The Genius and Calamity of the Villainous Noble: A Brilliant Prodigy Unaware of Their Reincarnation as the Game's Antagonist Defies the Scenario and Dominates with Talent and Hard Work - Chapter 1.13
“Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
Back in my room after leaving my father’s study, I collapsed onto the floor, placing my hands on the ground and tilting my head back toward the heavens as I screamed, my entire body trembling with frustration.
“Wh-what!? Ark-sama, what’s wrong?! Why are you shouting like that in such a strange position!?”
“…Because I’ve lost all hope in the world,” I replied flatly.
Stopping my scream, I stood up abruptly and answered Marina’s panicked question.
“I… I can’t keep up with your mood swings!” Marina exclaimed, still trying to process my behavior.
“Heh… If I don’t do something ridiculous, I won’t be able to handle this. That damn old man…”
My father had once again burdened me with an outrageous demand.
Couldn’t he give some of these impossible tasks to my other siblings for a change?
“What kind of unreasonable task did he give you this time? No matter what it is, I’m sure Ark-sama will handle it! You’ve already succeeded in reviving a failing trading company, after all!”
Marina’s smile beamed with complete confidence, her faith in me shining like the sun.
“This time, he wants me to head south and kill the Chaos Dragon.”
“…”
At my words, Marina’s radiant smile froze, her expression hardening like stone.
“So, what do you think?”
“Uh, well…”
Marina hesitated, her body trembling slightly as she tried to find the right words.
“I-I think that if it’s Ark-sama, you can handle it just fine…?”
“Do you really believe that?”
“…”
Marina’s eyes darted away, avoiding mine.
“See! Even you think this is impossible!!!”
“T-that’s not true! There’s nothing Ark-sama can’t do! Yes, that’s it! Just wait here—I’ll grab everything we need for training right now! Together, we’ll become strong enough to defeat the Chaos Dragon, no matter what!”
With those words, Marina dashed out of my room.
…Wait, what? Wasn’t that a little too fast?
