The Extra's Harem In Dead End Game

Chapter 6: St. Leferia Academy [3]

"Anyone can say whatever they want. But from what I've experienced over the years, people don't change, with very few exceptions."

Weighty words that come from experience. Honestly, I agree.

Just by looking at the perception, doesn't a person who is always late continue to be late? But that doesn't mean we can just sit back and do nothing here.

"Of course, that could be the case. There is a high probability that I will live a life like this, wasting money and being of no use to society. But I could also become a good nobleman who uses his personal wealth to help the poor. No one knows the future."

"Oh, really." Coffin makes a face that says, "How dare you?"

And then I finally pull out the deck I had been preparing.

"Of course, I don't intend to just talk. I should show it through my actions. From now on, I will give an offering every week."

"Huh? What did you just say?"

"I want to show my sincerity, even in a small way, by donating every week. I heard that the church does a lot of good work. If I can help them even a little, there's nothing better than that."

Offering.

This was the pattern I chose. Coffin is a faculty member belonging to a religious order. He is also a very devout believer. This means that he is a person who would be very happy if it was something good for the church.

Of course, there's no way that damn bastard Max would be donating money. In the first place, he probably wasn't even a believer. This means an opportunity to catch a new peak. Could Coffin not seize that opportunity?

"Hmm. A donation?"

Coffin's expression changes. My body feels a little hot.

"Yes, it's a small amount, but 10 gold per week."

I secretly spill the money. Ten gold a week, 40 gold a month. The average monthly salary of a knight, who is an excellent human resource in this world, is about 10 gold, so this is a huge sum several times that amount. It was a waste of money that I paid with the belief in Celtrin.

Still, the effect was clear.

"Ten gold every week?"

Coffin's eyes have rolled back. At this point, I think we can almost say we've come this far.

"Huh… Heh heh… I misjudged you. You have the will to change your mind. Yes, if you devote yourself to God, you will definitely be able to change your mind."

…You said earlier that people don't change.

"I will keep your good words in my heart."

I'm back on topic.

"The dormitory thing…"

"Haha, you should come in. Of course, you should come in. Isn't the dormitory open to students who are studying hard?"

…It didn't open before.

"That's good. The ceiling work in Common Building A, Room 501, was just finished today. Okay, ask the staff downstairs for the key to Room 501 and enjoy your stay starting today."

* * *

"Whew, it's hard to even get into a dorm."

A sigh escaped me. If I hadn't known Coffin's personality, I wouldn't have been able to even enter the dormitory.

It's all because of that guy Max's usual trashy behavior. My head started to hurt as I thought about how his trashy behavior would continue to cause him trouble here and there.

"…I can't help it."

If I couldn't overcome this level of difficulty, I had no right to dare say that I would clear this game.

And.

'If you think about it, isn't it the worst start?'

Clearly, Max is just an extra. Since I'm an extra, I don't have any special abilities or talents.

But even Max had two weapons: Family and money.

It was a surprisingly great weapon. Especially money.

Anyone who has played this game will agree. How many times has the protagonist been restricted from the beginning due to lack of money?

Expensive items are out of the question, and it's barely enough to get by.

Even that is because I was exempted from paying tuition for the first semester by being admitted as the second highest student, but if I can't maintain good grades, then from that moment on, my life will truly be a mess.

You have to throw yourself into the part-time job market to cover your tuition and living expenses.

From then on, a vicious cycle begins.

As time is taken up by part-time jobs, growth is slowed down, and grades gradually drop. That's how the game is ruined.

Of course, it's not like there is no way at all.

Clearing the quest related to the money supply will give you a breath of fresh air. So the key in the early stages of this game was how quickly you could discover and clear the quests related to the money supply.

'Compared to that.'

I never have to worry about money.

Because I'm a noble, and a wealthy noble at that. The way I used to tell Coffin a little while ago—that's a method that a protagonist in the early stages would never be able to use.

…Of course, there is no need to use it.

"Whatever, let's just go in and sleep for today."

The moment I was about to step into the dormitory, something suddenly occurred to me.

'I told you not to waste money.'

The last thing my sister said. I didn't intend to waste it, even though I used it, but I ended up having an unexpected expense.

"Well, it's a lot better than wasting money on hotel bills."

While muttering like that, I went into the dormitory.

* * *

Boom!

Swaaaaaaah!

Suddenly, the sky became cloudy, and heavy rain fell.

I was lucky. If I had arrived even just a little late, I would have been drenched in rain.

I sat on the creaking bed and stared at the ceiling. The ceiling that construction finished today.

Looking at the shabby appearance, I honestly can't tell what kind of construction was done, but at least it didn't leak.

"…This is the common hall."

It was a building as old and shabby as it had been in the game.

The game's setting is that this is where the Common Class, a group of underachievers, resides, and that it was intentionally made this way to encourage their desire to learn and improve.

It seemed like it would work.

Even if I were them, I think I would study and train like crazy to get out of this shitty place.

"Come to think of it… I guess I should check the condition."

From the time I left for the ice rink until I got back to the dormitory, my schedule was so hectic that I didn't have time for any personal time.

Now that I had time, there was something I absolutely had to do.

Checking the condition of this body.

"But how should I look at it? The condition…"

Before I could even say the word "window," a familiar window appeared before my eyes.

It seemed to react to my will to see. Anyway, that's not important right now…

Gulp.

I swallowed nervously and slowly looked at the status window.

Even if I'm trash, there's bound to be one thing I can be at better than others.

No, wouldn't two be enough?

Yeah, maybe it's an unscratched lottery ticket.

The moment I checked the status window with increasingly unrealistic expectations…

"Hehehehe."

A crazy laugh came out of my mouth.

"…Let's just die."
