This is the end of the SS.

But what is its meaning?

Who knows. It may or may not be something important.

The only thing that is for sure... Rudel is stuck with ending in that world in any way possible!

There are no more chapters!

What follows is the special Q&A for this volume, then will come the author's notes and finally.

New chapter of the spin-off!

Today is a new day in my quiet life.

Good morning world, my name is Rudel.

I am a citizen of the Supreme Kingdom of Aster and this is my day to day life.

To begin with, I am a reincarnate.

I died and reincarnated in this world of fantasy and swords.

My father came to this country years ago, he was in the care of the Rosenberg Household.

He died years ago and asked them to take care of me.

I was about to move to the city on my own when the head of the house, Randolf-san told me to stay.

I was given my own room and also a baronet's title.

Why so kind to a stranger?

There are two answers. The first is unknown, perhaps my father and Randolf-san were great friends.

The second is due to this boy.

"Good morning Master Rudel. It's a beautiful morning, isn't it?"

"Good morning Zero."

Zero is an artificial intelligence I found in Aster's dungeon one day when I went to fetch a sapling as an offering to the sacred tree.

I got lost and found this guy who is a giant airship.

But don't let him fool anyone.

The bastard is a liar, he told me a bunch of obvious lies and when he surfaced he wanted to try to take over this country screaming old human revenge stuff.

But fortunately I found his self-destruct button which works just like a wireless alarm.

I threatened him not to cause chaos.

From time to time he seeks to steal my device, but this guy thinks I'm dumb when he's the one who ends up fooled.

I changed clothes and went to breakfast.

"Good morning everyone."

"Good morning."

Replied a beautiful elegant woman, it was Marian, the madam of this house.

Next to her was her husband reading the newspaper, Randolf-san.

He was ignoring me because he was angry with me.

Yesterday afternoon, Zero destroyed his favorite car by accident.

The bastard tried to turn it into an armor.

He failed.

Sometimes I think Zero is looking to get me in trouble just to laugh at me.

Also at the table was the heir to the house, Romeo.

A guy with a cool attitude since he's a nerd.

I walked up to him and greeted him as if we were friends.

"I said 'Good morning' so you should respond in kind."

"G-Good morning Rudel-san! Let me study please."

This guy seems to be someone cold, but it's only because he forces his eyesight, deep down he's like a little kid, he's her younger brother for a reason.

Romeo is a crybaby who always seeks to hide in his older sister's skirts.

He suffers from a sister complex. Well, she was no slouch.

"Good morning everyone!"

Entering shouting as if she were a diva, the eldest daughter of the Rosenberg Household entered.

A beautiful girl who is a reflection of her mother when she was young.

Sara entered with a radiant glow rocking her blonde hair.

Seeing me with her bright green eyes, she came running toward me.

"Rudel!"

She hugged me like I was a teddy bear.

Sara and I were childhood friends.

Despite being a year older than me, she always spent time with me playing in the huge yard of her house.

There were even weird games like getting engaged as adults.

Sara's hug got weirder when she bent my head down to her big breasts.

"How did you wake up? Did you dream about me? Because I did, in fact, several times I thought about you before I went to sleep."

"Ah~, Rudel. Just seeing you makes your big sister's heart race so fast, can you hear it?"

She buried my face more into her breasts.

It was a wonderful feeling, but I couldn't enjoy it because of Randolf-san who was watching with a murderous gaze.

Marian-san was watching me with loving eyes.

"Ara ara. Looks like I'm going to be a grandmother soon."

"What do you mean grandmother!? Sara! Get away from that brat this instant."

"And you Rudel. Stop doing that happiness thing by hugging my daughter!"

Zero entered the scene to save me.

"Randolf-sama. If you want more evidence of Master's attacks on Sara-sama, I suggest you take a look at these very compromising photos."

Zero pulled out some edited photos of his body.

Why were they edited?

My face was plastered on them, I was doing adult things with a fake Sara.

Randolf-san stood up, his red face indicating he was about to explode.

"Rudel! You damned scoundrel! I open the doors of my house to you and you seek to make a pass at my daughter!"

"It's a misunderstanding!"

I ran out of the place.

After leaving Randolf-san angry after getting into the limo that Sara prepared, we were heading to the academy.

Romeo was with us.

"Nee-san. Even I feel uncomfortable seeing them."

Romeo was saying that since already his older sister was hugging me as if we were lovers.

Even though Sara is the equivalent of a beautiful, elegant, perfect, big-breasted and very playful princess. She was the daughter of an important man.

