Chapter 4: The protagonist (part 2)

After saying that, Anna turned into stream of light and became a pattern engraved on the back of my hand. 

Looking at the wing pattern on the back of my hand, I started making plans for the future.

‘I don’t know what I’ll get as heirloom… it’s an unpredictable thing.’

The most important thing for me at the moment was the quest and the main story. If I followed the main story well, there would be no big problems in earning soul power.

However, the was another kind of problem.

‘I couldn’t find the main character.’

Perhaps it was me who had substituted the main character, so the main character who should have appeared and had all kinds of contacts with the heroines was nowhere to be seen.

In fact, there would be no major problems even without the main character. That was because this particular game didn’t really take the main character as its focus. If you don’t play smart, even the main character wouldn’t be able to clear it and would eventually hit a wall.

However, considering that all events tend to revolve around the main character, I had to find him.

‘Let’s see, how should I find the main character…’

To do that, I had to stay in contact with Stella, who was one of the heroines.

In other words, I had to stay close to Stella at all times.

“Ian!”

As soon as class was over, I turn my head to the voice of someone calling me.

It was Syrah, the troublesome one. 

I looked at her and smiled, “Do you need something?”

“I heard the rumor, you really summoned a 3-star summoned being? Can’t you show it to me?”

In the morning, I had walked around with that summon, but I decisively shook my head as I wanted to stay far away from this troublesome person.

Fortunately, there was a legitimate reason to decline her request.

“No.”

“Why?”

“It’s forbidden to summon a summoned being on campus.”

“Ah… then, should we leave the academy? Let’s go to the training ground!”

“I’m busy.”

“Why again?”

“I have an appointment.”

“Is it with a girl?”

For an instant, Syrah’s eyes turned cold. 

I didn’t understand why she cared so much about whether it was a girl or not, but I nodded my head.

“It is a girl.”

“Who? As far as I know, you don’t have connection with any girl…”

“It’s Stella Eritz.”

At that, Syrah exclaimed, and stepped back. She came from a Marquise family, and Stella was the daughter of a Duke. There was a distinct difference in status.

Unlike me, who would be a nobody the moment I graduated from the academy, she had to be careful about her conducts here.

“Why do you have an appointment with the lady of House Eritz?”

“She owes me a hairloom.”

“I heard the rumors. Will she really give it to you?”

“If she doesn’t give it to me, I’ll just have to take it.”

Of course, that wasn’t my real purpose. My purpose was to participate in the main storyline, and the main story would begin with the main character being rescued by Stella.

The problem was that I wasn’t the main character, and I didn’t even know when the main story would begin.

So I though of a simple solution. All I had to do was to follow Stella, and use her fate to meet the protagonist.

“It’s good that you know, so please leave. Because it’s annoying.”

“Don’t you have anything nice to say?”

Syrah grumbled, but went back to her seat, packed her things, and left the classroom.

After seeing her go out first, I went back to my room, threw the book and bag on the table, and headed to Stella’s place.

Stella, who was returning to her room after class, looked at me and frowned.

“What?”

“I have something to tell you, can you spare some time?”

“I have nothing to hear from you.”

“Don’t you have a debt?”

“I’ve sent a letter… I don’t know when I’ll get a reply, but I’ll keep my promise.”

Stella said that and tried to walk past me. 

But I couldn’t let her go like that, she was essential in the advancement of the story.

“Wait? Then I’ll just have to wait without a promise?”

“I’m sorry about that, but…“

“If I was the one who had lost, would you have delayed the expulsion?”

At that, Stella shut her mouth. Yes, she had nothing to say. If I hadn’t been able to summon a 3-star summon, I would have been expelled on the same day no matter what.

“What do you want?” Stella looked up at me fiercely and asked. 

I, on the other hand, said with a smirk, “Buy me a cup of tea.”

“What?”

***

Cafeteria near the Academy.

Stella brought the drink she had ordered with a dark expression on her face.

I looked at her and smiled mischievously.

“What’s the matter?”

“I’m having coffee with a guy like you, so how should I feel?”

“Now, now… you didn’t refuse.”

“I didn’t want to be in debt, so I granted your request. From now on, I don’t intend to listen to such a request.”

Saying so, she drank the coffee she ordered. I also drank mine and looked at her.

Red hair and crimson eyes. She was quite cute, but to think that she thought that she could pay off all her debts with just one drink.

I didn’t really call her to admire her looks, so I spent my time enjoying the drinks I had ordered with Stella’s money.

After a while, Stella yelled at me as if she was frustrated.

“What, why did you just call me and say nothing? Are you even a man?”

“Um, I’m sorry. The reason I called you here is…”

Suddenly, I heard a scream from afar. I was waiting for this, and I quickly ran out, then summoned Anna. 

“Stop, where are you going!?”

With her wings blooming in white, Anna immediately grasped the situation and sped forward.

“I will be going first, Master!”

Shaang!

Anna disappeared from sight with the sound of bursting air. 

Some time later, after running for a long time, I finally arrived at the source of the scream.

Anna, who had arrived first, was protecting a cadet behind her and was fighting the demons. However, when I checked the cadets’s face, he stiffened.

‘No, why are you a girl?’

It was the protagonist, and… he was now a girl!
