I Became the Son of a Corrupt Lord, so I’ll Enjoy an Easy Life in Another World ~but Please Stop Revering Me as a “Saint”!~

Prologue 3. After the Academy Magic Tournament～

#Month#Day

Starting today, Rishburg Magic Academy will be temporarily closed.

This is due to a large-scale investigation to find any clues about Frone of Thunder.

For the students, it means an early start to their long break.

And for me, it means my paradise begins…!

Because Mashiro, Karen, and Reina are staying at my house.

They say summer makes people bolder. So, it wouldn’t be surprising if something happened…!

It’s been intense lately, after all…

Surely, I’m allowed to relax and indulge a little now.

So, we played together on the beach we owned.

Swaying chests. Bouncing hips. Shining napes of necks.

Ahh… perfection… This is it! This is the otherworldly life I dreamed of!

I’ll certainly be spending time with everyone, and the fun’s just beginning!

#Month?Day

Maybe because of all the good I’ve done recently, I keep getting happy news.

I managed to avoid an audience with the king.

The excuse was simple: I didn’t do it for the country but for myself. A selfish guy like me doesn’t deserve the honor. I successfully spun it that way.

As a result, I was also able to decline any titles.

No way. If I got something like that, I wouldn’t be able to do as I please.

Instead, I accepted only the reward, so the royal family could save face.

And what I asked for was—access to the underground forbidden magic library maintained by the kingdom.

#Month♡Day

Reina mentioned a magic attribute I’d never heard of before—Dark Attribute.

It’s magic so dangerous it’s been sealed away from the world.

Frone supposedly uses that forbidden magic, which affects the target’s mind.

But my goal isn’t to oppose Frone!

Reina told me… dark attribute magic includes hypnosis!

Hypnosis. Every guy has dreamed of it at least once—that kind of hypnosis.

Of course, my ideal is a harem built on love. But, since I’m in another world, wouldn’t it be fun to try something different?

So, time to dive in! Hypnosis, hypnosis!

#Month@Day

During this long break, most of my time is spent playing with everyone, self-study, and training with Alice.

But seriously, Alice is too strong. I still don’t feel like I can beat her.

That can’t continue, though. I’ve realized that there are people like Frone—on par with or stronger than Alice.

Mashiro, Karen, Reina, Alice… I have so many people to protect now.

If I’m not strong, I can’t protect them.

What I fear most is losing them.

To prevent that, I have to commit to rigorous self-training.

I’d rather avoid getting involved in trouble, but I want to be strong enough to protect those closest to me.

One day, a certain noble approached us. Though, it felt like he was here as an afterthought while visiting my father.

Since the Frone incident, the underworld seems more active, and nobles have been coming to see my father.

In a way, it proves how well my father has infiltrated as a corrupt lord.

However, what caught my attention was Alice’s reaction.

For just a moment, when she saw that noble, an immense killing intent erupted from her.

The pressure was so intense I’m proud of myself for not reacting on impulse.

Could there be some history between them? Now that I think about it, I’ve never heard Alice talk about herself.

I’ll wait for the right moment to talk to her. Yes, that’s what I’ll do.

#Month￥Day

Alice left a letter of apology behind and disappeared from the estate.

Goodbye, my peaceful days.
