Today, just as usual, in the waiting room, Serious-senpai was reading the 9th Volume of āI was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World is at Peaceā.
This timeās Serious-senpai was somewhat relaxed and calm, and there was even a slight hint of elegance in her gestures with each flip of a pageā¦ā¦ or so, thatās how she feels.
[ā¦ā¦It was a really good volume. Although there were many fillers connecting to big events in the middle of the story, I can expect a lot of serious development. I suppose this means that my turn will soon come?]
[No, isnāt the fact that youāre calmly sitting over there while all that serious scenes are happening your answer?]
[ā¦ā¦Shut up.]
? ? ?, who was sitting opposite here while drinking choccy milk, astoundedly spoke. Yes, this room is a āwaiting room exclusively for those who are treated as unwanted children in the main storyā. The fact that Serious-senpai is here even though there are serious scenes in the main story is proof that she wouldnāt come strutting around for any serious scene.
[ā¦ā¦For goodness sake, just admit it. Senpai is a āgag characterā. No matter how serious the main story gets, you wouldnāt appear in it.]
[SHADDUUUUUUP! Iām a serious character! Iām the serious of the serious. Iām seriousness, and seriousness is me.]
[No, I donāt know what youāre talking about anymoreā¦ā¦but if you accept being a gag character, you might have a chance of appearing in the main story, you know?]
[No, if youāre a gag character with the name Serious-senpai, doesnāt that make you an idiot!? If thatās the case, thatād make them just a dolt who thinks sheās actually a serious character, even though their name in itself is a joke!!!]
[ā¦ā¦Thatās a perfect self-analysis, isnāt it?]
It was a very apt self-introduction, but Serious-senpai didnāt want to admit that she was a gag character, and insisted that she was a serious character. Well, even then, claiming such a thing in itself makes her enough to consider a gag characterā¦ā¦ but fortunately or unfortunately, Serious-senpai was not smart enough to realize this.
[I mean, Senpaiā¦ā¦ Just now, you said your name is Serious-senpai, didnāt you?]
[I did say that.]
[ā¦ā¦Does your real name include that 'senpaiā?]
[Eh? Itās already Volume 9, so isnāt it too late to ask that? Yeah, thatās right. I mean, itās not like I have any kouhaisā¦ā¦]
[A goofball to the max right from her name huhā¦ā¦ It seems like, from the moment you are born, youāve already turned into a gag character.]
[I donāt want my name being pointed out by someone like you!]
This is repeated for those who may have forgotten about it, but ? ? ?ās name is being read as āHatenaā. However, itās not like that is her real nameā¦ā¦
As per usual, Serious-senpai made a fuss with ? ? ?, but she gasped, seemingly realizing something.
[ā¦ā¦Wait, thatās not it! Putting that aside, we have to get to the meat of the storyā¦ā¦ Look, thereās that new character, Earth God, who seemed to have a history with you.]
[No, Iām not the Transcendental Beauty Alice-chan, Iām just Alice-chanās fanā¦ā¦]
[Nobody remembers your setting anymore! Enough of that and letās just talk about it! Weāre running out of pages to write on!]
[Haahhh, it canāt be helpedā¦ā¦ It was a story of the past. Yes, Iā¦ā¦ Alice-chan had met her before she came to Trinia.]
[Eh? No, like I said, weāre running out of pages here, so donāt start with that slow-paced narrative. How about we talk about your real name, which was blacked out, and stuff like thatā¦ā¦ Ahh, wait, weāre out of space already!?]
And thus, as per usual, without touching on the contents of the main storyā¦ā¦ The story in Serious-senpaiās room came to an end.
