I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads

Chapter 13

13 – Why the hell do bandits have this?

“…… Hi?”

“How are you?”

She wasn’t a close friend, but she couldn’t be too far away either.

They are the only daughter of a count and the eldest daughter of a duke, who have great influence on the continent, and have been in constant exchange since childhood.

“Would you like some tea?”

“Is that so?”

“I will live.”

“Thank you, I will drink it.”

When they met like this, they would have a cup of tea and talk.

“Are your magic skills improving these days?”

“It’s okay. I think I can break through the wall of understanding, but it’s not easy.”

“Magic is always like that, it annoys people as if they might get caught.”

“Yes.”

The most talked about subject was, of course, magic.

The main attributes were different, but they shared the position of being the best magical geniuses at the Royal School, and they didn’t know how time passed when discussing magic.

When Eugene’s story came up, he was ready to stay up all night.

There was no end to sharing the damage situation of the clear-eyed madman who was chasing them tenaciously.

So, since 2 weeks ago when Eugene stopped following me, we had nothing to say privately.

From noble mtl dot com

Single

Sipping…….

Even now, all topics of conversation were exhausted, and the girls were drinking hot tea diligently.

“The tea is delicious~”

“I will.”

“… ….”

Tina, who can’t stand such a lonely atmosphere, spoke first.

“…… That guy recently.”

“Yes… ….”

I called him ‘the man’, but no one knew who it was.

“Isn’t it a bit strange these days?”

“Wasn’t I the only one who thought that?”

“What! Did Yerina think so too?”

“It has to be.”

The temperature of the conversation suddenly rose.

“No, during the last class. Because he blocked the hot orb that was flying at me? So I told him to tell me what I wanted to do in return, but he said let’s eat.”

“Yes, so?”

“Ah, he still has feelings for me. I didn’t feel that way, but since I said it once, I had no choice but to go eat.”

“Yes.”

“But when I went, he said he didn’t ask to eat together, he just asked to buy one, and he just left with his own sandwich?”

“Pooh-up.”

While drinking her tea, Yerina sneezed because she couldn’t hold back her laughter.

“Are you okay? Wipe it off with this.”

“Thank you.”

Wiping her car off her immaculate face, Yerina opened her mouth.

“I thought it was just me, but Tina didn’t think she went through the same thing.”

“Huh? What? She is sharp. Did I go through something similar?”

“Yes. The other day, at wind property magic practice, he…….”

“Ah, I heard that too.”

“The story must be fast. So, I went to pay him back…….”

Yerina explained her everything, and Tina, who was listening to her story, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

For a while, the flowers of laughter bloomed between the two and then stopped.

Is the tension that has been maintained as aristocrat versus aristocrat relaxed?

A question that had been buried for a long time came to light among them.

“The magic that was used to help us, the incantation, was omitted, so it’s not like a first-year level can’t do it…… ?”

“I think so too… ….”

“Actually, he…… Could it be a genius? At least like us.”

“I think it could be more than that. Omitting the incantation is a skill that I am still not good at.”

“It’s embarrassing… ….”

The idiot idiot who was busy following them around, turned out to be a genius equal to or better than them.

Adding factors such as her family’s support and strong background, it was not easy for Eugene to surpass them in her magic a few more years later. Still, she couldn’t help but admire the talent itself.

She had that talent, and the fact that she lived with it was to the point of fainting.

At the end of that natural flow of conversation, what was different was that even if Eugene wanted to ask her about her talents and abilities, it was not easy to do so.

“No matter what I try to say, I draw the line too hard…….”

“I have completely different halves, so there is no point of contact. Like before, if you look at me, you’ll be happy, and you won’t die…….”

As it turned out, it was certain that Yujin, who was a genius, would come to her senses and live a righteous life, which would be good for them and for the world as well. It was not easy in many ways for the girls who pushed him away for over half a year.

“Even if I was a bit stupid…… Right?”

“That’s what I mean… ….”

With their deep sighs, the air around them calmed down.

When Eugene arrived at the guild, he was reading various quests in front of the notice board.

‘A request that can make a lot of money by spending only a weekend… ….’

I knew it was greedy to make a lot of money in a short period of time, but I wanted to finish making money through commissions this time.

He wastes no time for personal training, but he spends his time making money. It was like selling a stock that could have been sold for 100 times in 10 years for only twice as much.

‘But I can’t see the request… ….’

Since Eugene’s current adventurer level is fire level, he couldn’t find a good request.

The adventurer level follows the classification of the 5 properties of magic. Listed from the lowest level,

Water, Fire, Wind, Earth, Thunder

This is what happened.

Since Eugene was only one rank higher than the lowest rank, the number rank, it was not realistically easy to obtain a quest with high difficulty and good rewards.

‘I have no choice but to ask.’

Eugene walked to the reception desk.

The guide I saw before was closed, and there was a small girl.

“Is there a dangerous quest that can be done even if the adventurer level is low?”

“Dangerous…… Are you?”

“Yes.”

