I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 35

035 – I Have to Become Stronger

“Weiss, here you go.”

“Ah.”

“Weiss-sama, here you go.”

“A-Ah, yes.”

“Weiss, here you go.”

“Calm down, there’s still some in my mouth.”

“Then should I feed you with my mouth?”

“That’s not what I meant…”

Noblesse Academy, my room.

Thanks to the increase in points and our achievements in the Tag Tournament, my room has become quite spacious. It’s filled with luxurious furniture and has a skylight above the bed. There are even potted plants.

But I lay down like a sick person.

Cynthia and Lillith are feeding me the gentle Berry Berry Fruits alternately.

The taste isn’t bad, but they’re giving them to me too quickly. Besides, my body still hurts.

The dragon’s magic seemed to have a curse-like power, and it pushed my body beyond its limits. But with the blessings of dark magic and light magic, I’m gradually recovering my strength.

According to the doctor, my recovery speed is unbelievably fast.

And there was something that had been bothering me for a while, so I asked.

Alan and Cynthia were paired together. Despite the vast forest, he came to help me without any delay.

Is such a coincidence possible?

“Suddenly ran off?”

“Yes, as if I had a bad feeling. I thought it might be a monster, but… I’m sorry, Weiss. I didn’t notice anything.”

“That’s okay, don’t worry.”

Hmm… If I remember correctly, Alan said he was consulted about my refusal to marry Shally. So, he had a bad feeling… Is that it?

Their timing is just too perfect.

There might still be something hidden, but for now, it’s fine.

“And…”

“What’s wrong?”

There’s one more thing, no, this is the main thing.

Right now, I’m happy that Cynthia is my fiancée, but… she spent three days together with Alan.

What does she… think about him?

Of course, she said she loves me in the end, but I can’t help but feel anxious when I think rationally.

I know both of their stories, so it’s even more…

“…Did anything happen between you and Alan?”

“What do you mean?”

“That’s… It’s just that. Has anything changed between you two?”

“What do you mean? Alan and I are just classmates. We are nothing more, nothing less.”

“I-Is that so…”

…Jeez, why am I acting so petty?

I should have just asked directly.

But in the end, the future can change.

My actions will create the future.

Just as Milch Sensei said.

“Lady Cynthia, Weiss-sama is still re――”

“Hey, Lillith, don’t say anymore.”

“Y-Yes! My apologies! Forget what I said!”

“Huh, what’s wrong with ‘moist’?”

Cynthia’s innocence really saves the day at times like this.

Knock, knock, knock.

Who is it? Well, whatever.

“Come in.”

The one who entered after opening the door was Shally.

Her usual cheerful expression was gone, and she looked worried and apologetic.

That day, that moment, she was about to say something to me.

“Cynthia, Lillith, could you please leave us for a moment?”

“…Understood. Let’s go, Lillith-san.”

The two of them left without saying a word.

They are really kind.

After I lost consciousness, I woke up in Noblesse Academy.

It seems that Milch Sensei carried me back here, but I wish I had been awake.

After that, it seems that my father appealed directly to the school head.

However, my father isn’t a fool.

The contract clearly states that he won’t complain about the engagement issue, but the problem is the existence of the dragon.

There was a war in the north, and the dragon was one of those who escaped from the affected forest.

In retrospect, I think there was such an event, but I had no idea that they were resting their wings in that forest.

From now on, my father said to be cautious in various aspects, and it’s a reasonable argument.

Well, I heard it wasn’t exactly said in such a gentle way…

…I kind of wanted to see it.

“So, what about Shari?”

“Well… um… I’ve been misunderstanding you all along. I believed all the rumors without question… I truly… I was wrong.”

…No, you were not wrong.

I have changed. The rumors about me are true to begin with.

“What a trivial apology you’re giving.”

“Huh…”

“I helped you because it was beneficial to me. You’re aware that the monsters have become more active in the world, right? Unlike Allen, I’m not seeking an equal society. If monsters were to destroy a certain country and countless refugees flocked in, what do you think would happen? War would undoubtedly break out. At that time, your ability to bestow magic would be useful. Consider this a favor. Return it someday.”

The trigger for the downfall of Weiss Vincent was Allen, but it is the Demon Lord who will directly kill me.

Disasters will surely strike this world in the future.

At that time, Shari will undoubtedly be of use.

In Noblesse Oblige, there are various branching points, but only the end remains the same.

That won’t change. That’s why I’m desperately resisting.

Right now, this is still just a waypoint.

