The Son of a Corrupt Lord Doesn't Want to Become a 'Saint'! V1C18
Stage1-18 Mission Complete
What a heartwarming sight, huh?
...Yeah, right. I was sweating bullets inside.
I have to give credit to these kids for showing up at the right moment.
And to my quick-witted brain that figured out the situation.
Actually, the kids came to me earlier.
They must have been scared as hell.
Who would have guessed they would offer themselves to me. It was the best bargain ever.
Of course, I accepted their plea without a second thought.
And then Mio came to her senses. She got to keep her precious kids.
I got myself some loyal servants.
Everyone was happy, it was a perfect ending, right?
That's how it is now.
"Hey, hey, stop your sniveling. Get your stuff ready."
I gave them a taste of hell with my first order when they calmed down a bit.
They all stared at me with a shocked look.
"Vellet-sama...? What do you mean by that...?"
"It's simple, isn't it? You're all moving to my home, the Vellet territory."
"Ve, Vellet territory!?"
"Yeah, I'll take care of your lodging. You just pack your bags."
I don't trust words alone.
That's why I'll trap you once you get to the Vellet territory.
"And I'll assign you a tutor, so you'll study every day instead of goofing off. You can't do anything without knowledge, you know."
“…………”
They were speechless at my terrible announcement.
It must be torture for these carefree kids to lose their freedom and be forced to learn under me, right?
But it's already settled.
I knew they were ignorant when they were having fun.
They're useless to me like this.
So I'll make them work hard until they're not.
By the way, I'm planning to have the tutor report to me if they try to run away.
Mio and the others are totally under my control now.
"Alice, did I say anything strange? It's a fair deal, right?"
"Yes, I think it's a wonderful decision."
Hehehe, it looks like Alice won't argue with me this time.
This time, I did Mio and the others a favor by following Alice's suggestion.
That means, Alice is in my debt too.
Everything went according to plan (perfect).
"A carriage will pick you up in a week. Don't be late."
"Please, please wait, Vellet-sama!"
"What? What's the matter?"
"What do I do from now on?"
Well, you just have to come with the kids and look after them... But, yeah.
Let me use a phrase that my crappy boss used to say.
"Figure it out yourself."
"Figure it... out myself?"
"That's right. Figure out what you can do for me."
"For Vellet-sama... What I can do..."
Well, I don't expect any complaints, but it would be annoying to deal with them if there were.
"I have lessons starting tomorrow. Come on, Alice, Mashiro."
I said what I had to say and left the orphanage.
I ignored Mio's mumbling behind me.
It's too late to regret asking me now.
In the end, the only way to beat evil is with a bigger evil.
"What's next, Ouga-kun? We still have some time before the carriage gets here, right?"
"I'm going to teach that guy I left behind a lesson. He has a lot of things to do for me."
"Teach him a lesson... how?"
"That's obvious, isn't it?"
I clap my hand with a fist.
"With force."
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
"Big bro! Let me serve you!"
"......"
We look at each other.
When we get back to the tavern, Aliban was already awake.
And this was his first words.
"What are you up to?"
"N-no! I was impressed by your strength, big bro!"
"...Oh?"
I realized it when we fought... You're the one who should be on top of the people!
"I get it, I get it"
He's not bad, this guy.
That's right, I'm the guy who's meant to be a wicked lord who dominates the commoners and enjoys a luxurious life as a noble.
"So, you'll obey any command I give, right?"
"Absolutely! I'll dedicate my life to you, big bro! I'm happy to be your slave!"
He seems to be really loyal to me.
Maybe I don't have to train him.
Just to be sure, I glance at Alice to see if he's lying, but she nodded at me.
"I get it, I get it. Okay, Aliban. Then, let's assign you a task right away."
"Yes! Thank you so much!"
"Aliban, you are to-- punish the naughty kids around the world."
"...What?"
Then I explain to him the task I had in mind for him.
Basically, he has to travel to the lawless areas and beat up the bad guys and bring them to me.
No one would care if the troublemakers suddenly vanished, sadly.
And I was planning to reopen the underground arena with the ones I collected.
This way, I could be the boss and make a fortune with my tactics.
If the players were mine, I could fix the matches as I wanted!
The place was intact, so I barely needed to invest anything new.
Of course, Alice didn't know about this, so I was vague about the underground arena.
I'll talk to her when we have a chance alone.
Maybe I'll ask her about the origin of the [Body Enhancement (Doping) Extract] then.
"So, you mean I just have to do the same as big bro and eliminate the villains?"
"That's right. Just follow my lead."
"The role given to me by big bro... I'll surely accomplish it."
Yeah, yeah, it's good that he's enthusiastic.
I've done everything I had to do for now.
"Oh, you'll stay like that until next week."
"What?"
It was only natural until Mio and the others moved.
So, stop making that pitiful face.
And so, I finished all my missions and left the event.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Ouga doesn't know.
"My name is Aliban! I came to this town by the order of Ouga Vellet-sama. Come on, tell me where the scum who bother you are. I'll deal with them."
He doesn't know the future where the security will improve as Aliban gathers the villains from all over the place, and where his fame will rise among the commoners as he brags about being a follower of Ouga Vellet.
Ouga doesn't know.
"Come on, everyone. Let's offer our prayers today. Let's thank the [Savior] who brings us the righteous [Salvation] - Ouga Vellet-sama."
"Yes, Sister Mio."
He doesn't know the future where Mio, who was devoted to Ouga as a result of thinking for herself, will establish the Ougaism with the children - a crown that means he is fit to be a king - to spread his greatness.
And the future where it will grow in the Vellet territory and among the commoners.
"Hehehe! It feels good after completing a job, Alice! Mashiro!"
"It was a wonderful work, Ouga-sama."
"Really! Ouga-kun is incredible. I'll learn from him and do my best too."
He doesn't know, as he laughs loudly in the carriage.
