I Became a Supporting Character in an N*R Manga - I Became a Supporting Character in an NTR Manga chapter 78

78 – Juliet’s Maid – 2

The preparation period for the cultural festival was about a month, which was either long or short. Because it was my first time experiencing an event, my expectations and anxiety coexisted. I hope it goes as smoothly as I want.

“Then, Haruna, Kuromi, and Nanase will be in charge of the costumes!”

I thought as I watched Shiraishi come to the table and assign roles for the play we were preparing.

With no one particularly dissatisfied, Shiraishi decided to assume full authority and lead Class 2-a.

“Okay, next, I’ll announce the person in charge of props and background!”

She asks each person’s opinion and allocates roles according to what they want.

No student objected to that.

There was also a reason why Shiraishi led everyone with his unique charisma. Is it because, in general, everyone’s opinions were respected and roles were divided reasonably?

I was the only one who was given an unreasonable role.

She stayed quiet at that time, not wanting to lower her morale.

The role of a maid who protects Juliet…. It was unexpected. Besides, it had to be a maid….

“Then I’ll announce the roles next!”

Shiraishi proudly stretched out her hand and shouted.

“The main character, Romeo Montague, is Yuuki Yuu!”

“Yes yes…” You can do it….”

It seemed like she was just as dissatisfied as I was, but she ended up accepting it with Yuuki.

“I am Juliet Capulin, Akira Shiraishi!”

Her eyes are sparkling brightly. Shiraishi.

It must have gone according to plan up to this point….

Shiraishi recites those who play her role with bright eyes.

It seemed like it had already been decided and couldn’t be changed.

“And… Minsu plays the role of Juliet’s nanny and maid.”

Shiraishi looks around her classroom.

When our eyes met, she smiled.

If you want to file a complaint, now is the time, the only time is now.

“Mr. Minsu. Are you okay?”

“……… Huh.”

I couldn’t bear to refuse and nodded.

“Yes! Well, that concludes the casting announcement! From now on, please split into groups and sit down!”

After the role assignment, Shiraishi moves on to the next step without hesitation.

I couldn’t bear to tackle her as she seemed to be in a good mood.

Because I was the one who instilled high expectations in her to do her play. I didn’t want to disappoint her like that.

There is nothing we can do when it becomes like this….

I’ll try to convince them later that it won’t work out at least for the gender of the role I’m playing.

There is no difference between a maid and a servant.

I saw Haruna changing her seat. She was in charge of costumes, just as she wanted. She sat together with female students in the same role.

If something like that had not happened to me, she would have been in the same group as Haruna.

At the end, the plan went awry.

When our eyes met, she waved her hand at me.

Sorry, Haruna… You worked hard for me.

Just as I expected Shiraishi and Yuuki’s relationship to improve, I also expected to be in the same group as Haruna and spend time with her. It bothered me that I unintentionally ended up in a different group.

“…… Lol. I’m looking forward to the play. Right?”

As I approached her heart, Haruna brightly opened her mouth.

“Yes. “I see.”

“I will also support Minsu’s acting, so let’s do our best together!”

“hahahaha….”

In fact, Haruna seemed to have already accepted it.

I feel like I’m going to be overwhelmed by the pressure of acting.

“Haruna. Please take care of me.”

“Ah, Kuromi-san.”

The girls who were in charge of her wardrobe stood next to her. Kuromi and Nanase.

“Yes, please take care of me. Nanase-san too.”

“Uh, yeah….”

She, Yuuka Kuromi, glanced at me.

Although she was in the same class, she rarely talked to me. Nanase next to him.

Well, unlike Haruna and Yuuki, I wasn’t close friends with everyone in the classroom.

So to speak, he was a male student with a faint presence, and when rumors about Sakai were at their peak, gossip often came out in class.

In other words, the relationship between me and some students in the classroom is like oil and water.

There was a feeling of disorientation that could not be mixed.

From noble mtl dot com

“Boyfriend?”

“Yes.”

When Kuromi asked, Haruna nodded her head.

Things like this happened, but the incident regarding Sakai was already a long time ago. Misunderstandings about me were also dispelled. Even though there were no more behind-the-scenes comments.

“Hmm….”

Nevertheless, an awkward feeling still remained between some students and me.

Should I say that we have an in-between relationship, neither good nor bad.

“Well, I knew about it before.”

“Yes… I’m dating Minsu… Lol….”

Haruna said, smiling like an idiot.

It was no longer something to hide. Most people in the classroom probably know.

Nanase, standing next to Kuromi, was watching her, not knowing what to do.

So… What should I say? They were the ones who were passionate about gossiping behind my back when rumors about me were spreading.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, we didn’t do it anymore.

“…… “I have something to say for a moment.”

“Huh?”

That Kuromi looked at me and said.

“Can I see you later after the meeting is over?”

“……… ….”

What on earth is this?

She turned her gaze and looked at Haruna.

