It's not long now until we get to the best part of this volume!!! To understand more about this chapter, read part 3 of the spin-off. Wow, it looks like Alisa has a cousin...really where do all these relatives come from!? Alisa has a cousin. Rudel has a cousin from his previous life and a dead cousin. But Airi has no one! The poor thing is lonelier than Bambi!
Banfield Household, one of the six great nobles of the Aristocratic Kingdom of Aster. It was the house of Jude. It was a house with exceptional strength even among the six great nobles. That was why they were not satisfied with the current situation. The head of the house, Cliff Gaia Banfield had a robust build. He was muscular with thick arms as big as his body. It looked like his shirt would burst from his pecs. His hair was spiky and green eyes with a sharp sight. His face and chin were also thick. At a glance, he gave the impression of a difficult person to deal with. At the moment he was irritated with Randolf's weak foreign policy towards the kingdom. "That Randolf, doesn't he understand that it will be a disadvantage to Aster in future diplomacy if he behaves modestly?" A count of Altfode Kingdom was unilaterally bashing Herring Household. On the surface it was dressed up as internal discord from Aster, but for Cliff, who knew the truth, he couldn't keep his cool. Th
Now that Ixion is gone to defeat pirates, I can be safe from his spying eye. It's not that I'm going to do anything wrong, it's just that I don't like him watching and judging me. Like my situation right now. Once the meeting was over, I asked the Queen for some of her time. I brought her and the other ministers my regards. Even to the bastard Leonis, but it is a special thing that eliminates carnal desire in a man. A product created to punish those men who deserve to have what they shouldn't be wearing cut off. "And then I..." Lecia agreed, but her maids didn't want to leave her alone, I felt sad that they would judge me as if I was going to do something to her. I would if I were a horrible man who didn't respect women. The reason she wants to be alone with me is that she enjoys hearing my stories. Unlike my girlfriends who act scared when I tell them what I got into, her reaction is totally different. "Did that really happen!" She reacts as if she is a little girl hearing
I managed somehow to keep Ellen from taking my virginity. She certainly took a first time. I'm not complaining, but I wish my first experience was with my girlfriends. She is also one currently, but our situation is a secret for now. Once we left the room, she looked satisfied as she wiped her mouth. We kissed goodbye as I left before her father arrived. I returned in a carriage to the Duke's mansion in the capital. As I entered, I found the girls waiting for me. I thought they were going to smell me since Ellen's perfume was on my body. But, it seems not to be so. "What took you so long at the palace?" Asked Alisa with her arms crossed. "We got word that the convocation ended hours ago!" Airi exclaimed putting her hands on her hips. She couldn't even jokingly tell them who she was with. "When the convocation ended, I went to look for a commercial place for my mom, then I went to see Mr. Ben." Her expressions were no longer annoyed. "Geez, if you were doing that, you wou
A few days passed since that magnificent day. I finally said goodbye to my virginity. It took much longer than I expected. "So you gave Erselica a pension?" The location was my father-in-law's duchy since the duke wanted to talk to me. That was when we borrowed a room in Duke Bismarck's mansion to enjoy tea in an elegant way. Doing something like this really made me feel like a nobleman. It made me let my guard down. "... Yes." In front of me was Alisa, whose face had become expressionless and the smiling Airi standing next to her. "Rudel, you were also exchanging letters with the queen, weren't you? You even had us deliver your letter to her majesty once." "I did." I asked my fiancés to deliver a letter to a woman who fit my standards. The result was satisfactory. Even without giving it much thought, it was obviously a bad thing to do, wasn't it? I was having fun with teatime until halfway through. But, I let my guard down as we talked about different topics. After learn
