The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

7 – Unlike the original story?

Riel Ignis was back in his room.

My head was cluttered with what Alan had said during the day.

If, like Phyllis, Kyo leaves his side too…

Riel couldn’t stand it.

She had to tell the truth to her father, the duke, somehow, somehow.

First, meet in person.

Unlike my childhood before learning to write, I can convey the truth through writing.

But this should be excluded.

In the first place, Duke Ignis, Riel’s father, has been busy lately, so he only meets once or twice a year.

It’s been a long time since her mother, along with her brother, the next duke, was always by her side to assist her father.

In that case, sister.

Her older sister, Eve Ignis, is also busy working in the Kingdom Magic Division.

Even now, it is time for the magic division to go out on a campaign due to the monster’s agitation.

It is unreasonable to find out where you are now on your own.

It’s hard to go see them in person.

Letters…Not letters.

Ignored in the middle.

There were many people in the duke’s family who had a good opinion of Alan, especially among her ladies-in-waiting.

I even secretly overheard the ladies-in-waiting of the duke family gossiping that Riel was jealous of Alan and framed him.

Even Ilia, the exclusive handmaid waiting behind him, is on Alan’s side.

… Riel said that she had learned to read by herself and that she had seen her steal away the first letter she wrote to her father.

So what if your father, the duke, comes here in person…?

This will probably be difficult too.

It’s bullsh*t, but even if she hears that her daughter is being threatened by someone, she’s not the kind of person who can’t tell the difference in the construction to the point where she’ll come all the way here herself.

It’s complicated in my head.

What should I do?

I have tried several times to get out of this situation.

However, attempts to meet her family and to convey to her family were repeatedly blocked.

It’s as if something is determined and disturbing Riel.

She had suffered so many times that at some point she gave up resisting.

But now, even now, I had to do something.

…I wanted to think alone for a while.

Riel looked at Ilia who was waiting behind her.

When her gaze met Ilia, she looked at Riel, and Riel pointed to her door.

‘Get out.’

Ilya, who understood her vaguely, nodded her head and went out of her room.

“…Ha”

A sigh comes out.

She hates the reality of being helplessly taken away, and she hates herself being helpless.

Is there no way…Some way…

When Riel was rolling her head like that.

Taktak

The sound of knocking on something quietly.

My gaze turned to the window.

“…Who?”

She held her breath and slowly approached the window.

As it is within the academy, the security of her dormitory is strict, so there is little chance of outsiders.

But will there be insiders who will visit me in this dormitory, especially in the female dormitory?

I’m not bragging, but there’s no one I can call a friend other than Kyou?

The moment you slightly open the window.

I heard a nostalgic voice from Riel.

On the day of the duel, two days after the duel application.

After eating a simple breakfast at the dormitory cafeteria and leaving the dormitory, I saw Riel waiting for me.

“Kyou.”

“Good morning, Riel.”

“Yeah. But Kyou, your clothes are a lot crooked.”

“…Ah.”

Certainly, the way he was dressed and his tie were a bit crooked.

Even before I came to this world, I had a lot of trouble wearing clothes straight.

“hahahaha… It’s been a while since I’ve been wearing clothes alone.”

“Stay still, I’ll look after you.”

After saying that, Riel started fixing my clothes.

…Well, what should I say?

What is it about a pretty girl fixing my clothes…

I feel embarrassed.

“Okay, it’s over!”

Riel smiled broadly after saying that.

For a moment, our eyes met.

Riel’s face blushed slightly and she lowered her head.

“Then…Then let’s go!”

“Uh… Yes.”

I feel ashamed as well, so I head to the academy with Riel.

“Kyou.”

“Huh?”

“Cheer up.”

“Yes.”

I am at the academy today

A duel with Alan Ludwig, the protagonist who defeated me in the original work.

Academy classroom.

Alan was nowhere to be found.

Neither the group Alan was with nor Liliana was present.

The day before, I handed in Alan’s and I’s student cards to the professor in charge and made an appointment.

The start of the duel is scheduled for morning practice time.

The homeroom professor comes in and morning classes begin soon, but Alan and his followers still do not enter the classroom.

“Sorry for the delay!”

As I was thinking that, Alan entered the classroom.

Followers were coming behind them, and they were all sweating profusely.

“I don’t know why you’re late, but don’t be late next time”

“Four!”

Alan hurriedly entered the classroom and our eyes met.

His eyes were full of hostility.

I ignored it lightly.

After the first lesson, it’s practice time.

An outdoor practice field used for outdoor activities such as practice time.

The professor in charge took out the wooden sword in his hand and handed it to Alan one by one.

“According to the contents of the application, each weapon will be a sword, right?”

“Yes.”

The weapons to be used for practice are requested in advance.

