Chapter 41 The Villainous Heir’s Invasion Scheme Begins The Dragon Country Expedition
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
(The Day Before the Journey to the Albion Empire, in the Mirror World)
”Huh?! They want me to travel by airship from the Scarlet Territory as a vanguard? Just a long sky trip?” I squawked in surprise.
”Yeah. When I got back from the Black Market, Alexia just told me that! What should I do?” I chuckled, leaning into my usual carefree tone.
”‘What should I do?’ is not the question! Why didn’t you refuse? …No, wait, if you refused, the Senate would get suspicious. Blast! The Albion Empire has completely managed to seize the initiative, haven’t they?”
”Hmm, well, I can handle it if I go. Red-kun is getting pretty close to his limit soon, too. We can’t really afford to fool around anymore. I gotta get serious about conquering the Albion Empire.”
”Conquer the Albion Empire?! You utter fool! The Albion Empire is one of the Great Powers in the Alysphia (World)! What are you even thinking?!” the other person demanded, genuinely shocked.
”Hmm? It’s just a place I need to secure to heal My favorite girl (ko), Alexia, and My friend, Red-kun. The healing is the real mission. The Lindworm territory? I’ll just take it as payment. I’ll give it back once things are back to normal, promise.” I explained with a sly grin.
”…What are you, exactly? Did you see right through the fact that we’re using you to plot something?” he murmured, his voice laced with suspicion.
”Well, I knew a certain amount about you guys from the Ero Otome Game, you know.”
”An Ero Otome Game? What the heck is that?” he bellowed.
”It’s the world where I (Shin Seyfried) couldn’t escape my fate of dying…” I sighed dramatically.

The Dragon Country, the Albion Empire, holds a massive territory in the northeastern zone of the Alysphia (World).
To the north is the nation ruled by the Ice Princess.
To the east is the vast Seyryu Sea, where you can see the distant Edo lands. That’s where the world’s largest port city (Eichi) is located.
The south is a deceptive alliance with the Lax Empire; they work together, constantly disrupting the order of the Alysphia (World).
The northwest and west are war zones. The nation is in constant conflict with the vast, fertile Demon Realm known as ‘Shubelt’ and has been fighting the Regain Kingdom for years.
For ages, the Albion Empire has been obsessed with expanding its territory into the northwest. Why? Well… that’s a secret for now.
After all, that story is tied to the very foundation of the Alysphia (World).

(Near the border of the Regain Kingdom and the Albion Empire)
ROOAAAR!!
”Currently, the Skryd dragons flight is traveling along the border between the Seyfried Territory and the Lindworm Territory. Though the two nations have been at odds for years, thanks to the official ceasefire and cooperation between Chairman Luva and the Regain King…blah blah blah…”
This airship ‘monitor’ guide is trying his best to explain the history of the two nations, but honestly, I’m zero percent interested.
”…Simultaneous Teleportation (Twins).” I whispered the incantation.
”Shin-sama… We’ve entered the Albion Empire’s (enemy territory) borders. What do you intend to do now? We’ve only managed to send a few followers of the Shin-kyō (Religion of Shin), so we can’t do much in terms of missionary activity… Huh? Oh dear, Shin-sama isn’t here? Did he go to the toilet?” Lala inquired, sounding bewildered.
* * *
(Near the Regain Kingdom border, Seyfried Territory)
I used Teleportation to escape that boring monitoring. To fool their eyes, I dressed up Chucky-kun, the ‘Painter’s Key Guardian’—who I completely reprogrammed—in the Sacred Artifact (general term for powerful items), the ‘Evil Dragon Blade Play ”Red Rose Garment,” and left him there.
(Meanwhile, inside the airship’s toilet)
”I’m Chucky, I’ve cleaned my heart and reformed, I’m Chucky, my spirit was crushed and I reformed, I’m Chucky, I can’t use rough words anymore, I’m Chucky, I absolutely don’t want to and can’t do bad things anymore~♪…” Chucky sang in a creepy, repetitive voice.
”Shin-sama~! Are you feeling alright?!” a follower called out.
”The Founder’s soul seems broken, Lala-sama,” another observed with genuine worry.
