The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

43 – Covert Force ①

“How’s the situation?”

“According to the report sent by Gamma, who is monitoring the female dormitory, the female side is having tea with the maid.”

“Looking at the light on the men’s dormitory side, it is reported that she is still awake.”

People covered their faces with black cloth and wore black clothes.

They are the assassins sent by the Church of the World Tree to the royal capital. It was a covert army.

At the report of the subordinates, the man who seemed to be the leader spat out dissatisfaction.

“Chit, the young ones don’t even sleep for what time they are…”

“And captain, there’s a question about staffing in the field.”

“Five combatants on the male side, all the rest on the female side. Our top priority is securing the females.”

“I’ll let you know.”

“I will do it when the target is all asleep. Move quickly to the vicinity of the scene.”

And then an hour or so had passed, and everyone in the two dormitory buildings had fallen asleep, and the surroundings had completely gone dark.

After that, some more time passed, and the spies of the covert unit quietly began to move around it.

Chirin~

With a slightly muddy bell sound, five men in black clothing hid like shadows in the men’s dormitory building.

The man in the lead looked at the object in his hand and said admiringly.

“This is indeed an ancient artifact. To pierce Gransen Academy’s security magic so easily.”

The bell the man is holding in his hand is an ancient magic tool, the ‘Welcome Bell’.

It was a terrifying magic tool that could easily dispel most barriers or protection magic.

Of course, it wouldn’t work on the highest level of barriers used by high-ranking magicians and priests, but the carelessness of what kind of fool would break into a student dormitory with just that many magic tools produced this result.

“This, you mean the church only got three? To give away two of these…”

“That’s why it’s such an important mission. Let’s go straight ahead.”

Five combatants quietly moved through the men’s dormitory.

Since I already know the location of the target’s room, I thought I’d deal with it quickly.

“Oh, what’s good about hiding in a place where dark men live…”

“I just need to deal with a sleeping student anyway, so is it necessary to go this far?”

At the words of his subordinates, the person who appeared to be the superior answered quietly.

“Be quiet, you might get angry if you’re so careless.”

“Ah…Yeah yeah.”

“……”

The superior sighed inwardly.

Actually, that’s what he thought too.

I didn’t know much about the mission because I didn’t hear the details, but it was strange that so many people were mobilized while taking on the mission of kidnapping only one student and eliminating one.

And even lending a very valuable artifact.

Of course I got that very thought out of my head.

They just have to carry out the mission they have been given, and there is no need to question it.

“Captain, we have arrived.”

“Yes.”

At some point, we arrived at the room where the target lives.

Chirin~

After using the artifact, unlock the mechanical lock with the tool in your hand.

I opened the door as quietly as I could, but there was a small squeaking sound as if the door was slightly worn.

Everyone held their breath and looked around, but there was no indication that the target sleeping on the bed had woken up.

Still holding his breath, the male boss signaled with a hand gesture.

Although it is a single room, it was spacious enough for three people to enter, probably because it was a room for a high-ranking nobleman.

Two people looked out, then three entered the room and approached the target.

A dark-haired boy snoring and falling asleep, apparently tired.

The superior nodded, and one of his men drew a sword.

Sereung

I raised my sword as quietly as possible and struck it at the boy’s neck.

That moment.

Quaang!!

With the sound of something exploding, the sword struck and the subordinate flew into the sky.

The superior and the other subordinate flung themselves backwards reflexively, but the subordinate, who flew and hit the wall, fainted as if his head was hit hard.

“…What, did the rat sneak in?”

A boy with black hair got up from his seat and was preparing for battle.

“Check target.”

One of the black-clad figures who infiltrated the women’s dormitory checked the sleeping girl in the room and said.

There are more than 10 people who have infiltrated this dormitory to kidnap that girl.

No matter how you think about it, the number is excessive, but they are only faithful to their mission.

But there was one order to the mission to kidnap that girl.

As much as possible, don’t let anyone know.

If caught, be sure to deal with the witness.

So they moved carefully.

“Smoke the sleeping incense.”

“Yes.”

A weak sleeping incense was lit in the room where the girl slept.

It bothers her if you wake her up in the middle of securing her.

After a while, they acted swiftly as they thought it was time for the girl to fall asleep.

“Secure. Enter quietly.”

“Yes.”

It was easy to make unnecessary noises if you went into the room too much.

So only the two people to carry the target entered the room quietly.

They quietly approached the bed and reached out to carry the sleeping girl.

It was a simple mission considering a large number of people were mobilized.

That was the moment.

“Shut up!”

“f*ck…Billion…!”

The two subordinates who went in to move the girl collapsed on the spot, screaming.

Seeing this, the rest of the personnel, feeling unimportant, went on alert.

At that time when we shared our eyes and focused on each other.

“Kuh!”

“Oops!”

Two people fell on the spot screaming.

Four people fell in an instant, and a commotion broke out among them.

And that commotion decided their fate.

“Oops!”

“Aagh!!”

One person, another person.

In the end, the leader figure drew his sword and shouted, probably deciding that it was unreasonable to deal with the situation quietly.

“Damn it! Show up!”

