Chapter 93 - Volume 6 (1/2)
Volume 6, Chapter 4: Turned into a mob character, Part 2
“You, why aren’t you following me diligently. If I’m walking alone while talking I look like a fool.”
“………”
Two days later, I encountered Matsuri again.
How strange…… I changed my route home, so how did I still meet you?
“Anyway, just come over here.”
“Ehhh~……”
Was Matsuri capable of learning? She grabbed my hand this time and started walking. After walking for a while, I was brought to the back of the PE equipment room where people didn’t come at all.
“This place will do. Really, it was all because you’re such a dullard. Don’t get lost this time.”
“Okay, got it.”
I didn’t get lost.
“How is it? Are you Surprised? I made it into Takamine.”
“Eh…… yes.”
I was really surprised. It might just be me, but shouldn’t you have said that line when I met you on the first day of the year? Anyway, I already knew that Matsuri was the transfer student even before I met her.
“I was going to enter in junior high, it’s true, but I felt like the events were progressing too quickly, so I got Dad to get me in.”
“……events?”
“Ah, it’s alright. Because you’re a mob character, it’s okay if you don’t understand anything, you know? Upupupu, it’s sad to be a mob character.”
“Mob?”
“Fufu. To be able to speak like this to a mob character, it’s certainly a really good simulation. I don’t discriminate, even against mob characters. I will add you to my group.”
“………”
“Ah, right, you’ll be an easy mark for a spy. It’s quite annoying. Certainly, the timing is different, but I should end up in the same class as Kouki-kun due to the heroine correction.”
Matsuri who spouted all those interesting things… didn’t end up entering our class.
It was possible to transfer in from outside with appropriate connections and donations, but our class was fixed for the year, and it was impossible to join the class unless one was an amazingly talented person like Yuuki-kun.
In short, Matsuri’s academic ability was insufficient, and ended up in the regular class.
And also, there was a rumour being spread.
After all, I’d made a video beforeー someone making a racket after climbing over the outer wall of Takamine school, and after I showed that to Kouki-kun who’d burst out laughing, it seems that some other people in other classes had seen it.
Then, on the first day of the transfer,
[I am Sakurazaki Matsuri from the suburbs. Please take care of me.]
With a self-introduction that could have been accompanied by a ~yaruuun~ noise, people who’d watched that little animation were straining their abdominal muscles. Matsuri was truly a sinful child.
“Mob character, tell me. You know Kouki-kun and Handsome-kun, don’t you? Why is Kouki-kun by Kako’s side?”
Hearing Prince-kun’s full name for the first time in a long while, my body twitched and trembled. Is this becoming a trauma at the level of the soul……?
“Umm? Aren’t the two of them fiancées? Isn’t it alright, for a beautiful couple?”
“Haaa? Mob child, what kind of joke are you trying to make? There is no way that that villainous daughter is a beauty. I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
“Is that so?”
Kako might be easily misunderstood. To me, though, the inside of Matsuri’s head is in a completely different dimension.
What the world is a Mob? Is it a technical term? I guess she heard that Kako was a villainous daughter.
“That’s right. Besides, Kako had drawn herself away from Kouki-kun, so shouldn’t their relationship not be that great?”
“……Are you familiar with Kako?”
“It’s well-known.”
“……Ah, is that so?”
“That’s right, and now, Handsome-kun.”
*twitch*
“Why is he so thin? He’s supposed to be getting slimmer in the second year of junior high. Was it because I remembered the events, that they came early? But, I think it was a lucky turn. I didn’t expect him to be so cute since his elementary school days.”
“………”
Such improper talk…… Although I agree that he’s cute. ……ah, Onzada-kun sent me an email.
“If I can successfully solve the problem here, I can bring the events up ahead of time. Ah, but he’s not a junior high school student now, so I can’t get rid of the vengeful spirits. Well, although it started early, there’s no common ground, so I can’t advance. Hey, mob character, do you know of [Onsa-kun] who’s three years older than you? He’s a boy with a wild feeling.”
“I don’t know him.”
Eeh~…… Onzada-kun, do you also want to go to Dad-chan’s ramen shop? Didn’t we have it just two days ago? Did you like it a lot?…… and, send.
“What, you’re no use at all. Well. He should be the son of a priest in a temple”
“Hey hey”
“More than that, about Kako. Her behaviour is different up until now…… perhaps. Yeah, that’s surely right. She also has ‘memories’. Because this story is a staple.”
“Hoho”
I’v gotten lots of emails from Onzada-kun this year. Because he was in junior high, when he wanted to eat it he went alone, but when he was with me there were a lot more service.
…… Ah, I did it again. That’s why I said that it would only be okay when I turned 20.
“There seems to be a need for me to teach you a little…… Mob character, can you prepare a dead animal?”
“……N? Kagoshima Wagyu sirloin is good?”
“Why are you suddenly thinking of putting such high class meat in the shoe locker!?”
“I got it as a Christmas gift, but I can’t eat it yet.”
“Nobody ever gives such stupid presents!?”
…… But I have it.
Most of it ended up being processed and eaten with my family or distributed to the employees, but it seems that I made a mistake thinking about consuming only the filets and sirloin because it was a gift.
There’s still a lot of it in our company’s freezer.
“Ah, oh well. You should go and spy on and grasp Kako’s weaknesses. I have something else to do for now. Fufu, I’m looking forward to it.”
“…………”
I didn’t quite get it, but there was something about Kako……?
Having said everything that she wanted to say, Matsuri skipped away as if flying, and left.
“What was that……”
It has nothing to do with me, please leave me out of your gossip……
