Afterword
Nice to meet you, I’m the author Kuroyuki Yukina.
Thank you very much for picking up this book.
First, I’d like to briefly discuss this work. In short, it’s what you’d call a villain reincarnation story. The protagonist suddenly reincarnates as Luke, a monster-like talented villain noble, and various things happen as he tries to avoid ruin.
However, just that much isn’t really new. Reincarnating as a villain who was supposed to be destroyed and scrambling to prevent that. I’m sure those who have picked up this book have read works with similar content before.
So I thought I wanted to add some kind of accent.
What exactly is that? Those who have read this work likely already know. ──Yes, [Perversion]. I added an accent by introducing various extremely heavy perverted characters.
Rather than how the protagonist avoids ruin, I placed more emphasis on the changes brought about by characters who shouldn’t be trying hard at all making an effort, and constructed this story around that.
As a result, the doting father’s obsession with his son grew tremendously worse, the stern butler became a fanatic, the seriously sadistic heroine became seriously masochistic, a dangerous guy who shouldn’t have been involved in the story at all appeared…it’s quite chaotic, isn’t it?
Additionally, while keeping the backbone of the overwhelmingly strong protagonist, I finished it with a comedic taste. This is strongly influenced by the works I respect of Maruyama Kugane-sensei and Akatsuki Natsume-sensei. If I managed to make you smile or laugh even once reading this work, nothing could make me happier.
Now then, please allow me to extend my thanks.
First is my editor, Kida-san. Thank you so much for finding my work. I’m incredibly grateful, words of thanks aren’t enough. Though when you first contacted me, the word count was clearly insufficient for one volume…I remember even now, very clearly, that beyond the joy, I was more surprised because I took it as having high expectations.
During the work to publication process as well, you listened very sincerely to the opinions of me, someone without any accomplishments, I truly thank you.
And Denim-sensei, who illustrated the wonderful pictures. I’m very sorry for being so selfish! I made various demands, wanting things here and there to be like this. I’m really sorry for being cheeky! I’m also at a loss for words of thanks to Denim-sensei, who drew such amazing illustrations without giving up on me until the end. Thank you again, truly.
And the readers who have been supporting me since I was posting on the web. Thanks to all of you I was able to get a publication. Please continue treating me well in the future! Sorry for the late updates!
Finally, to everyone who picked up this book. I’m happy if you enjoyed it even a little. Please give me your impressions on Twitter with the hashtag [#ExtremelyWickedNoble]. Also, this work is still being serialized on Kakuyomu. If you’re interested in the continuation, I’d be happy if you could stop by and take a peek.
I don’t know if a sequel will be possible, but I intend to continue writing the story of Luke-kun, who is extremely arrogant and overflowing with talent, but somehow things don’t go well for him because of the gathering perverts, as he works hard while battling stomach pain.
Well then, I’d like to wrap things up around here.
Once more, to all the readers who picked up this book, thank you very much!

E-book Bonus Exclusive Short Story
[What if Luke and the others were high school students in modern times【Nabe Party Edition】]
Aslan Elite Academy.
Surmounting the frightening exam war said to have a 300-fold, or even 400-fold competition rate, only a handful of students who pass are permitted enrollment to this prestigious academy.
They say those who can enter this academy are guaranteed a brilliant future without exception.
This is a glimpse at the daily life of those chosen ones──.
“….A nabe party?”
“Yeah! A nabe party! Let’s do it, Luke!”
On one side the young master [Luke] of one of the top conglomerates in the country, on the other the boy [Abel] born and raised at an orphanage.
Those two, who normally shouldn’t get along at all, were exchanging words as if it were natural in the corner of the classroom.
“It’s super fun! Especially with friends!”
“….Heh heh. Friends you say? You’re saying interesting things, Abel. There’s no way you and I are equals──”
“What what! You’re having a nabe party!? I wanna go too!”
“Of course Lily. Let’s all do it together!”
