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 - 131

131 Swordsmanship Secrets

In Noblesse Academy, the first class starts around 8 in the morning. Due to the high number of dorm residents, it’s common for everyone to gather in the classrooms.

As the students progress to the intermediate levels, there are elective classes, and in such cases, classes may begin more leisurely around 10.

But for me—Weiss Fancent, mornings start early.

Depending on the bedtime, I’m running around the outer gates at five in the morning. After that, I repeat muscle training and exercises to increase magical power.

Finally, I meditate in my room.

Balancing mind and body is crucial for becoming stronger.

During one of those morning runs, I spotted Tula.

By the way, she’s still wearing a hakama. I heard her school uniform arrived, but it seems she prefers changing only to the extent where it won’t upset anyone.

Once in the classroom, she started changing with shouts like “Aaah!” until Karta hurriedly stopped her. I don’t understand it well, but she must have an impatient nature.

And Tula is also running.

Having transferred from Duran, she probably understands the importance of basic training more than anyone else.

Fighting within the context of magic requires exceptional skills. Like Duke, the key is to enter the opponent’s territory and then start.

In her case, invisible slashes support her, but of course, we’re not fools. We defend against various attacks and also chant spells that the opponent would find unpleasant.

But she’s strong.

Tula is genuinely strong.

And although we don’t explicitly say it, we probably all think it was a really good thing she joined us.

In the outside world, there are many who wield swords.

She’s the reason we can practice that.

Well, more than anything, her personality might be saving us.

Always positive and cheerful, even during the sports festival, she knows how to enjoy everything with full energy.

I respect her.

“Ehehehe—Ha!? Huu!”

However, at the moment, she seemed strangely cautious of her surroundings.

I instinctively hid.

Well, I don’t know why she did that, but somehow.

At that moment, the sound of wheels reached us.

…Is that a supply wagon?

In Noblesse, they import things from the outside if you request. Food, perfumes, sweets—some even order things from their hometown.

Of course, it comes at a considerable cost, but most of them are nobles. Nobody cares about the expenses.

However, it’s more common to order things in bulk.

But why is someone doing this alone so early in the morning?

… A sword or something special?

“Sorry for the wait, Tula-san.――Got some good stuff here.”

“Hey, your voice is too loud! So, how many?”

“Ten, no, there are twenty.”

“Hehehe, hehehe. Good job. ――Are they all good?”

“All top-quality.”

“Hehehe, you’ve done well! Umm, please keep it a secret.”

“Of course. Please favor us again…”

Tula received a large wooden box and displayed a triumphant smile.

Instantly, I remembered.

She had been steadily accumulating points.

Top-quality? Good stuff?

No way, is it dope… No, that can’t be it. Tula wouldn’t do something like that.

Moreover, there’s no way such a thing would be available at Noblesse.

But――.

“Hehehe, with this, hehehe.”

With the wooden box in her arms, Tula returned to the dorm with a delighted smile.

“Well, anything goes.”

And that day, Tula scored the highest in the exams.

◇

Forgetting such events one day, I went to the girls’ dorm.

I don’t usually visit, but I had to return something Cynthia forgot in my room.

Entering the dorm itself is fine with permission.

Looking out the window from the corridor, I noticed a slightly different view than usual.

“Just changing positions can make things different.”

And then, at that moment, I was bumped into from behind.

“Huh? Nuoo!? Eeek!”

“Eh? Ahahahaha.”

Apparently, she was carrying a large wooden box, and its contents scattered. I felt something soft hit my face.

“Ugh… Lord Weiss!?”

“…That voice, Tula?”

Rather than her voice, I felt something soft. She wasn’t wearing it.

I tried to open my eyes, but for some reason, Tula covered them with her hands.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Wait, don’t open them yet!”

“…Why?”

“Stop it! It’s still not okay!?”

Then, I heard a child’s voice.

I have permission to be in this building, but the current situation is bad.

Trying to quickly move away, Tula was genuinely not letting go of my hands.

“Hey, Tula!?”

“W-wait a moment! Umm, how about coming to my room!?”

“Huh!?”

“Please, it’s the mercy of a samurai!”

… Is it really that big of a deal? Do they have this concept of samurai?

But if it’s brought up to that extent, I have no choice but to evacuate for now.

And I enter the room being pushed like, “Who is it?” “Is it Tula-chan?”

