Chapter 139
The 'human power' of the protagonist-sama
What does this guy want?
I thought he had stopped coming to school, and then suddenly he shows up in front of me, moreover he's heckling me for no reason.
It was very frustrating to see that he thought he was a 'mob character' and for some reason was trying to put me in a good mood.
「What's your point? "Why did you talk to me?" "Hey, Ryuzaki... I don't understand what you're doing right now."」
I don't see a story in his current actions.
It doesn't seem like something he would say or do to foreshadow the future. ...... What do you want to do?
「No? "It's not a big reason." However, I'm thinking of coming to school tomorrow, but... I have had a lot going on with Nakayama, haven't I? "For once, I thought I'd draw a line."」
「A punishment? You gave it to me?」
( TL/ED:WTF does this mean,someone please let me know)
What is this guy talking about?
You have nothing to apologize to me for, you know?
I haven't done anything wrong.
I think the people you should be apologizing to are the girls who are always trampling over your feelings.
His brow furrowed at the incomprehensible statement.
I decided to ask him about it first.
「Yeah, I had a lot of misunderstandings about you... I'm sorry.Honestly, I looked down on Nakayama. I underestimated him, thinking he was someone of a lower rank than me.That’s why Shiho and Mary said they liked you, and it really pissed me off but that was a ...... mistake.」
Misunderstanding? No, not really. I’m a lower-ranked person, just as you’ve recognized.
There's almost nothing I have that Ryuzaki doesn't have.It's just that, on the inside, there might be some parts of me that are a little better than Ryuzaki, but considering my status, I'm clearly lower than him.
But Ryuzaki denies it.
「Nakayama was a higher-ranked person than me.That's when I finally realized... I'm sorry for always underestimating you... Starting tomorrow, I'll be quiet, so I hope you don't bully me too much.」
「Huh?」
Once again, I let out a hysterical cry.
I really don't get it. I never was bullied by you, remember?
Sure, I've been licked a lot of times, but I'm not proud enough to get angry over every little thing.
So why?
Is he misunderstanding something?
「Ryuzaki, are you making fun of me? I'm not angry, I've never been bullied, and I haven't been apologized to.I don't get it... Who the hell do you think I am?」
I asked him why.
I don't know why he's so hung up on me... but Ryuzaki finally gives me the answer.
「I mean, Nakayama’s the protagonist, isn’t he? He's someone who’s promised victory, right? So please don’t show too much hostility toward me as a Mob character... Because of that, I’ve been failing all the time.I mean, I'm just asking you to treat me like a mob character at ...... school. Because if you get involved with me, all I'll do is lose」
――Dammit.
So that's what happened... You really are hopeless, Ryuzaki.
「Me, the protagonist?」
The only one who let me stay in that position was the girl I cared about.
There was a huge misunderstanding. If I were the main character, I could have lived a different life.
I don't really regret it.
But let’s say I was the main character... I wouldn’t have been close to Shiho, and I should have been able to make sure the three girls you made unhappy were happy.
In other words, I've lost a lot of things that have piled up deep inside me, overcoming my setbacks, and coming to the present. Even someone of my caliber can shake off the past and move forward.
But Ryuzaki couldn't do that.
I know he was shocked to be rejected by Shiho and Mary. I can understand why his heart would break and he would be discouraged.
But Ryuzaki couldn't get over it.
He has been holed up in his own shell for the past month and a half, and the conclusion he came to... must have been this.
—So Nakayama Koutarou is the “main character”?
Because of that, he lost... Or so Ryuzaki thinks.
It's not my fault. The story is bad. The casting is bad. I just happened not to be chosen.I just lost to Nakayama because I was unlucky. It's not like he's superior as a human. He just happened to be lucky.
I finally understood the words between the lines and sighed.
The hero, formed by opportunism, is ...... really fragile. Without the heroine's help, he can't really do anything.
Weak. As a human being, he is really immature.
Making excuses all the time, trampling on other people’s feelings, and then sulking in the end... he’s the worst kind of person—―
