Despite Being an Extra, I'm the Villain's Childhood Friend - Chapter 49.2
Chapter 49.2
He looked intently at Izeline as he spoke.
“You must have felt it too.”
It seemed Grosh and Gerald believed she had chosen this book by sensing the faint, mystical power it held.
However, that wasn’t the case.
She had simply chosen it because it had the same cover as the original, but she couldn’t reveal the truth.
Izeline tried to recall where she had gotten the original book before she transmigrated. Come to think of it, she had gotten it from a quiet bookstore in her neighborhood. A bookstore like this secluded path bookstore, where customers were as rare as beans in a drought.
She asked tentatively.
“Do you mean that another unknown world exists?”
“That’s what we believe.”
“Then what is written here?”
“It can be seen as a prophecy book recording what will happen in that world.”
“A prophecy book…”
Then, what about the prophecy that had already been averted?
Izeline barely suppressed the question she wanted to ask directly and tried to ask it in a roundabout way. The stump of the magic tower might know something about this mysterious phenomenon that had caused her to transmigrate.
“I read a terrible prophecy. Is there any way to stop it…”
“No.”
Gerald interjected in a firm voice.
Izeline’s green eyes wavered.
When she looked at Grosch for confirmation, he nodded in agreement, but that wasn’t true. It was already being stopped. Not only had Robert’s unfortunate childhood been prevented, but even Michael’s future of entering the Stephil Academy had changed.
“There are many things hidden in the world. This book is one of them.”
Gerald’s voice, full of conviction, continued.
“It subtly informs humans that another world exists yet prevents them from intervening beyond that. We’ve concluded that this is God’s mischievous prank.”
* * *
He was completely wrong. Not only was she unable to intervene, but someone from another world was right in front of him. Izeline tried her best to suppress her desire to refute. For some reason, her instincts seemed to be holding her back from carelessly revealing the secret.
‘Then, what am I?’
Should she become a character who has experienced a strange phenomenon that even the Magic Tower doesn’t know about? Izeline was so curious that she decided to ask, even if it meant going around in circles. She picked up one of the books in question and pointed to it with her finger.
“What if you could enter the world inside this book?”
“If there is such a person, I would like to invite them to the Magic Tower.”
At Grosh’s words, Izeline almost blurted out that she was the one. Just as she was about to open her mouth, fortunately, Gerald intervened first.
“As a test subject.”
“Uh… a test subject?”
“Yes.”
Izeline gulped nervously at the strangely subdued atmosphere. Gerald’s purple eyes flickered dangerously like a snake. When she glanced away, Grosh’s face was also shadowed as if he was thinking something.
What, what?
Why were they suddenly like this?
Flustered, Izeline averted her gaze as Gerald continued.
“There’s no need to go as far as an experiment. We should just kill them right away.”
“….?!”
…What?
What did she just hear?
Her mind momentarily froze, and she rolled her eyes left and right in a creaking motion like a broken wooden doll. Seeing Gerald exuding a chilling coldness as if he was going to kill anyone who was there right away and Grosh remaining silent as if he would condone it, she was speechless.
‘I-I shouldn’t say anything.’
Feeling her life threatened, she praised her past self for keeping her mouth shut and brushed her chest.
Then, Grosh changed the atmosphere.
“It’s a broken magic anyway. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Perhaps embarrassed that he had been so nervous about something that would never happen, Gerald quickly relaxed his expression. Soon, he shrugged nonchalantly and looked Izeline up and down, then made a strange expression.
“Hey.”
“…Yes?
“Why are you so nervous?”
“Yes, Nio? Hiek!”
“….”
Gerald’s eyebrows furrowed. Even after trying to calm down, Izeline was more than nervous; she was terrified.
Why was this guy, who usually talked back so well, acting like this? Was he doing this because he just set the mood a little? Gerald, who had been passing it off casually, soon remembered something and crookedly raised one side of his mouth.
A murderous aura emanated from him.
“You.”
“Hiek!”
Did he notice with his uncanny intuition? That she came from another world? She couldn’t even be a test subject before she was sent to the underworld, so she unconsciously took a step back. Gerald’s sinister laughter grew even thicker.
He looked like a complete villain! Scary!
However, her face turned absurd at the words that followed.
