Reborn As Noble

RIIING!

"Time to eat!" Javier shouted, springing from his seat like a coiled spring. Without hesitation, he grabbed Liana and Gloria's hands, dragging them along before they could protest. "Let's go, let's go!"

"Young Master, slow down!" Liana exclaimed, barely managing to keep her footing.

"Young Master, this is hardly dignified," Gloria added, adjusting her glasses with a composed smile. "But I suppose expecting dignity from you is a lost cause."

Bursting into the courtyard, Javier laughed loudly. "Buddy! Pikko! Food's here!"

Buddy, hearing his master's call, let out an excited squawk and dashed toward him, flapping his stubby wings for extra speed. Pikko followed closely, more composed but just as eager.

Javier reached his personal lunch spot—a cleared area in the courtyard, unofficially claimed as his "grilling station." He grinned, summoning his portable magic grill with a quick flick of his wrist.

"Time to grill some monster meat!"

Buddy let out a victorious squawk, hopping up and down in anticipation. Pikko, now mildly more interested, settled onto the grass, watching the grill, waiting for her feast.

Liana sighed, gently releasing Javier's hand as she moved to prepare the side dishes. "I'll get the vegetables ready, Young Master."

Gloria chuckled as she helped set up the picnic blanket. "It's infectious, though. You can't help but get swept up in it."

Gloria chuckled as she set up the picnic blanket. "Ara~ Your energy is endless, Young Master. It's truly impressive."

Javier tossed the first slab of meat onto the grill with flair, flipping it effortlessly. "Food for me, for Liana, for Gloria, and for my feathered partners in crime, Buddy and Pikko! Let's eat like champions today!"

The courtyard buzzed with the cheerful sounds of squawking Pekkos, sizzling meat, and Javier's boisterous laughter—a scene of carefree joy amidst the countdown to their return to the Armand region.

"Meat! Meat! Meat!" Javier chanted gleefully, circling the grill like a predator stalking its prey.

Buddy, fully embracing the energy, began strutting behind him—head held high, steps exaggerated like a warrior marching into battle.

"Meat! Meat! Meat! For me, Buddy, and the rest of the crew!" Javier continued, striking a theatrical pose toward the sky, as if delivering a grand speech.

Buddy squawked in perfect rhythm, lifting his left leg, then his right, mimicking a human victory march.

Liana, slicing vegetables nearby, sighed and smiled. "Honestly, Young Master, you're more energetic than the Pekkos themselves."

"Buddy's got style, Liana! Watch this—"

With a flourish, he tossed a piece of grilled meat toward Buddy. The Pekko snapped it out of the air with perfect precision, letting out a triumphant squawk.

"See? He even eats in style!" Javier declared proudly.

Gloria covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking as she chuckled. "Ara~ It's almost like watching two mischievous brothers causing chaos."

"Meat! Meat! Meat!" Javier sang louder, clapping his hands to the beat. Buddy squawked in response, hopping in place while fluffing his feathers.

Pikko, lying on the grass, peeked over, squawking long and then turning away, as if to say, "I'm surrounded by fools."

"Meat!!" Javier shouted, grinning widely, perfectly synchronized with Buddy's enthusiastic squawk.

The two began bobbing their heads in unison, their movements perfectly timed.

"Meat on the grill, meat on my plate!

Grillin' all day, can't hardly wait!"

"Squawk!" Buddy responded, stomping the ground, adding a beat to their performance.

"Buddy and me, we're the dream team,

Cookin' up meat, it's a carnivore's dream!" Javier rapped, pointing dramatically at the grill.

"Cuquawk-Cuquawk!" Buddy chimed in, circling the grill, head bobbing to the beat.

Liana froze, knife still in hand, her eyes wide in disbelief. "Young Master… are you rapping about meat?"

Gloria giggled behind her hand. "Ara~ I believe he is."

Ignoring their remarks, Javier continued his masterpiece.

"Meat for the grill, meat for the win,

Buddy and me, let the feast begin!"

