If I, the Villainous Aristocrat, Don’t Get My Asses Kicked, This Country Will Fall Apart, but the Sick Original Heroines Will Do Everything in Their Power to Stop It
More than ten years ago, one day I suddenly realised that I was not from this world.
I was still a 10-year-old child, and memories of my previous life came back to me, and I realised that I was a reincarnated person.
A game called [Reconquista of the Spirits].
I had been reincarnated into that world.
When I realised, I was very happy.
Because, you know, right?
In my original world, I was a lowly salaryman, but now I’m a reincarnated person in another world.
I was convinced that a happy future like the hero of the story must be waiting for me.
……, but soon afterwards I remembered who I was and despaired.
[Phil Kulich]
That’s my name in this world.
Phil Kulich is what is known as a ‘villainous aristocrat’.
Phil, the Count, is a typical villain who squeezes the taxpayers to the limit and uses the money to buy alcohol, jewellery and women.
He is a treacherous man and is hated by players as much as a scorpion.
One of the most hated elements is the fact that he forcibly made Rena Savoy, a childhood friend of the original protagonist Linus Becker, his wife with his money and power.
The NTR element came out of nowhere, and the players were screaming, and the scenario writer was said to have suffered a heart attack due to the storm of complaints.
The NTR triggers the protagonist to condemn Phil and deport him in order to win back Rena.
Then, Rena takes over Phil’s count’s territory, and the protagonist marries Rena, becomes the first knight of the territory, leads the army through the events that follow, and saves the country from the oncoming empire.
Yes, that’s right!
If I am condemned and don’t give the territory to the hero, Linus, this country will not be saved by the hero and will be destroyed.
In other words, my absolution is absolutely necessary.
That’s why I despaired when I realised that.
“Phil, we’re almost at King’s town”.
“Yeah, I know.”
“Are you alright? Are you nervous?”
“Well, a bit.”
“Come on, you’ve got your whole life ahead of you!”
“Right.”
Rena, sitting next to me in the carriage, stares at me intently.
I’m on my way to the royal court to fight Linus’ case.
No, fighting isn’t quite accurate.
‘I’m on my way to be condemned’ is correct.
After I realised that I had been reincarnated, I desperately thought about how I could save the world without being condemned.
But one day I realised.
I didn’t have to go through all that trouble, my punishment was deportation.
I wouldn’t die.
So why don’t I join a guild and become a hunter or a mercenary in the outside world?
If I do that, this country will be saved on its own and I can live a healthy life in another world.
Fortunately, Phil was reasonably strong in the original story.
However, he was limited by the fact that he didn’t train in the original story. ……
But then I could train him.
Then I could become stronger and at least survive on my own.
With this in mind, I trained my body from childhood, and after I came of age, I continued to train by taking part in the battlefield.
I am now proud to say that I am quite good at what I do.
At the very least, if I become a hunter, I will be able to earn a lot of money to spare.
In parallel with this, I forced Rena to become my wife, as in the original story, which made the protagonist angry.
So, as expected, Linus, the protagonist, got angry and called me to this place.
Yeah, it’s perfect.
I’ll ask the hero to save the country, and I’ll enjoy the otherworldly life in comfort.
Well, I’m looking forward to it~
To be honest, I was bored with the life of a nobleman because there’s not much entertainment.
It’s no fun playing with fellow nobles with bad personalities.
I thought about buying a woman, but I’m too scared to buy a woman in this world where STDs are not properly controlled.
That said, even if I bought jewellery or other luxury goods, it would be meaningless because I’d be banned anyway.
Then there was really little to look forward to.
On a whim, I built an orphanage and pretended to be a hypocrite, and it was a lot of fun, so I got into it, but that’s really the extent of the entertainment.
Hunters are different in that respect!
The life exchanges with the monsters are gripping, and the drinking with your buddies afterwards is definitely fun.
Everything must be fresh and fun.
My plan is perfect, there are no holes.
Yes, definitely perfect.
“Here, let me hold your hand.”
