The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

100 – A Little Uncomfortable Companion.

North of the Marquis of Brune, Little Lake.

It is a city that must be passed through in order to return to the county.

Originally, I was supposed to take a wagon from here to Arrianrod Fortress in the Earl of Wentos, but a problem arose here.

“Boss, it is said that carriages are temporarily suspended due to an avalanche.”

Phyllis, who had gone to buy a carriage ticket, said that with a troubled face.

There are several mountains between Little Lake and Fort Arianrod.

Of course, in winter, the snow piles up to make a beautiful snowy mountain.

Due to the region’s constant snowfall in winter, avalanches do occur, although the odds are extremely low.

“How long do you say it will take?”

“Fortunately, it’s not serious, but they say it should be at least tomorrow.”

Mmm.

Well, you can go there on foot, but going up and around the mountain takes a lot of time.

It’s probably faster to get there tomorrow by car.

“I can’t help it, let’s stay here for today and go tomorrow.”

“Yes, young master. Then I will arrange accommodations for you.”

Phyllis said that and disappeared.

Well, I think if you leave it to Phyllis, she will find the right place for you.

Then, while Phyllis is looking for a place to stay, let’s do some shopping.

I thought so, but he had to stop after a few steps.

“…I don’t have a wallet.”

I left it to Phyllis.

In the end, I decided to wait quietly on the spot until Phyllis came.

As it is Little Lake, which is the passage point of various cities in the northern part of the kingdom, it took quite a long time even though there were many lodgings.

Anyway, there are a lot of people at the carriage ticket booth.

It seemed that the chaos was continuing due to the sudden carriage stop.

“Well…Even if you say so, if you don’t clear the snow and make a road, the wagon will become unstable and you won’t be able to run!”

Guides making excuses in a cold sweat against those who protest.

Well, since an avalanche itself really explodes in the middle of nowhere, it must have been a disaster on the side of the carriage society.

A lot of people are probably stranded in Little Lake for a day.

…Wait.

Could this be why Phyllis is late?

“Sorry I’m late, youngster. It took me a while to find a place to stay as most of them were already full.”

As expected.

In this situation where many lodgings are full, Phyllis somehow managed to find a lodging.

Well, I only caught one, but she had to share a room with Phyllis.

“I’m sorry, Bocchan. It may be inconvenient.”

“No, it doesn’t really matter.”

To put it bluntly, if this is inconvenient, it’s inconvenient for the exclusive attendants to come into your room to wake you up in the morning.

“Avalanche more suddenly than that, what happened?”

“Shall we find out?”

“No, it’s dangerous to blindly search a snowy mountain where an avalanche has just occurred.”

Although it is said to be a time when the cold weather gradually subsides, it is not uncommon for an avalanche to erupt when the temperature barely rises slightly.

Then there must be a reason.

That said, going directly to the snowy mountain to find out the cause is too dangerous, as I said before.

…There is no reason for me to risk my life to climb a snowy mountain.

“Well, they say the road will open tomorrow, so let’s just wait and see.”

“Okay.”

The next day.

The ticket office of the horse-drawn carriage was in an immediate situation.

That’s not to be the case, I thought I was clearing the snow and clearing the road, but once again a big avalanche struck.

Fortunately, the people who made the wall with magic and pierced the road were safe, but an unfortunate accident occurred when the pierced road was blocked again.

“What should I do, young boy?”

Phyllis’ words made me think.

You can think of the first as an accidental avalanche, but the second is hardly a coincidence.

It’s not even the time when avalanches erupt so often, so how can they erupt twice in a row like this?

“Let’s wait one more day, just one more day.”

“Okay.”

And then the next day.

“Everyone! I’m sorry! It’s the first time something like this has happened at our carriage party…”

Three consecutive days of avalanches.

Machahoe staff are literally apologizing to customers to the point where their hands are on fire.

I was sure.

Something is definitely happening in the mountains.

