The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

76 – Will I be able to keep my sanity?

…Once I went after Mr. Eve who left the room and cleared up the misunderstanding, the story that Riel brought up to me was enough to surprise me. Did.

“I’m going to participate in that training, is it okay?”

“… Huh?”

A stupid sound came out of my mouth because I was dumbfounded.

Training in a cold forest for a week with room and board.

Furthermore, His Highness Aine’s training is very hard, so fatigue is no joke.

Riel, who is not physically trained, receives such training?

She honestly found it hard to agree.

But Riel’s determination and her eyes were sincere.

“Why…?”

“Then… The previous time I was attacked, Kyou was seriously injured while protecting me.”

“It’s not your fault, Riel!”

I tried to say that, but Riel did not break her will.

“No, Kyou was hit instead of me because I was careless and couldn’t avoid it.”

“It’s not like that!”

Even though she said that, she couldn’t honestly deny it in her heart.

Actually, it was the distance and time that I could hit instead of using magic, so if Riel tried to avoid her, she would have been able to avoid it.

Looking at Riel’s eyes, I looked at Mr. Eve, thinking that I couldn’t break her will even if I persuaded her.

If it’s Mr. Eve who cares for Riel very much, wouldn’t he convince her?

Thought so, I tried to entrust it to Mr. Eve.

“Riel, are you serious?”

“Yeah. I told you before, sister. I want to become stronger.”

Mr. Eve let out a deep sigh and gave up.

“…I’ll take care of the situation, but it’s still going to be very difficult.”

“Yeah, I’m not going to overdo it either.”

…Anyway, even Eve-san couldn’t break Riel’s will.

After Riel revealed that he would also participate in her training, she went to tell Her Highness Aine.

She happened to be in the guest room where she always stayed after talking with her father, Her Majesty Aine, so it didn’t take her long to find her.

And, easier than expected, Riel’s permission to participate in the training was granted.

However, Riel almost never received any training outside of her academy curriculum.

Therefore, under Her Highness Aine’s judgment that it would be difficult for her to fully commit to her training, she set up a separate schedule.

The one who was entrusted with Riel’s training was none other than Riel’s older sister. It was Mr. Eve.

It was the result of a combination of the judgment that Mr. Eve would know more about Riel, and the judgment that if Mr. Eve was very serious about her work, he would not treat her sister lightly.

Three days later, we headed to the snowy mountains within the county for training with Her Highness Aine’s men.

However, the members were added differently than usual.

She first has Riel, who said she would train herself as well.

And she was invited to participate in this training, and Iris-senpai followed along with her.

Mr. Riel came along to protect Riel and the seed of Riel’s world tree.

And what was most unexpected was the existence of this child.

“Is it really okay if I follow you?”

“Yeah, I told my family in advance… I’m worried about Riel.”

Emilia Silvrate said with a cheerful smile.

Emilia asked Riel to accompany her after hearing Riel’s words that she would open the mansion for her training for a week.

Of course, Emilia wasn’t going to be trained with her, so instead, she decided to provide support by helping the cooks make meals for the members or helping the medics.

With Her Highness Aine’s permission, Emilia, who followed him, even accompanied him to the snowy mountains.

And as her training began in earnest, Emilia played her part very well.

I didn’t know that, but he was very good at cooking, and he was quick-witted and behaved well, to the point where his popularity among the members increased.

And then turn the point to the present.

By the time I arrived at the campsite after finishing the jumping training, Riel had already left with Eve for another training session.

“Kyou-san, welcome.”

“Miss Emilia, did anything go wrong at the camp?”

“Yes, because Rilou-san was also with us.”

Following Emilia’s gaze, Mr. Leelu was taking a break while drinking warm cocoa from a glass.

Mr. Leelu was in charge of guarding the camp where the non-combatants remained while the members were being trained.

“Lilu-san, like an elf, the time it takes to patrol in the forest is very short.”

“Okay, I should say hello too.”

As I approached Mr. Lilu, she turned her gaze to me.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Leelu.”

“Yeah, but it’s nothing to say.”

Mr. Leelu speaks leisurely as if nothing is wrong.

“How was the patrol?”

“Hmm? It really wasn’t much. Mountain beasts and a few weak monsters. It wasn’t much worse than the royal road.”

“…The royal road?”

Come to think of it, after arriving at the capital for the first time, Rilu-san didn’t show up for several days.

I thought it was because I was busy looking for a place to settle down, but what happened?

“What happened in the capital?”

