The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

31 – Alan’s Holiday

It was still sunny when we arrived at Grand Seine, the royal capital. After getting off at the station, we took Emilia to Coop Hall, the dormitory where she lives. Went to give

Koop Hall is a building with two similar buildings facing each other, just like the Aurum Hall where we live.

Anyway, it’s a little smaller than the other two dormitories, probably because the number of commoner students isn’t that great.

“Then Emmy, see you at the academy tomorrow.”

“Yes, both tomorrow…!”

After saying goodbye to Riel, she shook her hand at Emilia, who bowed lightly and greeted me, who was standing at a distance.

And as she watched her run into the building she lived in, she felt a familiar presence.

Alan Ludwig.

He tried to approach me with a happy face, as if he had found Riel, but when he saw me, he hardened his expression and stopped there.

Well, the Coop Building is located outside the Academy grounds, but at least the Coop Building and its surroundings are owned by the Academy, so should it be considered within the Academy grounds?

Ignoring him who was silent as if resentful, I approached Riel and covered him with my body so he wouldn’t be found and told Riel.

“Then shall we go back soon?”

“Yes!”

Riel smiled broadly and held her hand tightly, so she led her towards the Aurum Pavilion.

Alan Ludwig was looking for Riel when the holiday period started.

Alan, who heard from her friend Yohan Grafeel that Kyo Wentos had returned to her hometown, thought that he would like to use this opportunity to talk to Riel without Kyo.

There must be some misunderstanding.

…I’m sure if we talk, we’ll be able to reconcile with Riel again. On good terms again…

But isn’t it?

Since we are childhood friends…

Thought so, Alan headed to the Aurum Pavilion to meet Riel on the first day of the holiday.

If she did come out so that Riel wouldn’t be surprised, it was Alan who had been waiting to talk to her under the guise of coincidence, but there was no sign that she would come out until her lunch break was over.

In the end, she couldn’t stand it and asked the dormitory manager, but Riel was told that she was no longer in the dormitory.

She asked the janitor where she was, but the janitor only replied that she didn’t know herself, and even if she knew, he couldn’t tell.

Eventually, on that day, she wandered around to see if Riel was there, and ended up spending the day with Ferris, whom she met by chance.

“Alan, what are you doing?”

“…Huh? No, nothing special…?”

“No… I guess I’m mistaken.”

Ferris said that when she saw Alan who kept looking around her while she was spending time with her, but Alan, the person in charge of her, was completely unaware of it.

So the first day of her holiday ended without meeting Riel.

On the second day, Riel was already absent from the dormitory.

In the end, just like yesterday, Alan’s only action was to look for Riel outside of her.

If there is a difference from yesterday, yesterday I met Ferris by chance and acted together, but today, for some reason, her prophet John was with her.

John says that it was the weekend and he was wandering around the royal road to flirt with a cute girl.

She was Alan who said a word to John, saying that she was a useless meddler, but somehow she didn’t feel bad, so she went around the royal capital with John.

She couldn’t find Riel that day either.

On the third day, Alan, who also visited the Aurum Hall, was told that Riel was not in her dormitory.

But that wasn’t the end of the day.

“If you come back any more, I’ll report it to the top of the academy!”

The dormitory manager can’t help but roll his eyes when a male student comes to meet a certain female student for three days in a row.

She made an excuse to the dormitory manager, who looked at her suspiciously, that she only came to see her because they were childhood friends, but she didn’t believe it easily.

In the end, Alan, who left the aurum coffin behind, headed for the training ground.

She thought about going out to find Riel like yesterday, but she wasted two days and when she went out today, she felt like she wouldn’t be getting any results.

Rather, I thought it would be better to focus on self-discipline in order to get revenge on Kyo Wentos later.

Alan, who had been wielding a wooden sword for practice diligently for hours and sweating, heard a voice he had never heard before.

“Oh, what. It’s the weekend and there are people there?”

Alan stopped training at that voice and turned his head.

What caught his eye was a woman looking at him with her black hair tied down from above and wearing her training uniform.

