47 The Extra, Two Villainesses, And The Protagonist

"Matthew...?"

"MATTHEW!"

All of a sudden, a soft, familiar voice called out to Matthew, breaking through his thoughts like a gentle breeze on a quiet day.

Thud!

Just as he turned his body in the direction of the voice, he felt a gentle weight land against his chest, and two arms encircle him in a warm embrace.

"Roxanne?"

Matthew's voice was full of surprise.

"Mhm..." Roxanne nodded, her eyes meeting his.

Then, she tilted her head up, meeting his gaze directly as a soft smile graced her lips.

"I missed you... mhnm..." Her words were muffled as she buried her face in his chest.

Hearing her, Matthew ran his fingers through her hair, feeling her hold tighten around him.

Sigh...

Swing!

Splurt!

With Roxanne in his arms, Matthew swung his sword, dispatching another group of goblins with ease.

Now, he could use the new energy in his body, so he killed more than five of them with just a blade of energy.

"...Matthew?"

"Huh...?" Matthew's eyes suddenly widened as he heard the mix of two voices calling his name.

In front of him, both Stacy and Lilian stood looking at him.

He could immediately feel a faint killing intent coming from Stacy, but Lilian seemed calm.

'Well.... What's up with this pressure in the air?'

"What are you guys doing her—MHM?!"

Suddenly, as Matthew was about to speak, he felt two pairs of hands grab his collar.

Smack~♥

His lips met Roxanne's moist, inviting ones, momentarily stunning him.

But Roxanne pressed her chest against him even harder, as if she did not want him to go, so Matthew was forced to turn away from Lilian and Stacy and concentrate only on Roxanne.

He simply played along with her kissing game, and finally, after a few seconds, their lips parted away.

"Phwa..." A string of saliva spread between their tongues.

"Satisfied?" Matthew asked Roxanne nonchalantly.

"Mhm... I'm glad you didn't reject me this time..." She once again buried herself in his chest.

'She's different... Did something happen?'

"AHEM!" Stacy suddenly made a loud noise, causing Roxanne to turn her head and look at her.

Only now has she noticed that both Lilian and Stacy were there.

However, she simply ignored them and clung to Matthew once again, to the point of wrapping her legs around his waist.

Matthew furrowed his eyebrows at this, and with a faint sigh, he sat down on the chairs that the campus had all around.

Fortunately, they weren't destroyed by those goblins.

"...Is she going to stay like that?" Lilian couldn't help but ask as she also sat down.

"I guess?" Matthew shrugged his shoulders, "Besides, it's not like she's bothering anyone, right?"

"I think so..." Lilian turned to Stacy.

"Yeah, whatever." Stacy said indifferently, "Now... teacher, what's going to happen to the academy? This entire world structure will probably change due to this 'event'..."

"Well, I've already spoken with the principal, and we'll simply continue the classes as normal. We've already gotten a ton of information from this new world from the people who are contracted with constellations, and it turns out that each main quest only happens once a month." Lilian explained as she took a flower that, surprising enough, wasn't damaged.

"Also, when an A-rank awakener or stronger reaches level 10, he'll regain his powers once again." Lilian leaned against the seat, "So, we're simply thinking of creating an "exp farm" to strengthen ourselves and the academy."

Sigh...

After sighing, Lilian continued, "Because the now—Crown Princess has joined our academy, we're making a partnership with the Royal Family. So, we'll adapt to this situation much faster."

"WHAT!?" Stacy suddenly stood up in shock, "If she is now the Crown Princess, what happened to Leon?"

"Leon...? Well, he was deemed useless due to his new behavior and was declared unworthy of the throne." Lilian sighed.

"Because of that, Princess Evangeline has become the new heir to the throne. To be honest, no one was more qualified than her." She added.

"Did he finally get thrown out of the academy?" Matthew suddenly asked as he turned his head to Lilian.

"Ah... unfortunately, no." She replied while shaking her head.

"Tsk..."

"......."

"Weird. Shouldn't you complain about my comment, Stacy?" Matthew asked nonchalantly as he looked at the sky.

"Normally..." Stacy spoke as she sighed heavily, "However, Leon became very different in such a short time. It was like his entire personality changed, and the only thing that stood on his mind... was actually me."

'Oh... that's your first yandere male lead. Congrats!' Matthew cheered inwardly.

"Are you implying that he's obsessed with you?" Roxanne suddenly changed positions and looked at Stacy.

Feeling her gaze, Stacy just nodded her head.

[...Be careful.]

'Ah... what was that for!?' Matthew's eyes widened.

"I don't know even why he likes you." Roxanne spoke as her lips curled into a deep smile. "It's one thing that you're childhood friends, but what exactly did he fall in love for? Your "kind" personality, or your beauty?"

"Did you ever wonder that? Anyways... it's your fault that happened, isn't it?"

"H-huh... what do you mean, Roxanne?" Stacy frowned as she heard Roxanne's words.

"Well... you were too kind for him, giving him ideas that you liked him. And because his feelings weren't reciprocated, that caused his 'love' to turn into obsession. Which means... that it's your own fault that he's like that now, isn't it?" Roxanne smiled as she continued.

"No... NO! It wasn't my fault!" Stacy suddenly raised her voice.

It was clear that she fell in Roxanne's provocation.

"It wasn't my fault... I was just being kind... by helping him. We have been friends since our childhood... Isn't that natural?" Stacy held her head.

Immediately, countless thoughts started wavering in her mind—something that hadn't happened before.

"Tell me... how does it feel to corrupt someone? To make him unable to think anything other than yoursel—!!!" Suddenly, just as Roxanne was about to continue.

Matthew grabbed her head and forcefully kissed her lips while putting his hands on her waist.

Slowly, Roxanne's eyes regained their clarity, and she closed her eyes, wrapping her hands around Matthew's neck.

'...That was fucking close.' He sighed inwardly.

He now understood why the system had told him to be careful.

It seems that because the entire plot of the world had changed, the "world will" was finally interfering with the world.

It was forcing Roxanne to become a villainess directly, and it also seemed the same with Lilian; she simply stared at the ground bluntly.

"Lilian, wake up!" Matthew broke off the kiss and spoke loud enough for Lilian to regain her consciousness.

"U-uh... what happened?" Lilian's eye squinted as she suddenly felt a huge headache attacking her.

And Stacy, well...

She passed out directly.

'It might be related to one of her traumas or something... Protagonists usually have those, so they can surpass them to get a strength boost immediately.' Matthew thought inwardly.

Sigh...

'Even more trouble...'

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!

Suddenly, from the sky, a gigantic tower fell, craving itself deeply into the ground.

The tower positioned itself perfectly, and anyone could easily feel a huge amount of mana coming from it.

[Hello~]

[The towers have now arrived... Good luck~, hihihhi~]
