The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

Chapter 17

17 – The bad hunch came true.

Alan Ludwig was making his way through the woods with Emilia Silvereit, whom he happened to be teaming up with.

Alan stood at the forefront, followed by Alan’s summoned fairy, followed by Emilia and her summons.

However, for some reason, Emilia Silvrate was following me from a distance.

“Miss Emilia, she doesn’t think there’s a need to follow her so far…”

“Oh…No! I’m comfortable with this!”

Emilia is startled when Alan speaks to her.

She was so startled that her tail, which she had hidden under her shorts under her skirt, almost stood on end.

“Hey, Mr. Alan?”

“Huh? What happened?”

“Are you… Wearing perfume or something?”

Alan blinks at Emilia’s unexpected question.

Actually, Alan had never put on anything like perfume in his life.

To be honest, perfume was one of the most expensive items for the upper classes, and even if his father bought it, it was intended as a gift for his mother.

Even Alan himself had never thought of wanting to spray it.

“No, I don’t spray it.”

“That…Is it?”

When there was only awkwardness between the two, Emilia’s summoned wolf barked loudly.

Crying hot at the cry of the pet, Emilia shouted.

“Alan-san! The monster is nearby!”

“Oops!!”

The monster must have recognized Alan’s group, and the signs of the monster immediately approached in a straight line, so Alan and Emilia prepared to fight.

“The number of monsters has increased since I entered.”

Me and Riel entered the outdoor class area.

The monsters appearing around here are none other than goblins.

It’s not strong, but it moves like a single army in large groups, armed with all sorts of weapons, and there are also those who tame and ride Gray Wolves.

“Riel! Some of them have fallen that way, so watch out!”

“Yes!”

Riel, who listened to me and answered, calmly chanted her magic.

Some goblins with crude bows shot arrows at Riel, but Riel’s pet, Frey, swung her tail and knocked out all the arrows.

That cat is really good at it

“Kong!!”

A baduk player who runs to the goblin who shot Riel with an arrow and bites her in the neck.

Seeing the Go player wagging his tail while looking back at me as if asking, I felt a sense of satisfaction.

Yes, our baduk player is also good at it.

I used the wind cutter to slash and kill several goblins that were charging at me with weapons.

Riel’s support is from Go and Frey, and my support is from Riel, who is supported by the two, so I just need to focus on dealing with the enemy in front of her.

Anyway, this wind cutter is really good magic to use.

It takes less time to chant, and the power is quite menacing.

The only downside is that the effort required to learn is not a joke.

When a villain who mainly uses wind cutters appeared in the latter half of the original novel, the excellence of wind cutters was explained several times in the novel, so I desperately learned these wind cutters as I grew up.

Finally, the family I was born in, the Wentos family, had magical powers that were friendly to wind magic, and with my efforts, I somehow managed to acquire it.

I remember learning the wind cutter at a young age and running amok with great excitement.

…Well, it’s quite a dark history at that time now.

“Kyou! Come from the side again!”

While Riel bought time by blowing firearms to keep her in check, she cuts the goblins to death with her sword.

No matter how comfortable the wind cutter is, it can’t be helped because if you use it too much, you won’t have any magic power left.

“Go!”

“Kong!!”

I found a guy trying to run away and called a go player.

As if he was my summoned beast, he must have read my thoughts. Go immediately chases him down and kills him by biting him.

If even one goblin survives and escapes, he will call more of his kin.

Of course, if we had the time, we would intentionally let them run away and aim for more prey, but we needed to reorganize, so we couldn’t miss it.

“Kyou, I think the last one was caught by Go.”

“Yes, good work Riel.”

Hearing that, Riel put on a proud expression.

Riel’s potential, which she had never experienced before, was higher than she thought.

She doesn’t panic even when a monster appears, and responds calmly while accurately locating it.

…Isn’t Alan more terrifying to Riel than monsters?

“Then let’s gather magic stones and rearrange them.”

“Yes.”

This magic stone is used to make various magic tools used in our daily lives.

Magic stones can be collected in two ways. One is that they are naturally generated underground like minerals.

Of course, it is not possible to collect it anywhere, but in the case of these magic stones, they are traded at high prices due to their high purity.

Even if you find just one vein of magic stone, you can live on for almost the rest of your life.

…Right now, Count Wentos has grown even bigger after discovering a magic stone vein during the development of the northern part.

The second is the magic stone held inside the body of the monster.

While demonic monsters are active, they are gradually created inside the body, but these magic stones are small in size and low in purity.

Of course, monsters that have lived for a long time have magic stones that are larger in size and higher in purity, but those monsters are just as strong.

Well, this goblin’s magic stone is the size of a fingernail.

“Riel, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, no problem.”

Because the goblin’s manastone is located under the heart, collecting the manastone literally meant splitting the goblin’s body and pulling out the manastone.

She was worried that it would be difficult for the girls, but Riel was silent and did well.

Look at it even now, isn’t it cutting through the goblin’s chest with a dagger without any change in expression?

…

…No, if you look closely, the corners of your mouth are shaking a little.

Fray was by Riel’s side, and Go was wary of his surroundings.

I cleaned up most of the goblin corpses, gathered the magic stones, and put them in my pocket.

“Kyou, this is quite a lot.”

“They said you can keep the collected magic stones after class.”

“Really?”

A goblin-level magic stone would only be useful enough to make a flashlight magic tool.

Well, since I’ve saved quite a lot, I think it’s enough money to eat a full course at a decent restaurant.

After asking Riel to take a break, she made a suitable seat using something like a flat rock nearby and sat Riel down.

Seeing me taking a drink out of her pack, Riel opened her mouth.