Shari smiled as if a burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

Yeah, that’s more like you.

“…Understood. Thank you, Weiss.”

“Hmm. By the way… what about that guy, Allen?”

“Do you care?”

“Huh?”

He chuckles.

Seriously, what’s with him?

“He’s alive, but barely. Seems like he used too much power, just like you. Now he’s being nursed back to health by Duke.”

“Consoling each other, are they?”

“Yeah. Are you envious?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. If you want, you can stay here and feed me fruits too.”

“I won’t.”

“I thought so.”

I don’t know how Shari will act from now on.

Among all the changes I’ve made, this is the biggest one.

Whether it leads to calamity or fortune… Well, it doesn’t matter.

Unpublished scenes are a privilege for the fans, aren’t they?

By the way…

“Hey, Karta, how long are you going to stand there?”

“Ee-eek!? S-Sorry!?”

I knew Karta was outside the door.

She probably came to visit, but she noticed that Shari and I were talking and got stuck.

So she ended up waiting there, not knowing what to do.

“If you have something to say, come in. Shari, tell Allen for me. If I decide to expose your ability, I’ll do it.”

“…Understood. You two really recognize each other, don’t you?”

“Huh? Recognize each other?”

“It’s nothing. Well then, see you later, Weiss. I really appreciate it. But if there’s a chance to fight again, I won’t hold back.”

“That’s a given.”

Allen was about to say something about a “gifted ability.”

I’ve never heard of such a thing.

Saving me from the cliff, avoiding the dragon’s flames… it’s not something ordinary.

But that’s fine. Let’s save the fun for later.

“U-Um, excuse me!”

Karta comes in nervously.

In her hands, she’s holding something huge… Isn’t that a Meromeron!?

It’s a highly valued fruit that can be harvested in this world.

It’s been a hot topic on community sites, and I’ve always wanted to try it too.

Is she a goddess?

“S-Sorry. I was wondering about your condition, Weiss-kun.”

“…I’m… alright. By the way, thanks to your flight magic, I was saved. But I’m still having trouble using it properly. Once I’m recovered, please teach me.”

“Huh? Y-Yes, um… sure! No, I mean… the answer is yes!”

“…It doesn’t matter for now.”

“Okay! Well then, see you later, Weiss-kun.”

Karta is about to leave. She’s holding the Meromeron in both hands.

“Hey, where are you going?”

“Eh? I-I thought I should go back.”

“…I mean… what’s that? That fruit… isn’t it mine?”

“Fr-Fruit? O-Oh, um, this!? Y-Yes, that’s right… I’m sorry, Milch Sensei said she wanted to eat it, so I had it sent from home.”

“…Your family runs a farm? And it’s a Meromeron farm?”

“Huh? Y-Yes, we’re not exactly a farm, but it’s one of our businesses.”

Damn it… That wasn’t written in the original. And why is she showing it off to me like that?

Of course, if you show a sick person a fruit, they’d want to eat it.

Can I be a little selfish and ask for it? But if it’s Milch Sensei’s food… I’ll be killed for sure.

Certainly killed.

“Hey, Weiss, there’s a difference between doing good things and bad things, right? Die.”

Like that? No, but this is considered a good thing, right?

The demon whispers. I don’t want to die. But I want to eat it.

“…Melomelon. If I cut it in half, maybe it won’t be noticeable? It’s so big that it might go unnoticed.”

“Huh? Weiss, do you want to eat it?”

“…No, I just want to have a little taste.”

“I see, but Milch Sensei will get angry…”

“That’s why it’s only half. If it doesn’t get noticed, it’s fine, right?”

“But if you really want to eat it, Weiss-kun, I’ll consider it…”

Is she serious or just being naive?

I can’t read anything from her face. It’s obvious that I want to eat it, right?

Can’t she tell from my usual attitude? Damn, being insensitive is troublesome at times.

“…I want to eat—”

“Weiss, how’s your condition?”

At that moment, Milch Sensei forcefully opened the door.

Moreover, she’s holding something in her hand. This is my room, but well, never mind that, did she hear what I said just now?

“Ee-eek!? Y-You’re fine, right!?”

I unintentionally reply with a raised voice.

Karta greets with a bow, and then—

“Well then, I’ll cut Weiss-kun’s half.”

“Huh, huh? Eat it, right? Melomelon?”

“What do you mean, Weiss? Isn’t this what I asked for?”

“Well, um, but Weiss-kun said he wanted to eat half.”

“Huh? N-No, I didn’t!?”

Karta, why would you—?

