After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

8 – Danya Katznesia

—

There was a sound of cutting the wind.

“Danya will give you a special team! For free!”

The girl who appeared in the blink of an eye was looking up at Ian.

A child with cherry-colored hair and prickly cat ears. Once she was small, she didn’t look that dangerous.

Besides, if you are a beastman, you are basically born with physical abilities. It will help you search the forest.

“……”

This time I glanced at Lina with a sidelong glance.

A look of bewilderment.

Her senses were definitely strange.

Because she was creeping this way, as if she wanted to be on the same team as she was just a moment ago.

A heroine who might be the culprit in the forest of shadows that no one knows even if they are buried.

It was the worst combination.

It was clear who to team up with.

Ian reached out to Danya, the child in front of her eyes.

“Yes. Let’s do it together.”

Danya smiled and shook her hand.

“You know I’m good at searching. hehehe. That’s a good choice.”

I liked that she wasn’t a heroine.

She seemed a little mistaken, but it was good nonetheless.

◆

There are several things to look forward to in this search exercise.

‘In the forest of shadows, one or two hidden pieces are worth hiding.’

The first is Hidden Peace.

The Shadow Forest is the place responsible for the gloomy and mysterious atmosphere in Panta X Arca.

There was little information about it because it was a non-playable region, but there was a good chance that there were hidden elements that could help growth.

And the second is a colleague.

‘Same with the disciplinary committee, and dealing with criminals. Having colleagues is a great help.’

Anyway, the more friends there are, the more helpful they are.

The problem is that it was difficult to approach the children easily because Pongpong’s reputation was the worst.

It was the reason why this situation was not bad now that we were in the same group as Danya.

‘The conversation is also quite fun.’

She had a bit of a tsun-tsuk side, but when she asked, she answered everything even though she was annoying.

— I hate pretense.

You have that kind of personality.

Is it like this when you get to know a stray cat who can talk?

Even if I stood up straight, I felt that way even more thanks to Ian’s small body that touched his chest.

‘I think I’ll become a cat mom.’

Ian had a lot of questions.

I was taking this opportunity to ask a lot of questions.

“If it’s because of magic detection, there were other kids besides me. Why me?”

“… I was curious because you seemed to have changed something.”

“Hmm. What’s the point?”

Danya looked back.

Even so, you managed to walk this forest path well.

“Your eyes have changed.”

Just as Ian looked at Danya curiously, Danya was also curious about Ian.

Danya saw Ian as an extremely light child.

A being who wandered about without being able to focus, with all of his attention focused outside of himself. That’s not nice, it’s stupid, she thought Danya often.

But what about Ian, who came back to school after a week?

Her eyes deepened. She

She’s not out there, she’s heading out for herself.

It was strange to Danya.

Such a change in Ian.

‘I’ve always looked at you with strange eyes…’

I don’t even have that kind of stickiness in my eyes right now.

‘Hmm.’

But it’s just that there’s no heat. It’s a bit strange looking. Eyes looking at something strange…?

It was a very sharp insight.

It was because Danya in front of Ian was strange. It walks while looking back, but it is a proud step that is not disturbed, and a tail that holds the center. Ears pricked here and there.

Those ears, tail… It’s a real beast. Number of people.

Danya’s eyes narrowed.

“You just thought I was being rude!”

This is why I hate wizard kids.

He pretends to be arrogant on the outside while thinking all sorts of insidious things on the inside.

“Well, you can see that.”

Danya was taken aback by Ian’s answer.

You just admit it so meekly?

I was about to get angry when he said it so honestly.

‘I wasn’t originally like this.’

It’s like I felt the honesty that I only felt with my clan friends for a moment.

“So, can I touch that ear? It’s so strange.”

“It will work!”

“Hmm, I guess that’s rude. I’m sorry. I misunderstood a game… No. I confused it with etiquette I know.”

“…If you say that much. I’ll accept it. Apologies.”

“Thank you.”

Danya looked ahead and bowed her head.

It was a bit hard to come to my senses.

You’re too honest to be honest.

Besides, it’s been so long since I’ve received a compliment saying thank you, so it was hard to hold back the corners of my mouth that kept going up.

I feel like losing if I just smirk.

Danya snapped.

“Huh! Of course you should thank me! Consider it an honor that Danya is on the same team!”

“Okay. Thank you.”

“Oh really!”

After exchanging stone fastballs a few times, the two quickly became close.

◆

Danya Catnesia.

The genius of the Catsunesia clan, one of the leading beastman clans on the continent. Although a member of the Catnesian clan, famous for their agility and good physical fitness, Danya was unusually talented in magic.

If you limit its range with magic, it’s to the point where it’s treated as a genius that only appears once every 100 years among the Beast Tribe.