“Oh, no, thanks. ……”
“It’s okay! I’m your wife, you know? Then I’m supposed to support you in times like this, right?”
“T-thank you. ……”
Rena takes my hand in hers and puts her head on my shoulder.
I think it was a more disgusting response in the original story. ……
Well, it’s probably just my imagination.
Today I’m condemned and Rena can marry her childhood friend Linus in the clear.
And the world will be at peace.
It’s perfect.
“Phil… we’re here, you know?”
The carriage comes to a halt and the driver of the carriage opens the door.
She is brown-skinned and expressionless, but her eyes narrow for a moment when she sees us.
“Ara, I’m sorry, Lise.”
“…… no problem”
I don’t know what Rena is apologising for, but at any rate, it seems we’ve finally arrived at the courthouse.
Lise looks around warily.
This girl is my escort, a former orphan.
And she is also one of the main heroines of [Reconquista of the Spirits].
She was a very strong character in the original story, and of course she was strong in this world too, so I had her as my escort.
This girl would be able to live without problems even if I disappeared and she lost her job.
I got off the carriage and looked at the buildings in front of me.
It is a majestic stone building in a medieval European style townscape.
It is the legal centre of the country, so it is a very intimidating structure.
Swallow hard and get into the mood.
“All right, then, let’s go.”
And then I stepped onto the big stage to condemn myself.

―――
――――
Once inside the court, we are immediately taken to what appears to be an anteroom.
It is a simple stone-built room.
“Please wait there for a moment.”
“Yes”
A man who looks like a guard bows and leaves.
Even though I am rotten, I am still a count, so I am very polite.
“Here it is.”
“Well, you can rest assured that I’ve made sure that whatever the verdict is, it won’t make things worse for either of you.”
“That’s not the point. ……Well, that’s enough.”
Rena almost gets angry for a moment, but it is quickly defused.
It is not a good idea to get into a fight here, and thank goodness for that.
“If it comes to it, I’ll protect you, okay?”
“Thanks, but I’ll be fine. I’ll accept whatever the consequences are.”
I don’t want Lise to storm out after the verdict.
I’ll have to nail it down here.
“Muuu……”
“Lise, now is.”
“I know. ……”
The two of them are looking at each other.
What is it?
No, it’s okay.
“Excuse me!”
A guard wearing a helmet and hiding her face comes in looking nervous.
It appears to be a woman this time.
“Is it time ……?”
“Yes, everything is in order. Everyone please come to the venue!’”
The guard replies to Lise’s question.
I’m curious as to why you say everything went as planned, but I guess the preparations have been completed for now.
Let’s head out, shall we?
“All right, let’s go then.”
After saying that, we headed towards the venue.
—
—
When we entered the venue, the people sitting around us all turned to look at us at once.
The seats arranged facing each other in the circular hall are the battlefield, so to speak, where the two groups fighting in this trial stand.
In front of them stands a man who looks at them with hatred, accompanied by several others.
Linus Becker.
He is the protagonist of this trial and, above all, of this world.
He is also playing the role of prosecutor in this trial.
Trials in this country are a bit special: there are no prosecutors or lawyers.
The accuser gathers evidence, questions him in court and he defends himself.
What a strange system!
Incidentally, Linus has already solved a number of problems in this country as per the original story, and is now playing such an active role that he is called a hero.
The court case brought by such a man is attracting a lot of public attention.
Well, well, don’t stare at me so much.
You’re going to beat me
“Rena! Are you hurt? Anything bad, anything painful, anything hard?!”
“Nothing.”
“I-I see. ……”
Linus looks relieved but a little disappointed.
He probably thought she would desperately need help.
Or rather, I thought so too.
That’s how it was in the original.
“Let’s get this trial over with, shall we?”
“Y-Yes, that too! Your Honor, the defendant is here! Get this trial started now!”
Linus raises his voice as if in a hurry.
That’s funny, he didn’t seem to be in such a hurry in the original story. ……
“Are you ready, Your Honors?”
The presiding judge, sitting in the center of the hall, asks the two of us.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the trial began.
