Chapter 323: (Flower Shop) Reminiscing on the Day Before the 'Dawn' (Flower Shop) Reminiscing on the Day Before the ‘Dawn’

* * *

Hello everyone.

The story you are reading, “The Reincarnated Extra”, will conclude Part 1 with the upcoming 17th arc.

Well, it’s just reaching a milestone, but this author is still pleased to have been able to continue writing up to this point.

This is solely thanks to all of you who have read and supported the story, and I cannot express enough gratitude.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely.

Now, in this chapter, quite a few characters will appear.

So, up to a point, to make it easy to understand who the story is about when looking back at the table of contents later, I will display it in parentheses in the title.

So, the first one is about Ms. “Flower Shop”.

...Who the hell is that!?

Well then, please enjoy.

In the suburbs of the royal capital of Ashgo, there is a small hill called Mihabyushira Hill.

It is a hill with a good view where you can see all the townscape of the royal capital including the royal castle.

This Mihabyushira Hill was once loved as a place of relaxation for the people of the royal capital because of its wonderful view.

...However, that’s a story of the past.

Now, the grass has completely overgrown, and only a few animal trails remain.

The king took various things away from the people.

Sometimes it was a precious family heirloom passed down through generations.

Or a beautiful daughter.

He took away everything the king desired on a whim.

Why?

“Because I am the ruler,” the king always said.

Life is hard, and everyone trembles in fear of tyranny.

Neighbors are executed for no particular reason.

Everyone is frightened by such daily life.

There’s no way people have the luxury to enjoy the view.

Therefore.

“Hey, did you wait long?”

“............”

If there was a man and a woman meeting on this hill.

It’s absolutely unthinkable that these two came to this place for a date.

On top of the hill, in a particularly scenic grassland.

In the center of this grassland, there is a black stone pillar about the height of a person, of unknown origin, whether it is a natural object or an artificial one......

The two used this stone pillar as a landmark...... and met at least once a week.

It’s not far from the royal capital, and there are no prying eyes.

The tall grass hides their figures.

It’s a wide area, making it easy to escape in case of emergency.

“............”

Upon receiving the apology from the flower shop girl, the Grim Reaper sat down again.

“The piglets?”

And rarely, he brought up a topic himself.

It seems he really didn’t like the flower shop girl’s ‘joke’.

There doesn’t seem to be time for more banter.

“They ran away. One went south, one went east.”

Looking up at the cloudy sky, the flower shop girl sighed and told him.

“The east is fine, but the south, you know? I heard there’s a big storm right now...... I wonder if that impatient little piglet can wait?”

“The big pig?”

“Not moving. Maybe it’s too fat to move? Or is it the pride of being the ‘ruler’?”

“The monster?”

“Won’t come anymore. It takes a huge amount of money to move that commander. There’s no obligation either. That one will definitely not come.”

After saying that, the flower shop girl seemed to remember something, and her face turned pale as she trembled.

“You fought that one, right? As expected of the ‘Grim Reaper’.”

“............ I just ran away. From an opponent who had no motivation.”

“Still, you managed to escape. That’s impressive.”

“............ ............”

Here, both of them become silent.

An autumn wind blows, and the grass sways.

“When is the ‘dawn’?”

“The one who decides that...... is not the flower shop. It’s God.”

It’s an extremely impudent code word.

The Grim Reaper, while distorting his already unfriendly face into an even more displeased expression...... certainly understood its meaning.

He stood up and then...... glared at the royal castle below.

【Rule】

What an existence influenced by a certain divine jewel aims for.

【Toppipappugen】

An earnest man who is currently back in his hometown serving as the village chief.

【The piglet that ran away to the south】

It’s a disrespectful code word.

This person was the one who triggered Garozg’s rampage.

......So, in other words, his end has already been told.

【Monster】

A nickname for our protagonist Emi-chan.

But in this case, it refers to her mother.

【Grim Reaper】

I don’t think I need to explain who this man is, right?
