《Re:Otaku Prince life in another world》Chapter 51: [ A burial caused by Irresponsibility ]
Advertisement
[ @[email protected] here ... I take back my words~ I decided to throw two or three more chapters today because I think I wouldn't be able to come back here for a few days. Something suddenly came up that really needs my attention ... Who knows how many days, maybe two, three or more, oh well~ ]
"....."
Lyle looked at the Headmaster with his deep, pitch-black eyes. Even the small snake floating beside him was baring its fangs towards her.
"What? You don't want to?"
The Headmaster ignored the small snake but stared directly at Lyle. In her face was neither, anger or blame as she only gave him an innocent pure smile.
Her gaze as if she was looking at her beloved --- or is what the other people who saw them was.
"......... Haa~"
Seeing her like this, Lyle could only let out a deep sigh and then smiled bitterly while shaking his head.
All of a sudden, the pressure that was like a tall towering mountain pressing their backs had instantly disappeared.
After a moment that felt like an eternity, the pressure finally disappeared. The students used this chance to frantically take a breath. Though there were those who accidentally pissed and vomited on themselves…
Feeling relieved, the students who can finally move immediately crawl away from Lyle while looking at him with fearful eyes.
Their stares looked like they were looking at a monster.
Even the prideful and arrogant princess; Misuzu couldn't help but step a few steps back.
No one dared to look at Lyle directly nor gaze at his pitch-black enchanting eyes.
"... Good and I thought you would be so stubborn~" The Headmaster jokingly said while looking at him appreciatively.
Because Lyle obeyed her, she somehow gained some face in this situation.
For that, she was rather grateful towards him.
Bitterly shaking his head, Lyle wore a bitter smile.
"As if I would refuse a request from my precious darling~" Very polite, very unexpected, and sounded very suggestively intimate.
Such a deep, low, authoritative voice ! It sounds just too good, that the cold and detached voice he used earlier seemed like nothing but a lie, an illusion.
Moreover, it was absolutely a male voice that, the instant it was heard, any girl would be done for.
The students was completely dumbstruck.
They didn't know that, because of Lyle's sudden transformation a few days ago, his voice had become much more charming and beautiful, his mind and temperament was also greatly enhanced and refined, making him more mature than he originally was ...
Smirking at him, the Headmaster glared at him before saying, "Don't call me Darling you brat! ... Anyway, come with me..."
After saying so, she immediately turned around and began walking out the classroom door.

"... wait"
However, she was stopped by Lyle.
"What is it? Is there something else you want to do?"
"Yeah..."
"What is it?"
"...I want to give this guy a proper burial, is that okay with you ?" His voice was somewhat more formal now, and his voice was already so ridiculously beautiful to listen to.
His voice resonated in the whole classroom, a gentle warmth that seemed to cast a spell. All the people who heard him suddenly felt something crushing their hearts, causing their eyes to moisten.
All the people; especially girls present couldn't help but become entranced and actually forgot the fear they were harboring just now.
Lyle answered while gently caressing his desk as if expressing his sympathy towards it.
Seeing him like that, the Headmaster as well as the other people who saw his actions couldn't help but be bewildered.
Give a proper burial ? For a desk ?
"What do you mean by that? We can just clean it up afterwards you know..."
The headmaster shot him a doubtful look before saying what she thoughts.
Lyle wore a bitter smile. Turning his head around him, his gaze caught the surrounding's shameful and embarrassed expressions.
"...Guess so, however darling even if you had erased and clean all the filth for this child, the fact that he suffered something like this will never be forgotten. Whether it's an object or a living thing, had a soul or not, a noble or a commoner, a monster or a hero, they still need to be respected.
We breath the same air, stood the same ground, see the same things and felt the same feelings. However, I'm ashamed that these kind of things were already forgotten ... for what ? Status ? Appearance ? Wealth ? or maybe ... beliefs ?
For such superficial things, we actually forgotten that simple thing ... Humility.
A very simple act of Modest behavior, selflessness, and the giving of respect. Giving credit where credit is due; not unfairly glorifying one's own self just to inflate their very own useless ego ... but that was actually forgotten."
Lyle's words struck many hearts ...
His words was like a million arrows that penetrated everyone’s heart.
The surrounding became and solemn as all the people inside the classroom lowered their heads to cover their eyes, but their shivering bodies revealed their feelings.
All they could do was clench their fist tightly.
Ashamed ... they should be.
"... And besides, I was the one sitting here thus it should have been my responsibility. However, I've neglected that same responsibility ... Although I'm ashamed of my irresponsibility, this is the only thing I could do for it."
"....."
The headmaster didn't say anything but seeing Lyle's stubborn look filled with pity, bitterness, helplessness and many other negative emotions, she could only let out a sigh as she nodded her head.

