The Extra's Return

70 The Main Heroine

Have you ever experienced something valuable stolen from you?

When something of value that belonged to you was stolen, you would be very angry.

Why would I say something like that?

Because I had been committing theft.

But I didn't steal things, I stole the start. I stole the start from the Adventurers who were preparing to advance on Veronica.

Breaking out of the crowd, I moved faster than everyone. I swerved to avoid the bodies of several Adventurers.

In the blink of an eye, I was already in front of the reception desk, where behind the reception desk was Veronica.

I did it as naturally as possible as if I had originally been near the reception desk.

"Can you show me the list of quests I can take?"

I placed my adventurer card in front of Veronica.

Since I was still doing my own thing, and ignoring the commotion, it was obvious that I would become everyone's focus. I became a conspicuous person.

Inevitably, people started to stop in the middle of the road and started to notice me.

The gaze of everyone's eyes from behind my body was piercing. However, I tried to endure.

'It's useless if you were glaring at me like that. I won't leave.'

How should I put it... was this the nature of Individualism in modern terms? Maybe that's the right name for what I did. I was self-centered and became the one who stole the start.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, I was still waiting for a response from Veronica.

Amidst the frozen situation, I felt the most hostile gazes from the people behind me.

Of course, the one who showed the most emotion of anger was Old Butler.

"Who are you? Get out of here if you don't want to catch that woman!"

When he asked me, he looked very angry. Obviously, he was very disturbed by my presence.

"And if I don't want to?"

"Then I'll make you regret interfering, Young Kid."

I saw a horde of Adventurers ready to take orders from Old Butler.

"Are you going to tell them to attack me? Don't you dare to do it with your own hands?"

"Ahaha. Are you trying to provoke me? A child who only has a pretty face like you? It's useless. Since you're already so bold, I'll be sure to make you kneel."

I knew the reason he was so confident.

The average adventurer here, who was ready to take orders from the old butler, was a low-ranked adventurer.

That was one of the reasons why he was so confident.

If it was those high-ranked Adventurers, then there would be no one willing to follow the old butler's persuasion.

It was an unwritten rule that the affairs of Adventurers and nobles should be kept separate. Because they thought that Adventurers were not the dogs of nobles.

Only low-ranking Adventurers could be blinded by the lure of an old butler's reward.

And the second reason, as well as the most important reason, was that the leader of the Burgenfield City branch of the Adventurer's Association was on his side.

From behind, Fat Pig suddenly came and whispered something in the old butler's ear. "If you want to get rid of him, I can do it for you. I happen to have a problem with him."

Old Butler smiled.

"Remember, little one. This is called noble supremacy."

He proudly said.

"Okay. Finish him off! I'll take the responsibility."

As soon as Old Butler gave the order, the Fat Pig was elated. Now he had support behind him. It was clear he wasn't afraid anymore.

The fat pig immediately drew the sword at his waist.

"Buhihi. I will make you a cripple."

Fat Pig advanced slowly to attack me.

Every step he took made the fat in his body tremor.

Even though I knew I would be attacked, I just stood in front of the reception desk without moving.

Veronica, who saw that I was about to be attacked by Fat Pig, was about to shoot an ink bottle at Fat Pig's head.

From the look in her eyes, she was already aiming for Fat Pig's round head.

When she raised the ink bottle, I stopped what she was about to do.

She was confused because I didn't want her to help. Not because I wanted to defeat Fat Pig and become the main character of this incident, but because I was waiting for someone to arrive.

I told Veronica that someone else would be the main character in this incident.

Surprisingly, Veronica seemed to understand what I meant.

'When will she come?'

Actually, I had been waiting for someone to arrive. I was just stalling for time.

That person will be the one who will solve the problem here.

Just when I was hesitating whether or not I should interfere in this matter, I could hear footsteps and the distinctive flow of Mana from outside. It happened when I used the Hear of Everything Skill.

And at that moment, I realized that, with her presence, the problem here could be solved.

I was worried that the person I was referring to would be late. But that didn't seem to be the case.

The person came from the front door.

She came just as Fat Pig was about to attack me. The sword in Fat Pig's hand was already floating in the air, ready to slash at me.

Jumping from the entrance, in the blink of an eye, she was already in front of me and successfully blocked Fat Pig's attack.

Ka-clank!

***

A few minutes earlier.

In the street, there was someone heading toward the Adventurers Association headquarters building.

On her back was an enormous shield.

The clothes she wore looked like the clothes worn by poor people. Her clothes are shabby but still worth wearing.

Walking with a sack on her shoulder, she seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

She had just completed a hunting mission inside a dungeon near Burgenfield city.

Therefore, in the sack that she carried on her shoulders, there were many Magic Crystals.

By selling Magic Crystals at the Adventurer's Association headquarters, he would earn a lot of money.

Money always manages to put one in a good mood.

"With results like this, the kids will be happy."

She couldn't remove the happy smile from her mouth.

It was only natural that she could get a lot of Magic Crystals. Because she was a famous adventurer in this city.

The Adventurer's Card that showed her rank hung clearly around her neck.

[Adventurer Card

Name: Jeanne

Rank: B

Position: Tanker.]

Rank B.

For a seventeen-year-old youngster, that was a very high achievement.

Even though she could earn a lot of money every time she finished a quest, she still wore ordinary clothes.

She had never invested money in equipment. Hence she still wore ordinary clothes without any armor.

Perhaps she would only spare a little money to buy a shield, which was her main weapon, but other than the shield, she had no other equipment.

"Hehehe, I can't wait to see the kids' reactions. Should I buy them something later, before I meet them? But first, I have to go to the Association and exchange all these Magic Crystals."

She was already thinking about how she would spend the money.

If you were asking where all the money she was accumulating all this time went until she never took care of herself? Then as she said, she used most of the money she had earned to support the children in the orphanage.

It was her nature to help children who were in trouble.

With a smiling face, she entered the headquarters of the Adventurers' Association... Only to see an unpleasant sight.

Inside, she saw people milling around and making a mess.

The good mood she had earlier disappeared when she discovered the chaos inside the Adventurer's Association.

At the center of the chaos, she saw a young boy around her age, with his face as a plus point, being attacked by someone who looked like Fat Pig.

Seeing that, she immediately dropped the sack she was carrying and took out the shield on her back.

She ran and managed to withstand Fat Pig's attack. She managed to protect the young boy who looked very weak.

Ka-clank!

Fat Pig's sword flew away as soon as it encountered her shield.

***

The sound of hard objects hitting echoed.

Fat Pig's sword was stopped without difficulty by her.

The shield that she used to withstand Fat Pig's attack was very enormous.

But I was more focused on seeing her.

She was a beautiful girl.

Her short hair seemed to dance before my eyes.

Her body was slim and her height was almost the same as mine.

Even though I saw her from behind, I clearly recognized her very well. The crumpled, shabby, dusty clothes that hugged her were her trademark.

Her red hair color and thunderous aura match the description in the novel Demon Lord and Hero of Light.

Although in the current timeline, she looks very young, and the aura she has was still not very thick, you would know that she was not an ordinary person at one glance.

Her name was Jeanne.

The main heroine in the novel Demon Lord and Hero of Light.

'Finally, the main actresses in this drama appeared too.'
