The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

87 – As Guardian of the World Tree

A long holiday, Riel Ignis had a meeting with friends after a long time.

Emilia Silbrate, her best friend, and Arya Owen and Ferris Valtreia, who have been her friends since first grade.

It has been quite a while since these people who have been together for over a year have gathered in one place.

They are currently seniors, and that is their second semester.

Even as I went up to upperclassmen, my majors were slightly different, and the curriculum of education was different, so it was difficult to study together.

“Oh, that’s too hard.”

Muttered Arya Owen as she put her head on her table in her restaurant.

Going into her senior year, Arya, who had set her own course firmly, moved up to her commerce department.

She wanted to help her father, a merchant, so she hoped to major in commerce, but she was struggling with the more difficult education process than she thought.

“Come to think of it, Miss Riel, aren’t you with Sir today?”

Ferris Valtreia looked at Riel with her questioning expression.

A girl with red hair much longer than her freshman year, she wasn’t with the little one she always took with her.

“Yes. Mr. Leelu is taking care of it now.”

The little baby, Sir, has followed Riel very much since she was born.

Even with such a baby, as the year passed, she was able to spend some time away from Riel.

Well, it’s just a certain amount, so if you don’t see it for too long, you get really angry.

“Ugh, I tried to heal myself while watching it for the first time in a while~”

Aria muttered with a sad expression.

Ferris rubbed her friend Arya’s shoulder with her wry smile.

“There are a lot of theory classes in the Commerce Department, so it must be mentally exhausting.”

The gray-haired girl said after seeing Aria making a pleasant sound at Ferris’s touch while lying face down.

Emilia Silbrate, a girl with gray hair, went up to the Magic Department with her best friend Riel.

In the 2nd Year Magic Department, Riel and Emilia had very good grades and were ranked at the top of their grades.

If she picks the biggest difference between her and her a year ago, it is that she no longer wears a hat. She

She was the one with her wolf ears proudly bared, but she didn’t react much, except for the occasional few people staring at her out of the corner of her eye.

It has been one year since the kingdom has banned number discrimination and the church has withdrawn from the kingdom.

Among the members of the World Tree Church, those with strong stances still discriminated against prisoners, but as a year passed, the current of discrimination against prisoners tended to decrease.

She jumped on the bandwagon. After Emilia mustered up her courage and came out to her friends that she was a beast, Emilia proudly showed off her ears and tail.

“Haa… Maybe she chose her major too hastily. How about Ferris?”

“Me? What am I… Martial arts always the same.”

Ferris panics when her target is moved to herself.

She was also getting excellent grades in the martial arts department, but she couldn’t even compare to the strongest people in the top ranks.

If she is doing particularly well in her martial arts department… The person in charge is sitting right in front of her.

“Rather than that, is Riel okay?”

Riel raised her head at Ferris’s words.

“Huh? What?”

“No, I’m talking about Kyou-san. A girl in my junior class follows me around a lot.”

Ferris thought of Riel, her fiancé, the friend in front of her eyes.

From nob le mt l dot com

Kyou Wentos.

The heir to a family called the Counts of Wentos, who is a high-ranking aristocrat and possesses tremendous wealth and power.

His face isn’t too bad, and he’s currently the top student in the martial arts department.

Unsurprisingly, even among women, he was a popular figure for worldly reasons, but few female students approached him.

Because he already had a fiancée with unbridled power who was the second daughter of the duke of the kingdom.

Ferris, her fiancée’s friend, hardly ever has long conversations, but the other girls are very upset.

However, after he came up as a senior, he had a junior who often followed him.

Gransen Academy freshman, Chloe Eleira.

She is a female junior who visibly follows Kyo Wen Tos.

Well, even if you follow it, the end result is swordsmanship sparring, but even so, isn’t it a bit like following up with a man who has a fiancé so friendly…?

She thought so and told Riel, but Riel replied casually.

“Are you talking about Miss Chloe?”

“Huh? Did you know?”

“Yeah. Kyou told me. I’ve already met him.”

Yeah, I thought that she might have already told me about her because of her character in her Kyouwentos.

She did not know that she had met her in person.

So you know that Chloe Eleira has a fiancée, and she even met her in person?

No, I wonder if Riel is better than that.

“Is Griel really okay?”

“What?”

On the contrary, Riel’s seemingly casual attitude made Ferris even more flustered.

“No, that… Chloe’s socks. I wonder if they’re following too closely…”

“Ah”

Riel nodded her head in understanding.

“Well, it’s okay. Talking about it myself, it didn’t seem like I had any other thoughts.”

“That… Is it?”

“Yes. And I believe in Kyou.”

Seeing Riel say that, Ferris couldn’t say anything.

Well, I don’t think Kyo Wentos would actually leave Riel alone and have an affair with another woman.

And looking at it from a third person’s point of view, it doesn’t even seem like Chloe Eleira is tailgating Kyou Wentos.

…Yeah, well, that’s fine.

Ferris decided to think so.

“Hmm?”

A different voice came from the four people who were talking like that.

Riel, who happened to be sitting opposite the owner of the voice, said her name.

“Karlena? And her sister Vaniela?”

“Ah, senior Riel.”

Sisters Carlena Grace and Vaniela Grace stood in their seats.

Riel, who is acquainted with the girls, greeted them normally, but the other three were embarrassed and greeted politely.

No matter how deep the status inside the academy is, they didn’t feel uncomfortable with each other unless they were close friends.

“It’s been a while. Riel. It’s almost the first time you’ve gone up to upperclassman, right?”

