The Petty Villain Plays by the Rules: Rewriting This Otome Game with Honest Work! Volume 3

by MIZUNA, Sachi Salehi (Translator), Ruki (Illustrator)

After successfully thwarting the plans of the faction opposed to his marriage to Princess Farah, Reid can now focus on his second objective for his trip to finding rute grass, the ingredient he needs to make the silver bullet that could cure his mother’s mana depletion disorder. Thanks to his memories from his previous life, Reid already has a lead—he’s confident that he’ll find rute grass in the Evil Forest. Of course, the “nonconventional prodigy” isn’t going to return home without some additional triumphs. Reid sets out on a third recruiting skilled artisans to invite back to the Valdia Mark in hopes of getting the best of both countries’ technologies. To accomplish all of his goals, he’s going to need the help of an apothecary, a pair of dwarven blacksmiths, and some furry critters, which might not be so easy given the bad actors that stand in his way. Reid was fated to be a villain anyway, so he’s not opposed to playing dirty to take down his foes!

It is wholesome and cute. But nothing happens in this vol well the only thing is a lot of ships went down so harem brothers for my maybe it is time to drop off this. I think I will try another vol but the story is not good enough to keep my reading.
