Carlisle's mansion.
　I just came home after a long absence and was going to spend some time in the garden of the mansion with Angel, who was working hard on her healing magic.

Hey, I went to the magic school. I saw them all with my own eyes, and then we had a fight. My brother-in-law was definitely an angel.
Oh, that's my boy, Alec. I knew you would do it sooner or later, but I didn't know you could get even an angel to follow you so quickly.

　The reason why I couldn't stay quiet was because of the presence of both father and Hossen.
　As if he had followed me back to the mansion, Horsen followed me to the Carlisle estate and we talked about me and my father.

"And not only that, the kids from the school of magic were getting stronger.
"How?　How long is it?
"Three hundred seniors at the top of the class, three minutes was enough to kick ass in a mock fight before, last time I was there, it was going to take five minutes.
"My God!　How can you stretch two minutes against Hosen, the strongest warrior in the Empire?
That's because my brother-in-law's teaching is good. Just being strong is just top-notch; only when the people around you are strong is it top-notch.
"Ha ha, Hosen is just top-notch.
Hey, he's just a guy. Not as good as my brother-in-law.

　Father and Hossen, they looked like they were having a great time.
　Before you know it, they had started drinking and it was easy to see that they were going to have a lot of fun.

How can you get so excited about my story?

　I said with a bitter smile, and Angier smiled and smiled at me.

"They both love you, Alec. And-
"And?
I've heard you say that all the time, but you're only telling the truth.
"Oh!　You know what I mean, girl!

　Hossen, who is supposed to be drinking away, interrupted our conversation.
　Unlike the two of you, Angel's voice sounded a little more subdued than appropriate for his age, but it sounded good. Maybe it's the hell ears.

You're right, we don't say the obvious. My brother-in-law is a genius, a 100-year-or even a 1,000-year-genius. Hey, brother.
"Hmm, I couldn't agree more, brother.

　Maybe it's because of the alcohol, but Hossen and Father were just flirting with each other and called each other "brother".
　It was fine, but considering their ages and positions, there was nothing wrong with that.

"Here's to our brother-in-law!
"Cheers to our son!

　They call each other brother and sister, but I call them brother-in-law and son.
　It's a messed up relationship.

Hey, you know what? I gotta go.
"Huh?
"You know what my brother used to say. You know, the one we have every four years.
"Ah, the Alec Cup.

　The conversation between my father and Hossen reminded me of that.

　In order to dote on me and spread the name of me - Alexander - to the world, father has held the "Alec Cup" every four years since the year I was born.

　Why four years, because it's not too short and not too long, and it's the period of four years when the real event is most exciting, including preparations.
　Not only Alec's Cup, but many other major events, especially official Imperial events, are regularly spaced at four-year intervals, except for the annual ones.

　And it was the year I was born - I did it when I was one year old, I did it again when I was five years old, and this year I'm nine years old and it's coming around again.

"Mm, about time. Sorry, Alec, but Alec is definitely busier now than he was four years ago, but in the meantime--
I know, I'll be there, I'll do my best to attend, I'll do my best to get the awards and stuff.
"Oh my!　That's what Alec is all about.

　I don't know what's "as expected" now, but I decided not to interrupt him because he's quite drunk.

"So, brother, what's the prize for the winner of the Alec Cup? What's the prize for the winner of the Alec Cup?　It sounds like you've heard this before, but I didn't know my brother-in-law then, so I didn't listen to him.
Land and money. A farmer in a family of four could live on for the rest of his life.
"What a crappy piece of shit!

No, I'm not too old, okay?

　How much is enough for a family of four to live on for the rest of their lives?
　In a previous life I was a commoner, I had more money than I made in my lifetime, right?

　I plunged into it like Hossen's nonsense, but I was surprised to find out that father .

Yes, that's right. I've always felt I had to do something right.

　I agreed with Hossen's words.
　No, father, it's not muddy at all, it's more like a regular, worthwhile prize at all costs.

How about this?　How about my brother-in-law granting the winner one wish?
"Hmm, maybe that's not a bad idea. What do you think, Alec?
"I don't mind, but ...... is that OK with you?

"It's not 'like that'!
"It's not 'that'!

　Father and Hossen have denied my words with all their might and in unison.



　Due to the alcohol, the two are more intense and assertive than usual

　It's a little bit like ............ as usual.

That ...... father-in-law.
"Hmm?　What's up Angers

　Unlike the two of them, very unobtrusively, Angel raised his hand and said, "I'm very happy.

"I'm so happy. I'm so happy that Alec has made me his wife.
"Hmm, of course.
"Don't be so dignified there, father, I'm slightly embarrassed.

　I prodded, but Angier didn't care and continued on.

"What if.... What if the winner of the Alec's Cup is a woman ...... and the prize is Alec's wife ......?

　A surprising proposal from Angier.
　But it's not completely unheard of.

　It's common to have a beauty contest and marry the best woman in the territory.
　Rather marry into a nobleman's family, and appeal to him to die to get on the ball.
　There are even a few calls to open it up more.

　Moreover, from the perspective of a man whose past life was a commoner, it is an extravagance that only nobles are allowed to do.

What do you say, Master Alec?
"I don't mind but ......

　Look at Angel.

　Ange is my bride, a girl who is destined to marry and become a chamberlain.
　A nobleman's chamber is measured by how well he manages his suite.
　For Angier's sake, I was thinking of having good girls as a vassal at some point.

　So I have no objection to that at all if Angel wants to ...... as a matter of fact.

　It's just that I'm a little bit excited to see the "delicious places of nobility" that I've faced since my reincarnation, laid out in front of me.

...... Yeah, let's do that.
"Yes!　Thank you!　Dear Alec!

　Angier was innocently pleased that his proposal was accepted.

　Thus, the prize for the quadrennial Alec Cup was decided.
　As a result of the announcement.

　Female participants have exceeded a hundred times the number of four years ago.
