Moreover, there are factors interfering with a tight schedule.

"Visit the family branch located on the Terra planet."

It was a message that unexpectedly came from the Monarch family.

In this outing, I wasn't planning to do anything related to the family, so I was perplexed.

Why now?

During my school days, there hadn't been a single contact until now.

Is it because of grades after all?

Lemon's situation is a bit complicated.

But he was also half out of the family's sight.

If it weren't for the sudden manifestation of this ability, he would have never received attention in his lifetime.

Perhaps he would have taken on a suitable position among numerous noble relatives and lived on the rear lines of the ruined family.

"Yeah. Since I'm going to meet anyway..."

I closed the panel with the message in mind.

Fortunately, it's not the main house.

The academy is located on the outer side of the two satellites orbiting the Terra planet, and the branch is on that Terra planet.

If I time it right, I can get there in five hours.

"I'm ready."

"Right away, Cadet."

A short-range transport space shuttle landed in front of me.

With a sleek design and a smooth hull with a length of 3m.

A space shuttle with a refined design that touches people's hearts.

"...Wow."

To me, who had only seen modern crude rockets, such a sleek item looked almost too fragile for space flight.

But I wasn't worried.

Lemon's memory.

The Lemon of the past was a skilled driver.

His skills were above average, threatening to the level of veteran space scouts.

What was in front of me was a vehicle that Lemon cherished.

I sat in the seat, licking my lips.

"It's killer."

Perhaps one of the few good things Lemon did was not selling this when he joined the academy.

To be able to fly in space with such a cool spaceship, I would have never imagined that such a day would come.

There won't be another moment as thrilling as this.

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

At least for now, the deep sense of pride filled my heart so much that I could forget the resentment towards the protagonist who had been rolling around in my mind.

"Okay. Close the door for now. Pressure-check...engine check!"

I manipulated the space shuttle again, groping my memory once more.

I turned off the AI for autonomous driving.

For the sake of my perfect first experience, I had to get rid of such things in advance.

Soon, flight preparations were complete.

When I pulled the lever in the center, the space shuttle slowly rose.

I already felt free.

With this, I can go anywhere.

-This is the control tower. 00929. Shuttle take-off is permitted.

The permit from the control tower was emitted through my headphones.

Now, as long as I don't invade the air defense zone set up to protect the Terra planet, I can move as I please.

I got a grip during the adjustment period and accelerated.

With the acceleration, a strong pressure electrified my whole body.

"Faster."

The shuttle broke through the speed of sound in an instant.

And it accelerated rapidly.

"With this speed, I may really not need five hours of travel. No, let's enjoy the ride a little more."

I restricted the shuttle from accelerating, maintaining it at the current constant speed.

Then I looked at the Terra planet, which was getting closer and closer.

One giant land floating in this vast space.

A green planet, slightly different in shape from Earth but with the same beauty, filled my eyes.

"Ha..."

A shallow breath came out on its own.

To think that such a huge world was created in my hands makes me feel ticklish in my heart.

Even if my chest was bursting with joy, in my head, the imminent disaster approaching this planet seemed clear and vivid.

Bang!

Suddenly, the hand that gripped the control was stiff.

Yeah, it's not time to enjoy it.

As I have to return to the academy within the given time, I need to reduce unnecessary detours.

"...Hmm."

Still, it's okay to try this and that on the way.

I timidly recalled the extreme maneuvers possible with the space shuttle using Lemon's memory.

Among them, are the maneuvers that cannot be attempted without a physique corresponding to a superhuman.

It stimulates my spirit of challenge.

"Great."

I pulled the lever vigorously.

'Let's enjoy!!!!!'

Whehwwwwwww----

In the end, the arrival time was finalized up to three hours, as expected.

"Welcome, young master Leonard Monarch."

The branch was so large, making it hard for me to believe that this is just a branch of a ruined family. Given the title of "Second Earth" and the natural environment of Terra, the land value was roughly estimated to be of considerable worth.

"Hello."

"I'll escort you this way."

The man who introduced himself as Eric briefly glanced at me and walked ahead.

Is my reaction that strange?

Well, Lemon wasn't that confident of a person.

To the strong, he was weak; to the weak, he was strong.

He was truly nothing more than an insignificant person.

"He's waiting here."

"Who...?"

"His esteemed, Duke Roland Monarch."

Roland Monarch.

I hesitated.

He didn't appear as a character in my work, so I could only identify him through Lemon's memory.

Roland Monarch is a direct descendant of the main house, with a son, a daughter, and a son born from a whore.

He divided it into what is known as a child born of pure blood and an extramarital affair.

Of course, the child is Leonard Monarch.

Roland Monarch was extremely cruel to Lemon, who was born from a non-vigilant relationship, so obviously he wasn't brought up in a good environment.

And of course, the stepmother hated him.

"It's been a long time. Sit down."

"Greetings, Duke."

Roland Monarch's face was just like Lemon's memory.

55 years old.

Cold, stoic.

And beside him sat a woman in her mid-30s.

"Hello. It's been a long time. Mom."

Because of the title 'Mom', her face was hard.

"You..."

"I didn't know you'd call me here. You're usually at the main house."

"...Something's come up, Eric serve the tea."

Eric appeared as if he was preparing.

He put down one teacup for each of us and carefully poured the tea that had been prepared.

Thanks to that, the gloves Eric was wearing opened and revealed a very well-trained wrist.

At least he's at the level of a 3rd-year superhuman from the academy. After all, it's expected since this is a real base that sends troops to the frontline.

I carefully took a sip of tea, timidly looking for the courtesy part of Lemon's memory.

"The tea is very good. It's just like 'Monacri' that you like."

"... You've become talkative. Did you enjoy your life at the academy?"

"Well, I don't know when you become so curious about me, can we dive straight into the business, esteemed duke?"

I blurted out unexpectedly.

Have I looked into Lemon's memory too much? It seems he had built up too much hatred for his family.

"... I understand."

There was a sharp change in my father's emotion but he quickly subdued it.
