Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? ~ Tensei Chokugo wa Donzoko Sutāto, Demo Ban’nō Mahō de Gyakuten Jinsei o Jōshō-chū!

I'll be fifteen this year.

At this point, I was getting my ideal hikikomori life.

I built a log house on the shore of the lake about two hours away by carriage from the castle, and for the most part of my day, that's where I live for a week without going back to the castle. Really comfortable.

When I'm away, the Copy Android is taking my place, so my fathers don't know that fact either.

That's exactly what I got for paradise.

But it is...

One day, near the snowmelt, my father called me in and I was relative.

I'm standing in front of my father, who rarely enters the office and has a reception set but lines up at the executive desk.

"Sorry to call you so suddenly, Hart."

"It's good for the basket, but what's wrong? That's unusual."

I stopped doing sword arches and stuff these days. At this age, as an aristocratic (albeit stepson) son, I have to study quite a bit, apparently.

But I'm exempt from that. Are you not expected or are you letting me go free? Sensibly, it's the latter.

"I want you to live in King's Capital in the spring."

"I don't like it."

I don't know what it is all of a sudden! I answered with a spinal reflex.

"Well, that reaction is natural. Anyway, look at this."

Dad offered folded paper.

I'll walk in and take it.

I read it.

Even so, it was halfway there, but that's where my patience took its limits.

"Letter of recommendation? Wang Du's, school, enrollment..."

I'm getting nauseous.

School.

You tormented me in a previous life, a place to abhor. You want me to go there?

"I don't like it."

Now clearly, I passed the rejection.

"I guess. You were badly repulsed when you tried to get me to go to school in the realm. I don't ask why you hate me so much, but there are circumstances that don't go by this time because I don't like you."

"... because the king is direct?

The sender of this letter was the king of this country.

"I don't know why King Zirk looked at you. Notice Hart's birth - Oh, no, you know he's a civilian."

Only my father and mother are supposed to know that I am a former abandoned prince. And then there's Frey. You didn't even tell me.

I've been hiding the "Wang Tattoo" on my left chest for a long time, and Frey has accidentally fallen out with a little bit, but I've never only done hema that leaks secrets.

The king, of course, should not have been enlightened by anyone else.

"If it's possible -"

Whoever it is, I won't tolerate anyone interrupting my comfort life.

Her Royal Highness Princess Marianne.

Your sister!? That woman, she looked like a good person and she was actually belly black!

"The princess is one who appreciates your strength. It also says there that Prince Rias will be enrolled in the flying class. 'I hope to drill with you and contribute to the development of the kingdom', i.e. 'befriend him'?

Because of that fucking kid's character, he seems like a friend. But you're a prince, so Jesus man will lift you up, right? I've been there in my last life, you know.

So I feel like 'be my friend' is different.

"So this letter of recommendation is essentially from the princess?

"The king is drowning Princess Marianne. I'm giddy with Prince Rias, but if I think I couldn't turn down my beloved daughter's favor, I can get through."

Why would that sister want me in school?

If you read it right, it's like the best elite magic school in this country, and you want me to have that status?

I don't know.

"I'm not saying that Nor is there any anxiety. Now's the time, but it's possible the queen set something up and set the princess on fire. But..."

Dad said with a serious eye.

"I want you to see the wider world. I don't deny working in my own room on ancient magic research, but it would be a good opportunity to meet many people, get inspired, and gain deeper insight. But there must have been a lab specializing in ancient magic."

The lab? I imagined high school at my age, but maybe college is closer.

"... when I say no, is it a lot of trouble?

"Sort of. Suppose the princess didn't mean any harm as a sender. It's just a letter of recommendation in the name of the king. You have to lie to say no, and if you discover it, it'll be extra easy."

I guess. Sister, what are you thinking?

"... ok. I'll be there."

I'm left to take care of my father, and I can't bother him any more.

Ma, there are measures (...) Shina.

"Thank you. Learn well and show me how you've grown up sooner or later. Let me tell you something right now."

"Hmm? What are you doing?

"Hurt is exempt from the entrance exam because he is recommended for admission. You've reached your current magic level, so I'm sure you won't dare measure it."

"Okay. So stay away from Mija's Crystal."

The magic level is public, but I keep it a secret that it's a special case where I don't have attributes. That's what happens when Mija's Crystal is used to measure magic levels and attributes.

So it's hard for me to be considered a former prince from there.

"I'll tell you why I can't publicly declare you're unaffiliated. Forgive me now."

"He said he didn't care. I'll do it right there. The entrance ceremony is still ahead of us, isn't it?

"It's only about a month away. Charlotte will miss you. Can I tell you when?

"Oh, she'll be fine."

I'm not going to go to school (...). Absolutely let Hikikomori Life go on.

After a little talk, I went back to my room.

"Leave it to me. I made a copy for a time like this."

A boy who looked just like me told me.

You have the same personality, but you're a good listener.

"What did you think I'd say? I'll never go to school!

It wasn't easy to hear at all.

"Well, calm down. If you're me too, you know what I'm thinking, right? Try to calm down and get your head around it. There's the only way everything fits in circles!

Sounds pompous, cheen.

"I see. I can't use magic in a copy, so I'm going to try to get him expelled from school."

That's me. Quick to understand.

"I go to the best elite school in the country. You can't keep falling in forever."

"But that's okay with you, right?

"I can use the magic of the junction. For example, when I get caught up in a defect, I might accidentally use it to protect myself"

"... what happens to me if I get tangled up in a defect and let go of my magic?

"You don't know? I'm gonna get hurt."

"I knew you'd do it! Why do I have to see it hurting!

"It's better than dying!

"You could die!

No, well, I can't say it's not possible.

"It's okay, don't worry. Your" substitute is what you are ".

The last time I got hammered.

"I knew it! How many eyes do I have now?"

"No, I'm sorry, I'm serious. I can't afford to sacrifice myself just to look just like me."

I've thought about doing it before.

"You do, what I thought I'd do"

"Ugh...... Exactly the prospect. But then Charles told me," Don't do it because you look pathetic. "

"Let's Believe"

I'm a real pain in the ass.

"Anyway, I'll protect your body so it doesn't hurt in the junction. Your mission is to play the fallout and get kicked out of school early. And focus on it."

"Well, I don't have a choice. While you're pulling into the lakeside log house, I'm enjoying my hikikomori life in this room. To protect it."

"I asked for it."

"Whoa!"

Thus, our Early Expulsion Mission was launched -.