“Yes, there were a lot of fairies.”

“Huh?!”

This was a story I had never heard of before.

Well, since fairies are invisible to ordinary people, it can’t be helped.

“As long as they knew they were the saint’s limbs, they shot and killed the ones they could see.”

“…That’s why I couldn’t see you after arriving at the capital.”

“Yes, some of them ran away, but it took a while.”

After finishing the cocoa, Mr. Leelu set his cup down on the table.

“In comparison, there are no fairies in this area at all.”

“Isn’t that usually the case?”

“No, it’s surprisingly hard to see fairies without them at all. It’s normal to have one or two in any corner of the countryside.”

Is that so?

Well, since the existence of a fairy itself is hard to see, is it a story that only I can understand?

“At first I thought it was the work of the elves living here, but when I asked, they said it had disappeared before I knew it.”

“That’s… Another strange story.”

“Isn’t it? But I don’t know why either.”

Mr. Leelu, who had a hard expression on his face for a moment, raised his head.

“Well, if I don’t have them, what would I do after worrying about whether it’s better?”

“I see.”

“The knights are back, and I need to get some sleep. I’m not used to the cold.”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

Mr. Leelu entered the barracks, and after training, the members began to gather under the camp tent.

Now it’s just taking a short break while waiting for mealtime.

As I waited and sat in a suitable place, Mr. Eve and Riel also returned to the campsite.

“Oh, everyone is back.”

“Whoa… I’m back.”

Compared to Mr. Eve, who didn’t feel tired at all, Riel’s face was slightly tired.

She probably said that she is trained in martial arts by Mr. Eve.

According to Mr. Eve, she said that Riel’s physical aptitude is not bad.

“Good work, Riel.”

“Yes.”

Saying that, Riel sat down in the empty seat next to me.

“How was Eve’s training?”

“Yes, first of all, I focused on avoiding attacks.”

Well, if it’s Riel, she’s right.

If it’s Riel, who can shoot magic with a huge amount of mana, it would be more helpful to learn combat skills based on evasion rather than attack.

“Are you feeling well?”

“Yeah. It was about throwing a thrown ball, so it wasn’t much except for her body being tired.”

“Yes, I’m glad.”

When she said that Riel would accompany her to the training she received in this snowy mountain, she was a bit worried, but at this point, she doesn’t seem to have much to worry about.

“Ugh~”

“Huh? Hey, Mr. Riel?”

She was brought back to her senses thanks to Riel who suddenly clung to her and buried her face in her arms.

“Riel? I’m sweating a lot right now…”

“Yeah, it’s okay. It’s not bad.”

“No, that can’t be…”

“…Not bad.”

…No matter how hard it is, it’s embarrassing to show your face like that in a crowded place.

It was fortunate that most of the knights were not interested in this side.

Still, it’s a bit embarrassing to even sniff like that.

After eating a calorie-rich meal served by Emilia and her cooks, she started training in the afternoon.

Starting with simple basic training, swordsmanship, magic, and sparring.

And after dinner, we started training again.

This type of training is performed in parallel with a short break.

I do this kind of training all week long.

Riel said Eve had a different one-on-one schedule, but her expression was full of fatigue every time she returned.

One day I was so exhausted from a huge amount of evening training that I fell asleep without seeing Riel come back.

I was very worried about Riel, but her fatigue wouldn’t let me go, so she fell asleep.

And the next morning.

“?!??”

When I saw Riel in her sleeping bag, I almost passed out with a silent scream.

I slept in this little sleeping bag like this, but I didn’t wake up.

…No, it should be gone sooner than that.

Since the sleeping bag isn’t that big, they’re extremely close when the two of them are inside.

It’s very difficult because the lower part of the body is trying to react right now.

When you are struggling to somehow get yourself out of the sleeping bag.

“Are you awake?”

“?!”

I heard Riel’s voice in my ears.

“Uh…Yeah. But Riel… What kind of situation is this…”

“Yeah, yesterday I couldn’t supply kyo, so I tried to hold him for a while, but he was so comfortable that he fell asleep.”

“…What?”

“Hee hee.”

Saying that, Riel slipped out of her sleeping bag.

…Thank God.

If it was just a little bit late, the lower part of the body would react so strongly that the atmosphere would have become awkward.

“Then I’ll go out and wash up first! Come out slowly!”

“Uh…Yes. Yes.”

What should I do?

It’s nice that Riel has brightened up a lot, but she’s more than bright… Uhm…

I’m already worried if I can keep my reason.
