Chapter 56,Part1
Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem
Chapter 56.1. I Donât Need Yakuza Relatives
After the saintâs debut, all thatâs left is the festival. All thatâs left to do is to relax and try to conquer all the dishes. While chatting with the new friends Iâve befriended, we stuff our faces with cream puffs. Of course, itâs a small portion. The cooks laugh as they watch us, and from the start, they divide the food into smaller portions so we can all eat a lot.
I wish I had made a Fullness Digestion Potion to make me hungry. In the game, the food buffs my status for 6 hours, but after I eat one type of food, it shows that Iâm full and canât eat anymore. So if I wanted to eat another dish and switch buffs, I used the Fullness Digestion Potion.
Itâs a fine meal, so itâs not worth it to do that. After Iâm done eating, Iâll do some exercise to empty my stomach. Iâm going to practice my didge.
âIs everyoneâs papa a baron?â
âYes, he is!â
âHe became a baron the year before last.â
âMy papa is CEO.â
I looked at my new friends. I thought that the clothes they were wearing were somewhat different. Girls wear expensive and fluttery dresses, girls wear kimonos, boys wear crested hakama and suits, girls wear cute one-piece dresses just like Miu, and girls wear ordinary clothes.
Itâs a lot of money. Was it a group of influential merchants and barons?
âYou canât go over there.â
âLetâs see, I heard itâs the place of the great men.â
One of the girls pointed to a group near the balcony. There was a group of people there wearing gorgeous clothes. Adults and children alike were all dressed in expensive-looking clothes. The women were the most conspicuous. They are wearing expensive-looking jeweled accessories.
âThatâs the group of the viscounts over there. The further in is where dukes, marquises, and other important people gather. You canât go there, okay?â
âYes! Iâll enjoy cooking with my friends! Do you want to go over there, Tamamo-chan?â
âIâll play with Em-chan! Sticky~.â
My father pats me on the head and tells me, and U nods honestly. Mii-chan is a good girl. Iâm not going to charge in like an airheaded otome game heroine.
Sheâs discrete and mature. Thatâs how Takano Miu knows how to get around as a mob.
Iâm laughing as Tamamo hugs and plays with me, but I also think that Yamiyo wonât likely come back. Sheâs doing a lot of work, greeting people and all.
Besides, itâs fun to play with everyone. Thereâs a kid whose dress is getting a little old, so I ask him for his name and check him out. Frigg told me to keep an eye out for them. She said to remember any noble who might be in need. Sheâs going to check if theyâre employable.
I enjoyed chatting with my new friends, and I enjoyed the food, but it was not a heartwarming end to the day.
With a rustle of wings, a crow swooped down on the table. It was Munin.
He turns his intelligent red eyes toward me. No one noticed but me. Muninâs performance in gathering information about the world means that no one but Odin and the rest of us in the party will notice him unless he tries to be seen.
âWe didnât find the dungeon, Caw.â
The weakness of the system is that it can only gather general information. I canât investigate intriguing relationships, and I canât find anything hidden. Even in the myths, Friggâs set up and tortured, and Odinâs unaware of Lokiâs plot. This proves that Muninâs abilities are limited. Even if the Munin of the game realized it, it was restricted to information gathering.
But I knew he would find the dungeon I asked for. Is it hidden, â¦â¦â¦? Or am I wrong? Umumu, Iâm not sure.
Munin starts grooming and then eating a small portion of the food. Even though I know theyâre not watching me, Iâm a little scared, so stay away. Thanks, Munin.
I casually pat Muninâs head, and he cackles and flies off into the sky.
âLet me know if you need anything.â
âCaw.â
He nodded, and the crow flew away. As I looked at the sky in relief that this might end peacefully, I heard a dummied voice call out to me.
âHa! Looks like youâre living the good life, Yoshiyuki?.â
What the? Did some thugs blend in? I turned my head in the direction of the voice and saw a thug dressed in an expensive-looking suit approaching. Next to him is a kid with a body as fat as a piglet.
I tilted my head and wondered who it was, and my mom squeezed my hand. I looked at the motherâs face and saw a stern look on her face.
âThis is Arashi-san. Hello.â
My dad, with an equally stern look, answers the approaching thug with a harsh tone in his voice. Who are these guys?
âYouâre cold with this Arashi-san, little brother. Ah, should I rephrase it as my brother who never woke up to mana?â
The thug, of medium height and a little skinny, turn on the gun. I saw his dull green hair and remembered him. This guy is my fatherâs brother. Iâve only seen him once before.
âIs this my fatherâs brother?â
The fat little piglet looked down at my father and then snickered. No, not like that. No, not like he did. He seems to have a twisted personality.
âAh, as you can see, youâre common trash. I heard that the girl there miraculously woke up to mana, and sheâs having a much better time because of it, right?â
Arashi makes fun of me. This guy is a count? The existence of such a thuggish jerk is, after all, only in a world of fiction. Itâs a fantasy. I donât recommend committing suicide.
âIs that suit custom-made, huh? How much does it cost? No, itâs just a big, fancy, jeweled accessory⦠How much for the bratâs dress?â
Trying to be difficult, the thug looks at his father, then at his mother, and finally at me. My dadâs suit isnât custom-made, and my momâs jewelry doesnât have any large jewelry.
âI bought it at the Kaminashi department store! It cost 50,000 yen including tax! Isnât it the best dress?â
I tell him with pride. It cost quite a lot of money. Isnât it cute? Iâll show it off since itâs a little expensive.
Miu proudly spun her body around to show off her charms, and the hoodlum stopped talking. What is it? Miuâs cuteness got to you?
âSo, how much is that cute hair ornament â¦â¦?â
âThis is 1,500 yen! I bought it for today! I wonder if it looks good on me.â
