The Extra's Return-Chapter 6 Detoxification

?"So Willa's room is here."

I pondered for a moment, muttering to myself.

I stood in front of a door.

Previously, after I came out of the dining room, I had time to walk around the mansion.

When I thought of what I wanted to do, I immediately thought of Willa's current condition.

So, I immediately asked one of the maids that I met by accident. When I asked, the maid looked very surprised. I could clearly read her thoughts from the expression she showed.

'How can Young Master forget about Young Miss's room?' That's probably how her mind works. I felt I could see the words inside her brain floating above her head.

'I have no memory of the owner of this body, you know!' I wanted to say that, but I couldn't.

Without further conversation, the maid had immediately directed me to this place.

That was how I was able to stand in front of Willa's bedroom door.

The ornaments on the door, which are full of carved floral ornaments, truly symbolize the owner's thoughts.

After I knocked, Willa, who was inside the room, opened the door.

"Who is that?"

"It's me."

After seeing that the person who had come was me, she opened her eyes wide.

She wasn't the only one surprised, but I was also surprised by her appearance which had changed in less than half a day.

She was like someone who was seriously sick.

Her eyes looked very heavy. The movements she makes are also very slow. But, even though she looks like a sick person, she still looks beautiful.

Because I had also drunk that poison before, I also knew what she felt.

"Why are you here?"

"Well, I just wanted to see your condition."

"Are you here to insult me?"

"Of course not."

Oh, come to think of it, she had no idea that I had found out about Baron Warwick's scheme.

Did she think that I would hate her? 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

"Don't worry. I know that you didn't poison me on purpose. I know that you did it because you were forced to."

"W-who's worried about that." She averted her eyes from me. "So, you did know that the drink contained poison. Then, how did you know that I was forced to give it to you?"

"I still have good hearing."

I answered while pointing at my ear.

She looked left and right in confusion. Her tiny fingers twirled around like a drunk.

After hesitating for a moment, she invited me to enter.

In the bedroom which was decorated with flowers and there were also several dolls, a man and a woman were sitting on the bed. Those two people were Willa and me.

By the way, this was my first time entering a girl's room.

"So, what's the real reason you came here?"

"Aren't you experiencing symptoms of poisoning?"

"D-don't worry, it's not a life-threatening poison."

"If you don't mind, I can help you eliminate the poison in your body."

"Are you sure you can do that?"

"Sure. Just give me your hand."

I asked for her hand.

Willa looked at me with a murderous face. It's like she doesn't believe me.

It's not like I want to r*pe you. Why are you looking at me so fiercely?

If only my eyes could speak, such words would probably come out.

Really, I don't know anything about women.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally stretched out her hand. Then I hold her hand. I didn't hold her hand like a couple but like a doctor checking a patient's pulse. Even so, I can still feel her soft skin.

[Poison Resistance skill is active!]

This time, I will apply to Willa.

I closed my eyes.

I ignored the gentle touch of Willa's smooth and soft skin.

Once again, when I focused on moving Mana that I had activated, I felt the atmosphere like diving into the deep sea.

Hurk!

In the middle of the process, I seemed to hear the sound of something, but since I was still focused, I ignored it.

***

A few little time had passed

I opened my eyes.

I have successfully completed the task of diving in the deep sea. This was an achievement for me.

I felt like I wanted to give myself a reward for successfully eliminating the poison in Willa's body.

Without me having to put in any effort, a gift was waiting for me when I opened my eyes.

"..."

I'm speechless.

What a pity, not a gift that makes people happy, but a gift that makes people angry that I got.

I found that my whole body was covered in vomit.

The pungent smell was all over the room. When I inhaled it, I also felt the smell. But I didn't react too much.

"S-sorry."

Willa said sorry while looking down. Her face was as red as a tomato.

"It's okay, I knew it would turn out like this."

I replied flatly.

After all, vomit like this was everywhere when you're in the slums area. So, I am used to it. The smell of vomit and feces has dominated most of my memories.

What she found disgusting had become commonplace to me.

She couldn't seem to stand the smell of her own vomit. Over her head, an idea popped up, which she immediately did.

"Take off your clothes. It's already dirty."

Before I could reply to Willa's words, she had already started to approach me and forcibly removed my shirt.

Uh, isn't this like a r*pe scene?

In the midst of her busyness taking off my clothes, there was a sound, knock-knock on the bedroom door.

"Young Lady, I brought your food."

The sound was coming from her maids.

All of a sudden, Willa froze into an ice sculpture. Her hand, which was already half-opening my shirt, stopped in the middle of the road.

