Please be sure to check out the afterword as well!!!
“Lord Hal. My B Lunch duck roast is quite delicious, you know.”
“Harold! The C Lunch fish poêlé is amazing, you should try it!”
Hello, Harold here.
Today, things are quite chaotic here in the Royal Academy cafeteria.
Ever since Despina enrolled in the Royal Academy, those two just haven’t stopped fighting. I wish they’d consider what it’s like for me, getting dragged into it every single time.
“Pfft, hehehe. Prince Harold, you have a lovely lady on each arm, don’t you?”
“Shut up.”
Monica laughed without a shred of concern for her master, despite being my personal maid. I really wish she’d learn the meaning of consideration and tact already.
“But still, Hal-san, what are your thoughts on the matter? His Majesty the previous king kept three women, including his mistresses. Oh, if you’re not eating that Meat, I’ll take it.”
“Hey!?”
Just when I thought she was asking an innocent question, Liliana brazenly snatched my Meat without permission. As you know, she’s the protagonist of ‘Galhaza’.
She doesn’t need to target my Meat specifically; Cardis, Raphael, or even Owen would surely provide her with heaps of it if she just asked.
“Still, I just want to eat lunch in peace for once.”
But my mutterings fell on deaf ears. It seems I have no choice but to accept this clamor again today.
Just as I was hanging my head in resignation…
“Yo, Harold! Fancy meeting you here!”
The one who appeared was, of course, Huang Yuanzhang. His voice is as loud as ever.
Beside him, his attendant, Lin Shukuei, was bowing.
“Ah, right. About that thing I borrowed from you earlier, it was quite good… however, personally, I find NTR a bit hard to accept.”
“Hmph… To not understand the appeal of NTR, you still have much to learn.”
Yuanzhang and I began a conversation brimming with our peculiar tastes. Those around us seemed unable to grasp the meaning of the word, wearing puzzled expressions. Of course, the heroines don’t need to know.
“Whoa… NTR, seriously? I prefer being the one doing the stealing, though.”
Lloyd, holding a tray, joined the conversation, looking at us as if we were something pitiful. Mind your own business… huh!?
“You cur! Do you intend to insult me… no, NTR!”
“Wha-!?”
Enraged, Yuanzhang grabbed Lloyd by the collar.
It was the same during my first encounter with him, but isn’t this man’s boiling point a little too low?
“Get off! Let go of me!”
“Silence! I will never forgive you until you bow your head to the sublime NTR!”
This is the first time I’ve heard NTR described as “sublime,” including in my past life, but this is bad.
Reluctantly, I tried to step between them, but…
“Lord Hal… what is NTR…?”
“Harold, what’s NTR?”
For some reason, Sandra and Despina seemed intensely curious about the word NTR.
Unsure how to answer, I froze, breaking out in a cold sweat, unable to stop Lloyd and Yuanzhang.
◇
“Pfft, hehehe. I feel like commissioning a painting of the Young Lady’s face when she finally learned the meaning of NTR.”
Even after school let out, Monica was still bursting into laughter recalling the lunchtime incident.
I worried she might get cut down by Sandra if she kept that up, but it’s the usual routine, so I decided to leave her be.
“Come on, stop laughing already and let’s head back to the Dormitory. Sandra must be waiting eagerly.”
That’s right. I was on duty today, so I had Sandra return to the Dormitory ahead of me.
Monica? Even if I told her to go back, she’d end up secretly watching… cough cough. Guarding me anyway, so I don’t say anything.
Besides…
“…So, how was it?”
“Yes. As far as I could investigate, there seem to be no discrepancies in what Prince Yuanzhang stated. …However, only Prince Yuanzhang himself knows his movements during the time he was missing.”
“I see.”
Huang Yuanzhang, who was supposed to be dead according to ‘EnHaza’. Normally, with six months having already passed since the main story began, it’s impossible for him to be at this academy.
I even checked with Themis, the administrator of this world, who confirmed that he was indeed deceased at the start of ‘EnHaza’ and doesn’t appear in the subsequent ‘EnHaza Second’ either.
In that case…
“Yuanzhang… who in the world is he?”
“I won’t presume to ask why, but you suspect him, don’t you, Prince Harold?”
“Yeah.”
Even after eliminating the protagonist Wilfred and neutralizing the administrator Themis, a world called ‘Engage Hazard Second’ that I know nothing about still exists.
And there are those who clearly perceive me as an enemy.
“…Well, it’s not like I really care.”
Ah, that’s right.
No matter what enemies appear… even if there’s a world I don’t know about, that’s only natural. In fact, having the knowledge from my past life up until now was nothing more than a bonus.
Then, I just have to overcome it.
Whatever obstacles await, whoever stands in my way, if they try to destroy me and my ‘Precious Thing’, I’ll eliminate them all.
“Bring it on if you think you can. I… this ‘Incompetent Rascal Prince’ will kick you all aside.”
Gazing at the setting sun, I smirked nihilistically, just like a villain.