When our eyes met, Haru looked embarrassed, but she nodded her head at me.

It’s okay, so does that mean I should give it a go?

“…… Okay.”

After such an incomprehensible conversation, I sat down with the students of the actor team.

I didn’t know what was going on, but the cultural festival in front of me was more important right now.

I saw Shiraishi instructing the prop team students on the necessary supplies.

Should I say there is no hesitation? As expected, the decision to use the cultural festival seemed to be the right answer.

Use this event to get to know Yuuki and the rest of the class… Because my goal was to enable Shiraishi to have a smooth academy life.

Yes, connecting with Yuuki and having a smooth academy life. The two are no different.

To elaborate a bit, should I say it is engraving a page of my youth?

I hoped that Shiraishi would fit into the life here and get along well with everyone.

That is the prerequisite for a happy ending in my opinion.

Because she has something special about her, unlike Haruna and Takase-senpai. While she likes to step forward, she is also proud and arrogant.

She shows off without malice and sometimes makes others feel uncomfortable.

However, that meant that she had the personality of a pure child.

Shiraishi is by no means a villain.

She just acts honestly and as her heart leads, and speaks without hesitation.

Even his bold confession to Yuuki was nothing more than a disaster caused by his personality.

“Yes, I like it! Well then, I’ll trust and leave it to the prop team! If you have any problems, please tell me!”

She just doesn’t know how.

Of course, I also had a hard time with her blending in perfectly with the society she belonged to and getting along with everyone.

Even though I was told to take care of myself, I had nothing to say, and I also realized that it was presumptuous of me to expect something like that from Shiraishi.

“Then next is the costume team! “Please take care of everyone!”

Nevertheless, I wanted Shiraishi to be happy.

I hope you can avoid misfortune.

***

Let’s say she committed it again.

It was the result of a somewhat impulsive action… I didn’t really feel any regrets.

If Minsu takes on the role, she will be able to continue to work with me, who plays the female protagonist.

If things continue like this, I feel like I will be separated from Minsu throughout the preparation period for the cultural festival, so at the end of the meeting, I gave Minsu a role that was almost unreasonable….

It’s okay.

Because the script and roles can be adapted as much as you like.

After school, I, the director of this play, finished assigning roles and entrusted each team with their work.

Then I looked back at the students leaving school and followed him with my eyes.

I distributed my adapted script to the actor team, but I actually wanted to apologize to Minsu separately.

Because I was given the role due to my own greed. The sight of him looking perplexed and at a loss as to what to do continued to linger in my mind.

That said, I had no intention of changing the role of Juliet’s servant.

An apology is needed for this somewhat forced action.

So, I planned to talk separately while walking together on the way home from school today.

“…… Oh.”

At that time, I saw him leaving the classroom.

I followed after him without realizing it.

Those people in front of Minsu are definitely costumers Kuromi and Nanase.

What is happening?

Unable to overcome my curiosity, I quietly followed behind him, even though I knew I should not.

I watched through the window as they entered an empty classroom.

When I slightly open the window, I hear that voice.

“……… It’s been a while, but….”

“But we were wrong….”

The two female students bowed their heads or stammered, unsure of what was going on. Mr. Minsu was looking at them blankly.

“I’m sorry I misunderstood you back then!”

“I also cursed behind your back… “I want to apologize.”

Two female students give an apple.

Looking at that scene, I remembered the information I had heard before transferring to this academy.

Commotion about the soccer club.

I had already heard that Mr. Minsu was involved in the incident and suffered for a while due to negative rumors.

“Now we have to prepare for the cultural festival together, and we all have to do it together… !”

“I also feel sorry for Kato-san… “I kept wanting to apologize.”

Even as he continued to receive apologies from the two female students, he scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

“Ah… okay. Because I understand.”

“Are you accepting it?”

“Okay… “It was a while ago.”

It’s so easy to forgive and accept those who criticized you behind your back.

Although he looked a bit dazed, Minsu smiled awkwardly and looked at them.

“Thank you… “For accepting my apology.”

“Let’s be friendly from now on.”

Miss Kuromi holds out her hand.

Although Mr. Minsu hesitated, he stretched out his arm and took the hand.

“Preparation for the cultural festival. “Let’s work hard together.”

“Uh, yeah… okay.”

I quietly watched Minsu talking to them, even though he was embarrassed and muttering.

I would say it was an unexpected sight.

The person who shook hands with them and opened his mouth awkwardly did not look like he particularly disliked them.

That would definitely be a good thing for him.

What it means to first apologize and reconcile with those who insulted you.

Being friendly with so many people is definitely a good thing for him.

For some reason, my heart sank heavily as I looked at that scene.

To be more specific, it would be a month if I let go of the hand I was holding.

I didn’t want to see him get close to someone else.

Why is that?

I have to suppress these bad feelings.

I couldn’t even do that, so I turned around and got out of there.
