The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

184 – [Side Story] Student from the Eastern Continent – 43 (Complete)

After that, a month passed.

After the secret execution of Sherry Hayworth, great changes occurred in the Western Continent.

First of all, the number of disasters occurring in various places has decreased noticeably.

Of course, even after accepting ‘international students’ from the West Continent, the amount of money gradually decreased.

However, starting from this incident, the decline in financial assets has become very large and rapid.

Coinciding with this, high-ranking nobles who observed Sherry Hayworth’s execution also suggested that Sherry Hayworth’s fortune until now was due to her.

Of course, it was just speculation, and since the number of observers was not that large in the first place, the theory quickly became popular.

However, surprisingly, that theory was not completely wrong.

“…Miss Alyssa had the qualities of a ‘saint’.”

“You mean a saint…?”

Saint.

When those words come out of Sir’s mouth, there is only one person who comes to mind.

Saint Velia.

She loved the world tree, Yggdrasil, more than anyone else, and at the same time, she was Yggdrasil’s favorite person.

But she was a poor woman whose heart was used by the Demon King, and she ended up going on a rampage, killing that Yggdrasil with her own hands.

“If the World Tree serves to circulate her magical power, the Saint’s role is to spread it more smoothly and further.”

If the World Tree is a Wi-Fi wireless router, the saint serves as its amplifier.

Sherry Hayworth and Eucerin, who took over Alyssa Leipert’s body, did not play that role.

Even though the body had the qualities of a saint, the spirit that occupied that body did not have the qualifications of a saint.

However, because of the physical specs, it seems like the power has bloomed in another direction…

“Even I only realized that Miss Alyssa had the qualities of a saint after she regained her original body.”

Becoming a saint is not something you can become just because of her qualities.

In addition to her qualities, she can finally be called a saint after being chosen and blessed by the World Tree.

Of course, that quality is something that only one in thousands of people have, and there is a gap in that level even among people who have that quality.

According to Sir, Alyssa Leifert’s qualities as a saint are at the highest level.

She had qualities comparable to Velia, the saint who saved the world in the past.

“It wasn’t just a coincidence that Miss Sherry targeted and stole Ms. Alyssa’s body, right?”

“…Well, that’s fine.”

To be honest, I don’t know either.

I wanted to ask Sherry and Eucerin for more details, but I couldn’t.

There was no time, and she was not the woman who would answer the question in the first place.

If I had to express my opinion, she was probably in the same case as me.

A case that came to this world after seeing the ‘original work’ of something that was already based on this world.

…I don’t know if there is a sequel to the novel I read or if it’s a completely different work based on the same world.

She knew in advance how this world would unfold.

And she took away the body of its main character, Alyssa Leifert.

If there was something she overlooked, it would have been that this world never goes back to the ‘original’ way.

I also feel this deeply.

I too have been so stubborn about the ‘original work’ that I have almost lost someone precious to me more than once.

Moreover, unlike me, she didn’t even have any interference that gave her the illusion that things were going as they should have been.

“…So, how is he doing?”

“It’s literally a blank slate, so Lilu is taking care of it now.”

Sherry Hayworth’s body became empty as the soul that escaped was destroyed.

A spell attempted with a damaged soul.

…As a result, the damage her soul received exceeded its limit, and her soul was shattered and disappeared.

Now, it has become impossible for her to even be reborn.

That’s not all.

Just because the soul is shattered, its existence does not disappear.

It is said that the spirit in that soul will remain, unable to do anything, and will wander this world forever without feeling anything.

Now that her spirit has gone to a realm where not even the World Tree can interfere, no one will be able to save it.

It seems like the story has leaked somewhere else.

Anyway, what happens to the empty body when the soul escapes?

As the saying goes, ‘I lost my soul’, I became like an idiot and could not move.

The body is alive, but it is no different from being dead.

There is nothing that can be done in this situation.

Sherry Hayworth herself is as good as dead, and she can’t just send her empty body to prison island.

Furthermore, the Hayworth family is virtually extinct a long time ago, and is literally a cut-off family with no distant relatives.

In the end, Sir was in charge of handling the body, which was in a difficult state.

