Am I Actually the Strongest? (実は俺、最強でした？)

Five years ago,

the bullying in junior high got so bad

I stopped leaving my room.

Let's check out that new horror movie.

I'm down!

I lost all hope for the future.

I became depressed and aimless.

Then it happened.

Congratulations, sad one!

After a great deal of careful consideration,

you have been selected for reincarnation!

What? Did you say?

No kidding?

Guess I ended up dying in that room.

In this new world, magic means everything.

So, I'll grant you overpowered skills

to facilitate your new life!

And for this time around.

How 'bout you try to enjoy things to the fullest, 'kay?

In that case, there's only one thing I could ask for.

A nice, quiet life!

Binging anime and games all day long

until I finally pass out for the night.

I know it's lazy, but that's my jam!

All right! Reincarnate me!

I'll use those OP skills

she mentioned to live a sweet, low-key life,

fantasy world or not!

I have to start out as a baby?

It's a boy, Sire!

And he looks so healthy and regal to me!

Oh! Most excellent!

Well, Gizelotte?

A lovely prince who takes after both of us.

He clearly bears the royal insignia on his left breast.

There's no doubt this gorgeous boy's our child!

Well, of course, he is, what an odd thing to say!

This babe and handsome old dude are my parents?

And they're royalty?

I'm gonna be able to stay in all day if I want to!

And now let us get on with the magical assessment,

shall we?

Right away, sir!

What's his maximum mana level?

This child is born to the Demon King-defeating

Flash Princess, and myself!

So, I'm sure he'll be at least level forty, no, fifty!

Oh, oh my!

It's level two!

What's more, he seems to possess no element,

so he can only use barrier magic.

But how could this be?

A good-for-nothing like him,

born to the Flash Princess and myself?

A tragedy for the kingdom!

I'm afraid you're right. If word of this were to get out.

Not loving the sound of this.

I know!

We'll just announce to the kingdom

that poor Prince Reinhardt died during childbirth!

What? I'm gonna die right after reincarnating?

I was surrounded by jerks in my previous life,

but do they have to follow me here, too?

Your Majesty, isn't that a bit extreme?

Silence!

One of you will deliver the news to the people of the kingdom!

That's an order from your king!

Oh, no!

Huh? What's going on?

I made that guy I just reincarnated overpowered,

but his parents aren't able to figure it out!

What do you mean?

The measuring devices in that world

only go up to two digits!

Also, I may have kinda forgotten to give him an element!

Okay. So, what's his level?

One thousand two!

That is stratospheric.

Ugh. My baby strength is getting me nowhere!

This totally sucks!

Didn't that guy say I can use barrier magic?

Okay, let's give it a try!

How do I visualize it, though? Spherical? Cubic? Transparent?

Let's go, baby!

Hi-yah! Heck yeah!

Who woulda known that doing magic would be so easy?

I can enlarge it, or give it a color.

It kinda feels like the only limit here

is my imagination.

Wait, can I use this on myself?

Holy wow!

This power's more useful than I thought.

Doesn't seem like it uses up mana or anything.

Now, if I come across a wild animal, I'll...

That was fast! Defend!

Hey! It's pretty sturdy!

In that case.

I'll create a bunch of small ones,

and attack!

It's not doing much damage. I think I need something bigger!

How do you like that?

Whoa, it can still get back on its feet?

I threw, like, a whole forest at it!

How about this?

No! Stop! I surrender!

Hold on. Who said that? Eh, whatever.

Whoa!

Hey now! I just told you "I surrender!"

It was the dog!

Originally, I was planning on eating you to replenish my mana.

I didn't know you'd be so strong.

So, what kind of creature are you?

Wait a second, you can't speak?

That's pretty confusing,

since your behavior seemed so grounded

in logical reasoning.

I can't talk.

Well, this is gonna get old really quick. Unless?

How about a barrier that turns thought into sound?

If I attach this to my throat...

Hello, doggy!

Oh, my goodness, you can speak!

Will you tell me who you are?

Because, you look like a newborn human baby to me.

What was my name?

Reinhardt? Nah, that sounds kinda dumb.

My name is Haruto!

I'm from a faraway kingdom

and I was abandoned due to my low mana level.

What are you saying?

I sense mana emanating from you that far exceeds human limits.

Wait! The Demon King reincarnate?

I was actually a jobless shut-in

in my past life.

But, I don't want her thinking I'm some kind of loser.

You are correct. I'm the Demon King.

I knew it, it really is you!

Well, that was easy.

No wonder you're so strong.

I must admit defeat. Kill me now, Demon King!

I think that's a bit much.

We're good as long as you don't attack me from here on out.

Such excessive generosity! You have my word, Sire!

And this I swear to you.

I will keep my promise not to harm you,

as sure as I'm a proud Flame Fenrir!

What are you, a samurai?

Well, I'm really glad to hear that.

All right, then. Goodbye, Flay!

What a magical night!

I was just out for a casual stroll,

and yet I've been met with such blessed fortune!

Please wait, Lord Haruto!

Lord?

You've spared my life, even given me a new name.

A pact has now been forged between us.

You are my master.

And I swear to devote myself wholly to you.

When I called you "Flay",

that was just my way of shortening it.

A great name!

She's not listening!

And I didn't mean to enter into a pact with you.

Huh?

Oh, no! My poor Master!

This is a problem that can't be solved with magic.

- Hey. -Yes?

Give me them. Boobies.

Boobies? You mean breast milk?

I guess I'm asking for too much.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you, Flay!

Anything you say, Sir! Your wish is my command!

I've successfully changed shape into a human.

Is something the matter?

Put on some clothes!

I beg your forgiveness, Master!

For making you behold such a lowly sight.

No, no, that's not what I... Here!

But that's sexier!

You still want the breast milk, or what?

Yes, I'm very hungry.

Why the heck are you stripping?

Oh, I'm sorry, but a mother is only capable

of producing breast milk once she's mated.

So, if you'd be so kind as to give me your seed!

Well?

She must not know what she's saying.

I apologize.

I feel I may have upset you with my forward remarks, sir.

Communication is a tricky thing.

What is it?

Someone's approaching. Shall I kill them?

No. That's a little bit hasty.

Why don't we try diplomacy first?

I believe this magic should enable you to hear me.

Understood, sir.

What brings you this way, stranger?

I've come to claim that baby.

-Not happening! -Seriously?
