What if the villainous aristocrat who is the middle boss remembers his previous life and gains knowledge of the game – I will never accept a future in

"Master Khalil, Master Khalil.

We have arrived at the Count's estate".

'Ah, all right.'

The shocking realization of the salary came to me, and after eating dinner, I fell asleep like I was going to faint.

I don't know if it was my body's defensive reaction or if I fell asleep at night and never woke up, but I finally woke up when Mina shook me on the shoulder.

'Is Bosco here?"

"Yes, he is giving instructions to the guards."

I had to put Bosco through a lot of hardships, such as my sudden announcement that I was going to the duke's territory and my sister's training in managing the territory.

"Bosco."

"Welcome back, Khalil-sama, I am glad you are safe."

"Can we talk a little now about the result of my visit to the Duke's territory and what to expect in the future?"

"Yes, of course.

"But what about Maria?'

Maria?

Is she angry about the fact that I suddenly made her deputy Count without her consultation, so much so that Bosco went to the trouble of telling me about it, and I should face her first?

"Shall we go see her first?"

"I think that would be best."

"Then Bosco can come to me as soon this business is finished".

I approach Bosco and tell him in a low voice, keeping an eye on the surroundings just to be sure.

The parent and child riding in the carriage with the curtain closed will be taken into custody to prevent any information leaking outside, and will be taken care of in my mansion for the time being."

"Is it trouble, Master?"

"Yes, so please be very careful until I take care of it.

Tell no one outside, not even those you trust."

"Yes, Master".

After telling him the last thing he needed to know, I entered the mansion with Mina.

"Welcome back, Count"

"Thank you for welcoming me, and please call me Khalil, not Count."

"Yes, Master Khalil."

I feel very comfortable with the gaze that has no malice in it.

I wondered if this was normal, but then I remembered the salary and felt too guilty to be honestly happy.

'Well, I heard that Maria is shut up in her room. ......"

The servants told me that she's been locked up in her room, working on the documents for the management of the territory.

All I have to do, for now, is apologize.

Knock-knock.

"Shhh, work?!"

At the same time as the knocking, I heard a tragic voice that sounded like a scream.

'It's me."

'Wow! Screw you-！！！！."

The door was opened vigorously at the moment I shouted, and a kick that felt no restraint at all was fired toward my shin.

"Aaaaah?

Ouch!"

The kick was judged as an attack by the ring and defense was activated.

It must have felt as much pain as if I had kicked a wall with all my might.

"............"

"It hurts."

How can I say this, I'm really sorry.

I was willing to accept a slap or so, and to be honest, I had completely forgotten that I was wearing a magical tool to block assassination attempts.

""Gghhhh ......

Where's my souvenir?!"

I began to act strong, trying my best to endure the pain, but my teary eyes were still there.

Let's not dare to touch it.

"Oh, I'll give you this."

"A hair clip?"

I had forgotten about the souvenir until just now.

It would be easy to tell her that I had forgotten about it, but it would surely be troublesome if I did.

In such a situation, I quickly took out an accessories that had dropped in the temple of jealousy, after all.

The only effect is to change the hair color at will, and there is no element that can be used in battle.

"M~~~......"

She looked somewhat dissatisfied.

"I don't know the details of how to use it, either.

You can change your hair color at will. I don't know exactly how to use it, but if you remove it, it will return to its original color, so you can try it by trial and error."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it looks like you can do it if you put magic into it."

The hair color began to change randomly.

The original black, then red, then blue, then green, and so on and so forth, blinking and blinking.

"It's hard!"

"Well, hang in there."

I forgive my brother for suddenly forcing me to be the acting head of the family because the gift was so wonderful."

"I'm sorry about that."

Maria, now in a much better mood, walked off somewhere with her hair flashing.

She walked away, her hair flashing.

"No. I'm going to the study as soon as possible to sort out the financial situation of the count's family. I have something to tell you Mina, and I know you are tired, but please be patient a little longer."

I open the slightly more luxurious door to the mansion and enter.

This is the study, a place I only use in the mornings and evenings when Bosco reports to me, since I basically spend my time in the lab.

Now, the account book is ......."

I'll take a quick look through it until Bosco arrives.

If I know even a little bit about it, the discussion will go smoothly.

"......"

The steady income in the Count's family is about two large gold coins and ten gold coins per month.

One large gold coin and 50 gold coins are used to support the dukedom as a fixed monthly expenditure, and only 60 gold coins can be spent on the count's estate.

From there, the servants' salaries and the maintenance costs of the count's security forces, etc., will almost eliminate the monthly funds, and from there, funds will be needed to procure foodstuffs for the residence, replenish tools and damaged equipment, check on pioneer villages, and for other purposes.

The amount needed for procurement of research materials is covered by the research funds received from the government.

However, due to the lack of success of the research, the number of funds is decreasing year by year.

"Woah. ......."

Let's say this account book belongs to a completely unrelated house and I am asked for my opinion.

No matter how mildly I put it, all I can say is that it's over and done with.

"This part of the book will be cut next month.

I may get some complaint from the Duke, but I'll cut it right away."

I talk to myself with my head in my hands, not even having time to worry about Mina staying in the room.
