I Can’t Stay a Mob Character?

    ?

    The worst possible scenario comes to my mind.?

    ?

    Suppose Ryuzaki were to confess his feelings to Shimotsuki in this situation.?

    ?

    Will she be able to give him an answer??

    ?

    “…………”?

    ?

    No, she can’t.?

    ?

    If she was capable of speaking in a public place like this, she wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place. I’m sure she would have firmly refused to go on stage.?

    ?

    But she couldn’t say anything, so she went up on stage as she was led by the people around her.?

    ?

    Everyone seemed to be excited about Ryuzaki’s confession.?

    ?

    The whole place was already dominated by Ryoma Ryuzaki.?

    ?

    “Go for it! “Show us who you are!” “Show us your strength! “You can do it, Ryuzaki-kun!”?

    ?

    They were cheering him on as he plucked up the courage to confess his feelings.?

    ?

    That’s why everyone is oblivious.?

    ?

    They don’t understand how frightened Shimotsuki is right now……, how nervous she is, how she’s shaking herself, how she’s about to cry.?

    ?

    Because she is the girl who was confessed to by Ryoma Ryuzaki.?

    ?

    There is no way that the heroine, who was given such good fortune, would not like it.?

    ?

    (This is the worst……)?

    ?

    I clench my fists. My fingernails dig into my skin and it hurts, but it helps me keep my cool.?

    ?

    Think. What can I do …… to save Shimotsuki??

    ?

    How can I help that nice girl who thinks I’m special……??

    ?

    (If Ryuzaki confesses his love to her……)?

    ?

    I’m sure Shimotsuki can’t refuse.?

    ?

    No, she should not be able to say anything. The only thing she can do is to keep quiet, kill her emotions, and endure the situation.?

    ?

    If she does, it will eventually be interpreted in a way that is convenient for Ryuzaki.?

    ?

    “Can’t you give me an answer that quickly? If that’s the case, I’ll confess again sometime. But you have to know that I love you. Maybe you don’t like me yet, but I’ll try my best to make you like …… me someday.”?

    ?

    What a way to suggest that the relationship would progress in the sequel.?

    ?

    This is impossible.?

    ?

    I can’t accept this.?

    ?

    Because Shimotsuki is not very good with Ryuzaki.?

    ?

    No matter how hard she tries in the future, she will never be able to like Ryuzaki.?

    ?

    That’s how much she doesn’t even care about that guy.?

    ?

    Well, …… it’s the reason why the story chose this stage.?

    ?

    In order to prevent the protagonist from being rejected, the story is trying to extend itself with the most convenient situation.?

    ?

    If this continues, Shimotsuki will remain the main heroine forever.?

    ?

    I’m still not going to allow Ryuzaki to approach her, make her feel bad, and spend her days in pain. …… I can’t allow that to happen.?

    ?

    –I want to help.?

    ?

    –If I could, I would protect her.?

    ?

    I think strongly in my heart.?

    ?

    Shimotsuki is a benefactor to me.?

    ?

    I had no confidence in myself, I was constantly denying myself, and to top it off, I was so self-loathing that I described myself as a “mob character”.?

    ?

    Thanks to her, I’ve been really enjoying every day recently.?

    ?

    It was a relief to know that there was someone who would accept me like this …….?

    ?

    “Don’t say sad things about mob characters.”?

    ?

    That’s what she once said to me to cheer me up.?

    ?

    I don’t think I can express in words how much those words encouraged me. ……?

    ?

    I’m sure that for Shimotsuki, Kotaro Nakayama is not just a mob character.?

    ?

    As proof of this, …… she is still looking at me with eyes that seem to cling to me.?

    ?

    And then her lips moved as if to appeal for something.?

    ?

    “Nakayama-kun, …… please help me.”?

    ?

    I thought I heard a voice.?

    ?

    No, it was an auditory hallucination. Shimotsuki is in a situation where she cannot say a word……, but just by the movement of her lips, I knew what she was saying.?

    ?

    I’ve been with her for a while now.?

    ?

    I can at least tell what she’s thinking by looking at her face.?

    ?

    “Help me.”?

    ?

    The moment I sensed her intentions, I felt something flare up inside me.?

    ?

    “Yeah, I got it.”?

    ?

    I nodded, and moved my heavy body forcibly.?

    ?

    I’m done with being a mob character …….?

    ?

    I’ll do anything for Shimotsuki.?

    ?

    I can even stand up to the protagonist.?

    ?

    In order to do that, I can’t stay as a mob character.?

    ?

    “You can’t be serious! You think you can get away with this kind of confession ……!?”?

    ?

    I raise my voice loudly and ruin the atmosphere of the place.?

    ?

    Of course, the source of the voice was …… me.?

    ?

    I’m sorry to say that I’m in the middle of a good story, but ……, my protagonist, let me interrupt your story.?

    ?

    Ryuzaki Ryoma. I’m not going to allow you to have a happy ending.?

    ?

    Do you know that there is a bad ending to a story??

    ?

    Ryuzaki, I won’t let your wish come true.?

    ?

    For that purpose, I’ll block your romantic comedy not as a “mob character” but as a …… “villain”…
