The Extra Refuses Excessive Obsession - Chapter 16
Duke Cedric’s second son, Leonhardt Cedric, is quite upset now.
“I miss you, our baby…”
It is because it was so hard to see the face of her sister, whom he had met for the first time in 10 years.
Amelia, who had been stuck in the library for the past few days, left the house early in the morning.
Leonhardt’s ambitious plan to stay with Amelia was shattered.
“Young sis…”
He thought it was good to escape that sickening tower.
His teacher who is teasing him recently went to a good place, and there is nothing to fear from him after receiving the title Youngest Master of the Tower.
On the day of the funeral of Paris Rukate, the former tower owner and his teacher, Leonhardt packed without hesitation.
The only goal for him is to see his lovely sister Amelia.
“Oh, my Lord! I can’t believe the master is leaving the tower!”
“What do you mean Master of the Tower? Let go of me this instant! I’m going to see our youngest!”
“Master of the Tower!”
“Get lost!”
Leonhardt arranged the elders in the queue who were trying to drag his pants altogether.
He thought it was the tower that came to him on its own, and now he is sick and tired of it.
While stuck in the tower, his parents passed away, and not long after, his youngest sister disappeared, but he still could not take a step outside the tower.
It is because of his damning master rules.
‘The heir of the Tower must never leave the tower in case of an emergency.’
He is so talented that he suddenly became the heir to the tower in his first year.
This is why he is so tired. But now that he’s the owner of the tower, what are they going to do? Remove him instead into the post.
“If you pick one, then do it.”
Leonhardt blew his nose.
When he finally met their youngest sister, who became a decent lady, he was about to cry.
Even if they are blood related or she is not purely their sister, it isn’t really a problem for him. In Leonhardt’s eyes, she is their only lovely youngest.
Our youngest, you’ve always been pretty, but you’ve grown up gorgeously!
At that moment Leonhardt decided. He’s going to stick to their youngest sister every day and protect her.
‘Yeah, I definitely thought so.’
What the hell is the problem? Ten years amounting Amelia’s growth?
“I’m going alone.”
The 10-year-old youngest, who looked like she would burst like a juice just by touching her, became a grown-up in a short time. She’d grown way too much.
Oh, of course that is totally fine. Their youngest sis will still be cute even when she turns 100.
But it was their youngest sister’s attitude that shocked him.
Leonhardt’s proposal to accompany her to the downtown area is immediately rejected. He shouldn’t have been even more determined.
Yeah, a hundred concessions and he finally understands that. It is the same as being rejected for being blood related to her.
The real problem is that she left home early in the morning and didn’t think of asking if he wanted to come along.
“What time is it now!”
Leonhardt stamped his feet on the bed.
“Our youngest who used to be not capable of eating without me…”
His heart is so broken.
Of course, Amelia has never actually eaten with him, and it’s all just Leonhardt’s happiness circuit, but he’s still wounded from it.
Amelia left the duchy early in the morning, and for a while Leonhardt’s mood was so somber.
“…this is gonna work.”
Finally, he got up from his seat.
“I’ll go after her.”
Security guards and escorts should not be seen, right?
It just so happens that Leonhardt is good at it.
He did a great job in learning magic.
“Wait for me, our baby. Brother is coming for you.”
He thought tracking magic is easier than breathing.
Leonhardt, who soon found his younger sister in the downtown area, moved space without drawing magic. Then he settled on the roof of a slightly distant building and quickly hid his presence.
‘As expected, our youngest sis is so cute when I looked at her outside.’
She was so cute looking around with her golden eyes shining like honey.
Leonhardt forgot that he should being following her under the guise of security and almost ran to give her a kiss.
It was when he was holding back himself with his fist clenched, while he is crying and appreciating Amelia’s cuteness walking around the main street.
“I’m going to the mineral market in few minutes.”
Leonhardt couldn’t help but be startled by the sound from Amelia’s mouth.
‘Why would our precious little baby be in that rough place?’
She is a little embarrassed, but as if she had prepared everything, she took out makeup tools and costumes from her bag.
A clear answer came to Leonhardt’s mind when he saw it all.
That’s why she said he shouldn’t come with her.
At any rate, our youngest sis is cute in whatever she does.
It was then, no matter how escorted she is, a mineral market with guild members would be really dangerous.
Leonhardt is worried. And it took less than 30 seconds for him to reach a conclusion.
“No, I’ll go clean it up first.”
Isn’t that what bodyguard or escort is all about? Cleaning up and cleaning up her path so that she don’t get caught in a rolling stone.
He intended to remove all the risks before their younger sis arrived at the mineral market.
That’s how watching Amelia is all about.
“…what’s that?”
Someone is wandering around Amelia, who is busy dressing up as Monica.
A doll who is standing two blocks away.
It is so suspicious. The movement showed that it is not an ordinary human being.
Leonhardt thoughtlessly made a sharp aura and attacked the doll.
-Crash! Surprisingly, the opponent blocked Leonhardt’s blow. Ordinary people are long shattered if they are just passing by.