However, after entering Lichten Academy, Danya’s self-esteem was gradually cracking.

He was treated as a magical genius only among his clan, but when he came to the academy, there were many people like him.

As proof of that, I couldn’t make it to the top integrated class ‘Ether’ and stayed in Mejai class like this.

In addition, it was difficult to practice magic due to the innate limitation of being a beastman.

If you are a wizard, you must absorb the mana that corresponds to your element among the various energies in nature.

But a beastman’s senses are sharp.

I felt countless types of energy, and the more I felt, the more difficult it was to find the elements I needed.

Su-in’s strength has become Danya’s weakness.

Danya thought.

I think it’s like an accidental bullet.

It might have been better not to have a talent for magic.

The moment when Danya became infinitely sullen.

‘Search practice!’

I am more confident than anyone else when it comes to walking around in nature.

Furthermore, the clan’s sacred ground is located at the northern end of the great mountain range. Dannya walked around the mountain range as if she were in and out of her room.

A search for the Shadow Forest is such a simple task.

‘Finally I can play an active part!’

Danya’s face began to lighten up.

‘A forest like this is nothing compared to the Great Mountains!’

As far as the kids in Mezai’s class are concerned, they’re all confined to their rooms. It’s a story about pale-faced wizards who only know what they’re proud of.

Danya clenched her fists.

‘Everyone will put it under me.’

From the nobility to the rich. Most families have children learning magic. It was difficult to get close to Danya because the education they were talking about was a pretense to Danya.

Finally, goodbye to the tearful grades of laying the floor!

◆

“Ah. That’s why you asked me to team up?”

Ian tilted his head as he walked behind Danya.

“But wouldn’t it be better to do it alone then?”

Entrance to the Shadow Forest.

Danya and Ian, who became a team, were walking on a forest path together.

Danya, who is confident in the forest, walks ahead and Ian follows.

Actually, Ian had some doubts.

Because Danya didn’t know why she suddenly wanted to be with herself and her team.

Thanks to her, I was able to break the awkwardness of our first meeting, so I asked her why.

Flinch. Danya’s shoulders trembled slightly.

The answer came after a while.

“… B. I can’t find traces of magic.”

Ian was convinced.

‘In the end, I wanted to play an active part in a class I was confident in.’

A choice to get her own performance stake as high as possible. It was for a reasonable reason.

“But why me?”

“Huh? It looks like you don’t have any friends.”

“……”

Ian was staggered by the suddenly thrown fastball.

He knows how to throw a fastball.

In fact, there are bound to be things that are in common with each other.

That’s ‘Oh, he’s cheap too!’ Was it the welcome, or ‘I’m different from you?’ It was a sense of discrimination.

‘Danya looks like the latter.’

Although ‘tsundere’ seemed to be a bit stronger than tsundere. Anyway, there’s no reason to be wary.

Ian let out a light sigh.

I can’t believe the approaching children have to be suspicious like this at least once. To that extent, the influence of the heroines, who are the protagonists of the story, was strong.

‘Anyway.’

Ian is basically the type of person who gives as much as he receives.

Now that I received the stone fastball, it was my turn to return it.

The time I became an observer in Pompong’s body.

Of course, I had a chance to check the atmosphere of the class for a while.

Danya, even if it’s not to the extent of Pongpong, it’s a child who falls into the realm of an ass.

“So you should thank me.”

Ian smiled broadly at Danya who cast such gaslighting.

“Didn’t you have no friends too?”

It’s hot.

Suddenly Danya approached a nearby flower.

“Oh, oh! These are really pretty flowers.”

Yes. It’s all about reading textbooks.

You hit the right spot.

Ian smiled.

Anyway, a beastman wizard.

‘It’s definitely a rare tech tree.’

Ian remembered the strategies of Panta X Arca.

Among them, there must have been a number of wizards.

How are those things in your head?

‘Because they’re all strategies written by me.’

Ian has the personality to think that poop is poop only when he eats it.

Thanks to that, I wrote down a lot of infinitely perverted strategies.

‘I remembered.’

Beast wizard.

Of course, it is an infinitely perverted parenting concept, but if possible, the potential is infinitely high.

Beastman’s unique sharp sense, which used to be an obstacle in learning mana, at some point becomes a rocket launcher that uses that obstacle as a stepping stone.

Ian looked at Danya, who was walking ahead.

A wagging tail. Prick ears.

‘I don’t think it would be bad to try growing one?’

Panta X Arca boasts a level of difficulty that is difficult to overcome alone.

The story of being forced to use a 5-star heroine.

However, if we can raise children whose potential has not yet bloomed like this.

‘It will be a great breakthrough.’

Of course, there is no reason to rush.

First, after you grow up.

I’ll be able to take care of what’s left.
