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 gentle atmosphere that prevailed until just now suddenly changed, and tension filled the air.

Soldiers in the vicinity hurriedly moved, and the students were visibly shaken.

Amidst this, in my mind, the next steps were being automatically processed.

Perhaps, even though I knew it would be troublesome to deal with this situation without necessary preparations.

Because that’s the duty of Alex, who was born as royalty, after all.

“Serena! Thor! We’re going out too! Luckily, we’re not that tired.”

“Eh?… Of course, let’s go give them a helping hand!”

“Heh, I have been itching to hear those words.”

Then, Merle-san stepped forward in front of me.

“P-Please take me with you!”

“No, can’t do. If something happens to Merle, it could become an international issue and would just broaden the rift of hostility between our kingdoms. I’d rather have you stay at the back.”

“But, Alex-kun…”

“I have someone to take my place. Besides, I am a member of the royal family of this country. If the people are in danger, it’s one of my duties to fight.”

“But, even so…! Alex-kun and the others are important to me!”

As I was about to reply, Thor touched my shoulder, his eyes calming me.

“Easy there. I told you to calm down.”

“Well, it’s not bad, right? We’ll probably come on our own anyway.”

“…That’s true, but…”

“Haah… Alright, just stay with us all the time. In return, no reckless actions, okay?”

“Yes!”

“No problem with that!”

“Alright then, let’s go get scolded together.”

The three nodded, and we headed in the direction Professor Nois had gone.

There, a fierce battle of life and death was taking place with the soldiers fighting against demonic beings.

I see… so these are what people refer to as ‘Yokai’ in this world.

[TL/N : Yokai are a class of supernatural entities and spirits in Japanese folklore]

“The students? What are you doing here?!”

“We have already decided, we’re here to help you all fight against them.”

“What…? Please retreat quickly. This is our responsibility.”

“If the teachers die, we’re next. So, isn’t it more efficient to fight here instead of just watching?”

“True. It’s better to fight than just stand here.”

“Yes!”

“That’s true, but… haah.”

Even in this situation, Professor Nois was smiling calmly.

“Uh, um?”

“I’m sorry… It reminded me of Sigurd and us in our younger days. Back then, Sigurd also broke orders and… blood will tell, as they say.”

“Did that really happen?”

“Yes, I almost forgot about it. During an extracurricular activity, a horde of monsters attacked, and Sigurd and I ran through the battlefield together. Looking back, that was our first battle… oh well, I don’t want to look so old in front of the younger generation.”

“…So, what should we do? We don’t want to get in the way, so we’ll just follow your instructions.”

“Thank you. Then, can I ask you to handle those goblins? Individually, they’re not much of a problem, but in a horde they can be a big problem. So ladies, don’t let your guard down even for a second….”

Right, they treat females of any race as breeding stock. Elves, dragonkin, humans — it doesn’t matter.

And males are treated as a source of food for them.

Because of that, they are considered enemies of humanity.

“Understood. I’ll protect Serena and Merle-san with my life on line.”

“Ehh…!?”

“Hehe, you’ve grown bold. Well then, I’ll protect your back. That’s my role.”

“Thor… but you’re not going to die, right?”

“You better not either.”

“No more chatting. The monsters we missed might come this way.”

With those words, we tightened our grips on our weapons, ready for what was to come.