Did she finally understand what she was doing?

I grabbed her frozen hand and freed myself from her grip.

"I'll hide in the bathroom."

I whispered to Willa in her ear. Above her head suddenly came out a smoke. I ignored her reaction and hurried to my feet.

Every bedroom in this mansion comes with a bathroom. So, I quickly went inside.

After I hid, Willa sent the maid in.

"Huh, why is there vomit here? Are you okay, miss?"

"I'm fine. Just clean it up."

At once, she asked them to clean up the vomit in the room.

After the room was quiet again, I went back out. I saw that she still looked embarrassed.

"Is your body getting better?"

She nodded slowly without answering.

'Did she really trust the previous owner of this body?' I think about the detoxification that I did earlier.

The detoxification process can be very risky if something goes wrong.

It can only be done if one has mutual trust. After all, to do so, I had to be completely focused. And the defense on Willa's Mana Core must also be completely disabled.

I didn't know what happened in the past between the owner of this body and Willa, but it seemed like Willa really trusted him.

I suddenly wondered, what was the relationship between Willa and the owner of this body before?

But I wouldn't be able to find an answer to that.

"Alright, I'll be out then."

I was getting ready to leave when Willa suddenly grabbed the hem of my shirt, making me stop halfway. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

"Hey, wait a minute. ...I-I'm sorry about the poison that I gave to you this morning. I don't know why you suddenly turned out like this, but I like the way you are. And... T-thank you for healing me. Even though I could have asked the father for an antidote, I wouldn't dare to. So, once again, thank you."

Willa bowed low to me. Her long hair fell freely like a waterfall beautifully. Maybe she would look like a grown woman in public, but now she looked like a girl of her age, namely a 14-year-old girl.

Puk...

I patted her head lightly.

In fact, I was actually just trying to make her a guinea pig to test if the Poison Resistance skill could be used to treat people.

Regardless, it was not bad to receive an apology from her.

In my previous life, Willa's fate had been tragic. She would be one of the many girls who made up Jullian's harem.

In the novel itself, there was no mention of a girl named Willa. But through my previous life, I knew that she would be made into a collection by the hero.

Unfortunately, being part of the hero's collection does not mean happiness. I'm not sure, but I had heard that she lost a battle with another woman in the protagonist's harem.

To be sure, I had known that one day, she would be found dead in the middle of the forest. Many say she was found in a sad state. But I didn't know what happened to her back then.

Since I had to be her half-brother, I'll protect her as much as I can. I'm not saying 'Definitely' because I'm not a hero, I'm just an extra character, but at least I can still do something.

"No problem. Then, I'll leave first."

***

After I closed Willa's bedroom door, I could hear her voice. As well as various sounds of furniture slamming into the ground.

I thought she was crazy, so I wanted to check. But I gave up my intention after hearing what she said.

"Aaaahhh! Wasn't that just a confession? Am I crazy? He's my own brother! Eh, that's not what I meant! Aaaahh...."

Ignoring the commotion Willa was making, I walked away while pondering for quite a while.

So this was the beginning of the 3rd month?!

Before I left Willa's room, I had asked what today's date was.

And she had replied, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the 3rd day, 3rd month, and 990th year of the Sovereign Calendar."

According to the plot of the novel, now, Jullian was still focused on increasing his strength. In other words, he was still relatively weak.

Of course, as weak as the main character was, an extra character like me was still much weaker.

So, with my weak self, should I just run away and avoid everything?

"..."

Really, that was a ridiculous question.

Indeed, I could just ignore all that and live my own life. It means I would live my own life, while the protagonist—Jullian Arkie, will live his own protagonist life.

But after many things that happened in my previous life, I wouldn't be able to ignore them anymore.

'Is this fate?

I hope that the experience of 11 years in my previous life, as well as a little information from the novel I had remembered, will help my plans for the future.

After seeing the destruction of Heinsburg City and the betrayal that had been committed by the hero, I had to rely on myself for a better future.

It was possible that I would end up fighting Jullian sooner than I expected. Therefore, I must also be quicker in improving my strength.

At the very least, I should become strong enough to be able to fight Jullian in less than a month.

'Sounds pretty impossible.

I feel like I want to complain.

However, I have to do that. Because, approximately one month from now, the hero awakening event will happen.

In order to prevent Jullian from becoming a hero, I must become strong enough. That was the main reason why I had to become strong immediately.

I think near here there was a place called Fier Mountain. Perhaps I should go there first to train.

Alright, I'll think about it later, after the troubles in this house are over.
