The Reincarnated Extra - Ch. 145

* * *

…It’s strange, isn’t it, Extra-sama?

I, the wild child beautiful young girl Emi-chan aged 8, had been aimlessly wandering this vast snowy plain.

What suddenly appeared before me was a manor with an outward appearance that could only be described as “strange.”

First, the roof was bright red. Bright crimson red. Additionally, the window frames and other key areas were also painted red.

The walls were coated yellow, with red polka dot patterns drawn here and there.

With only pure white snow piled up around it, its outward appearance stood out bizarrely.

Eeh!?

So this manor is a historic building?

Though it still looks relatively new?

Location?

…In the middle of this vast snowy plain with nothing around, the fact that only this manor is here is what’s strange?

Hah? Why would it be that?

Teleportation magic circle?

Heeh! What a convenient thing!

But why would having one mean the owner is royalty or incredibly wealthy?

Whoa, the ancient magic civilization!?

What’s that!? What’s that!?

Yeah, it’s cold.

I agree on that point.

While I’ve become stronger and am bundled up in the fluffy wolf pelts I hunted in bulk before, it’s not an unbearable cold.

But still, Extra-sama…

If I cheerfully barged into that manor going “Excuse me~!” what do you think would happen?

Yeah.

Because of my black hair and black eyes.

Because I’m an accursed child…

Ahaha, calling such a beautiful young girl that, what are you saying, Extra-sama?

I’ll blow you away, you know.

Well, no I won’t actually blow you away!

Anyway, putting aside the jokes.

I can’t just enter the manor as I am now.

It would cause an unnecessary commotion.

I turn my face sideways.

Over there is a relatively small building with the same bright red roof and yellow walls as the manor.

Probably a storehouse.

I’ll visit inside this storehouse for now to take a break.

It’s fine, it’s fine.

Avoiding any unnecessary troubles is best.

Your ideas are scary, Extra-sama!

Honestly, you’re always trying to make me into the enemy of humanity~…

Yes yes, patience patience.

Let’s quickly get inside the storehouse!

Squelching through the snow, I move in front of the storehouse door.

While slightly smaller than the manor, the storehouse is still a considerably large building.

The metal door is large and rather imposing too.

Anyway, I’ll have to excuse myself inside~!

Eeh!

…Zu, zu, zuzuzu… Bakin!! …Gigigigigi…

With a bit of force from me, the metal door slowly creaked open with a low rumbling sound.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem locked.

…Extra-sama, did you really think that?

…Well, what’s done is done!

I’ll just secretly hunt a large monster or something later as an apology gift.

Now then, putting that aside.

Let me just excuse myself inside~!

…Gigigigigi…

I enter the storehouse and close the door behind me.

This stone-constructed storehouse has a stark interior of stone floors and stone walls, contrary to its gaudy outward appearance.

Light pouring in through the windows near the ceiling illuminates the storehouse’s empty interior.

That’s true, Extra-sama.

Well, the door was rather imposing for an ordinary storehouse just used for storing provisions.

I wonder what purpose this storehouse serves?

…Hn?

Yeah, I thought I saw something glint in the corner of the storehouse over there.

Crouching down near it, there was a small ore fragment about the size of a soybean lying there.

Picking it up for a closer look, the faintly reddish ore sparkled under the ceiling light.

Magic ore?

Heeeh.

So if there are fragments lying around, does that mean this was originally a storehouse meant to store these magic ores?

It makes me wonder why a villa located in such a remote snowy mountain would need that kind of storehouse.

If so, struggling would be inevitable, huh.

Ahaha, just kidding, Extra-sama!

I’m counting on you!

But well, I’m just borrowing this storehouse as a resting spot, so whether it’s for what purpose or what that manor is doesn’t really matter, does it?

Well then… yoishoo.

I sit down, leaning my back against the stone storehouse wall and closing my eyes.

Concentrating.

Focusing my awareness toward the manor.

Thanks to my long life in the wilds and undergoing mana transformation, I’ve acquired super fantasy hearing senses.

If I concentrate like this…

“…please”

“…Understood, then…”

“…The cleaning again…”

See? I can even eavesdrop on the conversations inside the neighboring manor from within this storehouse!

As expected of a fantasy other world!!

In any case, Extra-sama.

Since I’ll be resting here anyway, why don’t we eavesdrop on what’s happening inside the manor to satisfy our curiosity?
