322 – The boy who should have been a minor character

My overall impression of Yamada-kun, is that he’s ordinary Both in Wakaba Hiiro’s memories and my memories from the current world

In Wakaba Hiiro’s memories of Yamada-kun, he was a plain boy that you could find anywhere Grades – average Reflexes – le conspicuous factor – the very definition of ordinary If he appeared in a story set in modern times, he would be a round That is Yamada-kun

Well then, just where did Yamada-kun, as an ordinary person in his previous life, end up in this life? He’s like a protagonist aical younger brother of the Hero Born with cheat level abilities, yet he still steadily put in effort without conceit If the opportunity had arisen, even without his Hero title he would have becost the hu over from his dead brother, he had the determination to stand up for the sake of the world as the Hero It onist-like this all is

However, Yaed For better or worse, Yamada-kun is ordinary Under normal circumstances, he’s not the sort of person who’d try to take the lead role in the e It would suit hi a quiet and cal country, without being the younger brother of the Hero, without his cheats If he had been simply been born ordinary in this world, then most likely Yamada-kun would stayed a co his head into trouble I’onist was because of the situation he was in He was the prince of a ht have been fine However, Yamada-kun was in a very delicate position He was the child of a concubine with low standing However, his elder brother was the Hero In addition, the queen’s son was not good enough Finally, Yaenius is considered to be soe What unfolded fro that frequently happens in storytelling

With hi so capable, that’s probably why a faction appeared that wanted to push aside the first prince as the son of the queen and raise up Ya Because the queen feared such a possibility, Yamada-kun didn’t receive proper education However, the half-elf and e of his education instead On top of that, because Yarasp his position as a prince, so he was fortunate to be able to conduct hi fro the queen’s expectations, Yay On top of that, not allowing hiarded as a child prodigy who exceeded the average despite not receiving a proper education

It wasn’t so that he himself realised, but to others it would likely have been an aard situation Having the powerful support of his elder brother the Hero, he was called a genius It was rather inevitable that the first prince got flustered After all, even though Yamada-kun himself didn’t want it, it had beca him in that way If Yamada-kun himself had been allowed to be educated properly, he wouldn’t have suffered the agonies that he did though

Indeed, Yamada-kun didn’t realise the situation that he had ended up in If he’d been a true genius, then he would likely have noticed that fact and taken some kind of appropriate measures He should have had some suspicions about why he wasn’t able to receive proper education for a start, and also shouldn’t have been unaware of the restless state of the royal family Because he was unaware, Yahschooler wouldn’t normally be able to understand the common sense and political circuenius because of what he had learnt in his previous life, which he thenchild to learn even enius It was simply that he had developed early

In addition, to Yaenius was close by his side In other words, i water, iht As a reincarnator who had built up various things since his previous life, Ya that he mustn’t lose to her Yaan to put in hard work To those around hienius orked hard

And then, while still being in the same situation where he couldn’t receive proper education, he unstintingly piled up the efforts that he could and he entered the acade hter, Ooshima-kun The candidate for the next Saint of the Divine Word Religion, Hasebe-san Sensei the elf He also had a rival in Natsume-kun as next in line to become the Sword Emperor of the Empire, and not only that but Yamada-kun was ahead of hiroup of people Everyone paid attention to Yamada-kun

Even in such a situation, for Yamada-kun himself that was simply the normal state of affairs I think it’s likely that Yamada-kun considered himself to be ordinary and that an ordinary person like hi For aable to offer soood enough Even that ht have felt excessive to him
