World's Strongest Became the Game's Weakest Villain

The Hall family’s scions were fairly talented despite being spoiled. The middle son wasn’t of question since he was kicked out before he could kick something in, but the rest weren’t free of responsibility or talent themselves.

Just like how Vienna Golden Hall was prodigious with the sword, so was Billy Ard Hall prodigious with business and management. He was already helping decrease his father’s workload, and could do much more.

Like running businesses. Best of them.

In a school as well. He could also pour in his own agenda in them, for example, luring out his brother who had gotten interested in cats. Or luring out his brother who was always a sweet-tooth, or luring out his brother in general.

And so, to that end, he borrowed his power as the secretary of the Sachertorte faction and raked in ton of profit, along with pulling out his suddenly rebellious little brother.

Well the rebellious phase was because he was helping kill demons, who knew?

Billy, sitting alone in the cat cafe, yawned and stretched his hand above his head. When the catfolk student took a break, it was his turn to sit here.

But not like many people came around to this place.

Yawning, Billy got up from the counter and decided to take a step outside, eat some breeze if one will. Not far away in the crimson skies of the distant setting sun, his eyes fell on a group of three.

Sophia Mirxa, a person he knew since he was a child.

Lily, running toward the ice cream stand he had put up, which also brought in a fair amount of profit.

And lastly, his younger brother, the person he had been trying to meet for a while now.

Sophia pressed her hand together and spoke to his brother with an awkward smile, and Eugene, as always, was pretty simple. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He couldn’t make out everything, but it seemed interesting. He could probably use it as a chance to talk to Eugene as well.

Billy hid behind a pole as close to the two and tried his best to listen in. Killing his presence was going to be counter-productive, he was sure no-one in the academy could trick Eugene’s nose. So, he just acted like a normal student.

It wasn’t easy to hear, but he could make out some words.

"...pay up for things…"

Pay up?

"….Fonias twins in… class… are really bothering me."

Billy’s ears perked up high.

"…gotten worse…"

No way. All this time, his family friend was being bothered? There was no way those Fonias would be on two feet if Vienna heard of this. No, Eugene probably won’t let it go. In Billy’s eyes, he was no better than a tsundere that acted thorny but was always soft.

At least his brother wasn’t involved in this, but it could happen anytime.

"I’ll meet them."

It was then that Billy heard Eugene’s words.

Meet them? Eugene? Was going to meet the Fonias?

The same Fonias that weren’t only after his life, but were also famed as being the scum of the country? Also the same Fonias that were, legally, Eugene’s maternal family?

No, no, no. As natural as it was for a child to meet their maternal family, it was just as natural to avoid them if they were the Fonias.

This… this was going to be complex. He couldn’t handle this on his own.

But what he absolutely couldn’t let happen, was to let those Fonias bastards hurt his brother. Billy had enough determination to be hit with a cue ball straight in the head for his brother right now. Location he could make Alec spill, for now, it was important to get back up.

Billy dashed back into the shop and dropped his apron away.

"Meoww!?"

"Secretary!?"

"Emergency, gotta go. Make sure you update the books before leaving, and make sure all the cats are where they should be, alright?"

"O-of course…?" The girl couldn’t complete her words as Billy already dashed away. Up the bridges and down the islands, he rushed past the many houses and islands in the way as he ran from the Sachertorte faction to the Student Council island. He invaded the building at lighting speed, stopped for the formalities anyway.

"Miss Vienna Golden Hall please!" he said, kicking up and down over and over. The students inside couldn’t help but think he was holding his bladders, but that was truly not the case.

Billy dashed up the stairs and shoved open the door to Vienna’s office.

"B-billy?! What happened?" Vienna said, shooting up her desk. "Are you alright?"

"Big trouble!"

Vienna walked over to the door, her eyes burning with rage at whatever had troubled her family.

"What happened?" She demanded.

"That… Eugene…Eugene is going to meet the Fonias twins! They have been bullying Sophia for a while now to meet Eugene, something about paying up!"

Vienna fist clenched, and so did her teeth.

"WHERE THOSE BASTARDS!"

"Sister! Stop! Not right now!"

"Let go! I’ll kill them! Let go!"

"Sister!!"

"How about a band, though, seriously. It’ll be pretty cool."

Lazing around in the lounge he had built with a lot of handwork, Albert had to listen to Luka’s mutters again.

So, he was a lonely brat with no real friends, Albert wanted no part in that.

"Come on, we can play some scores by that unknown musician from Schwarz."

"Oh, that’s Eugene. He’s just, engaging in crazy amounts of plagiarism."

"Huh?"

"Point being, we’re not doing it."

Luka was shot down again.

Albert wasn’t thinking of that though. He really wanted his place to be praised a bit, but the two people he showed it to didn’t even come here once!

Albert thought.

Maid cafes? Cosplay events?

Other world or not, smart or not, this was the same guy who had played the Eroge and told its contents religiously to his friend.

In a way, Eugene was an outlier that wasn’t interested in such stuff.

Eroge, outliers…

Dating sim? A physical T*nder?

Great ideas were flowing into Albert’s head.

"Hey Albert, if not a band, how about a quintet?"

"Fuck off man."
