I was Reincarnated as the Youngest Child of a Villainous Noble Family Who Controls the Kingdom from Behind the Scenes

What Esty presented to me was a doll.

It was a chibi mascot, depicting a black-haired boy wearing the academy's uniform.

Could this doll be a token of gratitude for last night?

"This is Lord Alphiss ! I've decided to start a Alphiss fan club!"

"...Huh?"@@novelbin@@

"Yesterday, when Lord Alphiss saved me, I was drawn to you... but I know I'm not worthy of you."

"Wait, hold on."

Why is she suddenly talking so fast and spouting such nonsense?

If Leticia were here, she might have been able to handle this situation better.

She's more suited for dealing with girls like this, but she's probably at the training grounds right now.

"That's why I decided to support Lord Alphiss . Of course, I'm not doing this half-heartedly. If I'm going to do it, I'll do it seriously."

"Wait, hold on. First of all, what's a fan club?"

"It's a place where people who genuinely admire and want to support  lord Alphiss can gather."

"Calm down. Did you hit your head somewhere yesterday? If you want, I can introduce you to a good healer."

The healers employed by the Balfonte family might be able to do something about this state.

I definitely shouldn't let Miley-nee see this.

Nine years ago, she just forced a kiss on me, but now I have no idea what she might demand.

"Hey! You've been saying whatever you want, but Alphiss-sama  only needs me!"

"Yes! Of course, I could never match up to the wonderful Lushiel -sama,  lord Alphiss 's attendant! We will only support from afar!"

"You understand well. You might have potential, so I might consider making you my subordinate."

This damn angel is way too easy.

So, it seems I'm the only one left to stop Esty's rampage.

First of all, I don't need anyone's support.

I don't need anyone to acknowledge what I'm doing.

Conquering this world is just for my own satisfaction.

Besides, given my role in the academy, standing out too much isn't good.

I should definitely put a stop to this.

I need to steel my heart and convey my intentions.

Wait, hold on.

Didn't she just say "we"?

"Esty, this fan club... it's not already made up of several people, is it?"

"Including me as the president, we already have seven members!"

"That's way too fast! Where did you even find fans of me!?"

"Lord Alphiss is cool, and there are girls who secretly admire you. Look, over there..."

When Esti pointed, a girl at a nearby table quickly looked away.

So, she's one of the members.

Unbelievable. A crazy group like this is forming without my knowledge.

I thought she might be traumatized by yesterday's events, but she's gone off in a completely different direction.

Maybe it's better than her being depressed.

Maybe I shouldn't have saved her after all.

"So, this fan club is just about supporting from afar?"

"Yes, of course. However! Alphiss is not someone a lowly commoner like me should approach. The same goes for the other members."

"What do you mean?"

"Confessing toAlphiss is strictly forbidden! We must remain pure fans!"

"O-oh, I see."

Her intensity made me respond simply.

Well, even if someone confessed, I'd just turn them down.

I'm not here to enjoy romance; it would just get in the way of my goals.

There were voices in the game wanting romance elements, and there was even fanfiction about pairings, but...

But what should I do about this?

It's going to be extremely difficult to stop them now.

I don't mind killing people, but I struggle with situations like this.

In conclusion, if they're not in the way, it's fine, right?

No, they're already in the way, but that's a problem for later.

This damn angel has already fallen, so I'll just leave it be.

"Esty , I'll join the fan club."

"Really!? If the attendant joins, then please do!"

"I'll personally teach you about Alphiss-sama  charm. But it's not something you can understand with half-hearted determination. Are you prepared?"

"Yes!"

It's not a "yes" situation.

What even is my charm that can't be understood with half-hearted determination?

I've been with Loushel for a while now, but this is starting to scare me a little.

"Alright, then first..."

"How noisy."

Lushiel 's words were cut off by Lirisha's arrival.

She placed two hamburger steak meals on the table and looked at us with a mocking expression.

That's right, despite her appearance, she's a big eater.

"I overheard something about a fan club. If you're so caught up in that, how are your studies going?"

"W-well, I'm doing my best."

"Do you think commoners can get by just by 'doing their best'? That's why you commoners will always remain commoners."

Esty fell silent.

Even after I made her cry, she hasn't learned her lesson.

"A fan club for someone like him? It's probably nothing good. If the student council deems it inappropriate, we'll shut it down immediately."

"Hey, hey, you're in a pretty bad mood today. Is the student council work not going well?"

"That's none of your business, Alphys."

"About the magical tool explosion incident, were you that upset that the student council couldn't control those guys beforehand?"

At my words, Lirisha stopped moving her knife and fork.

"What, are you picking a fight?"

"You came here out of nowhere and started talking trash, so of course I'm curious. If you don't like it, move to another seat."

"There are no other seats available, so I had no choice but to sit here. Don't get the wrong idea."

"That area over there is pretty empty, though."

Caught in her lie,Lilysha glared at me.

Ever since she lost to me, she's probably been bothered by it.

That's why she came over when she heard the word "fan club."

"Anyway, if it's a stupid fan club, I'll shut it down immediately!"

"Don't tell me that."

"And don't get too full of yourself just because you won once! I only lost last time because I thought 'this much is enough'! Next time, I won't hold back!"

"Yeah, yeah."

If we're going there, Leticia also lost after gaining an advantage.

While complaining,Lilysha quickly finished her two hamburger steak meals.

When it comes to appetite, you win.
