Until I, A Fallen Nobleman, Was Called the Great Sage With My Hazure Skill “Super Jack-of-All-Trades

“That’s why the 23rd king decided to expand the food supply first.”

After the physical fitness test, we put on our school clothes and listened to the teacher’s lesson in silence. We were now in history class, and he was talking about the great famine of the past. It sounded like a dream, since it was two hundred years ago and all the territories are rich now because of it.

Especially since I have memories of my previous life, I find history to be a fun way to unravel the past of this world and compare it to the previous world. In my original world, I used to cram my studies just to get good grades, but when I face history with a proper understanding of its meaning, I can see the hardships, luck, and people of that time.

“I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy schoolwork after all this time.”

“Hmm?”

“What’s the matter, Lars-kun?”

“No, it’s nothing. Let’s study hard.”

Luciel and Nora wondered why I was laughing and called out to me. It’s not a problem, I said, turning my attention to the blackboard.

…… *Clang-Clang*

“It’s here ……!”

“I’m so hungry!”

“Hey, Jack and Ryuuze, you haven’t said your go orders yet. Makina, please.”

“Yes! Stand! Bow! Dash!”

“Makina, you’re cheating!?”

Makina, a beautiful black-haired girl, disappears from the class as soon as she greets. She said bow, but didn’t do it, and her feet head onto the door. What was with all the teasing at the time about the magic?

I feel like I’ve been watching Makina all day. The gap between her appearance and her behavior is so great that I never get tired of it ……

So it’s lunchtime, and Makina, Ryuuze, and Jack have rushed out to participate in a common battle for the “School Canteen’s bread”.

There are two kinds of bread: Dangerous Hot Dog and Honey Cream Toast, which are very hot and very sweet. Apparently, it’s famous in the academy.

Now, it’s hard to buy food for lunch when you don’t have a lot of money to spare. I have some money saved up, but I plan to use it as little as possible. It seems that I need a lot of money to become the lord again, at least ten million.

If I want to keep the money for when my father returns, I can’t spend extra money, so naturally, I’ll have to eat lunch. And…

“Nola, let’s eat together!”

“Ah, Dedite-kun, okay.”

“Hello, you must be Lars-kun’s older brother.”

“Yes. You’re Luciela’s little sister, right?”

Luciel nodded his head and shook his hand. Yes, my brother is supposed to come to my class for lunch. He’s been eating with his friends, but he said he’d choose this if he had a girlfriend.

“Where’s Nora’s lunch?”

“This is mine!”

“What a Cute lunch box! It’s got a lot of vegetables in it.”

“Dedite-kun’s father shares it with me. The director said the meat is expensive. He said the donations have decreased since the lord changed.”

“I see. ……”

I see. I guess I’ve been subtly influenced by these things. Well, it’s something I’ll have to think about later, so I decided to just enjoy the conversation.

“How was your physical fitness test?　Tired, right?”

“The two of us were playing, so I’m fine.”

“How about you, Luciel?”

“I’m, you know.”

When my brother and Nora started to make a lovey-dovey space, I took the opportunity to talk to Luciel. If I don’t take a proactive stance at times like this, I may find myself alone forever.

It’s not a secret that Luciel is the only girl I can talk to since the remaining girls, Kuderica and Helena, went to the garden with together and Makina went to the battle for the bread. As I was wondering what the rest of the class was doing, Luciel opened her lunch box.

“It’s a sandwich. The one with jam looks good.”

“Do you want to try it? I’d like to trade it for Lars-kun’s tomato.”

“You like tomatoes?”

“Yes. I like them ripe.”

I put two slices of tomato on the lid and Luciel smiles as she hands me a jam sandwich.

“Here you go!”

“Thank you.”

*Snatch*!

“Ah!?”

But the jam sandwich was never in my hands. Because it was snatched away the moment I tried to pick it up.

“W-Who is it! My sandwich!”

“*Munch-Munch*…… Strawberry jam is delicious after all!”

It was Luciel’s sister, Luciela, who was sipping a jam sandwich with a big smile on her face.

“Hey! I’m the one who exchanged them, what are you doing?”

‘What? Did you? I thought it was mine because you held it out in front of me.”

“Obviously, Luciel was going to give it to me!”

“Oh, sister, you can’t do that, that’s bad manners. Lars-kun, you can have this one.”

“Oh …… an angel is here.”

I picked up the jam sandwich this time and put it in my mouth. The jam is not too sweet and goes well with the bread, making me want a cup of tea.

“It’s delicious. Thank you, Luciel.”

“You’re welcome!”

I took a bite of my own tomato and egg sandwich, gulping it down with my small mouth. I looked down at my lunch box to see if I could clean it up–

“What!?”

My lunch box had disappeared.

“*Munch-Munch* …… I guess it’s the same as Dedite-kun’s lunch …… The Omelet is as good as ever.”

“What are you doing!? Don’t eat people’s lunches without permission!”

“Oh, sorry. I just wanted to make sure it was the same as the one Dedite-kun brings.”

“I’m his brother, so of course it’s the same ……! Oh, there’s not a single grain of rice left. ……”

I was amazed at how clean the food was, and instead of being angry, I was dismayed. Well, Nina’s food is delicious, so I gave up quickly. 

“Oh well. I’ll tell Nina it was delicious. I the sandwich, so I think I’m okay.”

“Lars-kun, you want some?”

“I’ll give you one of my rice balls.”

“Oh, it’s okay. I’m fine.”

“I’m sorry …… because of my sister ……”

When Luciel says she’s sorry, she gives me a sack of money with an embarrassed look on her face. 

“Hmm”

“What is it?”

“It’s my lunch. It’s for you.”

“No, it’s okay? I don’t mind.”

When I said no softly. 

“You’re making me look like the bad guy!”

“You’re the bad guy!? Don’t get mad at me!”

“Bu~. As I said, I’m giving it to you.”

(T/N: I think the “Bu~” part here is her puffing her cheeks.)

She didn’t seem to back down, so I reluctantly took the sack and opened it. Inside it was,

“…… two giant rice balls ……”

“Isn’t it great! You’ll be full!”

“In case you’re wondering, why this choice?”

“I’m glad you asked! Because I can hide behind my textbook when I eat onigiri! Lately, though, they’re getting harder to eat because people are more cautious.”

“Fast Eating?”

“Ugh …… embarrassing ……”

For someone with a face like hers, she was a world apart from her sister, who ate her sandwich slowly. I knew that character was important when I looked at Luciel–

Older Sister, free! The Older Brother was very serious, so the difference is even greater.

Thank you for reading!

[Afterword Theater]

I think I’ll have a chapter on Friday.

“You’ve been busy.”

That’s a lot of work …… I don’t even know what time I’ll be home ……
