The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

94 – [Abduction] Saint Valentine’s Day.

A story that happened last winter.

It was the end of winter.

We finished our underclass at the academy, passed the promotion exam, and now we are back in the royal capital after an eventful winter vacation.

The biggest concern of students who are about to be promoted to upper class is none other than their career path.

Unlike when you were a junior student taking common subjects, you will receive a curriculum tailored to your career path when you become an upperclassman.

Usually, like me, heirs who will inherit the family enter the Department of Politics, where they learn mostly about politics and manor management.

However, in the case of our County of Wentos, there was a tendency to require more strategy and martial arts than territory management due to the territory suffering from monster invasion every year.

Since most of the territories are also made up of northern natives, there are fewer problems if you supervise and properly coordinate the territories rather than trying to manage them.

So, it was already decided that I would be promoted to the martial arts department.

Riel was a bit worried, but she had a talent for magic and a desire to rise, so she planned to be promoted to the magic department along with her friend Emilia.

Of course, it was a relaxed time for those like us who had already decided which department to advance to, but it was also a time of concern for those who hadn’t decided.

Typically, in Arya Owen’s case, she was contemplating whether to advance to the Department of Magic or the Department of Commerce.

It was with her new school just around the corner that she decided to go to her commercial department.

And then the academy opened, and we became upperclassmen.

The time when new students entered the school and everyone started to adapt to the new class, ‘that day’ arrived.

That morning wasn’t too different from usual.

“Bocchan, it’s morning.”

Because it was a time when I was getting used to the new class, I was sleeping more than usual.

That’s why I always overslept every morning, and there were days when Phyllis came to wake me up.

“Ugh…Good morning. Phyllis.”

“Yes, good morning, young master.”

Get up, wash your face, get dressed and behave yourself properly.

And while she was eating the simple breakfast Phyllis had prepared for her, she put something of hers on the table that Phyllis had prepared for her.

“Brother, this is a present for Saint Valentine’s Day.”

“Huh? Is it that time already?”

Saint Valentin’s Day.

In the past, there was a magician named Valentin who was called a saint.

True to his title, he went around helping people using his own honed magic.

It is said that his magical skills were so great that he was able to bring rain to areas suffering from drought and enrich the poor harvest fields.

As he helped people, he hoped that the people he helped would someday be able to help others.

In honor of his mindset, the spirit of exchanging hearts with each other continued even after his death, and it is said that later it became an anniversary for women to present sweet snacks to men.

It was the day when the confectionery craftsmen of decades ago, who roughly made up the story of “…”, Worked.

We can’t even confirm that the person named Saint Valentin actually existed.

…And, well, it’s just Valentine’s Day in modern terms.

What Phyllis gave me was a cookie with sweet honey in it.

Sweeteners are very expensive in this world, so even these cookies are expensive.

“Coming to think of it, I always get cookies from Phyllis on Valentine’s Day.”

“Because you are the one who gave me a second life. This much is nothing.”

After finishing the meal, I took a bite of Phyllis’ cookie.

The sweet taste spread all over my mouth.

“And, this Valentine’s Day might be special, right?”

“Uh…Yes. That’s right…”

For a moment, what came to her mind was the face of a girl with red hair and a shy smile.

Entering the martial arts classroom, the scene that came into my eyes was literally hell.

“…Gift…Gift…”

“Academy…If you enter the academy, you can get a Valentine’s gift…”

Boys thirsty for gifts for Valentine’s Day.

Of course, we saw a similar scene last year, but especially since the martial arts department had a male student ratio of 70%, the degree of hell was more serious than at that time.

Every time a few female students enter, the eyes of the male students, like hungry wolves, are directed at them.

Unsurprisingly, most of the female students were startled by those eyes, so it wasn’t a very nice sight to see.

In this situation, what would happen if a male student received a Valentine’s gift?

The results were visible shortly after.

“Lexian, this is a Valentine’s Day present.”

“Ohh! Thanks Millenia!”

“Whoops, there’s nothing between us to be so thankful for, right?”

The moment a female student wearing a commerce department badge on her chest entered our classroom and gave a male student a Valentine’s gift, the energy that was swirling around her instantly cooled down.

And what unfolds before your eyes is the image of a loving lover giving and receiving a Valentine’s gift.

And the moment the female students left the classroom, our poor Lexian disappeared in an instant.

…After a while, I was able to confirm Lexian-kun hanging at the back of the classroom.

A truly monstrous abduction and processing speed.

…Don’t use the superior physical ability of the martial arts department like this.

