The Extra's Return

Chapter 24 A Sweet Gift

I'm currently in my bedroom. Lying on the bed, my body was covered in bandages. This is the result of the care taken by the maids.

After all the maids had finished treating me, they came out of my bedroom. By the time all the maids came out, someone had come into my bedroom.

She is Clarista.

After her eyes scanned my entire body, the look on her beautiful face darkened. Not out of disgust, but perhaps because she sympathized.

"Does it hurt?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Even though she asked with a guilty face, I guess she already knew the answer.

Clarista sat on a chair that was beside my bed.

Suddenly she took something from a small bag that she was carrying. And it turned out to be Pocket Dimension. With a very disheveled face, she held out the item she had just taken out to me.

"Take this!"

What she gave was a vial filled with a faint green liquid. It was a recovery potion. Judging by the wrinkled expression on her face, she didn't seem sincere when she gave it to me.

'I think she's still a merchant.'

The recovery potion was an extremely valuable alchemy item. No wonder it was so hard for her to give it to me. For an ordinary noble family like the Warwicks noble family, of course, it doesn't have much of it.

The ones who used to consume such luxuries were usually only nobles with great influence, elite groups, or elite Adventurers who used to go exploring the Dungeon and risk their lives every time.

[Name: Recovery Potion

Level: Low

Description: Can heal minor physical injuries.]

Even if it was low tier, it was still very valuable. And I'm sure the effect will be very effective.

Maybe because she saw that I didn't respond, she started to convince me.

"Don't worry. Just take it and use it quickly before I change my mind. Besides, I also feel guilty for what Jullian did to you."

"Hm? Well... I'll pay you for this later."

Then, according to what she wanted, I took the recovery potion that she gave me. After that, I immediately drank it.

After I drank the recovery potion, according to the name of the item, the wounds on my body no longer hurt.

Before I could truly be amazed by the effects of the Recovery Potion, something came bothering me.

Break!

Surprisingly, the door which was originally closed was wide open. As the door opened, someone stepped in. That person went inside arbitrarily.

Looking towards my bedroom door, I saw the person. I barely recognized him.

The bandages on his head and legs almost resembled my appearance. The way he entered this room was with a limp. He uses a cane similar to crutches.

He did look pitiful, but his face was full of triumph.

He is Daniel.

"Kuhahaha! Look how pathetic you are. Lying on the bed covered in bandages. Are you a cripple now?"

He insulted and laughed at me. His index finger pointed at me. Tears of joy fell from his eyes to the floor.

Honestly, I don't know how to respond to Daniel's words. I wondered to myself.

'Isn't he aware that he has bandages all over his body too? And he also looks like a cripple when he walks.'

Feeling the wounds on my body getting better because of the recovery potion I had drunk before, then I got up from the bed.

Face-to-face, we stared at each other. Two people wearing bandages seemed ready to punch each other.

Seeing that I was standing without showing the slightest pain, in the blink of an eye, Daniel's avalanche of tears immediately stopped. His laughing mouth also froze.

"Pfftt." From the side, I could hear Clarista's voice that was holding back laughter.

Daniel came out saying threatening words. The way he walked looked very pathetic. Even so, he still managed to swear out of annoyance.

Maybe he walked out knowing that he wouldn't be able to beat me with his current body condition.

After a brief commercial, it was now just Clarista and me in this room. She looked at me with serious eyes. Before she finally asked me,

"Okay then, is this goodbye? Or see you later?"

"Who knows."

"Well, before that, I'll give you a present first. I really can't give you money... Cough! Not because I'm stingy, ok. Instead, I'll give you another gift."

"Hm?"

Without giving me any warning, she immediately spread her arms and approached me. She suddenly came forward and hugged me.

Even if it happened suddenly, actually I could avoid her, but my body let her do what she wanted.

What happened next was the two balloons that she had touched my chest.

Since my body was only wrapped in a thin bandage, I could feel the elastic sensation in detail.

The scent of a grown woman also entered my nose. I'm still a boy, so it would be a lie if my lower half didn't react.

