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

“I was going to confess my feelings to Nina that day.”

“Eh?”

“Can I try again?”

I had never thought that he would confess to me, neither in the past nor in the present. Of course, there was no way I could refuse, so when I gave a small nod, Alvin-sama said, “Thank you,” and took my hand.

Every gesture he made was like that of a prince, and I couldn’t help but admire him. In his case, he really was a prince.

“Nina, I like you. I like everything about you, your straightforwardness, your kindness, your cuteness, your strength, your weakness, I like all of them.”

“….”

“I will only love Nina for the rest of my life.”

My heart jumped as his soft lips touch the back of my right hand, which was scooped up. This was no different than a marriage proposal.

“I’ll make sure everyone stays safe and everything comes to an end. I’ll get rid of all the dangers and worries surrounding Nina.”

“Alvin-sama…”

“I love you.”

Were there any women whose heart, after being told this much by a man and treated so specially, was unmoved?

It wasn’t even sad, but I felt like crying a little.

I turned my head and fell silent, and eventually, Alvin-sama called my name anxiously.

“Nina? Did I say something offensive?”

“No, it’s not that. I’m feeling happy and thrilled.”

“Eh.”

When I looked up, my eyes were locked with Alvin-sama, whose face said he had never even imagined that kind of reaction.

“Nina, your face is bright red.”

“It’s Alvin-sama’s fault.”

“I’m really happy that Nina reacted like that to my words. It’s really cute, I love you.”

Everything about Alvin-sama was too sweet to the point that I wanted to run away.

Gently, he cupped my face in his hands and made me look up at him. I couldn’t look away from his eyes, which were so intense.

“If you make such a cute face, I won’t be able to endure it.”

“Eh─”

Alvin-sama’s face slowly approached. Even I, who was said to be thick-headed, knew what was about to happen.

“If you don’t like it, push me away.”

“….”

He whispered, but I couldn’t move my body. It was then, when our noses were close enough to touch each other.

“Nina! I’m sorry, I think I did something bad!”

“Theo, when you enter a woman’s room, knock─”

“Hey, Nina, Dirk and the three of us─”

Suddenly, without knocking, the door banged open and four people rushed into the room.

I was so surprised that all I could do was stand there in a daze.

“Eh, aren’t you guys kind of close? What are you doing?”

“…. Theo, you must want to have a short life.”

“Eh? What?”

“….”

“Oh my, Dirk’s heart is definitely broken.”

Theo looked puzzled, Owen looked awkward as if he had guessed what was going on, Dirk’s face was downcast, and Lara was smiling and patting Dirk on the back.

And then there was Alvin-sama, who was clearly in a foul mood. In an instant, the sweet atmosphere was gone, and the air had become chaotic.

“I’d like to have a long talk with Theo later.”

“What? Am I going to die?”

“I’ll make you suffer more than death.”

Theo hurriedly tried to distance himself from the smiling Alvin-sama. In the end, the situation got out of hand, and at Owen’s suggestion, they decided to change the location and have a cup of tea together, including with Erica, who was using a magic tool for communication.

Accompanied by Owen, the three of them left my room. When I was once again alone with Alvin-sama in the room, he smiled troubledly.

“In the end, they interrupted us.”

“Y-Yes.”

“I’m sorry about that…. But did you want to do it, too, Nina?”

When I hurriedly denied it, Alvin-sama chuckled.

“I’m sorry. I’m sure Nina wouldn’t have wanted that.”

“…”

I nodded involuntarily, but it must have been my imagination that I felt a little empty.

I took Alvin-sama’s offered hand and headed toward everyone else.