If you do that, the professor in charge will prepare the weapon himself and give it to you on the day of the duel.

I take the wooden sword I received and swing it a few times.

It is lighter than the one I originally used, but quite heavy for a wooden sword.

It looked like it could get seriously injured if hit incorrectly.

“The method is one-on-one. Magic can be used, but magic with high killing power is prohibited.”

“”Yes!””

“Let’s take pride in each other. If you use cowardly methods during a duel, you will be forcibly defeated.”

Students from the same class form a circle and form seats.

Looking around at the students, I met Riel’s eyes.

She waved her hand with a small smile.

I also answered by waving her hand.

At that moment, I heard a sharp sound of a wooden sword swinging in front of me.

Alan was staring straight ahead.

“I will definitely put an end to your misdeeds, Kyou Wentos.”

“Ha.”

Really.

I really wonder if this guy’s head is full of flower gardens.

I wonder if the original Alan was like this.

…And what about the original Riel?

“Strive hard in my delusion, Alan Ludwig”

“This bastard…!!”

Boom!

The instructor in charge announces the start of the duel.

Alan immediately charged with her wooden sword.

Shook!

A fairly fast vertical cut.

However, it is as simple as that, and the scope is narrow.

I put my body to the side to avoid it, aiming at the top of Alan and swinging my sword.

Of course, Alan wasn’t stupid enough to suffer as well, so as soon as he realized that his attack was dodged, he retrieved his sword and blocked my attack.

The wooden swords collided with each other, and they opened their distance again.

Alan moved again.

“Haap!”

This time, cut diagonally from the top right.

Compared to the vertical cut, the range is wider, but that’s it.

Kagagak!!

It’s because it’s easy to shed an attack as much as it cuts diagonally.

Alan’s attack went over following my slanted sword, and for a very short time, Alan’s movement opened up a gap.

Puck!

“Heuk!”

It was too short a time to retrieve the sword he had lifted and attack, so he kicked Alan’s side, which had a gap, instead.

Alan staggers backwards from the force of the kick.

“Is the only thing you know how to charge like a beast?”

“You… Coward… To use your feet!”

“Cowardly? Among the numerous combat manuals in the kingdom, there are dozens of martial arts that use feet.”

I let go of Alan’s attack again and kicked him in the leg.

“Are you saying that everything you don’t know is cowardly? You’re very good.”

“Kuh…!”

It attacks again, dodges or counterattacks, and this is repeated several times.

Alan has really been attacking tirelessly.

Yes, he is truly tireless.

Alan is the ‘child of Yggdrasil’.

Its power is literally near-infinite energy.

Like a line from a superhero movie, it means you can fight all day long.

“A bull-like bastard…”

After fighting for dozens of minutes, he doesn’t show any signs of getting tired.

On the other hand, I was confronted with somehow calming my rising breath.

While dodging, draining, and counterattacking Alan’s quick attacks, he didn’t allow any effective hits, but he felt his body getting heavier and heavier.

His attacks are fairly fast, and he needs to dodge faster than that, so he’s just plain tired.

While Alan’s attack magic was offset, his mana was also greatly reduced.

That doesn’t mean there isn’t a win.

With bruises here and there, the guy’s movements were clearly sluggish.

So, he just needs to aim for one shot.

A shot that can definitely defeat him regardless of his monstrous stamina.

If I get exhausted before that one shot, it’s my defeat.

In fact, in the original work, Alan Ludwig tasted defeat for the first time in this way, and abandoned the fighting method that relied on stamina.

But now, Alan Ludwig, who only fights relying on stamina, is right in front of his eyes.

“Huh…Huh…”

How was the original…?

Kyo Wentos from the original novel tried all sorts of schemes to win against Alan.

The morning of the duel, instigate local bullies to attack Alan on his way to school, or blackmail Liliana into sabotaging Alan.

However, it is different from the original.

I tried, and unlike Kyo Wentos in the original, I can beat Alan Ludwig with my skills.

I looked for gaps with that certainty.

Alan grips his wooden sword tightly to attack again..

I can feel Alan putting magic power into his body.

And the moment Alan takes a step to attack.

“Kuh!”

Alan’s step staggered.

It seems that he couldn’t stand the injury to his leg after being attacked several times.

‘Now…!’

Right now.

If this gap is bigger than ever, you can aim for a big shot.

The moment you move your body to immediately move into action.

“… Huh?”

My body movements were sluggish.

No, my legs moved slower than anything else.

A cold circulates in the legs, restricting movement.

…It’s a familiar magic.

When I sneaked her gaze in pursuit of her mana, Liliana was looking this way with her white face.

And I can feel the presence of Alan charging.

I tried to avoid it, but the movement of my legs was very slow.

“Oh my god…!”

The wooden swords rushed right in front of my eyes.
