Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem-Chapter 25，Part1

Chapter 25.1. The Story Suddenly Comes Out Of The Blue

We were taking a break after the race, and for some reason, I was the only one getting scolded by the officials.

“Why was he pissed at me?”

Miu tilts her head while sipping water from the water server. I was following the rules, right?

“Haha, that’s just like Em-chan. But I was told you’re not allowed to do that next time.”

“That was dangerous to watch~.”

“Yes, yes, that was a close call.”

“Do you want to buy some juice?”

Tamamo, Hoku-chan, and the others laugh amusedly. The water from the water server tastes so good and chilled, right? That’s the power of magic too? The cooling effect is too strong.

After the race, we enjoyed many games, and it was almost evening. The most interesting one was we shot floating holographic balloons. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥．𝐜𝐨𝗺

“I think we should go home. Do you want to play tomorrow?”

Tomorrow is Saturday. It’s a holiday. In this world, Saturdays and Sundays are vacations. Tamamo wants to play tomorrow too. Hmmm, I wonder if Yamiyo will go to the dungeon. After the stone golem incident the other day, we’re banned from going to the dungeons.

“Tomorrow I’m going to the theater with my dad…”

“I’m going to see kabuki.”

“Piano recital.”

Hoku-chan and the others replied with some celebrity-esque errands. Tamamo’s face turns sad with disappointment, but she looks at En-chan, aka me.

My errand. In the morning, I practice my forward roll and passive throw. After that, it’s class prep and review. Nap, snack, dinner, and that’s it.

“I have no errands! Well then, why don’t you stay over? We have a lot of meat from Hornbear Cow, and I heard it’s sukiyaki today.”

“I’ll call my mom!”

I’ll get a twinkle in my eye. I’m looking forward to the mystery meat sukiyaki. Sukiyaki is one of my top three favorite foods. By the way, in my previous life, I used wagyu ribs for yakiniku as sukiyaki meat. The supermarket near my house always puts up half-price stickers, as if they’re full of stock. It’s delicious to make sukiyaki with thick meat for yakiniku.

My mom giggled and allowed me to stay over, telling me not to bother Tamamo’s family and to have fun. I guess the point of the permission was that the sukiyaki appealed to her. She did tell me to come to her house once, though. I had to bring a sleepover set.

Also, my mother said she would send me to Tamamo’s house with a souvenir. Staying over at a friend’s house is hard when you’re a kid. In my previous life, I had never stayed over at a friend’s house when I was a child.

So, I said goodbye to everyone and went home. Hoku laughed at Tamamo, saying she knew me well, but I wanted to eat mysterious meat. This girl’s body screams. Is it true?

After I got home and changed clothes, my mom had to drive me to Tamamo’s house. In the car, I, the gray-haired girl shakes her body excitedly.

“Mom, I heard she has a lot of horn …… something!”

“You’re going to behave yourself, okay?”

“Yes! Meat, veggies, veggies, tofu, meat in that order!”

I get invited. I’m not a big fan of discretion. When I reply with a “Humph.”, my mom giggles. She’s still smiling kindly. Our family is still close, you know.

“What did you bring as a souvenir?”

“Yokan from the Japanese sweets shop in front of the station.

“That yokan is delicious, isn’t it?”

I’m a gray-haired beautiful girl who gets nervous when I think of food souvenirs given to customers. I like yokan. I burst out laughing, and my mother drives her car.

And that is when Tamamo’s house came into view. Tamamo’s house is a magician’s house. However, Tamamo’s family are not combat magicians, they are making magical tools. Tamamo’s father is wealthy because of his skill. Therefore, her house is located in a high-class residential area.

As I watched a large mansion go by through the window, I was looking ahead and thought it was about time, when I saw a strange sight. Not just weird, but I saw a troubling view.

“Who’s at Tamamo’s house, Mom?”

I have been to Tamamo’s house a few times to visit. So I know Tamamo’s house well. It’s an elegant mansion. The walls are clean but solid so as not to ruin the view, and there is even a gate. As you would expect, there is no gatekeeper, but they employ servants.

It must be the butler. Three people were talking in front of the gate. Gradually, we approached the group, and the brake hit with a squeak, bringing the car to a halt.

“Mii-chan, don’t go outside. Stay here.”

“Yeah! I’ll wait for you.”

My mom must have sensed something in the air. Her eyebrows furrowed, and her tone was stiff. I open the window so I can hear the conversation.

Well, that’s right. What can I say? It’s just so suspicious!

Those who talk to the butler are wearing white robes! Moreover, the tip of the head is a sharp type of hood. Those guys don’t often accept job titles.

Moreover, a large tree is embroidered on the back. It is elaborate, and you can see the branches and leaves one by one.

Even with the window open, I knew who they were.

“[Yggdrasil]……”

“Mii-chan, do you know them? It’s true, that’s [Yggdrasil], isn’t it?”

My mom looks at the three with a look of disgust. That is unusual because my mom is usually relaxed and rarely has a look of disgust on her face. That’s how suspicious the three of them are. Isn’t it time to call the policeman?

It’s a scene only a novel could have produced. A murderer appears with his face wrapped in bandages, a magician wanders by from the corner of the street dressed as a clown, and men in suspicious-looking robes. They would stand out from the crowd, wouldn’t they? In my previous life, they would have taken the “This way, officer.” route.

But this is a world in a novel. And there are a lot of guys in robes. You know, like the rear guard of an adventurer. They usually walk around with a staff and a robe. It’s frustrating, but the background of the world is like that, so they don’t look suspicious. Really? Why don’t they call the policeman?