* * *
”It’s supposed to take about three more days for that ‘Skryd dragons flight’ to reach the Imperial Capital. We’ve got time. How about we just claim the Lindworm Territory in the meantime, Luna-kun?” I suggested, my voice dripping with casual malice.
(Nyaa, I thought my Master was just sending me on information-gathering trips all over the place, but now he’s talking about traveling to the Albion Empire! My Master is a true villainous brute, nyaa.) Luna-kun muttered, sounding utterly exhausted.
”What’s that? Are you excited?” I cooed teasingly.
(Not at all, nyaa! I’m so exhausted, I feel like the fur on my bottom is about to fall out, nyaa!) he whined in response.
”Sorry, sorry. I’ll make it up to you. Once this is over, I’ll take you to the Lax Empire with me to find you a mate, Luna-kun. Can you forgive me then?”
(Nyaa?! The Lax Empire… that’s where all the beautiful cat girls live, nyaa? Master!) Luna perked up, his voice suddenly full of hope.
”That’s right, that’s right. It’s a happy world for the cat species, Luna-kun… Huh? Wait a minute. This presence… is this him?” I interrupted myself, suddenly focused.
(What is it, nyaa? Master. Is it the toilet, nyaa?) Luna asked, returning to his prior worry.
”…No, not the toilet. Personal Teleportation (Solo).” I declared simply.
(Lindworm Territory, Mazela District)
”Shahaaaa!! Die, you monsters! Rhinos-sama, the Dragon Knight Candidate, has returned! Rejoice!!” The arrogant knight roared, his blade flashing.
”Guwaaah?!” “Gyaaa!” The sounds of pain ripped through the air.
”GōbuGōbu?!” a deeper voice cried out.
”Impressive, Rhinos-san. He shows no mercy, even against Orcs and Trolls,” a soldier mused.
”He’s the new generation Dragon Knight, of course he is! But hey, why are those monsters wearing such expensive-looking armor?” the first soldier wondered.
”Huh? You don’t know? Those guys are under the Demon King of the Northwest. Apparently, they’ve been teaming up with Seyfried for the last few years, constantly disrupting the advance on the Regain Kingdom.”
”What?! Those traitors! So they’re just fickle dogs?… Then there’s no problem in killing them…” he hissed.
”Simultaneous Teleportation (Twins). Hmm~? I know! The female Orc settlement!” I decided with a cheerful snap of my fingers.
”Huh?…” “Kids?…” The two Albion Empire soldiers exchanged confused glances as the spell took hold.
I just teleported those two soldiers to the female Orcs’ paradise, a place where they never stop searching for men. They’re probably dying in a reverse-harem situation right now.
* * *
(Scarlet Territory, Female Orcs’ Paradise)
”Oh my, look! Fresh bait (men) has arrived! Let’s eat them up deliciously! Like real boys!” the first female Orc gushed.
”Oh, my! We’re not letting you sleep tonight, my darlins’!” the second Orc purred.
”We’ll suck all the vitality out of every part of you until you’re shriveled!” the third growled with lust.
”It’s a night-long battle, two against hundreds! Prepare yourselves!” they all leered excitedly.
”Wh-what are you?! S-stop it! Don’t come any closerrr!!” one soldier screamed.
”Stop it… Please stop it! You monstersss!!” the other pleaded.
SNAP
* * *
”And! I have to dramatically appear when My best buddy is in a tight spot, don’t I? Dark Magic: Shadow Stitch!” I shouted to myself.
”Dieee!! You damn GōbuLin!!” Rhinos bellowed.
”Gōbu Captain! Please escape!” one goblin shrieked.
”Don’t worry about us!” another cried.
”G-Gōbuuu!!” the captain managed to grunt in distress.
”Personal Teleportation (Solo)…since you’re being a pain, you can go to the female Orc village too.” I mumbled and snapped my fingers.
”Shaha ha ha ha!! Die—” Rhinos cackled mid-swing.
”Gōbu?” he managed, just before he vanished.
”My best buddy? You look a mess, Gōbu-kun. I hadn’t seen you around, and you were playing here all this time? I’ve been looking for you.” I chided gently.
”Go… Gōbuuu!!” Gōbu-kun wailed with relief and joy.
”Oh! My best buddy~! What have you been up to? Let me heal your wounds… Restoration (Heal)!” I declared, initiating the magic.
