Reincarnated As The Piggy Duke This Time I M Gonna Tell Her How I Feel Volume 5

Despite Slowe's best efforts, the anime's plot continues to unfold. The war between the northern and southern parts of the continent has begun. Slowe arrives in the Dungeon City, Zenelaus, which is under attack by the Dustour Empire. And who does he find fighting on the front lines? It's none other than the anime's righteous protagonist and the heroine princess. "Shuya, Alicia, I actually came to find you two." Slowe knows that the one that will destroy the city won't be the lich, or even one of the Three Musketeers. Instead, it'll be...a berserk Shuya. In Shuya Marionette, the Zenelaus story arc concluded in tragedy. Which path will Slowe choose now?

Slowe is invited to the royal castle to receive his reward for slaying the dragon. There, he hears a shocking report: Rooney, a soldier of the Dustour Empire, has appeared in Huzak...which marks the start of the storyline from the first twelve episodes of Shuya Marionette! Rooney tries to start a war with the south using the monster-controlled Huzak as a foothold. Slowe then transforms into an orc and infiltrates Huzak to stop him! However... “Why do I have to wear this?!” He ends up having a big quarrel with Charlotte, who transforms into a pixie!!! And then... “As a token of our thanks, we'll make a bronze monument of you in this village! Oink!” The orc village that Slowe visits begin to wholeheartedly worship him as a hero! Can the Piggy Duke successfully prevent his new life from playing out like the anime?

Kirsch is in an uproar. Who should come to visit but the upcoming queen of Daryth, Carina Little Daryth herself? Due to Slowe’s recent accomplishments, he ends up accepting the job to take care of her while she is here at school. He follows the free-spirited princess everywhere; during classes, during breaks, and— “Slowe, won’t you go explore the dungeon with me?” Princess Carina reveals the real reason why she is here at Kirsch: to look for a dragon hatchling, which would bring extraordinary military power to Daryth. Slowe heads off with Princess Carina on an expedition into the dungeon. But in his absence, the unexpected happens and the whole school is thrown into chaos. “Charlotte, I swore that I would never, ever lose you again.” Will Slowe make it back in time to rescue Charlotte and the school from the crisis they’re facing?!

With “hero of Zenelaus” newly added to his résumé, Slowe returns home to Daryth. The queen is waiting for him in the country’s capital with a shocking declaration: she wants him to become the Guardian Knight! Accepting the position means that he would have to devote his entire being to the queen of Daryth...and bid farewell to Charlotte. What can Slowe do? Meanwhile, Nanatrij abandons her plan to achieve peace across the continent by uniting it under her empire and withdraws her troops from battle. Unfortunately, the Dream Dealer Witch disagrees and goes rogue, attacking Kirsch Mage Institute! “Don’t you dare think you can just barge into my life like this! I won’t let you get in the way of the future I want!” Slowe finds himself at the center of a storm that’s sending the world into turmoil. What will he decide in the end?

A rift runs deep between mother and daughter—not just any mother and daughter, but the queen and crown princess of Daryth. The queen has taken the first steps towards Princess Carina’s ascension to the throne by staging a ceremony at Kirsch Mage Institute, but behind the pomp and circumstance lurks a heartless plan to gamble with Carina’s life. The queen means to use the young princess as bait to lure the witch out of hiding. Carina, meanwhile, can only grin and put on a brave face for her country. The fate of the nation rests on the bridging of this rift—how could Slowe possibly in good conscience sit idly by? Slowe intends to intervene by wreaking havoc on everyone’s plans. After all, he has nothing left to fear...for he’s the invincible hero who finally manages to confess to his beloved retainer!

In the popular anime Shuya Marionette, there is a character whom everyone looks upon with scorn: the so-called “Piggy Duke,” third son of Duke Denning and a student of Kirsch Mage Institute. This can only spell doom for the current Slowe Denning, who knows he’s been reincarnated into the world of that anime as said villain! There is a ray of hope, however. If he uses his in-depth knowledge of the anime and his unparalleled power as a master of all the elements, surely Slowe can gain popularity with his peers and change his fate! Perhaps this time, he can make the one small wish that never came to fruition in the anime come true: to become a man worthy of Charlotte, his retainer, and to confess his love to her!

Slowe thought he left House Denning behind him when he chose to become the blackhearted Piggy Duke. He walked away from his family, his knights, his reputation—all for the sake of the girl he loved. Even so, those days feel like a distant memory as, driven by his feelings for Charlotte, Slowe has proven his merit time and again. Everyone regards him highly now, so at last, he can bury the Piggy Duke persona for good... That is, until his past comes back to haunt him. The arrival of his sister and a new potential retainer is only the beginning. He’s also reunited with his father, Balderoy Denning, who drags Slowe into a new battle he can’t afford to lose—a battle that may win him true freedom should he emerge victorious. Freedom from the expectations of House Denning. Freedom to be with whoever he wants. Whether this is a blessing or a burden isn’t yet clear, but Slowe’s sure of one thing... He’s willing to wager everything he has for a place by Charlotte’s side, just like he once did many years ago.

Ever since the Great Spirit of Darkness surrendered, world peace has finally become a reality. But the antics of Neon—Dustour’s prince and royal pain in the butt—are keeping Slowe from his happily ever after with Charlotte! What awaits Slowe is a love story with many twists and turns, one not unlike his own—a romance between a prince and his retainer. Feeling an odd sense of kinship, Slowe keeps tabs on the couple until an envoy from the north crashes the party with unreasonable challenges of his own. To realize their forbidden love, the couple must overcome these daunting tasks. But Slowe and Neon must be wary, for the night of the arisen is creeping up on them. Blood waltzes in the air like an elegant dance, and Slowe can only hope that the flowers of love will come into full bloom, standing tall and strong against all adversity.
