Chapter 94
Crash!
A massive brick tumbled down directly above Bunny’s head with a thunderous bang.
And for good reason—Bunny had believed in something all this time.
“Bunny, you’re not the protagonist?!”
Bunny was supposed to be the protagonist of this world!
Because in most of the fairy tales Luriel had read to me, young Demon Clan Members grew into magnificent Demon Kings or became heroes of the Demon Clan.
“….”
Thump.
Bunny collapsed onto the floor, her head hanging heavily.
I had just discovered a terrible truth about this world.
I thought I was supposed to become a great Demon King, but I’m actually just a tiny extra…?
What’s an extra?
Luriel said they were insignificant beings who flitted past unnoticed beside the heroine—like a speck of dust. Things like a passing tree, a passing dog, or passing person A.
‘Bunny… a tiny dust extra…?’
Not the protagonist Demon King I thought I was, but actually just an extra.
As long as they don’t bully or hate me, it should be fine.
Ideally, don’t even come near me. I’m like garbage. Besides, Young Master has changed so much.
First, he obtained the ancient Elf ahead of schedule, informed me about purification stones in advance, discovered the glass marble, turned Allen and Kalbad to the Young Lady’s side, and even summoned an unexpected Phoenix.
Thanks to our Young Master following my guidance so well, the starting point has shifted considerably.
“But, Luri. If Bunny’s Real Father says he’s Father’s Elder Brother, that would work, but he’s a fake.”
Bunny murmured quietly, tilting her head.
However, wouldn’t Father hate it if Father’s Elder Brother’s daughter turned out to actually be a Demon Clan Member? Everyone said Father loved Father’s Elder Brother so much….
‘Besides, I know Father was killed by Father’s Elder Brother, a Demon Clan Member.’
Yet Bunny retained faint but distinct memories from when I was a newborn.
My real Father truly loved me so much.
My real Father’s touch was warm. But there was no way to tell the current Father about that.
‘…My real Father was a hero.’
My heart felt strangely ticklish.
A hero and the Demon King held hands and gave birth to me?
Then even if I become a great Demon King, maybe I can hold hands with everyone and get along.
Father and I are a real family.
“Hehe.”
Bunny giggled softly, bouncing on her feet as she flipped the notebook to the next page.
By the way, you mustn’t reveal that our Young Master is Dios Yudia’s daughter or that she’s destined to awaken as the Demon King. Even if they conduct tests, that child will come out as genuine, and if Young Master undergoes testing, it will be revealed that she’s a Demon Clan Member.
“….”
Young Master, Kiriel Yudia, there are some things even you cannot help. Demon Clan Members and humans cannot be together. That child will receive everyone’s love.
Bunny’s eyes widened as she read the words.
But it’s alright. Young Master, with your incredibly amazing, spectacular, absolutely adorable charm, has changed me Luriel, changed Kiriel Yudia, changed Ludbreed, and changed Allen and Kalbad.
“…Luri.”
Is that all? I, Luriel, am here for the Young Master! If I may say so, I am a prophet who grasps the great events of this world! Whenever the Young Master comes here, I shall do my utmost to answer your questions, so please visit often!
At Luriel’s words, Bunny’s lips trembled with emotion. Her eyes crinkled at the corners as she suddenly burst into bright laughter.
Now, the first thing you must do is!
After reading the characters, Bunny’s eyes sharpened with determination and she sprang to her feet. Scratch, scratch—words began to appear.
“Great King Bunny, completely capable of anything.”
Bunny pressed down her racing heart as she watched the words being written.
Before that female lead—no, that Homunculus arrives, shall we earn some serious money? Let’s transform the Chocolate Factory into a snack factory and launch snacks using that special recipe I taught you.
“The Chocolate Factory…?”
Now that I thought about it, I had received such a factory when I was much younger. My first birthday gift from Father. I still kept that document in the most precious box in the world.
Let’s go, Young Master Boss!