“Right now, the Marquis of Brunen has dispatched soldiers to find out the cause of the problem! Please wait until then!”

As expected, at this point, the Marquis Brune, who governs this area, must have thought that there was a problem.

The carriage club staff explains it that way, but let’s be honest.

For carriage riders, ‘it’s your business’ is the reality.

“I have an important deal! It’s already late!”

“Ah! What can I do!”

“Lady! Wake up! Lady!!”

“Mom, when are you going to my house?”

…It’s sh*t.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have turned around on the first day.

“Phyllis, let’s go.”

“Are you going to climb the mountain?”

“Yes, I’ve lived in the north for over ten years, so that’s no big deal. Phyllis…”

“I have no problem either.”

I guess so.

With that in mind, I left the carriage party.

Anyway, to climb a snowy mountain, various tools are essential.

There are many mountainous areas around Little Lake, so it was very easy to find tools there.

While I was looking for tools like that, Phyllis quietly spoke to me from behind.

“Brother.”

“I know.”

It wasn’t a big deal what Phyllis was trying to say.

After we left the carriage party, there was a group of people secretly following us from behind.

Two, no…Three.

One is frighteningly good at hiding his presence.

“Suppress?”

“No, I don’t think he intends to harm us.”

Stopping Phyllis, who brought her hand to the side of her leg that hid her memorization, turned her head to feel the presence of her follower.

…

Did he hide to hide?

Is it correct to say that it is black, no, dark red hair?

The long, curly hair is all sticking out, so you can see it all.

“…Hey, if you have something to say, I think it’s better to come out and say it proudly.”

At my words, the dark red hair that was sticking out twitched and went back.

“……”

“……”

As Phyllis and I continued to look at each other in silence, did she realize that it was already too late for the other side?

Two people suddenly appeared from behind the wall where they were hiding.

One is a young man in his twenties wearing a butler’s uniform.

And one is a girl who looks to be the same age as Nana Kino.

The dark red hair sticking out from behind the wall seemed to be hers.

“To see through my complete tailing! That’s amazing!”

…

Was it perfect?

Well, it could have been perfect by his standards.

I decided to move on quietly and looked at her face.

A girl with dark red curly hair down to her waist and golden eyes.

She’s wearing a thick traveling suit, but what makes her look pretty is that of a rich girl or an aristocratic girl.

Well, as long as there is a butler attached, there is no doubt that she is a high-ranking lady.

“So, may I ask what you were following us for?”

Phyllis stepped forward, she said.

Perhaps he was a little angry, he was letting out a feeble killing blow.

“Kuh…”

Perhaps he felt that murderous feeling, the young butler began to prepare for battle with a nervous expression on his face.

“Yeah!! That’s right! I should tell you about my business here!!”

… As if the girl didn’t know that, she proceeded with the story naturally.

Or was she so optimistic that she didn’t feel alive at all.

“You guys! Are you planning on climbing this mountain?”

“…That’s right.”

“And you are familiar with the area.”

“Yes.”

At my words, the girl smiled brightly.

“Okay! Then would you like to take us too? We’ll give you a reward!”

At that, I looked at Phyllis.

Well, as long as there are enough supplies, the more people, the better.

Even the young butler who is nervous in front of him doesn’t look bad, not to mention the other one who is still hiding his presence.

I don’t know the skills of that optimistic girl, though.

“It doesn’t matter, but our target is the Aryanrod Fortress in the Earl of Wentos?”

“Oh my goodness? We’re going to the Arianrod Fortress too. I think it went well?”

Arianrod Fortress?

To be honest, it’s a little too much to call it a tourist destination, and the surroundings are dangerous, so few people come here on purpose.

When I looked at the girl with that thought in mind, the girl grinned.

What is their true identity?

“…Who are you guys?”

“Secret! For now, it’s supposed to be like that.”

“If you want to go with me, shouldn’t you tell me that much?”

At my words, the girl gaped open her mouth.

“Uh…Then call me Lepia. This is Rush.”

