Chapter 12: A Mansion in the Noble District

I looked into my mirror as I fixed my hair for The Red Ninjette’s clan party. The figure looking back at me was far more handsome than Piggy had originally been. A slimmer Piggy would look quite attractive, given how the rest of his family looked, and I wasn’t wrong. My eyes and nose were well-defined, and the contours of my face were sharp. I was also looking a little gaunt, but that was the only detraction.

Since I no longer looked like a stereotypical villain, it could be easier for me to fit in with the rest of my class. It wasn’t unthinkable that with my new look, cute girls would start talking to me. The last time I’d gone through this, I’d regained my lost weight almost immediately, although I was fighting against my strong sense of hunger this time. I was determined to hold on to my slim figure.

My sudden weight loss presented problems of its own, namely in the wardrobe department. I wasn’t worried about wearing a baggy jacket, but my pants were too loose and looked awful. Additionally, my waist size had dropped so much that I’d probably need a new pair. There wasn’t enough time to do that before the party, so I hooked a belt through my pants to tighten them up.

Now that I’d finished getting ready, I needed to have a chat with Kano.

“Kano, we need to talk.”

She lay on the sofa in the living room, then raised her head from her magazine and looked at me. “Wrong time of day to wear a school uniform, isn’t it?”

“Mom and dad are hunting skeletons inside the dungeon tonight, and I want you to join them.”

“I was planning to anyway. Is something up?”

“Things might get dangerous today, so I want you somewhere safe.”

“Huh, dangerous?” Kano tilted her head almost ninety degrees, looking confused.

The address on the invitation I’d received, likely The Red Ninjette’s base, was where I was about to head. I doubted there’d be any violence—they would’ve attacked me already by now if they’d wanted to—but I couldn’t take any chances. As such, I wanted to make sure my family wasn’t anywhere nearby. My parents were raiding a spot where many skeleton warriors would spawn. They’d sent me a video of my mother ruthlessly gunning down monsters with her newly acquired magic. The look on my father’s face in the video told me they were both having a wonderful time. If Kano joined them, they could fight the Bloody Baron, so I wanted them to spend their night raiding the dungeon.

“It’s nothing to worry about,” I said. “I’m just meeting up with someone for dinner, and I don’t expect any danger. But if there is, I’ll be fine. I’ve got plenty of tricks up my sleeve.”

“Hmm... Well, that makes sense. It’d take Kotarou to take you down, after all!”

She was probably referring to Kotarou Tasato, the leader of the Colors Clan. He was a celebrity, and he featured in various parts of the game’s main story.
