RE: The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 27 - Princess Carry

"You're moving with these every day?"

Curtis said, amusement and shock can be heard in his voice.

"It's not that heavy before, I just added some more weights this morning."

I casually responded to him.

Then, he started removing my training bracelets to free me from the weights... Curtis was looking at me weirdly as he does that.

I just ignored him. I looked around, searching.

"What are you looking for?"

Aoi asked.

"I can't see Yuki... She went out as soon as my arms fell on the table."

I replied.

I saw Yuki come out of the ring and immediately, she flew away.

"I also saw her fly away, I thought you instructed her to do that."

Adelle said.

They all know that Yuki is smart, except for Curtis who doesn't even know who she is.

Anyway, I shook my head.

"She has her own mind so she can make her own decisions, I didn't give her a command this time."

"Then isn't this bad?"

Alec said in a worried voice.

'He's really all friendly now with me.'

It's not even that long since we met.

Well... It's not an unpleasant feeling, so whatever.

"It's okay, she's smart."

I replied to him confidently.

And just a minute after I said that—the library's door burst open.

Bam!

Then from it—

"There you are."

Yuki appeared and flew toward me, she looked disoriented.

-Kyuuu!

I'm pretty low on mana so I can't connect to her senses and feelings, but I'm already familiar with her so I can tell that she's worried.

-Kyuuu!

I smiled, looking at her flying toward me.

But my smile didn't last for long... It turned into a frown after seeing someone familiar entering the library.

A very beautiful and enticing woman with fiery-red eyes and hair.

It was Ruby...

All of the students' attention shifted to her and murmurs started spreading throughout the library.

Curtis and Eve also looked at her with surprise.

And Ruby... She looked in my direction.

'I have a bad feeling about this...'

And just as I thought of that... Ruby's figure disappeared from my sight!

SWISH—

Then she reappeared beside me!

With us being close to each other—all the boys around glared at me.

'Fucking hell!'

I cursed inwardly, feeling the hate directed at me.

On the other hand—Alec, Adelle, Aoi, and Blake looked at Ruby and me with meaningful eyes.

While Eve and Curtis were looking at just Ruby with admiration.

Though when they saw me... A frown appeared on their faces.

Talk about being unfair.

Whatever, I ignored everyone around me.

"Why are you here?"

I whispered to Ruby's ear.

She got flustered and held her ear that I whispered on.

'Ah, right... Her ears are sensitive.'

I thought and frowned a little. Because of her reaction just now—the glares toward me became more intense.

"Ehem..."

Ruby cleared her throat and fixed her posture.

Her ears are still red though.

'She's cute.'

I unconsciously thought.

"I was on my way to my office when I suddenly saw Yuki, flying... She seemed to be in a hurry at that time, then she saw me and approached me, that's when Yuki told me that you were in trouble."

"So I followed her here."

Ruby explained as she looked at my body, checking for any injury.

By the way, after eating some monster cores—Yuki became faster at flying and she became smarter.

Moving on...

Adelle and Alec smirked at me after hearing Ruby's words.

Blake nodded his head.

Aoi, Eve, and Curtis are pretending not to care... But you can feel mana gathering in their ears to gossip.

"How the hell did Yuki tell you that I'm in trouble?"

I asked. I'm the only one who can communicate with Yuki properly, by connecting our minds.

Also, based on how fast Ruby arrived here... It means that she understood Yuki easily and quickly.

Ruby looked at me briefly, then opening her mouth—

"Yuki came tweeting loudly and acted like you... She frowned then pretended to pass out. After her act, she tweeted as if she was crying."

She explained casually, still checking for injury in my body.

"..."

I frowned.

"Yeah like that, that's her face when she imitated you."

Then Ruby suddenly spoke, pointing at my face.

I looked at Yuki.

Yuki, who was in my hand, didn't look at me.

Instead—she flew on top of my head and avoided my eyes.

Pfft–

I saw Adelle holding her laugh.

Blake is looking at Yuki like she did a good job.

Alec is trying to hide his smile, but I can see it clearly.

Aoi and Eve sneered at me.

Curtis didn't know what's funny, so he's looking at everyone weirdly.

Anyway, I didn't get angry at Yuki as I know that she was just worried I exhausted my mana again. She already saw me in a pitiful state before after all—after my fight with Velcro.

"Anyway, are you okay?"

Ruby asked me.

"I'm fine, just tired."

I answered, then I explained to her what happened.

That I'm just exhausted... Physically.

"Then... Are you gonna turn into 'that' again?"

Ruby asked me in a meaningful tone and voice.

I immediately understood that she meant if I'll turn into a cat again.

She knows that when I'm exhausted, I turn into a cat.

I'm also worried about this. So with an awkward smile on my face—

"Yeah, probably."

I replied to her.

If I pass out, the system will transform me into a cat even if there are people around.

It said it's for the best for my health. The shitty system just wouldn't listen to me.

Moving on, after hearing that—

Ruby took the training bracelets on the table that Curtis removed from my arms.

It looked light when she picked it up.

But my surprise didn't end there as she suddenly picked me up like a princess!

"What the hell are you doing?"

I asked her, raising my voice a little. I'm pretty embarrassed so my ears turned red.

Adelle, Alec, Aoi, and Blake were grinning at me like idiots.

Eve has this complicated face, she seems to like seeing me embarrassed, but hate seeing me being carried by Ruby.

Curtis was the same as Eve.

"I'll bring you to my room."

Ruby whispered to me.

"Why?"

"You need to rest, and I really don't want 'that' to be revealed to some random people."

Ruby's whispering is useless as the group can hear her clearly.

So the group got curious about what 'that' is.

"Then at least piggyback me..."

I grumbled with an annoyed voice.

But Ruby just smiled. And I frowned seeing that.

"Oh, you want to ride me from behind... You're so naughty."

She said slyly in a low voice. But the group also heard it.

Adelle, Aoi, and Alec blushed.

Blake was dumbfounded.

While Curtis and Eve were processing what they just heard.

"Shut up and just get me out of here!"

I exclaimed. I'm gonna die from embarrassment so I don't want to stay here any longer!

Ruby then looked at the others and opened her mouth.

"I'll borrow him for the day."

She said slyly to the group and immediately dashed outside the library, not letting me utter a word to the others.

'I can't even say goodbye.'

But to be fair, I don't think I can talk to them right now.
