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 moment I woke up, I felt a comfortable sensation on my head.

‘…Hmm? Something feels fluffy?’

Trying to understand what it really was, I tried to move my body…

“Huh…?”

“No, you can’t move yet!”

Pain shot through my entire body, and I was unable to speak further.

Then, once again, something fluffy was placed around my stomach.

When I glanced down, it seemed the source of the fluffiness was a tail?

So, this voice belongs to none other than…

“Merle-san…?”

“Yes, that’s right. I’m sorry, but please rest on my lap for now.”

“Um, what’s going on?”

“Huh?… Ah, you might be feeling uncomfortable because my thighs are thin unlike Serena-san’s.”

…Ah, I see. It’s that kind of misunderstanding. My mind is not working well, but it seems she has made a big mistake.

“You shouldn’t say such foolish things. There’s no shame in a girl’s thighs. They are wonderful just as they are.”

“Huh?… Ehehe, that’s typical of you, Alex-kun.”

“That’s questionable… So, what happened? I probably collapsed from using too much energy and lost all my stamina, right?”

Finally, my mind started processing all events that took place and what happened to me.

I should have lost consciousness after delivering the final blow.

When I moved my head a little, I noticed that we were inside our tent.

“Yes, that seems to be the case. It was tough, you know? Everyone was worried… Right now, they are treating the injured ones. The teacher in charge is explaining the current situation to the students in order to prevent any ruckus.”

“…Treatment? Were there casualties among the students? Did the fortress get infiltrated?”

“No, that’s not it. The students, inspired by us, went out to fight. Of course, the weaker ones stopped anyone who weren’t at the level of soldiers. Still, the upperclassmen and outstanding students fought to defend the fortress. Fortunately, there are no casualties.”

“…I see, that’s good. Well, it was just about this level this time.”

Most of the opponents were goblins or orcs, who are the lowest tier of monsters, so the students were fine. Even that orc was only intermediate among magical creatures. It’s still dangerous, but…

Advanced magical creatures are on a different level, according to what I heard from Dad. So, this time we were lucky.

“I think so too. When I was in the village, stronger demonic creatures appeared. Ones that even the king, my father, had difficulty to deal with.”

“That’s true. There are still many demonic creatures around here. Well then… It feels really good on your lap pillow, but I should probably get up.”

“T-That’s good!”

“By the way, how is it now? Oh, right, how long was I unconscious?”

“The other orc was defeated by the teacher, and he is absolutely fine, though minorly injured. The remaining magical creatures were dealt with by soldiers. They’re still cleaning up now. You were probably unconscious for about two hours…”

“That’s good. As long as everyone is safe… I’m starving, though. I used almost all of my energy.”

“Hehe~, you looked cool.”

“That’s one way to put it. Well then, let’s see… I’m hungry.”

At that moment, Thor appears at the entrance of the tent. In his hand, he holds a plate which emitted a delicious aroma.

“Hey, are you still alive?”

“Hey, Thor. Sorry for making you worry.”

“It’s fine. Come on, eat first.”

“Thanks… It’s delicious.”

The menu is a cream stew made with the meat of the young boars we hunted yesterday. The meat melts in my mouth, soothing my empty stomach.

“That’s a relief. It was worth the effort.”

“Yeah, it was. By the way, what are you talking about?”

The next moment, Serena rushes in with a clattering sound, grabbing both my shoulders and shaking me!
