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 of the next day, when I tried to get up… for some reason, my body wouldn’t move.

Is this what they call sleep paralysis!?

I thought so and tried to move forcefully somehow… but then I felt an intense pain coursing through my whole body!

“Ouch! Is this not sleep paralysis but just muscle pain?”

“Oh, good morning, Master~. It seems like you overused your energy yesterday, didn’t you?”

“Ah… I see.”

The energy used in this world is a technique that releases the power within oneself. Naturally, if you remove the limiter, it puts a strain on your body. So if someone uses it too much… they will surely end up in this condition.

“Hehe~, so it’s an opportunity for me, right?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Even though you know it… take this!”

“Eek! St-stop it!”

Kaera was poking my thigh with her fingers!

Each time she does, I feel a tingling sensation!

“Hehehe~, opportunities like this don’t come often. Now, I can do anything… anything? Well, that’s intriguing.”

“Um, Kaera-san, you’re really scary, you know?”

“It’s okay, I’m just going to help you change your clothes a bit. Since you can’t move, it can’t be helped. Yes, this is an unavoidable situation, so let me serve you dear master~.”

Saying that, she crawled onto my body.

Her face had a blissful expression, like that of a pervert.

“Don’t do this while drooling! Someone please help me!”

I forcefully circulate the energy throughout my body, managing to push Kaera away, despite the pain.

“Kyaa?!”

“Well, how about that… huh?”

“Ah, um… please be gentle, it’s my first time…”

Before I knew it, I had ended up on top of her, pushing Kaera down. Unbeknownst to me, our current situation where we ended up so close to each other made my heart flutter.

“What are you saying…”

“Kyaa! Big brother has gone mad! Father! Sebastian!”

I don’t know when she had arrived, but Maria peeked her head in from the door and blurted out something horrifying.

“It’s a misunderstanding!”

“You should have told that soon!”

“Sister! Wait! Today might become my death day!”

“Oh no, I can’t get married anymore… you have to take responsibility, master~.”

“Enough! Let go! Why did it come to this!?”

Afterward, I expended a lot of effort making excuses… and in the end, I spent most of the day sleeping during class.

And before I knew it, it was after school.

In the meantime, there seemed to have been some changes I was unaware of.

“Hey, hey, those beastmen have really beautiful skin, but do they really do something special for it?”

“Do you really judge them solely based on their strength?”

“Their physique is amazing, are all beastkin like that?”

“Um, well…”

Merle was surrounded by the girls, who were bombarding her with questions. It’s not like they’re bullying her; they all seem genuinely curious.

“Hey, Alex. Has what you guys have been doing finally paid off?”

“Good job, Thor. Well, I guess so. But it’s mainly thanks to her efforts.”

“Well, yeah, I guess so. She’s still a bit timid, but she’s not rejecting us anymore.”

Certainly, we’ve been doing tennis club activities with Merle and playing in the classroom together. Through those interactions, it seems that the fear of Merle as a beastkin outcast in our kingdom has significantly diminished. She’s really kind and considerate of others in the first place, so it’s only natural for her to get along with others once they start talking… except for a few exceptions.

“That’s right. Now we can play with others too. Let’s prioritize that.”

“Is that so? I doubt it, but I’ll just watch from afar.”

“Hey, don’t say things that make me curious.”

“That’s fine. Do as you like. Just know that we’ll do the same.”

As I tried to ask what he meant, Serena, who had been watching over Merle, approached me. By the way, today we’re going to meet His Majesty the King together.

“Alex, it’s time to go.”

“Is Merle okay?”

“I can’t keep Father waiting. Besides, Merle said she’ll do her best on her own. It seems talking to Maria-chan was a good thing.”

“That’s a good thing, but… what do you mean?”

“Well, even though she has a chance, she’s not taking it, right? Maria-chan was born with some things she can’t help.”

“Oh, I see… yeah.”

Maria has many things she can’t obtain even if she wishes for them.

…It’s my role as her older brother to fulfill those wishes.

For that reason, I need to meet His Majesty the King.
