Noble heirs are entrusted with managing their territory’s towns to prepare for succession. Ballad-kun must run Ronma Town while on punishment, but he’s been slacking off and leaving everything to the maids of…

Chapter 10: Mike and Pome “When did you get in the back seat?” “Pome said she smelled the delicious pork soup, so I looked and saw Sir Ballad in a strange carriage—and then we jumped in!” The kids from the orphanage usually help out at shops in town to learn job skills. Mike and her…

Chapter 9: The Magic Car “What are you trying to make, Young Master?” In response to Gant’s inquiry, I answered honestly. “I’m thinking of making a Magic Car. It’s a vehicle that moves using magical stones as energy.” “That’s a car that moves without horses, not a carriage, right? I’ve heard rumors that something like…

Chapter 8: Alchemy Magic and Space Magic Four days after my reincarnation. After doing my morning walk and radio exercises, I finished breakfast and started on paperwork. For me, an uncle with over ten years of work experience, playing the role of a 15-year-old villainous noble was a piece of cake. In fact, to increase…

Chapter 4: Otherworldly Cuisine Well, it’s only the second day after my reincarnation, and there’s still more to do. Dieting isn’t just about exercise; eating habits are crucial too. The amount served for dinner on the first day was outrageous. It looked like something you’d see on one of those massive eating contests on TV—…

Chapter 3: Ideal vs. Reality Standing in front of the mirror, I see the figure of Ballad. With blonde hair and blue eyes, Chubby, or maybe even fat. My stomach is quite protruding. I remember my nickname at the academy was “Pig Noble” and “Failed Orc” whispered behind my back. At this point, even if…

Chapter 2: Morning in the Other World I woke up in the morning. Looking to my side, I saw the maid, Iris, sleeping completely naked. It wasn’t a dream from last night after all. As I quietly gazed at the bare Iris, she woke up, stretched, and said, “Please make sure to keep your promise.”…
