"What is it?" "To put it simply, I'd like to offer some advice and help to the Master of the Magic Tower, and in turn, I'd like to receive help from you when needed." Kiriel's eyes narrowed at Letie's words. "Elaborate." "As you know, I have quite a few enemies around me. Today, I almost fell victim to a curse." "Ah, Lady Cordelia Serade?" "That's right. As you might have guessed from the fact that healing abilities didn't work properly, she threw a curse at me, and I…-

They walked around the area briefly before slipping through the gaps between the gathered characters to exit the central plaza. Surprisingly, there was hardly any feeling of congestion. Kana glanced at Kiriel, who was lightly moving his hand. "Did you use magic?" "Yes." "I thought it felt surprisingly comfortable. It was thanks to you, Lord Kiriel. Thank you for your consideration." "It's nothing." Kiriel brushed it off as if it were a matter of course. Even while under his protection,…

"No. The only person I'm acquainted with from the Serade family is Lady Letie." Kana firmly denied, shaking her head. Cordelia was on the opposite side, and Dain was never in her consideration from the start. Kiriel inwardly felt relieved but wanted to confirm once more, so he probed her gently. "Really? You're not... interested in him or anything?" "No, I actually find him a bit uncomfortable. Our first meeting wasn't great, and we've clashed over trivial matters every time we've met." Kana…

Not long after, a refreshing energy enveloped her body. Kana's eyes curved gently as her mood naturally improved. "It feels nice. Thank you for bringing me to such a wonderful place." "It's nothing. Come here and sit down." Kiriel, who had already spread a blanket on the ground, gestured towards her. As Kana sat beside him, he took out a moderately thick shawl from his spatial storage and wrapped it around her. Kana was a bit surprised. "When did you prepare the shawl?" "I always had it.…

"T-This is..." "It means exactly what it says." His eyes were resolute, but Kana was considerably shaken. It was brief, but the content was intense. 'Like? Is that something a sub male lead would say to a background supporting character?' Even if you try to interpret it differently, considering the atmosphere, it was nothing short of a confession. Kana tried to gather her thoughts and asked for confirmation. "Surely you don't mean 'like' in a romantic sense, do you?" "...Yes, I…

Kiriel looked at her with worried eyes. Kana, feeling a strange sensation, came up with a suitable excuse. "I'm concerned about some acquaintances who said they were going to watch the monster slaying demonstration. And if need be, I could help as a spirit summoner, couldn't I?" "...Aren't you scared?" Kiriel hesitated uncharacteristically. Considering her usual emphasis on safety and how she trembled when attacked before, he didn't want to unnecessarily involve her. Even though she was…

"...Could it be that you're asking for a hug?" "Yes, that's right." Kiriel nodded, smiling brightly. The refreshing and clear smile on his handsome face seemed far from his supposed prickly setting. Kana struggled to gather her scattered thoughts and managed to speak. "Um, would that be helpful for you, Lord Kiriel?" "Of course. It gives me strength." "...I see." She fell into contemplation as she looked at him, his eyes twinkling with inner expectation. 'Hmm, since he'll be working…

CHAPTER 7. The Sub Male Lead and the Supporting Character Usually, such a question would be asked with a fluttering heart and shyness, but her voice was businesslike and dry. Although he had seen many ladies reveal their feelings to him, this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Kiriel felt a sudden pang in his chest as he looked into her cool and calm green eyes. He was flustered and could only move his lips without speaking before denying it almost…

"Hmm, it's a good suggestion since our schedules align, but..." Kana trailed off, glancing at the carriage. In the awkward standoff between the two, the perceptive coachman cautiously added his input. "Miss, if it's an important opportunity, you should seize it." "Exactly. If I take you back afterward, there won't be any trouble." Kiriel chimed in eagerly. The coachman, intuitively sensing the importance, spoke with conviction. "Miss, I'll inform the others that you'll be late…

As she expected, the letter contained words of apology and a brief explanation of how the matter was handled. Kana sighed in relief at how smoothly things had gone according to the plot of 'Fake Saint,' then noticed a tiny postscript at the bottom. It suggested they meet alone soon for a conversation. 'The purpose is unclear. Is it about the healing water, or does she want to continue the conversation we left off last time?' Kana folded the letter and, after some thought, contacted Letie through…
