Reincarnation: Only I Can Play the Villain

"So everyone in the tavern entrusted you to visit me..."

In the dining room deep in the church, Xier had a sudden realization on her face.

"I'm really sorry for making everyone worry."

Chu Mu glanced around, although there were some mottled marks on the walls and pillars,

But the floor and furniture are very clean, with a strong sense of life.

Near the dining table, there were about ten or twenty children, looking at Chu Mu and Xi'er with great interest.

"So... here is?"

"As you can see, Mr. Chu Mu."

The middle-aged woman next to Xier, who called herself "Maria", smiled.

"This is an orphanage."

According to Ms. Maria's explanation, she and these street children have lived in the church for a long time.

Although it's called an "orphanage", she doesn't actually run it.

There are plenty of places like this on Daedalus Road—or rather in the slums of "Oulalie."

Most of these orphans are descendants left by adventurers,

A child is not necessarily the crystallization of love between two people,

It may also be an accident of one night indulgence......

After all, the world has not invented all kinds of contraceptives.

In short, female adventurers, or the whores of the night street,

Abandoning children who get in the way of their lives in the dark and deep alleys of the slums.

"At first it was out of sympathy, but I really can't bear these abandoned children..."

On Maria's thin and kind face, there was a gentle expression.

"So I borrowed this church without permission and opened this nominal 'orphanage'

Hearing this, Chu Mu pondered for a moment before asking.

"Is it enough in terms of funding? If so...."

"It's not a worry about food and clothing, but I don't need my husband's help.

Maria answered Chu Mu's question with a smile.

"Because from time to time there will be kind gods and lords who will bring condolences and money, and in addition..."

As she spoke, she looked at the girl beside her with kind eyes.

"Miss Xier also often comes to play with the children, and kindly helps to take care of them, which really helped me a lot."

"Oh? So it's like this..."

Seeing the sudden look on Chu Mu's face,

Xier joked in a naughty tone.

"Have you got the 'truth' you want, Mr. Detective.

Chu Mu also said with a smile along with her cosplay.

"Well... the motive of the 'suspect' has become very clear."

"Hey, you want to arrest him and bring him to justice."

"It depends on your self-awareness—Ms. Miya said that you have asked for leave too many times during this period and wants you to look good.

"Ah, it seems that it is indeed too much. I hope Miya's mother will not be too angry."

Looking at the young men and women who sang together like they were in a drama, Ms. Maria also showed a kind smile.

The children around also stared wide-eyed, feeling that Sister Xi seems a little different today.

There is always a more lively and cute look than usual.

At this moment, a loud bell sounded from the top of the building, announcing the official entry into the night time.

"Ah, it's time for dinner.

Hearing the bell, Xier took out a wicker basket from the shelf next to it,

Then happily take out various dishes from it and place them on the table.

Chu Mu glanced at it, and from the perspective of nutrition, it seemed that he was not picky.

But... the moment these dishes were put out, the children around fell silent for an instant.

"Sister Xier's cooking..."

The blond girl who brought Chu Mu into the church had a very vivid bitter expression on her face.

"Woo...... Although it is bad to waste food..."

"And this is also the kindness of Sister Xi'er..."

"But.....but...."

Facing the various dishes in front of them, the children struggled for a while.

As if making a sacrifice for some lofty ideal, it finally started.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Chu Mu was just about to reach for a chicken sandwich,

However, a pair of slender and white arms suddenly stretched out and took the whole plate away.

"Mr. Chu Mu can't eat it."

"ah?"

"Can't."

"...789."

The gray-haired girl who usually looks like the girl next door has a courage that cannot be refuted.

"These are made for children, so Mr. Chu Mu can't eat them."

Holding the dishes in both hands, Xi'er, whose cheeks were stained red, left a sentence of explanation and ran out of the restaurant.

"Sister Xi'er's expression just now is completely that of a woman..."

"It must be because I don't want the 'Miracle Hero' to discover his terrible cooking skills..."

After Seele left, the children started whispering immediately.

"It turns out that Sister Xier started making bento, it's all the big brother's fault!"

"The food that was brought to us in the past is obviously the delicious food in the store..."

"Damn it, we are sister Xiwu's experimenters

Facing the pained eyes of the children, Chu Mu silently turned his head in the direction of Ms. Maria.

It's just...the dean who was originally very kind, also whispered.

"Although I am very grateful to Miss Xier, I just... hope her skills can improve.

