5. Monster

The protagonist of Project Luna has never revealed his face. Of course, there are no voice actors. However, it was easy to tell whether it was a man or a woman just by the lines.

At least the heroines wouldn’t blush just because they were crazy because the same woman was handsome, right? Thus, the opinion that the main character of Project Luna is a man was widespread.

‘… … But why a woman?’

Although there was no official setting, it must have been a woman, and I couldn’t find it after searching for a long time.

I reached out to the fallen protagonist.

“… … Are you okay?”

“Yes Yes… … .”

“Wait a minute, we’ll get it done soon.”

“I’ll help too!”

Saying so, she stretched out the back of my hand. After a while, a cute one-star pet was summoned from the back of her hand.

It didn’t seem like it would be of much help, but the name is the main character. I said thank you and turned my head forward.

The paladin of salvation, Anna, was fighting a monster while summoning her shield and sword. Even if it was a monster, it was at a level that even the lowest of the lowest, one-star summons could easily defeat it… … That’s not what’s important.

‘The fact that there are monsters here is a problem in itself.’

where is this Summoner’s Cradle, the place where the Summoner Candidates who should be the safest on the entire continent are located.

The fact that a monster has infiltrated such a place can also mean that the academy’s security has been breached.

‘Before the others come.’

Anna was silently wielding swords and shields like a character in the game, facing the monsters. This was the second reason we needed summoners in this world.

Summoners cannot perform their abilities properly without the summoner’s orders. I ordered Anna to use a special move.

“Anna.”

“Yes, Master!”

“Holy Cross.”

“—I see.”

Shortly thereafter, the cross drawn on the shield in her hand begins to glow white. A cross-shaped beam of light spreads out from the shining shield.

―Keek!

The monsters that touched the ray of light start freaking out. As it turns out, the opposite of monsters is light, and this is the reason why Anna is loved by players even though she is a 3-star pet.

Because light shrinks demons just by being there.

—Kiriri Kick!

While the demons were scattered and disappearing in the light, there was one demon that resisted the light. A boss-class monster with one larger head than other monsters.

As if boasting of such a large size, the guy who overcame the light flew his body and hugged Anna’s shield.

Of course, there was no way that he could withstand the light that he had barely endured from afar. The moment the shield was blocked, the boss died in less than a second.

However, the 0.1-second gap he created, the monsters rushed in, aiming for that gap. The target was me.

‘uh… … ?’

“master!”

After confirming that the monster was flying over me and flying towards me, Anna screamed. I couldn’t react to the flying monster, slumped and closed my eyes tightly.

Are you going to die like this? So easy?

‘Nonsense… … .’

However, no matter how much he waited, the pain he had been waiting for was not felt. Perhaps he died without feeling any pain. When he opened his eyes carefully, he saw a huge pillar of fire burning in front of him.

Whoops!

“Anyway.”

A familiar voice, I just remembered the story in the game. In terms of the game, the main character has a hard time defeating the monsters alone, but in the story, the story begins with her saving the main character.

“It’s unsightly to run away on your own.”

Contractor of the fire spirit Ifrit.

Stella Eritz was standing there with her arms crossed.

—Stella, what do these guys do?

“Burn them all, Ifrit.”

-That’s right-.

The 4-star summoned fire spirit Ifrit said so and stretched out both hands. A strong pillar of fire soars high in the sky without realizing it.

Kyahahahaha, a faint laughter spreads.

‘finally… … .’

Chapter 1 of this world has begun.

* * *

Summoning pets inside the academy was forbidden by school rules. Of course, even Stella, who has blossomed a pillar of fire on campus, should be punished according to the principle.

If it wasn’t for the unprecedented emergency that a monster attacked an academy student… … .

The three of us who dealt with the monsters headed to the infirmary. This is because the protagonist who was attacked first suffered minor bruises.

“End with this. Where are you sick?”

“Yes, thank you… .”

