I Was the Heroine, and in the Sequel, Even Though I’m a Mob, All of My Stats Are Maxed Out

My First Time in a Different World 2

From the next day on, I began to learn more about this world, about saintess, and about magic, and I also started my special training.

I packed my schedule from morning to night so much that I had no time to feel anxious or confused, and tried desperately to become a proper “Saintess.”

“Wow… It’s beautiful…!”

I still remembered the first time I used magic.

For a brief moment, a faint light came out of my hand, and I was truly moved and excited that I could really use something as fantastical as magic, but──

“…. Hahh…. Hahh….”

“Are you okay? Would you like to rest for a while?”

“I can still… keep going…..”

It took a lot of hard work before I was able to master holy magic. Although I was taught personally by Owen, it didn’t go well, as if my senses were different.

“As expected, holy magic is special. I didn’t think it would be this difficult to handle.”

In the game, all I had to do was press a single button.

I became more and more frustrated, and there were days when I was almost crushed by the anxiety of whether I could really fulfill my role as a saintess and save this world.

But I was the heroine. I believed that I would definitely be able to master it, and I told myself that I had to do so and worked hard.

“Nina is a hard worker. But don’t push yourself too hard. There is no one who can replace you.”

When I nodded, Owen softly narrowed his red-colored eyes and touched my cheek with his pure white hand.

“Ah, that’s right, you don’t need to use honorifics with me either. I want to be more than just friends with Nina, so Owen is fine.”

“….”

“I like that look of utter disbelief on your face. I think I’m going to like you.”

“….”

I only had a broad and shallow knowledge of everyone in the game because of the friendship ending of the game.

Among them, I knew that Owen was a womanizer character, but he was even more than I had imagined. He was always in my personal space and would hit on me whenever the opportunity arose.

I ignored it every time because I thought he was that way to everyone, but he didn’t seem to be discouraged at all.

“…. I’ll take your word for it and stop using honorifics. I want to get along well with Owen and everyone.”

“Yeah. I’m sure Nina can do it.”

“Thank you! Okay, one more time, please!”

Still, Owen was also the one who cared for me the most when I was all alone, and his presence helped me a lot.

◇◇◇

“Nina-sama, is there anything I can help you with?”

“Yes! I’m sorry to always disturb you all, you’ve been taking care of me all this while….”

“It’s no problem at all. Nina-sama is the Saintess who will save this world, so it’s only natural.”

The maids bowed their heads politely and left my own room──a large, luxurious room like a suite in the finest hotel in the royal castle.

The room was lined with luxurious clothes and jeweled accessories, and three meals were prepared for me, a feast that was more than I could eat.

There were also many personal attendants and maids, and I felt uncomfortable being treated as if I were a princess.

“…. Hahh.”

A loud sigh escaped my mouth as I collapsed into bed after a hard day’s work.

Incidentally, I asked Owen how do I return to my original world, but he told me clearly that there was no way. I couldn’t hide my surprise because I thought I would be able to go back once I cleared the mission objective.

I didn’t necessarily want to go back to that house, but I felt like there was no place for me in this world either, so my heart felt heavy.

“…. All right, let’s take a walk for a change!”

I slapped my cheeks with both hands and got up from the bed, thinking I shouldn’t be discouraged.

“──Ah.”

As soon as I stepped out into the corridor, I met Alvin-sama.

The people in this world were all beautiful, but Alvin-sama’s beauty stood out from the crowd. He always had no expression on his face, making him look like a finely crafted doll.

“Ah, good evening, Alvin-sama.”

“…. Yes.”

As usual, Alvin-sama’s attitude remained curt, and he passed by without even looking at me.

And as Theo had said, this kind of attitude wasn’t only towards me, but towards everyone.

“Alvin doesn’t open up to anyone. Not only to those of us who have known him for a long time, but even to his own family.”

I suddenly remembered Owen’s words and my heart ached. How lonely it must be to live like that.

I wondered why Alvin-sama had become like that, but there was no way for me to know, as I was no more than a stranger to him.
