I Got Reincarnated as a Minor Character and I Won’t Give Up on TS – Chapter 76: Prelude to a Premonition

Making money is essential.

Especially at our Fectom Comprehensive Academy, where raising funds is the top priority at the moment.

Personally, I want money too.

I need it to persuade students at the Zilnius Institute to create various things for me with stacks of cash.

Thus, the entire Fectom Academy is currently working together to gather funds.

Everyone has only one thing in mind—the restoration of Fectom Academy.

“Kei, look…! I’m listed as S-rank!”

Sorry, but this person might be a bit different…

Right now, I’m with Mizuhi-senpai on a dungeon rescue mission.

I’ve gotten used to it by now, but thanks to the person next to me becoming an S-rank, the difficulty level of rescue requests we receive has skyrocketed.

At this point, even the lowest-ranked requests are at B-level difficulty.

Honestly, in Narou Kei mode, I’m barely keeping up.

“Ah… Seeing it like this, it feels real…”

“That’s great. I’ve always found you reliable, Mizuhi-senpai, but lately, I feel that way even more.”

“Really? Hmm, I must continue to lead as Fectom Comprehensive Academy’s vanguard.”

But if you’re the vanguard, everything ends right there.

We’ve been continuing dungeon rescues for about three days now.

We hadn’t failed before, but over the past three days, the level of success has reached a whole new level.

“Oh, there’s a request.”

“What’s the difficulty level…? A, huh?”

I’m already used to it.

I feel nostalgic about the time when we were all over the place dealing with a copy of Sakuraba Rakka.

It feels a little lonely when there’s no role for the mysterious beautiful girl to play.

There’s chatter online about wanting more interactions between Mizuhi-senpai and Sorciera. Someday, they’ll have to get closer in a more… interesting way.

『Hey, are you trying to consume yourself as a Sorciera character?』

…? ???

『Why are you confused? That’s weird, right?』

Sorciera belongs to everyone.

It wouldn’t be fair if I were the only one enjoying her.

“Well then, shall we go?”

“Yes.”

We ran through the dungeon district, heading straight to the rescue request location.

There were no signs of monsters leaking out of the gate yet. Let’s finish this quickly.

Alright, Mizuhi-senpai, I’m counting on you!

“Follow me.”

“Yes.”

I readied my dagger and stepped through the gate.

We’d already gathered some information about this one beforehand.

It was a mythical creature—a monster from within a mirror.

It seemed to emerge from the mirror to attack, and two rescue attempts had already failed.

But seriously, do they even know who this insanely strong girl is?

That’s the S-rank Mizuhi-senpai right there!

Mizuhi-neesan, I’m counting on you!

“This is the spot.”

After advancing for a while, we arrived at the signal location and stopped.

Several students were collapsed in front of the room.

Their uniforms varied, indicating that rescue team members from other schools were mixed in.

In other words, everyone had managed to reach this point without issue.

And from here, the dungeon’s real challenge began.

The marble, hemispherical room was entirely lined with mirrors. Just looking at it could make you lose your mind.

We had to go inside to rescue the students, but it was clearly a trap.

“I’ll go in. Kei, be ready to move at any time.”

At Mizuhi-senpai’s instruction, I readied my dagger.

Soon after, Mizuhi-senpai stepped into the mirrored room.

At that moment, I saw it.

A fish-shaped monster leaped out of the mirror.

Barely recognizable as a fish by its silhouette, it had countless long tentacles slithering along its body. It seemed designed to entangle its target with those tentacles.

But that’s only if the target were an ordinary explorer.

“Ah, this one?”

Without even looking up, Mizuhi-senpai fired a bullet.

The bullet transformed into a long thread, binding the fish before incinerating it completely.

Alright, it’s over.

Am I even needed here?

My poor dagger is crying. This is way beyond paralysis-level difficulty.

“Well done, Mizuhi-senpai. That was impressive.”

“Ever since I acquired that power, my senses have sharpened. It’s a good thing.”

All S-rank individuals have ridiculously high base stats, even without using their abilities.

Mizuhi-senpai’s circumstances for becoming S-rank were unique, but she, too, possessed an absurd level of ability.

