The Extra's Return

World System.

That's what I call.

The World System has no physical form, it's just a notification window, floating in front of my face, and only I can see it.

I don't know how or why this system exists.

In the novel Demon Lord and the Hero of Light, there is no such thing as a system.

For ordinary people, to make it easier to understand, sometimes, I think that the World System is just like that someone was watching my life from somewhere.

Why do I always ignore system messages?  Because those messages had never previously affected my life in this other world, at least, not until I received them.

[You are detected worshiping God Apollo! Warning! Your actions will be judged inappropriate and you should not do them.]

[Standard operating system - Prevention. Now activated.]

That was the first time, the World System had a real impact on my life.

Warning? Preventive measure? Really, I wanted to retort that it was bullshit. I don't like it when a mere system starts dictating what I should do.

But I can't prevent system action.

And after that, finally, I suddenly lost consciousness.

***

The cave was dark, cold, and spooky. There was no sound, could not see, not even air in it.

In the cave, a woman is hanging on a cross. I couldn't see her figure clearly. It's just like looking at a black-and-white image.

I don't know why I can see such a sight.

Didn't I just lose consciousness?

Instantly, the girl glanced at me. Our gazes are connected. I wasn't sure because I couldn't see her face clearly, but I was sure that she was smiling at me

After that, everything that I saw earlier disappeared like the earth swallowed.

***

My consciousness started to return. What did I see? It seems I saw something when I lost consciousness, but I can't remember it clearly.

I just remember that I lost consciousness earlier while worshiping the supposed statue of the god Apollo.

My head is still dizzy now, and I still close my eyelids.

I could feel something soft right behind my head. Is that a pillow? Wrong. I'm sure it wasn't a pillow.

The soft and comfortable feeling that spreads from the back of my head immediately fills my brain. I feel like burying my head in this pleasure.

I can't stop rubbing my head against this thing.

Pinch!

"Ow!"

I immediately opened my eyes when the pain came to my cheek.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I was faced with two towering mountain peaks, ready to crush me. Behind the two mountains, there is a sharp gaze from the two beautiful eyes.

"Are you awake? If you are awake, I hope you wake up soon."

Ah!

I immediately lifted my body. Get up and sit. I turned and looked at the person who spoke to me earlier.

It's Clarista.

Turns out she was the one who gave me the thigh pillow.

At first glance, it seemed like she was paying attention to me, but I realized that was impossible. There must be a good reason why she dared to give a thigh pillow to someone she didn't know like me.

Thereafter, I asked while holding my head, which still felt a little dizzy.

"How long have I been unconscious for?"

"You've been unconscious for half a day."

She answered as is.

That's when I started looking around. I realize that I am still in the church now, but the situation in this church has completely changed.

Pieces of the chairs where the congregation had been sitting, which had been neatly arranged, were now scattered all over the floor. Devastation was the right word for this situation.

I can't help but be surprised. So I immediately asked Clarista about it all.

"What happened?"

"Hey, shouldn't you thank me first for giving you a thigh pillow?"

"Should I? Then, thank you very much, Priestess."

"Fufu, you should really feel grateful because I can't bear to let you lie on the floor, unlike that old priest."

She pointed at the poor old priest. Lying unconscious.

"What is the cause of all this?"

"Haaah~ all of this was caused by your little sister. She panicked when she saw you suddenly fainted."

Clarista answered while standing up. She then patted her thigh, to clean it, as if she had just hit something dirty.

Then, she continued the story of what had happened earlier.

She said that after I fainted, although Willa panicked, it didn't destroy the entire church.

What caused it all to start was when several soldiers from the Warwick household had suddenly come here. They asked Willa to return to the Warwick residence as soon as possible.

That's where the conflict started.

Willa refused to come back straight away. She said she would try to wait for me to wake up.

Then, because Willa was worried, she ordered the soldiers to take me back to the residence, but they refused instead. They said that only Willa was told to return to the Warwick residence but I was not.

Because of the fierce anger, Willa just now went into a rage and destroyed everything.

Although it should have been easy to stop Willa from running amok, but because they, the soldiers, didn't dare to hurt Willa, Willa could run amok at will.

"In the end, I had to convince her that I would take good care of you. Only then did she want to go with the soldiers to return to your residence."

Clarista ended her story with a very heavy breath.

Well, it must be heavy.

"By the way, maybe this is a bit too sudden, but... May I ask, what is the name of the person you love now?"

"Ahaha~ why are you asking about that? Did you start to fall in love with me after receiving the thigh pillow?"

Ugh! I wanted to smack her in the head. I didn't expect that the nature of a future Saintess would be so annoying. So, I immediately asked about the crux of the matter.

"Is he named Jullian?"

"Eh, how did you know?"

"Well, it doesn't matter. Where is he now?"

"What do you want to do to him? There's no way you can win against him, ok. Not that I want to insult you, but you don't even have a Mana Core."

"Well, just answer it."

"Ok, ok. Maybe he is now in your family's mansion? I arrived in this city this morning, while he came a little late."

"Do you know why he came to my family's residence?"

"Let me think about it... I don't know. I only know about him wanting to come to your residence. That's why I gathered some information and came to this town first."

"So you're not from this town?"

I asked as if I don't know.

"Yes, I am from the Royal Capital, Heinsburg City."

I pretended to be surprised by widening my eyes.

"Then, how come you can be the priestess guiding our maturity ceremony?"

"I wanted to see you guys, so I could come with you to where you live, then meet Jullian there. But instead, you fainted and your little sister went on a rampage, destroying this church. Damn, shouldn't you apologize to me?"

Look how obsessed she is with Jullian. Isn't that already like a stalker?

I could tell that she was upset, a sign that she kept frowning is proof, but the strange thing was… There were no wrinkles on her smooth face. I can't help but be amazed.

Let's ignore the adorable annoyed expression on Clarista's face for now. The problem now is that Jullian has probably arrived at my family's residence.

I have to go back to where my family lives. First, I stand. Ah, but before that, I said to Clarista.

"Hey, can you show me your stuff? I'd like to buy one if it interests me."

"What?"

She immediately withdrew her magic staff that was originally hanging from her waist. She raised the magic staff at me, as if ready to release magic.

'There seems to be a misunderstanding here.'
