Never Die Extra

Chapter 276

Evan D. Sherden Forms a Sub-Party (1)

The festival was over. Although the patrol with the high elf Mirole on the last day of the festival had not been as easy as he hoped it would be, Evan simply didn’t have the time to care about these things.

‘I knew she’d come to Sherden one day.’

He watched Renail, the main heroine, move around and thought, ‘Maybe? Could it be? But really,’ seeing as she had come to Sherden of her own accord, Evan couldn’t help but feel unfortunate.

It wasn’t like she and Arisha didn’t have a reason to come to Sherden at about the same time.

‘The opening of the dungeon.’

Yes, Sherden had reopened just four months ago, and countless explorers who left Sherden because of the Dungeon closures, with the addition of new explorers, had come to experience it again.

Furthermore, it was not so strange that the two had visited Sherden at around that time, as it was during the festival when most people would come in.

At least it was much more plausible than speculation that the two had moved at the same time, at least simply because of the scenario of the game.

“…Oppa treats me differently. He’s more nice to Arisha.”

That was when Evan got caught again. Evan was prickly, but Arisha, who was in the midst of life these days, responded to Serena with a relaxed attitude.

“I’m being treated like a fiancé. If you’re jealous, go find your own fiancé as soon as possible.”

“I’m also engaged to Evan, too, you know? Evan told me to stay with him.”

Perhaps because of what he said to Serena during the festival on a date (Evan himself could not recognize it as a patrol), Serena shook off her shyness and weakness and completely regained her confidence.

As a result, the confrontation between Arisha and Serena, which had been a little quiet these days, had now come back to the surface explicitly.… Well, these things didn’t really matter now!

“Mus… Must Save?”

“Yes, Master. I’m sure of it. That’s what I confirmed.”

Now that they had located the main character, it was inevitable that they needed to monitor and supervise him.

Evan had Maybell’s men look after him after taking the fainted protagonist to a proper inn. As a result, he was able to extract some satisfactory information in just one day.

However, the name of the main character was a problem.

“Must Save… No, not this.”

Save was definitely an important feature when you played the game. Perhaps the word ‘Save’ was actually used much more to save data, rather than to save other people.

Evan recalled the name of the main character, which had been close to Evan’s survival route when he played the Yo-Ma Great War 3 as a game.

‘Yeah, I definitely named the main character ‘Must Save’. Even now, it’s a serious naming issue. If my parents had given me this name, I’m confident that I would’ve grown up to be a naughty kid.

Of course, it wasn’t a matter of the main character’s adolescence back then. It was a game in the first place, so I made it with a light heart.’

“But I didn’t know it would…”

“Did you foretell again, Master?”

“Oh… yeah, perhaps it’s something like that.”

Evan then replied with a weak smile. The thoughts swimming around in his head were all too complicated.

A person appeared with the name of the main character that Evan named and in the image.

To be honest… Now Evan was not even sure if the memories of his past life are true.

What was the life he remembered on the day he was nine? Perhaps it was something else under the guise of the memory of the past…

“May-Maybell?”

“Yeah? What’s wrong, Master?”

He was so confused that he hadn’t noticed it until Maybell was just around the corner. Her harsh breath tickled his face. Perhaps it was because of her mood, but her cheeks looked red.

“You’re breathing quite roughly. Are you sick?”

“No, I’m just a little worked up about your disappointment.”

“Get out.”

“No, wait, I’m sorry, I’ll just be happy to see you!”

The excitement of the girl was indeed immense.

“Hu……yes, let’s not think deeply about the question that doesn’t have any answers.”

“That’s right; that complexity doesn’t help our relationship at all.”

“It’s not about our relationship that I’m worried about.”

“Hmm.”

There was no way that it would be answered simply by groaning. There was always one conclusion, and that was doing what you could do now.

“So… did you find anything unusual about him?”

“No. He’s been staying in the inn since he fainted and woke up. I think he’s a little scared. I also heard him mumbling the name of the Master.”

“He’s scared…and he’s mumbling my name…?”

If he had fainted after meeting Evan, then he was probably scared of Evan. So…… did he recognize Evan’s strength by any means possible?

“Maybe he fell in love with you?”

“That can’t be true… I guess the main character is really meant to be the main character.”

Evan thought for a moment if he might have the ability to identify his own status. However, he also thought that the possibility was not very high.

This was because the protagonists of the other Yo-Ma Great War games that Evan knew did not have that ability. Even Leo and Default didn’t have the status reading ability.

‘But you never know. He had a customized name, not a default name.’

He forced my head to blank as it was about to hurt again. One can check it out later. There are plenty of means.