“First of all, Linus dono, I would like to ask you to state the charges against him”
Linus stood up holding a long scroll of paper.
Eh, what?
Is that all my complaint?
Did I do that bad ……?
“There are so many crimes that it’s hard to list them all, but here’s the first. This one has taken advantage of his position as Count to poison the lives of numerous girls!”
Linus shouted loudly to incite the crowd.
And at his words, the onlookers surrounding this venue let out a murmur.
Oh, it’s so cool to see him from the side, just like a hero.
Well, I’m a party to this.
“He runs an orphanage. It is indeed a very wonderful thing to do. But it was just a camouflage to fulfill his own lusts!”
To fulfill my desires? …….
No, sure, it felt good to be thanked sincerely by someone else’s, and by an unfortunate child.
It’s true that I did it for the pleasure of it. ……
“When you say “lust,” what exactly do you mean?”
“Sexual desire.”
At that one word, there was a scream from the audience.
It seems that even in a medieval-style other world, pedophilia is a sin.
I guess the principle of “Lolita no touch” is the same in other worlds.
“It has been confirmed that this man named Phil is bringing in orphans of his choice from the orphanage to his mansion at night. According to the surrounding information, he calls them ‘rewards’ and it has become a big event at the orphanage.”
……that’s
Yes, there is indeed such an event. ……
I don’t care what they say about it though. ……
Well, I guess I’ll just have to resist some.
“Do you have proof?”
“I have witnesses available, and they’re all credible.”
Linus turns to me.
No, not me exactly, but the person standing next to me, staring at me.
He is looking at Lise, …… yes, Lise.
“Come this way, Lise.”
“…..Yes.”
Seriously, …….
I thought Lise was being nice to me. ……
Even though I was prepared to be deported, this is a bit heartbreaking.
“You can only tell the truth here. Don’t forget that there is a curse of sincerity on the witness stand.”
Lise, standing on the witness stand, nodded.
“I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been betrayed by your own guards, Phil.”
“Please …… continue with the trial.”
I have to admit, I’m upset.
I thought me and Lise were friends who had shared hardships, so this …….
I didn’t know if she hated me …….
“It’s okay.”
“Rena,…….”
Rena, standing next to me, encourages me in a whisper.
Damn it, I just had to accept it.
It was goodbye today anyway. ……
“So let’s start with the first question. Did you witness the “reward”?”
“…. Yes.”
Lise nodded without hesitation at the first question.
“Have you ever received that?”
“…… many times.”
The heat of the room rose and rose as the testimonies became more and more graphic.
“How did you feel when you saw the reward?
“….It was frustrating and painful.”
After Lise’s statement, Linus looks around and sees the heat of the audience.
He looks at me with a look of confidence that turns into conviction.
“Did you hear that, ladies and gentlemen? That man is the worst kind of scum! He should be executed right now with the maximum penalty, namely deportation! Isn’t that right, Your Honor?”
“Ummm… ……”
As expected, Linus calls for deportation.
Deportation is one of the biggest crimes against the nobility in this country.
It’s one of those things called nobles’ privileges, a system I’m very grateful for.
Thank God for the country.
“Finally, I have to ask, do you have a grudge against Phil?”
Linus looks good as he asks the question, like he’s got a match.
If you say that your close personal guard holds a grudge on the witness stand, the crowd will be disgusted with how much I’ve done
This is a country that values discipline and honor, and there is no way that they would not condemn such a “villainous aristocrat”.
I would be condemned by Lise’s next words.
Lise takes a deep breath and opens her eyes, as if hesitating for a moment.
I guess she has made up her mind.
She looks straight at me.
I’m sorry, Lise.
I didn’t think you hated me.
“No, I love …… him”
“….. yes?”
With that one word, the atmosphere in the hall changed dramatically.
It’s quite funny that another group not only translating this too, but had another NU section different from the one you created. I mean, different translators but in the same NU section was the norm. But different section? If I didn’t check, I would’ve assumed it was a different novel lol.
