Shimotsuki-san Likes the Mob (WN)
Chapter 85
Do you think it will go as you wish??
?
After listening to Mary’s fantasy for a while.?
?
I couldn’t help but laugh.?
?
“Hahaha…… Oh, sorry. I’m not making fun of you. It’s just that it was a little funny.”?
?
I hurriedly tried to make things right, but Mary’s face instantly turned sour.?
?
She seemed to be annoyed that I was making fun of her plot.?
?
“What? If you have something to complain about, why don’t you just say so? I’m a forgiving person, so I’ll listen to you.”?
?
“No, no, I have nothing to complain about. You can do whatever you want ……, but I’ll give you some advice.”?
?
I’m a ‘mob character’ at heart, so no matter how hard I try, I can’t stop the actions of the primary characters, the Mary’s. I can’t stop them from doing what they do.?
?
The only story I can touch is the story of that girl who made me her main character.?
?
But that girl doesn’t appear in this story. So I will probably be moved as Mary wants me to be.?
?
Exactly like dancing in the palm of her hand.?
?
But there is something that Mary is mistaken about.?
?
That is that …… Ryoma Ryuzaki is more of a “protagonist” than she thinks.?
?
And one more thing. This time, apparently, Kirari is going to play the role that Azusa did, but I wondered if it would really work the way she wanted it to.?
?
That girl has a strong core. Even if she was rejected by Ryuzaki, I don’t think she would lose heart. And it’s impossible for her to like me…….?
?
“I don’t think you should underestimate the characters. I think Ryuzaki and Kirari are tougher than you think, Mary.”?
?
I advised her, just in case.?
?
But Mary laughed it off with a snicker.?
?
“HAHAHA! I’m not that incompetent that I can’t manipulate someone of that caliber, you know? I have already investigated the past of those two, and I know what kind of thoughts they had and what kind of stories they had. So there’s no reason why I can’t do what I want.”?
?
“I see. Well, if you think so, Mary, that’s fine. But what can I say …… sorry, but I think Mary’s scenario is going to fall apart soon, you know?”?
?
“…. Why?”?
?
Oh, she got angry.?
?
She always looked down on me, but what she said just now really irked me. Her expression was grim.?
?
I guess she’s that confident in herself, but …… unfortunately, I’m certain …..?
?
She is, apparently, following the romantic comedy that unfolded between me and Ryuzaki last time.?
?
She’s not interested in the process and probably doesn’t have enough passion to put in the time and effort there. She decided to follow the precedent and use a template, but …… it didn’t seem like it would work.?
?
Because there is a big difference between then and now.?
?
It’s the casting of the main heroine.?
?
“Can a character like Mary be the main heroine?”?
?
Last time, Shiho was in that position.?
?
She was an outsider, but she had enough character to be the main heroine.?
?
But Mary, unfortunately, does not seem to be in that class.?
?
“You’re just a subheroine who came out for the sake of power, so why not be as happy as you can be?”?
?
It’s kind of hilarious.?
?
It’s like I used to be, thinking I was the main character even though I was a mob character.?
?
That’s why I laughed earlier.?
?
I felt sorry for Mary, who was trying to play a role that was not appropriate for herself.?
?
“Hmm? I don’t know…well, it’s fine. You’d know it when you see it, and there’s nothing I can’t do.”?
?
“Oh, yes. I’ll be watching you all the time, dancing in your palm.”?
?
“…… Kotaro, you don’t resist, do you? Aren’t you dissatisfied with being moved as I want you to be moved?”?
?
“No, I’m not. I’m sure you’ll say you’re going to get Shiho involved this time if I resist, right? I’m not going to be able to do that. I’ll be Mary’s toy.”?
?
Well, …… yeah.?
?
I don’t think there’s any point in me messing around with it, and I’m not going to resist.?
?
Because I’m sure Mary will go down on her own, and I’ll just have to watch her do it.?
?
“Don’t think you’ll get what you want, okay? At best, just go for it.”?
?
The words, which were rough for me, came out of my mouth on their own.?
?
I was surprised at myself.?
?
……Oh, I see. Maybe I’m angry.?
?
Because Mary said she was the main heroine.?
?
In other words, she thinks she is the same level as Shiho.?
?
That’s impossible.?
?
Because Shiho is so much more charming than Mary.
