I Was Reincarnated as an Incompetent Villain Prince, and When I Was in the Dark for an Oshi, the Hero Seems to Have Lost His Temper. Apparently, the Hero Is Also a Reincarnated Person~
“How long would it take to get to the Count’s residence from here ?”
“It will probably take …… several hours.”
We left the Lost Forest and headed for the Count’s mansion by coach, but the sun was setting and the area was pitch black.
At night, demons become more active.
The day is gone and it is dark around here.
“I’m scared, …… master.”
Kureha muttered with a tremble.
I held Kureha’s hand and calmed her down.
Then, Kureha seemed to feel a little relieved, and her trembling stopped.
“Are you okay? Kureha?”
I asked her that, and she answered with a slightly red face.
“Y-Yes, Master.”
It is already too dark to tell, but I think she is breathing a little heavily.
Maybe it’s because she used up her magical power in the daytime battle.
I’d like to go to the residence and rest soon.
“Let’s camp here for a while and recover our strength as much as possible.”
“I understand.”
I nodded and stopped the carriage.
I was worried about Kureha’s remaining magic power, so I decided to camp here.
★
I finished setting up camp and took a breath.
“Okay, now all I have to do is put up some wards. ……”
I set up the camp’s warding.
These wards are to keep the demons out.
It makes the encampment safe.
After I finished putting up the wards, I headed toward Kureha.
Then I found Kureha sleeping in the carriage.
She must have been tired.
I put a blanket on such a lovely pupil.
“After all, it’s tiring when you’re not used to consuming magic power, isn’t it?”
I am used to consuming magic power now, but I still remember how hard it was at first.
I was looking at Kureha’s sleeping face, reminiscing about old memories.
(She’s so cute)
I thought so with a little laugh.

In the morning, Kureha and I woke up early to finish cleaning up the camp.
Then we get on the wagon and drive off to the Count’s mansion again.
A few hours later, we arrived at the Count’s mansion.
“We finally arrive…..”
“Yeah”
We got off the carriage and entered the Count’s mansion.
We were greeted by a maid.
“We have been expecting you, Count Brylon is waiting for you in his office.”
The maid led us to his office.
After knocking on the door, we entered the room.
There, Count Brylon was sitting on a chair.
“Oh! You’re back safe and sound!”
“Yes, I have successfully completed the request.”
As soon as I said that, Count Brylon got up and ran toward me.
“Really?! I can’t believe you defeated Trent!”
Count Brylon’s eyes sparkled and he waved his hands in the air.
And the maid in the back is all smiles, I didn’t expect such joy.
“Yes, and I’ve solved the anomaly in the Lost Forest, too.”
Count Brylon looks surprised when I say this.
“Y-you have solved the anomaly in the Lost Forest?”
Count Brylon asks with a surprised expression.
Then Kureha steps forward and opens her mouth.
“Yes, the cause of the anomaly was a mutated trent. The mutated Trent was defeated by my master, and the anomaly in the Lost Forest was resolved.”
“Quite a master, Kureha-san, thank you so much!”
Count Brylon takes my hand once more and moves his arm up and down as it is.
Is this a sign of gratitude?
A little strong, but I don’t feel bad.
“Then we’ll be going home now.”
“Please pick up your reward money at the guild, thank you very much!”
Kureha and I bowed to Count Brylon again and left his office.
On our way out of the mansion, we notice that there is a lot of noise outside.
“Isn’t it kind of noisy?”
“Yeah, let’s ask the maids nearby.”
Kureha and I talk to the maid nearby.
“What’s going on?”
When I asked that, the maid answered in a flustered tone,
“A-Actually, Cecil Vermillion, the captain of the Kingsguard, is at the Count’s mansion. ……”
Cecil …… seems like something I’ve heard somewhere.
I’m pretty sure she’s the heroine of this game and the knight of the main character.
But what is she doing here?
While thinking about this, we headed outside.
