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

But...?"

"I'm sorry..."

I hear people talking from nearby.

I was awakened by two voices that sounded like they were arguing.

"What's going on..."

"Count-sama!"

The two voices arguing were Mina, the maid, and Lio, the manservant.

'May, it's echoing in my head...'

The two voices apologize in a small voice.

I was made to lie down in the carriage, I must have been asleep for quite a while, and it must have been night when I saw that no light was coming in from outside.

"I am sorry...

"Since the Count hadn't eaten since you went to sleep and didn't seem to wake up when I called out to you, Lio and I were discussing whether we should head back."

I see... Sorry for worrying you."

The two look relieved and reassured, and tell me they will prepare a meal for me.

I'll eat outside too."

I slowly raised myself up and walked out of the carriage.

I felt stiff after lying down for so long, and I also wanted to take a breath of clean air for a change.

"Count!

You have awakened!"

There were a total of three carriages belonging to the Count's family heading for the Duke's territory, and the guards were making a bonfire at a little distance from the carriages.

When they saw me getting out of the carriage, they rushed to me.

"Are you all right now?"

"I was worried about you.'

I could feel that the guards were genuinely worried about me.

It is strange to say it myself, but it seems that I am loved more than I expected.

After a good deal of fuss, they started talking about why I had come outside.

'Are you sure you don't need to rest?'

'Oh, more importantly, I need to eat.'

"Here you go."

Mina, who had been standing behind me for some time, handed me my meal.

The menu is quite lavish for a meal eaten outside, with bread, soup, meat, and vegetables on a plate.

"The Count-sama is going to the Duke's territory from now on, so please eat a lot and build up your strength.'

"I know you're worried about me getting ill, but that's a needless worry."

"You say that, but the former head of the family..."

"You don't have to be so cloudy

The disease doesn't affect those who have a lot of magic power to begin with, and the fact that Father caught it was because he used up too much magic power."

If one's own magic power is higher than the magic power coming in from the outside, there is no problem.

I didn't know that, but I kept applying magic to strengthen the immunity of the patient for treatment, and it was wrong that I had spent a lot of magic power.

When no cure had been developed, the only treatment was to rely on the patient's own healing power, and many doctors used the same method as father to treat the patient, consuming magical power and causing the disease to take over.

""......""

I looked up at the sky silently, causing an awkward atmosphere.

"That's right, you guys, wear one of the magic sealing stones close to your heart. It can prevent the red stone disease.

"But it's not completely safe, so as soon as we confirm that the treatment is effective, we'll leave the Duke's territory, and we won't be here too long."

"Have you greeted the Duke"?

"I have a lot of work to do, so I'll have someone here take the report to him, but I won't meet him myself."

"I understand..."

I know I could be accused of being disrespectful, but I honestly don't want to go to the duke's mansion with even the slightest chance of meeting the hero's descendant.

The duke and duchess have also come up with measures to prevent even a scratch if the duchess makes a complaint against the Count.

"Everyone get some rest.

Mina and Lio can stay too."

After finishing the meal, I leave the campfire and get on the carriage.

The effect is to increase recovery and avoid monsters within a certain range.

The lamp is a magical tool from the Temple of Jealousy, but it was mostly used as a money-making item, like a good-luck charm.

I lay down and looked at the sigil that appeared on my right hand.

"Jealousy..."

This is the biggest concern for me.

The ability of jealousy is something that cannot be taken away in the future. If I encounter a strong enemy and get into a battle, the difference between being able to use the power and not being able to use it could directly affect my chances of winning, or in other words, my death.

The owner of the voice I heard at the waterfall said that I am not worthy of jealousy now.

I have been temporarily recognized and given power, but there is a non-zero chance that I will be suddenly deprived of it if someone who feels more potential for jealousy than I do appears.

"The other deadly sins..."

The owners of the deadly sins, all of which are fulfilled by the time the main story begins.

Arrogance, Greed, Laziness, and Jealousy, at least four of which will no doubt have been fulfilled, but there is a small chance that Wrath, Greed, and Lust will still be there.

If that voice is to be believed, other sins, like jealousy, might be empowered if only they could be liked.

Shall I go and try?"

The closest temple of sin to the first is the Temple of the Gluttony, but there's a problem.

The problem is that this time it is a monster, not a human, who acquires the food, and the monster is one of the secret bosses and is very strong.

"Even if I knew what I was talking about, it wouldn't work..."

Other temples were out of the country, or the location of the other temples was out of reach by normal methods, so I had to abandon the idea of going to the other temples.

I'll just do one evaluation and go to sleep..."

I've been asleep until now, and I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.

I'm not going to say I'm going to pass out, but I'm going to be so tired I'm going to fall asleep.

After two days of traveling and appraising accessories, I arrived at the Duke's estate.
