Arifureta Magic Academy: Daddy, a Transfer Student, and a Victim
 
The ten-year-old prince of Heiligh, the kingdom that housed the infamous magic academy, had fallen in love. At least, that was what the rumors said. Supposedly, he’d come to the academy’s entrance ceremony as a guest and fallen in love with one of the students at first sight. Naturally, the students had started gossiping about who might be the potential future queen of Heiligh. The rumors only grew more pronounced when the school announced that Prince Lundel would be attending the academy from that day onward. He was the first member of the royal family who would be attending the academy. It was obvious to the students that he’d come here to chase his first love. And everyone wanted to see who he’d chosen. Ordinary student Hajime Nagumo absentmindedly listened to the students gossiping around him as he walked down the halls. 
“I’ve finally found you, Hajime Nagumo!” 
But he came to a stop when someone suddenly called out his name. Turning around, he saw the prince staring at him. He seemed to have a bone to pick with Hajime. The nearby students all stared at Lundel in surprise, then turned to look back accusingly at Hajime. They seemed to believe he’d done something to stir up trouble again. Of course, Hajime felt insulted that they believed all the previous commotions had been his fault. 
“Good morning, Your Highness. Did you need something from me?” 
A few of the watching students burst out laughing. Polite speech didn’t suit Hajime at all. Lundel was so focused on Hajime that he didn’t even notice the surrounding students’ reactions. He strode forward and declared, “I-I need to speak to you about your girlfriend!” 
So the rumors were true!? The prince really did come here to chase after a girl!? the students thought. More and more people started gathering in the hallway. 
And, at the same time, the students thought, Wait, what does the prince’s first love have to do with Hajime Nagumo? 
Hajime himself was wondering the same thing. Girlfriend? I have a girlfriend? Hang on, does this mean the girl the prince is in love with has something to do with me? 
His mind racing furiously, Hajime came to a horribly misguided conclusion. Hang on, is he talking about Myu!? No way! 
Myu had been the new student representative during the entrance ceremony, and she was Hajime’s adopted daughter. Everyone had seen her call Hajime “daddy,” so they knew she was related to him in some way. It all makes sense now... He’s gotta be talking about Myu! So you’re trying to lay a hand on my daughter, huh, you royal punk? 
Hajime was a textbook case of a doting parent. He met the prince’s resolute gaze with a withering glare. Lundel, as well as the nearby students, all flinched back. 
“Someone deploy a barrier! I’ll get the underclassmen to safety!” 
A weary upperclassman, used to dealing with the frequent incidents at school, started evacuating people from the area. Meanwhile, Lundel was lost in thought. H-He’s trying to cow me with that glare. He really doesn’t want to hand over his girlfriend—Kaori. 
Indeed, the girl Lundel had fallen in love with was Kaori. He’d been swallowed whole by one of Yue’s lightning dragons during the entrance ceremony, and afterward, the priestess had come to heal his injuries. He’d fallen for the saintly looking healer at first sight. Of course, he had no idea that Kaori had been part of the reason that the brawl at the entrance ceremony had occurred in the first place, or that she, along with Shea, Yue, and Tio, was considered one of the school’s four problem children. Indeed, it was only because he didn’t know what lay underneath Kaori’s saintly exterior that he’d fallen in love with her. And thus, he’d come here to see what kind of man Kaori’s sweetheart was. 
“I’ve... heard about you.” 
He has? From who? Myu? Come to think of it, she is part of the elementary branch student council, and they were all there to greet the prince when he was first admitted to the school. She must have talked about me then. Well, if he’s after my daughter, there’s no need to be polite to him. 
Hajime’s misunderstanding grew even deeper, and he growled, “Oh? And what’ve you heard, huh?” 
His lips curled up into a fearless smile. 
“I-I asked her to marry me, but she said she couldn’t because she was going to marry you.” 
Myu wants to marry me? Oh wait, she’s probably just going through that phase all girls do where they say they want to marry their dad. Oh Myu, you’re so cute and... 
“She said she’d win your love by any means, get you to knock her up, and start a happy family with you! And that she’d crush any rivals that stood in her way!” 
“Wait, seriously!?” 
Uhhh, Myu, are you that obsessed with me? Hang on, did you really use those words? I’m kinda shocked... 
Cold sweat poured down Hajime’s back as he tried to process this new information. He needed to rethink how to interact with his daughter. 
“Hajime Nagumo! Answer me this! Do you intend to reciprocate her feelings!?” 
Lundel was determined to see this through, for the sake of his beloved Kaori. On the other hand, Hajime was panicking now that he’d learned of his daughter’s forbidden feelings. The spectating students had at this point heard the full story from the members of the newspaper club who’d come to see what was happening and knew that Kaori was Lundel’s crush. But none of them knew that Hajime had made a grave misunderstanding. They were waiting to see what Hajime’s response to Lundel’s sincere question was. They wanted to know if Yue was his only love, or if he meant to take Kaori for himself too. Naturally, Hajime answered Lundel truthfully. 
“I have... zero interest in reciprocating her feelings!” 
Oooooh, he really said it! While the students were whispering animatedly to each other, Lundel’s eyes began to glimmer with hope. However, that hope was short-lived. 
“But I have no intention of giving her to you, either!” 
“What?” 
Lundel wasn’t the only one surprised by that. The onlookers were as well. 
“Like hell I’ll hand her over to some rando like you!” 
What do you mean, “rando”!? He’s a prince, for crying out loud! One of the most influential people in the kingdom! the students thought simultaneously. 
“So even though you don’t plan on accepting her feelings, you’re still going to keep her tied to you!?” 
“Hmph, she’s just that important to me. Besides, she’s still young. It’s too soon for her to be thinking of marriage. I won’t allow you to have her!” 
How selfish can you get? Especially when you already have Yue-sensei! 
But while the students were seething with jealousy, Lundel was thinking something else entirely. Y-Young? How is Kaori too young? What is he talking about? Does he mean she’s still immature? 

