I'II Become A Villain In My Next Life
Chapter 21: The House of Nobles
[Screa Port City]
In the middle of the afternoon in this particular city a group of four people were now talking to each other
Lilith was a close friend of Rebecca and a noble for that matter and to ensure a strong relationship with Kaido's noble roots made herself as polite as possible to be close to such a noble.
"It looks like you are my chosen one that Rebecca is worth to travel with" Lilith said
"It seems so" Kaido replied
"I see you learned good manners! I am proud of my friend in choosing such an amazing friend" Lilith said as she looked back at Rebecca
Noticing her gaze, Rebecca straightened up and smiled wryly as she replied
"really? Eheheheh! I would never think of that! But thank you for the compliment" Rebecca said in a strange awkward manner.
After that Lilith suddenly jumped up a little as if she remembered something
"Oh right! Since you're here, I think it's better that I give you Rebecca's belongings" Lilith said
Hearing her Rebecca became confused
"Huh? Why are you giving me your stuff? These things are precious to you! So why?" She asked
Seeing her confusion, Lilith sighed to the side and revealed her reason
"The problem is ..... I'm getting married!"
..........
"Well!"
"Huh!!!!!!!!"
Hearing her answer not only Rebecca but also Kaido shouted in confusion
"Do you want to hear the whole story?" Ask Lilith
Seeing the opportunity to find out the reason Rebecca urged Lilith to reveal it
"Yeah! I want to hear your reason" Rebecca said in a panic
"Then follow me back to my house and I'll tell you" Lilith said
With no choice the group followed Lilith back to her residence
[Lilith Family]
When they reached the manor, they were guided to the discussion room while waiting for Lilith to enter
As time went by Kaido began to look around the walls and paintings in the manor and nodded slightly as if understanding the meaning of the art.
Lilith entered the room with her father Reinbach

When her father sat down and performed Lilith Kaido back to his seat
"ah! Yes uncle after all I choose to be a free adventurer rather than a controlled noble who even in marriage needs to be arranged by his parents .... It seems like I don't have the freedom to choose who I want to marry" Rebecca said
This time Kaido glanced at Rebecca as if some of the questions still lingering in his mind had been answered, whereas Melfina simply silently closed her eyes and listened attentively.
"I saw the matchmaking .... No wonder you left your home! But that's not the reason why you should leave! Now your family is looking for you!" Reinbach
"It's been three months now and they're still looking for me?" Ask Rebecca
"It seems, '" Reinbach replied
After a while, Rebecca replied
"When the time comes I have to face them then I will face them but for now we are here for the reason why my best friend Lilith is married! By the way, who is this guy?" Said Rebecca
After pondering for a moment, Reinbach replied
"Marcus, the son of an earl, who runs an opponent's business"
"What?" Ask Rebecca
"Our family business is falling apart Rebecca! We don't know how or when but when a sign of relief hit us, we suddenly descended just like that as if it was being used by some kind of voodoo" Lilith continued
"That's impossible! Uncle! Your business is like an old-fashioned business with history! Why can it be destroyed by a business that has just grown out of the best?" Ask Rebecca to find the answer
"We don't know for ourselves! It's been a month now but we've been downhill by then and if this continues we won't have anything! Even my wife is sick from overwork trying to turn things around" Reinbach said
"Even aunts who are good at business?" Rebecca asked as if she could not believe what she heard
"Yes! And so. The family suggested that in order to save my father's business, they should allow me to marry into their family and thus lift the burden from my family" Lilith said sadly.
"We can't do anything! Dear Rebecca ... We have no choice! And plus I don't want my family to wither in trouble" Reinbach said
"No way" Rebecca muttered
This time Kaido realizes that not all nobles are a bunch of bastards
"Um, if I may! But are you having trouble in business because of this so-called Earl's family and now demanding your daughter's hand to solve the problem?" Ask Kaido
"Uhhhh! Yes that's the situation! Sorry to drag your time like this" Reinbach said apologetically
Seeing this Kaido was startled at the same time jolted in his mind stating that such a family was comforting him and therefore the case he could not let this noble family refuse.
"I think that's big bullshit!" Kaido
All of them looked at him and asked
"Bull ... What's?"
"I think there's a bigger conspiracy here, you just need to put it together" he said
"Because I like your household, I think I will help you" Kaido said
Hearing this, Rebecca and Melfina looked at him in surprise
"Kaido-sama what are you saying?" Melfina reacts
"Hehe!"
"I'm going to show you how I can turn this situation around and destroy a business that goes against the mind where that damn scientist is playing around"
Hearing those strange words they started to get confused
"Scientists? What'sthat?" They ask
"Do you have a way?" Ask Lilith
"Well look at what that damn scientist put into my brain it can do" Kaido said
"Why? What's in your brain?" Ask Melfina
"Super organic fucking computer"
