ray, where did you get that information?

"No, pinch it in my little ear a little bit"

"Stop deluding me. There's no way that such material information is falling around there."

The tone of Master Claire questioning me was harsh, but eventually weakened the tone,

"Ray, I trust you. Come on, can you explain? How do you always know what you're not supposed to know?

……

Master Claire was sincere.

If you delude yourself any further, you may lose faith from Master Claire.

I decided to keep an eye on it.

"I'm not sure you believe me..."

"In the meantime, talk to me."

"Well, I'm not from this world."

"... what do you mean?

Master Claire looked surprised.

"I come from another world. It's another country called Japan."

"Nihon......"

"Yes. I died there once, maybe. And when I found out, I was in this world."

……

I will continue because Master Claire has been silent and encouraging me to go ahead.

"I can predict the extent to which things can happen in this world. I knew it in the world before."

"What does this world have to do with the world before Ray was there?

"Yes, in the previous world there was something like a prophecy detailing what could happen in this world"

I deliberately lay low the part called the world of games.

I accidentally talked to Misha when I was there, because I thought the idea that I might be the character in the story might shock me more or less.

I told Master Claire about this world as a real world until I got tired of it, and I spoke about "Revolution" as a prophecy.

"So you also have some predictions about what's going to happen?

"Yes."

"... what happens?

Lady Claire asked me because she was afraid.

Being scared means you have some faith in my story.

"I can't say"

"Why not?"

"Knowing about the future means interfering with the future. I can't explain it in detail, but if Claire learns about the future, it will be different from the future I know."

……

"I've hit all sorts of hands to change the bad future I'm waiting for ahead. You can't lose the advantage of knowing the future now."

When Master Claire learns about the future, every part of it is about half bullshit.

I simply didn't want to tell Master Claire the end of a revolution that was still waiting ahead.

Because once I found out the revolution was inevitable, I couldn't predict what kind of action Master Claire would take.

The future changes.

However, in a direction where Master Claire can survive.

"That's all I've got."

"... I see"

Master Claire nodded lightly.

"Are you convinced?

"I have no choice but to be convinced. I've witnessed so many occasions in the vicinity where you didn't actually know what you were supposed to know."

"Really? Is it love?"

"Listen to people."

Master Claire has been decoping on my forehead.

It hurts a little.

It's a reward in our industry.

"And Ray was a lost spirit, wasn't he?"

"Yes."

This was also pointed out before when I revealed myself to Misha.

There is a rumor in this world that unaccompanied toddlers can suddenly come out of nowhere.

The child is said to be a stray of the Spirit, many of whom are equipped with strange powers.

"Are all the lost spirits guests from Ray's world?

"You don't know that far. But the world I was in didn't have the convenience of being magical."

"Really? Ray has a lot of magic for that."

"I'm not sure how it works around there. Isn't that who God only knows?"

That's where I made a paragraph about my story.

"I understand your story for now. But anyway, if the Empire is involved in this move, we have to hit something."

"What are you thinking, for example?

"I would like to speak to your father. If the empire were to be a leap behind the demonstration - ah..."

"Yeah, the demonstration could be considered a bunch of traitors and oppressed"

We have no hitter than surprisingly.

The Empire is moving very cunningly.

This is why I don't like politics or home disturbances.

If Lady Claire's life and death were not at stake, I would be fleeing to another country without ever getting involved.

"Is there anything I can do...? Wouldn't Ray have a plan?

"I don't have one at the moment. We need to change the flow a little bit."

"But if I was stuck, there would be a revolution..."

"It's all right, Master Claire"

I said to Lady Claire, creating a soothing voice color to reassure her.

"I will protect you from Master Claire. Whatever happens. Never."

The word was not a lie.

But it wasn't all about the facts.