Of course, the opponent didn’t show up because he wasn’t an idiot who would reveal himself like that.

All they could tell was that the opponent was clearly stronger than they were.

They aren’t particularly skilled in combat, but a covert unit that specializes in covert action.

In the first place, their roots are a unit made by collecting dropouts from the church who did not have high skills as knights.

At most, it was made up of people with skills ranging from intermediate to low-level knights.

The leader shook his head eagerly on the spot.

The subordinates are dying, and to make matters worse, I can feel the presence of the female students who have woken up, perhaps because of the commotion.

‘If this continues, the answer won’t come… Then.’

And he opened his mouth and cried out.

“Everyone who survives must secure the target by any means! Push forward with numbers!”

Yes.

In any case, securing the target is the top priority.

“Kuh!”

“Oops!”

My men screaming and dying.

The leader also ran to secure the target.

“Ugh!”

Chang!!

The leader who was running out somehow moved his body in response to the feeble death that was being fired at him.

The moment he confirmed that he had been hit by his own weapon and fell to the ground, the leader’s eyes widened.

“Fork…?”

“You’re quite right.”

At the woman’s cold voice, the shocked leader’s eyes turned to that direction.

Then a bright light came into her dark room.

A brown-haired woman wearing a maid outfit was looking at her with her cold eyes.

“I hid my life as much as I could and threw it, but I didn’t expect you to block it.”

“Made…Made?”

“I did it just in case when I was under surveillance… I won’t forgive you as long as you’re aiming at the young lady.”

I wonder if this side was being watched?

Surprised to see the maid appearing in front of her, the leader was stunned once again.

It only took a few seconds for him to block the attack, roll a few times on the spot, stand up, and look at the maid.

However, in the meantime, the dozen or so subordinates I ordered to secure the target with a suicide special attack were all lying there dead.

Everybody, with a fork stuck in their throat.

“Pork…Pork?”

“No matter what, it was impossible with a cake knife.”

“It’s not that kind of problem…”

Due to lack of talent, he could not become a high-ranking knight and enter the knights’ order, but he went up to the intermediate level and was scouted by a secret unit.

The maid in front of you is definitely stronger than yourself.

“Well then…What do you want to do? You may surrender or you may fight.”

“……”

“Since I tried to harm the lady anyway… I have no intention of saving her.”

“My choice…Is this!”

The leader who draws his sword and rushes at the maid.

Maid, Phyllis easily blocked the leader’s sword.

…With a cake knife.

“Didn’t I say it was impossible with a cake knife?”

“Because it is possible to block even if the stabbing is unreasonable.”

“Damn it! Even if there was a fight, I thought it was in the men’s dormitory…”

Phyllis gives a rough answer to the leader’s dissatisfied muttering.

At that time, a voice came from the side.

“Ugh… My head hurts… What are you talking about?”

Riel fell asleep after inhaling the scent of sleep, but no matter how much it was, she couldn’t help waking up despite the uproar.

Riel came to her senses and looked around her brightened room, but she went white.

“This…What the hell…”

The moment Phyllis opened her mouth to say something, the leader shouted.

“Now!!”

At that time, a figure popped out from among the corpses of the men lying down.

A black shadow runs straight towards Riel.

“Oops…! Miss!!”

As the startled Phyllis tried to run to Riel, the leader put power on her sword.

“I can’t pass!”

“Get out of the way!!”

“Keah!!”

Phyllis hurriedly took out something with his other hand and stuck it into the leader’s neck.

Feeling great pain, I looked down at the leader and saw that it was lodged in his neck.

It was the same fork that the men had stuck in their necks.

The leader collapsed on the floor with a puzzled expression.

“What… What?!”

“Lady!!”

But whether the leader was dead or not, one of her surviving men rushed at Riel.

I wasn’t sure what they were trying to do to Riel, but Phyllis ran desperately.

However, the moment Phyllis despairs that it will be too late.

“Quaaagh!! Fire Shock!”

“Quaaa!!”

The subordinate was engulfed in flames and flew away.

Phyllis opened her eyes wide and she saw it.

“No…Surprise…”

There was Riel, with one hand outstretched and her other hand brushing her own chest.

“Phyllis…What the hell is going on?”

“My lady… Are you okay?”

“Uh…Huh? I was a bit surprised, but it’s okay…”

Phyllis also swept her own breasts.

“I’m sorry! I let the young lady go through something terrible because I was careless!”

“Huh…? Huh?”

A muffled voice could be heard from around Riel’s dorm room.

It seems that the other students who woke up came to find the cause of the commotion.

“I’ll explain later. I’ll take care of the aftermath, so take a break, young lady.”

“Uh…Yes. You must explain it later!”

Phyllis entrusted Riel to her dormitory students, who came to see her situation, and began disposing of her body.

‘But why did the assassin… By any chance, the young master predict this situation and bring me to the lady’s side…?’

And if you think about what the assassin said earlier, there was a high possibility that a similar situation would have occurred in the men’s dormitory.

For a moment Phyllis wondered if she should go there as well, but she soon gave up on that idea.

‘No… If you’re the young master, you’ll be able to predict this situation and deal with it calmly.’