He, too, was beginning to misunderstand. 
“I-Incidentally, what do you mean when you say she’s young? She doesn’t look that way to me...” 
The onlookers nodded in agreement. They turned to Hajime, waiting for his reply. 
“I mean, just look at her. She obviously looks young.” 
“Sh-She does? A-Are you sure? I guess her face is a little childish, but...” 
Both Lundel and the other students didn’t really agree with Hajime’s assessment there. 
Wondering how Myu could possibly look mature to anyone, Hajime added, “If you don’t think she looks young, I’ll prove to you that she acts young. For starters, look at how spoiled she acts.” 
“R-Really!? Can you be more specific?” 
The students were also very curious as to how Kaori acted spoiled. 
“Hmm... Well, for starters, she’s always asking for hugs.” 
“She is!? Unacceptabelievable! I want to princess carry her too!” 
“Uhhh, did you not hear me? I said hugs, like, you know, normal hugs. From the front.” 
From the front!? What kinds of naughty things are you doing with Hajime, Kaori!? 
“And she can’t even sleep by herself still, so she always sneaks into my bed at night.” 
“She can’t sleep by herself!?” 
“Oh, and she’s scared to go to the bathroom alone at night, so I have to go with her.” 
“She what!?” 
“Also, she can’t even wash her own hair properly.” 
“She can’t!?” 
Wait, Kaori-san, aren’t you a bit too old to be doing those kinds of things? the students thought. Lundel, on the other hand, had latched onto a different part of Hajime’s words. 
“Hang on! How come you know she can’t wash her own hair!?” 
Oh yeah, good point! Don’t tell me you two take baths together... 
“Huh? Isn’t that obvious? That’s cause we take baths together.” 
“You... what?” 
Lundel was so shocked that he dropped to all fours. Meanwhile, the students shivered in terror. The way Hajime had confessed that so casually had made it clear to them that he was too much of a Chad for any of them. 
“Get it now? She’s too young to be thinking about marriage still. At best, I’ll allow you to be friends with her. If you try to ask her for anything more... I’ll crush your balls.” 
The male students all covered their privates and took a few steps back. On the other hand, the girls were all amazed at how bold Kaori was. I can’t believe she takes baths with Nagumo-san... 
After a few seconds, Lundel recovered from his shock and got to his feet. 
“D-Don’t think you’ve won just yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!” 
He turned on his heel and ran away, tears streaming from his eyes. 
After a few seconds, Hajime said, “Heh, he’s got guts, at least.” 
Surprisingly, he was smiling. In the end, the misunderstanding was never resolved. But, as a result, Hajime’s appraisal of Lundel had risen.


After school, a certain trio visited Kaori. 
“Kaoriiiiii, how dare you sneak into Hajime’s bed! Pay for your sins with death!” 
“Kaori-san, I can’t believe you take Hajime-san to the bathroom with you at night! How could you be so lewd!?” 
“Kaori, is it true that you snuck into Master’s bath? If so, death is a fitting punishment for you.” 
“Huh!? Wh-What are you talking about!? Calm down, you three!” 
“Kaori, I... I will still accept you! Even if you can’t wash your own hair, I still love you—!” 
“Your Highness!? What the heck are you talking about!?” 
Naturally, that incident ended with a section of the school getting blown up. Sadly, the misunderstanding never got resolved, and for days after, people would shoot Kaori sympathetic looks when they saw her in school.
