I Reincarnated as a Villain of an RPG, But I Want to Survive

"Diploma"

"Sage Without a Cut of Paper" came to me.

"I hereby certify that you have completed the entire course of my teachings."

"Do you want this?

"Ha!? What are you talking about?!? How did you not prove your graduation without a certificate?!?"

Yes, sir.

Then let's leave it at that.

It is troublesome to have more extra baggage when you say you will have to travel across the mountains again from now on, but a piece of paper will not be that much of a burden.

"Cyril and I say goodbye."

I had already packed my bags and was ready to travel.

Thankfully, my teacher and disciple are here to drop me off.

"Cyril won't be with us for a while now."

on the shoulder of Cyril at the time. 'The Unwise Sage' says.

"Unlike you, I still have a lot to teach. Besides, I wasn't going to let you out of here until you were fifteen because you weren't even in public at your age."

Fifteen is the age of one person in this world.

That's not how old I am for military service.

"Until then, please tell me about Cyril. This world is too rude to him."

So at least we have to be nice to this girl.

When Cyril was ten years old, he visited Anjo.

Then two years later, I travel one foot ahead. This means that Cyril will be fifteen years old, three more years from now.

That is when he travels to defeat the Empire and the opening of this edition of Beast Fantasy 4.

I wonder what I was doing back then?

As a member of the Imperial Army, will you soon bump into this child?

"Cyril......"

Face it to spare your goodbyes.

"Are you sure you're going? Brother?"

"Yeah, I have to go home and get military service. And my family's waiting for me."

The idea of not going back to Empire City like this didn't even come to mind.

But if you do that and refuse to serve in the military, there will be a lot of trouble for the parents and sisters you left behind in your hometown.

Escape from military service in Imperial City is a greater crime than murder.

I don't know what kind of disaster will fall on my family as well as the person who committed it.

So even if I leave my family here, I have to go back for them.

"I think of Cyril like a real brother. I'm so glad I met you here."

That is the true intent that is not false.

But with the future in mind, was it really right that we met here?

There are really sad things waiting for Cyril's future from now on.

I pseudoexperienced his life as a game, because I say so, for sure. Every time an event occurs, all it takes is to slap the controller and yell, 'Is there no blood or tears in the operation!?'.

Even though it's already been the trauma of things for the rest of my life from the beginning.

If you were to reunite with me after this, would you be adding another episode of Cyril's trauma?

I can't do anything about it.

Speaking of what I can do, there's at least one thing I can do right now to tell you the truth and give you some room in my heart.

Make room to accept the unacceptable.

"But………, but……………!?"

No, I can't tell you!

There's no way you can ruthlessly say to Cyril, who admires me like a brother, 'I'm your enemy'!

But if I don't say it here now, sooner or later, the shock will multiply when I'm fully enemy and reunited.

I have to tell you now!

However!

How long has it been since I've been silent in my thoughts?

Then Cyril gave me his arm and hugged me.

It was an embrace that spared a goodbye.

"Cyril...!?"

"I love my brother......! Whatever country you are from, I love you brother!!"

Cyril, you can't be.

"Cyril, you don't know everything."

"Did you talk, Tanuki!?"

"Guzguz, there's nothing to say. It's not a bad idea. Even if it isn't, Cyril, I've always wondered about the oddity when I first met you."

Bizarre!?

Wait a minute, I don't remember doing anything weird like that. It's not Tanuki.

…… Ah, if.

"Underground?"

"No ping-pong"

When Cyril first visited me, I abruptly sat down and bought the confusion around me.

That was an apology for my silliness additions and subtractions that I couldn't take advantage of, knowing what would happen to the future from the memory of my previous life...

"…… well."

Did they take it in a different way?

I'm from the Empire, so you think I apologized on his behalf for the disaster the Empire caused.

But I don't care.

I embraced Cyril again.

"You go as you wish. Your revenge is right. If I ever stood up to you as your enemy, I'd be happy to kill you."

"No! I don't like killing your brother! The bad news is the Emperor! I...!

Cyril hugs my body.

"Defeat the Emperor! Defeat the Beast God Beast behind the Emperor, too, to free your brothers and show them! The Emperor and the Beast God are the evils that really should be defeated!

Did Cyril go to that conclusion?

That's the only way to align the various complexities in him.

With the Beast God Beast, which is a dark curtain in the "Beast Fantasy" series.

Herod the Emperor of the Behemoth Empire, who covenants with his Beast God.

These two are the true evils, and the others, even if they are imperial officials, are only their victims.

"… ok. If that's the case, I'll support you in your fight."

"Brother!"

"I'm on your side till I die."

In this way, I could only avoid the worst form of breaking up with my apprentice.

Even after I left, Cyril must have spent some time under The Wise Man to learn how to survive his own hard and arduous life.

Three more years.

When the time comes, Cyril will be nesting again.

In what position would I be reunited with him?

If I may, I want to be reunited in a position where no one will be hurt.

◆

And he came back.

To the imperial capital.

It was my first return in five years.

Time is ninety-seven years of experience in the empire.

The landscape of Imperial Capital that I have seen for a long time…….

"Something rough, huh?

It felt like.

The imperial capital before the trip was quite crowded and deserved a moment of liveliness…….

Now the crowd is sparse.

The outdoor shop was also sparsely vibrant, with floaters and soiled men sitting at the side of the road.

"Doesn't it look like a slum……?

As my hometown has changed, I look around with half nostalgia and half rarity......

"Oops?

I bumped into something, I was walking with the rest of my findings. It was my fault, but I immediately realized that it was a person's body that bumped into me and I was afraid.

"Excuse me! Walk without looking forward. Are you hurt?!?"

"Ah?"

And I knew right away that it was a big man as huge as a wall that hit me.

You don't have to worry if they're hurt.

You'll need to worry about something else though.

"I'm a mushy bastard trying to hit this Gashi-sama and apologize for one thing. You mean they're selling fights? See?"
