The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

86 – Academy Seniors

More than a year had passed since Riel and I got engaged.

Gransen Academy is a two-year education.

We were already in the middle of the twilight of our academy life as we had risen to upperclassmen.

“Brother, this way.”

“Oh.”

I made an appointment with my younger brother Asta on a holiday and met Asta at a teahouse in the capital.

Since it was a holiday, Asta was sitting in her seat and waving her hand at me.

“It’s been a while, Asta.”

“Yes. I am glad that you are well.”

It has been more than half a year since Asta entered Grancen Academy as a freshman along with Kino.

We could see each other often at the beginning of the semester, but we are busy preparing for graduation and freshmen are also busy preparing for promotion exams.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen his face, even though he’s a family member, so I felt very welcome to see his brother’s face.

“How’s Kino doing?”

“Yes, I was worried, but you seem to have made quite a few friends.”

“Well, the worries I had at the beginning of the semester must have been for nothing.”

Kino was still less than 2 years old, and since she is not good at dealing with people, she was very worried.

But maybe it’s because of her second middle school illness, she seems to date a lot of same-s*x friends with similar sensibilities (?).

Can this be considered a consolation on the phone?

I faced Asta with mixed emotions.

“So, you said there was something you wanted to discuss?”

“Yes. That’s it.”

Asta’s expression was unusually serious.

Although this guy asked for counseling a few times at the beginning of the semester, most of them were about attitude toward women.

As I was worried about, there were quite a few female students approaching Asta.

The problem was, however, that most of them were serpentine-like women who clung to each other for the wealth or power of Count Wentos.

‘Haa, since I’m the second son, I thought it wouldn’t be worth it.’

Asta used to grumble like this at the time.

Well, that’s not wrong.

As long as there is no major disqualification for the eldest son, the right of succession is usually concentrated on the eldest son.

Even so, it does not mean that there is nothing going back to Asta.

I’m not a ruthless guy to the point of leaving my little sister alone, and Asta is a very capable guy too.

With this guy, even if it’s hard for her to get a title, she thinks she can get at least one fairly high official position.

And as she just said, she doesn’t have anything to go back to Asta.

It is no exaggeration to say that the assets of the Earl of Wentos are truly the best in the kingdom.

She invests most of her assets in the development and welfare of her estate, so her assets are formidable.

She could live comfortably for the rest of her life if she inherited just a portion of those assets, but she couldn’t help but target Asta.

Me?

In my case, before I came to her academy, I already had a fiancé named Liliana, and right after we broke up with her, she took over the position.

The second daughter of her ducal family is holding onto the spot, and who would come to her with a swollen liver?

She can be said that there are not many female students with whom I am personally close.

…No, it’s not that there isn’t anything at all.

The story leaked elsewhere.

Anyway, I consulted several times at the beginning of the semester, but it was the first time I asked for a consultation with such a serious face.

I quietly waited for Asta to open his mouth.

“I… Brother…”

“Yes, tell me.”

“What should I do to ask that…Woman out on a date?”

“What?”

……

I felt like I had been hit in the head hard.

Are you asking a woman out on a date?

Has this guy finally got a girl?

“Uh…Yes, you mean a date…?”

“Yes! It’s a date!!”

…Um.

How should I explain this?

No, that’s not it.

“Who are you?”

“Yes?”

“Who is the opponent?”

“Uh… That… That’s it.”

Asta’s face turned red.

This guy, after having such a hard time with women, finally came out with a woman who captured him?

As her older brother, wouldn’t it be good to know about the other person?

“That…That’s why…Miss Vaniela.”

“Vaniella? Miss Vaniela Grace?”

“Yes…Yes! This is the second daughter of the Duke of Grace.”

…Huh.

About a year ago, she tossed the daughter of Duke Vaniela to Asta to get used to women.

She also entered the same first year, and I heard that she seems to get along well with her height.

I can’t believe that Asta fell in love with her.

“Hmm…If you’re a duke’s daughter, it’s going to be difficult to ask for a normal date. Will my advice be helpful?”

“That…But isn’t Sister Riel also the daughter of the duke?”

“No, I do.”

As for Riel, well, it’s a bit of a special case, so my experience won’t help.

Vaniella Grace, of course, was a bit peculiar.

What should I say, she is a bit like a retriever.

So to be honest, I think I’d like pretty much any date.

But I can’t decide on my own.

I ended up giving only a few tips, and then I had no choice but to go into details.

“Asta.”

“Yes…Yes!”

“…Don’t blindly trust what I’ve taught you, ask Kino too.”

“……”

Asta, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry for being incompetent in love.

After breaking up with Asta, the king came out to the streets.

A year has passed, but the streets of Wangdo haven’t changed that much.

The shops, people, and streets are the same.

Well, what can change drastically in just one year?

“One please.”

“Yes, here it is.”

They were selling food, so I paid and bought one.

