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

9 – Lina Roswell is suspicious.

“Oh that’s right. It’s all.”

“Huh?”

“What do you think of Lena Roswell? Have you seen anything strange lately?”

Ian was constantly suspicious of whether or not Lena Roswell was the culprit.

But Lina is a kind and bright child.

This means that you can’t just ask classmates for information about Lina.

In fact, even in Fanta x Arca, heroin popularity polls always rank high.

To be honest, just thinking about her profile, it was hard to imagine that Lina was the culprit.

‘That’s why she looks more likely.’

Because all of that could be just an appearance.

The culprit goes undetected by anyone.

Only that crazy developer noticed.

What if Lina’s appearance was a perfect mask?

‘It’s creepy.’

After all, she has to find the perfect reason since she started to doubt the heroines.

Proof that someone tried to kill Pongpong, now Ian himself, and is still trying to kill him.

Or the conviction that she is a non-virgin…

Unexpectedly, listening to the rumors of people around you is a pretty good way to start an investigation.

And it occurred to me that Danya, who had no friends, could gather information about Lina Roswell with some safety.

“Hmm…”

She thought for a moment, then Danya opened her mouth.

“Lina is definitely nice for our class.”

At Danya’s words, Ian touched her chin.

‘…Is it me?’

As expected, the title of No. 1, The heroine you want to be friends with the most in ‘Panta X Arca’, is not for everyone.

“Is it because you deal with spirits, not wizards? I like it.”

Danya’s tendency is to be spontaneous.

In short, Lina Roswell is an insider you want to get close to, certified by Danya, a voluntary assine.

“Chi, I don’t want to get close!”

Danya is excited! She distanced herself.

Anyway, her tail and ears are honest.

It was Ian who was slowly learning how to read Danya’s heart. However, it was clear that she would get upset if she continued to tease her, so she decided to agree with Danya’s words.

“I get it, I admit it. But what I’m curious about is whether Lina has done anything unusual or strange-looking lately.”

Hmm.

Danya, who had narrowed her brows for a moment, opened her mouth with an ah!

“You’re trying to stalk him again.”

A thrill.

A sharp look that says yes.

Her Ian thought of an excuse while feeling unfair.

“It’s not like that. I was just wondering if something happened while I was gone.”

“Hmm…”

Danya’s suspicious look.

When Ian raised her hands to claim her innocence, Danya answered, finally loosening her brows.

“I saw her walking around with a lot of red stuff on her mouth not too long ago.”

“…The red one?”

“Yeah. And yet… It’s still not enough. He was muttering something like that to himself. He looked a lot different from Rina. But why are you asking this?”

“Nothing.”

She said that, but Ian got chills behind her.

The Lina Ian observed was definitely different from her original self.

‘She looked at me as if she was looking for prey, or tried to sneak up on me earlier.’

Sudden abnormal behavior.

It would be strange if her suspicions did not go away.

‘… You seem to need to be seriously suspicious.’

Lina’s fear lies not only in her abilities, but also in her personality itself. She has such an affinity that even Danya wants to be friends with her. As a result, her popularity within the academy has built up.

We need to approach it as carefully as possible.

“……”

Ian looked intently at Danya.

If it wasn’t for him, I would have been in real trouble.

“Why… Why do you look at me like that?”

If you came to this forest on the same team as Lina… Well. Couldn’t it have been manure for those big trees?

At least the moment she refused her offer, she could have angered her or made enemies of her children who envied her.

‘… It’s just the assumption that Lina was the culprit.’

Still, it is also true that the possibility of danger has decreased since Danya suddenly asked to form a team.

Suddenly, I was extremely grateful to Danya in front of me.

“Thank you, Danya.”

“…Nyan? Heh, heh? Why?”

Was it too sudden to express gratitude?

Danya shrieked in embarrassment and turned around.

“No what. Just this and that.”

“……”

Danya stared at her blankly, then turned her head away.

Mmm. Are you angry?

“If you really appreciate it, can you join the same team next time?”

I think I misunderstood something.

Looking at his pricked ears, he seems to be in a good mood.

Let’s have fun.

◆

Danya was struggling.

He was concentrating his whole mind on lowering the corner of his mouth that was about to go up.

“Hey!”

I was able to stop the corner of my mouth trying to climb after getting caught on a tree root and doing a funny pose.

‘Whew.’

It was just a word of thanks.

Why am I in such a good mood?

After much thought, Danya quickly realized the reason.

‘It’s been a while since someone said thank you.’

It’s been a long time since I’ve received thanks and compliments.

It’s been quite a while since I left the clan’s sacred ground.

There were people he knew only there, and he also had the characteristic of being one of the few magical users, so it wasn’t difficult to receive gratitude, praise, or admiration for being great.

