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 - 104

Chapter 104 – Abort

Next, I was guided to the cafeteria.

It wasn’t larger than Noblsse’s Academy, and with its wooden theme, it didn’t appear particularly new. However, I couldn’t help but envy the presence of traditional Japanese sweets like anmitsu and dango.

Or rather…

“These dango are delicious…”

“They’re my favorite. The only thing I haven’t shown you is probably the students’ rooms.”

Since they mentioned that I could eat them right away, I accepted.

The dango had a delightful chewy texture. I wonder if Noblesse’s Academy would ever have these.

The underground training room wasn’t much different. Well, it was just for combat, so it wouldn’t change much.

As I finished eating, Tula brought me a cup of warm tea. Of course, it was in a teacup.

“Here, this is also recommended.”

“Thank you.”

Sipping it, the mild warmth flowed down my throat into my stomach.

“It’s quite a treat.”

“Haha, I didn’t make it, but I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

Tula had a beaming smile.

What was the deal with calling me a “vandal” at the beginning?

Could it be that she’s also a “Chuunibyou”?

“Is there something on my face?”

“…Nothing. More importantly, I wanted to ask, is your attribute Wind? If you’d rather not say, that’s okay.”

Many characters in the original work haven’t revealed their attributes. It makes sense because it stimulates speculation.

But I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Her techniques, her spells, and her unwavering efforts made it clear.

“That’s right. Lord Weiss, is yours… Darkness? Or perhaps Light?”

“Well, I mainly use that one, but I can use Light as well. I can use the remaining four attributes too.”

“Huh? Four attributes… Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, right? And Darkness and Light as well?”

“That’s right.”

Tula looked puzzled.

She’s really beautiful.

But she burst into laughter immediately.

Later, as she wiped away her tears, she spoke.

“Hahaha, you’re something else. It’s no wonder you’ve only taken my attacks.”

In the original story, she was a character who believed that “the best defense is a good offense.” Sierra had Wind and Light attributes, which seemed to complement her weak point in long-range combat.

Hmmm, Wind attribute does seem the most appealing, doesn’t it…?

Then, as I finished eating, Tula picked up the plate.

“Excuse me.”

After that, she bowed her head fervently to the cafeteria lady and said, “Thank you for the meal.”

…She’s a good girl.

I remembered that she was described as earnest in the original work.

Well, it certainly feels that way.

“Oh, and thanks. Thanks for the meal.”

By the way, Tula treated me to the meal. I felt sorry about it from start to finish.

When I thanked her, she turned crimson but didn’t face me directly.

“Don’t worry about it! N-next time.”

“Alright.”

Come to think of it, where were we going next?

“This way. Be careful where you step.”

We crossed the corridor, opened a few doors, and moved forward.

It was still winter, a bit chilly, but the snow had already stopped falling.

Before I realized it, we had crossed several buildings.

Then, Tula stopped in front of a door, opened it, and said, “Please come in. I don’t think it’s messy, but…”

“Huh?”

Saying that, I stepped inside. I could catch a faint scent of a woman.

In there were a modest but somewhat cheerful futon, pink pajamas, and a goblin stuffed animal.

Wait, is this…?

“This is my room. What do you think? It’s not very spacious, though.”

Come to think of it, she mentioned it was a student’s room.

What do I think…?

“It’s beautiful.”

“Hehehe, r-really? It’s the first time I’ve had a… gentleman in here. I-I’m a bit embarrassed!”

As she said that, Tula, seemingly embarrassed, stumbled and almost fell. I instinctively reached out to grab her, but we both ended up tumbling onto the futon.

“Are you alright?”

“I-I mean… even if I were… a polygamous marriage…”

With flushed cheeks, crimson ears, and eyes closed, Tula…

“Now, let’s go back.”

“Huh? Lord Weiss!?”

I am Weiss Vincent. I’m sorry, but I’m not looking for a romantic comedy.

Well, I wavered for just a moment…

However, we soon left the room, and in the courtyard, a crowd had gathered. Sierra and Eva were there too.

“Weiss! Where were you?”

“I was touring. Is the greeting finished?”

“There seems to be some trouble.”

“Trouble?”

Eva, who had been fiddling with her hair next to me, spoke up.

“They say they can’t contact the Aria Magic Academy. And there have been reports of demon-like creatures in the vicinity.”

“Demon-like creatures?”

At that moment, Milch Sensei pushed her way through the crowd.

“The social gathering has been canceled. It seems the students from the remaining schools are also turning back.”

Unbelievable. No, in the original story, the social gathering went ahead as planned. In other words, it’s an alteration.

“What about the Aria Magic Academy?”

“There’s been no communication from the messenger birds. But everyone coming here is among the top of their grades. There should be a teacher accompanying them, so I think there’s no need to worry.”

Demon-like creatures becoming active means that demons in this world may be planning something somewhere. Perhaps… the story is progressing faster than I imagined?

“Sorry, but stay here in Noblesse’s Academy. I’ll arrange for a carriage. I don’t think it’s necessary, but I’ll assign guards as well.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m an adventurer as well. Subduing the demon-like creatures is now a matter of great importance.”

“So, you’re going to confront them?”

“I don’t know if they’re really here or not.”

No doubt. In the original story, the demon-like creatures became a priority for adventurers around the time Alan advanced to the second year, around the summer. In other words, it’s happening at least six months earlier.

…Noblesse’s Academy keeps on defying my expectations.

But, of course…

“Milch Sensei, I’m going too.”

“No, it’s not allowed. If something happens to a student like you, it’ll be my responsibility.”

“I’m an adventurer too. From this point on, I’ll act on my own. If you try to stop me, I’ll follow you.”

To my words, Milch Sensei glared at me. However, she understood that I wouldn’t listen and softened her expression a little.

There’s a lot we don’t know about the demon-like creatures. If there’s a chance to gain some information, we should seize it.

“I won’t help you if something happens.”

“I’ll be fine.”

But, naturally, not just me, even Sierra and Eva…

“I’m going too, Sensei. I’ve been enjoying seeing these demon-like creatures recently.”

“Of course, I’m going too. I hold an adventurer’s qualification, and Weiss would want me to come, right?”

“Huh? Oh, yes.”

“Hehehe, I can’t help it.”

Eva always prioritizes her own desires. But even for her, demon-like creatures seem interesting, and she flies around to get eyewitness reports.

Well, it’s a relief that she’s coming. If Sierra is with us, everything should be fine.

“I’m going too.”

Then, a voice came from behind.

A resolute, unwavering voice.

I turned around, and there stood Tula.

But Milch Sensei strongly opposed her. It’s dangerous. However…

“It’s only natural to eliminate those causing trouble for people.”

She answered firmly. Yeah, that’s right. Tula is similar to Alan. She loves peace and hates conflict.

That’s why Tula fell for Allen and followed him.

If she’s going to go on her own no matter what…

In that case…

“Tula is an adventurer too. She’s aware of the danger.”

My words surprised Tula, but she knew from the original story.

Milch Sensei sighed and gave in.

“…Be careful, and don’t overdo it. Especially you, Eva. I acknowledge your strength, but try to keep up with the others.”

“Yes, I understand.”

With this formidable lineup, there’s no need to worry.

Still, we shouldn’t let our guard down. While it’s not in the original story for the Aria Magic Academy to be attacked, we don’t know what will happen.

But no matter what kind of enemy we face, I will win.

“We’ll follow the route to the Aria Magic Academy. To conserve magic power, we won’t fly but run. Don’t fall behind.”

And so, we hurriedly set out to pursue the demon-like creatures as adventurers.
