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

A New Morning 2

I went to Dirk first, who was about to go to work with a terrible complexion, as if it was the end of the world.

I hastily cast a recovery spell on him, and his complexion immediately improved.

“…. Thank you for your help. You really saved me.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at Dirk, who thanked me as if his life had been saved and bowed his head repeatedly.

“Sorry, I’ll try not to drink again.”

“If you get sick again, I’ll fix you up, so it’s okay.”

“Also, did I say something strange? I can barely remember last night.”

“No, you didn’t say anything strange.”

I was sure that he would be bothered if I tried to explain things, and it was true that Dirk didn’t say anything strange.

After that, he thanked me earnestly and promised to buy me my favorite cake after work.

“Ninaaa…. I thought I was going to die…. Bluegh….”

“Geez, you’re overreacting.”

I visited Theo’s room shortly thereafter and found him mumbling “I’m probably going to die,” “I hate drinking,” and “It’s tough,” and he clung to me when he saw my face.

But as soon as he was feeling better thanks to recovery magic, he said, “We had a good time yesterday! When do you want to have another drink?” I laughed again because it was so like Theo.

“Nina-chan…. you’re late…. I’ve been waiting for you to come for a long time…. ugh….”

Of all of them, Lara seemed to be the sickest, unable to even get out of bed. Everyone was really an irresponsible adult.

After curing her hangover, Lara said, “I want to talk to you, so wait a minute,” and headed for the bathroom.

I had no other plans for the day, so I waited for her while drinking tea and playing with her familiar, Dragon.

“W-Wait a minute! Clothes! Get dressed properly please!”

“What’s with that reaction? We’re both women, so it’s fine.”

Lara eventually emerged from the bathroom, wearing only a single towel lightly wrapped around her, and I hurriedly cover my face with both hands.

Seeing me like that, Lara laughed at me. She then put on a bathrobe, dried her hair with magic, and sat down next to me.

It was refreshing to see Lara with her hair down, and it made me a little nervous. She was still an overwhelmingly beautiful woman, and my eyes were drawn to her.

“Ahhh, I feel refreshed. I’m back to life, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Lara summoned her maid to make some tea, and then she crossed her long legs and turned to face me.

“So? How was last night?”

“W-What about…?”

“Something happened with Alvin, right?”

The distance between us was slowly closed. Lara’s dark purple hair swayed softly, and the scent of shampoo tickled my nose.

“How did you know?”

“That’s the only reason Nina is so dressed up in the morning. You’re really cute.”

“Ugh…..”

Lara giggled and repeated with a curious look on her face.

“So, what happened?”

Despite my embarrassment, I wanted to discuss this morning’s events with her, so I began to tell Lara about last night.

“…. Oh my! Well, well, well!”

And after I had largely finished speaking, Lara put her hand over her mouth and repeated the word “Well” as if she were impressed.

As for me, it was more embarrassing than I imagined to put yesterday’s events into words, and my face couldn’t help but turn red.

“Honestly, I’m surprised. I thought it would only be a little flirting, but I didn’t expect that──”

“Ahhhhhh! Don’t say any more!”

I covered Lara’s mouth with my hands in a panic and shouted out loud.

Even I, who provoked him first, thought that it would be over after just doing it once.

“But today, Alvin-sama was so curt….”

“He’s probably dying of guilt.”

“Guilt? Why?”

Lara brushed back her bangs and snickered at my apparent confusion.

“Think about it. He didn’t take Nina’s drunken words with a grain of salt, ignored your resistance, and did whatever he wanted.”

“What? But I said I was only a little drunk, and I meant it──”

“But from his point of view, that’s the real truth. I think he’s feeling sorry that he went too far, and he didn’t have the courage to face Nina.”

“Oh, no…”

Feeling embarrassed and breathless, I lightly pushed Alvin-sama’s chest and resisted, but it wasn’t that I hate it.

But it might have been enough for him to reflect and regret after he was alone and calm.

“There’s no way he could have put up with what happened, and I don’t blame him.”

“…..”

I didn’t want to create a distance with Alvin-sama. I genuinely liked him and wanted to get close to him.

“I need to see Alvin-sama and talk to him.”

“Yeah, that will do. This kind of misunderstanding will be resolved in seconds.”

I must first tell him that it was what I sincerely wanted. I reflected on the fact that I should have taken action in the first place when I was sober, instead of relying on the power of alcohol. I hated myself for being timid.

“But it’s good that you finally realized that you like Alvin. I had a feeling that you did.”

“… Yes. I don’t think I can imagine a life without Alvin-sama anymore.”

Before I knew it, Alvin-sama, who was always by my side, had become a big presence in my heart.

Most importantly, I was aware of my feelings and felt them growing as we continued to be close to each other. It was still difficult to catch up with his heavy feelings, though.

When I said honestly that I would miss Alvin-sama if he were gone and couldn’t bear it, for some reason Lara clicked her tongue and said, “I’m so frustrated,” and “He took my Nina.”

“Argh, I can just imagine Alvin being giddy that he successfully court you and asserting his dominance. It pisses me off.”

I tried to deny that there was no reason to do such a childish thing, but then I realized that Alvin-sama would totally do it.

I remembered that he have had childlike exchanges with Theo and Dirk in the past regarding me.

“So, what was Alvin’s reaction when you told him that you liked him? Did he cry after all?”

“…. Eh.”

“He seemed so slow, I bet he never even dreamed that Nina would like him──Nina? Hey!”

Lara tilted her head and waved her hand in front of my dumbfounded face.

On the other hand, I was in despair, holding my head in my hands, when I realized a terrible fact.

“…. Have I not told Alvin-sama that I like him…?”
