One Hundred Years As An Extra Chapter 5

I had to prove that I was the person he needed.

“I know about you. I thought it was over but.… I knew that if anyone ca to save Acrab, it would be you.”

“…….”

The fierce energy beca a little stronger. I could see the golden magic, which was more clearly visible because of the dark night, slowly forming. But that wasn’t enough to scare my strong heart that has been around for a hundred years.

“Kaichen Tenebre, an archmage and old friend of his Highness’, the Crown Prince of the Kalhai Empire,” I continued quite dramatically in my emotional state, “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you?”

The wind blew past. The sound of the pouring rain sounded particularly loud and strong in my ears in his silence.

‘Normally, when soone says this much shouldn’t you answer?’

Kaichen was still staring at without even batting an eyelash.

At this point, I couldn’t help but feel a little awkward. “… shall we go inside for now?”

When asked to enter a mansion that seed to be haunted, Kaichen responded for the first ti.

“Are you Countess Alshine?” His heavy, low-pitched voice penetrated the loud sound of rain and was stuck in my ears.

Destroying Acrab’s magic and finding the lady Dalia Alshine, who is in charge. The flow was the sa as the original novel. So, without having to go all over the city to find him, he just ca to this abandoned looking house where I lived. The place I asked him to enter was the place where Count Alshine lived.

That’s why Kaichen figured out my identity even though I hadn’t introduced myself yet. After arriving in Acrab and destroying magic, the Crown Prince had told him to ask Count Alshain to help in magic research. In the end, Kaichen had no choice but to visit .

“That’s Right!” As I answered with an excited nod, although very slightly, his eyebrows twitched.

I guess he didn’t like sothing. ‘Ah, I’ve been talking to myself for such a long ti…’

I realized that I was using informal language with an archmage. I cleared my throat and used honorifics.

“Ah! Shall we go in?”

Pretending to be fine, I lightly pushed the door, which was about to break, with all my might. Kaichen looked at and the mansion with a cold gaze then moved slowly. Fortunately, instead of going back, he seed to have chosen to follow .

‘Let’s be cool-headed, Kaichen is a magic nerd who is crazy about magic. Soone with extre mysophobia and sociophobia, a typical reclusive wizard!’

Moreover, Kaichen was a strong man who appeared like a prince on a white horse to save protagonist Julius when sothing happened to him, not soone else. I desperately needed Kaichen’s strength to realize my dream of ‘Safety first! Health and longevity!’ To be exact, not his strength but a magnificent shield that would make my existence like an ant passing by.

Look! The man with such a splendid and powerful presence that he might pierce the back of my head even though he is following silently from behind. I have to make him like at all costs. And in order to do that, I have to show him the cards I have.

‘You’re in my palm now!’ As soon as I entered the lobby with this thought, I rembered sothing I have been ignoring for a long ti.

How can one not curse at the stinky alcohol sll and at the sight of alcohol bottles rolling on the floor?

Habits are scary. I knew that even if I cleaned, it would get dirty again anyway, so I just left it alone. So I didn’t think how terrible mansion state would be now, when the magic has been broken and I returned to reality. After a hundred years, I thought again that I was in the body of a really dirty and ridiculous woman.

At the sa ti, the thought ca across my mind.

‘Ah… This jerk has mysophobia.’

I turned my head awkwardly. The first thing that I saw was Kaichen’s twisted face.

Ah, first impressions… goodbye.

After guiding him to a place that was embarrassing to even call a sofa, I realized that there was no tea in this house that could be given to guests.

‘There were a lot of things I had in mind, but all of them were ant to be done when I escaped ti magic.’

I’ve known for a hundred years that Kaichen was going to be the first person to visit this house. I thought that if I escaped, I would tear down and fix the mansion first.

But who would have known? That as soon as the magic was broken, I’d face Kaichen.

“Uhmm.. you ca to see , right?”

I felt uncomfortable asking about sothing that I already knew. It was also embarrassing to stare at his face which did not hide his displeasure with suspicious eyes.

“Did you know that I would co to save you?”

While thinking about how to bring it up, Kaichen asked a question first. He didn’t even sit on the sofa. He was standing with his arms crossed and looking down at , as if he had endured enough just by entering this unclean, filthy space.

“Yes…” I said truthfully, “ Because you’re the only great wizard I know.”

“… Do you know that forbidden magic has manifested in this place?”

“Oh… yes, that’s right.”

The sofa darkened with the rain water dripping from the body. Coldness grazed her body, calling for a hot bath right away, but now was not the ti. I couldn’t deny that I looked like a wet mouse, but it was the sa with Kaichen in front of .

“How much do you know about ti magic?” Kaichen didn’t know how to beat around the bush.

“I don’t know anything,” I replied.

“Are you the dium of ti magic that Acrab was stuck in?”

I laughed awkwardly at the direct question. “Seems like it!”