After looking up at poor Lexian-kun with an eye of pity, I sat down and looked around.

Damn it, everyone has a taste for their eyes.

“Louis! This is a gift!”

“A gift from Balletine? Thanks so much Klose!”

The second victim is Louis, a commoner.

He smiled and accepted a Valentine’s gift from his girlfriend, Miss Layla.

And when Miss Layla left, she let out a word with her eyes closed.

“…Do it. No regrets.”

And then, Louis also disappeared from the spot and was found behind the classroom.

…In this way, the number of victims who were already being dealt with by the hungry Valentin wolves was increasing little by little.

To be honest, I was a little nervous too.

This morning, I heard from Phyllis that Riel was preparing a present for Valentine’s Day with all her heart and soul.

Depending on when that gift arrives, the timing of my fate will also change.

At that moment, I heard the classroom door open.

“Huh?!”

The one who entered the classroom was Ferris Valtreia, who belonged to the same martial arts department.

As soon as she entered the classroom, she let out a short scream as she was startled by the gazes gathering on her.

…Unfortunately.

She, who is still on the weak side, looked around her with her uneasy eyes, then sat down in her own seat.

Then, after rummaging through something in my bag, I stood up.

Seeing that figure, the wolves’ eyes focused on Ferris.

Ferris, who got up from his seat, moved to her feet even though he was intimidated by her gaze…

Huh?

But why are you on my side?

“Hey, this is a gift.”

What she held out was a small package containing a round cookie.

Anyone can tell that this is a gift of loyalty.

She slowly returned to her seat with her slight smile.

…But I was going to die.

As I was raising my tension while preparing for the critical situation that would follow, I heard a small voice.

“Be loyal…”

“Loyalty…Loyalty is put on hold…That’s how it was decided.”

“…Creeping…”

What is it?

When did you decide that?

After that, the suspenseful experience continued.

“Please take this. Please take good care of our business in the future.”

Arya Owen gave a gift of loyalty.

“Senior! This is a Valentine’s gift! Please take good care of me next time!”

Her junior, Chloe Eleira, whom I got to know not too long ago, gave her a gift of loyalty.

“I think Riel prepared really well! Oh, please accept mine as well!”

Emilia Silvrate also gave gifts of loyalty.

“Kuh…”

“You’re still loyal… Hold on…”

“But 4 loyalties…Isn’t this already a smash issue?”

As the gifts of loyalty increase, the viciousness transmitted from the surroundings also strengthens.

I just wished that this hellish morning would end soon.

And at that time, she appeared to decorate her climax.

A charming girl with red hair who wears magic and insignia on her chest. Riel Ignis.

As soon as she appeared, all eyes were on her.

“?!”

Riel flinched as if slightly surprised, but she let out a clearing of her throat and moved on.

In front of me, of course.

“Kyou!”

“Riel, welcome.”

What is it?

Until recently, she was so anxious that she wondered if she would have to prepare for how she would die, but seeing her smile made her feel better.

“Hey! It’s a Valentine’s Day gift!”

“Thank you so much!”

What she held out was a fairly large gift package.

“Unlock it!”

“Yes!”

As she urged her to unpack the package, what caught her eye was something amazing.

“Chocolate…?”

“Yes! I worked hard to save you!”

Sweeteners are still lacking, but when it comes to chocolate, of course, they boast ultra-high prices.

Even chocolates the size of chocolates with numbers or English written on them in a previous life boast eye-popping prices.

The sight of such chocolate being packaged in the shape of such a large heart seemed to show off the wealth of the duke.

“And I’ve prepared another present for you!”

“…What?”

“Eight!”

As soon as Riel’s voice came closer, something soft touched her lips.

The accident stopped for a while.

When she came to her senses, Riel, her face flushed, was smiling shyly.

“Then…Then enjoy the present! I’m going!!”

Riel sprinted out of her classroom, smiling shyly at her flushed face.

I still couldn’t come to my senses, but I came to my senses at the killing spree.

“… Smashed.”

“It’s smashed.”

“Hang it.”

…Yes. Try it.

I have no regrets.

I thought I could understand what Louis-kun said earlier.

“A gift?”

“Let’s take it and destroy it.”

“Let us eat it.”

However, this statement crosses the line.

My fists tightened up on their own, and I threw the glasses I had on my face.

“If you can, do it! You wild beasts!!”

That day was recorded in the history of Gransen Academy as a 1 vs. 30 Valentin’s Day battle, to the extent that it was mentioned by juniors.
