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?~

I was in a terrible situation.

Why did I have to go through this… that damn old man.

I had reached my limit, lying flat on my back in the middle of the fountain square.

“Geez… that damn old man.”

“Oh? You’re still conscious, huh? …Alex, did something happen?”

“W-what…?”

“No, I didn’t… do anything like that. I was just lazing around as usual.”

But I had a feeling. In my previous life, I had practiced kendo for many years. Perhaps those memories had resurfaced and changed the way I used my body. The martial art forms of kendo, the “Five Principles,” had been perfected by my predecessors. Having efficiently learned them, my sword skills might have improved in this world as well.

“Hmm, hmm… It seems my eyes were clouded. I never expected that I would miscalculate my son’s power.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Well, you don’t have to answer. Anyway, I’ll let you off the hook today. Now, let’s go back to the house where my cute daughter awaits me.”

Saying that, he briskly walked away, leaving me behind.

Seriously, what a monster. Coming back from the border and chasing me without breaking a sweat… he’s still full of energy. Despite reaching sixty years of age, this is the infamous Hero Sigurd.

“Umm… There’s also a cute son here who can’t move at all.”

“I don’t know. A man should handle things on his own.”

“Ugh…”

“Well then, I’m heading home. Really, you’ve made me late to see my daughter… Maria! Your father’s coming home!”

Saying that, he walked away again, leaving me behind. Meanwhile, the people around us returned to their normal activities as if nothing had happened. In the midst of it all, Kaera appeared out of nowhere.

“Oh my, you’ve been through quite an ordeal, haven’t you?”

“You heartless woman…”

“No, no, it’s impossible to get involved with him. Besides, if I tried to help, it would be like pouring fuel on the fire.”

“Well, that’s true. But you’re likely to say something like that anyway.”

“Hehe~, you know me well. Now, let’s go home together. I’ll lend you a hand.”

“Ugh… sure.”

With Kaera’s help, I managed to get up. My whole body felt sore, and tomorrow was sure to be a rough day.

“Hehe~, he’s still the same as ever.”

“Indeed, it’s terrifying that he’s in such good shape after turning sixty. Just how long can he stay energetic?”

“Isn’t that a good thing? Lady Maria will be pleased to have her father around.”

“That’s true, but… aren’t you happy too?”

“Well, of course.”

She’s been in an unusually good mood since earlier. Naturally, it’s because Father was the one who saved her life. She’s only serving me because I’m his son. Of course, she probably sees me as a family member too.

“You really respect Father, don’t you?”

“…You’re really a fool, you know that? That’s completely different from what we were talking about.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Never mind, it’s nothing. Let’s go home.”

After that, with Kaera supporting me, we headed home.

Reaching there at a slow and steady pace, I saw that he was sitting down with his large body on the soda, and Maria was in front of him.

“Father! What’s going on right after you came back? Onii-sama worked hard yesterday and is completely tired!”

“B-but, he…”

“I played along with Merle-san and onii-sama just accompanied me.”

“I see… but he didn’t say a word about it.”

“It’s because you never listen to him in the first place! Anyway, you must have attacked without warning, right?”

“Ugh, you’re right… s-sorry.”

Yes, the person in front of me is Hero Sigurd. He became a hero by defeating the representatives of the Dragonkin and Beastkin tribes in a one-on-one battle, potentially preventing a world war. Despite his physical inferiority to the other races, he’s been called the strongest human in history. However, in front of his daughter… he’s just a weak father.

“Hehe~, that’s right, that’s right!”

“What are you talking about? You need more punishment!”

“Sis! Help me!”

“You scoundrel! What are you thinking, asking your sister for help?”

At that moment, Kaera stepped in between Father and me. She had a rare look of panic on her face.

“Kaera! As expected, you’ll help your master!”

“Ugh… no, you two should probably stop there. Um… Lady Maria is…”

“Huh?!”

At those words, Father and I both turned to look at Maria simultaneously. She was trembling as she looked down. When she raised her head… her face was filled with anger.

“Onii-sama! Father! Both of you, sit down properly!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

We both immediately sat in seiza, side by side obediently following her words.

…It seems that even the strongest in this world are just weak against her in the end — this might be a universal truth!
