Reincarnated as the Legitimate Son of a Duke Family's ~ Just Trying To Live Live My Life Normally, But Somehow I've Got a Harem?~

The morning after strolling with Merle around the royal capital, I indulged into a second round of sleep.

Yesterday, I woke up early, and there were various things that tired me out.

I went out shopping, and after returning home, Maria was in high spirits.

Well, it seemed like fun, but today I wanted to relax a little bit.

“Fuwah~… the second round of sleep is the best… happiness is packed in the futon.”

“Master, are you still sleeping?”

“Kaera… isn’t it still too early for noon?”

“Do you plan to sleep until noon? Well, you worked hard yesterday, so it’s fine.”

“Yeah, sometimes I need to take it easy… huh?”

At that moment, I felt a chill. The next moment, I heard hurried footsteps.

“…What is this?”

“I apologize!”

“Wait! Are you going to leave your master behind!?”

“Yes! I value my life too!”

“Damn it! Die together with me!”

I grabbed Kaera’s waist as she tried to escape through the window and tried to hold her back. It’s better to have two victims rather than one!

“Hey! What are you touching… or rather, where are you burying your face?!”

“Ouch!”

“Really! At a time like this… Ah, well then!”

After she pushed me away, Kaera went out of the window.

Damn it, she managed to escape. But I inadvertently buried my face in her a*s… Hmm, the feeling was not really bad.

“Really, what’s the matter with leaving your master behind like this?”

“What’s the matter…?”

“That hoarse voice…”

“Who’s voice is hoarse? Seriously….”

I turned around like a broken machine, and there stood a muscular, robust man.

Standing over 180 centimeters tall, with a manly face that was the opposite of mine.

If it were my previous world, he would have been like a handsome, silver-haired Ikemen with long hair, but for me…

“Th-this… Father, you’re back early. Even though I heard you were supposed to arrive in the evening…”

“Yeah, that was the plan originally. But I rushed back without sleeping to see my lovely daughter.”

He said as he stroked his own lush beard.

As always, he’s a doting parent… no, he’s a little overprotective with his daughter.

My father got married late, so he’s already in his sixties. That’s probably why he’s so affectionate… towards his only daughter.

“You… you monster…”

“Hmm? What’s with calling your parent a monster? Do I need to train you again?”

“I can’t take it anymore!”

I immediately jumped out of the window from where Kaera had left through before, and using nascent energy on my legs, I landed gracefully before dashing towards the gate.

“Oh, ho! Nice moves!”

“Ugh!”

But resistance was futile as he was right behind me, he was chasing me without any efforts!

And… on top of that he already prepared his sword!

“Hahaha! There you go!”

“This is unfair! I just woke up and I’m unarmed!”

“Master…! Take this!”

Then…. Kaera, who had already reached a safe spot earlier, threw a sheathed sword towards me.

While running, I caught it in mid-air and took the fighting stance.

“Thanks! But if you could help me instead, that would have been better?!”

“Well, you see, I’m a frail maiden…”

“What?! You just jumped out of a window from the top floor a moment ago—!”

Before I could complete my words, a chill ran down my spine as a surge of energy approached me from behind.

…Uh-oh, I said the wrong thing.

“You! How dare you ask for help from a girl! Stand your ground!”

“Kugh?!”

I turned around and drew my sword, matching it with his.

Then… I lowered my center of gravity and used all my strength to deflect his attack and tried to push him away!

This is a way to overcome a larger opponent even if you’re shorter. I may not remember much, but I didn’t forget this!

“Hmm… Did you just block my strike?”

“I won’t let you have your way this time!”

I immediately jumped up, leaped over the wall, and entered the city grounds.

Of course, my father was still chasing after me without breaking a sweat.

“Hahaha! You’re doing well!”

“Stop chasing me! And why are you chasing me in the first place!? What did I do?!”

“What are you saying? You’ve broken off your engagement with Princess Serena! That alone would have been forgivable, but then you went and stole away Merle-dono, the exchange student from the beastkin kingdom! It’s fine to laze around, but to toy with a woman’s heart is unforgivable!”

“What are you talking about?”

“I heard it when I entered the city! You were out on a friendly date with Merle-dono yesterday evening!”

“…Th-that’s a misunderstanding!”

“No need for explanations!”

“Listen to me, you old geezer!”

As I continued to run through the city, I arrived at a fountain square.

There were food stalls and rest areas, and people were chatting.

They all turned their attention to us and started grinning.

“Oh my, it’s been a while since I’ve seen this.”

“I guess I should prepare to close up my shop or it will get destroyed.”

“Oh! It’s Lord Sigurd!”

“Phew! Finally some live action!”