“What. I’m sorry for making you go through something like this.”

Sensei Yang said so and sent my summons back. A three-star pet that heals allies, it was at the level of regenerating even if limbs were cut at that point.

After confirming that the treatment was over, the principal pushed the main character with a hard expression.

“So, how did this happen?”

“Well, me too… … .”

Catherine immediately questioned the main character, but it was impossible for the main character to know anything. Wasn’t she in a position to get caught up in the incident right now?

Of course, surprisingly, it was true that the incident only happened near the main character, but… … . It wasn’t that the main character was a black screen or that it was the main character’s fault.

So, here it was my turn.

“It looks like you have dug a tunnel.”

“… … What?”

“It’s a tunnel.”

At my words, the principal, with a look of interest, ordered to continue. I muttered the story in the game, acting as if I had figured it out with the power of my pet.

“There was a hole near the place where the demons were. I checked it with my summons, and it seems that it extends out to hundreds of meters.”

“… … okay? But I wouldn’t be able to bring a demon to this city.”

“Well, I don’t know how.”

Of course I know. However, it was better to investigate the matter on their own rather than to raise suspicions by making useless remarks here.

In the first place, it was probably about a tunnel, and the investigation team would have discovered it by now, and it didn’t take long in the game to find out how the demons summoned monsters.

Hearing my words, the principal shook his head as if he understood.

“Anyway, it was hard. especially you… … sorry. You have no qualms as a principal.”

“Oh, no… ! Raise your head, Principal… !”

As one of the few true educators left in the world, the principal immediately bowed his head. And the main character looked at the principal and waved his hand.

‘Also… … .’

Looking at it, I was convinced that this girl was the main character.

I reproduced the scenes as seen in the game. Of course, the main character’s voice actor did not exist, so a few lines of 0 and 1 lines and the background CG of the infirmary were all… … .

‘This guy is the main character.’

It doesn’t matter how the protagonist became a woman. The deterrent to roll the story, I think.

The important thing now was how to stick to the main character and suck the honey. The main character has always been the center of the story, and just being by her side gives you a lot of experience and rewards.

“Then I’ll just go. There are so many things to do behind the scenes… … You, too, do not tell or do anything about what happened today.”

The principal said so and left the infirmary. The nurse was also called to follow, and there were only the three of us left in the infirmary, and it was so quiet.

“I, there… … .”

“yes?”

The main character, who broke the silence, hesitates and looks at me. Wiggling her fingers, she shouted loudly as if she had finally gathered the courage.

“thank you! … … You saved me.”

“What. I didn’t do anything.”

“right. It wasn’t him who saved you, was it me?”

Stella, who had been listening to the story with him, came out triumphantly. But I couldn’t get anything out. It’s true that if it weren’t for her, my life would be in danger.

After reading my reaction, Stella raised her nose and started bragging about herself.

“Hey, what would a guy who just accidentally picked a 3-star pet do? A summoner is not just a person who made a contract with a summoner, but a person who treats them as if they were their own limbs?”

“… That, but!”

The main character gets up and blocks between me and Stella. The atmosphere was starting to change.

“Hey, this guy was the first to run and save me! If it wasn’t for this person, I’d probably be… … .”

“Ian.”

“… … yes?”

“It’s Ian Clark. My Name.”

Because I was being called by a title of honor, he told me my name. After hearing my name, the main character realized that I had not been introduced yet and started introducing himself.

“Noah clothes! ah… .”

When I saw the main character blushing because he made a mistake by biting his tongue, I looked at Stella thinking that the main character was such a character. She tilted her head as if wondering why she was looking at her.

“What are you doing, don’t you introduce yourself?”

“You don’t know my name?”

“You know?”

“Then why are you introducing yourself?”

“It’s basic courtesy.”

“… … Stella Iritz. Please.”

Hearing Stella’s family name, Noah flinched and looked into her scarlet eyes. He even started to tremble.