But the next moment, she shouts, “Wait!,” and the door opens again with a thud.

No, I can hear Tula picking up something outside.

I cautiously open my eyes.

Feeling a bit guilty.

It was a very spacious room.

I already have points, so it’s a Class C, a single room.

No, more importantly… is this… could it be…

At that moment, the door opens vigorously.

“H-Hello, Lord Weiss, don’t open your eyes—Aaaah!?”

“For a samurai, your emotions are quite intense.”

“I-I will commit seppuku. It’s over.”

“Wait, wait, I’m not thinking anything.”

“Really? Do you really not think anything? Even though you’re a samurai, don’t you think so?”

“By the way, you’re not a samurai. Ah, really, I’m not thinking anything.”

My voice trembles slightly.

Because in front of me, lining the entire wall, there are fluffy stuffed animals.

Goblin dolls, strange monster-like creatures, and even horses, cows, pigs—deformed, cute, fluffy things are lined up.

Ah, so that’s what was in the wooden box the other day. Glancing at the floor, I see several stuffed animals scattered.

I see, she didn’t want me to see this.

“That’s not something to hide.”

I speak to Tula, who’s half in tears.

She starts talking quietly.

“I’ve been living in a world full of men since I was a child. So, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not. But… I like them.”

Oh, right, that was the case.

Well, but…

“I think it’s fine. These dolls, especially the one that looks like Devi, is cute, isn’t it?”

“I-Is that true!? Th-That one is a limited edition from the Ryuwe region, made by a famous craftsman!”

“Ha, you’re quite an otaku, more than I thought. Well, unexpectedly, huh.”

The Tula I know, or rather, the one in the original story, was only interested in Allen and had a manly vibe.

People can’t be understood with just one side.

And talking about stuffed animals, Tula looked quite childish and cute.

It must have taken a lot of courage for her to come to Noblesse alone.

For her, it was an important source of comfort.

So, this is her stuffed animal doping.

No, that way of saying it is a bit harsh.

It’s more like a best friend.

“Thank you. I had fun talking. I should go soon.”

“Ah, ah! I’m sorry. I talked too much… If you like, take this doll, Lord Weiss! It’s cute like Devi!”

“…That’s true. I’ll graciously accept it.”

It was a nice surprise. And a good undisclosed side of her.

Hmm, it was a good day…

“Tula-san, it’s time for the next class—”

Appearing at the perfect time is the main heroine of this game, Cynthia Violetta.

And she’s my fiancée.

No, let’s stay calm. First, let’s stay calm, calmly.

For calmness… won’t happen, right?

After taking a deep breath, I speak.

“Calm down and listen, Cynthia.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“First of all, this was just an accident.”

“I see.”

“Th-that’s right, Cynthia-san!? There are a few misunderstandings! I was trying to give her the dolls!?”

Hey, Tula, isn’t that skipping too much!?

“I see, I see.”

“For now, should we change the location? My fiancée, and beloved Cynthia.”

“I see, I see, I see.”

I’m pretty capable, even in situations like this. I’ve managed to get through a few. Those who have been through such situations have a certain intuition. That intuition is telling me that I might get frozen here.

“Ice Absolute Zero Ice Entrios.”

That day, I became the first man to understand the feelings of the ice in the refrigerator.

“I see, so that’s what happened. I also like dolls, Tula-san.”

“Lillith… do you have a hot water bottle?”

“Yes, here it is! Lord Weiss!”

“Thank you, it would be nice if you could say that to Cynthia-san. Sorry for various things, Lord Weiss.”

“Yeah. Lillith, do you have some warm tea?”

“Yes, of course, Lord Weiss!”

A few hours later, I was getting my body warmed by Lillith in Tula’s room.

Cynthia also understood, so we were all peacefully talking.

“I also like dolls, so if it’s alright, would you like to go buy them together next time? It’s almost summer vacation in Estarm.”

“Is that okay?”

“Of course. Right, Lillith?”

“Yes! I love them too!”

“I see. …I’m happy. Looking forward to it.”

In the original story, Cynthia and Tula were romantic rivals and didn’t get along that well. That’s why it was nice to see them talking like this.

There are bad changes, but there are also good changes. I’ve come to strongly understand that.

“Lillith, do you have any layered clothing?”

“Yes, we have some!”

Also, I now understand the feelings of ice.
