The Incompetent Prince Who Has Been Banished Wants To Hide His Abilities - CH 23

One day, sometime after I had gotten rid of my pack animal brother.

In the office of the lord’s mansion.

“Noah-sama, we’re in trouble!”

“…….What’s wrong Lista?……”

I was lying dead in a pile of documents.

The more my territory developed, the more incompetent I move, the more work came my way for some reason.

“There’s a huge carriage in front of the building and a beautiful woman!”

“Beautiful woman ……? I don’t know, but let her through.”

A little while later.

“Hi, Noah, long time no see!”

“Huh? mother….”

The one who came in was my mother…… in other words, the Queen.

She always has a smiling face.

“Your mother is……? You’re the current king’s wife!?”

“Yes~. I’m Yuno von Gaeta-Nyga. Nice to meet you.”

Laughing softly, my mother shakes hands with Lista.

Lista’s eyes were black and white.

I know how you feel. My mother is very frank with the commoners, so she doesn’t feel like royalty.

“Mother, what brings you to such a remote place?”

“Ah, Noah-sama, You use honorifics with your mother? …… Geez. 』

I squeezed Laurie the white cat and sat down on the couch.

“I came to see Noah-chan. I heard from Dava-chan, but I don’t really understand.”

“Pack animal brother….You’re always giving away unnecessary information….”

“I came here to see how Noah-chan works. Sorry to barge in on you like this.”

……Hmm.

Apparently, the Queen had come to see if her seventh son was being a good lord.

…… This could be an opportunity.

Laurie, who is laying on the sofa, says in a dumbfounded tone.

“Noah, did you come up with another foolish incompetent move…..?　It’s useless……. 』

“Shut up. It’s different this time. It’s too late for incompetent moves.”

“What do you mean? 』

“In other words. I’ll try to show my mother how competent I am and appeal to her.”

“Huh? If they find out you’re competent, everything you’ve done will be for nothing. 』

“Think of it the other way around. What if my mother finds out that I’m competent here? What if she finds out that I’m too good to be left here in the middle of nowhere and gives me a formal order to return to the palace? 』

“I see……what’s that? Didn’t your Brother Dava come to bring you back the other day? 』

“Well, I guess so……. I got a little emotional at the time. When I thought about it more calmly, I realized that I should have left at that time.”

“That’s right. If the Queen, who is the parent, directly asks for Noah-sama to be taken home, the people might give him back because she’s worried about him.”

“That’s right! You know what I mean Laurie-kun ~ ”

I lifted Laurie up from the cushion and patted her head good-naturedly.

“By the way, Noah-chan, I was wondering if I could observe you at work~”

“Of course! Look at me, I’m working so hard!”

★

I’ve come to Abyss Wood, an abyssal forest adjacent to Carter’s territory.

The levitation magic makes me and my mother float.

“Mother, have a special seat to see your son at work!”

“Oh, my goodness~…… well~…… this is …… amazing……”

Mother widened her eyes, even though she hadn’t done anything yet.

I wonder what that means……. Oh well!

“Noah-chan, what are we going to do now ~?”

“My people have informed me that a horde of monsters is coming our way.”

The Abyssal Forest.

This place was considered to be a terrifying monster world where powerful monsters roamed and no one could enter.

Recently, roads and other facilities have been developed and the monster’s dwelling place has been relegated to the back.

But they’re not completely gone.

“Oh, my. That’s horrible. What are we going to do about that horde?”

“I’ll make them disappear in an instant!”

“Noah-chan alone……against a horde of monsters?”

“Yes, let me show you the power of Noah Carter…..!”

However, I’m not going to give it my all.

“Why? 』

“It doesn’t make sense to destroy this planet, right? 』

“”How much power do you have to destroy a planet? ….Noah’s full power…  』

“What, who said you can’t destroy a planet without going all out? 』

“You’re the Demon King! No, It’s possible with you being the Demon King! 』

Well…

I won’t overdo it, but I want to show off my competence in a flashy way….

After all, this is probably it.

I raise my hand above my head.

A huge magic circle unfolds.

“Infinite Meteor Shower, Meteor Swarm!”

Thousands and thousands of magic circles unfolded above our heads.

The meteorites poured down from there.

Only the monsters, with their glittering tails trailing, are crushed with pinpoint accuracy.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz ……!

“It’s like an infinite shooting star raining down on the earth…….Oh my, Noah-chan can use such a wide range annihilation magic.”

“Well, the opponent seemed weak and this rudimentary magic is enough for cleaning garbage.”

“No, this isn’t rudimentary magic….”

Soon after, the meteorites stopped.

The hordes of monsters below us were eradicated by the magic I had unleashed, every last one of them.

★

After eradicating the monsters, I descended to the entrance of the forest.

My Mother kept her eyes down and made a gesture as if she was thinking about something.

“What do you think, Mother? Do you understand me now?”

“Yes. I understand very well now.”

“Of course! Let’s get me……”

“Noah-chan is an outstanding person who is indispensable to this territory.”

“Oh yeah, I’m indispensable to this territory……yeah, yeah, Huh!?”

While I was surprised, my mother was smiling at me.

No, it’s essential…….!

“Mother, what are you talking about? You’re leaving your brilliant son here in such a strange countryside!”

“That’s because~. Unless it’s Noah-chan, No one can be the lord of this monster-ridden forest.~”

My mother’s eyes open as she looks at me.

When they were closed, she was a laid-back mom, but by opening her eyes a little, she became sharp.

“Your talent will shine only in this territory. If you stay in the swamps of the Royal City, all your brilliance will fade away.”

“……”

And that’s when it happened.

“” “” Noah-samaaaaa! “” “”

Lista and the rest of the people came pouring in.

Speaking of which, the village of Ain was near here.

“As expected of Noah-sama! You used magic to bring down the stars and defeat a horde of monsters! You are truly divine! You’re a god!”

The eyes of Lista and the people of the land sparkled.

Ah, it’s too dazzling… No, it’s no good!

“Eh, Eh~? Did I do something ~? I didn’t do anything at all ~?”

“The moment you realized that your mother wouldn’t take you to King’s Landing even if you did something competent, you switched to an incompetent move…….”

“No! We’ve been watching Noah’s exploits with our own eyes!”

The people nodded their heads vigorously.

“Noah-sama floated in the air and the moment he held up his hand, the stars began to fall! It was like a page out of a myth! That’s Noah-sama for you!”

“No, no, there’s a slight possibility that the stars just happened to fall when I held up my hand…….”

“Don’t be so modest! Since you can handle super high magic like floating in the air, it should be easy for you to make stars fall!”

Eh!?

Levitation magic was such an advanced magic!?

“Noah is amazing ~ In addition, there’s been no one who has been able to use the extreme magic of no attribute [Infinite Meteor Rain] …… since the heroes of the past. It’s really amazing ~”

“Your mother… definitely knew what she was doing, I’m sure of it.”

Laurie nodded with an expression of conviction.

What do you mean!?

“Probably to make Noah-sama’s competence even more known, she pretended as if to bring him back and made him do a competent move. 』

“What the hell! What a schemer my mother is!”

“Rather, Noah-sama is a…Geez! 』

……Anyway.

In front of the people and my mother, I have made a competent move!

Damn it!

How did this happen?!