Bunny’s eyes sparkled brilliantly.
“Boss!”
Had Bunny finally become a successful child boss?
Like “The Despised Illegitimate Child is the Richest on the Continent?!”, or “How I Became Rich at Four,” or “Self-Made Tycoon Life Starting from Age Three”!
Perhaps Bunny too could become the protagonist of a fairy tale with a title like “The Genius Young Lady of the Duke’s House Who Became Boss at Eight is Actually the Demon King.”
“I should tell Father about this.”
Having reached her conclusion, Bunny quickly shoved the notebook into Toto’s belly.
Thump!
Not long after Bunny closed the door and left, a dark and ominous light seeped from within Toto’s belly.
Scratch, scratch.
A faint light leaked through the gap between the half-open pages of the notebook.
Do your best, Young Master. Only you will be able to reach the hidden hundredth ending.
Whoosh.
The glowing characters gradually faded, and soon the notebook closed firmly shut once more.
The room fell silent as if nothing had happened at all.
* * *
Pitter-patter-patter.
With her arms spread wide at her sides, Bunny dashed powerfully down the Corridor. By now, she had become so familiar with the layout of the Annex Building that she could find her way with her eyes closed.
“Oh my, Young Lady. That’s dangerous.”
“Okay!”
Bunny giggled mischievously like a naughty child and darted across the Corridor. Allen, who had grown noticeably taller, approached from the opposite direction and stopped short, blocking Bunny’s path.
“Bunny, wait a moment!”
“No, I don’t want to!”
Bunny quickly ducked her head and broke through Allen’s defensive stance with her arms spread wide. She was about to dash down the Stairs when she laughed.
“Well, well. This little one never tires of running about. Hey, you reckless tomboy. Didn’t I tell you not to run in the Corridor?”
“Kalbad.”
At Bunny’s words, Kalbad’s nose twitched, and he rubbed beneath his nose with his finger before speaking.
“Big brother.”
“Yes, big brother. Bunny is going to find Father.”
Kalbad, whose height had grown by a head taller than when he was younger, narrowed his blue eyes and held Bunny by the scruff of her neck, letting out a sigh.
“Can’t you even catch this tomboy, Allen?”
“I’m worried Bunny might get hurt. If I grabbed her with all my strength and broke something so fragile, what would I do?”
“Break, she won’t.”
Kalbad gave Allen a look of disbelief before sighing. Bunny puffed out her cheeks and flailed her arms in all directions.
“Noooo, let me goooo!”
“I’ll let you go if you promise not to run.”
Kalbad spoke with a mischievous grin, chuckling softly, and Bunny immediately nestled into his arms like a child, bursting into laughter.
At the sight of Bunny settling against him so naturally, Kalbad’s face flushed slightly.
“I won’t run! Promise!”
Bunny tilted her head, shouting with her face thrust right up to his.
Crack!
“…Oh.”
At the dull sound of something breaking, I turned to see the wooden handrail of the Annex Building’s stairs—which had been carefully repaired—now shattered into pieces.
“Dear me, I just fixed this not long ago.”
Allen spoke leisurely.
The wooden handrail had been broken by Kiriel Yudia a week or two ago, and Lebon had painstakingly sourced special timber to repair it.
“Th-this is the handrail’s fault for being weak! I only gripped it lightly, so what am I supposed to do about it breaking?”
“It stays fine when I grip it.”
Allen spoke with a slight smirk, deliberately provoking him.
At that, Kalbad’s expression darkened as he lifted his head indignantly, but upon seeing Bunny, he closed his mouth again with a cool expression.
“By the way, is today that day?”
“That day?”
“Yeah, were you asleep and didn’t hear about it?”
At Allen’s question, Bunny blinked her bright eyes and rolled them around before swallowing nervously. Because…
‘Bunny… I sleep all the time, so I’m not sure when I’m actually asleep.’
I had only recently discovered that I had a bad habit of falling asleep whenever boring conversations came up.