"... Thanks, I'll be sure to compensate you for this."
"No need ... this time is our fault anyway."
Lyle gave her a grateful look before snapping his fingers.
The sound echoed all over the place causing all the people in the surrounding remembered a particular incident that left a huge impression on them
Under their dumbfounded faces once again, a 20 - 25 inches long serpent-like dragon with its body made up of flames appeared.
It wriggled around Lyle's hand as if it really was alive. It even looked so excited as it rubbed its fiery head towards Lyle's clothes.
The surrounding students could only looked at this spectacle with a stunned expression.
In their minds, only one thought flashed. He was the one who saved them in that failed summoning event!
Lyle knew that it was already useless to conceal who he was because of what happened today. He somehow blown his fuse thus revealing his real identity.
He's not some Manga and Anime protagonist that can stomach such insults and bullying just because they find it childish or troublesome. He was the type of guy that would seek revenge for the slightest grievances.
Although he had already assumed that he wouldn't be able to conceal his identity for a long time, he didn’t expect it would happen so quickly.
Sooner or later his abilities and skills would have attracted attention and there would have been major forces that would start eyeing him. He was just a young boy right now but he knew he was possessing an enormous power that was completely at a different level from the people his age. Thus, other people will surely try everything to get him and if not, they will then destroy him.
Therefore, unless he had achieved invincibility, he decided to try his best to keep a low profile and act in secret. After all, you should keep quiet about your wealth to better safeguard it.
Although it would be interesting to stay and low and just follow the flow wherever it goes. However, that would be impossible right now.
Therefore, Lyle did not plan to hide his identity anymore and thought of a different way.
Since he decided to act, then he would do so thoroughly and completely.
Although one girl had already suspected this, after seeing his real strength, that girl couldn't help but still gasped, and in particular Misuzu and Belial's eyes widened in shock.
They now understood that for every mountain, there would always be a higher one.
On the other hand, what made people thought cute and adorable , was the small silver-colored snake's actions. They had no way of figuring out what it was nor its way of thinking, but knew that this little thing knew how to feel jealous.
When the flaming serpent-like dragon adorably rubbed its head at Lyle's clothes and acted like a spoiled child, it also quickly swam over and rubbed its tiny cute head to Lyle's cheeks, using those big purple crystalline eyes to look at him pitifully.
Its expression was exactly like a favored daughter hoping for her father’s embrace. That gaze was really unbearable, causing many female students to had a thought of embracing it.
Lyle didn't mind the two spoiled little kids and casted his gaze towards the pitiful desk.
"I'm sorry little buddy ..." He softly muttered, at the same time, he pressed his right hand onto the desk and smash it into pieces with his palm muscles.
“Oh God!” People who were standing exclaimed aloud, and unconsciously took a step back.
Even the Headmaster, teacher Mirin and Feme couldn't help but be inwardly surprised.
They had already knew Lyle's strength. However, they never thought that Lyle would be so physically powerful as well!
They know that these desk was especially made from a good materials so they were known to be tough and durable.
However ...
Did Lyle just smashed it bare-handedly? This was beyond their imaginations — was it even possible for a humans to be this strong? Even if he had a lineage of a dragon, this was still incomprehensible!
Lyle ignored his surrounding and looked at the flaming serpentine dragon and muttered, "... Flame Dragon"
With this words, the eyes of the fiery serpentine dragon became as sharp as knives as it immediately coiled itself from the broken desk and spewed a crimson-colored flames, reducing the desk into dust in an instant.
Lyle shook his head in bitterness as he turned around and started walking towards the Headmaster who was looking at him incredulously.
They felt that they accidentally awoke a sleeping dragon.
What's worse, they picked a fight with a monster they shouldn't have.
Realizing this, even the prideful students with nobility felt a chill crawl down their spines. With such an enemy pursuing them from behind, it made them all feel nervous and uneasy.
There were also some who were instantly awestruck and looked at his desolate figure with a sparkling and worshipful eyes. It's as if they finally met an idol they had longed for ...
No one dared to block Lyle's path, much less stand near him. As soon as he began walking, the crowd instantly parted, giving him a huge path towards the door.
The flaming dragon who finished burning the desk also immediately swam over towards Lyle and coiled itself on his waist. Feeling satisfied, it gradually faded and disappeared, leaving only smoke rising in the air.

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.
