The Villainess Wants to Marry a Commoner!!

As usual, Ursch-kun’s ability to organize and grasp information is amazing. Even if you subtract the fact that I don’t know the geography of the Royal Capital and the location of the building well, I have no idea what you learned from this story. Putting aside how you judged it, it’s good to know the location of the hideout, so let’s hear the answer.

“Well. . . where is the magician’s hideout?”

“To put it simply, it’s ‘underground’. Hey Isabella. Do you know the Benogaiden Empire?”

The Benogaiden Empire? There shouldn’t have been such a country around here. I don’t have any knowledge of it at all, so I shook my head and expressed that I didn’t know.

“The Benogaiden Empire is a country that is said to have been here about a thousand years ago. It’s a country that is said to have disappeared after many civil wars and revolutions. Later, the country changed several times due to revolutions or something, and it is hardly recorded due to the fire of the war, but it was a country where the production of magic and magic tools was thriving. The necklace that Trevor- niisan is investigating is probably also one of the items that are said to have been created in that country.”

Come to think of it, I heard from the tutor that the country didn’t stabilize until the Kingdom of Roserial was founded 800 years ago. The country has changed too often, and it’s not particularly necessary knowledge for a young duke’s daughter, so it was swept away at the time. . .

“Does the Benogaiden Empire have anything to do with the hideout of this magician organization?”

“I don’t have any proof. It’s quite a minor story. ‘Under of the southern district of the royal capital, there is a cemetery of the royal family of the fallen Benogaiden Empire, where there is a recipe for precious magic tools protected by the undead.”

There’s a story like the legend of the Tokugawa Buried Treasure that was hidden in a song.
There is also an urban legend in this country.

“Is it actually there? The underground cemetery of the royal family of the Benogaiden Empire.”

“The previous president of Schneiver & Co. spent his whole life looking for it, but he couldn’t find it, right? It seems that my great-grandfather, the previous chairman, was obsessed with that urban legend, so I knew that urban legend too.”

I wonder what it is, even though he couldn’t find it in the end, something about the man is cool and it feels romantic.
But is there really a cemetery that your great-grandfather couldn’t find. It seems that the question was on my face, and Ursch-kun continued to explain.

“I don’t know if it’s a cemetery of the Benogaiden Empire, but I think there’s a high possibility that the hideout is in the royal capital and underground. First of all, I don’t know how early the heroine left the house, but I don’t think it’s that long before Geese leaves the house. Second of all, I don’t think it’s out of the Royal Capital. But should I think of it as an underground passage or something when you say that she was moving in a dark place where she can’t even see the culprit carrying her? That’s what I thought.”

Certainly, in the game video, she was carried down a dark and long passage, but at that stage Geese is about to leave the house, so the time is morning. Nevertheless, there was no light leaking through the window, and only the brilliance of the hair ornament could be seen. Even though it’s such a long straight passage, is it strange if it’s not underground since there are no windows?

“In addition, it’s a place where the Colors Collector can release flashy magic like a barrage, but there’s no buildings without windows in the Royal Capital, right?”

Certainly, if you want to release that much magic, it’s impossible without the size of the royal opera house, but it can’t be helped that such a big hideout would stand out. And even if it’s a building like an abandoned factory, it’s unnatural that there are no windows at all. Now that you mention it, it’s all convincing. After all, as Ursch-kun says, it must be underground!!

“That’s amazing!! You’re as smart as ever, Ursch-kun!! You’re a great detective!!”

I’m moved by Ursch-kun’s deduction ability and praise him while shaking his hands. I’m praising him, but I really don’t have any vocabulary. Can I only say amazing? But even with a comment lacking vocabulary, Ursch-kun is embarrassed and stirs his bangs.

“The reason I thought it was the cemetery of the royal family of the Benogaiden Empire was that they were getting recipes or literature to create items like that necklace. . . I wondered about this undead commotion. There seems to be almost no damage to the people of the Royal Capital, but where did this large amount of undead come from? That’s what I was thinking.”

Oh, according to the urban legend, the undead are protecting the recipe for precious magic tools. Maybe that necklace is a magic tool created during the Benogaiden Empire. I was interested, so I looked at the necklace that Trevor-niisama was investigating. Ursch-kun didn’t really want to talk about the necklace. What kind of item is it? I tried to appraise it secretly.

{[Anti-soul necklace]
*Inferior product ∇}

. . . . . What? This is. . .
I, I have it!!
Moreover, it’s not the inferior product, it’s a lot of finished products!!

I forgot that I was secretly appraising it, and looked back at Ursch-kun vigorously. Looking at my impatient expression, Ursch-kun sensed that I had appraised the necklace and nodded with a wry smile.

Wait!! Oh my god, game Ursch-kun!! What kind of thing are you completing!! And such an urban legend, or rather, you can’t put legendary items in the prizes of the lotto!! You can’t sell a lotto with such items to the students in the magic academy!! What kind of game, Ursch-kun!! What are you really?!

I feel like I finally understand the true meaning of when I showed Ursch-kun the first [Anti-Soul Necklace] and he told me not to tell others that I have it. I thought the item effect was simply the only problem, but that wasn’t it. The background of this item and the manufacturing method is probably bad. The manufacturing method is worse than the [Magic Eater Mask]. I have such a premonition. The person who creates this [Anti-Soul Necklace] is a dangerous person at a level that can be said to be outrageous.

Eh? By any chance, if I hadn’t met Ursch-kun at that moment on that day and hadn’t proposed, would Ursch-kun have gone on the path to making that pig mask and this dangerous-smelling necklace?