In that position, beside my ear, she whispered, "This is a reward for fighting with Jullian. And because you did, Jullian didn't announce his engagement to your step-sister. Even though I was touched that you did it to get me, I still can't give up on getting Jullian."

She patted and stroked my back gently. It would be a lie if I didn't enjoy her touch, but as an older person, I try not to be too enthusiastic.

Even so, I had no idea what she was saying. In a moment like this, I had the intuition that I shouldn't have said that I fought Jullian not because of her.

After a while, she let go of her hand.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Covering her mouth with her smooth hand, a small mutter escaped from her mount.

"I can't imagine how much he must have suffered from being publicly humiliated like that."

That's what I heard.

"Did you say something?"

ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) "No. Then, see you later."

It seemed she chose to use the phrase see you later instead of goodbye.

Before she walked out of my line of sight, she raised her hand and waved it in a very sexy way. Plus, she winked her eyes to tease me.

Unconsciously, I almost raised my hand as well to return Clarista's wave. However, because I felt a sudden feeling of nostalgia crashing into my consciousness, I didn't do it.

I stared at my hand that had canceled giving Clarista a wave with a strange look in my eyes. My thoughts became complicated as well.

And then Clarista turned around and walked out of the room with a disappointed face because I didn't respond to her wave.

***

As soon as I lay down on the bed, I said something in a low voice.

"Open status!"

[Status Window.

Name: Mesties Warwick

Stats:

Strength: F

Speed: F

Endurance: F

Mana Cores:-

Active Mana:-

Skills:

Poison Resistance, Hear of Everything (1 day), Strengthening, Swordsmanship.]

I see that the Hear of Everything skill can still be used. So, I tried to activate the skill.

[You activated the Hear of Everything skill.]

[Your hearing will improve. You will be able to hear sounds that ordinary humans cannot hear.]

Hearing the World System's explanation, the first thing that crossed my mind was, can I now hear ghost voices?

Suddenly I heard a voice coming from the mansion's corridor leading to my bedroom. The person walked briskly towards my bedroom.

Kkiiiik!

After arriving, she slightly opened my bedroom door and went inside. She is Willa. With my keen hearing, I could hear what she was muttering.

"Damn it! I will definitely kill him one day. How dare he hurt my brother. I will definitely kill him! I will definitely kill him! No, I better torture him first before I kill him."

A horrible mutter escaped from her mouth while biting her fingernails.

I pray that she won't actually do something as extreme as what she said to no one. Because she muttered horribly, the maids who wanted to come to check on me immediately ran away.

"Ah! Brother. You seem to be in a lot of pain."

Her expression changed quickly when she realized that I was watching her.

"Yes, it is. And, what about what are you worried about?"

What I mean is the engagement between her and Jullian.

"I think my worries are gone because that person suddenly left."

'Is that true?'

Then, I averted my hearing to confirm what she was saying.

Far from my bedroom... More accurately, in the air, not far from the mansion, there was the sound of magical animals flying away. I think it's Jullian's Gryphon. So, I guess Jullian is riding the Gryphon back to where he came from.

That way, just as Willa said, Jullian was really gone. Well, it was a bit disappointing that I had to deliberately give in, however, I also knew that I didn't have enough strength to beat him yet.

Honestly, when I fought Jullian, even if I put all my effort into it, I wasn't 100% sure I could beat him.

Even in the beginning, that's how strong the main character of this world is. In contrast to an extra character like myself.

With a wry smile, I canceled the Hear of Everything skill. The moment I opened my previously closed eyes, suddenly a system message appeared in front of me.

[Congratulations! You have successfully carried out the quest Fight the Hero of Light Candidate.]

[You will be rewarded!]

[First prize. You have the option of making the Hear of Everything Skill derived from The Five Sense - Sense of Hearing Skill a permanent skill. Will you accept it?]

Seeing the greatness of the Hear of Everything skill, I immediately answered in agreement without thinking.

[You have agreed to make the Hear of Everything Skill a permanent skill.]

[Giving a second gift!]

[Congratulations! You got the Skill Inventory!]

[However, since your body doesn't have a Mana Core, you can't activate the skill.]