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

“Yes, he is almost like a baby…But his body has grown, so his mental growth will be fast.”

The World Tree.

With that power, new life can be created.

I took on the newly created life by inhabiting the body with a new pure white soul.

…Of course, due to the body’s position, it cannot be left here, so it will be taken to the East Continent.

“Oh, Sir. I guess I’ll have to tell you first.”

During this month, she spent time in the empire and had many conversations with the upper echelons of the empire.

Although she had originally come here because she was called by Sir, she still couldn’t go without a reason, so she came with the excuse that she was acting as Queen Palazinia’s representative and to investigate an unpleasant incident in the life of her student studying abroad. .

So, I discussed the treatment of those involved in this incident with the upper echelons of the empire, including the emperor.

As a result, first of all, former Crown Prince Joshua.

According to the original decision, he was given the title of baron immediately after graduating from the academy and was given a small estate to live in.

After all the circumstances of the case were revealed, there was sympathy that Prince Joshua made a mistake because he was possessed by an evil woman, and there was even talk of a reduced sentence, but Prince Joshua rejected it.

‘…I am no longer qualified to be a member of the royal family after being caught up in a trivial inferiority complex and getting so many people involved.’

He said so and accepted the ruling.

Now he has returned to the academy and is quietly pursuing his studies.

And Nord Uboris.

Like Joshua, there were extenuating circumstances, but those were irrelevant.

‘At the point when he was unable to fulfill his duty as a knight because he was possessed by a woman, I will instill grit in you again!!’

It wasn’t enough that he had done something foolish, he became so angry that Count Uboris would be furious when he found out that he did it because he was possessed by a woman.

It is said that he took him into the mountains and has not come out for a month.

Judging by the fact that screams are sometimes heard from the mountain, the situation can be expected even without looking specifically.

But the good news is that the count said he would assign me under him as soon as I finished my education, so it looks like I can become a knight.

Prince Portis of the Kingdom of Rudman.

He was forcibly exiled to the Kingdom of Rudman.

Since he was a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Rudman, he did not know much about the treatment, but he soon found out.

A few days after Prince Portis was forcibly exiled, a messenger came from the Kingdom of Rudman.

And among the letters the messenger brought, there was also one addressed to me.

The content is that the son has done a great disservice to the daughter, and that he would like to meet in person sometime and talk about it in person.

For the King of the Kingdom of Ludman, who is said to have a very fiery personality, it was written very politely.

I thought they were probably worried that there would be disadvantages in the distribution of food aid because they touched international students.

And a few days later, King Rudman, who visited the empire, learned that he had been kicked out of the royal throne empty-handed.

He was kicked out of the kingdom so that he was not allowed to enter or leave the kingdom at all.

…Actually, it wasn’t that serious of a crime, but I think he probably wanted to show sincerity to this side.

Well, since he was quite talented in magic, I guess he would make a good living somehow.

The Prime Minister’s son, Chris Maletti.

This guy had already been sentenced to death and was in prison, but I personally had some business to do so I went to visit him.

And with the guard’s connivance, he was beaten again and again like a dog.

Whose daughter are you hiring an assassin for, you bastard?

Of course, I’m not the type of kid who would be attacked by an assassin or something like that, but it’s still a shame.

Well, in the end, among those involved, the only one who returned to the academy was former Crown Prince Joshua.

When he graduates from the academy, he will go down to the quiet baronial territory and live quietly.

Infighting is breaking out even among the nobles who were on the Crown Prince faction.

In addition, several high-ranking people in the empire disappeared at once.

The commotion will not subside for a while.

“…Hmm, I guess it’s not because of me. All of this.”

“Is that possible? Rather, I think the damage was minimized thanks to you.”

I researched her related materials several times, but I found out that Euse Lin had taken over her body, Alyssa Ray Pert, and the four people who followed her.

Their destruction was planned from the beginning.

From his poor behavior to the damage he caused throughout the city.

Even if it was left as is, there was a high probability that it would be purged by the emperor’s hand.

…Sir’s intervention only accelerated the situation and made it end more smoothly.

At least that’s how I saw it.

It is that time.

A knock was heard, and the door opened when Sir told him to come in.