“Hehehe, just kidding. From the beginning, this is Weiss-kun’s.”

“Huh? What, what do you mean?”

“I set this up. I’ve seen you eat several times and know you’re crazy about fruits. I knew you would say you wanted to eat it.”

“…How mean.”

Harsh, sad, and cold.

“This is my way of cheering you up. Karta, let me do it. Weiss, say ‘ahh.'”

“Huh, uh, okay! Sensei, you’re so daring!”

…Seriously? Milch Sensei did this…?

Like peeling an apple in a sickroom…?

“Now, the crushed pieces are the easiest to eat.”

Milch Sensei takes out a stick from somewhere.

Instead of destroying the melomelon like splitting a watermelon, she stops just before it and uses the air pressure to cut it neatly in half.

Sky Slashing Airy, Milch Sensei’s specialty move.

“Weiss, open your mouth.”

“Huh, uh, okay.”

“Weiss-kun, melomelon is delicious!”

“Ah, ah, aah, aah.”

And so, while feeling uncertain whether I’m being pranked, I eat the fruit that was brought to my mouth.

Milch Sensei’s “ahh.”

This wasn’t in the original. The best change, the best unpublished scene.

If I put this in a fan disc, the sales would double, no, triple.

And the melomelon itself… It’s delicious.

“Amazing…”

Noblesse Academy’s philosophy is to give both rewards and punishments.

This must be the power of a forced world.

After something bad happens, something good follows.

That’s an unshakable fact.

Seriously… Candy-sama reigns supreme.

“Can… Can I have another bite?”

“Sure, just eat without making a mess.”

“Ba-bubs-kun, you’re good at this!”

Just for today, I’ll accept being called “Ba-bubs.”

But Karta, you’re underestimating me. And it’s not “ba-bubs.”

Once I recover, I’ll start special training again to become even stronger.

I’ll learn more magic and surpass Milch Sensei in swordsmanship.

I want to become strong enough to defeat Eva Avery too.

In preparation for the upcoming Demon Lord, I’ll keep my eyes ahead—only ahead.

…

…

Dormitory for intermediate students, Eva Avery’s room.

Her room is three times bigger than Weiss Vincent’s room and is filled with valuable paintings.

Every single one of them is something any art enthusiast would crave.

But Eva collected them during the period she was obsessed with art.

When she gets into something, she goes straight for it.

Eva Avery became the strongest by aiming to become the world’s strongest.

Noblesse Academy was just a passing point for her, but it was a boring life for her.

Fighting, monsters, dragons—all just child’s play to her.
Boring, boring, it was so boring…

…until Weiss appeared.

“Hehehe, hehehe.”

Lying on her bed in a negligee, Eva gazed at the magical photograph.

It showed Alan and Weiss, beaten and unconscious after battling a dragon.

Both were shirtless, covered in blood, and… their nipples were visible.

While looking at it, Eva felt… excited.

“Oh, this is great. Very nice. So splendid… to have such an excellent combination in the academy…”

Eva Avery holds the highest points ever at Noblesse Academy.

However, she purposely skipped classes when she was on the verge of reaching S-class, reducing her points.

She had one reason for doing that, to maintain this comfortable accommodation.

There was no one else who could do such a thing, neither before nor after her.

But still, she was getting tired of the academy. When she was considering leaving and going for a vacation in the south, she met Weiss.

Full of motivation, noble, and most of all, greedy, that was Weiss.

And… full of motivation, straightforward, and filled with justice, that was Alan.

This combination of opposites but similarities became the best… delight for her.

“Oh… it’s so good.”

Eva has no interest in the opposite sex.

What interests her is the interactions between men.

The biggest reason for considering dropping out of the academy was the lack of good combinations.

But with the appearance of Alan and Weiss, her world changed.

Even if one of them was missing, Eva’s emotions wouldn’t be aroused.

If Weiss had remained lazy as in the original story, it wouldn’t have come this far.

Weiss’s efforts, his conviction, moved her heart.

Now, should it be Weiss × Alan, or Alan × Weiss? She was pondering which one would be better.

And now, everything she desired has come true.

Even if others consider it absolutely impossible.

Fun, fun, it’s so much fun.

But…

“…I don’t like it when they get along too well.”

She wants them to be at odds with each other, to exchange insults, to reach the pinnacle of their mutual aversion, and yet, she wants them to be together.

Eva Avery is a pure pervert.

“I wonder what I should do, should I come up with something? I want to see them fighting.”

This is the biggest change, and neither Alan nor Weiss know about it yet.