“I went to the Magic Department, and Carlena went to the Politics Department… We hardly ever met, right?”

The two greeted each other warmly.

“Did you come to eat with your sisters today?”

“Yeah, something like that. She said there was something Vaniella wanted to discuss.”

“Huh…”

Riel was a little curious about what Vaniela wanted to discuss.

But from the look on Vaniela’s expression, she thought it was a very delegated problem, so she immediately dismissed it.

“Well, I also want to spend time with the sisters at the same time. It’s a long-awaited day off, right?”

“Okay, then I’m sorry to hold on to you any longer.”

“No, it was nice to talk to you after a long time. Then.”

Saying that, Carlena leaves, and Vaniela bows her head and follows her sister.

After they left, Arya let out a deep breath.

“Whoa, I was nervous. As expected, the atmosphere is different when you become a duke’s daughter.”

“Huh? I’m a duke’s daughter…?”

Riel muttered blankly at Arya’s words.

I don’t think I look very much like a duke’s daughter…? Do.

After lightly training with Chloe, I returned to the dormitory, and I was half-lying on the bed resting after taking a shower.

All training ended with my victory.

‘Senior~ Isn’t that too strong? What kind of practice will make that happen?’

This is a question asked by Chloe, who was defeated in Dalian and was in tears.

Well, to be honest, it’s a bit uncomfortable to say that it was achieved with 100 percent training and effort.

After Alan left the academy, what Riel and I did at the academy from the second semester was nothing other than exploring the secret room.

From the secret rooms that appeared in the original work to the secret rooms that did not appear in the original work.

There were also various books and magic tools in that place.

However, some of the secret rooms from the original work had traces of being visited by someone.

Well, without anyone thinking about it, it must be Alan.

Among them, the precious ‘Broch of Life’ among the magic tools that appeared in the original work was no longer there.

Perhaps Alan took it first.

However, there were still many magic tools that Alan had not touched, and most of the secret rooms that did not appear in the original work were preserved as they were.

Among them, the biggest gain for me was the underground training center located under the training center in terms of location.

A secret room with no magic tools or books, just one room.

However, in the room, whether it was martial arts training or magic training, there were countless facilities optimized for training.

Looking at the writing on the wall of the room, it says that it was a training ground used by a mercenary group hundreds of years ago…Well, it’s fine now.

Still, I was uneasy because the room was so old, but Mr. Leelu looked around the room and smiled, saying that there was nothing wrong with it.

So what… I use that room when I practice.

It is a facility that requires the effort of the person because it only functions to help with training, but this room, which maximizes the efficiency of training, was a very good place.

To the point where I wondered what kind of mercenary group the mercenary group was supposed to have created and used this room.

Well, anyway, it stings me a bit, but I haven’t been able to tell Chloe about this room yet.

She knew that she had no other mind, but she thinks it’s too much that she doesn’t trust her yet.

I was lying in my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door.

“Boss, sir and lilu are here.”

With Phyllis’s voice, the door opened and Mr. Leelu entered.

In her arms was a little girl with her green hair neatly tied back.

As the year passed, Shir, who had grown slightly, saw me in Lilu’s arms, and she reached out her hand this way.

“Baa, baa…”

“Oh, yes. Nice…”

I took the Cyril that Mr. Leelu offered me and embraced it.

Feeling the weight slightly heavier than a year ago, he looked at Sir’s face.

It’s only been a year, but it’s a face that clearly resembles Riel’s.

…Isn’t this really why you’re being suspected of being Riel’s daughter?

No, she fits something like a daughter, and I plan to officially add her to the family register after getting married.

“Bah!”

“Ouch! Sir, I’m not pulling her hair.”

“Hmm?”

Sir grabs a handful of my hair and pulls it while laughing.

Just like when he was a full baby, his grip is very strong.

At this rate, all of my hair fell out, and I was worried that I might go bald when I grew up.

“Whew, thank you for following me well, but I need to get rid of the habit of pulling on everything…”

“Uhhh…”

As I lifted my head up to keep my hair from being pulled, Cyr put on a slightly sullen expression.

I thought that expression slightly relaxed, but I fell asleep right away.

“Phew, Mr. Leelu, are you okay…?”

After confirming that Sir was asleep, she looked at Mr. Lilu.

…I don’t think it’s okay to see that my blonde hair, which I always keep in order, is sticking out here and there.

“No problem.”

However, Mr. Leelu calmly answered that without changing his expression.

…The Guardian of the World Tree. Loyalty is really awesome.

“Rather than that, I came because I have something I want to tell you.”

“Yes?”

“I think I’m going to leave the capital for a while.”

I looked at her at the words of her that Mr. Leelu uttered.

Seeing as he had always been a person who never left his side, it was a bit surprising.

“It doesn’t matter to us, but what happened?”

“This magic tool you found earlier…”

While saying that, Mr. Leelu took out a pendant with a small magic stone embedded in it.

No, it should be said that it was a magic stone. The magic stone already embedded in the middle has long since lost its magic and turned into a stone.

Among the secret rooms, this is an item I found in the secret room that connects the school cafeteria and the confectionery shop in the capital.

I had already lost my strength, so I took care of it and left it alone.

“I’ve done some research and I’m pretty sure, but this belongs to an old friend of mine.”

“Really?”

“Yes. So I’m going to leave her for a few days to see her.”

She nodded at her words.

“Okay. But if you’re just giving it back, you can order someone else…”

“No, I’m not going to give it back.”

Mr. Leelu raised the pendant to eye level and stared at it.

“As the guardian of the World Tree, I’m going to fix it for Sir Sir.”