“By the way, what kind of people are Kyou’s family?”

“My family?”

“Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.”

Come to think of it, it seems that she has never told Riel about her family.

“My family is normal. My father, my mother, and two younger siblings under me.”

“Did you have a brother? A younger brother? Or a younger sister?”

“Both”

Come to think of it, she seems to have had no contact with her younger siblings since she came to the academy.

I don’t know about her younger brother, Asta, but I think her younger sister, Kino, must have been sulking.

I might have to prepare for the day I go home.

“Umm… I’ve only got a brother and a sister, so I’m not sure what it feels like to have her sister.”

“You might be the opposite of me in that respect.”

My younger brother, Asta, always challenged me to beat me.

My little sister Kino…

…Mmm.

Honestly, in the case of Kino, my fault is really big…

The uneasiness that later, when he grows up and matures, that she will resent me will not go away.

“Come to think of it, I’ve met Riel’s older sister Eve, but what kind of person is her brother?”

“You mean older brother?”

Andrew Ignis, Liel’s older brother.

He is the heir to the next Duke of Ignis, but in the original work, he was never properly mentioned.

It is only mentioned that he is busy working for the kingdom along with his father, and he is not even mentioned by name.

As this world became a reality, as he was the heir to the duke’s family, I naturally came to know his name.

“Brother… I honestly don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“Yes. I remember being very kind when I was young, but he was very busy from then on.”

I see.

And as Riel grew up to a certain extent, after she completely vacated her house, she hardly ever met her.

…I have no idea what the heck is going on, and whether the duke, the duchess, or their heirs will be away from the mansion for a long time.

There was a part that went over to ‘because it was like that in the original work’, but I think this part also needs to be investigated.

My father is still busy, and if I were to ask, it would be my mother.

“Kyou? What’s going on?”

“Ah…! I’m sorry.”

Perhaps I was too deep in my thoughts, Riel’s call brought me to my senses.

Riel was staring at me with her rabbit-red eyes.

“I thought the duke is a very busy person.”

“…That’s right.”

Riel laughs bitterly at the story of her own father.

She looked very lonely, so I made up my mind to quickly find out the cause of her.

“Then let’s go Riel, the sun will set soon.”

“Yes!”

If you go further into the forest, monsters such as ‘Black Wolf’ and ‘Killing Bee’, which can be said to be higher level monsters, also appeared.

Of course, even if it is a high ranking monster, it is not that strong among all monsters.

If you are a student of Grancen Academy, it is a monster of a level that can be dealt with somehow if you calmly deal with it.

If summoned beasts are added to that, it is a level where you won’t get seriously hurt unless you are vigilant.

I’m not proud of it, but for me, who had experience in subjugating monsters, I was more worried about Riel.

However, even Riel’s a little uneasy attitude she showed at the beginning, she was improving and growing.

This growth rate, is it really the main heroine…

I was back at the meeting place now.

If you don’t return to the meeting place by the time the sun goes down, the accumulated points will be nullified.

In fact, several students had returned to the meeting place.

There were some students who were receiving treatment for minor injuries, but no students seemed to be seriously injured.

Fortunately, this time it seemed that nothing had happened just like the original.

I saw Alan from far away.

Befitting a guy with skills, he looked clean without a single injury.

On the other hand, she and Emilia Silbrate, who accompanied him, somehow seemed very tired.

“Miss Emilia, are you okay?”

“It’s okay… It’s okay! Please don’t come too close!!”

As Alan approaches, worried, she is startled and Emilia backs away from her.

Why is he saying that again?

It was a bit nerve-wracking, but soon we went to the line, wanting to score points with the magic stones we had collected.

“Ah!”

“Wow!!”

I turned around at the sudden voice and saw two people.

Aria Owen and Ferris Valtreia.

It seemed that the scoring was over, and they were walking out with their scoring papers in their hands when they found us.

Aria’s cheeks were still scarred by my magic.

…Shouldn’t receiving treatment come first before scoring?

I was glaring at him with an openly uncomfortable expression, but maybe it was because he had been hurt earlier, so he passed by without attacking me again.

And after a while waiting in line to score, Alan’s shouting voice came from behind.

…I had a bad feeling.

“Aria, wouldn’t it be better to get it treated quickly?”

“I see…”

Arya, along with her friend Ferris, was returning to the place where her classmates gathered after scoring the magic stones of the monsters they had hunted.

As soon as she returned to the meeting place, she was so exhausted that she didn’t even think about treating her wounds and went to get the score first.

…Well, it was just a slight cut, and the pain subsided.

Perhaps it’s because the wound was cut by the sharp blade of the wind, but it’s a level that won’t hurt if you receive healing magic.

To put it bluntly, the cut off hair might be more serious than the scar on her cheek.

Above all, it was so embarrassing that he unwittingly threw his magic and was even counterattacked, and then burst into tears in fear at Kyou’s eyes glaring at him.

…To be honest, I didn’t want to think even if the sky fell, that I was scared again when I saw him when I ran into him after the scoring.

“Then… Let’s go to the treatment class over there.”

“Yes.”

Okay, let’s quickly treat these wounds and forget about them.

To be honest, what happened earlier is exactly what Kyo Wentos said.

You should be ashamed to cast magic at an opponent who turned his back in a fit of rage.

…He’s a man I really hate, but I’ll have to apologize to him later.

Arya thought so and was on her way to her medical class with Ferris.

“Aria, Ferris. You guys are back too.”

“Ah, Mr. Alan.”

Alan came over with a handsome smile on his face as always.

He was holding the scoring paper, as if the grading had already been completed.