She looked at the color of the stripes on the sleeves of her uniform, and she seemed to be a second year senior.

Alan bows his head slightly to show his respect.

The woman said to him.

“What, you don’t really need to stop? Why don’t you continue?”

“Ah… Four!”

Alan starts training again at her words.

In his mind, the movement of Kyo Wentos, whom he had recently dueled with, was being drawn.

His movements, which evaded his own attacks without getting hit and landed sharp counterattacks.

‘…It’s so fast that I can’t keep up with it now. …But, if only I could be faster and more accurate!’

A sense of selfishness that he will one day defeat him, and a twisted obsession with Riel, whom he has by his side.

A woman watching him training opened her mouth.

“Huh… This is really disastrous.”

“…What do you mean?”

“Your sword.”

A woman with a wrinkled expression clicked her tongue and said.

“What is the purpose of your training now?”

“I want to become stronger.”

“What are you going to do when you become stronger?”

Alan hesitated for a moment at the woman’s question.

“There is an opponent who was defeated a while ago. It is for the revenge.”

“Is that really all there is to it?”

“…What do you mean?”

The woman’s expression was still not good.

“Your sword itself’s speed, power, and technique aren’t too bad. The reason you’re training because you’re full of miasma… It’s for revenge, but that’s not a bad thing… But…”

“……”

“Your sword is full of selfishness. I feel something different from a pure desire to revenge.”

“It is…”

“It’s the sword I hate the most. That’s all.”

A woman who clicks her tongue, looks away from Alan and begins to focus on her own discipline.

Alan stood there idly by, then he decided to leave because he didn’t even have the motivation to train anymore.

‘Your sword is full of selfishness.’

A few times the woman’s words pierced his heart inside Alan, but Alan tried hard to ignore them.

In the end, there was no income that day either.

On the last day of the holiday period, she wanted to visit Riel, but she stopped going to the Aurum Hall because she thought the dormitory manager would be suspicious of her.

She was fine with training, but she didn’t really have the heart to train because of yesterday’s work.

In the end, Alan, who wandered around the royal capital aimlessly, joined John just like on the second day, and the two of them went out to play moderately.

She wandered around and looked around, just in case, but she couldn’t find Riel either.

The dormitory where Yohan lives is the Argen Hall, and Alan parted ways because it is far from the Coop Hall.

Back at his own dorm, Alan sat on the bed, leaning against the window, blankly.

After all, he never met Riel during the holidays. No, she didn’t even see it.

He wanted to try talking to her at least once, but she couldn’t.

Alan felt very miserable.

At that time, as he looked out the window, Alan’s eyes caught sight of the red hair he had longed for and longed for.

“…Riel?”

Yes, that fiery red hair must have been Riel.

Why did Riel come all the way to this Coop coffin…?

Maybe…?

Could it be that she also came to see me, Ri El?

With his small expectations in his heart, Alan eagerly ran down the stairs to get out of the dormitory.

And when I opened the front door, it was definitely Riel.

In Alan’s eyes, full of joy, he couldn’t even see Emilia Silbrate, who was saying goodbye to Riel.

Riel.

As expected, you wanted to meet me too!

You wanted to talk to me and clear up the misunderstanding!

Yeah, that’s what it was!

Because you and I are childhood friends…!

Thinking so, Alan tried to cover Riel, but another person approaching Riel came into her eyes.

Kyou Wentos.

He is the man who separated him from Riel.

As soon as he caught sight of him, Alan stopped in his tracks.

For just a second, he felt as if his eyes met him.

As he approached Riel, a deep smile spread across Riel’s face as if a flower had bloomed.

Riel gripped his hand with a bashful smile on her slightly reddened face.

Alan couldn’t even think of chasing the two of them, holding hands and walking with the Coop coffin behind them.

Behind them, I could see the back of a maid dragging two suitcases.

Kyo Wentos said he had definitely been back to his hometown.

And the fact that two people are together, and both have one suitcase…

‘Did the two of you go… Together?’

To the hometown of Kyo Wentos…?

Alan had no choice but to stand there blankly for a long time.