Roasted Wheat Dough…Similar to tortillas, but similar to tacos filled with ingredients in slightly thicker dough and baked.

It is a food that has spread widely in kingdoms and empires, but it is fun to eat because the ingredients that go into each region are different.

In the royal capital, it seems that only a small amount of meat is included, mainly vegetables.

I felt a bit disappointed because the northern food, which contains a lot of meat, suited my taste.

As I was passing by, I heard a commotion.

“It’s a thief!”

A thief in broad daylight in the royal capital?

He’s a big guy.

As I was thinking that, I saw a man jumping up and down.

Judging from the fact that he was holding a woman’s bag in one hand, it seemed right that he was a thief.

Well, it’s none of my business, even if I just leave it alone…

“Kyaaah!!”

“Watch out everyone! They have weapons!”

…Come to think of it, he’s holding a blade in his other hand.

A real madman in the capital in broad daylight. Have you been drinking?

No matter how hard it was, I couldn’t leave him walking around with a weapon.

As I stood in front of the man running, his eyes turned to me.

The man squeezed the blade in his hand as he widened his eyes.

That’s really nothing to see.

Puck!!

“Damn it!”

With a shriek, the man collapsed.

I picked up the sword in its sheath and put it back around my waist, kicking the blade the man was holding away and blowing it away.

Well, it’s probably useless since he’s already passed out.

“Got it!”

Guards swiftly restrain the fallen man.

One of the guards bowed his head and thanked him for his cooperation, and he responded by raising his hand roughly, then left the place.

I think I would get tired if I stayed outside all the time, and when I wanted to go back to the dormitory, there was someone talking to me next to me.

“Wow, a terrifyingly fast back of the neck shot, I wouldn’t have seen it if it wasn’t for me?”

“You…”

“Then why didn’t you do it with your bare hands and hit it with a scabbard?”

“If you do it with your hands, only my hands hurt. Rather than that, why are you here again?”

The girl was giggling and looking at me.

My freshman year junior, Chloe Eleira.

She is a junior heroine appearing in the latter half of the original work, and it was set up that she has an excellent fighting sense…

Her hair color is pink.

Yes, that… Pink hair is a hair color that is often seen in subcultures… But what is it?

Looking at it in real life, it’s very awkward.

What the hell is pink hair, I haven’t seen it since I came to this world.

“That’s what I want to say. Why are you taking pictures of solitude in a place like this? You weren’t with Riel-senpai?”

“Riel has appointments with her friends, so she’s out. She has appointments with me too, and she’s on her way back.”

“Hmm… Do you two spend days apart?”

…What does he see me and Riel as?

Well, although they often stick together, they are still independent entities, right?

Anyway, earlier, I said that it’s not that there aren’t any girls I’m close with privately, but this girl is the case that there aren’t any.

Chloe Eleira appeared as the heroine in the original story, and of course she came in as a freshman when I was in my sophomore year.

What should I say about him?

“So, senpai, do you have a lot of time? Would you mind sparring with me?”

“…You did that a while ago.”

“Ah, sparring is good when you can.”

Mad about her self-discipline.

I didn’t know that the one-word setting of striving for training, a setting that came out of the original work, had this meaning.

Maybe that’s why, unlike the girls who hang around for other purposes, this guy literally approached me for the purpose of training.

Really, 0% disinterested.

Maybe that’s why, far from paying attention to Riel, she treats Riel kindly.

“You jumped that much on a snowy mountain not too long ago.”

“Ah, the snowy mountains were good! I heard that Iris sunbaenim also trained in the snowy mountains during his academy days, right?”

After Iris-senpai graduated from her academy, she was invited by His Highness Aine and became a knight directly under His Highness.

It is ironic that two people who were hostile to each other in the original work became a relationship between a superior and a subordinate.

Well, anyway, we still keep in touch, and recently during summer training, we met for the first time in a while.

And of course, Miss Chloe, mad about her self-discipline, where she got her information from, followed her to the county and participated in the training.

… And she became very close with Iris-senpai because she was right.

Well, Iris-senpai is also a person who is devoted to her self-discipline, so I think she would fit well.

“Yeah? It’s fine, right~ Seniors will be free anyway.”

“No, why are you always begging me to fight?”

“But there’s no good matchup other than seniors. Everyone is weak.”

“Isn’t there Astar?”

“Your younger brother isn’t weak either, but these days, if you look at me, your tail will quickly run away.”

That’s because at that time you caught the child as if you were fighting…

I swallowed those words and scratched her head.

Well, Riel thinks she’ll come back around sunset today, and it’s true that she has time left.

It would be nice for her to hang out with her juniors sometimes.

I also have no intention of neglecting my training.

“Okay, okay. Let’s go.”

“As expected! I knew you would do that!”

Inside the academy grounds, Chloe’s steps towards the gym seemed very light.

No, he’s even humming.

“But why are you out on the street?”

“Yes? That’s why I came out to find a senior for sparring.”

“…A kid like you.”