“Miss Lefia, Mr. Rush, right? The other one?”

At my words, I could see the eyebrows of the girl who said the name Lefia twitched.

A slight smile came to her lips, and she opened her mouth.

“You can come out.”

Thump!!

The person who was killing the presence wanted to approach this place, and it fell in front of her eyes.

Yes, with a thump.

…Is that ankle okay? I think it fell wrong.

The masked figure looked like a woman from the lines of her body.

After she came down to the ground, she stayed still with her head down.

…No, that’s not standing still.

If you look closely, you can see that your body is shaking slightly…

…You’re holding back the pain. It’s the wrong fall

“…I…My name is Rosa.”

It is obvious that the voice is forcibly squeezed out through enduring pain.

I can’t even point this out.

“Since you revealed your name, it would be appreciated if you could tell me your name as well.”

At Le Pia’s words, I met Phyllis’s eyes for a moment and then said her name.

Of course, it’s a pseudonym.

“It’s two.”

“This is Aris.”

“Ah, that’s your pseudonym?!”

I wonder if I used a pseudonym too loosely, it was caught right away.

“You guys didn’t reveal your identity properly either, did you?”

“But, at least we used our real names!”

Le Pia grumbled, puffing out her cheeks.

…No, in real life, there is a kid who puffs up his cheeks like that?

“Anyway, let’s cooperate as long as we don’t reveal the details of each other’s identities.”

“Hmm, I don’t understand something… But this is the one I’m asking for, so can’t I help it…?”

Lupia had a slightly dissatisfied expression on her face, but she seemed convinced.

The World Tree Church is in an emergency.

A sharp letter of protest from the kingdom.

And the Pauline xie jiao who revealed that everything written in the protest letter was true.

Of course, Cardinal Gerald was mad at the top of his head.

Since the relationship with the kingdom has already been broken for a long time anyway, you can just give a few excuses and ignore the letter of protest.

However, I didn’t like the fact that Alan Ludwig, who was already treated as a ‘tool’ rather than a ‘hero’, had another accident.

Following Cardinal Gerald’s furious words to bring him right away, the Pauline cult brought Alan.

“Ugh…”

The figure of Alan, who was dragged by the cult of Paul, was miserable.

His left arm is missing, and his right wrist is fractured and swollen from not being properly treated.

Only those two places were serious, and bruises were visible all over the body.

Looking at these bruises, it looks like he was beaten by several people all at once…

“To some extent, I punished them first.”

Paul It seems to have been a cult.

Cardinal Gerald looked at Alan with cold eyes.

“Alan Ludwig, I’m sure he told you to do the mission the church gives you instead of giving you strength.”

“……”

“But what the hell are you thinking, you keep escaping from the Church’s control?”

Alan didn’t say anything to Cardinal Gerald’s question.

He just lays his eyes on the floor.

At that appearance, Cardinal Gerald sighed heavily.

I’d like to get rid of him, but the World Tree is an important person, so I have to secure him.

“…Send him to the church ward.”

“Okay.”

Some priests dragged Alan out.

One of the remaining priests looked at Cardinal Gerald.

“What about treatment?”

“The ward will take care of it. I won’t mind.”

“Okay, then I’ll prepare the prosthetic arm at the same time as the whole body treatment.”

“A prosthetic hand?”

At the priest’s words, Cardinal Gerald glared at him with fearful eyes.

“Did you say prosthetic arm now?”

“Yes…? It is customary to prepare a magical prosthetic arm for a dismembered knight…”

“Listen carefully.”

Cardinal Gerald said with a stern expression.

“Luxury items like magic prosthetic arms that cost a lot of money, there is no need to attach them to him.”

“Yes… Yes?”

“I’m right-handed anyway, so what’s the problem, tell me to treat my right hand in moderation.”

At the cardinal’s grim words, the priest hurriedly lowered his head and left the room.

Cardinal Gerald murmured in the room where only the cult of Paul was left.

“…Everything as the World Tree wants…”