So the dinner time was spent in a very delicate atmosphere.

"Mr. Chu Mu, Miss Xi'er, leave the rest to me. You two should have your own affairs, right?"

Ms. Maria took over the job of playing with the children very considerately.

"Do you want to walk around?"

Xier took the initiative to send an invitation to Chu Mu, and the latter naturally had no reason to refuse.

The courtyard of the church is very wide, and the land is divided into areas in an orderly manner.

A small vegetable garden can ensure that the orphanage can barely maintain its operation.

Under the dim light, young men and women walk in an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Mr. Chu Mu, do you know...

"What?"

"I also grew up in the ghetto and never met my parents."

Xi'er briskly walked up a few steps, her soft voice blowing along the evening wind.

"That's why Master Freya chose me to be her 'carrier'

Chu Mu's footsteps paused, and then followed.

As the person involved, Quan Chuan naturally knew what happened to him from the very beginning.

However, what happened next... was somewhat beyond Chu Mu's expectations.

"Although after that war game, the lord no longer occupied my five senses and emotions, but... I still have some 'senses' left

The girl turned around, her slender figure looked a little thin under the night.

"You are the god 'Master Fool' who liberated me from Lord Freya, right?"

The clear and ethereal light gray pupils intertwined with Chu Mu's gaze.

After a while, Chu Mu said softly.

"What if I say 'yes,'?"

"Of course not, it's just—"

The next moment, the girl standing on a high place actually jumped, like a moth to a flame.

Chu Mu, who is regarded as a "flame", has quick eyesight and quick hands,

He pulled the girl in mid-air towards him, preventing her from falling on the cold and hard ground.

In the somewhat cold evening wind, the young girl's delicate body exuded scorching body temperature, which was transmitted from Shengruan's whole body.

"It just gave me one more reason to like you, that's all."

After saying this rather blunt statement, Xier slowly opened Chu Mu's chest with her hands and got out of his embrace.

"."That, that, I will work hard to practice my cooking skills, please act as if nothing happened today.

"What's up?"

Seeing the girl showing such a shy and cute appearance, Chu Mu couldn't help teasing.

"Is it the sentence just now, or the faces of the children who can't describe it."

"Of course it's the one in the back...huh?! Are these guys that obvious?!"

"To be honest, you should bring the food from the tavern to visit them in the future, otherwise I will have many more enemies for no reason."

"Woo... Mister Fool, you bully!"

Perhaps it was because of being "possessed" by Freya,

Xier doesn't seem to have much awe of the "God",

After confirming Chu Mu's true identity, he can still get along as usual...

In other words, they became even more intimate.

It may be because there are more "secrets" between the two that only they know.

After making an agreement with Xier that she would not skip work the next day and would go to work in the tavern honestly.

Chu Mu was about to leave the church when he was stopped by two children from the orphanage.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Mu looked at the child in front of him curiously,

One of them was the fair-haired half-elf girl who opened the door for him,

The other was an orc boy with oval ears like a bear.

"Uh...Actually, we have a 'commission' to ask you for help."

As he said that, the bear boy fumbled out a few well-maintained gold coins from his body, and handed them to Chu Mu.

"Here's the pay... Sorry, that's all we have. (Nori's)"

Chu Mu glanced at the gold coins, and there were only three pitiful ones, namely Farley.

Even for a Lv1 adventurer, it is quite a disrespectful commission.

However, Chu Mu still wants to hear the commission from these children...

It can't be a chore like finding a cat, can it?

"What commission, can you tell me the content of the commission first?"

Hearing Chu Mu's question, the little half-elf girl immediately raised her hand and said.

"In a certain area near the church, there will be strange roars from time to time no matter during the day or night...you can still hear rustling movements when you get closer.

"We are worried that it will threaten the church, so can we ask brother 'Miracle Hero' to investigate..."

"That's it, no problem, leave it to me."

Chu Mu nodded and agreed to come down.

He thought it was a wandering beast, or some other phenomenon caused by other factors.

However, the triggered event notification made his expression change slightly.

"Brother 'Miracle Hero', what's wrong... Could there be some terrible monster inside?"

Seeing his expression, the two little "clients" asked half worriedly and half excitedly.

They probably think that they can see the wonderful scene of adventurers fighting monsters.

But Chu Mu has no plan to let them follow him to investigate this matter.

Judging from the prompt information... the problem behind this commission is a bit serious. .
