The Regressor Is The Villain

The next day, the mission day began.

"..."

I stared at the excellent sword and the pile of potions in front of me, the number of which was even close to thousands. I could only smile awkwardly.

Father seemed to be very worried about me to prepare such a good weapon and even excessive potions. Although I'm suffering from an illness right now, but it's a bit much if I don't know that there are irregular monsters.

Even now I'm wearing a luxurious outfit with extraordinary features such as emergency magic storage with several other features.

Since the place I'm going to is very cold and dangerous for my weak body, father has prepared clothes that can withstand the cold and can even generate warmth from inside the clothes.

And most importantly, the cloak with the image of the Wolfled family's wolf symbol on it indicated that I was the rightful heir of the Wolfled family.

(Father really recognized me as the rightful heir.)

I was very happy but as usual, I couldn't smile easily. It seems like I've really delved into the nature of a villain.

For now I'm happy with this much stuff, it's at least enough to fight the monster.

"Are you leaving? You're going home right?"

My cute little sister looked at me with a sad gaze. Ugh, even her sad gaze is so cute!

"Don't worry Hel, you'll only be gone for a while. I'll be back soon, when I come back let's play whatever Hel wants."

"Really?"

"Yes, I promise."

"Hehehe!"

I stroked Hel's head while also smiling to see Hel happy. I don't know why Hel is the only one who can make me smile happily right now.

I hope this happiness can last for a long time...

"Are you ready?"

Father appeared with a neat appearance and asked me.

I bowed my head and answered.

"I'm ready, dad."

"Hmm, then I'll introduce you to the squad that will help you in your mission."

Then a few people appeared behind Dad. They were dressed quite well for the squad that would be assisting me. The squad consisted of two women and five men.

Normally in a mission like this, the squad chosen was a new platoon because of the state of the territory that required a professional squad to guard each territory from various threats.

But the squad that Dad introduced looked quite well equipped. At least they had about 10 years of experience.

"I'm Erlan, the leader of Squad 30, here to greet you young master."

A middle-aged man bowed his head at me.

What? Squad 30 was supposed to be a generation that was formed quite a while ago.

Since father became the head of the family, the Wolfled family made new reforms in the family military, one of which was to reshape the squad order. And the squad that was first created by father was divided into several squads, one of which was squad 30. This meant that the squad in front of me was a professional squad.

Seeing my confused expression, my father immediately realized it and answered my confusion.

"They are quite an experienced squad, they will help you in the extermination mission you are about to do. Don't worry, they currently don't have any tasks to carry out so you don't have to worry."

Although Dad's words were very normal but I could understand what he meant.

(I see...They are the squad with the least achievements compared to other squads, although they have low achievements but there is no denying that they have a lot of experience compared to other newly formed squads.)

"Stand up, I don't need your respect..."

I said in a cold tone with the intention of earning the hatred of the squad leader but the man didn't look angry and followed my words obediently. I didn't even get any villain points.

It seemed like they were used to being insulted. Does that mean they are often insulted like this? Well, I don't care about their business either.

"Introduce yourselves."

"Yes!"

"I salute the young master, my name is Signe"

A woman with blood-red hair and a fairly stocky body introduced herself. Judging from her body, she seemed to be a descendant of barbarians from the North.

"My name is Matthew."

After that, each member began to introduce themselves. After listening to the introductions of all the squad members, my impression was that it was very boring. Except for that barbarian woman, the other members didn't have any unique characteristics.

After finishing with the introductions, dad came back to see me after finishing talking to the person who was going to deliver us.

"Zend, have you finished introducing your members."

"I have, father."

"Good, the carriage is ready. You can leave immediately."

I looked at the carriage that would take us. Almost all the items had already been loaded into the carriage.

Even though my plan was perfect, even with the help of my father and the experienced squad, there should be no mistakes in my plan. But for some reason I felt nervous about something.

(Something's not right, I feel like I need to do something but what?)

To make sure my bad feeling was wrong, I again asked father about the contents of the mission.

"Dad, is it true that this is just an extermination of the remaining Alpha monsters?"

"Hmm? Yes, it's just a remnant monster extermination mission only. Previously, I and Squads 1 and 3 went to exterminate Alpha monsters a month ago. And it has been confirmed that there are no other Alpha monsters. You don't need to worry."

An Alpha Monster is a term for a monster that is the leader of a group of monsters that inhabit a place.

Generally, monsters acted individually, but there were definitely exceptions. Every once in a while, an irregular monster would appear that was capable of leading a group of monsters, and that was the Alpha monster.

Alpha monsters are several times stronger than normal monsters of their kind. And it certainly has excellent intelligence to lead the monsters against humans.

Alpha monsters are priority monsters that must be killed as soon as possible otherwise it will be dangerous for the city.

Father said if he had killed the Alpha monster that's where I'd be doing the mission, but why hasn't this uneasy feeling gone away?

"Young master, the carriage is ready."

Before I could continue my question, the driver was ready to take us.

(Tsk, the timing wasn't right.)

I glared at the cursor who interrupted my conversation, instantly the cursor became frightened.

(What can I do, I have to endure it. Maybe I'm just nervous that I'm faced with a choice that will completely change my life.)

I tried to convince myself to quickly forget this uneasy feeling and prepare to depart.

After finishing packing, the carriage started to move.

Meanwhile, my mother started waving at me with a worried expression. Mom was always so kind, I only realized that after I lost everything.

By my mother's side, my sister was holding back tears while waving at me, making me feel the need to wave as well.

(Kuh... My sister is so cute!!)

While admiring my sister's cuteness, my father suddenly began to raise his hand.

You're waving at me...

(Ah...)

Instantly my heart felt mixed, a little tear almost came out of my eyes.

(What the heck, how can an adult cry... this easily...)

Fortunately, I managed to hold the tears out of my eyes. It would be very embarrassing if I cried in front of the squad in front of me.

"..."

While Zend was waving his hand, he didn't realize that he was being observed by a red-haired woman. The woman was looking at Zend very intently like she was looking at prey.

(Why am I getting goosebumps all of a sudden?)
