Reborn As Villain's
Chapter 3: BMF Agricultural Methods.

2 Weeks have passed since Dylan turned down the engagement to Princess Vanessa.

Dylan's parents had already discussed this to His Majesty, and both sides agreed that their engagement was too hasty.

Hearing the news from his parents, of course, in his mind he was so happy that he wanted to scream with excitement. Even though his face remained expressionless.

With this Death Flag and the Treachery he would experience in the future he had managed to avoid, now he was preparing to overcome the next Death Flag.

In Dylan's private room.

Currently Dylan was conducting some kind of experimentation with the plants he had grown in his room. Then someone knocked on the door of his room.

"Excuse me, is Mister inside? Can I come in?".

"Hou.. Step inside".

After getting permission, the maid opened the door and went inside. The maid who entered was a brown-haired young man. He had a very handsome face and exuded an aura like an elder brother.

"Good morning, sir".

"Good morning too, Joe-san".

The young man who entered Dylan's room was Joehart Isenhart. He was the butler employed at the Arcadia Mansion.

"Ethto... Sorry, Mr. Dylan.... What the hell are you doing? And why are there so many pots filled with plants in your room?".

"Oh, this?........ I'm doing some kind of simple experiment on some kind of plant".

"Experiments? What's for?".

"Well, yeah,.... You know, right?......... In recent years our territory, often hit by storms and several times failed crops!?....... As a result, the impact on the rising prices of staple goods and animal feed!?........ To be able to meet food stamps in our region!?...... Inevitably we have to import from other regions!?......... And of course taxes will also go up!? ....... So....... I thought I should do something so that, taxes and basic materials can return to normal!?....... That's why I'm looking for a solution now".

"That's it, I get it".

Dylan explained what his experiment meant to Joehart. And he watched her carefully.

"....... Then, Joe-san!?....... What business does it do to come to my room!?........ Must something be important?".

"Oh, no!? It's just I'm worried, why don't you go out of the room".

"Hou.. ".

"And also coincidentally, today I am on holiday".

"........Holiday, huh?".

Dylan thought for a moment after hearing the reason Joehart was here right now. Then he who was writing something while crouching suddenly stopped and stood up and walked like he was about to take something.

"......Because you're on holiday!?......Then, help me out".

Finding what he was looking for, Dylan immediately gave it to Joehart. And Joehart who received it looked astonished.

"..... Sir, this is purple yam, right? Why are you giving this to me?".

"........ Calm down,........ Purple yam results from experiments,....... Eat up!!".

"Huh?".

Joehart became astonished because all of a sudden, he was ordered to eat the Purple Yams.

"........ Don't worry, I've cleared it from the ground and the sap".

Although Dylan said it had been cleaned up, Joehart hesitated to eat it as evidenced by him looking at Dylan several times with his flat face.

And by force, Joehart bit and ate the Purple Yams. Then his facial expression turned happy after a few bites and felt the yam.

"Master, Dylan. This purple yam is very sweet".

"........Thank goodness....then".

Hearing what Joehart said, Dylan smiled faintly and began to think with his right hand holding his chin.

(Good, who would have thought everything would fit the tutorial in the original game!? Hehe.... This way I can now be 2 steps early to avoid my Death Flag.... Hmmmmm.... But, it would be a problem if I managed it myself..... I need someone I can trust..... To help me in his management and planning........Yosh, then.).

After thinking for a moment Dylan knew what he should do. Then he came back to see Joehart who was now greedily eating the Purple Yams he had given.

"Joe-san's been... ".

Dylan carried a box containing several plants, such as Purple Yams, Potatoes, Tomatoes, Lettuce, and other vegetables.

".... Can you come with me to the kitchen now".

"uh? To kitchen? What's for?"

".....I need you and some cooks in the kitchen to help me with taste testing tests to see if this experimental vegetable tastes the same as a typical vegetable... And if someone asks me where I got all these vegetables, we just say "secret"".

"All right, then what should I do?".

"......You and the Chefs will be his examiners!?...... While I'll cook it".

In an instant Joehart's eyes suddenly silently stared at the reason because he was surprised to hear that Dylan was the one who was going to cook and he and the Chefs were told to be his testers.

"Master,..... You're the.... Going cooking?".

"Huh?...... Of course!?.... Why why?".

"No..... It's just.... Since when.... Can you cook?".

Dylan was silent for a moment trying to find a reasonable excuse.

"...... About it..... That's also a secret".