The only way to make her mine would be to kill Romeo or destroy her family.

There's no way I'd do that!

Sara's sweet face grew serious and she looked at her younger brother.

"Romeo, are you jealous of Rudel?"

"You shouldn't be. Even if your loving big sister enjoys spending time with her future husband, you needn't worry. I'll give you a big sister's love whenever you want it."

"W-who wants your love? I'm just saying that you guys are so honeyed it's nauseating!"

Zero who was with us scoffed at him.

"It seems Romeo-sama is angry at Master for hogging all the attention from his older sister. The sister complex he has is overwhelming."

"Who has a big sister complex you bastard!"

Romeo threw his books at Zero.

After arriving at Aster's academy, the first person we met when we got off was Tom and Linus.

Tom was Linus' younger brother, who was one of the Seven Great Nobles that rule this country.

He was saying goodbye to him.

"Have a good day Tom."

"I will nii-san."

I would say I was jealous of the loving brotherly relationship they have.

Linus is always present when Tom participates in any school event or play.

In fact, it gets to the point where it's stressful to watch him.

Especially now, when he brought his private escort to accompany Tom to the academy, students would stare at their not at all uncommon embrace of brotherly love.

After entering, we ran into the usual bully, Derrick. Who was being lectured by Professor Malcolm.

"How many times have I told you guys not to bring alcoholic beverages to the academy?"

"Sorry Prof~."

Derrick's mocking tone to Malcolm was hilarious.

As we walked further in, Romeo separated from us.

"Nee-san, Rudel. I'll go to my classroom, see you at recess."

"See you later."

We said goodbye to Romeo, it was Sara's turn to leave.

She came up to me and gave me a big hug.

"Rudel. We'll see you soon, think a lot of me. yeah?"

She gave me a flirtatious kiss on the cheek.

I watched her skip away before meeting her friends.

I heard from a friend of mine that Sara is scary and a different person when she's not with me. I can't believe that.

"Morning, Rudel."

Talk about the king of Rome.

I turned around at the sound of his annoying voice and greeted him.

"Good morning Zack, did you sleep well?"

Zack was Malcolm's younger brother, apparently Zack was going to be the head of his house, but his older brother will take over.

We are friends since we met in the dungeon.

I found out he is a reincarnate like me.

"Wrong. I stayed up late playing cards and couldn't sleep well. I think I'll fall asleep in class."

"I'm not surprised coming from you."

We were from the same classroom so it was normal to walk in together.

After greeting everyone, I heard the usual voices of girls saying weird things.

"Are they together again?"

"I told you, RuZa is real."

"No, no, no. Surely it must be ZaDel. Why do you think Zack-kun goes in first?"

What the hell are these girls talking about?

For some reason I'm terrified to know the answer.

After sitting down we got to talking.

Classes were about to start, Professor Lutart came in a little early to call fouls.

After the bell no one was supposed to come in.

But it didn't matter to her.

Hurried footsteps we all heard and the door opened abruptly.

"Safe! I made it in time this time."

A girl not at all feminine entered the room.

It was Lucy, the daughter of the acting female chairman. The representative of the seven Aster families.

Lucy's mother and Randolf were to be engaged as children, but apparently Zack's house beat Lucy's house in seizing Randolf.

Lucy lifted her face and a smile of victory was plastered on it.

We pointed straight ahead and she turned her face to Professor Lutart who was pointing at the clock above.

"Lucy. You have one more late to your list, congratulations."

"I'll see you on the way out to give you your clean-up punishment."

"Not again!"

We all laughed at Lucy.

Morning classes were almost over.

Zack was chatting with some boys about yesterday's radio show that talked about a horror legend of a certain bloody knight.

As I finished writing, Lucy turned to look at me.

She was smiling at me in a very affectionate way.

"Hehe. I was late again."

"Do you think that's a compliment to you?"

I gave her a light karate chop to the head.

"It hurts!"

She exclaimed as if for real.

Lucy and I met when I accidentally years ago fell on her at a party hosted by the Vermillion Household.

I was invited by Sara.

I separated from her and ended up falling on Lucy after slipping.

I begged for forgiveness as they could kill me, but Lucy laughed. She told me that this place full of adults was very serious and the children were serious too.

So we went to the garden to play.

Years passed and we became childhood friends.

Also, last year when I found Zero, it was curious that I also found a sapling, that sapling shone and made me its guardian.

