Chapter 2: Defeating the Sword Saint Using Game Knowledge

“Elena-sama, it’s not like that!”

“Prepare yourself!”

Elena charged forward, ignoring Tia’s attempts to stop her. Elena strongly despised me, her older brother.

“Huh!? Wait a second!”

I used wind magic to create a tiny vortex right in front of the charging Elena.

“Kya!?”

Elena was blinded by the wind pressure and stumbled. For a swordsman, eyes are vital. The [Eye-Blinder] technique of precisely hitting the eyes with strong wind was a subtle but effective counter to swordsmen even in games.

“Got it!”

++…Wait, huh?++ The wind was a bit too strong and ended up flipping Elena’s skirt dramatically.

++Ah, white.++

“Ugh, Nii-sama! Despite having such talent for wind magic, you only use it to flip skirts! How utterly indecent!”

Elena glared at me with teary eyes while holding down her skirt.

“No, wait, you’ve got it all wrong! That was unintentional!”

“What did you do to Tia now!? You’ve sexually harassed so many maids into quitting…!”

“I’m sorry for the skirt flipping! But I haven’t done anything wrong to Tia!”

I frantically put my hands together and bowed my head desperately.

“Huh? Y-you’re apologizing…?”

Elena looked dumbfounded, as if seeing something unbelievable.

“Elena-sama, it really is a misunderstanding! Weiss-sama gave me a ring to use for my mother’s medical treatment! I was just so moved by it!”

“What!? I-is that true, Tia!?”

“Yes, it’s true! He even wrote a document to prove it!”

Elena stared intently at the ring and parchment Tia offered.

“T-this handwriting… It’s definitely Nii-sama’s! What in the world…!?”

“The truth is, I’ve reflected on my past actions and decided to turn over a new leaf. To do that, I decided to start by making amends with Tia!”

“Such a thing…!? N-no, I sincerely apologize, Nii-sama!”

Elena honestly and deeply bowed at the waist.

“Uh… okay…”

I was taken aback by Elena’s sudden change in attitude. But gradually, it started to sink in. The person before me was undoubtedly Elena, the sword saint heroine of [Glorious Knights].

Elena, overflowing with a sense of justice, was a girl who could feel ashamed and reflect on her actions when she realized she had done something wrong.

“As long as you understand.”

I let out a sigh of relief.

Considering the usual wickedness of the former Weiss, it’s no wonder she misunderstood me and thought I’d done something to Tia. More importantly, I got to see something nice.

“Eh? Y-you’re not angry? Even though I pointed a wooden sword at you based on a misunderstanding…!?”

Elena’s mouth hung open in surprise.

“Well, being misunderstood is… well, my own fault. Besides, we used to practice swordsmanship with wooden swords together, remember?”

“What!?”

++If I’m going to live as Weiss from now on, I need to build as good a relationship as possible with my sister Elena.++

++Though she’s a terrifying sister who suddenly attacks with a wooden sword—living under the same roof as such an extraordinary beauty, when I think about it, isn’t this the best situation ever?++

Moreover, for me who had lived lonely for many years in my previous life, just having siblings is delightful, let alone having such a cute sister. It’s more than welcome.

“I-I can’t believe it. Nii-sama, did you eat something weird!?”

++No, it’s not something weird; it’s that my memories from my past life have returned. But I can’t say that.++

“Huh!? E-excuse me, but I have to go and escort Celica-sama now! Nii-sama, I’ll apologize properly when I return!”

Elena bowed her head and dashed off at an incredible speed. I was left dumbfounded.

“What, escorting Celica-sama…?”

I recalled the game scenario. Elena was a student at Glorious Knights Academy, just like me.

The princess of this country, Celica, also attended the academy, and Elena acted as her friend and bodyguard, always by her side.

++Wait a minute… If I remember correctly, the princess abduction incident happens in the game’s prologue, doesn’t it?++

Princess Celica was kidnapped by demons while on her way to school.

Weiss’s father, the Knight Commander, led his troops to rescue the princess in an attempt to make up for Elena’s failure… but with the princess held hostage, he was killed and the knights were annihilated.

Amidst this major incident that shakes the country, it was the protagonist of this game, the hero Allen, who rescued Princess Celica single-handedly.

Allen, a commoner hero, was allowed to enroll in Glorious Knight Academy, where noble disciples gather, due to this achievement.

Meanwhile, Elena, whose father was killed, harbored deep hatred for the demons and mercilessly slayed her brother Weiss, who had become a demon himself.

++T-this is more than just bad.++

“…But wait? If I save Celica myself, hero Allen won’t be able to enroll in the Knight Academy. If Father doesn’t die, the scenario will change drastically, and I might be able to avoid the future where I get killed, right!?”

I clapped my hands together. This was a brilliant idea, if I do say so myself.

I glanced at the date on the calendar. ++If my memory serves me right… the princess abduction incident happens today, of all days!?++

There’s no time to hesitate.

“Alright, I’ll follow Elena and protect them both!”

It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but I had to do it. The unique skill [Super Weight] is actually one of the strongest skills.

Weiss, who had turned into a demon, used this ultimate skill of “becoming heavy” to crush the hero Allen and the heroines into despair. The main reason the Great Demon approached Weiss and took him in as an ally was because he realized the true power of [Super Weight].

But no one knows this yet, except me. If the enemy underestimates me as a good-for-nothing, perverted nobleman, I probably have a good chance of winning. I can do this.

“Tia! I’m going to school now!”

“Huh!? Right now!? But Weiss-sama, you usually don’t mind being late!”

Tia, who had been setting the table for breakfast, was shocked. I was a hopeless, failing student and a habitual latecomer.

“Aren’t you going to eat? I’ve prepared your favorite honey-drenched pancakes!”

I felt bad for Tia, but there was no time for that. I grabbed a few pieces of bread and stuffed them in my mouth, then dashed out.

“I’ll probably still be late! But a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do!”

“What!?”

Tia let out a bewildered cry. ++Alright, this is the biggest turning point in my life.++
