Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 234 Days of Leisure... Part-1.
Chapter 234 Days of Leisure… Part-1.
Three Days ago.
When the meeting of Gods started and all the SS-ranker and S-rankers that arrived from all over the world went into seclusion to discuss important matters, the students they brought were also not sitting idly.
Some went to the shopping area to buy local elven goods, and some toured the whole Capital city over the course of those three days.
During these three days of free time, several members of the younger generation encountered each other while wandering around in the vast city and ended up becoming friends with each other.
Although everyone was having a relaxing time, they all knew that no one who was able to make it here was weak.
Each of the students has gone through rigorous tests to make it to this tournament, thus not even a single candidate who came here is weak.
Thus, while touring the city people also tried to gather as much information as possible about the others.
This is an early preparation tactic, the three days of time is obviously given for this reason too.
Everyone was trying to poke others for more information but no one came to trouble Link until now for obvious reasons.
…
Link’s Room.
Link buttoned his shirt and combed his hair.
He smiled at himself while looking at the full-body mirror.
“Good, time to go!” (Link)
Yesterday, Link was utterly bored while sitting in the room all day long, so he decided to go and wander around the city for some sightseeing today.
Link opened the door of his room and went over to Riya’s room first as he wanted to take her with him on this trip.
*Knock**Knock*
Like the gentleman he is, he knocked on the door and waited for Riya to open the door.
*Siuuuu~* (Voice of cold air blowing in utter silence)
Five minutes went by but there was no response.
Link knocked on the door again but there was no response again.
“What happened, is she still asleep?” (Link)
Link glanced at the password interface and entered:
‘Ilovecandies’ (Yeah, that’s literally the password Riya uses on every single thing…)
Link has known this password since years ago, after all, he was the one who suggested this password to her during their childhood days, and Riya has always been using this password since then.
‘Such a weak password, she makes me worried for no reason…’ (Link)
Link simply shook his head and entered the room.
Entering the room, Link saw utter destruction of the atmosphere.
Shoes, towels, chairs, candy wrappers, etc, things were scattered all over the floor.
There were so many things scattered over the ground that it was difficult to walk.
‘She made this mess in just one night? Ugh, when the elven cleaning staff comes, the image of the human race will be affected by this I think…’ (Link)
Link swiftly made his way to the living room.
The TV was still on and beside a large heap of things, Riya was sleeping on the floor near the couch while hugging a pillow.
Saliva covered her cheek and candy wrappers were scattered all over the floor around her.
Link shook his head in defeat.
He bent down and carefully placed her on the couch after picking her up from the floor.
‘Hmm, has she lost weight… she somehow feels lighter than before… her eyes have dark circles under them too… did she perhaps watch TV all night yesterday?’ (Link)
Just when Link was contemplating what to do in his mind, Riya started to sleep talk.
“nooo~ Link that’s my candy~” (Riya)
Hearing her talk about candies even in her dreams, Link shook his head in defeat.
‘Ugh, this girl… even her dreams are about me stealing her candies…’ (Link)
Link went ahead and pinched her cheeks in annoyance.
“Uuuuhh” (Riya)
Riya slowly opened her eyes from the pain of her cheeks being stretched by Link.
Her eyes went blurry in an instant.
“It hurts…” (Riya)
“Then get up, it’s already morning you know, the sun has already started to rise!” (Link)
But Riya closed her eyes again.
“Let me sleep five more minutes…” (Riya)
Link pinched her cheeks again and she had no choice but to wake up angrily.
“Link you meanie!” (Riya)
While rubbing her reddened cheeks and a pout hanging over her face, she ran away to take a shower.
Link simply smiled as he thought that her pouting face looked cute.
He was being especially careful not to use too much strength, otherwise, his insane strength could seriously hurt her.
Still, it hurts to have your cheeks pinched by a guy who can tank Rio’s sword intent with bare hands.
…
Around the same time, On the destroyed hill.