Mr. Leelu, dressed as a servant, was standing there.

“Sir, head of the clan. They say the ship will arrive soon.”

“Huh? Already?”

“I guess I should go out soon.”

I’ve thought about it many times, but I’m not used to being called the head of the family by Leelu.

…In the first place, she is not a servant of our Wenthos family, but if you really want to be specific, she is like Sir’s personal servant.

But she constantly calls me head of the family because I am ‘Sir’s father.’

Should I say it’s a bit itchy during the day?

No, now is not the time to think about that.

My heart is heavy.

What kind of story should I go and talk about?

As if he had read my mind, Sir poked my arm and said.

“Are you thinking of an excuse?”

“…Yeah, well…It’s my fault for making you upset.”

“I think I can just apologize without making any excuses.”

Sir says that while tilting his head.

No, that’s true…But I still feel like I need to show some sincerity…

I joined Liliana and Tania, who were outside first, and left the island in a carriage.

After running like that, we arrived at Dorito, a port city in the east of the empire.

“Wow, I think we arrived just in time.”

There, a large merchant ship was about to dock.

The sign of the Owen Company is drawn on the boat.

As we followed Sir running towards the ship, we saw people getting off the ship.

The one there was a red-haired lady, my wife, Riel Wentos.

And her eldest son Leon and second daughter Calia were with her.

Behind him, Phyllis was quickly standing and accompanying him.

Leon is looking around curiously, and Calia is clinging to her mother.

Kalia must have looked this way and came running with a smile.

“Sister!!”

Kalia rushes over and clings to Sir.

Sir also hugged Calia as if he was used to it.

“Sister! I missed you!!”

“Yes, I missed Calia a lot too.”

“hehehehe!!”

These two had been close friends for several years, so Calia missed her sister a lot.

That’s not all.

Riel and Rion both wanted to see Sir a lot.

So, rather than going back on my own, I decided to go back with my family after they came here and met Sir together.

“Ah…Ah…Dad!! It’s amazing!! Even the buildings and the clothes they’re wearing are all different!!”

…Rion Seeing how curious and excited that guy was, I guess it wasn’t a bad idea.

But what if that guy, after looking for his sister like that, actually comes to see her and becomes even more absorbed in looking around?

Look at that, she doesn’t notice that Sir is looking at her with a slightly sad expression.

…But when I think about it, it’s not the time for me to worry about such things.

I made up my mind and walked forward.

“…Hey, Riel…So…”

“…Hmph!”

As I approached, Riel snorted and turned her head.

…Wrong. I feel like I’m still upset.

I approached, hoping that time would solve the problem, but it seemed that it had not yet.

As her shoulders slumped in her bow, Liliana placed her hands on her shoulders.

When I turned around, I saw Liliana shaking her head with a wry smile on her face.

“It’s okay, I just looked at it and all my anger went away, but I guess they did it on purpose.”

“Li…Liliana!!”

“Riel, don’t be so stubborn, you know how much Kyou loves Riel, right?”

Riel, who was glaring at Liliana with her face turning red, turned her head and looked at me again.

… Was Liliana really as angry as she said? She was nervous and was about to open her mouth again when Riel opened her mouth first.

“…I heard everything. From Lefia.”

“Uh…Yeah…”

“She waved her hand and said that nothing had happened. Looking at her expression, it seemed like she really meant it…”

At the same time, Riel grumbled, saying, ‘I was annoyed because she seemed to be regretting it,’ but she seemed to have really let go of her anger.

…I should try it, right?

I approached Riel slightly and hugged her tightly.

Perhaps he was embarrassed, Riel slapped his back slightly in protest.

“I’m really sorry. I’ll try my best to prevent something like this from happening.”

After a while, Riel hugged my body.

“…No, I just misunderstood…I’m really sorry, too.”

Three days have passed.

To be exact, it is the time until Owen Trading Company completes all work, including various trades and loading.

Once that is over, everyone except Sir and Lilu will board a merchant ship and leave the Western Continent.

“Sister, are you really going to stay?”

“Yes, I haven’t finished everything I have to do yet… I have to finish the first year, right?”

Sir decided to stay, raise all the world tree’s powder, and then return.