Of course, the guardian of the sapling is nothing since who matters is the guardian of the sacred tree.

I showed the sapling to Lucy after I came back, I don't know what happened, but the sapling chose her to be its priestess.

Randolf-san and Lucy's mother got mad at me. But someone helped me so there is no problem.

I looked at Lucy who was joking with the excuses she was giving me for being late.

My eyes inadvertently moved to her breasts which were resting on my desk.

(They really are big.)

"Hey."

I heard her voice accompanied by a light tap of her fingers on my forehead.

"My eyes are here you know? Geez."

She noticed me looking at her and scolded me.

But it didn't bother her. She was pouting.

"I don't have a problem with your looks, but, we are not an official thing to thus ask you to see only me and not Sara."

"Why should I see Sara and not you?"

Saying that, she blushed.

"D-Dumb. There it is again, your density oblivious to what you're saying."

"Did I say something weird? I just said why in the world should I see you and Sara, when I do it all the time. Is there something special about it?"

Unlike before, her loving eyes darkened.

"Dense ones are the worst."

She ignored me until the lunch bell rang.

As I went out with the others to get our food. I bumped into Jude.

"Hi."

"What's up."

Jude is a kid who used to be cocky. I beat him up when I accidentally drank alcohol.

I'm 16 so it's legal to do so.

The problem was that it was at an academy party and I don't quite remember how it happened.

I only know that before the beating, Jude was stalking Lucy, after that day he stopped.

Also he has been frequenting me to ask me love questions.

Apparently he recognized that he did wrong with a girl and now wants her forgiveness.

I told him everything that could help him, I am not an expert on the subject. So I don't understand why ask me.

Before he left he said to me.

"Emm. How's it going with Lucy?"

"How am I doing?"

Why is he asking that?

Did he find out that Lucy got mad at me recently?

How fast girl gossip flies.

"No. She only got mad at me recently, I'm thinking what to buy to get her to stop being mad at me."

"I see."

Jude said something that left me more quizzical.

"It must be hard to have your special someone not understand your feelings. At least she has someone she can forgive whatever she does."

"If you'll excuse me, I'll leave."

Jude left after saying that.

What did he mean?

Today everyone talks to me in code it seems.

After looking over the menu, I found something Lucy would like.

It's a dessert that only girls like, the problem is that said dessert costs ten platinum coins.

It's very expensive!

And besides, this is an academy for young people from different social classes! If there were only rich kids I would understand, but when most of your students are not from rich families.

Don't you think the price should be lower?

I don't plan to discuss the price so I'll just pay for it.

After paying for the dessert, I carried it on a tray to look for Lucy.

I walked to the garden to check if she was there.

I didn't find her, but two familiar people were.

"Lugh~. Open big."

"Aah~."

"Is it delicious?"

"Very much. Really delicious."

"Thanks, I made it myself."

In the center of the garden were Lugh and Diana, Lucy's younger sister.

The one who saved me from being killed by the acting female chairman and Randolf-san was her.

Apparently she thought I was a reincarnate because of my weird actions.

She was one too.

We talked and I found out that this was a game world.

Many more things.

She also said it was important for Lucy and the capture targets to bond, but when she saw the priestess mark on her sister she desisted for some reason.

Now she spends her days relaxing with her boyfriend Lugh.

They look very happy together, but that degree of love they show makes everyone nauseous.

"Who am I?"

My eyes were suddenly covered and a beautiful voice spoke to me from behind.

I didn't need to see who it was to recognize her.

Especially with those breasts pressing against my back.

"Sara. Stop playing."

As expected, Sara was behind me.

She grinned at me, placing her hands behind her back, giving a slight approach made her breasts jiggle.

She did that on purpose to get me to look at her.

"Hey. Is that dessert a gift for me?"

I came to my senses and denied it.

"I'm sorry. It's for Lucy."

"If you want I can buy you one."

She did her usual spoiled rich girl pouting.

"No point in that when you know you'll buy me one so I won't be sad and not because you want to see me happy, Hmph."

The female mind is a mystery.

After scratching my head wondering what to answer, Lucy came running in.

"Rudel, guess what Zero did in the science room..."

She wiped away her smile after noticing Sara.

Lucy and Sara had been friends since they were little girls I'm told.

But, one day they stopped being friends.

It seems to have happened after we met.

But wouldn't that be ridiculous?

That it's my fault?

I mean, wouldn't it make sense if it did?

The two stared at each other for a while.

"Good morning, Sara."

