Reborn As Villain's
Chapter 27: The Past of Oscar part 1.

Irene instantly stood still and her brain became completely empty. It took him a few seconds to digest what Dylan had just asked.

"As.... Where's.... You could tell?".

With a flat tone and a still shocked expression, Irene asked Dylan the way she found out that Oscar was her older brother.

"Take this as just my "instinct.... Because ever since we met this afternoon, you haven't let go of your hateful gaze on me.... Although Sylvia was unconscious..... Actually, you heard all our conversations, right?....... So, I'm guessing you must have some kind of bond with Oscar".

"Heeeeee...... Your instincts can too...... Just so you know, I'm not his real sister".

"I know, either way you two don't look alike at all".

Irene was silent for a moment, then she started telling me about herself and Oscar.

"My meeting with Oscar Nii-san happened a few years ago.... When I was 10 years old..... Nii-san was the one who had helped me when I fell down the Capital---".

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

Irene knew nothing about her parents. Then once aware of the surrounding conditions, little Irene lived by scavenging for garbage to survive on the outskirts of the Capital.

The capital of the Kingdom of Rachael, from above looks very beautiful city. But on the other hand, the city is so shabby and dirty that people will question whether it is the same city or not.

And Irene was the child born and raised in that suburban town, "on the other side.

On the edge of the city were all sorts of people. Like a man who comes there from the "surface" for failing and falls for a reason.

People who get injured in a section and can't work because of it. Then people like Irene, who either dumped their parents or whatever. And so aware of having settled in that city.

Everyone who gathers and lives there. Not showing light in their eyes.

For kids the same age as Irene back then, the suburban city felt like hell. If they want to get food, they have to take it from others.

And just because they were angry, the adults killed them. If their appearance was attractive, the children would be kidnapped and sold as slaves.

One day, Irene is almost kidnapped by someone. He tried desperately to escape from them, but.

Because at that time he had difficulty surviving in a harsh environment and starving. Irene was out of energy.

By then, little Irene was ready to accept her death. Because in a suburban town nobody wants to help anyone else.

That's what he thinks. And that's when Oscar came in front of him.

"Woi, kid.... If you're alive, lift your head".

Irene, who was unable to think clearly anymore, immediately attacked Oscar with the knife she had. But, Oscar immediately responded quickly and slammed Irene onto the ground and held her hand.

"That's a good eye.... I'm very interested".

Irene who was moaning in pain was immediately released by Oscar who also praised Irene's bravery.

"If you want to live in this place, at least that's the spirit you have to have..... Because just to live alone here is already very difficult...... You still have a chance to live".

Oscar picked up an apple from the bag of food he was carrying and threw it at Irene.

"It's for you".

Irene who received the apple was immediately shocked. Because back then, for the first time as long as he lived in a suburban town. He was touched by something called "goodness".

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

"For me who hates the capital, the suburbs mean nothing to me..... And anyway, because I don't have a place to live.... I decided to go with Oscar Nii-san".

"Stop that..... Maybe he just wanted to see the suburban city.... And that's a great place, if you want to know the state of Rachael's Kingdom".

"Heeee...... But, that surprised me enough.... Because I don't think Oscar's the one who's gonna go somewhere with somebody else".

"Everyone must think that way... It's just..... Oscar Nii-san has his own thoughts".

"His own thinking?.... Then what happens after you leave the suburbs?".

Dylan who was curious about the continuation of the story asked Irene.

"After that, we moved from one city to another in the Kingdom.... And to ascertain the true state of the Kingdom of Rachael".

Irene's memory goes back to when Irene and Oscar lived in a small wooden cabin. At that time, both of them were enjoying their very simple lunch.

The atmosphere was very calm, until Oscar finally started the conversation.

"The present kingdom, just shows the front and forgets the back.... If that is the case, then I will rule this Kingdom and wipe out both sides".

Irene who was eating immediately stopped and turned her gaze to Oscar who suddenly spoke of his desire to rule over Rachael Kingdom.

"But..... If Nii-san wants to become King, it will take a long time..... Although, I know that Nii-san is very strong".

"uh? Whatchu mean?".

"Look..... First, Nii-san must be a knight... Second, Nii-san should be able to become a part of the Holy Knights and become the strongest... Lastly, Nii-san must gain the support and trust of The Oracle's".

Irene lays out the stages that must be passed by Oscar if his dream of becoming King is realized.

"I know that.... Hence, the weak cannot continue to be weak..... And I hate people who just watch and suck their thumbs without doing anything..... Supposedly, people who survive in the suburbs like you understand, right?....... If the present King is chosen by the Oracle's it's a lousy man....... So someone else has to replace him..... Why do you think people are born in a rotten place like a suburb?..... Why can't they all work together?".

"Ethto....".

Oscar's question left Irene puzzled because she didn't know what to answer. However, Oscar immediately gave an answer to his question.

"That's because they have no enemies.... Which they consider equal".

"Enemy equal...?".

Instead, get an understanding of Oscar's answer. Irene was more confused, but Oscar ignored her and continued.

"And if I become King.... The first thing I will do is..... Destroying the Kingdom of Ingrid".

Irene became very panicked when she found out what Oscar wanted. And immediately he tried to stop his steps.

"But not everyone wants to fight this war".

"I know".

Oscar then stood up from his seat walking over and holding onto Irene's shoulder. With a dark expression he spoke again.

"Because the war is not just about "violence..... People who want to take care of the fields can take care of the fields.... People who want to learn can learn as they want... Because "Everyone's battlefield is different" ".

Irene was silent with the words Oscar. After all, Oscar himself immediately stepped out. But, before leaving he had a chance to say a few things to Irene.

"Moreover, in this Kingdom there is no place worth learning for people like us.... Yare, yare like her I have to build a school for abandoned and underprivileged children, then there are still many things I have to do".

Oscar immediately stepped away leaving Irene who could only stare at her brother's back from behind.
