The Extra's Return

Ka-clank!

"Buh-hi!"

Bubble or what Mesties called Fat Pig, involuntarily let out a disgusting sound when the attack he launched was failed.

Bubble found it very difficult to grip his sword due to the impact that had occurred.

His sword, which was moving to attack, had a higher speed than Jeanne\'s shield, which was standing still in response to the attack, so kinetic energy was transferred from his sword to Jeanne\'s shield.

In such a case, the one that gets the most impact was of course the Bubble sword that had attacked, because it has a speed that increases the momentum value.

As a result, his sword trembled violently. The vibrations in his sword traveled to his hands. When he felt that he couldn\'t hold the sword in his hand anymore, he let go of the sword and it flew into the air.

At first, he wanted to get angry.

Steam of anger had billowed above his head.

He had his hands clenched tightly.

When someone who carried the shield suddenly appeared and blocked him, he desperately wanted to attack her.

But he suddenly stopped.

That was because he saw the face of the person who had been blocking him.

When he saw that Jeanne was the one blocking him, he didn\'t dare to fight back.

As a low-ranked Adventurer who only dared to fight people who were weak and had a lower rank than him, Bubble had of course already bagged a list of high-level Adventurers.

Not to forget, he had also memorized their faces. So that he could avoid dealing with them or not get into trouble with them.

One of them was Jeanne.

"What do you want by making a mess here? You\'re just putting me in a bad mood. Damn it!"

Jeanne snapped at Bubble in an angry tone. Jeanne glared at Bubble with a gaze full of fire.

"H-Hieeck!"

Ignoring Bubble\'s response, Jeanne kicked Bubble in the stomach until a tsunami wave was created on the surface of Bubble\'s skin.

His body shot up until his body hit the wall.

The excess fat on his body had saved him from a violent collision with the wall of the Adventurer\'s Association building. He did not die instantly.

It appears as though he is embarrassing himself rather than succeeding in portraying himself as a strong man.

"Eat that!"

A fiery temperament was displayed by Jeanne.

Her red hair color flared up as her mood became ugly.

After disposing of Bubble, Jeanne looked around her.

She looked at the Adventurers who were shocked by her appearance until her eyes caught sight of an old man, bearded, and wearing the typical attire of a butler.

Seeing the presence of the old butler, she could then guess what had happened.

Jeanne frowned.

She already knew who the Old Butler was.

Several times in the past, she had been visited by Old Butler. But she never responded to Old Butler\'s invitation.

Even though it was a direct order from the person the old butler was serving, the son of the Marquis Stronghold, Jeanne still flatly refused.

On several occasions, she even had to use force to evict the old butler.

Just thinking about it made Jeanne\'s mood even worse.

She became more and more upset.

"So this is all your doing?!"

"Tch, another disturber appeared."

Old butler clucked his tongue.

He was disappointed that Jeanne had come to interrupt.

Even so, he thought that if it was just Jeanne, then he could still continue this.

The commitment he had in carrying out the orders of the person he was serving was really very high.

He didn\'t want to fail an easy mission like this.

\'Failure is unforgivable!\'

As he made up his mind to pursue the matter, he was about to order the Adventurers to attack Jeanne, Mesties, and attack Veronica simultaneously.

***

After Jeanne\'s arrival, I thought that things would get better. I thought that the old butler would step down. But I didn\'t expect that he would do the opposite.

From his expression, I knew he wouldn\'t give up on Veronica. I could even see that he also wanted to get Jeanne.

Jeanne, the heroine of the novel Demon Lord and Hero of Light, was someone who was already very famous from the beginning.

So, in the current timeline, she already had above-average strength.

Although Jeanne was still a rank B Adventurer, her abilities were already very well known in the city of Burgenfield. She already had the nickname an Impenetrable Tank.

Her skills and resilience were famous.

Even though she was still about seventeen years old, the same as me, she already had a lot of real experience and abilities.

All of that was written in the novel called Demon Lord and Hero of Light. So I already knew either her background or everything about her.

The potential she possessed was extremely high. In the future, she would be famous as the only person from the commoner class who was able to surpass the power of the nobles.

