The Villainous Noble Who Kept Rewinding After Death: The Story Somehow Changed When I Committed Suicide
Chapter 212: Town of Alphis
~side Kamael’s Group~
Time rewinds, and it had been five days since Lewis and the others arrived in the town of Rumalunia.
After parting ways with Lewis in front of the academy, Kamael and the others finally reached the town of Alphis, the closest town to the Kingdom Clan in the west of the Empire.
“We’re here.”
“So this is the town closest to Clan. I guess it’s bustling since it’s right in the middle of the Empire and Kingdom.”
“Sephiria, are you okay?”
“Yes. I apologize for the delay in our arrival. It took longer because of me.”
The reason Kamael’s group arrived later than Lewis’s was that Sephiria, who barely exercised, couldn’t run for long periods and had to take breaks frequently.
“I don’t think you should worry about it. It was nice to move at a slower pace.”
“Yeah, Sephiria doesn’t need to worry. Also, I think you should eat more. You’re too light.”
“R-really? I thought I was trying my best to eat!”
Realizing Sephiria couldn’t keep up with their pace, Fiera picked her up and carried her as they continued their run.
“True. Sephiria is the shortest among us and her arms are thin, so you should eat more.”
“Hehe. Someone here always eats too much, though. I wonder if the travel funds Lewis gave us will last until the end?”
“What!? That’s not relevant right now!!”
“Well, I just noticed when I was carrying you earlier, Sephiria has quite a chest. It must be impressive if she took off her clothes. Bigger than either of you two.”
“Are you serious!? Even though she doesn’t eat as much as I do!?!”
“No way! I thought Sephiria was smaller than me!!”
“Um…uh…”
Suddenly putting the focus on her chest made Sephiria blush and try to cover herself with her arms, resulting in emphasizing her chest even more and attracting the gazes of Shuvina and Sonia, who had more modest figures compared to her.
“I was caught off guard. I never thought Sephiria would be the type to wear her size well.”
“Maybe the nutrition from what she eats goes there…”
“Wait, Sonia. I also eat a lot. By that theory, my chest should be bigger than Fiera’s by now. So where is the nutrition from what I eat going?”
“Umm… to… the stomach…?”
“That’s ridiculous!!”
“Okay, okay, let’s stop there. I’m here too, so could we save the chest talk for later? You wouldn’t want to talk about chests in front of other guys, would you?”
As the conversation started to go in a bizarre direction, Kamael interrupted by mentioning Lewis, and the excited Shuvina and Sonia finally calmed down.
“And also, since we haven’t entered the town yet, be careful since you’re back to calling each other by those names. Didn’t he mention that too?”
“That’s true.”
“Thanks, Rahamu. I’ll be careful from now on.”
“Please do. Now, let’s enter the town. Each of you needs to channel magic into your bracelets to use the recognition hindrance spell. Considering how striking your appearances are, it’s necessary.”
“Understood.”
Having spent a few days traveling with Fiera and the others, Kamael realized he could control them somewhat by bringing up Lewis when necessary.
Of course, since each of them had their quirks, they wouldn’t necessarily listen, but it was better than ignoring him entirely, which eased his stomachache.
After that, Fiera’s group moved to a secluded area before channeling magic into the bracelets given by Lewis. Fiera turned from brown hair with round, dog-like ears, Shuvina’s hair changed from blonde to silver, and Sonia’s shifted from reddish-purple to deep blue.
Finally, Sephiria’s hair transformed from pink to black, and Kamael changed his from blonde to green with his own magic.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Once they were ready, Kamael’s group showed their guild cards at the checkpoint, entering the town of Alphis.
“It’s great that there are two rooms available at the inn.”
“Yeah, it’s a double room and a single room, though.”
“Looks like we’ll have to share one room each since that’s all there is.”
“That’s fine, but I should warn you, I’m a terrible sleeper. Sorry in advance if you find me on the floor in the morning, Shuvina.”
“No problem! I’ve been told I can sleep like I’m dead. I hardly move, so you can rest easy, Fiera.”
“Is that really okay?”
Upon entering the town of Alphis, Kamael’s group first headed to the inn for their stay. Unfortunately, only a single room and one double room were available, so they had no choice but to stay there.
“So? We’re heading to the Adventurers’ Guild in this town, right?”
“I’ve never been to another town’s guild before! I’m so excited!”
“I’m curious to see how it differs from the Imperial city’s guild.”
“Be careful, though. There’s a chance some weirdos might bother you.”
“Could you stop looking at me like that while saying it? Sure, I’m the most likely cause of trouble here, but he’s the one who brought this situation about.”
“I’m not implying anything deep. I just wish that if someone gets into trouble, it would only be you.”
“Ugh… my stomach hurts. How does he manage to keep these girls in line?”
With one man and four women, it wasn’t hard to imagine that rough adventurers would get tangled up in this situation, and just thinking about what might happen next was making Kamael’s stomach ache.
If there was one misconception, it was that Lewis wasn’t always coordinating Fiera and the others. Instead, he had left them to their own devices, which resulted in them following him and taking initiative to be helpful.
In other words, Kamael’s method of trying to manage them was fundamentally different from Lewis’s, and moreover, Fiera and the others acted according to what Lewis liked or suggested to avoid being abandoned, making their behavior a source of stress for Kamael, who wasn’t Lewis.
“Are you okay, Kamael? Should I cast a healing spell?”
“I’m fine. If you cast a healing spell, I might start feeling overly fine and that might make me go crazy, so I’ll pass.”
“Is that so?”
Sephiria’s offer was nice, but Kamael felt that the stomach ache was keeping him grounded, so receiving a healing spell would only amplify his anxiety.
“We’ve arrived.”
“Wow, so this is the Adventurers’ Guild of Alphis. The building looks impressive, and there seem to be quite a few adventurers.”
“I’ve only ever seen the guild in the Imperial city, so I wouldn’t know, but there are definitely a lot.”
“Yeah. The gazes are really intense.”
“It’s true. I can feel the people around us watching us.”
“That’s to be expected. You all stand out.”
As they continued talking, Karmael’s group arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild, but the attention directed towards them—more precisely at Fiera and the others—was overwhelming, with many male adventurers focusing their eyes on them.
No matter how much they changed their hair color, they were originally beautiful girls, so their looks couldn’t be changed, leading to an inevitable gathering of eyes.
Once they entered the guild, the situation didn’t change; if anything, they felt like they were encircled and exposed to unsettling gazes from every direction.
However, Fiera and the others completely ignored the attention, approaching the reception where they talked with a woman.

From this point, we’ve shifted to Fiera’s side of the story!
I haven’t set a specific number of chapters, but it’s not expected to be too long, so if you’re curious about Lewis’s side of the story, please bear with us a little longer!
Also, if you’re interested, please check out the simultaneously serialized “The Former Hero Becomes the Demon Sovereign and Dedicates Himself to the World”!
I’d be delighted if you could read it at least once!