‘But at the academy…’

There were times when she chose the path of an assa, and there were times when she was unable to express her talents due to the limitations of her hands. She’s just an ordinary kid, nothing special.

Praise and thanks.

It was too far for Danya.

Danya didn’t notice, but she was also the reason for her low self-esteem.

In such a situation, it’s strange that the corner of your mouth doesn’t go up when someone suddenly says thank you.

No matter how out of the blue it came out, no, rather, that’s why it touched Danya greatly.

‘Maybe he’s a surprisingly good boy?’

A glance, a glance.

As Danya went ahead, she peeked at Ian.

Honestly, when I first proposed to team up with Ian, I was worried. Even if she seems to have changed a bit, maybe something happened just for a second? Worry about.

But it must have been a mistake.

Without looking at you with strange eyes.

I don’t even bother.

Besides, she was pretty damn good.

I could see that she was trying hard to practice.

Danaya ‘I’m going to flatten my classmates’ noses with this opportunity!’ He had a goal, but why is he working so hard? As much as I think.

Even if it was this forest road, there was no difficulty walking because Danya was used to it.

In the case of Ian.

“Oops.”

Sometimes it gets caught on a tree vine and stumbles, but it follows it without saying anything.

‘I wasn’t originally that kind of kid.’

I wondered why he was working so hard.

I naturally have a desire to encourage something.

‘No, not that far!’

Doridori.

As Danya shook her head, she saw a vine in front of Ian’s feet.

‘Ah, that vine over there…’

“Oops.”

While thinking about whether I should tell him, Ian stepped on it and stumbled.

… Oh really.

Seeing that pitiful figure, Danya unknowingly fired a shot.

“Oh really. Are you stupid?”

“Sorry.”

“Hmph. I knew it. It’s a burden.”

You grumble like that and then jump forward with a big jump.

“…The ground is damp over here, so were you careful?”

I was a little embarrassed, so I muttered in a barely audible voice.

No matter what, people who work hard will want to help.

◆

You have to be strong.

In order not to be killed by a non-virgin heroine, in order to get through the scenarios that will unfold in the future.

Of course, these reasons were also motivations for seeking growth.

But above all.

‘The process of becoming stronger is fun.’

We are working hard for growth itself.

Enjoy training and use it as a driving force to grow. Repetition of the process.

It is surprisingly easy and enjoyable.

Because Pongpong just had to turn the direction of the energy he was pouring into others toward himself.

‘I’d rather pour that energy into myself instead of pouring it into others like Pong Pong.’

This was also the content that Pongpong personally proved as a saint.

Therefore, I do my best to take classes at the academy.

– Find objects or traces of magic.

I do my best in practice with a mindset of training.

Actually, the performance wasn’t bad, probably because of Pongpong’s original talent.

“Danya. Hold on.”

“Yes.”

“I feel magic on the right side. It’s about 2 meters high. Yes, that side.”

“I found it.”

“Nice.”

The team play with Danya was also good.

‘It fits well.’

Danya finds her way or works hard.

Ian detects magic and finds targets.

I already have more than five to six magic orbs in my hands.

“Huh! It’s all thanks to my excellence!”

“Yes, yes. It’s all thanks to you. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to collect the beads hanging from the trees.”

“Ugh…”

It was also fun to make fun of Danya, who is weak in compliments.

Its tail wags even if you give it a little praise.

But somehow the corners of his mouth twitch to keep his expressionless.

‘It helps a lot.’

As small as it was, it was nimble and agile.

It looked like a real cat was playing in the forest.

“Of course!

Do you stumble while walking with your face upright?

As I smiled, I naturally questioned him.

‘Why wasn’t this a public character?’

Danya Catnesia.

No matter how many times I thought about it, the only thing that came to my mind was the Caster Nats (instrument). If he had this kind of presence, he would have stood out quite a bit in ‘Panta X Arca’.

Even a small gesture appeals to a certain class. Appearance is not pushed anywhere.

The setting of being a wizard despite being a beast was also unique. Why wasn’t it released as a public character?

What was the story?

While I was thinking about something else for a while, Danya stopped ahead.

“… I think it came pretty deep.”

Ian looked around.

The brightness has definitely gone dark.

When I raised my head, there were towering trees that were well over ten meters.

The sunlight coming through the cracks in the dense leaves illuminates the surroundings dimly, like the afternoon on a cloudy day.

The flow of magical power you can feel when you close your eyes.

I felt the magic of the great energy that I was tracking with Danya a little more intensely.

“The flow of magical power is definitely getting stronger.”

“Then I guess this direction is correct…”

Danya, who was muttering that, suddenly sniffed her.

“Wait… Something smelled.”

Danya sprints forward.

She followed and walked towards her crouch.

“…Look at this.”

There was no need to follow Danya’s instructions.

Because I could see it at a glance even from afar.

There were large footprints, more than twice the size of Danya.
