āHahahaā¦ā¦ Oh, sorry. Iām not making fun of you. Itās just that it was a little funny.ā
I hurriedly tried to make things right, but Maryās face instantly turned sour.
She seemed to be annoyed that I was making fun of her plot.
āWhat? If you have something to complain about, why donāt you just say so? Iām a forgiving person, so Iāll listen to you.ā
āNo, no, I have nothing to complain about. You can do whatever you want ā¦ā¦, but Iāll give you some advice.ā
Iām a āmob characterā at heart, so no matter how hard I try, I canāt stop the actions of the primary characters, the Maryās. I canāt 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 doesnāt 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 ā¦ā¦ Ryoma Ryuzaki is more of a āprotagonistā 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 donāt think she would lose heart. And itās impossible for her to like meā¦ā¦.
āI donāt think you should underestimate the characters. I think Ryuzaki and Kirari are tougher than you think, Mary.ā
I advised her, just in case.
But Mary laughed it off with a snicker.
āHAHAHA! Iām not that incompetent that I canāt 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 thereās no reason why I canāt do what I want.ā
āI see. Well, if you think so, Mary, thatās fine. But what can I say ā¦ā¦ sorry, but I think Maryās scenario is going to fall apart soon, you know?ā
āā¦. Why?ā
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 sheās that confident in herself, but ā¦ā¦ unfortunately, Iām certain ā¦..
She is, apparently, following the romantic comedy that unfolded between me and Ryuzaki last time.
Sheās not interested in the process and probably doesnāt have enough passion to put in the time and effort there. She decided to follow the precedent and use a template, but ā¦ā¦ it didnāt seem like it would work.
Because there is a big difference between then and now.
Itās the casting of the main heroine.
āCan a character like Mary be the main heroine?ā
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.
āYouāre just a subheroine who came out for the sake of power, so why not be as happy as you can be?ā
Itās kind of hilarious.
Itās like I used to be, thinking I was the main character even though I was a mob character.
Thatās why I laughed earlier.
I felt sorry for Mary, who was trying to play a role that was not appropriate for herself.
āHmm? I donāt knowā¦well, itās fine. Youād know it when you see it, and thereās nothing I canāt do.ā
āOh, yes. Iāll be watching you all the time, dancing in your palm.ā
āā¦ā¦ Kotaro, you donāt resist, do you? Arenāt you dissatisfied with being moved as I want you to be moved?ā
āNo, Iām not. Iām sure youāll say youāre going to get Shiho involved this time if I resist, right? Iām not going to be able to do that. Iāll be Maryās toy.ā
Well, ā¦ā¦ yeah.
I donāt think thereās any point in me messing around with it, and Iām not going to resist.
Because Iām sure Mary will go down on her own, and Iāll just have to watch her do it.
āDonāt think youāll get what you want, okay? At best, just go for it.ā
The words, which were rough for me, came out of my mouth on their own.
I was surprised at myself.
ā¦ā¦Oh, I see. Maybe Iām angry.
Because Mary said she was the main heroine.
In other words, she thinks she is the same level as Shiho.
