One Day I Beca a Burikko Villainess Noble Girl, . Honto tutorial .

Think of it as throwing money at the author and Alphapolis, and getting a book with squiggles and pretty pictures as a pleasant extra.

You might be thinking, Well, do I owe any thanks to Alphapolis the publisher?, but in fact it is because the publishers are so willing to pick up web novels (Alphapolis in particular) that so many creative stories are being written by people wanting to make it as writers.

Hmph, its hard to relax in such a needlessly sparkly room.

Whilst saying that, Raiga arbitrarily decided to sit down on my sofa and made himself comfortable like he owned the thing. If youre going to complain then I dont mind you getting lost But Raiga doesnt seem to have any intention of leaving. For now, lets try greeting him.

Hey, Raiga. Is i healthy?

Yeah. Today I brought her with to the castle. If possible, Id like to let her go to school as much as possible, but her morning sickness is pretty bad so I think its about ti that she starts taking ti off school.

It seems that Raiga is sweet on i as usual. Even his usual cold-looking face has loosened carelessly.

Hm~mm, that sounds rough. And so, what did you co to talk about today? Right now is my precious rest ti you know?

Henri who was standing nearby showed a baffled expression. Its not unreasonable At the end of the day, the one sitting here is Raiga. Right now hes not antagonistic, but just a little while ago he was my natural enemy. When I was young I had a hard ti because of his followers too.

Because of the incident with Count Tito earlier, weve gotten closer but that doesnt an that I can let my guard down yet. After all, even though he owes us about is rescue, hes acting ridiculously arrogantly right now.

I ca to tell you that Id lend you my subordinates Your subordinates are all theory-loving magicians arent they?

Hahh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Like I said, Ill make it so that you can use my knight order. Honestly speaking, you dont have enough knights after all.

Mm~mn, I cant really deny it.

Its just like Raiga says.

At present, the knights in the castle are splendidly split into the King Faction knight brigades and the Royal Prince Faction knight brigades, based on their dispositions. And vexingly, the knights in the Royal Prince Faction or rather, the knights under Raigas control are better quality. Being a muscle-head, he has his own knights.

Right now the knights in the King Faction are constantly vying for accomplishnts, and there are lots of tis when they dont do their jobs properly when the ti cos. It seems that the ti that I was abducted was the sa. Even though they should have ability, instead of training their skills theyre busy getting better at pushing the bla onto others Honestly speaking, having Raigas knights go with Achille and Camille would be really reassuring.

Magicians are a bundle of individualism, and arent suited for physical labour either. You need knights that you can use, right?

Certainly, having knights in the extremist subjugation would be reassuring. When alls said and done, their physical strength is on another level. Both Camille and Achille are slender, so theyre not suited for jobs that use their body

But why did you suddenly feel like lending your knights?

Raiga suddenly averted his eyes.

Hmph, youre having trouble arent you? Both that magic idiot and that prodigy in sheeps clothing arent by your side.

Could it be that because Camille and Achille arent by my side Hes paying attention to ? That Raiga is? Even though hes Raiga?

Since we were children, we havent gotten along. We never directly fought but even so we had problems with each other.

Have you gotten soft because youve beco a father?

I suppose wonders do happen. Raiga looked at and gave a massive grimace. Blue eyes just like mine narrowed unhappily. But it doesnt seem like hes withdrawing his offer.

Ill be staying in the castle for a while you see There are heaps of things to do.

Things to do?

I reflexively asked him.

The garbage that would harm i, Im going to beat out all of it from the castle without exception

Then, isnt that the sa as what Im doing? He wants to do sothing about the rotten leaders of this country, right? What timing.

Raiga.

What?

Ill help you with that. At the very least, I think I can completely clean up the King Faction after all, and Ive prepared a few things for the Royal Prince Faction too.

I see.

Raiga looked like he was thinking for a little. His silver hair wavered.

Well then, Ill try my best to do sothing about the Royal Prince Faction Be careful. My father is moving to use this extremist case to take down the King Faction thats full of openings.

I thought so Geez, Ojisama, you sure didnt betray my expectations.

Honestly speaking, Im grateful. From my position itd be difficult to make a move on the nobles of the Royal Prince Faction, so its a great help to have Raiga make a move.

I see.

We decided to join forces. Our fathers quarrel without end, but theres no reason that even we have to as well. And moreover, our interests overlap. If Raiga cooperates, then we probably wont suffer from a surprise attack from the Royal Prince Faction while were busy with the extremists either. In that respect, hes a helpful cousin.

After that, he drank up the tea that Henri brought, demanded more tea and sweets, and after completely wasting my rest ti, he left the room with a satisfied expression. Didnt he have any suspicions about poison being put in his drinks or food? Is he broad minded? Or is he stupid, or bold? I dont really understand this cousin of mine.

Authors Note: Raiga-sama is clumsy, but is actually a good guy is what this story was about (laughs) With his beast-like intuition, he can see through enemies and poison.
