I Became an Extra Who Died Instead of the Main Character

23 – Forest (4)

After Karina and the fallen Alfred senpai joined, our position changed a bit.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Of course, I and Alfred-senpai are going along, but we have to do this much.”

For now, the person who uses light magic has changed from Tinia-senpai to Karina.

Tinia-senpai said it was okay, but she had to do this much to get on top of me.

As things turned out like this, I felt like a locomotive who didn’t do anything.

Although it was true that I was just walking around doing nothing in reality.

“Sorry, I’m still not good at mana management.”

“No, I’m not struggling at all.”

Seeing Karina smiling while saying that made her feel even more sorry, so she wanted to help somehow.

I couldn’t use the absorption that I used to fight monsters earlier, and even if I could use it, I couldn’t openly use my own magical power where Tinia-senpai and Karina were watching with both eyes open.

I had no choice but to walk next to him feeling sorry.

Perhaps Karina didn’t want to see me apologizing, so she shifted the topic of conversation to something else.

“How did you and Lian come to us?”

“Oh that’s…”

A conversation between women that started with

.

I tried to wear it in the middle, but as a man myself, it was not enough.

‘······It must have been that they didn’t get along well.’

Since I talked with Karina earlier, it seemed like they didn’t like it very much.

Right now, the two of them looked very good.

It would be better if Alfred-senpai woke up.

Perhaps the damage received from the monsters and the damage caused by the broken magic were quite large, Alfred-senpai still didn’t seem to want to wake up.

While walking like that, caught in the conversation of women.

“······Wait a minute.”

Senior Tinia suddenly stopped us.

“Yes?”

“Why are you doing that, senior Tinia?”

Karina and I didn’t feel anything, so we looked at Tinia-senpai in a puzzled way.

“I feel something in front of me.”

Senior Tinia seemed to be no joke, but she spoke very seriously.

“For now… Let’s go.”

But we couldn’t help but proceed with the assignment, so we only stepped a little more cautiously, but we continued to move forward.

Then we arrived at the entrance to the wide open space.

Perhaps this was the very center of the forest.

Of course we set foot at the entrance.

“······What is that?”

I couldn’t help but be surprised by the condition of the empty lot inside.

***

“This… What…”

I wonder if there are more words that can express the current situation as well as those words.

‘······ Almost none.’

I think it almost doesn’t exist.

Such a terrible sight, it was like watching a battlefield.

The situation inside the vacant lot was like this.

First grade 1st class students and second grade 1st class mentors were lying all over the place like dead people.

In the middle of the clearing, there was a huge monster that seemed to be the culprit behind making those students like that.

Above that monster stood a man dressed as a scientist who seemed to be behind all this incident.

“Tillian…Professor?”

“······Professor?”

Tinia-senpai seemed to be acquainted with the man on top of the monster.

“Yes… He’s definitely our academy’s science professor…

When Tinia-senpai recognized herself, she responded with a man on top of a monster.

“Oh, Miss Tinia?”

“Professor… How did this happen…”

“Right, Miss Tinia was also a noblewoman, right?”

“·······Yes?”

“It’s a pity. I used to like Miss Tinia.”

Professor Tillian, who used to speak incomprehensible English, chanted something in a voice that could not be heard here.

‘·······No.’

With him, the uneasiness that I had been feeling until now reached its maximum this time.

“Shadow Spear!”

“Senior Tinia! Barrier!”

“Okay!”

Thanks to that anxiety, I was able to react to the professor’s magic without delay.

“Why are you doing this to us all of a sudden!”

A professor who indiscriminately attacks students.

In an unheard of situation, Karina shouted as if she was unfair.

“Why are you doing this to us? Are you asking because you really don’t know?”

Professor Tillian asked Karina as if she didn’t know why.

“Because you are not supposed to exist in this world.”

“Why…”

When we couldn’t understand Professor Tillian’s words, the professor began to explain.

Now, everyone, think about it.

Most of the class 1 here are from aristocratic and elite families.

How is the current society of the Empire?

Aristocrats oppress commoners, and unless you are a noble, you cannot easily reveal your name anywhere.

Isn’t it literally a society centered on the aristocrats and discriminating against the common people?

And in a society like this, the children of the nobles continue to follow the will of the nobles.

In this way, the infinite repetition of the aristocratic society is achieved.

However, if that connection is broken here and now.

What if I killed all the connections this time?