Fortunately, after this incident, the growth of the powder industry has accelerated so much that it is expected to end by early next year.

While the Wentos family was spending family time for three days, many people came.

First of all, it’s Alyssa Leifert.

She came to Cyr with Prince Rex, bowed her head and thanked him.

Alyssa left her empire with her own face known, and she followed Prince Rex to the Kingdom of Lumiel.

Although her husband, Viscount Rayffert, was also disappointed, he decided to let her go and spent the remaining time with her as a father and daughter.

“How can I thank Sir…”

“Hmm… Then can you help me?”

“Yes?”

Qualities of a saint possessed by Alyssa Leifert.

Sir said that in the future, when the powder has fully grown, she plans to entrust it to Alyssa.

“Then take this child with you, and I’ll find you when the time comes.”

As Sir clapped his hands while saying so, a pure white hawk flew to Sir’s side, crying loudly.

Holy water Bedrpolnir.

Holy water summoned by Sherry Hayworth, who took the body of Alyssa Leifert…

Of course, it is said that the reason Bedrepolnir was summoned was because Alyssa Leifert had great qualities of a saint.

But compared to him, the soul inside her was extremely dirty, and she refused to follow Bedrepolnir…

“He was a child who had a contract with you, and since he seems to like you, he will follow you.”

Now that her original spirit has returned, Alyssa seems to like her. When Alyssa hesitantly reaches out her hand, she presses her face into it.

If the World Tree’s entire body grows up and is left to Alyssa, Bedrpolnir will build a nest on top of it and live there.

The next person to come was Martina, the daughter of Duke Wiltard.

In her case, she was going through quite a busy period after breaking off her engagement with the crown prince.

It is said that numerous nobles courted her, targeting her for her superiority and even beauty.

But she turned down all her suitors, and she is still engaged in her studies at the academy. She said

Once she graduated from the academy, she wanted to leave the empire and explore faraway places.

“I don’t know if I’ll ever meet you again.”

Saying that, she greeted the Wentos family.

Someday, she might come to the Eastern Continent.

And the day when everyone except Sir leaves for the East Continent.

From a ship boarded by soldiers disguised as ordinary people, a small figure wearing a robe got off.

Then, with her escort, I contacted the maid who was waiting in front of the ship.

“…Everyone.”

As the small figure and the person standing next to him spoke quietly, the maid of the Wentos family nodded and guided them.

After putting them on the boat and entering the cabin, a small figure took off his robe.

“Whoa…”

“Ah, it’s Lu!!”

“Ah, it’s been a while. Tania.”

The face revealed after taking off the robe was that of a young girl who looked similar to Tania.

Her name is Runiel Rafa Ardia.

This was a member of the royal family who became the new crown princess of the Ardian Empire.

“…It’s a spacious and clean ship.”

Her escort who rode with her also took off his robe and wiped his sweat.

This whole situation was carried out in complete secrecy.

Luniel Rafa Ardia.

Until she became an adult, she decided to go to the East Continent.

Currently, the imperial family of the Ardia Empire is in chaos.

The Crown Prince was dethroned and Runiel became the Crown Princess, but she was still young.

A situation where there is constant fighting between the forces following the other princes and princesses.

So, the emperor decided to hide Runiel.

Right on the Eastern Continent.

For that purpose, she left her daughter in the care of Count Wentos, who had come from the Eastern Continent, and secretly boarded the ship.

“Lu! Let’s have a lot of fun when we go home!!”

“hehehe, yes… Please take care of me.”

She grew up on the East Continent and decided to go to the Academy there when she grew older.

And when she graduates and becomes an adult, she will return to the empire and sit on the throne of emperor.

The current emperor decided to sort out all the chaos in the empire until then.

‘I had a hard time in my later years, tsk.’

Even though he grumbled like that, the emperor’s eyes were full of the vitality of a young man.

“It’s almost time for the ship to depart.”

Saying so, Riel approached Sir.

“Sir, I’m not too worried because it’s you… But you still have to take care of yourself.”

“Oh, it’s okay. Mom too…”

Riel hugs Sir tightly.

…If you look at it again like this, these two really look alike.

