One day, when I turned 12 years old, it happened during our usual family dinner.
"Guh!!"
Suddenly, I was struck with a headache and clutched my head.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
My father called out to me, worried.
"It's okay."
As I answered, I tried to sort out the memories flooding through my mind. They were from when I lived in Japan on Earth.
(Ah, that's right... I was Japanese...)
(A/N: Okay, I ain't Japanese but the isekai theme just goes better with Japanese people....)
Memories of the days I spent in Japan came rushing back, one after another. And then, when I died...
The cause of my death was an accident.
Just after parting ways with a friend on the way home from school, I was hit by a truck that ran a red light.
Luckily, the death was instantaneous, and there was little pain.
(I see... I died in my previous life...)
The memory felt both sad and lonely. Yet, at the same time, I realized there was much left for me to do.
(I was still a virgin... I wanted to get a girlfriend and have some fun with her...)
Thinking about that made me chuckle wryly.
"Rigel, are you okay?"
My mother called out to me, her voice filled with concern.
My father seemed worried as well.
"Yes, I'm fine. Anyway, let's continue eating. The food will get cold."
After I said that, the two of them seemed to feel a little relieved.
I am the eldest son of the Marquis Gowther family. My name is Rigel von Gowther.
The Gowther family has a long history of producing excellent knights. My father is the commander of the Royal Guard Knights and one of the most powerful people in the kingdom. Furthermore, while my mother's sword skills are inferior to my father's, her magical abilities are said to be the best in the kingdom.
Being born to such parents, it was only natural that I received rigorous training from a young age.
But it seems I didn't have the talent.
The more I trained, the more I was reminded of my limitations.
Still, my parents never abandoned me. On the contrary, they showered me with love and support during my training.
Despite the high status of being a marquis, I believe we have a very warm family. Except for one person, that is.
"Hmph! Can't even eat properly? Rigel really is incompetent!"
My older sister, Mestica von Gowther, spoke to me with disdain.
She was three years older than me and had always disliked me. There are probably two reasons for this.
One reason is that we are half-siblings. Her mother is different from mine, and her mother has already passed away. Because of this, I was somewhat estranged from her.
The other reason is that she is a genius.
Her talent for magic is average, but her swordsmanship is outstanding. It was said that in the future, she would become a woman who would represent the country.
On the other hand, I was just an ordinary person.
My swordsmanship and magical skills are mediocre, and my magical power is low.
However, I believe I have put in more effort than the average person.
My parents respect me to a certain extent, but my older sister, Mestica, dislikes me. According to her, she worked hard to become stronger, while I, her younger brother, had done nothing.
That's why I'm even more frustrated.
"Really? I hope you learn a little from Father and Mother."
"...I will do my best."
"Hmph! You can say whatever you want with just your mouth! Just do your best!"
Saying that, she roughly cut the steak off the table and brought it to her mouth.
It was terrible manners, but no one paid any attention to it. This was just her usual behavior.
My parents didn't say anything either. In fact, they probably thought that speaking up in the wrong way would only make things worse.
And in truth, they were probably right.
"Thank you for the meal."
Once she finished, Mestica quickly returned to her room.
After seeing her off, my parents spoke to me.
"Sorry, Rigel. I'll warn Mestica later."
"No, I don't mind. Besides, it's not Father or Mother's fault."
"...I see."
Hearing my words, my father looked at me with a complicated expression, and my mother seemed to want to say something but chose not to.
These four people are the only family members of the Marquis Gowther household. My father, who is the head of the family, my mother, me, and my older sister, Mestica.
This is a bit small for a noble family.
Mestica's mother passed away at a young age, which caused my father to fall into a depression for a while. To put it bluntly, he became impotent.
Somehow, Father managed to have a child with my mother, and that was me. But the situation didn't last long.
In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that the future of the Marquis Gowther family depends on me, the only son.
That's why Mestica refuses to acknowledge me.
(Well, I guess I can't blame her...)
I'm sure I would have acted the same way if I were in her position.
I don't hold any grudges, so it's fine.
More importantly, there's something I need to think about.
It's about the rest of my life.
(At the same time as remembering the memories from my previous life, I also recalled that I had been given a cheat when I was reincarnated. If I use this[Rape] skill, I should be able to create a harem in this new life, without a doubt...! I can now say goodbye to being called an incompetent heir!!)