Dylan decided to answer everything as a "secret". Because there was no way he could say that it was knowledge from his previous life.

In addition to being a college boy and being a Kendo athlete, he also works side by side as a part-time chef at a 5-star restaurant.

Once in the Kitchen, Joehart asked the head chef for permission to let Dylan cook the vegetables they were carrying and asked them to be taste-testing.

Getting permission even though the head chef and all his staff were worried. Dylan immediately processed the vegetables he brought into various types of cooking.

During Dylan's cooking, the Chefs and Joehart continued to look and pay close attention. There were even some Maids who put out some kind of small notebook to record every process and way Dylan processed food.

After a while, Dylan's cooking was finally finished. And he told them to taste his cooking.

When they ate Dylan's food, they suddenly cried. Not because the food was bad, but because it was the opposite.

Precisely their master Dylan's cooking was incredibly delicious. They did not expect that their master could make this delicious dish.

Seeing the Chefs, Maid and Joehart eating his cooking voraciously made Dylan smile, after which he began to ask them to explain what they were feeling.

Getting the answer he wanted, Dylan was increasingly convinced that this would be his way of avoiding one of the other Death Flags.

(----------)

Next Morning.

In the family room of the Arcadia Mansion gathered some people who were already sitting at the table.

The first is the current Head of the Arcadia family Hyoga van Arcadia.

The second was Arcadia family treasurer Lucas Brinlight.

Dylan van Arcadia, the only son of Hyoga van Arcadia, is the heir to the Arcadia family.

At the moment each of them is reading a shared document.

Documents about income and expenses made by the Arcadia family.

Starting from community taxes, salaries of each worker's staff, spending costs, and soldier salaries.

"......Lucas-san, this is the spending and income document this month that you compiled yourself, right?...... Is there a mistake?".

Dylan asked Lucas always the treasurer of the Arcadia family.

"Yes, no mistake at all".

Lucas answered Dylan's question firmly.

"Lucas, reported it to me yesterday!? Continues to? Why are you asking again, Dylan!? Is something wrong?".

"... About it not there, dad? I just want to make sure that this record is true!?.... And also I have another reason why I asked Father and Lucas-san to gather here".

"asked? What's for?".

Dylan then lowered his head and returned to speaking.

"I ask permission for you to lend me your power".

"Wait for Dylan, what do you mean?".

The father was astonished by his son's very strange attitude. Aware of his father and Lucas Dylan's astonishment soon makes his point.

"Let me explain!?...... As we know, in recent years the Arcadia region has always been hit by storms and also failed harvests that affect the economic sector in this region!?.... To deal with that I finally found a solution!?...... But, I can't do it alone!?........ So, I need permission as well as help from both Father and Lucas-san in this matter!?..... And to be sure, I will show you the solution!?.... Joe-san, please share "it" with them".

"Ready!!!".

Joehart gave him a basket containing some Purple Yams.

"This Dylan, right? Purple Yams?".

"Where did you get it from".

"......Where do I get it, I'll explain!? Anyway neither Dad nor Lucas-san tried it"

Without a second thought, the two people immediately took and ate the Purple Yams.

"Sugary".

"Hmmm.... Right sir, this yam is so sweet".

Seeing the reaction of his father and Lucas who were impressed with the taste of the Ubis. Dylan explained immediately.

"Dad, Lucas-san.... The yam is the result of a new farming system that I am now researching and developing".

"New agricultural system?.... Can you explain it to us, Dylan".

"..... Is that my goal!?.... All right, without further ado.... Answer is.... This is".

Dylan showed me a glass bottle filled with a dark blue liquid.

"What'sthat?".

"..... This is the key to the new farming system I'm talking about.... This dark blue liquid I gave it a name..... Blue Mist Essen's".

"What is a kind of fertilizer? Mr. Dylan".

"...... You could say, yes!?..... And I named this farming method BMF, short for Bule Mist Farm".

"Where did you get it, Dylan?".

"As his name is Father, Lucas-san!?...... This Essen I extract from a wild plant called Blue Mist that thrives in our region almost every season!?..... Blue Mist has a very good nutritional content and has a very high PH...... So that it can help the process of accelerating plant growth..... Trim the time required..... At the same time it can function as an anti-pest substance,.... Because of its unwelcome aroma..... Just use it once..... By mixing it into water..... As proof... The Purple Yams that Dad and Lucas just ate, they,.... Can be harvested in just 3 days.... Starting from the beginning of planting seedlings".

