The person standing at the place where the voice came from was Frau Sprague, the game's main heroine.

　I never expected that... that's a fact.

　But, upon careful consideration, it was also something that was easily predictable.

"By the way, what are you doing at this time...?"

　What was you doing from the beginning? I asked her, already knowing what she was doing.

"As you can see, it's a sword swing."

　That's true. I saw her practicing. It would be stupid to not realize that after watching.

　Well, you can tell even without watching it.

　This girl, Frau, is a very hard worker, always working hard to become stronger.

　If anyone is doing anything during their lunch break, it has to be her.

　In the game's setting, Frau doesn't even have time to eat lunch.

"Because I'm a loser... I have to work many times harder than other people."

　Well, that doesn't mean she's particularly strong among the royal family; rather, she's in a position that could be described as a dropout.

"What did you think of my behavior?"

"...Hmm."

　I was at a loss for words in response to Frau’s words.

　To be honest, I have to say it's poor.

　I've only seen it a few times, but still, I can tell.

　Her body's axis is unstable, her sword movements are weak, and she lacks speed.

　I can't really find anything to praise...

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"...It makes me depressed when you hesitate like that."

"Sorry. I don't have anything to praise you for."

"No?! Even if you say it clearly it will hurt me!"

"Hmm, that's true."

"Come on! If you say so, then show me how it works."

"Oh."

　Frau, who was starting to show her anger, pushed the wooden sword she was holding towards me.

　Practice batting...practice batting, huh.

"Well, that's fine."

　Although I was a bit worried, I nodded to Frau's words and took hold of the wooden sword I had received.

"... Phew."

　I take a breath and slowly raise my sword.

"Haa."

　Then, remembering something I did in gym class in my previous life, I swung my sword down.

"Ha, ha, ha."

　Repeat that several times.

"Well, is it like this? I don't use the sword much so I'm not confident."

　My basic fighting style is bare-handed, using my entire body.

　I don't use the sword much, so I'm not very confident in my swings.

"……beautiful"

　nevertheless.

"No, it was beautiful... the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!"

"No, I think that's a bit of an exaggeration."

　Despite this, in my previous life I was born as the son of a dojo that taught martial arts with a long history, and I was taught how to fight from an early age, so I have continued to hone my strength in this life as well.

　Even so, when it comes to sword skills, I would definitely lose to the knight commander of this country.

　I know because I've seen it.

"This is so amazing! Why is this happening?"

"Even so, I am the only son of a margrave who is expected to be strong."

　I'm not just a loner.

　A Margrave is someone who will immediately be on the front lines when a battle breaks out with another country.

　Border defense.

　The only thing required of the Margrave entrusted with this task is strength.

　They couldn't accept that I, born into such a family, was a weakling.

"It was so amazing.... beautiful. It was beautiful."

　Her dissatisfied appearance from moments ago was now gone.

　Frau praises me to death.

"If it made you happy, that was good."

　This is it. Frau's good points are...!

　When I was playing the game, Frau was my favorite character.

　The reason I like her is because of her earnest and earnest attitude in her quest for strength. Her gaze shows her honest attachment to this strength. It's beautiful.

　Hmm, I didn't expect it to be like this in real life too, not just in a game...!

　Although I have the unfortunate experience of being reincarnated as the younger brother of a villainess, the nutrients I obtain from being reincarnated into this kind of game world have made me healthy.

"Me too...Me too! Hey, Arc! No, Master!"

"Oh?"

　With that in mind, I was a little taken aback by Frau's words, who had heated up more than I'd expected.

"Would you take me on as your apprentice? I need to get stronger! Could you teach me your skills?"

"……ah"

　I know this line.

　That's what Frau said to the main character of the game.

　Huh? Is this making me the main character in the events with Frau?

"...Okay."

　Well, it's fine to ruin the main story of the game, right?

　Anyway,

　It's not so bad to be looked up to as master by Frau, my favorite character!

　In fact, I even think it's wonderful!

"real!"

"Yes. From now on, I'll be your master. Now, as your master, let me give you one piece of advice!"

"Oh! What is it?"

"Well then, let's have lunch first."

"...Huh?"

"Your body is your capital. If you don't eat a lot, you won't grow. You have to build your body first. And for that, you need food."

　Frau cuts into her lunch hour to practice swinging her sword.

　But this is an incredibly foolish plan. You'll get stronger by eating ten bowls of rice than by spending time practicing your batting swing.

　Well, there's no white rice in this world.

"Come on, eat as much as you like!"