”Gōbu bu bu!!” he cheered.
And just like that, I was reunited with My best buddy, Gōbu-kun, in a really unexpected place.
(Meanwhile, Elsewhere)
”Oh my, look! More and more cute boys keep popping up out of nowhere~!” the first female Orc squealed with delight.
”This is the best! Let’s have naughty fun with us, your juicy female Orcs, until you break, darlings!” the second leered.
”Try to stay sane until tomorrow, okay? Why? Well, most of the boys who play with us usually look like shriveled weeds by sunrise!” the third explained with a wicked laugh.
”W-what is this place? And who the hell are you? All these monsters?!… Guhah?! W-what is this brute strength?! L-let go of me! Do you know who I am? I am Rhinos-sama, the new-generation Ace of the Albion Empire—Gyaaaaa!!” Rhinos shrieked in utter terror.
That day, tens of thousands of Albion Empire’s proud Dragon Knights and young student knights vanished into thin air. Isn’t that mysterious? I mean, I did leave two guys behind.
A few months later, they’ll be taken in, near death, by the Seyfried Duke’s House and lovingly tended to by My private black market contacts. They’ll all convert to the Shin-kyō (Religion of Shin) and become My undying, fearless private army, which is a future only I know about.
In fact, due to all of this, the Albion Empire’s military power will be cut in half, and the nation is going to have a really rough time. It’s so sad!

Summary:
Shin, the total villainous heir, totally just flipped the script on the Albion Empire! He took that boring ‘vanguard’ mission as a chance to launch a full-on invasion scheme, and his main goal is just to grab the Lindworm territory as ‘payment’ to help his favorite people. It’s wild how he treats this massive political conflict like an Ero Otome Game quest. He basically pulls a sneaky-move, using his Teleportation magic to ditch his airship escort and starts his attack by sending thousands of elite enemy Dragon Knights straight to the female Orcs’ paradise! LOL, poor Rhinos-sama.
Character Insight: Shin’s loyalty to Alexia and Red-kun is so extreme it overrides all global politics—he’s a ruthless player, but he’s got a soft spot for his chosen few, which makes him super dangerous.
Behind-the-Scenes: This move immediately cripples the Albion Empire’s military power, exactly as Shin planned, turning their soldiers into his loyal private army. That’s some next-level, chaotic-neutral yuri-RPG scheming right there!

Notes
1 [Mirror World (Fushigi Kagami no Kuni) is a location used by Shin to plan and execute his various schemes, serving as a ‘safe zone’ or strategic planning area. It’s a classic hidden base trope, kind of like a secret Discord server, y’know?] ↩
2 [Shin-kyō (Religion of Shin) is the cult/religion that Shin has somehow established, usually by brainwashing or saving people, to be his loyal, unwavering followers. Total mind control vibes, but low-key.] ↩
3 [Religion of Shin, again, is the ultimate loyalty program. Shin uses it to make his former enemies into his best, most reliable soldiers, which is just peak villain scheming, gotta admit.] ↩
Notes:
• Albion Empire – A nation to the east of Regain where dragonkind is revered as divine. It is currently locked in ‘bloody, territorial chaos’ with the new Demon King’s forces in Schwert.
• Uru – The wolf.
• Lin – Alt’s mentor, described as the ‘Great Hero who sealed the ancient dragon, Albion, who resides in the Dragon Country.’ He is suggested as someone who might possess knowledge of a cure for the dragon race’s strange disease.
• Luva – The cold, calculating Speaker of the Albion Empire’s Elder Council who proposes using political manipulation and hostages to acquire the prosperous Seyfried Territory.
• Lala – Delusional saint candidate from the Lax Empire who becomes fanatically devoted to Shin, founding a religion in his name and often speaking with the quirky suffix ‘~desuwa’
• Painter’s Key Guardian – One of the five quest artifacts. It can pick any lock and was essential for free movement. Manifested as the puppet Chucky, whose malignant personality Shin destroyed, turning it into a crystal-colored key.
• Red Rose Garment – One of the five quest artifacts, secured previously (by defeating Master Raichi).
• Chucky – A dilapidated puppet summoned by Master Raichi using Wonder Texture Key. Instantly sliced in half by Alexia’s Golden Axe before it could attack.
