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 - 152

152 – Ball

On the final day, the next morning.

Running along the seaside.

Under the sun, it’s not bad to train your legs while listening to the gentle waves of the uninhabited island.

Last night was tough.

Luckily, we were able to sleep quietly.

Well, I’m a bit sleep-deprived since I was with Cynthia and Lilith.

At that moment, something is visible from the waves.

An illusion… is it an illusion?

Some underclassmen brats…

…Is this a joke?

“We’ve arrived, Meril.”

“Berg, I thought I was going to die…”

“Haa, I want to take a bath—Vice-senpai!? What are you doing!? Is it training from the morning!? Cool!”

Please, now is a precious calm time. Don’t disturb the waves…

◇

“This curry is the best! Uh, is this Vice-senpai and others’ homemade dish!? Amazing!”

“Cynthia-senpai, you’re beautiful today too!”

Meril and Berg are eagerly devouring the curry. Cynthia is smiling gently, but I feel like she’s sweating a bit on her cheek.

I see, even she has her limits.

Well, I should probably let her know.

“Cut it out, you guys.”

“Huh?”

“Huh!?”

“Sure, we owe you for helping us before, but we also have private time. What about the typhoon, by the way?”

“We managed somehow…”

“With magic resistance…”

The two of them looked downhearted; really, these geniuses.

Even so, they are still kids. I’ll have to tell them.

Phew…

“Next time, just let us know if you want to join. If it’s not possible, it’s not possible, but don’t follow us without permission.”

“U-understood! Sorry!”

“Sorry…”

Seeing that, Cynthia touched Meril’s shoulder.

“It can’t be helped. Let’s be more careful next time.”

“Yes, Cynthia-senpai… sorry. I was talking with Berg; if something happens again, we might regret it.”

“I see. But both I and Vice are really grateful. We worry because you two are the ones who might make a wrong move.”

“Sorry…”

Really, they are good at listening but bad at behaving.

Well, maybe they don’t have many people to talk to.

It was the same before; being too much of a genius creates a barrier.

“By the way, you guys should join too.”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

A few dozen minutes later, we were holding soft sticks along the seaside.

We changed back into swimsuits.

Berg in swim trunks, Meril in a pink swimsuit with frills. These guys… are they full of playfulness?

“Excuse us!”

Then, spinning in the air, Berg in swim trunks swung the stick.

Even though I tried to catch it with one hand— it’s heavy.

“Amazing! As expected!”

“Hah, you damn monkey.”

“Lilith, come at me.”

“Yes—Cynthia-san.”

“Alan, today we’ll settle it!”

“I’m ready!”

In the end, since we had gathered, we were training.

Even though we won against the demons, it was quite challenging.

Every minute and second must not be wasted.

This area really feels like Noblesse.

After crushing Berg, in front of me stood Olin.

“It’s been a while since I fought with you.”

“Maybe. Hey— are you serious?”

“Yeah, come on.”

As if the top of my head had suddenly flown away, Olin attacked while facing the sun.

Not hesitating, I averted my gaze reflexively. But since I’m watching through the flow of magic, I took the attack with the stick.

Hah, it’s considerably heavier than before.

The summoned monster inherits the abilities of the master.

In the recent demon battle, it seems he operated ten advanced monsters and sent them to me.

It’s an unbelievable story. How much work did he do for that?

But at that moment…

“Huh, Olin, when did you…”

“Hehe. I’ll do my best— I want to protect everyone.”

Suddenly, low-grade monsters on the uninhabited island, probably more than twenty, rushed at once.

The damage from their attacks isn’t significant. However, their talents are tremendous.

Hah, Olin. Maybe you’re the one who has grown the most.

At first glance, he seems to be just a trap, but underneath it all, he’s filled with a sense of justice like Alan.

“But winning against me might be impossible.”

I repelled all the monsters.

Rather than being surprised, Olin smiled.

Surprisingly, you might be the closest to me.

Since Berg and Meril arrived, everyone was even more full of smiles. Bottomless energy suits Noblesse well.

“Weiss, let’s go in.”

“Yeah. You look good, Cynthia.”

“Hehe, thank you.”

As night fell, I finished preparing, and Cynthia called out to me. Opening the door, she was wearing the same pure white dress as when we first met. It was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but be captivated.

Slowly approaching, I knelt down and kissed the back of her hand.

“Shall we go, Cynthia?”

“Yes, Weiss.”

“Lord Weiss, Cynthia-san. Everyone is already gathered!”

With that, standing up, Lilith took my hand. She also wore a beautiful dress similar to Cynthia’s.

“Lilith, it suits you.”

“Hehe, it’s my first time wearing a dress!”

Crossing several corridors, we finally reached the ballroom. Although there was no music, we could still make use of it. Let’s enjoy it to the fullest.

“Hey Weiss, you look good.”

“Indeed, but aren’t we looking quite handsome too?”

“Hah, dressing up suits us.”

Alan, Duke, and even Sherry looked good in their black tailcoats. Sherry wore a white and yet elegant dress. Truly nobles, accustomed to such occasions.

Tura surprisingly wore a black dress, behaving appropriately.

“V-Vice-kun, here’s your drink.”

“Thanks, Karta. It’s a nice color.”

“Huh!? Hehe, I’m glad.”

Karta’s dress was red and had a nice transparency.

Then Cynthia started dancing with Lilith. It wasn’t a formal social event, and there was no need for gender distinctions.

Cecil danced with Alan. Hah, it’s like the final scenes of the original work.

Duke was with Sherry, unexpectedly good.

And…

“Karta, I’m not very good, but how about it?”

“Eh, umm!? Is it okay…?”

Karta was surprised, her cheeks blushing, stealing a glance at Cynthia. But I forcibly took her hand.

“Don’t mind it. There’s no way I’d get angry over something like that.”

“W-Wah!?”

While dancing, I spoke to Karta.

“Thanks, Karta.”

“Eh?”

“Thanks to you, I’ve been helped in many ways.”

“…I also.”

Everything started with Karta. Without her, I couldn’t have fought against Eva on equal terms or defeated the dragon.

I am growing.

But with just my power alone, I probably can’t clear the game.

I don’t intend to waste time on unnecessary familiarity, but I should keep that in mind.

“Olin-san, your legs are still unsteady.”

“W-Wah.”

Beside me, I heard Olin and Cecil’s voices. But I didn’t turn my gaze. Whether it’s a dress or a tailcoat, once I see it, it becomes fixed.

Like Schrödinger’s cat.

Let everything remain a mystery.

“Berg. You’re stepping on my foot.”

“Eh, ah, sorry!?”

“But you’ve gotten better than before.”

“Really? Thanks.”

“Why does the way you say that sound condescending?”

“W-Why!?”

It would be nice if these underclassmen stuck with these guys.

Now the candy is almost over.

Exams have started, and things will get busy.

I need to decide which attribute to focus on next.

“Weiss, your hand.”

“Yeah.”

And finally, I danced with Cynthia. Duke started singing, and Alan followed suit. There was Sherry.

Truly, an amusing trio.

“Cynthia, I will protect you. So, stay by my side from now on.”

“Yes, anywhere for you. For your sake.”

Truly, I don’t dislike the candy of Noblesse Oblige.
