◈ Reincarnated as the Villain's Heir
Chapter 4: The Hidden Boss Has Taken a Liking to Me
──────
To free Luchel, the angel race girl, the tamed state needed to be removed.
Monsters captured with the tame skill were placed under control in both body and mind.
Basically, they stopped defying their master, but Luchel seemed to be special.
To begin with, the fact that Gillium had managed to tame Luchel, who was extremely close to human, was a little surprising.
In the game, she stood in your way as a boss, so classification-wise, she was probably a monster.
Even so, I guessed the reason her heart had not been fully controlled was because she really was a special existence.
"Hey, Gillium. Wake up. Release Luchel."
"Uugh... I-it hurts... Ugeh..."
"Damn, is he seriously injured? Someone heal this guy, would you?"
I had done it myself, but even I thought the damage was pretty bad.
When I called out, my older sister Mirei came over.
Mirei, the eldest daughter, wore a pointed hat and had long light-blue hair.
In the game, people said she was the strongest enemy after Alphys.
Her best attribute was water, but she should have been able to use recovery magic too.
That sister of mine smiled at me with a bewitching air.
Then she brought her lips closer.
"Okay, kiss."
"No kiss."
"You used to do it for me all the time."
"Because you forced me."
Yes, this sister was an extreme bro-con.
Whenever she saw an opening, she crawled into my bed. She waited for me after I got out of the bath.
The moment I opened my door and stepped out of my room, she kissed me. She was basically a random attacker.
That sister of mine might be like this, but if things went badly, she could be stronger than even our eldest brother, so I could not go against her.
At the very least, the current me absolutely could not beat her.
Even in her normal state, the pulse leaking from her felt like it was stabbing into my skin.
"You are so shy. Then your cheek is fine."
"Fine, fine. Mwah."
"Kyaa! Alphys, you little sweetie!"
"Seriously, hurry up."
I hated it, but if that was enough to put her in a good mood, it was cheap.
Big Sister Mirei cast recovery magic on Gillium, who could not get up.
"Ugh... Big Sister Mirei, thank y... Gahaa!"
"Hurry up and release that child."
Big Sister Mirei mercilessly punched Gillium in the stomach.
Was she trying to injure him again right after healing him?
"U-ugh... R-release..."
Gillium turned his palm toward Luchel and muttered the word.
The instant he did, Luchel flapped her white wings and kicked Gillium upward.
"Guhah!"
"How dare you forcefully tame me. I could not defy you while I was tamed, but now I can kill you, you know?"
"Wait, Luchel. Even someone like him is still technically family."
"Yes, Lord Alphys!"
What was with this change in attitude?
If I remembered right, she had been an incredibly annoying character.
Her wings fluttered as she came to my side.
"Lord Alphys, thank you so much for fighting for me! You are strong and kind, and I have come to love you so, so much!"
"I see. That is good."
"From now on, I swear loyalty to you, Lord Alphys, so please order me to do anything!"
"Then you will work as my subordinate."
"Subordinate? No, no... You can call me your servant, or even your cheeky little girl, if you like."
Anything was fine at this point.
I did not really want to say something as arrogant as subordinate, but right now, I was Alphys of House Balfont.
I had to act the part so people would not look down on me.
More than anything, acting like Alphys sounded fun.
"D-damn it... I lost to someone like Alphys... This has to be some kind of mistake!"
Gillium shouted in a rage.
After glaring at me, he stomped over.
"Alphys, fight me again! You just got lucky using dark magic and pulse!"
"There is no way I could produce those things by luck. This is pathetic."
"If I had known about them, I could have countered them! Next time will be different!"
"What obligation do I have to accept that match? What do I gain from it?"
Sure, if you knew someone's hand, you could make countermeasures.
It was the same as a game. But when someone said that after a match where I could have killed him, even I got irritated.
Having him pester me from here on would be annoying too.
In that case, maybe I should just...
"Enough."
Leorg, who had been silent until then, opened his mouth.
The moment he did, I felt everyone freeze as if they could not move.
What Leorg released from his body was pulse.
The nature of his pulse was fear. It had a damned troublesome property that bound the instincts of living creatures.
"Gillium, Alphys is right. You died in the previous fight."
"F-Father. But I did not know Alphys had hidden cards like that..."
"The same applies to Alphys. He did not know your hand either."
"B-but!"
Gillium was about to make another excuse.
Then his body stiffened, and he began to tremble violently.
Under Leorg's pulse, he could not move a single muscle, and tears began to spill from his eyes.
Defying him is not a smart move, Gillium.
Eventually, I will probably become stronger than him, but for now, he is the strongest man, and no one can beat him.
"Your family name is Balfont. Do not disappoint me any further."
"Y-y-yes..."
After Gillium dropped onto his backside, liquid spread across the floor.
He pissed himself. Well, no wonder.
I had not thought he was this unsightly.
Leorg stood in front of me.
Being looked down on by that huge body was pretty intimidating.
As expected of the future World King.
"Alphys, I expect much from you."
"Yes."
When I answered obediently, Leorg smiled in satisfaction.
He was probably expecting me to perform well as one of his pawns, but depending on the situation, I might have to defeat you too.
After all, I knew the strategies for everything, down to your pulse and magic.
I would surpass you and aim to become the strongest.