"Stay behind me. I will protect you both."

"Who are you?"

"Don\'t worry. I\'m your ally. We can get acquainted later."

"And why do you want to protect the two of us?"

She looked back. Stared at us for a while, then spoke freely.

"I guess you must have gotten involved with that old butler because you were protecting your girlfriend. I know that old butler is the errand boy of an asshole who likes to target girls. Regardless, I was just doing the natural thing."

Jeanne looked back to the front. With shield in hand, she was prepared to fight off the horde of Adventurers.

Because of one of the words Jeanne said, I could feel the intense pressure from Veronica. Luckily, Veronica just kept quiet.

Despite the chaos around me, I found myself thinking of some random things.

I didn\'t expect that I would be able to get this close to Jeanne.

In my previous life, I would never have imagined that I would be able to talk to her. Normally, I could only imagine her from a distance.

Something that was natural considering I was an extra character.

I still get a strange feeling whenever I meet the important characters in the novel Demon Lord and Hero of Light.

I was unable to clearly describe what feelings I had.

Was it like a fan seeing his idol? I don\'t think it was like that.

If I had the feeling of a fan seeing the idol, I would have rushed forward in front of Jeanne and said, "I\'ll protect you." Something like that.

Instead, I let Jeanne fight all the Adventurers.

If Jeanne had to fight all the Adventurers here, I wasn\'t really sure if she had enough strength to stop them all.

Since she specializes in protecting, let\'s just hope she can survive.

If things go beyond what I anticipated, I\'ll just have to intervene.

And sure enough, something beyond what I expected happened.

It wasn\'t a matter of whether Jeanne would lose or not.

Like thunder coming from the sky, the sudden presence of a man coming from the stairs silenced the entire Adventurer\'s Association hall.

"Hoaam~ What is this? Why does it look so noisy in here?! It\'s still early in the morning. Can\'t you guys relax a little?"

The person descended the stairs casually.

He covered his mouth with his palm and yawned widely. It looked as if he had just woken up from sleep.

The man\'s upper body was naked. He is not wearing a single piece of cloth. He only wears regular pants on the lower half of his body.

From his face, it was obvious that he was in middle age, probably around 30 to 40 years old.

Even so, looking at his body, it was still obvious that he was an expert. The muscles on his body popped out, looking extremely terrifying. The most distinctive thing was his skin color, which tended to be pitch black.

A mysterious aura came from him that froze everyone.

Only a few fools were still able to speak without fear of sin.

"Who is he?"

"What? You don\'t know?"

"Hehe. I really don\'t know. Can you tell me, Senior?"

"O-Okey, I\'ll tell you. But remember to buy me a drink later. I\'ve seen him before. Make no mistake, he\'s the head of the Adventurer\'s Association."

"Ah, how is this? If he is the head of the Adventurer\'s Association? What will happen to us?"

"Hey, calm down. Even if he is the head of the Adventurer\'s Association, he won\'t be able to punish us."

"Oh, why? ... Oh... that\'s right, come to think of it, we haven\'t done anything wrong, right?!"

From what the Adventurers said, it seems that he was the head of the Adventurers\' Association in this city.

"Oho. You guys are too noisy. It\'s because of you that I woke up. Yawn."

The person who everyone assumed to be the head of the Association was still at the top of the stairs leading to the second floor earlier. But in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared and only his voice remained.

Fortunately, I had been activating the Hear of Everything skill, so I could hear his movements.

Although my eyes weren\'t able to follow his movements, I knew which direction he was heading.

He suddenly appeared in the middle of the crowd of Adventurers.

The other Adventurers hadn\'t realized that he was already in their midst.

And when that person was in the center of the crowd, he used his muscular arms to nudge the Adventurers.

Yes, it was just a nudge.

But as a result of that nudge, some Adventurers were knocked so far that some hit the wall.

"Gu-hack!"

"Ugh!"

"H-how?!"

"?!"

All sorts of reactions sprung up. But the head of the Association ignored them. He continued walking towards the old butler.

"Hehehe."

He did not say anything. He just smiled at the old butler.