"Same here, Lucy, what business do you have with Rudel may I know?"

Lucy turned her head as she answered her.

"It's none of your business what I want to do with him."

"I see. In that case, we're leaving."

Sara grabbed my arm and pulled me with her.

But she wasn't the only one.

Lucy also grabbed my shoulder in anger.

"Wait! Where do you think you're taking Rudel?"

"Hah? It's obvious, we're going to go sit down for lunch together."

Lucy got angrier at Sara for saying that.

She buried her breasts in my arm.

"He should make it up to me for the morning! I'm not letting him go anywhere just because you say so!"

"So what of it? Rudel has priority to give me some of his time, there's a reason our relationship is special."

"Knowing each other since childhood isn't special! I've known him since childhood too and there's no difference in age!"

"That only applies to you. I've been with him since the first day we met, we grew up together, we even slept together as kids and bathed together too."

Hey, that last one isn't true.

The anger of both of us was rising to such a degree, that students and teachers started to move away from us.

Lucy was the first to burst out.

"I'm the sapling priestess and he's the guardian! I take precedence over you!"

"That's playing dirty woman! In that case..."

Sara took her hands off me and faced Lucy.

She lifted her breasts firmly to claim ground.

Due to her shirt on the inside of her skirt. Her breasts looked much larger than they were.

"I wear the best I have. Rudel loves my breasts so much!"

"They are the biggest breasts in the academy."

Lucy didn't back down in the face of Sara's towering twin mountains.

"Do you think that stops me?"

She unfastened the buttons of her jacket and faced Sara.

Both of their breasts were brawling wildly.

"My breasts may not be big like yours. But I rely on their softness and elasticity. Though in firmness I don't lose, my mother said that the women in our families always keep their breasts firm even after growing old!"

"You instead? Pff, they will fall off eventually."

Lucy teased Sara.

Sara was not far behind.

The two of them started saying things to each other that had nothing to do with what was going on and then...

"You stupid pretentious princess!"

"You fucking opportunistic priestess!"

The two started pulling each other's hair and then hitting each other.

Both of their underwear was visible because they fell to the floor.

Sara was wearing a black adult garment while Lucy was wearing cute pink clothes.

It was a wonderful sight, but...

"Stop!"

I stopped both of them.

I pulled them apart and calmed them down.

"You two, you shouldn't fight over nonsense. Moreover, why on earth would you do that?"

Sara replied after behaving like a spoiled girl being scolded.

"It's not my fault. It's Lucy's fault, she's the one looking to get away from me."

Lucy instead touched her hair.

"Sara is the one who is annoying. I just wanted to spend time with you, but she decides to pick on me just because she doesn't want to leave you alone."

I sighed at that.

"If you both want to spend time with me."

"Just ask. I'll take you for walks or buy things if you want. But don't fight."

Saying that, their faces flushed and they avoided looking at me.

"That's not fair. Using those words..."

"W-well. I have no problem if you want to spoil me like that."

After we stood up, I thought it was all over.

But it got weirder.

With loving looks they grabbed my arms and both said.

"Rudel. Let's go sit somewhere far away to eat."

"I want you to feed me. It's your punishment for making us fight."

For some reason I wanted to ask them the reason for their actions, but I better kept quiet and just nodded.

"All right. Let's go eat."

We walked away from everyone to go eat.

But for some reason the guys were looking at me with resentful looks and the girls were mumbling things.

Night fell and I went back to the Rosenberg mansion to sleep.

Sara asked me to take a bath with her, but I refused... Randolf-san was behind me so I couldn't even jokingly tell her I agreed.

After classes were over, Lucy kept hugging me before I got into the limousine, which Sara took the opportunity to hug me.

It was a tiring day, so it's time to sleep.

Zero who was next to me said.

"It was a good day, wasn't it Master?"

"Well, yesterday was so-so. But I have no complaints."

My days are calm and relaxing.

"Good night Zero."

"Good night Master Rudel."

Despite saying that, I couldn't close my eyes because of something I remembered.

Diana said that this country was the sequel to an annoying game.

The first part of that game is set in a country called Altfode Kingdom.

For some reason, I feel like I forget something important when I hear that name.

It must be my imagination. I'll see you again in the morning.

Anyway, good night to all.

To close this volume, I leave an illustration of Lucy and Sara fighting over Rudel: https://chan.sankakucomplex.com/es/post/show/18602004

The best was undoubtedly the clash of titans between the villain and the heroine: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/5482035
