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?~ - Chapter 65 : Field Trip [16]
While eating the warm food, my mind gradually clears.
I felt that both my body and mind were becoming more energetic.
However, my body still creaked in pain.
This is probably the side effect of overusing my energy reserves.
“But… I can somehow move. Maybe tomorrow morning will be tough for me.”
“Haha, well, that can’t be helped. I mean, I’ll be in bad shape tomorrow too, for sure.”
“You and Serena-san went through a lot. I wish I could have helped more.”
“No, no, it’s just a matter of dividing roles. If I were concerned about Serena’s defense, I wouldn’t be able to focus on attacking.”
“Hehe~, she’s an important girl, isn’t she?”
“Whoa, you were so passionate back then trying to save Alex!”
“Hey? Don’t tease us both… Well, he’s still my important childhood friend.”
This conversation was taking place between us after the subjugation of demonic beings, soon our voices were getting slightly suppressed because of the drum beating somewhere further.
It seems that this training field trip will conclude with a campfire.
“Oh, are they doing it?”
“Nois-sensei hesitated at first, but then he thought it would be good to do it here. Fortunately, no one got hurt.”
“It also boosted the students’ confidence. Well, he did say he would give the knights a piece of his mind.”
“Well, that’s to be expected. In fact, my old man would probably lose it…”
“…No doubt.”
Probably, there could have been casualties. As my father said, the knights are quite negligent. Neglecting their duties in a place where the second prince and the first princess are on an expedition… unbelievable.
“Alex-kun? What’s wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing. Well, I’ll go too.”
“Are you okay?”
“It’s tough, but… leaving that bouncing girl alone is pitiful.”
“Hehe~, you’re so kind and caring.”
“You can say that.”
“Yes, yes, I understand.”
Feeling embarrassed, I left the tent and looked for Serena. Fortunately, because of her beautiful features she stands out a lot, so I found her quickly. She seems to be feeling awkward surrounded by men.
“Princess Serena! Please dance with me!”
“No, please dance with me! Your courage on the battlefield was amazing!”
“If your engagement is broken, give us a chance too!”
“Everyone, please calm down!”
Unusually, she looks flustered and helpless. Come to think of it, she generally doesn’t get along with guys, right? Apart from our age group, she rarely talks to anyone other man than me and Thor. Well, it would be a problem if the first princess was talking only with men. Normally, she should be good with handling a conversation, but surprisingly, she’s a sheltered girl.
“That’s enough. Sorry, but she already has plans with me.”
“P-Prince Alex?”
“Oh, you’ve woken up!”
“But I heard the engagement was broken.”
“Alex!”
Then, Serena hid behind me and grabbed the hem of my clothes.
“Sorry, but that’s a misunderstanding. As you can see, she’s obsessed with me. Of course, I am too.”
“Ugh!? Umm…”
“I see… We apologize for the misunderstanding.”
“We’re sorry… You are also so strong, it can’t be helped.”
Saying that, the men soon stopped bothering us. At the same time, the girls who were about to approach me also retreated. Haah, that was close… I’ve been watching it since I left the tent. Probably, they were trying to lure me by restraining each other.
“Come on, it’s okay now. Geez, where did your usual assertiveness go?”
“Oh, stop it! More importantly… what do you mean by ‘I am obsessed with you and our feelings are mutual’?”
“Ah, I said that to avoid trouble, you know? Did you plan to say something else?”
“I-I know… it can’t be helped. But still, I’m happy.”
“What are you mumbling about? Come on, let’s go.”
“Kya! Wa—i…!” I took Serena’s hand and went to the campfire.
We danced to the tune and matched each others’ pace, and Serena’s face was beet red due to embarrassment.
As planned… weird people won’t approach either of us in the near future.
