Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? ~ Tensei Chokugo wa Donzoko Sutāto, Demo Ban'nō Mahō de Gyakuten Jinsei o Jōshō-chū!-Chapter 20.2 - Most Hated Place in the World(2)

Translator: Lady Black

He’s getting sick.

School.

The place of abhorrence that plagued him in his previous life. You wanted me to go there?

“I don’t want to.”

This time, he flatly refused.

“I tried to send you in a local school, you’re so against it. I didn’t ask you why you don’t like to go. But there must be a reason why you don’t want to this time right?”

“… Because he’s the king.”

The sender of the letter was the king.

“I don’t know why the king had his eyes on you. He should’ve noticed the birth of Haruto—no, he must’ve known that your mother was a commoner.”

Only her father and mother should know that he’s the prince that was abandoned. The rest was Fray. He didn’t tell her either.

He always kept his breast part under wraps. Fray was careless, but he didn’t made a blunder like telling a secret.

No one else know, not to mention the king.

“If there’s—”

He won’t forgive anyone who interfered in his comfortable life.

“Her royal highness Marianne?”

His sister?! She looks like a good person, but she was actually a schemer!

“The princess appreciated your ability. It was said that Prince Lyas entered the school by skipping class ‘She hope that you could study together and contribute to the development of the kingdom’ I suppose she meant to be ‘friends’”

He didn’t think that she could be a friend because of her boyish nature. Since she’s a princess, she’s could to skip too right? There’s that in his previous life too.

That’s why he thinks that ‘being a friend’ was a good idea.

“Do you mean to say that this recommendation actually came from the princess?”

“For the King who was fond of Princess Marianne, I’m a bit skeptical with Prince Lyas but it make sense to think that he couldn’t refuse his daughters requests”

Why does she want me to go to school?

If he read it properly, this sounds like the best magic school in the country, and she wanted to let me have that status?

He doesn’t have any idea.

“I don’t mean that my niece wasn’t alert. For now she’s lying low but there’s a possibility that the princess might be conspiring something to set fire. But—”

His father said with a serious look. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

“I want you to see the world. I don’t deny you from being stuck in your room working on ancient magic, but this is a good chance to meet and be inspired and have a deeper insight. There must be some laboratory specializing ancient magic.”

Laboratory? He was imagining a school from the image of his previous life’s high school but university might be the closests.

“… is it too much trouble to refuse?”

“If it’s the princess that sent this, she couldn’t mean anything bad. But the letter of recommendation came in the name of the king. I have to lie if I said there won’t be trouble, it’ll be more complicated if I dug deeper.”

I understand.

“… Alright. I’ll go.”
