The Villainess Wants to Marry a Commoner!!

[Hell’s Gate!!] says it will be activated against the person with the highest ‘Karma Value’ in the field of view. But I don’t know what the karma value is, so I can’t activate it carelessly.

“If only Ursch-kun were here at a time like this. . .”

“Did you call me?”

When I was worried and muttered by myself, Ursch-kun replied from behind. When I turned around in a hurry, Ursch-kun was standing diagonally behind me with a smiling expression.

“Ursch-kun!! What about your body? Are you okay now?!”

“Yes. It’s thanks to Isabella’s healing magic and the items you gave me.”

When I hugged Ursch-kun laughing and celebrating his recovery, he hugged me back. Whoa!! Ursch-kun is getting better at hugging me back!! I’m happy. He asked while still hugging me,

“So? What were you having trouble with?”

“Well, I don’t know what ‘Karma Value’ is.”

Then Ursch-kun loosened his hold on my upper body a little bit and looked at my face.

“I don’t know why you want to know such a thing, but. . . I think ‘Karma Value’ is a numerical value that represents the height of ‘bad karma’.”

“Karma?”

“Yes. You hear people say, “It’s deep karma,” right? Simply put, it’s like the ‘sin’ that you carry at the soul level. Why do you want to know?”

So, I told Ursch-kun about the [Back Closet] that I just discovered, the effect [Hell’s Gate!!] that seems to be the magic [Hell’s Gate]. I explained it all step by step. As for the effect, I used my little vocabulary to explain that it is a moving picture that wraps around a temporary body avatar and forcibly convinced him. There were a lot of things to explain, such as why moving pictures turn into magic, but I can’t explain it anymore, so I have no choice but to ask him to accept that it’s like that.

“Hmm, I see. Does that mean [Hell’s Gate!!] will definitely be activated against Viscount Hillson? Because for more than 100 years, He has killed a lot of people as materials for magic, and above all, he ate his children’s souls and hijacked their lives for four generations. I don’t think it’s a soft job, right?”

“But what should I do if there are other people who have worse karma than Viscount Hillson and that person gets involved?”

“. . . I wouldn’t do anything about it. I think the world will only be a little more peaceful. I think he’s a very bad person if his karma is worse than Viscount Hillson’s.”

That’s true. They would have to kill more people than Viscount Hillson, or they’re doing something outrageous. When I was convinced, Ursch-kun tilted his head and thought about something.

“I see, for a special skill called ‘Magic Eye of the Seven Deadly Sins’ it was doubtful that [Wrath] only had the effect of ‘intimidation’. Other than that, for example, I thought that the effect was too poor compared to [Envy]. Well, the current question is whether it will be activated properly or not.”

Ursch-kun said that it will be activated if it is in sight, but since it is called ‘Hell’s Gate’, there seems to be a fear that it will not be able to move from the position where it appeared. In other words, Viscount Hillson could move and get out of the gap reach of [Hell’s Gate], and there is a possibility that the effect object will change.

There are many adventurers and knights around, and some people may have killed people by subjugating bandits. But only [Hell’s Gate] knows whether such an unavoidable thing can be counted as ‘Karma Value’. I want to prevent someone who is trying who is trying to protect the city and the royal palace here from being dragged into [Hell’s Gate] as a second candidate.

“In other words, it must definitely be activated in a position where the gate can reach Viscount Hillson.”

“That’s right. If possible, I would like to make the gate appear right in front of him.”

Then, as soon as I was about to move in front of Viscount Hillson, the two capture devices that were dragged couldn’t withstand it and rolled over, and the two currents that had been restraining the viscount disappeared.

“Ah. . . the new capture device for an earth dragon. . . . . . Well, it’s good because it’s a prototype. It took a long time to make that, but at that rate, it needs a lot of improvement. I wonder if it can barely capture a Wyvern. Isabella, let’s hurry up and go to the front. Maybe with the other two devices, Viscount Hillson can’t be prevented from moving anymore.”

As Ursch-kun expected, Viscount Hillson’s progress speed increased due to the decrease in restraint currents. The other two devices were desperately held back by a large number of people, but they were all dragged forward.

“Isabella, let’s go from the other side.”

Saying that, Ursch-kun pointed to the other side of the street, the side with the capture device that the dwarf adventurer was riding on top of.

“Ursch-kun. Instead of going from that side, why don’t we proceed from here?”

When I asked that question, Ursch-kun lost his expression and shook his head.

“Anyway, let’s go from that side. Don’t make eye contact with the person on this capture device. Come on Isabella, hurry up.”

While saying that, Ursch-kun took my hand and started running to the other side of the street. When we reached the opposite side of the street, we passed by the capture device that the dwarf old man was riding. At that time, the dwarf waved to me, so I looked back.

But why shouldn’t I make eye contact with the gray-haired, golden-eyed girl who got on the capture device on the other side? I feel as if we came to this side to avoid her, but I wonder if she doesn’t get along with Ursch-kun? It’s a little disappointing because she looked like a good girl and we could have been friends.

We ran until we were side by side with Viscount Hillson. Because the viscount’s legs were lengthened to twice as long, the stride length of one step was large and the progress speed was faster than it looked from behind.

“If we don’t stop him, the gate can’t be activated.”

“But now he has the ability to absorb MP just like [Gluttony Pig]. I have to think about how to stop him without magic.”

“In the face of the long-cherished wish to bring his wife back to life, he finally quit being a human being. Oh, Isabella. It might be dangerous if we keep going like this.”

Saying that, Ursch-kun stopped running. When I looked at Ursch-kun’s face in surprise, he pointed to the top of the buildings lined up on the streets. Other people also noticed and stopped. Several knights screamed while running from the front to this side.

“Everyone evacuate!! Everyone, stay back!!”

In a hurry, the people holding back the capture devices and the dwarf who was on the top also got down from the device and retreated backwards.

A huge magic circle penetrated the corners of the building diagonally on the left and right eight-story building facing the street. Oh, that magic circle looks familiar. It’s the bombing magic circle that Alice-chan always uses. . . Huh? No way.

“Destroy!!”

As Alice-chan’s voice echoed from somewhere, the explosion echoed overhead. As it was, the corner of the building was cut diagonally by the explosion and slipped down toward the street.

Who is it?! The person who allowed the building to blow up!! It’s too much!! When the residents who were evacuated come back, they’re going to be stunned!!

However, because of the considerable sacrifice, Viscount Hillson’s progress stopped.

Finally! They can finally stop Viscount Hillson! They know and have the skill to get rid of him and his progress has stopped. Now he should just accept his ending gracefully and get pulled into the gate. But that would be too much to ask, so I will just hope for a short fight and a swift gate opening.

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