Waaah!! Oh no!! It’s barely safe!!
Well done to me! Whatever I used to regain the memory of my previous life!! I’ll give you a compliment!!

Ursch-kun, who was looking at me repeatedly doing guts poses by myself, snuggled up to me and spoke in a small voice.

“Isabella just told me, ‘Don’t abandon me and stay by my side for all time.’”

What is it all of a sudden, Ursch-kun? I certainly said that. I just said it when I realized again about my memory and stupidity that I had forgotten about the Colors Collector. On the other had, Ursch-kun was quite happy and only replied, ‘Naturally.’ Hehe. When I nod while remembering that, Ursch-kun gives a troubled laugh.

“That is also something I should say. Isabella is a conscience to me. An important shackle that will keep me tied down so that I don’t go in the wrong direction. Isabella was by my side and said, ‘Amazing!!’ As long as you give me a sparkling smile, I can keep going the right way. Hey Isabella, don’t abandon me and stay by my side for all time.”

“Of course.”

Rather, I’m happy!!
There are idiots who would let go of their hands after that. But that’s what I want. If I’m Ursch-kun’s conscience, I will stay next to him until the moment his life ends.
Also, somehow. . . I feel like I can’t die before Ursch-kun. I would feel bad if I left Ursch-kun behind, so let’s live longer than him. Let’s do that.

Ursch-kun, who laughed as if he was relieved by my reply, came back to the original conversation while messing with his bangs.

“Well. . . that’s it. It’s a hideout. . . Considering the travel time, I think it’s close to the heroine’s house. Also, think about the location of Viscount Hillson’s mansion.”

Hmm. If I remember correctly, Marieta’s house was near Ursch-kun’s house in the commercial district of the eastern section of the Royal Capital where I played tag.

“And the cemetery of the royal family of the Benogaiden Empire is in the southern district according to urban legends. But my great-grandfather investigated the south area, so it probably isn’t. That’s why it’s the east, north or the central district, but the central district has the royal palace, so it’s probably not there. The royal palace has a sacred sphere-shaped shield, and the range of the shield extends underground, so the undead can’t exist.”

“Then, it’s east or north. Huh? The direction that the Colors Collector was heading, wasn’t it the west district that Alice-chan was talking about earlier?”

” I think the west district is different because there is a magic academy and a knight school. Even though it’s not as big as the royal palace, it has a shield, and it will stand out if a suspicious person is wandering around. In addition, I don’t think he would go in the direction of the hideout openly, so isn’t it a hook?”

Certainly, according to Alice-chan’s story, it seemed that there was a prominent appearance such as leading the undead, and there may be an intention to deceive.

“So, east or north? It’s wide, so it would be nice if we could at least narrow it down to one of them.

Hmm. I’ll think about it with Ursch-kun.
After a while, Ursch-kun murmured.

“Maybe. . . I wonder if it’s north?”

“North? did you think of anything?”

When I said that, Ursch-kun answered confidently.

“I can’t think of anything. . . I thought that the hook I mentioned earlier could also apply to this. First of all, if there is an urban legend that there is a cemetery underneath of the south district, there will be people who look around the south district like my great-grandfather, right? If there are people who want to hide the cemetery, I don’t think they will leave the urban legend as it is. That’s why I thought the  ‘South District’ in the urban legend was a hook in the first place.”

“So, do you think it’s the north located in the opposite direction of the south?”

“Yeah. Well, it’s an easy idea.”

By the way, there is a steam locomotive track in the southeast district of the royal capital, and trade is thriving in the south district.
The north is an agricultural and livestock district, and there are many food processing factories such as cheese and bacon in this area.

“It’s kind of unsettling that there may be a lost imperial cemetery protected by the undead under the farms and ranches. Are the crops okay?”

“Hmm. It’s true that plants and animals seem to be growing properly. . . Oh, come to think of it, there was an area where crops didn’t grow in the northeast area. Even if you build a factory, it will go bankrupt and close, and you can build an apartment complex, but there are so many people going in and out that you can’t stay.”

“That. . . Isn’t it obvious and suspicious?”

“Yes. Why didn’t I think of it right away. . . There are a lot of people coming and going, but it’s not that no one lives there, right? There are a lot of people whose security is a little bad, but it’s pretty lively. It’s not even a slum because the country is stable.”

Hmm. Is it lively?
Well, it was a thousand years ago that the Benogaiden Empire existed.
Even in Japan in my previous life, people were able to live on the battlefield a long time ago.

“If it’s a busy area, it’s going to be hard to find it. I don’t know where the entrance to the underground is. Especially if the entrance is hidden in a building, I don’t feel like I can find it.”

When I held my head like that, Ursch-kun looked strange.

“Eh? You don’t have to find the entrance, right? For the time being, you just need to find a large underground hall that became the final battle with the Colors Collector. Isabella found a worm underground last time, right? It’s not a passage in that way, it’s just a matter of finding the hall.”

Eh? Is that so? Then I feel like it’s easy to find.

For those reading on Novel updates!

Unfortunately, it seems that the next few chapters have not been updating to NU. I am working on getting the problem fixed, but until then if you would like notifications of when new chapters are released, please join our discord and go to roles. Also, I update every day at the same time so if you notice that a new chapter has not been updated at a time that it usually would have, go to the KnoxT website for my newest chapters. Sorry guys, and I really hope it gets fixed soon.

Isabella said that she doesn’t want to know how the necklace was made, but this chapter made me really curious to know. And it seems like she finally realized that the game Ursch was a bad guy.

Isabella’s idea to not die until after Ursch is a really good plan (for the safety of the rest of the world). Unfortunately I don’t think that’s really something she can control.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
