Ah, I rembered!
Im the villain aristocrat.
It all ca clear to now.
That this world is a fantasy world of a certain light novel.
And Im not the hero of it.(E/N: Protagonist.)
I just noticed this fact.
So, what do I do now?
Luke, is sothing wrong?
Just thinking about so things.
Is that so? Your al is getting cold, so dont overdo it.
Oh damn, seriously.
How is this possible?
Uwaa, what am I gonna do?
What kind of story was it argh, that sucks, I cant rember.
I vaguely rembered the characters.
And that was about it.
Im sorry, Mother. Im feeling a little under the weather, may I rest in my room?
I had no more spare ti to eat.
Right now, I would like to use the ti I have to understand the current situation.
Huh? Are you all right, Luke? Call the priest imdiately
No need. Im just feeling a bit tired.
I hope so If you feel sothing is wrong, tell right away.
I will.
Luke.
Yes, Father.
Are you sure youre okay?
Yes. Im not lying.
Right, take so rest. Alfred, let know right away if theres anything unusual.
Understood, Sir.
Sigh My parents are as overprotective as always.
Thinking so, I walked to my room with my butler, Alfred.
I see.
So this creates the character of Luke.
I have all these mories of what Ive been through as Luke, but I dont rember anyone being angry at at all.
A prodigy that can do almost anything, anyti.
A family environnt where no matter how bad I was, there was no one that would scold .
No wonder his self-esteem was so high.
And he was arrogant and irreverent, too.
To be honest, I have to say that this environnt has built up this guys personality.
Well then, Master Luke. Please let know if there is anything I can do for you.
Ah.
Having Alfred stand in front of the door and I went in.
And dived straight into bed.
Burying my face in the pillow, I let my thoughts wander.
So, what do I do now?
How should I proceed from this point on?
Lets think about the future for a while.
But no matter how much I thought about it, there was only one answer.
My goal is to be happy.
It doesnt help that Im already a villain as Luke.
The main character will probably beat up anyway.
Whats his na again, the heros?
Argh, I cant rember..
Maybe Ill rember it in ti.
Anyway, I want to live a happy life.
I want my life to have a happy ending.
And luckily, Im an aristocrat.
So I wont be having any trouble with money.
Though.
Doing nothing is boring.
Its such a fantasy world.
Theres no way I can resist the intense desire to fully enjoy swords and magic.
At that mont, a thought suddenly ca into my head.
Yes. Lets make an effort.
As I recall, the character of Luke never really made much of an effort at all.
Actually, there was no need for him to make any effort.
Luke from the beginning possessed the ability that people acquired through hard work.
So no one ever complained about his character, even if he was the ultimate in arrogance and irreverence.
Truly a haughty character.
Well, thats what makes him a hated character.
They exist only to collect hate and to make the reader satisfied when the hero smacks them in the face.
Sigh, I dont want that to happen though.
But it looks interesting.
Characters who are not supposed to make an effort work hard.
Im a little curious to see what changes it will bring to this world.
Well, lets try to do it in moderation.
Anyway, my current age is 10.
I have a talent for magic, I will probably go to a magic school in the Royal Capital at 15 if everything goes in order.
This is what Lukes mory tells .
But sohow I feel like Im going to et him when I go to that school.
By him, I an the protagonist.
Well, whatever.
The desire to learn about magic has overtaken the desire to see the protagonist by a comfortable margin.
Besides, I think in a world like this, strength is directly related to freedom.
The stronger you are, the more options you have.
For that reason, the sooner I start learning magic, the better.
But Ive got five years to enroll.
So, what do I do now?
Until then, should I study on my own or find soone to teach ?
Ah, I also need to learn about swords.
Its not just magic Ive to be proficient in.
Co to think of it, which one is this character, or rather, which one am I better at?
I know Im talented in both, but isnt it too biased?
Hmm, I cant rember at all.
My mories are not worth relying on at this mont.
So better learn both for now.
Then, if I find myself to be good at sothing, I can focus on that.
Guess the roadmap is sohow clear fufufu, its going to be interesting!
I cant help but talk to myself.
Thats right, Im looking forward to it.
At first I was confused, but deep in my heart a fla was burning with passion.
I cant stop being excited.
Its impossible not to enjoy this world.
Knock, knock.
There was a knock at the door.
My burning passion quickly switched to cool ones.
Master Luke, how are you feeling? My apologies, Sir, your father has asked to check on you and report back to him.
Yeah, Im fine.
I replied back a little grumpily, my thoughts being watered down.
Hmm, wait.
I opened the door with a bang.
Alfred -an?
Sothing is not right
Al fred.
What is it, Master Luke?
Honorifics are not good.
I was going to say Alfred-san.
Its normal to use honorifics for people older than you.
But I cant use it.
No, to be exact.
I have a strong sense of theres no need to use honorifics for a re butler at the base of my being.
Whats this?
Does this an Lukes nature is still there?
I looked at Alfred again.
A face wrinkled with age.
But he was graceful and, to put it bluntly, handso.
His physique had never weakened.
Im sure thats true, too.
Alfred is a man who used to be the deputy commander of the Royal Knights.
I rembered that earlier.
I thought it would be best for to learn swordsmanship from him.
But can I say that.
How am I supposed to ask a butler to teach ?
Id rather die than do sothing so shaful.
Ha?
What an irresistible and intense feeling.
Damn, why do I have to go through all this trouble just to ask him to teach a sword?
Alfred, can you
Ggggggg Damn, Im speechless!
Just a little more!
Can youuuu
Dahhhh!!!!
Can youuuuuuuuuu!
How can I help you, Master Luke! Huh! Are you not feeling well?
Nooooooo!
I yelled out.
I could feel the sweat pouring out of my body.
My eyes were probably bloodshot too.
Haah haah.
No, I cant ask.
No matter how much I wanted to ask, I couldnt find the words.
Whats this curse?
It sucks.
Am I just going to be the Arrogant Luke no matter how hard I try?
No, Ive to change my thinking.
Teach the way of sword.
I said it!
I managed to say it by making it imperative!
Alfred-san, Im so sorry!
I know!
I know Ive caused you a lot of trouble in my life!
Im so sorry!
I got down on my knees, at least in my mind.
Forgive ? What did you just say?
Didnt you hear ?
Alfred-san!!
Its too hard to say it again!
Well, Ill do it.
As many tis as it takes to learn the sword.
Teach sword!
No, excuse . I am an old man, and I doubted my own ears.
Haah haah I see.
I waited quietly for a response.
Alfred-san seed to be thinking about sothing.
But please, please dont say no.
Im trying so hard to resist, but I dont know what Id do if you said no.
really sucks.
Seriously, what is this curse?
Yes, sir. If its all right with , Id be happy to serve in that capacity.
I managed to get his approval.
Good.
But I cant thank him now.
Im afraid if I open my mouth, Im going to say sothing hateful, so I have to remain mute.
Im so sorry, Alfred.
Thinking, I thank him from the bottom of my heart.
Haah
Will there ever be a happy ending for who cant even say thank you?