“Hey, maybe. The Duke of Iritz… … .”

“… … I did not know?”

“Sir, that was a lot of rudeness… !”

“done. what at the academy. Call me Stella.”

“Yeah, yes. All right, Stella.”

“You’re more daring than I thought. you.”

The two had a friendly conversation. I wonder if he was the main character in the original story, and his compatibility with the heroine was uselessly good.

While looking warmly at the creation of two beautiful people, he suddenly turned his head and made eye contact with Stella.

“Oh, Ian.”

“—?”

“I am not in debt with this! Just call it useless again!”

“… … yes what okay.”

I must have met the main character anyway, there was no reason to be with Stella. I waved my hand and parted with the two of them.

When I returned to my room, I grabbed my pounding chest and checked the status window.

A power that only I can use in this world.

The status window immediately confirmed the rewards and experience gained from today’s battle. After the battle, Anna’s level up became possible.

[Level up possible!]

Consumes 1 Soulstone

Do you want to level up? → Yes / No

“… … Soulstone?”

In the game, you also need money to level up. Usually, I used to give them one by one with the setting that the souls would come together as if they were united together if you practice a lot.

‘How do I get it from here?’

I turned off the status screen and lay down on the bed. There are more things I need to know.

* * *

After taking a bath, Stella, who was being served by the maid, blushed when she heard what my maid said.

“Isn’t that a date?”

“Wow, what!?”

“When a man and woman drink tea together in a cafe, the world calls it a date.”

“It can’t be! A date!”

Stella shouted at the maid serving me, denying what happened today. The maid whispered quietly with an expressionless face.

“There is a saying that excessive negation is positive. miss.”

“gibberish! It’s all bullsh*t!”

dating? With such an unlucky, unsightly, rude, and ignorant man who doesn’t know how to properly handle my summons?

Just imagining it was terrifying. Stella felt goosebumps all over her body.

But the maid, who had fun making fun of her, didn’t stop and continued to tease her.

“Couldn’t you have refused?”

“That, that… I don’t want to be in debt… .”

“It’s debt, I didn’t know you didn’t have money. Even if it’s not enough, can I lend you my monthly salary?”

“It’s not like that!”

At this point, Stella could also notice that the maid was making fun of her. When Stella noticed, the maid smiled and stopped combing her hair.

“It’s done. miss.”

“… … thank you.”

“It was nothing.”

While the maid, who had finished taking her bath, left the room and headed to my dorm, Stella jumped into bed and remembered what had happened today.

Ian Clark’s face kept popping up.

“Aww!”

bang bang! Her cute fists hit the pillow. She slammed it down enough to make the bed matrix resound, and she didn’t stop until the summons came out with the recoil.

─What’s going on? All of a sudden I was shaking a lot.

“Oh, nothing… … .”

─Is that really okay? am i back

“Yes. Thank you for your concern. Ifrit.”

—What, ah, and Salamander wants to call her too.

“Tell me you won’t forget me next time.”

After sending Ifrit back, the real Stella hugged the pillow and rolled her feet this time. The bed stomped on it hard enough to cause it to fall, but the high-end bed in the Academy Dormitory was not damaged by this.

‘I! I, the girl of the Iritsu family! … A date with that guy?’

Of course, what happened today was a bit cool. Hearing the woman’s scream, he ran right away, risking himself and surrounded the woman.

An example of a knight that could only come out of a fairy tale. Even if a girl named Noah fell in love in an instant, there was nothing to say.

‘It’s just, it’s just a debt relationship.’

he owes him A promise to give you a heirloom… … I don’t know what’s going to happen because my father’s reply hasn’t arrived yet.

Until she paid it back, she was E. Thankfully, he saved his life once today, so I think he might have risen to the same level.

‘If you pay off your debts, that kind of guy. You won’t even see your face.’

With that promise, Stella buried her face in the pillow.
