◈ Reincarnated as the Villain's Heir
Chapter 44: At Least Let Me Have a Quiet Outing on My Day Off
──────
"Lord Alphys is surprisingly fond of games, you know. That means the casino is the only choice. Got it?"
"Lord Alphys is a serious person! He would never play around like that!"
On our day off, one thing led to another, and I ended up going out to the royal capital with three girls.
I had wanted to use the day for training, but taking a breather like this once in a while was necessary too.
Besides, since reincarnating into this world, I had never really walked around the royal capital properly.
And yet, the moment we gathered, Luchel and Leticia suddenly started arguing, so things were already turbulent.
As expected of someone who was always with me, Luchel knew my tastes.
"Heh-heh! Leticia, you don't understand Lord Alphys at all!"
"L-Lord Alphys! Do you truly frequent casinos!?"
"No, I don't. Don't leap that far."
Leticia got so worked up that she began making strange assumptions.
I mean, in the game, when the player controlled her, she played slots and things with no hesitation.
Leticia herself was supposed to dislike those kinds of facilities.
She had looked reluctant in-game too. But if you controlled her, she did it anyway.
"I like games, but casinos aren't my preference. Anything with too much luck involved doesn't suit me."
"See! Lord Alphys says he does not like casinos after all!"
See, she says.
When Leticia looked triumphant, Luchel made a frustrated little sound.
Still, this was that.
When we used the central plaza as our meeting place, couples stood out no matter what.
Usually, a couple meant two people together, but here we had one boy and three girls.
"Hey, that guy's got three girls with him..."
"At that age? That's amazing."
"Young people these days are outrageous! Go home and study!"
Of course people would stare. And mind your own business.
Actually, we got this kind of reaction even outside the academy?
"How pointless. The destination was decided from the start."
"Lilisha, do you have somewhere in mind?"
"Alphys wants to do it with me. Isn't that right?"
The air froze. She was a fire magic user, wasn't she?
Luchel went red all the way to her earlobes, while Leticia stared blankly.
"L-Lilisha! I will not permit such indecency!"
"Wh-what? If you want to do it too, you can go after me."
"Haaaaah!?"
Luchel backed away unsteadily, her face as red as a boiled octopus.
Here stood two sheltered young ladies and one filthy-minded angel who knew too much for her own good.
I was an adolescent boy too, so it was not as if I was completely unaware of that sort of thing.
"L-Lord Alphys! Why are you blushing!?"
"No, I'm not..."
"Lord Alphys is indecent! Uwaaaah!"
"Enough. Let's move somewhere else."
I pulled Luchel by the hand and left the plaza.
The other two read the mood and hurried after us. Now then, where should we go?
"So Alphys wants to fight me, right?"
"No, not at all."
For the time being, we had entered a random clothing store, but was this really the right choice?
Normally, it should have been a cafe, right? This was all that filthy angel's fault.
And I had understood what Lilisha meant to say. Truly.
"Why not? Do not tell me you got scared."
"Why would I have to fight you when we're out relaxing on a day off? We can do that as much as we want at the academy."
"Th-that is true."
"Today is for enjoying the holiday. You only got misunderstood because you think about fighting all the time."
"What do you mean, misunderstood?"
So she did not understand that part either.
If that filthy angel made a fuss any longer, it would be annoying, so I decided to change the subject.
This was a clothing store, huh. I had no interest in fashion at all, so what was I supposed to do?
"Lord Alphys, what exactly did that mean?"
"No idea. More importantly, Leticia, is it all right for you to go out like this as a princess?"
"While I am enrolled at the academy, I am permitted to act like a normal student."
"I see. Then you can enjoy yourself to the fullest today."
Good, the subject had completely changed.
Next was clothing, then. I had no interest whatsoever, but girls liked this sort of thing, right?
Go ahead and look around as much as you wanted.
"Luchel, is there any clothing you want?"
"Huh? I..."
Luchel's gaze wandered.
Other than her uniform, she usually wore something like a white one-piece dress.
Maybe she was not interested in fashion either.
"M-maybe this?"
"Why are you looking at me?"
"How is this?"
"I think it suits you."
"Really? Then I'll buy it!"
Just as Luchel joyfully went to buy the outfit, I saw that the price had five digits.
I had mission rewards, so it was not that I could not buy it, but it did not seem like a price she should decide on instantly.
"Ehehe! I bought it! I'll go change now!"
"Already?"
Luchel entered the fitting room.
For some reason, I remembered an urban legend about fitting room walls being revolving doors that kidnapped people.
Well, I wanted to believe there was no one who could kidnap her.
"This one does not really suit me."
When I looked beside me, Lilisha was glancing at me while holding an outfit against herself.
I could not tell whether it suited her or not, but that price had an incredible number of digits too.
Even if she was a rich young lady, it was not something I should carelessly recommend.
"Yeah. You should stop."
"Wha! What is that supposed to mean? How impudent!"
"Why?"
What was wrong with her boiling point?
You were the one who said it did not suit you.
"L-Lord Alphys. How about this one?"
"Looks good to me."
"Truly? Then I will go buy it!"
"Huh?"
Hey, at least look at the price.
Since she was a princess, I did not need to worry about her finances, but that was obviously a luxury-brand price.
Why did every single one of them decide instantly? Stick to your own judgment a little.
"Lord Alphys! I bought it and changed. Does it suit me?"
"Y-you really bought it. It suits you."
"Ufufufufu, thank you very much!"
Of course I could not tell her it did not suit her after she bought clothing at such a ridiculous price.
She and Luchel stood side by side in brand-new outfits.
I had made them buy expensive things with my careless judgment, but would this be all right?
Fashion was truly outside my field of expertise.
"Make way! Come on, come on! Shoo! Shoo!"
It was noisy outside the shop.
When I looked through the window, a luxurious carriage with a lordly procession was moving grandly down the royal capital's central avenue.
The fat man riding in that carriage waved one hand arrogantly, as if brushing away the people walking on the street.
That was, if I remembered right...
