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

I was taken aback by her unusual expression.

“Erica?”

“That, um…”

For a while, she kept her mouth shut as if it was hard to say, but eventually, Erica lifted her head.

“… Why do you always use transformation magic, Nina-san?”

“What?”

“I’ve always wondered about it…..
Your face is so beautiful, with your original brown eyes and hair.
But I wondered if you were intentionally hiding it, so I wanted to ask when Theo wasn’t around.”

And then I realized.
With her special eyes that could even see other people’s magic, there was no way she couldn’t see my real appearance.

Why didn’t I think of this before?

“I was actually going to keep quiet about it.
But I don’t believe it was a coincidence that the statue of the former saintess looked a lot like Nina-san’s true appearance, and you both have the same name….
Also, the fact that you can use holy magic….”

With all those conditions in place, it was only natural that she would notice.
In fact, it might have been predicted that this would eventually happen as soon as I met Erica.

─Originally, I could have left this place when the danger of being exposed arose.
Still, I was happy to have escaped the hard life in my original world and be reunited with my precious friends. 

I should not have been so greedy for just a little more.

In the midst of all this, I suddenly heard the door open.

“….
What do you mean, Nina?”

When I turned around and saw Theo’s figure, I gasped.
I was so shaken by Erica’s revelation that I hadn’t heard the noise.
He should have headed to the next town, but why was he here?

Theo stepped inside and grabbed my shoulders.
His angry expression changed to one that looked as if he was about to start crying.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a pale-faced Erica saying, “I-I’m so sorry, I will punish myself by cutting my stomach with this fork!” I was then convinced that she was also someone from Japan, though she didn’t have to commit seppuku[1].

(T/N: Seppuku is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment.)

“Are you that Nina….?”

The emerald-like eyes stared straight at me, and just when I thought I couldn’t hide it any longer, a carefree voice that seemed out of place for this atmosphere echoed, “Huh?” in the room.

I slowly turned my gaze in the direction of the voice.

“What’s going on here? Actually, I think I have a pretty good idea.”

It was Owen who peeked through the door that Theo had left open.
What was this situation?