Erselica's mansion was silent. Part of this was because the usually noisy five idiots had left, but it was also due to the dark and gloomy atmosphere. It was already dark. Erselica planned to sleep when this was over. Cana spoke to Erselica, who was in that state. "Erselica-sama, about Lucy-san." "Did something happen?" "She lived with us before this event, so there's nothing worrisome. But, how should I put it, it's like she's putting on a brave face. Sometimes she looks very depressed." The day Erselica saved Lucy. Actually, Bell was monitoring Lucy's situation. That's why they managed to notice Jude's approach. Erselica arrived in time to protect Lucy, but her condition was strange. "... I see. I'll take care of that, Cana, you go get some rest now." "Y-Yes." Erselica ordered Cana to rest and stopped writing in her household ledger. She held her head as she lay on the table. "Stupid brother, what am I going to do now?" The Priestess Emblem appeared on the back of Lucy's
Loud footsteps could be heard running up a staircase. It was Madame Beverly coming to Lucy and Diana's apartment. Madame Beverly was a "man". He was muscular, yet wore makeup. He was wearing a very tight shirt that showed the shape of his muscles very clearly. He was a shop owner who spoke in a high masculine tone and sometimes like a woman. But, actually his real name was Lutart, he was a knight serving in the Vermillion Household. He is the head of the temporary knights due to the fact that the previous one and those who had higher than "him" were killed. He was protecting Lucy and Diana from the shadows by having them working in the same place. He was not the only one. There were other knights hiding close to them. The vegetable seller. The butcher. Many people close to them protected them by hiding their existence. They were a very small number. The sisters were able to enroll in the academy thanks to the efforts of the former servants of Vermillion Household. "Diana-sama
The Banfield Household mansion was in a great commotion. The soldiers guarding Lucy were electrocuted, but without permanent damage. The mansion was also attacked, and they allowed an intruder to enter. That infuriated both Cliff and Jude. Cliff gulped down a glass of alcohol in one gulp before violently slamming the empty glass on the table. "All the planning will go wrong if the priestess is kidnapped! Whose job is this? Haven't they figured out where that Black Armor went yet?" The suspect in this was Rosenberg Household. Cliff didn't even consider that the Kingdom would be involved in this attack, as it was absurd for the Kingdom to be involved in something secret, let alone knowing Lucy's importance to them. Jude was also uneasy. "Lucy won't talk. I scolded her a little harshly, but she kept insisting that she doesn't know the culprit." "Don't treat the priestess too roughly. Even so, the guards were of no use even though there were also knights with emblems among them. Thi
The five idiots had returned. That was nice and all, but the timing was uncertain. They were not present when Lucy was kidnapped, and now they were useless at this stage when they were going to bring her back. What was the purpose of these guys' existence? I was seriously thinking about that. But I couldn't leave them in the dark either. After all, these were the group of idiots who came back as a pianist, magician, bodybuilder and a festival guy after leaving the mansion and promising to make money. Liam, the waiter at one stand, seemed the most decent among them. Liam was sitting in a chair and crossing his arms while still wearing an apron. I had explained to him what had happened so far, but─ "I get the gist of it. In other words, Bradford, you want to save Lucy, don't you?" "I guess so." I didn't expect any appropriate response from these guys, but I guess I should ask their opinion just in case. If they said something stupid and tried to carry it out, they'd have to be
"This really sucks." My name is Rudel. A simple, generic high school student. One day upon returning home, my parents said to me. "Rudel! You've been selected to study at the prestigious Altfode Royal Academy!" "Are you excited? Mom is, she always thought you'd end up being a good-for-nothing like your older brothers." (Hey, you shouldn't tell your kids that.) (By the way, what the hell is the Altfode Royal Academy?) That's what I wondered before I went to sleep. When I woke up, I read the pamphlet my dad gave me. It said there that the Altfode academy is a very special private institution which only a certain number of the world's elite can enter. "Damn, that's impressive!" But that's not what's truly impressive. How the hell did I get selected? It says in the pamphlet that they give you a special exam to get in. But I never took one. How could I have gotten in? My parents don't question this. My older brother Lyle looked at me with a jealous expression on his face.