Personally, I feel her S-rank status is best demonstrated in moments like these.

“These are deep wounds. The dungeon master must’ve toyed with them in the mirror before killing them. It seems the focus was on enjoying the process rather than the kill itself. I need to burn those wounds away quickly.”

As she said that, Mizuhi-senpai conjured flames from her hand and passed them over the students’ injuries.

The flames consumed the wounds as if they were fuel, crackling and burning. After a certain point, the flames vanished entirely, leaving no trace of the injuries.

That’s the scariest thing about her.

Mizuhi-senpai can handle every role all by herself.

Lately, I’ve become little more than her conversation partner…

“Now, we can negotiate.”

Mizuhi-senpai nodded in satisfaction.

Hmm, her smug expression is adorable, so all good!

“If a fan club is made, I’ll join. And of course, I’ll pay the monthly fees.”

“…U-Uh, where is this?”
“You’ve awakened. I’m Terukami Mizuhi from Fectom Comprehensive Academy, here in response to a rescue request.”

Mizuhi-senpai offered her hand to the girl who had just woken up.
Helping her up, she smiled with relief.

“Your mind seems unaffected. My flames can only incinerate what they see, so I can’t heal mental attacks. If something’s wrong, tell me immediately.”
“I-I’m fine. But… wait, Terukami Mizuhi?”
“That’s right.”
“The S-rank…?”

Hearing the girl’s words, Mizuhi-senpai nodded smugly.

“Indeed. I am the S-rank Terukami Mizuhi.”
“Ah!”

The girl let out a short squeal.
I recognized this phenomenon.

It was a fan losing control.

“Um, I-I’m a huge fan of Mizuhi-sama! From the moment you were announced as an S-rank, I thought you looked amazing! Can I call myself a long-time fan now?”
“………………Ah, sure.”
“Thank you so much!”

Mizuhi-senpai, you didn’t understand what she was saying at the end, did you?
You were clearly frozen in thought while replying.
Miroku-senpai did mention that Mizuhi-senpai isn’t good at handling things like this.

Actually, part of my role is to step in during moments like this to prevent unnecessary trouble between Mizuhi-senpai and her fans.
Miroku-senpai asked me to do it discreetly.

Incidentally, this was already the fourth time today.

“Alright, alright. Remember, we’re here for a rescue mission today. Please don’t trouble Mizuhi-senpai too much.”

Maybe I should just switch careers and become a manager.

“Thanks, Kei. You really saved me there.”
“Don’t mention it. But wow, being an S-rank is something else. If your fame keeps rising, we might even get more students enrolling.”
“Yes, that would be great.”

Mizuhi-senpai smiled, seemingly pleased at the idea of more students joining.

Yeah, a beautiful girl’s smile is always a wonderful sight.

After receiving the rescue reward, we strolled through the Dungeon District.

At this point, waiting takes longer than the actual missions.
Since Mizuhi-senpai burns through enemies, most tasks are over quickly.

We should be able to return to Fectom Comprehensive Academy after finishing a few more rescue requests.
There’s a discussion with a sister school from Mikage Academy today, but it should be done by the evening.

“Kei, looks like we can eat meat again today. Plus, our debts are settled, and all the magic stones and cores we acquired will be used as academy assets.”
“Sounds like we can expand the district. We can also renovate the academy facilities.”
“Yes. No more enduring life with just cold showers.”

We really endured a lot, didn’t we?
Now it’s all smooth sailing. Time for a lucky streak!

“…Huh? Is that an emergency signal?”

Suddenly, Mizuhi-senpai’s Dive Gear emitted a loud, urgent sound.

It was a special rescue request notification used when immediate help was needed from those nearby.
These kinds of requests usually came with lucrative rewards, so it was always worth answering them.

“The dungeon rank is D. It’s low, but an emergency is an emergency. Let’s go, Kei.”
“Got it. Which school is requesting help?”
“Let me check… hmm.”

After verifying the details on her Dive Gear, Mizuhi-senpai looked at me and said:

“Zilnius Academy.”

…This feels like the start of something.
