I Became an Extra Who Died Instead of the Main Character

36 – Discovery (3)

“······I hate you.”

It was Adele, who had been making a few giggles if she wasn’t talking until recently.

“····.”

After hearing my words, which were as cold as the last frost in winter, I couldn’t even hear them.

Perhaps he was hurt.

Maybe he was hurt by me to the point where he couldn’t speak easily.

A sense of betrayal toward me, or a feeling of disappointment. I bet your mouth won’t come off.

If you tried to know Adele’s current condition, you would be able to find out a little bit.

Just as I have been able to do things that I couldn’t do until now with Ifrit’s help, if I ask Ifrit this time too, I’m sure I’ll be able to find out what kind of expression Adele is doing and what kind of action she’s taking.

But the reason I didn’t put that action into action was simple.

‘······ She’s not confident.’

Because she was not confident.

Listen to Ifrit’s description. After hearing about Adele’s current situation, she was hurt. She didn’t have the confidence to speak cold words toward Adele like she does now.

Because if you listened to it vividly as if you saw it in real life, you would definitely want to warmly comfort the wounded Adele, let alone say cold words.

My feelings were always useless. It didn’t help me either here.

On the contrary, when the situation turned out like this, I even felt that it was fortunate that I lost my eyesight.

If my eyesight were normal right now, I would have known about Adele’s condition without asking Ifrit.

Otherwise, these thoughts would have no meaning.

As I said before, it was clear that I would comfort Adele right away. No, it must have been impossible to come to this situation in the first place.

It is clear that the assumption itself that I spit out bitter words while looking straight at Adele will not hold. It must have been impossible for me, who was weak.

So it was fortunate.

To lose sight, to be able to say these words to Adele.

I was very fortunate.

And if you’re not comfortable with it, you’re not comfortable with it.

“······I’m back from the past.”

“······What?”

“Like you, I also regressed. Ryan.”

I was shattered by Adele’s shocking confession that suddenly opened her mouth.

“······I also returned. Lian.”

At Adele’s shocking remark that he also regressed like me.

“What…?”

At first, I thought I was talking nonsense.

Although he could understand the fact that I had returned due to an unknown magic action.

No, actually, I couldn’t understand even this until now. It’s a magic that turns back time. It was an unbelievable story.

The reason I didn’t say much was because I had already experienced that nonsense myself. This situation that is unfolding in front of me right now was something that hadn’t happened in the past and couldn’t have happened.

But Adele’s remark was different.

To turn back the time of not one but two people. Are there any other unrealistic stories like this?

I somehow overlooked the fact that only I could have returned because of someone’s inherent magical power or the intervention of some transcendent being.

It was different from the two of them.

Of course, it is impossible to bring two or more people back with the insignificant inherent magic power of humans. It was clear that a human body would not be able to use that much magic, and it would be impossible to contain the mana needed to cast that much magic.

It was clear that if he put that much mana into his body, the weak human body would explode.

A literal explosion, not a metaphor. Therefore, it was not a human action.

Then, all that remains is the intervention of a transcendent being, but this is also not a part that can be explained in words.

Even if it’s a transcendent existence, if not one but two or more return, it’s sure to be subject to all sorts of restrictions and risks.

Dragon, a transcendent creature commonly thought of, is known to be a very selfish creature. There was no way that such a transcendent being who could only think of himself would bring me and Adele back while taking risks. In the first place, I thought Adele and I had never met a dragon.

From this point of view, it should have been obvious that what Adele said was a lie.

‘······Then what happened until now.’

Everything in this life, which was different from the previous life, held onto my ankles and did not let go.

I’m sure in my head I’m screaming that it’s impossible for more than two people to return.

Me and Adele’s unbroken engagement, Adele’s attitude changed 180 degrees after returning, and the unknown words Adele said in the forest.

The combination of these things supported the hypothesis of a return of two or more people, which was clearly impossible.

That’s why I believed.

“······You’re back too.”

The absurd assumption that Adele and I both regressed.

“Do you believe me?”

