Shimotsuki-san Likes the Mob (WN)

I approached Kirari, who apparently has a tendency to be dependent, she would become attached to me as it were.

If that happened, Shiho would surely be sad.

If I befriended another girl, I would hurt her.

I didn’t want to do that, so I made sure to keep my distance from Kirari.

Huh… If this continues, it’s just like Mary’s plot.

There was a hint of a collapse in the beginning, but thanks to Shiho’s flair, her story picked up.
Since then, it has remained as stable as an airplane that has taken off.

If the weather gets rough, or she might lose her position.
If there is trouble, she could crash-land.
But so far, there was no sign of anything happening, and the story goes on.

“Nihihihi.
I can’t stop laughing… Everything is exactly as I want it to be, right? Hey, Kotaro? Don’t you think so?”

Mary is in a completely good mood.

She was smiling with satisfaction in the limousine.
She was leaning back in her seat with her legs crossed and hands folded, like she was slumped over.

“Yes, yes.
I guess I was wrong.
I’m sorry… Are you satisfied now? If so, I’d like you to let me go home.”

Today, again, I was taken in forcefully.

Since it was the day before the school festival, the school would silently allow us to stay in overtime even after school dismissal time.
So, I stayed until 8:00 p.m.

Shiho had a curfew and had already gone home.

I was going to go home alone right away, but Mary caught me on the way.

“Tomorrow, I will finally finish my big project, you know? I can’t help but get excited.
You know, the work that is about to be completed is the most exciting to finish, isn’t it? It’s just like that.”

“… I’m not a creator, so I don’t know how that feels.”

“Well, well, well, don’t get so frustrated, will you? Now, you just have to go along with my conversation.
Even you, Mr.
Mob Character, can do that, can’t you?”

As usual, Mary is a bad character.
Just conversing with her is kind of tiring.

Sigh… I can’t wait to get home…
