The other day, Pochi proudly placed a giant scorpion that it had apparently hunted by itself in front of me, reminding me of the cat at my friendâs house in my previous life that proudly showed off the G it had caught, and it made me smile. My friend was screaming, not with joy, though.
The Daemonsâ village had grown quite a bit.
Demons with some intelligence wouldnât approach Pochi out of fear, and even the weaker monsters were blocked by the barrier magical tools that I got from Daemons before and were fixed by the Magesâ Guild, so they could raise more children with peace of mind.
âŚEvery time something happened, they [Requested] me to do something, and I did my best.
The elders were old but in good health. They claimed to be around 120 years old, but Daemons have a life expectancy of about 150 years, so they would still request a lot of things from me.
But the Daemons made a home for me. Everyone there (except the elders) were good people.
It looked like a shrine or a temple, but what was the meaning of it?
As for me personally, I was having a mock battle with Pochi, so I was able to strengthen my skills a little.
The skills that I raised above 90 were tough, but [Sword Dance], which I had only raised to 70, seemed to have improved. I think that it was Pochiâs dedication that helped me.
Also, Pochi, who unexpectedly was an intellectual, or rather, a dragon who has a habit of collecting things like a crow, owned some old books from the Daemonsâ library, including an ancient grimoire.
The contents were not that great, but it was a big help to have access to a large number of unknown words that had not been recorded in the human community.
I unlocked many spells, not all of them, but a significant number of them, and I could now use many high-ranking spells.
Also, I, a little nobleman, turned ten and finally entered the magic academy, which I had been dreading for yearsâŚ
Somehow, without my knowledge, I had become engaged to the kingâs younger brother.
How did this happen? The world was a terrible place where you could not just say, âOh, Iâm glad that the story of being sold to a perverted aristocrat is overâ.
I didnât know how I became the fiancĂŠe of Camille-san, the kingâs brother, but since he agreed to marry me, a half-elf who was nine years older than him, there must be some kind of sinister motive behind it.
Even if he wasnât, he was a nobleman and royalty in this country full of perverts, you know? He must be a pervert of the highest order. You could see it in Flare and Cashmere, who have royal blood.
It had been more than four years since my engagement and I still hadnât met him.
Even in such a state, because I was engaged to the kingâs younger brother, it was impossible for me not to attend the Academy of Magic, which is only open to nobles.
HaaahâŚthis is such a hassle.
So on the day of the entrance ceremony.
There was no way those parents would come to my entrance ceremony, and even if they did, it would be a problem, but Dirk, who had become more restrictive since I got engaged, was going to be there with me.
âLook, donât get carried away, okay? Itâs just a formal engagement to tie Camille-samaâs chain of command, and youâll never have to leave home. You can wear a collar and stay in my room for the rest of your life.â
ââŚâ
Dirk remained a pervert.
Dirk, who was in his final year at the academy and would turn 16 this year, was nearly 180 tall and looked quite handsome on the outside, but on the inside he was worse than before.
As my body grew, he began scheming to bathe with me. It was very difficult for me to shift the time of bathing every day because of this.
Why was this the target of Otome Gameâs strategy?
Which one was it? The heroine who could have a pure love affair with this guy must have a strong heart or a terrible love brain. Oh, Alice was the heroine, wasnât she? If thatâs the case, I believe the target of her attack would be considered beautiful regardless.
âAre you listening to me? And donât talk to me so casually in the school, okay? You, a subhuman, are a disgrace to our Arceides frontier family!â
If that was the case, would you please stop trying to force me onto your lap or sneakily stroke my thighs?
At 10 years old, I had grown physically, but more importantly, my status had finally increased. Perhaps the current Carol was starting to merge with my Player Character as I grew up.
Thanks to this, I am now able to avoid Dirkâs sexual harassment.
