Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem
Chapter 57.2. Iâm Going To Play Cute Games
I noticed a new game specification that isnât very good, but Arashiâs technique seems powerful as much as it has a charge.
Itâs not the level of horse-san and deer-san possessed in the head to do this at a party hosted by the royal family where children are gathered. Itâs too far out. This thug is incapable of assessing the situation.
Iâm reluctant, but still, that magic could be bad. I decide to use martial arts again to stop him, but that decision is betrayed in a good way.
Countless leaves were scattered and mixed in with the gathering wind. With an avalanche of leaves that filled his face, Arashi hurriedly deactivated his magic and waved his arms messily to get rid of them.
âWhoa! What is this? Why are these leaves on the trees?â
Arashi panics as leaf after leaf comes toward him like a muddy stream even as he tries to peel it off. A girlâs voice is called to that panicked appearance of the thugs mischievously.
[Leaves Avalanche Technique]
.
âUncle, play with me too. Play with me a lot.â
The hem of her kimono is fluttering like a butterfly, and Tamamo, who has changed into a fox girl, smiles with a grin. Waving her arms, spinning her body, dancing like a dancer, wagging her fox tail, twitching her fox ears, and flipping her body, Tamamo was using magic.
I smile back at her as she makes a V sign to me. Miuâs friends are good kids.
âDonât underestimate me, you brats!â
[Wind]
With that one word, the thug blows the leaves off the tree by blowing winds out of his body as if it were exploding from his body. The winds of magic power must have canceled the magic of the tree leaves. The leaves that danced around disappeared as if they had been illusions. This guy can only make the right battle decisions at the right time.
But that was the end of Arashiâs magic.
âUgh, ugh, what is this?â
Arashiâs neck and limbs get entangled with thin threads of light that stretched tautly. If he moves, the threads would bite into him and break her skin.
Before I knew it, someone deployed five glowing crystals like marbles around Arashi, and the threads of light were emitted from the crystals.
[Light Thread Bind]
âYou shouldnât move without deploying your magic armor, Takano Arashi. Because that thread is quite sharp.â
It was Tamamoâs father who quietly told him. The ring on his index finger was shining, and his expression was cold. His eyes narrowed as he stared at Arashi.
âDamn, the magic tool user from Aburage! You, you think you can do this?â
âThatâs our line. I never thought you would cause a commotion at this party. Does the master know?â
âShut up! Iâm the Count.â
Into the roaring Arashi, I run at full speed without worrying about it and fly with a tongue.
âPlayful heel drop!â
âGuhah!â
What you did to my dad, Iâll double down on you as a daughter. I kick Arashiâs astonished face with my right foot. Then, she spins around and heel-drops him. Iâm going to show you the results of my heel drop.
âPlayful heel drop!â
âGohoo!â
It was a follow-up attack with a cute voice like the chirping of chicks. With a kick to the head, Arashi raises a painful voice and staggers.
âHey, Mii-chan, look out!â
Fearing that his body will be blown away by the kick and his neck will be severed by the string, Tamamoâs dad hurriedly releases the string. Thereâs no need to panic.
Staggering down to the ground, I pointed a slender finger at the thug who stumbles and falls on his butt, and I tell him so everyone can hear.
âUncle, itâs okay. This guy is deploying a magic barrier.â
âWhat! Did you come wearing a magic suit for battle!â
Tamamoâs dad was astonished, and the people around him were buzzing with disbelief. They didnât think he had deployed a magic barrier.
âHeh, itâs for self-defense. For self-defense. Damn it, so why did the bratâs attack pierce it? Was it defective?â
With blood oozing from his mouth and showing his irritated attitude, Arashi stands up. Yeah, the magic barrier is just a defense for him. I can penetrate it and do damage, you know.
I wondered at the weird feeling when I did the Foot Swipe. This thug had deployed a weak, invisible magic barrier. I guess the clothes heâs wearing are special. Thatâs why I could attack him with my bare hands without hesitation. A thiefâs bare hands do no damage at all. Mii-chan would have given it her all, even if Arashi didnât deploy the magic barrier. No comment.
âFor self-defense? If itâs for self-defense, itâs probably a more powerful magic barrier. It doesnât have to be invisible, and it should be made to respond to surprise attacks. Did you have that in mind?â
To Tamamoâs dadâs questioning tone, the thug spits blood-stained spit on the ground in a boring way.
âHa, I donât know.â
âBrother â¦â¦. Why are you doing this?â
My dad whose body has healed, asks Arashi in an angry, quiet tone. I think this punkâs thought process is buggy, donât you?
âI donât have a younger brother who can beat his older brother. I thought Iâd show you a little bit of my power.â
ââ¦Are you talking about my childhoodâ¦Iâm not the same as I used to be.â
Ha! Whatâs the matter with you that you just happened to give birth to a brat who is a recovery magician? You are still as weak as ever. If you understand, give me the girl.â
âHuh?â
My dad tries to talk to him seriously, but the answer is beyond his expectations, and he makes a dumbfounded face. Yeah, I know, I know. Why should he give Miu to Arashi if heâs weak? Was this thug an alien? I donât get the story. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou canât protect that girl, can you? Thatâs why I, the next head of the Count Takano family, am saying Iâll take him in.â
âI thought you were an idiot, a real idiot. â¦â¦ Itâs true, Iâm weak. But I want to protect Miu and my wife, and at least I wonât give them to you Arashi-san.â
My dadâs head hurts, and he presses his forehead. Thatâs right, this alien, his thought process is not made by humans. Maybe itâs made on Mars or something. Is he an octopus turned human?
The story was so stupid that everyone went quiet with a shudder, and for some reason, Arashi was the only one with a confident look.
Too stupid to be a party attraction or something, but I guess I can get away with it, this turn of events.
Maybe I can fool them if I make a hiihiiin or meemee sound. Is meemee sheepâs sound?
