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”…
