Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? (Am I Actually the Strongest?)

Five years ago,

in the fall of my third year of junior high, I stopped leaving my room after being bullied.

Let's check out that event sometime.

I'm down!

I lost all hope in my future and lived life aimlessly.

Then it happened.

Congratulations!

After careful consideration, you've been selected to be reincarnated!

What? Reincarnated?

No kidding?

Guess I ended up dying in that room.

This new world is one where magical faculty means everything.

So, I'll be granting you overpowered skills to facilitate your new life!

Try and enjoy things to the fullest your second time around!

I see...

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

A nice, quiet life!

Binging anime and games all day long until you doze off without realizing it...

Nothing beats that degenerate lifestyle!

All right! Reincarnate me!

I'll use those overpowered skills she mentioned

to live a lazy life, fantasy world or not!

I need to start all the way from infancy?!

Your Majesty!

A healthy baby boy!

Oh! Bravo!

Well, Gizelotte?

A lovely prince who takes after both of us.

He clearly bears the royal insignia on his left breast.

There can be no doubt he's our child!

Come, now. Why, of course he is!

This babe and handsome old guy are my parents?

Wait, royalty?

I can probably stay shut-in if I'm eighth in line or so.

Now then, on with the magical assessment!

Right away.

What's his maximum mana level?

The child born to the Flash Princess, who defeated the Demon King, and myself!

I'm sure he'll be at least level 40... no, 50!

M-My word!

It's level 2!

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

so he can only use barrier magic...

How could this be?!

A good-for-nothing like him, born to the Flash Princess and myself?

It will cause outrage among my subjects!

Indeed.

If word of this gets out...

This isn't gonna be good.

I know!

We'll say that Prince Reinhardt died during childbirth!

Excuse me?!

Am I going to die immediately after reincarnation?!

I was surrounded by awful people in my previous life,

but here, as well?!

Your Majesty, isn't that a bit extreme?

Silence, I say!

One of you!

Dispose of this child in a forest far away from here!

That's an order from your king!

Oh, no!

Huh? What's up?

That guy I just reincarnated!

I gave him overpowered skills, but no one realizes it!

What's that mean?

Turns out the measuring devices in that world only go up to two digits!

Also, I forgot to give him an element!

Wait, what did you set his level to?

1002!

That's in a whole 'nother ballpark...

Am I Actually the Strongest?

Episode 1

Starting at Rock Bottom After Reincarnation

No can do!

My baby strength is getting me nowhere!

I'm in a real pickle!

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

Okay, let's give it a go!

How do I visualize this?

Spherical? Cubic?

See-through?

Oh! Let's go, baby!

Hi-yah!

Here we go!

Who knew magic would be so easy?

I can enlarge it, or give it a color.

It feels like the only limit here is my imagination.

Hm?

Wait, can I use this on myself?

Oh, it worked!

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...

Whoa! That was fast!

Defend!

Hey, that's pretty sturdy!

In that case, I'll create a bunch of small ones...

and attack!

It's not doing much damage.

I need something bigger here!

How do you like that?!

Whoa, you can still get back on your feet?!

You're telling me those trees weren't enough?!

How about this?!

H-Hold it right there!

I surrender!

Surrender? Who said that?

Whatever, ignore her.

Whoa!

H-Hey!

I said I surrender!

Oh, it was the doggy!

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

Who knew you'd be so strong?

What in the world are you?

You can't speak?

But your behavior seemed grounded in logical reasoning, at least...

Talking, huh?

Things are a bit annoying like this.

I've got it!

How about a barrier that turns thought into sound?

If I attach this to my throat...

H-Hello there!

So you can speak!

Who are you?

You look like a newborn human baby to me.

What was my name? Reinhardt?

That's a mouthful.

My name is Haruto!

I was born in a faraway kingdom,

but I was abandoned on account of my low mana level.

What are you saying?

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

Wait! Are you the Demon King reincarnate?!

I was actually a jobless shut-in in my past life...

but I don't want her knowing I'm a loser...

Why, yes. I am the Demon King.

So that was indeed your true identity!

She believed it so easily.

It's little wonder you're so strong.

I admit defeat. Now, kill me!

That seems a bit excessive...

I'm fine as long as you don't attack me from here on out.

What generosity!

I applaud you, Demon King!

Then I swear upon my name as a proud Flame Fenrir to keep that promise!

What are you, a samurai?!

Is that so? Glad to hear it.

All right, Flay. Goodbye!

What a turn of events!

I just happened to be walking this way,

and yet I've been met with such fortune!

Please wait, Lord Haruto!

Lord?

You've spared my life, and have even bestowed upon me a new name.

Our pact is hereby formed.

My master.

I swear to wholly devote myself to you.

When I called you "Flay", I was just shortening it...

Such a splendid-sounding name.

She's not listening!

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

Huh?

My master!

What's the matter?!

A problem that can't be solved with magic has come up...

Let...

Let?!

Let me... suck on some boobies.

Boobies...

Do you mean breast milk?

I guess I'm asking for too much.

I'll do something about it.

Really?!

I shall do what I must for my master!

I've successfully changed shape into a human.

Is something the matter?

Put on some clothes!

M-My apologies!

For making you behold such a lowly sight...

No, that's not what I...

There!

Wait, that's even sexier!

The breast milk, then?

Yes, please.

Why are you stripping?!

A mother can only start producing breast milk after mating.

Now then, fill me with your seed!

Go on!

She's a total ditz, isn't she?

My deepest apologies.

I got your hopes up with my thoughtless remarks.

Well, it's entirely understandable.

Flay?

Someone's approaching.

What?

Shall I kill them?

No, let's start with communication.

Ask them what they're after.