“Hey……”
“Got it. I’ll also invite Lloyd and Leonardo! Be right back!”
“Yeah, please do. I’m looking forward to it Luke!” Huh, what’s wrong Luke?”
“…………”
Luke unconsciously collapsed onto his desk.
(….Why does this always happen?)
Yes, this is by no means a rare occurrence. For some reason, Luke gets jerked around by the people around him. Recently, he’s started thinking maybe this is his fate.
(Just showing a little…the tiniest bit of interest in this mysterious word [nabe party] without strongly refusing, and this is the result….)
“….So what exactly is this [nabe party]?”
“Huh!? Y-you don’t know, Luke!?”
Luke felt irritated at Abel’s excessive surprise. But at the same time, questions arose within him as well. Just how major is this [nabe party] thing?
He searched his own knowledge, but as expected, he couldn’t find the answer.
“─A [nabe party] is short for nabe pot party. It’s a gathering where everyone brings ingredients and enjoys nabe hot pot together. It’s not strange Luke doesn’t know. He’s had no opportunities for such commoner parties, after all. That said, even I just happen to know about it.”
The answer came from elsewhere.
From Alice, approaching with a clacking sound.
“Of course, if Luke’s going, I’ll participate as well? No problem with that, right?”
“O-of course, Miss Alice.”
Unable to refuse Alice’s pressure, Abel shrank back a little.
“Hey….I haven’t said anything about doing it──”
“Um! I-I want to join too…is that okay?”
“Of course, Miss Mia!”
Mia called out with considerable courage, occasionally glancing at Luke.
And then Lily came back with Lloyd and Leonardo in tow.
“Abel~, Lloyd and Leonardo gave the okay too!”
“Great! I’m looking forward to it Luke!”
“…………”
“Yo, I’ll also invite─”
“That’s quite disgusting, but who exactly?”
“Uh…”
“Damn, it’s been a while since a nabe party, shithead.”
“…………”
When is it going to happen, and where?
Amidst the talk flying about when and where to hold it, Luke quietly thought.
(──Somehow, the atmosphere has become like it’s already been decided we’re having a nabe party…why?)
Luke sighed as he watched his lively classmates happily chatting around his seat. Then once again he collapsed atop his desk──.
On a certain holiday.
For various reasons, it was decided a nabe party would be held at Luke’s mansion──but currently, the air was tense to the point it could hardly be called a party at all.
The only sound that could be heard was the stimulating gurgling of the cooking nabe.
“Amazing~! Luke’s house is like a real castle!”
“─Quiet, Abel. Focus.”
“What? ……? “
The students of Aslan Elite Academy have a common trait. As you can tell from the horrible competition rate they overcame──they are unreasonably sore losers.
Luke is no exception. Failure cannot be permitted for him no matter what. Even if it’s at [nabe party].
Compromising on what he wants to eat means clear defeat for Luke.
“…………”
“Uh, everyone, let’s chat some mo─”
Instead of a fun nabe party, they stared at the pot like carnivores eyeing prey.
When Abel tried to call out to everyone like that──
──It boiled.
In an instant, they moved.
It was practically a simultaneous event that everyone besides Abel stretched their chopsticks towards the pot.
“─Gahh! As if I’d let you mongrels have the meat!!”
“Nooo my meat!”
“Fork over the cabbage, shithead.”
“Ouch. W-who just hit me!?”
“Please don’t look at my tofu. Disgusting.”
“L-Luke! I’ll give you my meat too!”
“Hey! Not Luke, give it to me! I haven’t eaten!”
“….No.”
“─Hah.”
Seeing that spectacle, Abel thought.
This kind of [nabe party] isn’t bad──.
“Tch, as expected, I should join too─”
“No more, dear. Things like this are for the children to enjoy alone.”
Claude, who had been watching through the crack of the door, resolved in his heart that next time he would definitely have a nabe party with Luke──.
