The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

54 – Journey of those who knew the truth.

Alicia, who rescued two dukes, successfully escaped the forest of the World Tree and stayed in a city.

Fortunately, there were no more pursuers, including fairies, but because she moved without neglecting her vigilance, there was still a little distance to her destination, the Kingdom.

“I’m back. …I don’t think there’s a pursuer.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

A figure wearing a hooded robe entered the inn where they were staying.

“Whoa… It’s stuffy.”

The hooded figure had long platinum hair, blue eyes and long ears.

That figure is none other than an elf.

“I’m sorry. I got you involved, Mr. Leelu.”

“No, it’s okay. I’ve guided you anyway, so the inherited mission is over… And…”

I met Lilu, an elf at the entrance to the World Tree Forest.

She was currently accompanying Alicia.

It was when Alicia was trying to escape with two members of the duchy.

The elf Lilu has been living alone in this forest for over ten years.

When did the elves stop going to see the World Tree?

She was visited by fairies and she told the World Tree that she no longer wanted to meet elves and that she was disappointed with elves.

For the elves who have lived protecting the world tree for a long time, it was like a thunderstorm.

I wanted to see the World Tree right away to confirm my sincerity, but the door, which always sent elves to the World Tree, rejected the elves.

At that time, the elves fell into despair that they had been abandoned by the World Tree.

In the end, the elves who lived in the forest left the forest as if they were running away from despair and set out on a journey to find a new home.

Only Lilu, who inherited from her mother the task of guiding the guide who would come someday in this forest, remained in the forest and lived alone.

But with this, she also finished her mission.

Where and what are your people living now?

Should I leave to find a new life now?

Lilu took out the bow she was carrying on her back and pulled her string lightly.

Among her peers, she is famous for her best archery skills.

Wouldn’t she be able to earn a living by going outside?

It was when she was thinking about that.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed again in front of her eyes, and Alicia, who had gone through the door earlier, jumped out.

“Huh? You came back sooner than expected? World Tree-nim…”

“Mr. Lee… Lilu?! Get down!!”

Alicia fell on the spot as she jumped out.

Her startled Lilu leaned over her to see what happened to her Alicia and tried to look at her.

That moment.

aaa!!

“… Huh?”

With another flash of light, the monster jumped out and passed right over Lilu’s head.

A monster? Why is the monster at the gate leading to the forest of the World Tree?

Lilu couldn’t understand this situation at all.

However, Leelu’s archery skill, which he had learned over a long period of time, moved his body.

I put an arrow on the string of the bow that Lilu was holding at a distance from the monster and shot it at the monster.

Puck!!

An arrow pierced the monster’s head with a loud sound, and the monster that had been pierced through the head died instantly and fell face down.

“Alicia? What happened?”

But Lilu’s head still couldn’t accept the situation.

So I wanted to ask Alicia, who was taking care of her body, to explain the situation.

“Not yet! More to come!”

“!!”

At Alicia’s cry, Lilu reflexively pointed her hand back to the quiver.

And after a while, monsters came out of the door along with the light.

“What is this… Huh?”

An elf who worked as a guardian of the World Tree.

In the eyes of Lilu, a member of that elf, the beings hiding among the monsters caught her eye.

“…Fairies? Why do fairies…”

When Lilu said a word like that, her fairies also noticed her and started talking.

「It’s an elf!」

「Are there elves left?」

「What should I do? What should I do?」

Still the chatter of the fairies.

Lilu drew her bow toward the monster with a poop-chewed expression.

“What are you guys doing? Why are you dragging monsters out of the forest of the World Tree?”

The Forest of the World Tree is a sacred place for elves, even if it is no longer accessible.

To see a dirty being in a place like that, running around with demons.

That is also a fairy who is the messenger of the World Tree.

Based on her answer, Lilu was willing to let go of her protest without mercy.

「What should I do in a situation like this?」

「I don’t know! I don’t know!”

「Let’s kill! Let’s kill!!」

Lilu narrowed her eyes sharply at the chatter of the fairies.

“Is that your answer?”

As Lilu let go of her string, her arrow shot swiftly.

「Kyaaah!!」

The fairy who was hit by the arrow screamed and disappeared in a halo of light.

「What! What!”

「We’re hiding! How!!”

「What should I do? Oh my god!!”

A disconcerted voice from the fairies.

At that voice, Lilu clicked her tongue.

“Well, fairies have a short lifespan, so I guess no one knows them anymore.”

Lilu pulls the string again and releases the arrow.

「Kyaaa!!」

“Elves can see fairies.”

The massacre began, with Alicia crushing monsters and Lilu shooting fairies.

That’s how Leelu came to accompany Alicia.

“…After hearing the truth from you, I also felt that I had to do something about it.”

The truth about the World Tree that Lilu heard from Alicia while running through the forest after the battle.

Tears welled up in Lilu’s eyes when she heard that story.

The World Tree did not abandon the elves.

After he was abandoned by the World Tree, he lived helplessly, thinking only of the mission he had been entrusted with.

However, the despair of being abandoned by the world tree lay in the corner of my heart.

It felt like it was being released and disappearing.

“…I was shocked that Velia did that.”

“Is Rilou dating St. Velia?”

“Yeah… When I was younger, I met with other party members.”

Beast warrior Leos.

Witch Chainy.

Fighter Olivia.

Knight Kalidos.

Saint Velia.

These are the great men who completely annihilated the demon king 400 years ago.

At the moment, the elf in front of me asked, ‘How old are you?’ Alicia, who almost asked, held back the desire.

“But… To be honest, I thought more pursuers would come after that, but I’m surprised…?”

“Hmm… I thought so too, so I raised my guard… Or is it a ploy to catch my guard?”

