I Was the Heroine, and in the Sequel, Even Though I’m a Mob, All of My Stats Are Maxed Out

The Heroine and I 2

Eventually, my body fell from the air to the ground at the same time as I was completely swallowed by the magic circle.

I patted my chest in relief as I hurriedly used wind magic and landed softly on my feet.

“…. As expected, this is the underground hideout.”

Looking around, I saw the underground space I had seen in the “Adolescence of Swords and Magic 2” game.

The long, dimly-lit, single-lane road had lights and doors in various places.

─The heroine’s kidnapping event, as I recalled, was triggered by an organization called the Evil God Cult.

The heroine was kidnapped by a teleportation circle and almost sacrificed in a ritual to summon the demons they worshiped.

However, she was rescued just in time, mainly by the capture target with the highest favorability at that stage.

The heroine was moved by the capture target’s success in coming to her rescue, and because the heroine had been kidnapped, the capture target realized how important she was and how much she meant to him.

It should be a romantic event like that.

Originally, it should have happened to Erica, but I didn’t know why I was sent here.

“What should I do…?”

According to the game, the heroine would be sent to a sealed room.

If I was just an anomaly here, there was a good chance that Erica was also in this place. Then, should I not do anything unnecessary and leave it to everyone else?

However, the person Erica seemed to get along with the best was Theo, and I heard that he would be leaving the royal castle on business for two days. Even Owen and Dirk were gone at the moment.

It would be uncomfortable to run away by myself at this point, and it wouldn’t be too late to check on Erica’s safety.

With this thought in mind, I walked barefoot on the cobblestone-covered ground, dressed only in a white nightdress.

The cold gave me goosebumps, and I combined wind and fire magic to create a warm atmosphere around my body.

“Alvin-sama, I hope you’ve noticed by now.”

The clever Cheryl must surely have told someone that I was gone. Among them, I had a feeling that she went to Alvin-sama, with whom she usually spent a lot of time together.

Alvin-sama must be very worried if he learned that I was gone. I must be safe and sound.

“Eh…? Why is a young woman here…?”

I was walking toward the sealed room where I thought Erica might be, relying on my memory, when I unexpectedly encountered a group of suspicious-looking men wearing black robes.

While the followers were puzzled by the mysterious woman dressed as if she was about to go to bed, I stuck out my hand.

“Purification Purge.”

“Ggghh…. Ah, what the…!?”

Although they were humans, they absorbed demon powers, so holy magic worked on them.

Since they won’t die, if I attacked them before they could counterattack, they would eventually lose consciousness and fall down.

If I beat them too much, it might interfere with the event. I decided to move as stealthily as possible from now on.

“Nngh? Who brought that girl in?”

“Holy Arrow.”

“Ugh….. Gah…!”

I proceeded while defeating all the followers I met one after another, and finally arrived at the sealed room at the far end.

I quietly peeked inside through the gap in the slightly opened door.

“Um, really, please don’t kill me! Shall I clean up this place? Look, there’s a lot of dust around here!”

“She’s really annoying. Is she really a saintess?”

“Brother, you seem to like sweets! And cakes, too─”

“I don’t want it. I want you to shut up.”

Then I saw Erica, her hands and feet bound with rope, begging for her life with all her might. Right, I recalled that this event had some sort of death bad ending.

At any rate, I was relieved that Erica was safe and sound.

“Hmph, in about 10 minutes, the time will be up. You will have to fulfill your role as a sacrifice.”

“…. Eh?”

A sound leaked out of my mouth unintentionally, and I hurriedly covered it with my hand.

Because, unlike the original game event, it was unfolding too quickly. As expected, help won’t possibly come in time in 10 minutes. There was also a limit to unreasonable games.

Perhaps the game scenario was starting to go haywire. The fact that I was here was more proof than anything.

Anyway, Erica would be in danger if I didn’t do something. With that in mind, I pushed the heavy, cold door with both hands.

“… Huh? Who the hell are you, where did you come from?”

I stepped into the sealed room with a face that said I was lost, and about 10 members of the Evil God Cult and Erica looked terribly surprised.

“Um, I’m lost….”

“Didn’t you see the guards before you got here? Tch, who is the scoundrel who brought a woman in on such an important day?”

I guessed no one would consider me a threat in my current appearance. Even when I wandered up to them, they didn’t seem to be alarmed.

When I reached the center of the room, I stood as if to hide Erica behind my back and held out my hands, deploying a wide range of offensive magic.

“What….!? Guh, ah….!”

In the blink of an eye, all of them collapsed and I exhaled. I was able to subdue them more easily than I had expected.

“Is that all of them….?”

“N-Nina-san…! Thank you!”

As soon as I cut the rope with wind magic and freed her, Erica hugged me as hard as she could and muttered words of thanks many times.

It must have been scary. Her body was slightly trembling, so I gently hugged her back to calm her down.

Ten minutes had passed since then, but it seemed that help didn’t arrive in time. I shudder to think what would have happened if I hadn’t been there.

Again, it deviated from the original flow of the game. I had a bad feeling about this and called out to Erica, who seemed to have calmed down.

“Erica, can you see the status screen?”

“Yes! I think I can.”

“Can you take a quick look to see if anything had changed?”

“I understand! ──Status.”

Erica immediately displayed the status screen.

As expected, I couldn’t see other people’s screen, so I was watching over Erica, but she eventually let out a puzzled “What?”.

“What’s wrong?”

“The part that used to say [Saintess] before is now messed up and unreadable….”

As soon as Erica’s words reached my ears, I felt my heart beating fast.
