The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

69 – Summer vacation begins.

The academy starts summer vacation tomorrow.

Due to the anticipation for the month-long summer vacation, the academy students’ faces were bright and the atmosphere was exhilarating despite the sweltering weather.

However, unlike the bright and cheerful atmosphere of the students, the professors did not.

“Everyone, from tomorrow the academy will be on summer vacation.”

Professor Leonora’s face was full of tension.

“For all of you who have worked hard up until now, the assignments have been kept to a minimum… But please don’t just make an accident…!”

There was a reason why Professor Leonora said that.

Grancen Academy is a large-scale academy that attracts students from abroad to study.

As such an academy, the number of students is very large.

And it is during the vacation season that such students get out of the academy’s control for a period of one month.

And why… Isn’t there such a thing?

There is a saying that when five people gather, one of them has something.

As if to prove that, when it’s only vacation, there are students who get into trouble four or five times in each class.

And it was always the professors in charge to solve the problem.

“Of course I don’t think you’re going to cause any trouble…! However, things have happened recently…”

…Well.

Only one semester had passed, and two students in one class had quit.

Although it’s an open secret, one of them even got exiled for trying to attack a noble.

Is that all, just a while ago, I got seriously injured and couldn’t come to the academy, so it’s only natural that Professor Leonora would be worried.

“So please! Please have a calm and peaceful vacation!!”

Professor Leonora ends the closing ceremony with a desperate expression on her face.

When she said that, she couldn’t have been mistaken when she turned her gaze to me.

After the end of the closing ceremony, the professor left, and the students gathered and began to chat as they prepared to return home.

Most of them are about what to do during vacation.

“What are you going to do during vacation?”

“Hmm…Wouldn’t you just help with the housework?”

In that case, I spend my vacation quite calmly.

This is a vacation style that professors really like.

“Whoops, my father has prepared a villa in the Principality of Celestan!”

“Oh my! The beautiful beaches of the Principality of Selestan! I’m envious!”

Even in such a case, the probability of a major accident is small.

“Hey Boris, have you thought about what we talked about a while ago?”

“You mean the nice shop in the entertainment district of Countess Flanaille?”

…A case like that definitely causes a big problem.

More than that, you’re still a student, so don’t go to places like that.

“How will Ms. Likenair spend her vacation?”

“It’s training! The monsters living in the north are so strong, so I’m really looking forward to it!”

In such a case, if you do something wrong, you will get seriously injured, and the professor in charge will be in trouble…

…Huh?

Like Nair…Northern?

“Senior?”

“Hi guys!”

In front of the door, there was Iris-senpai smiling cheerfully waving her hand.

“Hey, senpai… Training in the north…”

“Oh, I’m supposed to train in the North this vacation.”

Senior Iris smiles as she says that.

I only have bad memories of northern training.

I was always taken by His Highness Aine to accompany the knights in their training…

“Is Iris-senpai coming to the North too?”

Riel happily asks about Iris-senpai, whom she has become friends with, that she is coming to the North.

Then Iris-senpai smiled mischievously.

“Yes, I’ve already sent all my luggage over there, so it’s a situation where I just need to go.”

“Fa…You’re fast.”

The action is so fast.

But when she heard the words that followed, she couldn’t help but understand why she was so quick.

“hahahaha, I can only thank Your Highness.”

“…Your Highness?”

“Yes. Not too long ago, I received a call from Her Highness, Princess Aine. Do you have plans to train together in the north during this summer vacation?”

“……”

Yes. When she met Her Highness Aine in the Duchy of Ignis, she had talked about senior Iris.

But she’s been around for less than a month since then, and she’s already taken her hand.

If it was your highness, would it be your highness…

“To receive a proposal directly from Her Highness, Princess Aine… Is a very honorable thing.”

“…I guess so.”

It’s not that you don’t know your heart.

Her Highness Princess Aine stands at the forefront among young swordsmen in the kingdom thanks to her tremendous swordsmanship and her many achievements.

Especially to female prosecutors, she is almost at the level of admiration, both at home and abroad.

Of course, this also applies to senior Iris.

“So please take good care of me during this vacation.”

“…Yes?”

“Hmm? Didn’t you hear? I was supposed to take care of Count Wentos during this vacation.”

…

I didn’t hear that.

Like Iris-senpai, the academy usually sends large luggage home in advance, so I only had to pack the bare minimum.

This period can be said to be the most important time for merchants who mainly do delivery in the capital city, and numerous logistics are expanding domestically and internationally.

And it is not just logistics that travels domestically and internationally, but also people.

“There are so many people at the station…”

“It might be natural since all the students in the academy flocked to it in one day.”

Most of the customers at the station today are academy students, and those who can be called their subordinates.

Maybe that’s why most of them are full of people wearing academy uniforms, maid uniforms, or butler uniforms.

In the middle, you can see knights patrolling to protect the students.

To go to Count Wentos, you had to go to Little Lake, the Marquis of Brune, just like before.

The ones who gathered to go to Little Lake were me and Riel, our two exclusive attendants Luca and Phyllis, the usual members.

In addition to that, the composition consists of Emilia, whose hometown is the county of Wentos, and senior Iris, who was invited by Her Highness Aine.

