Reborn As Noble

”You know, Liana? Gloria?” Javier said, his tone unusually thoughtful.

”Hmm?” Both maids looked at him with curiosity.

”I didn’t regret being reborn in this world.”

Liana blinked, tilting her head slightly. ”Huh? What are you talking about, young master?”

Gloria raised an eyebrow. ”Ara~ Reborn? Young master, are you feeling alright?”

Javier froze for a moment before quickly waving his hands in front of him. ”Hmm? Ah, no! Just... you know... umm... gibberish! Yeah! Totally nonsense! Forget it!”

Liana crossed her arms, her emerald eyes narrowing slightly. ”You’re acting weird today, young master.”

”Yeah, I agree with Liana,” Gloria added with a playful smirk, tapping a finger against her chin.

Javier laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head. ”Weird? Me? Nahhh! I’m not weird at all! Ehehehe!”

Liana sighed but smiled softly, brushing off his strange comment. ”If you say so, young master.”

The conversation turned into chuckles, with Liana and Gloria shaking their heads, still puzzled but deciding not to ask more.

Yeah... this isekai world is good, Javier thought to himself as he leaned back , pretending to focus on his food. I can keep being as childish as I want. No need to act like an adult, no need to be Nakamura Junichi anymore. I am Javier de Armand. This life... this world... it’s better.

His eyes flicked to Buddy and Pikko, who were squawking happily nearby, and a small, genuine smile tugged at his lips. Why should I act like an adult just because I was one before? Back in Japan, I didn’t get to enjoy my childhood. Too much pressure, too many expectations... it wasn’t freedom, it wasn’t fun. Explore more stories with freewebnovel

Here, in this new world, freedom was his to grasp. No strict rules controlling his every move. No boring responsibilities he couldn’t escape. I can be free. I can do anything I want.

He glanced at Liana and Gloria, who were busy arguing about something small but trivial, both smiling with warmth and care. I still have time before I reach adulthood in this world. There’s no rush. I won’t waste this second chance.

”Well, it’s not like adult life was all bad,” Javier mused as he casually munched on his food. ”I mean, enjoying the company of women was definitely one of the perks. But hey... every adult back in my old world probably wondered at some point if they could go back to being a kid.”

”I do remember back when I was in Japan, seeing all of them stress about work, high living costs, this and that. And when they were drunk, they talked about how good life was when they were kids—enjoying their lives, playing with friends, hanging out, becoming teenagers, going bowling, and so on.”

Javier leaned his head back against Liana’s shoulder, letting her feed him another bite of meat while Gloria poured him a drink. Being an adult had its moments, sure, but there’s something about being a carefree kid that feels special. No taxes, no endless meetings, no waking up to alarm clocks to catch a train for work. No stress at work, no headaches from responsibilities...

He chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes. ”Yeah... I’ll stick to this life for now. Enjoy the freedom, enjoy the laughs, and enjoy the company of two beautiful maids who spoil me every day. This is the life.”

”Young master?”

”Hmm?” Javier turned his head lazily toward Liana while still chewing his food.

”It seems like you’re deep in thought.”

”Me? Nah,” Javier replied, waving it off casually. ”I’m just enjoying the food you both feed me.” He gave her a playful smirk.

Liana glanced at Gloria, who only smiled knowingly. ”If you say so, young master.”

Suddenly, the bell rang loud and clear. RINNNNNG!!

Liana tapped Javier’s shoulder gently. ”Young master, lunch is over. It’s time to return to class.”

Javier groaned dramatically, slumping back against Liana like a puppet with its strings cut. ”Ugh… classes... again. Why can’t school just be lunch all day?”

Gloria chuckled softly as she stood up, brushing off her dress. ”Come now, young master, if you don’t go, you’ll only have more to complain about later.”

”Fine, fine,” Javier muttered, getting up reluctantly. ”But I’m telling you, nothing they teach me here is going to be more useful than grilling meat or enjoying life.”

Liana just shook her head, smiling softly. ”Let’s go, young master.”

”Liana?”

Javier shifted awkwardly, one hand moving to hold his crotch. ”Err...”

Liana blinked at him, raising an eyebrow. ”Hmm?”

”I’m going to the toilet!!” Javier blurted, already turning to leave. ”You two go ahead!”

Liana sighed and crossed her arms. ”Don’t be late, and don’t wander around after that!”

”Okaaaaay!!” Javier shouted over his shoulder as he dashed off, leaving Liana and Gloria to exchange knowing looks.

”He better not get himself into trouble,” Gloria said with a small smirk.

Liana let out a long sigh, adjusting the hem of her skirt. ”With young master? It’s practically guaranteed.”

The two began walking back toward the classroom, their steps calm and measured, while their young master darted off into the distance.

”Ahhhh! That’s a relief... ehehehe.” Javier adjusted his clothes, standing in the toilet after finishing his business.

Suddenly, he heard muffled sounds from outside the restroom.

”Hey, I know your father gave you money. Hand it over to me!” a demanding voice sneered, followed by the unmistakable sound of a punch.

”No!” protested another voice, smaller and trembling.

The sound of another punch and a kick followed, along with mocking laughter from the bullies.

Javier smirked, his mischievous grin spreading wide. ”Oh? A little drama outside? Hehehe, time for some fun.”

He activated his stealth skill, making himself invisible.

The bullies were too focused on their victim to notice anything strange.

DUSH!

One of the bullies stumbled back, clutching his stomach, confusion on his face.

BUKK!

Another bully got a fist to the face, his legs giving out as he fell to the floor.

The remaining bullies froze, wide-eyed. ”W-Who’s there?! What’s going-?”

THWACK!

The leader of the bullies was the last to fall, a phantom fist hitting his chin and sending him sprawling.

The kid being bullied stood frozen, looking around wildly. His face turned pale as his imagination ran wild.

”G-Ghost!!!” he screamed, running away without looking back.

Javier stepped out of the shadows, becoming visible again, and dusted off his hands. He glanced at the unconscious bullies and smirked.

”Ehehehe... now...” Javier crouched down, his grin widening. ”Let’s remove their pants... kekekeke.”

He worked quickly, tugging at the bullies’ pants with ease. One by one, the unconscious troublemakers were left in their undergarments.

Javier held up one of the pants, inspecting it. ”Hmm? What should I do with these? Maybe hang it somewhere?” He paused, tapping his chin thoughtfully. ”Nah, just toss them!”

With a casual flick, he threw the pants outside.

”Perfect. That’ll teach them a lesson.”

Dusting off his hands, Javier adjusted his own clothes, checked to make sure his stealth skill was off, and left the scene like nothing happened. ”Now back to class.”