“But you don’t want to meet him in person, do you?”

“Yes, I’m not going to run into him intentionally. Don’t try to approach him.”

“May I be honest with you? Master, you’re worrying too much, and it’s ridiculous.”

“I know.”

The appearance of the boy, Must Save, was good enough, but it was not comparable to Evan.

Of course, he was the only one who had this charm, but… well, Maybell thought that Evan had been underestimating his magical charm.

“But I still don’t like it. I don’t want to leave a trace of uneasiness behind. Okay? I think it’s just a superstition. I could have at least one kind of flaw.”

“Yes, of course.”

However, when she was told not to come face to face with the boy, Evan said that he was also concerned about her, so Maybell nodded and smiled shyly at his words.

Surely, there was a flaw in the perfect Evan. However, that only made him look cuter.

She wanted to bring in a stamp so that he could feel at least safe, but she managed to hold back her heart.

“I’ll never run into him, Master.”

“Yeah, that’s good. But….”

Apart from that, the main character could not be left as he was. Evan recalled the image of Must Save, whom he had met on the day of the festival.

‘Weak…’

To put it plainly, he was terrible. Of course, he may be stronger than the main character who started Yo-Ma Great War 3, but the situation was not the same as in the early days of Yo-Ma Great War 3.

The timing was two years ago, but the dungeon became stronger since then, and all scenarios would be accelerated.

As he did during Yo-Ma Great War 3, he collected the initial funds by working part-time jobs outside the dungeon, bought the initial weapons, bought the initial skills, hit the dungeon’s lower levels, and developed the skills… But there was no time for that!

‘Moreover, there was no guarantee that the main character would get the right answers.’

As there were many opportunities in the dungeon city, there were also many risks. Countless forces were conspiring in the dark, and inside the dungeon, there were also deadly traps that would unexpectedly strike.

When the current protagonist said he was going straight to the dungeon, could he grow up safely and quickly? Evan was quite skeptical. Even if he had the ability to recognize one’s status, it was all the same.

“Of course, I decided to kill the Demon King myself, but the more shields, the better. You can’t let a man with a certain talent die in vain.”

At first, Evan thought about leaving him as he was, but it was foolish to leave the main character of Yo-Ma Great War 3 simply because of weak anxiety.

In the end, Evan had to do well. He needed to make the main character strong to defend his people from the Demons. However, Must Save should not be directly exposed to the knights. This was possible enough.

“All right.”

Evan raised his head after organizing his short thoughts. Numerous plans had passed through his mind… There was one option left that was most realistic and suitable for the current situation.

“I have no choice but to get involved.”

“Yes? But you said you wouldn’t meet him. I’m sure you’re not saying you’re going to put him in Astray.… Or let him become a soldier? Or do you want to put him in the Ironwall Knights?”

“No, of course not. That’s not a bad idea. There’s no way a guy who’s scared to be a Dungeon explorer would want to join us. It’s about bringing someone you trust into contact with him.”

“A reliable person…”

Maybell tilted her head. However, a small smile was only getting bigger around Evan’s mouth.

“Think about it, Maybell. She hasn’t entered the dungeon yet, she has a certain talent, and she has had basic training….”

“…Ah!”

Maybell realized what he was saying and looked at Evan with a puzzled look. However, Evan ignored Maybell’s gaze and immediately called the person into his room.

“Teacher, did you call me?”

The character was Louise. Surprisingly, Belois was next to her.

“You too, Lua?”

“Yes, sir. I had something to report to you, but I was late because I had to review it internally.”

“Hmm…?”

Evan thought for a moment and nodded his head. He wanted to talk about it first. Belois reported without delay.

“Renail contacted us personally. She wants to join Astray…”

“…Oh.”

“Yes. I personally looked into it to see if something was going on, but it was purely her wanting to join Astray……No, it looked like she was longing for you.”

“You’re a hero of legends. She seemed to think of you as a great wizard. And she wants to learn from you if possible…”

“She must have a lot of confidence.”

Did she think that it would be possible for herself after hearing that there were two new members?

Her talent was nothing to snort at. Evan, of course, wasn’t just screening for talent, but…….

“The timing is good.”

“Huh? You want her to join.…?”

Belois’s expression drastically clouded. However, Evan shook his head firmly.

“No, I mean I can use her for something.”

“Something….”

“Louise, I have something to tell you from now on.”

“Te-Teacher.”

Louise looked instinctively insecure. However, Evan did not hesitate.

“I’m sorry, but I think you can’t go into the dungeon separately with me, Louise. I’ll tell you the details now.”

It was the moment when Evan’s sub-party against the Demon King began.
