Reincarnated as the Son of a Vicious Lord! ~When I Was Having Fun Learning Magic, I Had to Get Rid o

The school closing ceremony is over and the long vacation starts today.

Most of the students, including me, are going home.

I want to see my servants after a long time.

I want to see Sebastian’s face, and I want to eat the chef’s delicious food.

I’d like to see Katherina-sensei if possible, but …… she’s not here, is she?

“Is Natalie going home?”

“Of course, ……. I have a lot of work to do.”

You’re a duchess, aren’t you?

I mean, She is the daughter of a duke family …….

She is such a great girl.

Looks like she will be busy.　

What about me? I’ve been basically neglected.

“Are you leaving?”

” Father’s been bugging me to come home early.”

“Well, ……. Well, I guess I’ll see you on the first day of school.”

“Yeah, …… take care.”

After leaving Natalie, I went back to the dormitory.

Then, I took the luggage I had packed.

I’m also leaving school.

There is very little to take home with me, so I take my light luggage and get into the carriage.

I leave the school, take a look at the streets of the royal capital, and then leave the capital.

It’s a full day on the road.

As I entered Pepper territory, I saw a large mansion — my parents’ house.

Once again, it’s a big house, isn’t it?

We arrived in front of the mansion.

The coachman spoke a few words with the gatekeeper, and the gate was opened.

The carriage went through the gate and entered the grounds.

I’m back after a long time. ……

“Welcome back, Owen-sama.”

“Sebas-san ……!”

In front of the house, Sebas was waiting for me.

I had given him the date and approximate time of my return in advance.

I got out of the carriage and ran up to Sebastien.

“Are you fine?”

“Yes, ……!”

I hadn’t seen him in a while, and he had a calm expression on his face.

“The carriage ride must have been exhausting. Come inside …….”

Sebastian led the way into the house.

“Welcome back, Owen-sama.”

“Eh, ah, uwaa!”

I was startled.

The servants were all lined up in a row.

They all greeted each other at once.

That’s …… surprising.

The servants all seemed to be welcoming me.

“Why …… are you all here?”

“We have all been looking forward to your return, Owen-sama.”

Sebas smiles.

Oh, …….

I’ve come home to these kind people, haven’t you?

To the people I love.

My eyes are burning.

“Thank you all for welcoming me.”

I was a little embarrassed to see everyone looking at me.

But I look back at them.

Ah, there’s the …… chef!

I can’t help but look forward to today’s cooking.

You want to be recognized by these people. …… You’re aiming to become a great wizard, aren’t you?

I hope so so that everyone can live happily ever after.

And that’s when I look at each one of them. Huh? I felt a sense of discomfort…

“Katherina-sensei! Why are you here……?”

As if blending in with the servants, there was Katherina-sensei.

She was so natural there that I almost missed her.

“A little surprise, Owen-sama.”

Katherina-sensei smiles like a child who has successfully played a prank.

I’m so happy to see …… you.

I wasn’t expecting to see Katherina-sensei, so it’s the best surprise.

I run-up to her.

“How was your school life?”

“Yes, it was fun. It was fun. ………… but ……”

“But ……?”

“I’m not …… ready yet.”

I remember …… Dominic, …….

“Owen-sama looks a lot more respectable now than he did a year ago.”

“Respectable?”

“Yes, sir. He has become a fine man.”

Is that so?

I don’t feel like it, but …… am I moving forward properly?

“I don’t know what …… magic is anymore. I don’t even know what the right thing to do is. ……”

“I’m sure that …… Owen-sama has thought this through in his way.”

“I was naive. Katherina-sensei taught me that magic can also be a deadly weapon…”

“After all, …… you have a respectable man.”

She smiled at me. A reassuring smile. And a smile that contains a kindness that envelops you.

“—— magic is a wish.”

“A wish ……? That’s what Chris-sensei said. ……”

“Hmmm. I was the one who taught her that. The power to give form to wishes is what magic is all about. I think it’s important for those who use …… magic to know what they wish for. ……What do you wish for, Owen-sama?”

“I …… wish for the happiness of those closest to me.”

I declared to everyone when I left here.

I would make everyone happy,……, and I haven’t changed my mind about that.

This is …… the place where I started.

“If that is your wish, then there is nothing wrong with it. Please follow the path that Owen-sama has in mind. I’m sure you’ll find …… your ideal there.”

Oh, I knew Katherina-sensei was amazing.

She made my heart light in an instant.

She is a great …… person.

“Thank you, Katherina-sensei

I’ve been saved many times by Katherina-sensei…

And …… she saved me again.

“Owen-sama. Welcome back.”

“I’m home!”