Leonhardt’s forehead had narrowed.
`This is going to make me tired.`
It was that moment. He took off the robe that his opponent is using.
Leonhardt, who confirmed his face, had no choice but to hesitate on the spot.
“…what the?”
Why is he here? Leonhardt looked at Bastian with a dazed look on his face.
Bastian, who noticed that it was his brother who attacked him, also frowned.
“Why are you here?”
“That’s the kind of brother I am.”
Leonhardt felt it is absurd.
Although he is playing and eating after escaping from the tower, Bastian is stuck in his office until two hours ago, saying he had a lot of work.
He went over his brother’s position disapprovingly.
“You said you had a lot of work to do.”
Even when he changed his clothes, They are all in stark black clothing. He had the same fashion like Leonhardt’s who is very determined and is tailing intently to Amelia.
He thought that they have the same purpose.
“Hey, don’t tell me.
“You, too?”
The faces of the two brothers crumbled.

The entrance to the mineral market is at the outskirts of the capital, under a mountain away from downtown. It is unusual since the entrance is like a shady place where guilds come and go.
Three of us, who had left a carriage nearby, stopped walking in front of her.
“Phew.”
It’s a shady atmosphere. I don’t know if a person had already died here.
“Are you ready?”
My guild members on both sides nodded when I asked them. The robe hat draped over my head and fluttered in the night breeze.
At the entrance there were two large gatekeepers. They are human beings who looked like they could use all their strength.
If they suspect them, they don’t have to say anything about the mineral market before they even look at the Full Moon Stone pieces.
“Who wants to go?”
I looked back at the two and asked.
I needed someone to act. I roughly named the guild, and I know how. It is not difficult to pass through without doubt.
Genezia, who is on my right, stepped out.
“I’ll do it.”
I’m sure you’d like want to big Genezia.
It was the moment I was about to nod. Monica stood in our way.
“No, I’ll do it.”
“Monica?”
“We’re in the mountains. Lord Hamilton, stay close to the lady, just in case something happens.”
“……”
“If anything happens, you have to take care of the lady first.”
She said, shaking her hands under the robe. In the meantime, the tip of my nose became sour when I look at them taking care of me.
“Monica, you don’t have to overdo it. This kind of stuff should be done by Gen—.”
“Lord Hamilton should escort you.”
Monica shook her head sternly, even though she is also frightened.
Even though the mineral market is a bit rough, it’s not that I’m nervous. Monica, who grew up beautifully in a noble family, seemed to be too worried.
I looked at Monica and asked her anxiously.
“I’m not confident, but… I’ll try.”
Then Monica who is grinning at me suddenly nodded.
I should give her a vacation when I get back. Maybe today is the most thrilling day of Monica’s life.
She approached them grimly.
I watched the scene with a nervous look.
I’ll take her out if I can. However, Monica’s subsequent actions is solidified on the spot.
“Hey, you s*it, get lost.”
S*it… you say?
“What are you doing? Being all whimpy. Spit.”
You said you weren’t confident? Monica, with her legs crossed, glared at them.
“Are you not getting away there?”
From speech to action, she is like a bully in the back alley.
The same seems to be true of Genezia who is right next to me. As I turned around, her scarlet eyes were shaking vigorously.
“…she said he’s a s*it, right?”
“She even spit phlegm, too.”
We shut up right on the side.
Whether or not, Monica frowned and stared at the gatekeeper. Even though the difference in size is nearly twice as big, she looks like she is not discouraged at all.
I know this. I’ve seen this similar scene on an animal farm. It’s like a Chihuahua that is right in front of a bulldog.
Staring at her, the gatekeeper spoke.
“Name.”
“Gemoa Guild.”
“…I’ve never heard of that name before.”
“We are just a new guild that started.”
It happened exactly two hours ago. For your information, Gemoa was named after Genezia, Monica and Amelia. There is no need to make a name that would be discarded after one day anyway.
“Newbie guild?”
The gatekeeper’s eyes narrowed. He had a suspicious look on her. He threw his eyes behind Monica’s back.
“Are they your guild members?”
He asked us in the back, who is just standing at the back calmly as we can be.
We felt a dense tension between me and Genezia.
But Monica did not shook at all.
“Talk properly. One of those people is our noble guild leader.”
“…….”
“Spit!”
I’m not going to give you a vacation when I go back, I’m going to look for a troupe. Monica is closes to be a rotten talented person in the annex.
The gatekeeper drew attention with a dubious look on his face. He asked Monica.
“…the moon rising from the west?”
He still had a vigilant way of speaking, but I called joy just for myself.
If that question is asked, half of us will be passed. I know the answer to the problem better than anyone else.
Monica answered as I taught her.
“Eat the stars.”
“The moon rising from the west eats stars.”
It was a code that the backstreet guilds necessarily share when they turn on transactions.
The “moon rising from the west” meant numerous guilds and “stars” are the one existing in the empire, the information and objects they held.
The face of the gatekeeper, who heard the answer, had visibly softened. He stepped aside by the door.
“Get in.”
It’s finally done!
