As a villain, I raised a defeated dog to become a black boss

Not only has he always expressed the hope of joining his adventure team.

And he is also willing to go to various difficult dungeons with him.

Even...saved his life many times.

like...

She has no other "wish" in this world. Forming a team with Will and exploring various dungeons together is the only meaning of her life.

Maybe I'm worrying too much.

An adventurer like Shona who seems to be very gregarious and very powerful may just have long since passed the "achievement" or "material" needs of pursuing dungeons and just wants to have some fun.

"Really? I originally thought that with my ability, you would definitely need a support person like me in the team, and you begged me not to let me leave."

A trace of "disappointment" flashed across Shona's face. She was not pretending, and it was precisely because of this that it just flashed across her face.

Looking at Shona like this...

Will suddenly remembered some memories that were not clear at first.

This description is a description of the mentality of "someone": forming a team with others to enter the dungeon is the most important thing in his life, but people around him feel that he does not take anything from the team, and maybe he is not serious at all. Just having fun, feel free to kick it out.

It was so familiar, almost like he was retelling it exactly as it was.

This……

This is the description of the protagonist Xiu in the original work.

People will be kicked out of the team precisely because they give people such an "illusion".

And the reason why he cares so much about "Qiming Star" has not been told to anyone.

Because, when he was in Qiming Star, he regarded it as his life's work, and regarded the dead "captain" as his most important friend.Otherwise, he wouldn't have become as crazy as he did later.

Speaking of which, he had noticed before that Xiuna matched her unexpectedly in terms of hair color, eye color, school she attended, and age.

Now he fully understands the disappearance of the original protagonist.

If you think about it again, there will be more matching elements——

The time when she "accidentally" joined Qiming Star coincided with the time when the protagonist rejoined Qiming Star as described in the original work.

The position is logistics - although the reason is because I instilled some strange things when I wrote to her.

Even the identity of "Shen Nian Zhe" is exactly the same.

The number of divine concentrators is not large - due to its particularity in the worldview.

……

Could it be that……? !

The only thing that didn't match up at all was the personality. Whether in the former Qiming Star or later in the "Will" team, Xiu didn't have such a cheerful personality as Xiu Na.

If that's the case, would it be impossible to "retire" her from the team at such a "wrong" time?

"Okay. I know, you said that for my own good."

Shona didn't seem to notice that Will had so many things going through his mind at once in this short period of time, so he simply stretched.

His expression was as relaxed as usual, as if he had anticipated this incident.

"You... saw it."

"Since it's your decision, then... I'm too embarrassed to stay."

"It's okay. I taught you this. I understand it very well."

"You really won't be completely controlled by the other party like last time?"

"will not."

"Isn't it like last time, where you were drugged and unconscious?"

"Really not!"

"Wouldn't it be like last time, stripped clean and squeezed dry?"

"This time I have the advantage!"

When Xiuna heard this, she even smiled.

"Well, if you insist on going to the capital, at least hire some thugs, or ask your father for help?"

"...You sound like my mother when you say this."

"Hey, dear son, how about calling me? Forget it, it makes it seem like I'm interested in your rotten father."

……

The joke seems to be over here.

The two people, who were both good at chatting, fell into silence.

"Then let's separate here and see you again when we have a chance. Oh, you can still write letters, but you don't need to be anonymous. Just write to 'Shuna' at the Adventurers Association.

"

"Ah."

"I'll go this way, and you can go out that way. There's a carriage leading to the capital."

"it is good."

"See you then. As the captain, don't forget to find time to go to the association to cancel me. Otherwise, I am not a free adventurer and it will be difficult to find a commission."

"That may have to wait until I get to the capital. The missing person notice has just been posted here. I don't dare to go to the Adventurer's Association in the city center."

"it is good."

This time it was Shona's turn to reply with just one word.

"Okay, the journey must come to an end. Goodbye!"

Xiuna waved her hand, turned around and walked out towards the busy street with people coming and going.

Her back became smaller and smaller in the light, and finally completely disappeared from the light at the end of the road.

Will didn't leave in a hurry, but stood there and observed.

Shona might be the kind of person who would suddenly turn around and hug him when he was already walking out, "lied to you".

but……

No.

Her strand of black hair blended into the crowd and never appeared again.

it looks like...

Is this considered "Will" forcing her to quit the team?

But the time when Xiu was kicked out of the team was quite different from the original work.

she……

She shouldn't really be the protagonist of the original work, right?

do not know why.

Will hoped that this was true, that she was just Shona and had nothing to do with the character in the original work.

may be because……

During the long, long period of correspondence with "S", he regarded her as someone completely different from the person in the story.

A person who truly belongs to his own society, a person who belongs to his story.

If you tell him that Shona is "the gender change of the protagonist" at this time, he may feel that "fate" is even more unfair.

In his destiny, the people involved are always inseparable from the established and arranged story.

Chapter 2 "Can I get double salary?" (3k))

"Okay, now we should go to the capital as Shona said."

Will walks down the street with his hood on.

Because the "Moonlight Ice Pole" was captured, the adventurers here were gradually withdrawing.

only……

Very few people go to the capital.

The only underground city near the capital is probably the "Tenth Castlevania", and the capital is a very unwelcome place for adventurers - even the association is built in such a bad way.

Well, if no one is in the car, he won't be recognized.

So--

While waiting for the bus, come and sort out your plans!

A good Will who is self-disciplined, self-reliant and conscious should seize the fragmented time and organize his thoughts.

The first step is to reach the capital!

The second step is to rush to the palace to find Treya!

The third step is to successfully influence her and make her not a yandere!

OK, perfect!

These three items immediately appeared in Will's blank mind. ,

……

"This is not a plan at all, it sounds like 'how to put an elephant in the refrigerator'!"

He hugged his brain tightly and knocked hard!

Will had already imagined that he rushed to the palace empty-handed, and then couldn't utter a single word of enlightenment. Treya saw it at a glance and threw him into the cold palace. Is there a cold palace in a Western-style palace?

If plan A doesn’t pass, change it again.

The first step is to take a carriage and reach the capital as quickly as possible.

The second step is to rush to the palace, bring beautiful roses, and come to Treya.

The third step is to confess your true feelings and tell your fiancé that you really love him.

In Will's blank mind, he revised the above three items with a red pen and wrote a new plan.

……

——"Wake up, don't you still know about Treya, who you taught yourself?! Is she the kind of woman who can fool her with roses?!"

He tightly hugged his brain and hammered it twice!

"Think again, think again, don't be impatient..."

Will stepped back from the short queue to go to the capital and began to pace nearby with his head lowered.

"Plan C...replace the roses with jasmine? No, no, doesn't this seem even less romantic? And the Entak royal family uses roses."

"Plan D...give her a look like, 'Humph, I don't want to come back, if I don't see you looking for me again'...it seems a bit of a character collapse."

……

"Plan AZ...forget it, stop it."

Will realized something.

He is so confident.

He did know Treya.

but……

It was precisely because of this understanding that I rejected so many plans.

He knew very well that Treya was a "difficult to fool" person.

As a princess, she has no shortage of material needs, as you can tell by looking at the expensive dolls in her room.

Her hobbies are very narrow, maybe because as a half-elf, her elven bloodline has a certain aloofness from the world.

After turning dark, she must be good at seeing Will's little thoughts.