"Cuquawk!" Buddy stomped hard, throwing his head back in approval.

"Pikko's watching, Liana's slicing,

Gloria's laughing, but we're still rising!"

The courtyard erupted in a mix of squawks, claps, and stomps, with Buddy twirling dramatically.

Meanwhile, Pikko looked utterly unimpressed, her eyes half-closed, as if thinking, "I refuse to be a part of this chaos."

"Buddy!" Javier exclaimed, throwing a piece of meat to the giant bird. Buddy caught it midair, letting out a victorious squawk before stomping twice, sealing the performance.

With a final synchronized head bob, both Javier and Buddy shouted together:

"Meat forever!"

The other students and the instructor stood at a distance, staring at the spectacle in stunned silence.

Some lower-ranked nobles whispered among themselves.

"Is this... normal for him?" one boy asked, watching Javier and Buddy bob their heads like they were on stage.

Another shrugged. "It's the delinquent noble. Is anything he does normal?"

The instructor pinched the bridge of his nose, trying not to sigh too loudly. "At least he's not causing trouble for anyone this time. Let him be."

Meanwhile, Javier twirled dramatically, flipping a piece of sizzling meat off the grill and catching it perfectly on a plate. "Liana! Gloria! Your portions are ready!"

Liana shook her head with a small smile. "Young Master, please sit down and eat properly."

Gloria chuckled, accepting her plate. "Ara~ Thank you for the show, Young Master. It's always lively with you."

The students on the sidelines felt envious of the carefree atmosphere. "His life looks so much more fun," one muttered.

Another noble boy sneered, "Fun? He's making a fool of himself! Nobles should behave with dignity!"

The first boy raised an eyebrow. "Like when you were defeated by him last month in the battleground event? With his shoe?"

The noble kid flushed red, glaring at his classmate before stomping off.

As the courtyard settled back into its usual rhythm, Javier enjoyed his lunch, completely unbothered by the stares and whispers. Buddy squawked proudly, matching his master's energy, while Pikko quietly pecked at her share of grilled meat, her calm demeanor contrasting with Buddy's lively antics.

Javier leaned back, hands behind his head. "Ahhh... Life's good, right, Buddy?"

"Cuquawk!" Buddy replied, bobbing his head in agreement.

"Now, now, young master, enough with that. Come sit and eat," Liana said, motioning for Javier to sit on her lap.

"Okay!!" Javier chirped excitedly, plopping down without hesitation.

As he leaned back comfortably against her, Liana started her usual routine of feeding him, carefully cutting pieces of meat and holding them to his mouth. "Here, young master, eat properly," she said gently.

"Ahhh~" Javier opened his mouth, munching happily while Liana smiled softly, brushing his hair back as she prepared the next bite.

Not wanting to be left out, Gloria moved closer and sat beside them, picking up a fork. "Ara~ Don't forget me, young master. Let me spoil you too."

She held up another piece of grilled meat, offering it to Javier.

Javier grinned widely. "Ehehe... Two beautiful women feeding me... This is bliss!" he declared, closing his eyes with a contented sigh as he took bites from both Liana and Gloria.

The other students couldn't help but stare at the scene.

"Is he serious?!" one whispered.

"How come she got two beautiful maids pampering him like that?!" another asked, jealousy clear in their voice.

Buddy and Pikko squawked happily nearby, their energy matching Javier's cheerful mood as they pecked at their own share of the feast.

"Another bite, young master?" Liana asked softly, holding up a piece of juicy meat.

Javier nodded, chomping it down with a satisfied grin. "Liana, Gloria, you two make everything better. Ehehe~"

Gloria smirked playfully. "Ara~ Don't get too used to this, young master. We might make you lazy."

"Lazy? Nahhh... I'm just enjoying this moment," Javier said, puffing out his chest.

Both Liana and Gloria laughed at his antics, while the rest of the courtyard watched the unconventional noble enjoy his carefree moment.
