"Morning, Sasha. You're quite early today."
It was still the break of dawn, and there was no sign of the spring sun yet.
Lyle woke up early as this will be his first day in this world’s school. Even though he has no expectation towards this world’s education, he was still excited as this will be a new experience for him. Unlike the plain and boring lessons in earth, this world seems like it will be different.
He lightly washed his face — since he was going to properly wash it again later — and put on his usual black shirt attire.
Then he went downstairs to the dining room and saw that Sasha had started to make breakfast.
"Good morning, Lyle-sama... please help yourself."
"Thanks."
She handed him a cup of coffee.
After a sincere word of gratitude, he emptied the glass in one breath, and then returned it to Sasha's outstretched hand.
“Good morning Lyle.”
“Good morn--- “
Sheila greeted Lyle. The wet brown-hair swayed gently with the wind, and a slight smile appeared on her face.
Lyle wanted to greet back but he was cut off by the spectacle in front of him.
—Because for some reason, she’s not wearing anything.
In other words she’s completely fresh out of the bath and naked.
“WHY AREN’T YOU WEARING ANYTHING!?”
Sasha was really shocked to see Sheila dressed up like that more than Lyle. She wasn’t still recovered from her shock the other day.
Lyle nods.
After Sasha woke up from fainting because of the shock caused by what Sheila said, Lyle tried to explain it from her. Still not recovered from the shock, she couldn’t quite understand what Lyle was saying.
Fortunately after some time, she collected her thoughts and finally understood the situation. Although for some reason, there is a heated rivalry between them and seemed like they can’t agree towards each other.
“Just why are thou so heated up so early in the morning! This one heard that it’s not strange for a wife to walk around in the house naked, especially if one's husband is in the house. There are also naked-apron, and ---“
“STOOOOOP!!! JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING THIS TIME!? AND WHERE THE HECK DID YOU HEARD THAT KIND OF NONSENSE THINGS!? IMMEDIATELY GET DRESS AND GET -----!!”
Lyle nods.
“How can thou scream so early in the morning? How can someone who lacks common sense like thou understand being a wife, right Lyle?”
“Kuu…I didn’t expect to be told off about common sense by someone who isn’t wearing anything as she walked in front of a man…"
'I'M DEFINITELY THE ONE WITH MORE COMMON SENSE HERE.........!'
"And I should have told you before. You have to listen to what others say until the end, you know? *sigh* now go back and get dressed."
Lyle nods again.
Giving up making sense on her, Sasha started telling her off while pushing her inside the bathroom.
Lyle who was just keeps nodding while quietly listening to them suddenly remembers something. He turned back and faced Sasha who was still pushing Sheila inside the bathroom.
“Ah, Sasha”
“What is it, Lyle-sama?”
“You see, starting today I will be going to class, that is why I will leave you the egg. Please take care of it!”
“Yes Lyle-sama. But Lyle-sama, can it be that egg is already dead? It has been more than six years since we found it yet it still hasn’t shown any changes at all.”
The egg they’re talking about is the same egg they found on the palace courtyard six years ago. Although Lyle don’t know what kind of egg it is, it might be a dangerous creature but still he took and take care of it. But for some reason, the egg hasn’t shown any signs of hatching. It didn’t even move or shake nor grow big. It’s just like a rock sculpted as like an egg.
“I don’t know why but I’m sure it’s not dead. That egg is still slowly absorbing mana. Whenever I use
“Yes Lyle-sama!”

“––With that said, he is Shin Kariya who will be attending this school from today. Everyone, there are probably many things which you aren’t used to, but I hope you will get along with him.”
The school building: Second floors, 1st years class A classroom.
Receiving the introduction of the female instructor in charge of the class Mirin Bluebird, Lyle made an expression showing that he did not know what to say.
After leaving his house, Lyle went to his class. Calmly walking towards the corridor he arrive at the room with a
The class doesn't seem like there are an equal number of guys and girls. Perhaps, the number of girls might be a little bit more.
Following that, the person who appears to be the homeroom teacher turns her gaze on him.
She seems to be around twenty-two. Deep blue suit and High heels. In addition, including her beauty and dignified personality, she seemed to boast of great popularity among the female students.

It might have been some sort of fortune that he was put in the class which such an instructor took charge of.