Although Cyr was like that in her childhood, Cyr’s current appearance is so similar to Riel’s from her school days that only the color of her hair and eyes changed.

This suddenly reminds me of my academy days.

The two people separated, and Sir came towards me and hugged me.

I also hugged Sir tightly.

…Even though only a few years have passed, we have grown so much.

“Dad, take care of yourself too.”

“Yes, stay healthy too.”

“…Mom, be careful not to get upset.”

“Uh…Yeah.”

As she boarded the ship, she saw Sir leaving in the distance waving her hand.

… He continued to look towards Syr until he was out of sight, and the wind blew strong.

“Laugh…”

Perhaps it was because of the cold sea breeze, Riel moaned softly.

As I took off her top and covered it, Riel looked at me and smiled.

“The sea breeze is cold, let’s go in quickly.”

“…Yes.”

I had a dream that day.

A strange feeling of not being able to do anything or feel anything in an empty space.

But that voice is so clear…

It’s the same feeling I got years ago.

“It’s been a while.”

The voice of a young woman.

She still can’t feel anything, she can’t even see the face.

Just a voice.

“I’m glad to see you’re doing well, and the new world tree seems to be growing well.”

“Yes, I’m doing well.”

“We have a lot of children…hahahaha, I’m glad that child got a happy ending.”

The being who wrote the ‘original work’ I read.

It was truly the first time that existence had appeared in many years.

“So, what brought you here?”

“Uhm…Well, it’s not that big of a deal…”

The voice grunted for a moment and then began speaking again.

“You really did a great job with the ‘Irregular’ response this time!”

“Irregular?”

“Yeah, well, it happens very rarely…”

Basically, souls belonging to one world repeat the cycle of souls within that world.

There are three cases where the soul goes to another place and circulates there.

One, the intentional movement of the soul by a higher being. In other words, it is something called ‘possession’ or ‘reincarnation’.

To put it simply, this is my case.

In my case, the ‘recorder’ transferred my soul to my current body, and I became a soul belonging to this world.

The second is ‘summoning’.

Paying a huge price, bringing in or sending beings from another world.

After paying the price, the ‘soul’ of that being becomes part of that world.

This includes warriors summoned in the past, and the case of former magic tower lord Cheyney.

And the last one is this ‘Irregular’.

This is a case where the soul is caught up in reincarnation in another world without anyone’s intervention.

It’s something that happens very, very rarely, but it doesn’t happen very often.

The existence of the Irregular causes confusion in many ways.

Just like Sherry Hayworth and Eucerin caused confusion this time.

“Well, it’s just a coincidence that you were indirectly involved in that confusion.”

“…hahahaha.”

I can only laugh dryly.

I got caught up in something really weird, and what’s more, the person who happened to be reincarnated here happens to be the daughter of a bunch of trash heroes.

I wonder if someone was aiming for a coincidence at this point.

“I’m telling you in advance, I really have nothing to do with it, right? I was just going to ignore this one, but I came to see you when I saw you were involved.”

“So, whose ‘original work’ did Irregular see?”

“…Well? There are more than one or two people doing similar work to me, so how am I supposed to know each and every one of them?”

Then is it really a coincidence?

Because of that coincidence, Tania got hurt, so it was an unpleasant experience in many ways.

“Well, the World Tree intervened and it ended amicably, so I’m satisfied. I want to write about this story!”

“…I don’t think it’s very interesting.”

“Well, aren’t there people who like this kind of content?”

The recorder said with a chuckle.

…I feel a bit uncomfortable that my family got caught up in the situation for no reason.

“Do whatever you want. It doesn’t matter to me as long as it doesn’t cause any more harm to me and my family.”

“Hmm… Really? How about the title… ‘International Student from the East Continent’? We’ll have to increase our World Tree’s stake a lot.”

“I told you to do whatever you want.”

As I listened to the distant laughter, I was slowly awakening to consciousness.

…Well, no matter what that guy writes, my life is still going the way it was.

If you think about the fact that the Crown Princess of the West Continent is in charge, and that her entire family will be scolded by the Queen and Princesses for leaving the county…

It seemed like it would be noisy again for a while.
