I was exposed as the strongest magician to my sister, who has severe brother complex. I can no longer hide my abilities at school! - Chapter 26 : The Big Shots?
Chapter 26 : The Big Shots?
Why was he having a meal with the big shots of the kingdom? Even Alvin, who should be a part of the group of big shots, thought about such things while tilting his head.
‘Layla’s lunch… it’s delicious.’
Although her title is just a viscount, it’s rare for a noble daughter to cook her own meals without relying on servants. I’ve had her meals several times before, but the taste remains the same.
She is a good candidate for a future wife, Alvin thought while ignoring Lieselotte, who was sitting across from him, and quietly continued eating his lunch.
“Lieselotte-sama, the sun is shining brightly today…”
“Hehe, you don’t have to be so formal. I’m not good with overly formal things, you know.”
“Uh… is that so?”
What to do now? Sophia looked at Alvin in confusion. If a girl asks for help, he can’t just ignore her. After swallowing the salad he had stuffed into his cheek, Alvin finally spoke.
“Nice to meet you, Lise-chan.”
—Crunch!
“…Nice to meet you, Lieselotte-sama.”
“Alvin-sama, it’s fine not to be so formal.”
Although he can’t be formal, what does this mean? Alvin looked at Layla sitting next to him and tilted his head.
“You’re really getting used to this. After all, Lieselotte-sama is a princess and our captain.”
“Because I don’t like being too formal… See, you and Layla are like this regardless of your family backgrounds, right?”
“We get along well.”
“Yeah, we’re in a relationship where we’re so close that we can let our guard down.”
Using shoulders as a criterion is also interesting. Watching the interaction between the two, Lieselotte couldn’t help but laugh.
“You two seem to get along very well.”
“Yes, yes! We’re good friends too!”
“Oh, I see. It’s only been two days since you joined, but I’m relieved to see a good relationship already formed among the seniors.”
Sophia started enthusiastically appealing with a raised hand. It was so cute that Alvin couldn’t help but feel warm.
“By the way, why is Lieselotte-sama here alone? You’re a princess, so normally you’d be surrounded by sycophants…”
“Alvin-san, that’s rude! Use more respectful language!”
“I apologize. It’s just that the image of being surrounded by flattering insects before losing consciousness couldn’t leave my mind.”
“I don’t like that kind of thing very much.”
Lieselotte said so while opening her lunch box.
“I understand your feelings, but I want to be a normal girl while I’m at the academy. I’ll have enough of that after graduation.”
“I totally understand.”
“That’s why, as you and Layla know, I don’t announce that I’m sitting in the captain’s seat. Unnecessary titles and decorations are not needed. So, I leave all those matters to Cecil. She has a personality that is more likable to people than I am, so I’m sure she’s adored by many people even now, right?”
As the second princess, many people want to befriend her. However, why should she have to taste the same thing even now when the same people approach her regularly?
Lieselotte thinks about that every day and, although sorry, she reduces the number of people who approach her on her own.
On the other hand, as the daughter of a duke and the vice-captain, Cecil takes the brunt of it, but both sides are satisfied with this situation, so there is no problem.
“Wow, being a princess must be tough, huh? How about just embracing it and living a carefree life like me? In return, they might call you a slob, though.”
“Alvin-san is not a disgrace at all! You are an amazing person!”
“Sophia, you’re so kind…”
“Hehe.”
With Alvin patting her head, Sophia looked happily content. They seemed like brother and sister.
“I once admired you at one point… but honestly, I don’t hate my position that much. Besides—”
Lieselotte flashed a meaningful smile.
“I feel like rumors and reality aren’t aligning for me.”
“No, that’s not—”
“Someone who can stand against me in a fight can’t be a disgrace.”
Was it because she was confident in herself? The girl known as the strongest in the academy continued speaking while taking a bite of her lunch.
“I’m not advocating for meritocracy… but the fact remains that many problems can be solved with strength. Therefore, your talent is nothing to be belittled.”
“…..”
“Besides, it seems like you haven’t shown your true strength yet. I haven’t fully revealed my cards either, but that alone is enough.”
It’s not something I would have believed until I saw it myself, she added with a wry smile.
Seeing that, Alvin felt a strange mix of embarrassment and awkwardness.
“Well, let’s stop talking about that. It’s lunch with the new members and Layla today. I hope for a brighter conversation.”
“Understood. So, about your three sizes…”
“I’ll crush you, okay?”
“It seems like it would affect the human body no matter where you are!”
A thoughtless remark that could be life-threatening.
“By the way, Cecil’s birthday is next week.”
“Hah!… That’s right!”
Alvin stands up involuntarily due to Lieselotte’s words.
Seeing Alvin, who suddenly changed his attitude, Layla and Sophia tilted their heads.
“What’s wrong, Alvin?”
“…Both of you, I have a very, very, very, very important request.”
“That is a lot of very.”
“It is something very important…!”
The two focus on Alvin with bated breath.
And Alvin, began to speak with a serious tone and said to them…
“Would you please help me choose a birthday present for nee-san? I haven’t chosen one yet, and I’m in trouble!”