Aristocratic societies with no one to pass on will no longer exist.

Then wouldn’t a society come where commoners can express their will?

“That’s why I’m trying to kill you guys.”

In order to fundamentally eradicate the aristocratic society.

“What… Nonsense…”

Professor Tillian’s explanation was over, but like what Tinia said, not a single one of us agreed to it.

When we didn’t agree at all, Professor Tillian shrugged his shoulders as if he expected it.

“There’s no way nobles like you know what I mean. I didn’t even expect it.”

The professor chanted those words last.

“Dark Spear!”

As soon as the chant ended, a jet-black spear was created in Tillion’s hand.

Just like that, the jet-black spear flew towards us.

Among us, it flew towards me who was at the front.

“Junior!”

“Lian!”

I heard the urgent cries of Tinia-senpai and Karina, but it was already too late to avoid them.

Dark Spear is a 4-circle magic.

It was impossible to dodge that speedy spear with my own skills.

‘······Is this how you die?’

Still, I thought it was good enough.

I absorbed Adele’s disease and got rid of Adele’s hurt and pain.

Since the engagement was not broken externally, it did not cause any damage to the Kindred family like the previous life.

In everyone’s life, only a worm-like existence has disappeared.

A life that can truly be said to be perfect as an extra.

If I could see an ending like this with my death, my life was not wasted at all.

I slowly closed my eyes at the approaching death.

Peruk-

With a piercing sound as if something had been stabbed, blood splattered on his face.

‘Ah, that’s right.’

Of course I felt like I was beaten, and I felt that I would soon be greeted with eternal rest along with the pain.

However.

I didn’t feel the pain even after a while.

‘······Why doesn’t it hurt?’

I questioned the unreal situation.

There’s no way it won’t hurt after being hit by the Dark Spear, a Circle 4 magic.

Perhaps the pain was so great that the pain disappeared. Is it like this

Since there was no reason not to feel the pain unless it was really that, I opened my eyes slightly.

And.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

A silver-haired woman was blocking my way with her arms outstretched.

“······Adele?”

“···”

“You…Why…”

Blood flowed from Adele’s mouth, who was blocking my way, as if to tell me how great the impact of the Dark Spear was.

“You…Why…”

And I was speechless and couldn’t speak properly..

Why? Why.

Why is a main character like you? Just an extra me.

Just me. I’m just a minor character who just needs to suffer from your illness and die.

It’s just trash that hurt you, who was always kind.

I’m just an extra who needs to leave while being told that it’s self-sufficient and karma.

Why are you protecting me?

‘Why.’ To the simple, if simple, question, Adele said with a small smile.

“This time… I couldn’t lose you… This time either.”

“······This time again? What do you mean by that?”

This time too.

Could it be that not only me but also Adele returned?

Memories of dying in the cold secluded room of the count’s past.

I wonder if Adele also has it?

“·······hehehe.”

Despite my anxious question, Adele just smiled as if she couldn’t speak.

“···”

Adele’s smile was happy yet sad, a smile that seemed to have a lot to say but seemed to have none.

And I watched that smile.

“······Sorry, I’ll borrow it for a while.”

I made up my mind.

“What… Borrow… Linda…”

Adele was taken aback by my appearance as if she was preparing something, but when she realized what she was trying to do, she was startled and started to stop me.

“No. No… Ryan…”

Adele didn’t seem to be able to say it because she didn’t have enough strength anymore, but it seemed like she wanted to say that you can’t defeat that monster with your own strength…

Nevertheless, I used my inherent magic, which was now usable again.

“Absorption.”

“No…”

“I’ll listen to the explanation of ‘this time again’ after this assignment is over.”

“···”

Adele kept trying to dissuade me, asking me not to do that, but I ignored Adele and entrusted Adele to senior Tinia.

“Senior Tinia. Adele, please.”

“······What do you want to do?”

When I entrusted Adele, Senior Tinia also looked at me with worried eyes like Adele.

For that sincere concern.

I replied with a small smile.

“You should try it.”

Because I’m the only one who can do it here.

Even if I die fighting that monster.

If I can protect those of you who have become my friends and those who truly care about me, the gain is many times greater than the cost of my life.

I made up my mind and chanted.

“I will make a contract.”

‘Are you my contractor?’

Then the whole tone resonated in my head.

Am I your contractor?

“Yes.”

Of course not.

It was the prelude to a counterattack.