“I knew you would come!” (Al)
“Well, If I hadn’t come, you would have pestered me, no?” (Rio)
This place used to have a hill just yesterday and now it has become flat ground due to the commotion that Al caused during his ascension.
With a smile on his face, Al stretched out his hand toward Rio.
“It’s good that you came, I wanted to thank you for yesterday-” (Al)
Rio shook hands with Al but didn’t take the credit.
“All I did was just say some random motivational words… it was your own efforts that helped you in the end…” (Rio)
Al scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment.
“Even so, if you hadn’t given me that advice I might have still been wandering around with no purpose to live…” (Al)
“Last night I suddenly had an epiphany and was able to break through rank S due to your advice… so I would like to thank you for it…” (Al)
Al brought out an invitation card from his space ring and handed it over to Rio.
“We will hold a small party two days from now when the meeting of the gods ends, this is an invitation to that party, you can bring any number of friends you want to that party…” (Al)
“It’s a private party, so only my family members and a few friends of my father are invited… you can enjoy a hearty meal if you come…” (Al)
Rio took the invitation card from Al without hesitation.
“Well if it’s a meal then I won’t decline… we have quite a lot of foodies in our team…” (Rio)
Al nodded his head and smiled.
“By the way, I wanted to ask a question… uh, how you figured out that I had a ‘broken’ path…” (Al)
At Al’s question, Rio made up a lie on the spot.
“I know someone who once suffered from the same condition… besides, your aura looked weirdly weak compared to usual A-rankers… I am more surprised that your parents didn’t notice this phenomenon until now…” (Rio)
“They are much more knowledgeable compared to me after all…” (Rio)
At Rio’s words, Al shook his head in sadness.
“Well, my parents have always been too busy with work to notice anything different about me, I guess… but I don’t blame them for it though…” (Al)
Al glanced at the vast city with a smile on his face.
“After all they have been working for the sake of a bright future for the whole Elven Empire… and I will likely follow in their path too eventually…” (Al)
Rio’s face remained as emotionless as always, but his interest was piqued by Al all of a sudden.
“So, what type of King will you become?” (Rio)
Al smiled at Rio’s question and said with a determined look on his face.
“A King who will devote his whole being to the bright future of this empire… just like my Father…” (Al)
“Is that so…” (Rio)
Rio nodded his head at Al’s words.
They both stood in silence as they stared at the rising sun.
‘Perhaps that rising sun is a sign of the rise of a new era for the Elven Empire…’ (Rio)
(And that’s how Rio turned another villain character into a decent person…)
…
Riya’s Room
After a whole hour, Riya finally got ready.
When she returned to the living room, she found that the whole place had been cleaned up and there was no trash to be found in sight anymore.
Link was sitting on the couch and was playing games on his smartphone at the moment.
Riya walked over to him and said with a pout on her face.
“Thanks for cleaning the room, but I haven’t forgiven you for earlier…” (Riya)
Link sighed in defeat and patted her head.
“There there, no need to get so angry at me, I was just messing around a bit…” (Link)
“Oh, I almost forgot, I came over to ask you if you wanted to go and hang out around the city with me…” (Link)
“It’s a rare opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere of the Capital city of Rhymel, we shouldn’t waste this opportunity by sitting in this small room all day long…” (Link)
Even at Link’s attempt to quell her anger, Riya simply continued to pout her reddened cheeks.
“No, I am not going! Hmph!” (Riya)
“Sigh~ too bad, I was thinking of seeing what the famous sweets of the Elven Empire tasted like, I guess we won’t be able to experience them…” (Link)
“Also I heard that the local candies made here in the Elven empire taste a lot different than the ones made back at home… it would be such a shame to miss this opportunity to taste them-” (Link)
“I-I will go! I-I am only going because of the candies, okay! I haven’t forgiven you yet!” (Riya)
“Yes, yes…” (Link)
Link wiped the dripping saliva from her excited face with a handkerchief and smiled at her happy face.
‘Maybe I shouldn’t have pinched her face that harder… sigh~’ (Link)