"WHAT? 3 DAYS!!!".

"With normal growing methods, it takes about 2 months to harvest".

Both his father and Lucas were surprised to not play after hearing Dylan's explanation.

"..... Don't be surprised..... That's exactly one factor.... Of some existing constraints".

"Multiple obstacles?".

They regained their composure when Dylan told him there was a kendal to the farming process he had found.

"Yes.... First, each nutrient that each plant needs is different.... So it is very difficult to ascertain the dosage for each plant..... Second, because of the rapid growth process, so we can not do it on a large scale...... Third, the harvest that has good quality will be very difficult to market... The lord of another region would be suspicious of Arcadia..... If we have a good harvest and a cheap selling price..... And that will lead to very real economic deviations between regions....And the last one.....".

"Lord feudal lords from other regions will hate us even more. And there's a chance your life will be threatened. That's what you wanted to say, right? Dylan".

Hyoga cut off his son's speech. And Dylan who heard that nodded his head.

"Okay, we all understand!?.... So, what can we help you with? mr. Dylan".

The enthusiastic Lucas immediately asked Dylan what he could do. Then Dylan began to reveal his true purpose.

".... First, I want to practice this BMF method on real land..... That's why I need Lucas-san to design from the start the necessary cost arrangement, the land we can use, and the farmers who want to try this BMF method..... And of course we will also prepare compensation costs, if this BMF method fails.... If successful, we must also keep the harvest and marketing as small and controlled as possible so as not to arouse suspicion from other regions..... Can you, Lucas-san?".

"Hm... If this can help restore the economic growth of the Arcadia region.... Of course I want to".

Lucas smiled and answered Dylan with confidence and firmness.

"Thank you Lucas-san.... If you have any problems or ideas, let me know immediately, without hesitation".

"Send me".

"... And for Dad, I..... "

"You want to use your father's name as the shield and inventor of this BMF method, right?".

Dylan nodded his head at his father's conclusion.

"It is the duty of a father to protect his child!? .... Dylan, use my name as much as you want".

"Thank you, Father and Lucas-san for your help.... However, I'm adamant this is only temporary, not permanent".

As a result, they agreed to use the BMF method that Dylan discovered.

(---------)

A few weeks later, the BMF method project began.

And the results are amazing.

In a short time the Arcadia region managed to restore their economy and with very close supervision, other regions did not suspect at all with the drastic changes Arcadia.

Then, the night at the Arcadia Mansion.

Dylan was standing on the balcony reading the results of the BMF method report he received from Lucas.

He smiled at the results of the report stating everything was going well.

Then she stared at the beautiful night sky illuminated by the beautiful moonlight and the gentle night breeze.

(Yosh.... By restoring the economic stability of the Arcadia region, I was able to avoid the 2nd Death Flag..... Well, now how to avoid the remaining 3 Death Flags).

"Dylan!!! Are you on the balcony, son?".

As Dylan was thinking what next step was to avoid his Death Flag, a female voice called out to him from behind.

"Ah, yes ma'am!? I'm right here".

Dylan answered the call while turning to the source of the voice which turned out to be the voice of his mother Pavline van Arcadia with a small child.

From her appearance she has a body shape like a girl. However, Dylan could not see it as it was covered by the darkness of the room.

"Dylan, today our family has a new member!? Come on, kid, please introduce yourself".

"Hou..... ".

Although from the outside looks very calm and flat Dylan expression, but inside his head is the opposite.

(Heh?..... New member?..... Just a moment, a moment.... Don't tell me that.).

Dylan was surprised not because he already knew who the members were in question. But, he was surprised because the speed of the Death Flag that was next fluttered.

The little girl immediately came forward after being told to introduce herself. When his body began to be seen clearly when illuminated by the moonlight.

The little girl had a pretty face, with long straight red hair and golden yellow eyes. He showed an innocent and awkward expression.

"Greetings,...... My name is Fi-Filaret van Pi-pillos. Mu-began today I.... A-will be part..... This family.... Mo-please help.... Mrs Dy-dylan"

With trembling bodies and stammering sentences. The little girl introduced herself as Filaret van Pillos who would later change her last name to Filaret van Arcadia.

One of the 15 female characters who will fall in love with Reiner fou Stanley, as well as half-sister Dylan van Arcadia.

(Yeah.... Gini amet my fate.... Just breathed a sigh of relief... Eh, another Death Flag appeared instead).

Dylan could only complain in his mind.
