The Extra's Harem In Dead End Game

Chapter 34: Riddle [2]

—The saintess had gathered the dangerous taboo books that had brought much bloodshed to the world through her misguided power and hid them in the Academy's secret library.

It was written like that in the old book. Those taboo books probably didn't talk about black magic or anything like that.

For example, like Riviera's blood magic or her own sorcery, it was a very dangerous and powerful power that would turn you into a mine and dye the world in blood if you fell for its allure.

And in its complete form. That was why Riviera was looking for the secret library—for the true completion of blood magic.

"If things continue like this, I guess we won't get any results even if we keep looking."

It was definitely in the academy.

That was why he split the workload with her and investigated the inside of the academy whenever he had time. But at this point, he had no choice but to admit it: they couldn't find it by normal methods.

"It doesn't seem like it will work?"

"Yeah. I think it's probably buried in subspace."

"Subspace?"

"Oh. That place would definitely be safe."

"If you're a professor, you can find it, right?"

Professor.

That was his nickname within the organization.

The reason? Just because he was a professor.

For similar reasons, Riviera was called a witch in the organization.

"Overrated. How can a professor find something that even a witch can't find?"

"I'm Disappointment."

"…I didn't say it was impossible."

"Then what should we do?"

"Well, I guess I'll have to find a way."

"Expectation."

"…Oh, okay. Do whatever you want."

"I'll go."

"Gaga."

Lafitte waved his hand as if shooing away an annoying visitor.

But again, her feet stopped.

"What is it again?"

"Now that I think about it, something strange happened."

"What is it?"

"The punks have become strange."

"…I think you're weird."

Lafitte didn't pay any attention to it, as if wondering what kind of strange things she was talking about.

"I'll go."

"Go, go."

Whew.

And so, Riviera disappeared again, becoming a black shadow.

Cafeteria.

Perhaps because it was lunchtime, the restaurant was crowded with quite a few people.

I also stood in line and waited for my turn.

Then I became lost in thought.

'Let's go as normal today.'

Since the classes were in the morning, there was ample time to practice both swordsmanship and archery.

However, there was not enough time because classes resumed as usual starting tomorrow.

'I have to do both, even if it means cutting down on the time.'

That was my choice.

Basics now.

I knew that doing a little bit every day without interruption was better for growth than doing it in turns. A flexible schedule was only possible after I reached a certain level.

While I was making plans, it was already my turn.

I picked up my plate and walked over to the food table.

Since it was a buffet, all I had to do was pick out the food I wanted and put it on my plate.

I packed the food with a roughly balanced nutritional balance in mind. From meat and dairy products to vegetables and fruits.

It looks delicious.

My mouth just started to water.

But since it was the busiest time, most of the tables were full.

An almost empty table caught my eye as I was trying to find an empty seat.

I wondered what the heck was going on and headed straight for the table.

It was when I was about to sit on that empty chair.

'Huh?'

I felt the hostile gaze from in front of me stabbing me with sharp precision.

Is this Max's karma again?

I clicked my tongue and looked ahead.

And.

Don't sit down. Get away from me. Don't sit down. Get away from me. Don't sit down. Get away from me.

Don't sit down. Get away from me. Don't sit down. Get away from me. Don't sit down. Get away from me.

"… … ."

I was speechless when I found a woman with twintails whose face clearly showed what she was saying.

Wow… There really are people who can make such vivid expressions with just their faces.

Oh, it's a cheat in the game.

By the way.

It's a familiar face.

Amy, 'Blessing of the Baguette.'

It's a funny nickname, but it makes sense when you see her.

A plate piled high with only baguettes.

… So why don't people give it a nickname like Baguette?

But you shouldn't judge her just by that funny nickname.

She's a first-class priest who's not good at healing, but is incredibly good at blessing.

It is supposed to be exact, though.

She is currently a third-year student in the Royal Class and a student council officer.

She is also the student council president's closest confidant.

Oh, wait a minute.

The fact that this woman is here…

I had a gut feeling that something troublesome was going to happen, so I tried to go somewhere else.

Yeah, that's right. Go quickly. Go quickly.

Amy's expression brightens.

But.

"Why don't you sit down?"

A cold hand touched my shoulder.

My gaze naturally turned to the owner of the hand.

A tall woman, well over 180 cm.

A beautiful but cold face.

It was an unforgettable face.

Because she was one of the most important figures among the most important figures.

Regina Ernbert, 'Knight of the Snow Wind.'

One of the world's greatest knights and the student council president of Lepheria Academy.

And.

'She was that bastard Max's fiancée.'

But because of his scoundrel-like behavior, she quickly breaks off the engagement.

It probably wasn't far.

Because I remember it as being before the main character became a second grader.

That means they are still engaged.

That's why I thought we would have to meet sooner or later.

But not now.

I wasn't prepared or anything.

However.

…No matter what, this is unavoidable.

I sat down for a moment.

I was constantly thinking in my head about what to say.