My name is Rudel van Bradford and I am a reincarnate. Due to certain events in my life I went on a mission that my home, the Altfode Kingdom requested. I fought pirates and then one of them told me that there was a bounty on my head. So I immediately returned home to kick the ass of the idiot who played that tasteless joke on me. Although at this point I don't think it's a joke anymore, since... "Kill him!" "He who takes his head will be rewarded." "The Glaive Squad will be the one to kill him!" I am being attacked by knights from my own country. As soon as I reached one of the borders of the country, a fleet of seventy airships was waiting for me. I engaged them and the instant I did so, they fired their cannons at me. Battler is a bit damaged, it needs repairs. That's why I needed to go to my island so Bell could repair it. But these idiots started attacking me. I pulled out my axes and I didn't care who they are, they are trying to kill me so I will kill them. My airs
Howdy my dear readers. Greetings once again from Siegburn. I am grateful to all of you for giving me your support and reading one of my works again. It makes me very happy. I'm sure many of you want to know what happened here, let's get to it. Starting with what most annoying questions ask. Why didn't Diana die? She deserved it! Certainly it is as you say, Diana should have died, indeed; she would die after being pierced in her stomach and upon meeting Lugh, the two would become one, thus achieving a new sacred tree. Why didn't I do it, you ask? The answer is even simpler. How I killed Diana, I would have had to kill Randolf as well. And nobody wants that! You see, at the time of drafting, Diana would die first, then Randolf instead of Romeo. His son would take over and Rudel would destroy the republic. Why did I change it? Because I thought of this. If there is no one to listen to the words of the tree, how will they collect the orbs? Who would take over Aster since n

Today is a new day in my quiet life. Good morning world, my name is Rudel. I am a citizen of the Supreme Kingdom of Aster and this is my day to day life. ◇ To begin with, I am a reincarnate. I died and reincarnated in this world of fantasy and swords. My father came to this country years ago, he was in the care of the Rosenberg Household. He died years ago and asked them to take care of me. I was about to move to the city on my own when the head of the house, Randolf-san told me to stay. I was given my own room and also a baronet's title. Why so kind to a stranger? There are two answers. The first is unknown, perhaps my father and Randolf-san were great friends. The second is due to this boy. "Good morning Master Rudel. It's a beautiful morning, isn't it?" "Good morning Zero." Zero is an artificial intelligence I found in Aster's dungeon one day when I went to fetch a sapling as an offering to the sacred tree. I got lost and found this guy who is a giant airship. But d
The following video file was mysteriously deleted. No one knows how it happened. No one can explain what happened. It may even be labeled as fake. The only thing that is known is that there is no trace of anyone involved. ◇◇◇ "Emm, testing. Testing." "Is this thing on?" A scientist turned on a video camera to record an experiment. A group of scientists were with him. "Professor, if you can't turn on a simple camera, you should leave it to someone else." "Silence insolent!" "It's just that I'm not used to using one." "Hahaha, the professor is an important scientist and can't turn on a camera." *Laughs* "Don't laugh at me! Old age is a cruel enemy to everyone." The scientists had huge machines and all those gadgets pointed to a small box with a metal ball inside. *Cough* The scientist indicated with his cough that it was time to begin. All the scientists put on their goggles and walked away. "All right, we're going to do test number 41 of the experiment." "We've call
My name is Judah. I am an artificial intelligence created by humans to serve them. My main body is a large computer which can command from a secure location a state of the art warship. I was ordered to stay here waiting for orders. For that reason, I haven't moved in a long time. How long has it been? I do not know. I only know that the branches of the big tree that covers this territory have grown deep into here. It really is irritable to have to cut them off. ◇◇ The branches of this thing are really annoying. What's more, I'm surprised that it can grow vegetation. According to an analysis I did a while ago, there was a big toxic cloud surrounding the whole world. But after a while, little by little the toxins have started to disappear. As I was ordered to stay here waiting for orders, I can't do anything. I can only wait. They are really taking their time. Well, while I'm waiting. Should I order some things? Everything is so quiet. There's nothing weird on my rada
In a large room of a mansion, Diana opened her eyes. She was in her usual pajamas. When she was a child, it was normal for maids to come and change her clothes. After she lost her home she had to do it alone. But now that she has her house back... no one helps her. After doing her basic needs she went to change. She changed into a business suit with pants included. She went downstairs for breakfast and there was Lutart. "Diana-sama, good morning." "Good morning, Lutart." Breakfast was served. She wanted to go back to the days where she had luxurious and exotic foods for breakfast. Now she could only find oatmeal, bread, juice and sometimes bacon with eggs. Lutart was the one who prepared it. Since there was no one else in this mansion. After being declared priestess, Diana avoided her execution, but with it Aster's hatred did not descend one bit. To clean the house or any repairs that need to be done, servants from other families come. The servants of Vermillion Househ
Night fell on the last day before Rudel and the others set sail for home. Ixion and Bell met on Aurora's deck to talk. "Were you able to find out anything?" "I'm afraid not. As we thought, Zero's systems were so badly burned out that I can't recover anything." "I see. That's unfortunate." Not long ago, Zero died. In doing so, he took some information with him to the grave. Bell asked. "Is it really that important to know about this Rugel guy?" Ixion felt more interest in the name "Rugel" than any other information. Who was Rugel? Why did Zero know him? What did Aster have to do with any of this? These are questions that will never be answered, since the only one who could answer them is no longer in this world. Ixion answered Bell. "The royal ship that was lost in the war. It contained a strange device. From the information you gave me, it was created by that Rugel guy." "That means Rugel used technology from ancient humankind to create it." "Would Zero have helped him?
