An Extra Who Wants To Escape The Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 100.1
Chapter 100.1
The dream was long.
It felt like my consciousness was stretching out like a long thread. After Diello’s awakening, I seemed to have seen a huge flow of water as I came out of the dream.
Swoosh!
The next thing I felt was a surge of magical power, just like I did in the sea once as if I was moving the water to save Diello. A huge amount of power seemed to be leaking out, but it was different from that time when I could barely breathe.
Unlike that time when all the water around me was my enemy, all the water was friendly to me. And the water was everywhere in the form of steam, moisture, and other forms of water.
As soon as I realized that, the first thing I ‘saw’ was Nira.
Thud!
I saw him holding the crystal containing my power of source.
Even though he was really doing his best, the ice dam he had created was making a precarious sound, as if it was about to break. He had deliberately suppressed the river water to slow down the flow, but that was also his limit.
‘…At this rate, he won’t be able to hold out much longer.’
Nira also had a defeated expression on his face. He needed more water power.
When I thought so…
Crack!
A sharp sound was followed by a rush of cold air.
“Huh?”
Nira looked down at his hand in surprise. His hand was glowing with the blue magic power of Alors. At the same time, the Alors seal appeared vividly on his forehead and then disappeared—
—Just like when the head gave him strength.
“This, could it be…”
Nira reached out and put his hand, filled with magic power, into the river water.
That was enough.
Brrt!
The place where he touched it froze as if it had been stopped by the power of the artifact.
Brrt!
Even the water droplets that had been bouncing up fell as solid pieces of ice. The ice dam, which was about to collapse, once again firmly blocked the river water.
“…Madam?”
Just as Nira looked around in surprise, I felt a strong fire and water colliding somewhere else. The water, which followed the rule of a power different from my water, was still following the orders of the former head. However, the water was weaker than I expected.
When I turned my eyes, I saw the conference room engulfed in fierce flames. Inside, there were Duke Alors and Diello.
Diello was there, engulfed in flames.
‘Ah.’
My breath caught in my throat as the face of the young Diello came to mind. The moment I realized that, I woke up from my dream.
* * *
“Ah.”
I let out a short groan. My head was spinning. What could it have been that I saw something that seemed like a dream and yet not a dream?
Even though I couldn’t believe it, I raised my hand.
“Madam?”
The surprised maid came and held my hand.
“Are you alright?”
“It seems like your fever has gone down a lot…”
As the maids bustled around, Nias peeked his head in between them.
“Are you alright? When you have a high fever, you may sometimes lose your sight or hearing…”
“I’m fine.”
Surprisingly, I was fine.
I got up.
“Madam?”
People seemed surprised to see me moving more normally than I expected. I recalled what I had seen in my dream.
Krua and Diello.
The young Diello I had comforted, the one who was awakening as a head.
And…
“…Sir Nira?”
“He’s probably at the river.”
Nias replied immediately.
It seemed it wasn’t a dream. If so…
I reached out and grabbed the wet towel the maid was holding.
Splash!
In that instant, the water that had soaked into the towel surged up.
“….!”
The surprised maid took a step back.
I realized that moving water was easier than breathing.
That wasn’t all.
When I looked down at my hand, I could see that there was a clear black pattern on it. It was the pattern I had seen on Nira’s forehead when I ‘gave’ him strength in the dream, or rather, not in the dream.
The Alors pattern.
As far as I knew, there weren’t many cases in this world where a family crest was engraved on the body.
“…Why did I collapse?”
I asked for confirmation.
At my words, Nias looked at each other with the maids.
“The head said it was… awakening fever.”
“Awakening fever?”
“Yes.”
Nias carefully continued.
“He said it was the process of becoming a head.”
“Head…”
It was true.
I looked down at my hand. This overflowing magical power and the power of the surrounding water bowed their heads as if they knew it was nothing short of the power of a head.
Why me instead of Pentas Alors?
After Nira had assessed my power like that, my power continued to grow steadily. On the other hand, when I went to the Alors dukedom, the water power of the other people seemed weak. Even the water that Duke Alors had confined me in felt weak as if I could push it out.
Could it be that all of that…
“…Am I the Head of Alors?”
There was no other explanation.
“Yes. Pentas Alors didn’t show the head mark.”
Then, one of the maids, who seemed to be an informant, spoke up.
I turned my gaze to her.
My head, which was too clear for someone who had just collapsed and gotten up, instantly put together several puzzles. Diello and I thought that Duke Alors and Pentas Alors were rushing to attack us because they were going through a head change.