“I can’t believe it, but I can’t help but believe the current situation.”

“Then… You’re pretending that you didn’t say that you were going to break up?”

As I seemed to believe that I had returned, Adele said in a voice that she was glad that she was relieved.

“No, I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will work.”

“······· Huh?”

“I told you earlier. I hate you. Adele Listonia. It doesn’t matter that you have returned.”

With my voice not warming up at all, I couldn’t hear any more from Adele.

***

It was quite a while before I heard Adele’s voice again.

“Why?”

A low word, as if he didn’t understand at all.

With that one word, I started to say something I didn’t mean to say, to make sure I ended my relationship with Adele.

“You said it earlier too? I’m sorry I couldn’t help you when I was in trouble. Do I need to like someone who didn’t help me when I was in trouble?”

“Then. Then… Why did you take my bottle?”

Adele refuted with tears as if she would not admit it.

“My petite ego couldn’t admit that I owed you. It’s true that you took care of me a lot in the past.”

I was already in a situation where I had a perfect answer to the rebuttal.

“Why did you treat me well?”

“I didn’t feel the need to fight you in front of everyone else.”

“Why did you save me in the forest?”

“I didn’t save you. I was just saving all the other students, and you were included.”

As she exchanged conversations, Adele’s cries intensified.

Isn’t it that she’s about to burst into tears like before? When she was expecting to do.

Adele asked as if it were the last time.

“······Why did you accept my offer to be friends again?”

The reason for that was, of course, that I also wanted to keep Adele and her friends. I also wanted to act as a breakwater to prevent other bastards from clinging to Adele.

However, like most of the conversations I have had so far, the opposite came out of my mouth.

“I thought there would be many benefits to being friends with the daughter of the Listonian family, the most important family in the empire. But, it turned out to be much better than I thought.”

Lastly, a sentence I made with all the hurt I could give to Adele.

That he did it because he cared about Adele’s family, and that it was less than expected.

I didn’t want to go any further with this horrible conversation that only left each other hurt. I’d rather have Adele get hurt by me like she did in the past and turn around and leave.

I wanted Nara to forget about limited-time extras, meet good people, and live a happy life.

“······Lie.”

But things never worked out the way I had hoped, and Adele started to bully me with words.

“Do you know why I’m carrying on this seemingly meaningless conversation? Ryan?”

“····.”

“I was wondering what you would say to reject me.”

“····.”

“You took my bottle out of pride? You feel that that is nonsense.”

“····.”

“You said you were nice to me in front of other people? Since when did you care about other people’s eyes?”

“······That’s it.”

“And. Since our family is a great family, you accepted the offer to be friends again? Is that kind of person trying to break the engagement with that great family?”

“····.”

“Tell me. Do you think these reasons make sense?”

There was nothing I could say.

I refuted Adele’s objection again, calling it the perfect answer, but as best friends in the past, we both knew that it was absurd sophistry.

“······Why do you lie and deny me saying you hate me?”

I couldn’t see it, but it seemed that Adele had finally burst into tears. The voice that had been clearly driving me until just now had become a little muffled.

“Because I’m ugly? Because I’m a stupid fool?”

Not at all.

It was clear that no one in the Empire could say that Adele was ugly, and Adele, who had been receiving crafts lessons from a young age and grew up hearing that she was a genius, couldn’t be a stupid fool.

“Why are you rejecting me…”

“·······Sorry.”

But even when I thought of this, I couldn’t get the words out of my mouth. No, I couldn’t take it out.

Because Adele was hurt by me here and had to abandon me, the person called ‘Lian Kindred’ itself.

“······Go first.”

Leaving the crying Adele alone, the terminally ill trash extra opened the door and ran out of her reading room.

‘·······Are you okay? Contractor.’

Ifrit also asked me as soon as he got out of the reading room, perhaps feeling that my condition was not serious.

“Yeah, that’s fine.”

“····.”

I was fine.

Now Adele will live happily forgetting about the trash that is me.

Meeting good people and spending good times together. I’ll live with making good memories.

So I was fine.

Really.