Actually, there was no way they knew that Saint Velia was desperately trying to appease the fairies, who were frightened by Alicia’s majesty once and then hunted by Lilu, and the frightened fairies were whining not to pursue them.

“Everyone.”

Andrew returned from visiting his mother.

“Prince Andrew, has your wife not woken up yet?”

“Yes. The congressman said it would take some time as he was very weak.”

To Alicia’s question, Andrew Ignis answered with a dark expression.

Andrew’s mother, Duchess Rachel Ignis, has never regained her consciousness since her rescue. She

She said that although her life was fortunately not in danger, she was in a state of shock that she was confined for a long time and did not regain consciousness.

“Hmm… I need to find a wagon that can transport patients.”

“Have you decided on a destination?”

Alicia answered Leelu’s question.

“Yes. As long as your wife doesn’t regain consciousness, it’s going to be difficult to go to the royal capital.”

Alicia pulled out a folded piece of paper from her pocket and she opened it and read it.

“I hear that Her Highness, Princess Aine, is staying in Brimton… Let’s head to Brimton.”

At that, Andrew’s expression brightened slightly.

Brimton, the kingdom of Ignis.

Because it was the hometown where Andrew Ignis lived.

Luca Altran was rescued from Ignis Mansion, which had gone mad.

After being subjected to various interrogations for several days, Luka’s weakened body was healed, and he was able to walk around in good health again.

To Luca, Princess Aine, who was acting as Brimton on behalf of the Duke of Ignis’ family, paid her compensation and gave her a choice.

Should I go back to my hometown or stay here as it is?

I wanted to leave this hellish place and return to my hometown.

But even if she went back, she couldn’t even try something new in her poor hometown with this reward money.

That’s why she’s a man, even if she stayed in a place where there were almost no people, there was little she could do herself.

At most, taking care of patients again or assisting the knights?

At that time, a man with dark red hair who seemed to be an aide of Her Highness Princess Aine tipped off something to Her Highness.

Hearing that, Her Highness Aine made a proposal to Luka.

“Lady Riel’s exclusive attendant, who is currently studying in the capital, has quit her job. Would you like to take over?”

“Yes?! Lady Riel’s exclusive?”

Miss Riel Ignis.

When she started working, she only saw one from a distance.

What he saw then, her dry eyes and hard expression, without emotion, came to Luca’s mind.

“Of course, with your skills, the exclusive job might be too much…”

While saying her words, Princess Aine recalled the face of a maid with her own master by her side.

Phyllis Barnoa.

A talented person who can be said to be top-notch in both lyrics and other skills.

Once she saw her skills and she was greedy or tried to scout, but…

‘Because I’m already loyal to the Count’s family.’

It was rejected because of her words.

First of all, I laughed at the way the princess rejected her own offer.

If there was such a girl, wouldn’t she take care of educating her even if she was a bit clumsy?

Thought such a thought, Princess Aine stared at Luca.

“Well… What is lacking is to be filled.”

“Then…Then…Let it happen!! Please!!”

The dark face of Miss Riel.

That bothered Luka a little.

… She had a bit of selfishness about going to the capital.

A few days after that, Luca boarded a train heading to the capital.

“Ah! Here it is! That must be the train!”

I was standing at the platform of the Central Station of the Royal Capital with Riel and Phyllis accompanying me.

It was because Riel asked me to accompany him, saying that an exclusive attendant was coming to serve him.

And, Phyllis asked to accompany her, saying she wanted to see what kind of person the new attendant would serve Riel, so I accepted.

And just then, a large train stopped at the station with a loud noise.

It must have been equipped with an engine powered by mana. That train.

However, the size of the engine was very large and it was difficult to miniaturize, so there was no such thing as a car.

No, miniaturization itself was possible, but the power obtained was very small.

I’d rather go faster than riding a wagon.

“Kyou, I think it’s that girl?”

I was delusional about driving a car because I had a car, but Riel’s words brought her to my senses and looked in the direction she pointed.

Rather than blonde… Maybe honey-colored hair with a slight yellow tinge?

The girl with her hair pulled down in two ponytails, dressed in a maid’s uniform, was carrying her luggage and looking around her busily.

I wonder if she’s a bit younger than Riel, it seems like it’s the first time on the royal road to look around here and there mysteriously.

I understand.

When I was young, I felt the same way when I first came to the capital to attend a party hosted by the palace.

“Here~!!”

Perhaps she heard Riel’s cry, the girl stopped looking around and looked at us.

The girl with her eyes wide open hurriedly ran over and bowed her head.

“Sorry…Sorry!! It’s my first time on the royal road…!!”

“Yes. Yes. I can. I did too.”

I wonder if everyone is like that when they first come to the capital.

“Lu…I’m Luca Altran! As of today, I’m serving Miss Riel!”

“Yes. Please take good care of me.”

Riel extends her hand to Luca with a bright smile.

Luca looked at the hand for a moment with a bewildered expression, then hesitantly accepted the handshake.

I wondered if it would be okay if my movements were a little sluggish.

“…You’re an immature child.”

I heard Phyllis’s voice from behind.

“Does it look like Phyllis?”

“Yes. She seems to be a child with a shallow career yet.”

Phyllis sounded slightly disgruntled.

After a while, Phyllis opened her mouth.

“I can’t do it. I’ll take care of the training.”

“Phyllis? Are you okay?”

“Yes. I will teach you everything from cooking to escort.”

Well, given Phyllis’ ability, she must be good at teaching.

…Wait. Escort?

You don’t think you’re going to try to teach that delicate kid the way the Wentos family does, right?

“…Phyllis, please be gentle.”

“Don’t worry. I will raise you to be a great maid who does more than one job.”

…Phyllis, you understand me, right?