“Well, do you have anything you want to add, shin-kun?"
"Nothing in particular."
"Then, you don't need to introduce yourself anymore?"
"If that's okay."
"Well, in that case………. it's not. Please introduce yourself."
Lyle’s expression clouds as he look at the students with half-opened eyes. By now, he was already done checking the faces of most of the students. All of them seemed like elites such as prided nobles and royalty.
‘This will be a pain! I should have asked her to put me in a more normal class!’
With half-opened eyes, Lyle smile faintly to the elites gathered in this classroom. Then gave a simple introduction of him.
"...... it's troubling when I'm suddenly asked to say something about myself but ——— just as the appearance suggests - uncivilized and savage, Shin Kariya. Misogynistic, idiotic and foolish. Vulgar, brutal, and hedonistic, sometimes a good person yet cruel. I'm just a lowly commoner who values love, peace and justice. I just want to become a lowly member at the edge of the class and I love being alone so much that i want to holed up myself, alone in the deepest part of a mountain, so better keep your distance from me, and please don't concern yourself with me too much. That’s all thank you!"
‘Yosh! With that simple and precise introduction they will never bother or even concern themselves to me’ is what Lyle was thinking. He thought with that not-so-simple introduction they will now leave him alone but unbeknownst to him, he just make it worst.
The whole room fell silent. Deathly silent as if a meteorite just suddenly fell in the classroom or maybe as if the time suddenly stops.
A few of them appear to dislike him.
Some was watching indifferently.
Some watch him from the shadows while thinking. ‘Uwaa, it seems a problem child!’ ‘A commoner? Hmph how unsightly’ and some others.
Then a small buzzing and whispering voices filled the classroom.
Well, it’s no wonder.
With that kind of pompous self-introduction, who wouldn't?
Moreover, that a commoner person like him was admitted in Class A, filled with elites, nobles and royalties––
Everyone probably hates it, too, and honestly even they don’t want to associate with him.
“… Lyle-sama!?”
As Lyle was inwardly praising himself for his great introduction or so what he believes, he suddenly heard such a voice.
“––Eh?”
A blond-haired girl who was in a seat on the window side of the classroom.
She has long, large fox ears in the top of her head and her fluffy hair was brought together with two ribbons.
And, her rich chest which greatly pushed up her uniform brought about a mysterious charm to the girl’s calm and collected face.
“Lyle? Isn’t his name Shin?”
The students were whispering with each other, wondering what the girl called him. Alarmed by the sudden call, he immediately dash and cover her mouth with his hands.
“Ahahahaha I think you’ve got the wrong person here, I’m shin, S-H-I-N and you are…….. eh? Errr, are you by any chance, Princess Feme…!?”
“Yes, t-that’s right l-long time n-no see L-lyle-sama.”
To Lyle’s question, the girl nodded and confirmed.
Princess Feme Foxtail.
Princess of the beastman kingdom and daughter of the king. Furthermore, she was Lyle’s fiancée. Although unlike his father who often visit the palace in this past six years, Princess Feme didn’t at all.
‘hm? Don’t tell me, this school-plot isn’t my father’s plan but that beastman king?..... nah couldn’t be’
“Ssshhhh! don’t tell anyone my name! Call me Shin, okay?” he whispered.
“eh?... ah okay!”
Although bewildered, she obediently nodded. While Lyle and Feme was whispering at each other, ‘Isn’t Princess Feme’s fiancée the prince of the dragonfang kingdom?’ ‘cheating?’ the surrounding students began talking and whispering about their relationship.
“Then please take care of me Princess Feme.”
As Lyle exchanged greetings like this, the instructor Mirin said
“Everyone, don’t make noise. I'm starting the lesson. Shin your seat will be In that empty seat."
With Mirin’s voice, the classroom regained calm instantly. As she pointed the empty seat is located in the last row beside the window.
Lyle sits at his desk. He looks down at his table with half-opened eyes, and gently put his bag on the floor. For some reason, there are fierce glares coming from the people around him, although he just shrugged his shoulders and ignore it.
Lyle narrowed his eyes and look out the window. He endured the gazes of his classmates and somehow took the class.
“…Hmph”
A girl who woke up looked at this as she seemed to be in a bad mood. And, Lyle did not notice her gaze.