“If that’s the case…… It should be on the information board…… “

The girl’s face hardened when she lifted her tiptoe and saw her information board.

“No, someone else took it! I told you not to take it off!”

“… ….”

“There must be a reason you didn’t see it. Wait a minute!”

The girl who was rummaging through her body pushed her request form.

“This is probably the closest to what you are looking for!”

“Thank you.”

Eugene accepted her request.

“My granddaughter is suffering from a rare disease whose condition is worsening day by day.

In order to make her granddaughter well, you must bring back the antidote that my attendants took her away three days ago.

I have not been able to retrieve the antidote that was stolen by unknown people.

The people of the upper ranks have tried their best, but they haven’t even been able to find the whereabouts of the villains.

‘3 Gold’ to those who can tell me where those damned villains live.

I will give ’20 gold’ to the person who brings back the antidote.

-Marcel, head of the Luciana Branch of the Florence Merchant Mercy, directly under the Countess of Florence.”

‘This request… ….’

It was a request Eugene knew.

Since she hadn’t practiced it herself, she didn’t know who the guys who stole the antidote were or how strong they were, but at least she knew where they were.

‘I didn’t expect information I’d seen in passing would be helpful in a place like this.’

When I was bored, I thought it was good to keep an eye on the community.

‘If you tell me where you live, it’s 3 gold, and if you get the antidote back, it’s 20 gold.’

I was able to earn 3 months’ worth of living expenses just by telling them where to live.

With that money, Eugene, who had nowhere else to put money other than food, could survive for a year.

‘It’s a waste of time to finish this quest by just telling you where to live.’

Since the final reward of 20 gold was quite attractive, Eugene decided to try to the end as much as possible.

‘If you earn 20 gold, earning a living through quests is liberation.’

Eugene left the adventurer’s guild and headed for the requested place in her head. She had a long way to go, so she had no time to spare.

He poured mana into his body, making him light and running without a break.

Thanks to his strength training, he was able to maintain a high speed for a long time even with a strengthened body with a small amount of mana.

After driving for five or six hours, he landed near his destination, and the sky was dark.

‘Let’s take a break and go.’

Since his mana was drained from running, Eugene climbed up a tree and meditated on his counter seat.

When you can’t afford to sleep but need to recover your body and magic, meditation was the best method.

After three hours had passed, Eugene opened his eyes.

‘This should be enough.’

Eugene, who had recovered his body and magical powers enough to paint them, expanded his senses with his magical powers and searched for the location of the wicked.

‘This way.’

I could feel the popularity. It was faint, but it was unmistakably human.

Eugene hid himself in the forest and slowly approached in the direction where he felt the presence of people.

In the middle of the forest, I saw the wicked men who had settled down.

‘Looks like a bandit…… Are you wearing a robe?’

A world where bandits wear robes and use magic.

Shaking his head, Eugene blew magical energy into his eyes and inspected the bandits’ dwelling.

The size of the not-so-large abode.

There were only five or six bandits living there.

Four of them were sleeping, and two bandit wizards who seemed to be leaders were talking over a bonfire.

Eugene strengthened his hearing with his magical powers.

“So, what about that angry b*tch?”

“Don’t even talk, it’s just… ….”

Eugene, who felt it was a pity to waste her magical energy on that low-level conversation, waited with only the minimum amount of magical energy to understand the conversation.

After about 10 minutes, when some kind of conversation started to come and go, Eugene strengthened his hearing again.

“So, that one I stole a few days ago.”

“The antidote?”

“Yes, that. You said it was that expensive, but is it really expensive?”

“My mouth hurts when I talk.”

“Tell me before it really hurts you.”

“I don’t have the skills to win, but I take pride in my appearance.”

As one bandit raised his fist, another took the antidote from the chest as if it were a joke.

“This is an antidote for stone sickness, and I heard that it is a must-have ingredient when making arcane elixirs in high noble families such as dukes and counts.”

“Ohh, the ingredients for the arcane elixir. Does that antidote have the effect of increasing mana?”

“No, this is really just a medicine to treat stone sickness. However, if you make an elixir with this medicine, it will have unbelievable efficacy.”

“That’s pretty cool. Wouldn’t that be ridiculously expensive?”

“Exactly. It might be difficult to sell right now, but if you wait a few years and sell it after it calms down, you can play and eat for the rest of your life.”

“Great. We did what we did right.”

The bandits bumped their fists.

For wizards, they would bump their wands, but they would bump their fists.

‘I’m sure he has an antidote.’

Owning all the necessary information, Eugene cut off the mana flowing through his hearing.

Then I opened my eyes wide and measured their inaction.

‘The guy holding the antidote seems pretty strong.’

The other guys don’t look that strong

Even the guy holding the antidote wasn’t unbeatable. Eugene hid her presence and approached them for the raid.

The bandits who finished their conversation were talking dirty again.

“Then, buying five or six girls wouldn’t be a job, right?”

“That’s what I mean. There’s no problem with buying pretty b*tches.”