And at this station, another one was supposed to join.

I wondered how long I had been waiting, and finally another person appeared.

“Sorry, I waited.”

A woman appeared wearing a hooded cloak.

Her blonde hair and blue eyes, visible through her hood, were slightly tired.

“I was caught by a knight in the middle, well…I don’t know if he looked suspicious because he was wearing something like this.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I showed the princess what I got from her and she let me go right away.”

Mr. Lilu, the woman in the hood, showed a brooch bearing the royal seal.

When Mr. Leelu decided to go to the royal capital, she was given to Her Highness Aine to use when she was in trouble.

“Hey… Who is this?”

When Mr. Leelu, who was blatantly suspicious, appeared, Emilia asked her warily.

Senior Iris was also looking at Mr. Leelu with her curious eyes.

“Hey…He’s my brother’s friend. We decided to go to the county together this time.”

“Huh? I’m not really that boy’s friend…”

Mr. Rilu said something, but Riel slightly noticed her and was able to get over it.

After hearing Riel’s explanation, Emilia let her guard down slightly, but Iris-senpai was still looking at Rilu-san with interest.

“My name is Lilu. Are you… A Nlang tribe?”

“Yes?!”

“Hmm? What is the Silver Lang?”

Emilia was hiding her ears by putting on her hat, but Leelu-san noticed her at once.

However, maybe because she still had people around, Emilia looked extremely flustered.

I was surprised too, so when I looked around, no one had heard that, and Iris-senpai didn’t seem to know much about the Eunrang tribe.

Riel was also surprised and ran to Mr. Leelu and whispered something in her ear.

After a while, Mr. Leelu returned and apologized with a very apologetic expression.

“Sorry, I didn’t know you were hiding it.”

“Oh…No…”

“???”

Senior Iris still doesn’t seem to know how things are going.

… However, Iris-senpai and Emilia seem to be together a lot in the future, so someday Emilia herself might have to reveal her true identity.

Maybe it will be fine.

Iris-senpai herself wasn’t the type to care about such things, and although she gradually drifted away from her, she was one of those people who didn’t change her attitude even after knowing that Emilia was a beastman, even in the original work.

So, one day, Emilia herself should wait for her identity to be revealed to those around her.

“I see, Emilia was a prisoner.”

Yes. But I didn’t know that I would come out so quickly.

A few minutes ago, Mr. Leelu took off his hood in the train car, which was set up as a guest room like a special class seat.

Of course, the two people who saw the elf for the first time were a little surprised, but they quickly adapted to it and after that, they didn’t care.

Certainly, elves are rare in the kingdom, but in the neighboring country, the empire, you can see elves wandering the streets just by going to the capital.

So when Riel and I first met Mr. Leelu in the Duchy of Ignis, we were a little surprised, but we got used to it right away.

“Sah…Actually, I’m a prisoner!”

But seeing Leelu like that, she must have made up her mind. Emilia took off her hat in front of everyone and revealed her true identity.

Of course, the only ones who didn’t know Emilia’s identity here were Luka and Iris-senpai, Riel’s exclusive attendants, but Luka was waiting outside the room, so she actually confessed her identity to one of Iris-seniors.

Even so, revealing her true identity in this world where she gets glares just because she is a beastman must have been an act of determination.

And as expected, Iris-senpai opened her eyes wide for a moment, and although she was surprised, she quickly agreed.

Riel and Emilia both let out a sigh of relief, and Rilu-san nodded and said.

“Hmm… You’re from the Silver Lang tribe, right?”

“Yes, yes… How did Mr. Lilu know that I am a Nlang tribe?”

“It’s nothing special. My teacher was a Nlang tribe. So I know about the Nlang tribe.”

Mr. Leelu said that while making a sentimental face.

While treating his wounds in the Duchy of Ignis, Mr. Leelu once talked about his teacher.

He had heard that he was the person who taught Mr. Lilu how to fight, but he was a prisoner and it was the first time he knew that he was from the Lang tribe.

“I thought that Lilu felt very strong, so it seems that she had a great teacher.”

Iris-senpai said that and her eyes twinkled.

Ah, yes, I wanted to look at Leelu with interest from earlier, so that’s the reason.

“Yeah, the teacher was a very strong person, but the problem was that his face was funny.”

“Yes? The face?”

“…Umm, forget about it.”

Because he is a beastman with strong martial arts and a funny face.

I was strangely interested.

Upon arriving at the Earl of Wentos, she looked at Iris-senpai, who asked Mr. Leelu to fight with her, and suddenly turned her gaze to the side.

Riel was dozing while bathing in the sunlight coming through the window.

“…Riel?”

“……”

She called out slightly, but Riel just nodded her head and fell asleep.

Watching her bobbing hair, he slipped her hand out and pulled her hair gently.

Her head rested on her shoulder, and there was no more bobbing of her head.

I felt that Riel’s face had softened slightly.

“…Whoops.”

“?”

When I turned around at the sound of laughter, Emilia was smiling at me.

“…Why?”

“No, I heard from Riel that we decided to go out together… But she thought it went well because she confirmed it with her own eyes.”

“Hmm…”

She got a little embarrassed and turned her head out the window.
