Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem
Chapter 94.2. Senaâs Request
-Masatoshiâs POV-
âBy the way, can I order some more? I can still eat more.â
âOh? Yeah, do what you want. Iâll buy you everything. Just be quiet.â
âYay! I can order as much as I want! Iâm going to ask for everything!
âYoung master is the best!â
âIâm a hot cake!â
âIâll have all the toppings!â
The kids around us cheered and started to order without hesitation. They are all dressed in old clothes full of snags, just like Mion, and look like poor people. Of course, the children are all friends from the same orphanage Mion.
âPhew, Masatoshi, you are very kind.â
âWell, with these guys, I donât have any trouble playing with the common people. I think I have more than half the directions to the food shop.â
Sena funnily smiles at Masatoshi as he sits back down in his chair.
As for why Mion and the others are here, the story goes back a while. After the party was over, Sena called me on the phone. She asked for a favor.
Itâs a direct call from the heroine, Sena. He felt like a fan who suddenly received a phone call from his idol. When I asked her to tell me anything he wanted to know, she bit down on her phone and said she had a favor to ask.
âI want to enjoy the common peopleâs games, but I need a knowledgeable Masatoshi-san to teach me.â
âOf course. I also study the lives of the common people, so leave it to me.â
He slapped his chest with a thump and answered confidently. In his previous life, he was a commoner. He should be able to guide her easily without doing any research.
And so, although there were guards in the shadows, they were to have a series of secret dates. His father, Enraku, also sent him off with a smile and a laugh, telling him to have fun.
A secret date since childhood. It was the best. He thought it was the best. He realized he liked the modern fantasy world with magic when he tried to guide her with confidence. It was indirectly related to magic.
It is what it is. There are chain stores, but there are also many individual stores. They are skilled in using magic and can create original food in even a single food item. A juice that floats as a sphere in a weightless state using a magic tag, or a mysterious ice cream that is hot inside.
Even products are unique to each store. And then there is the play with magic. A product like bacon that not metaphorically sparks, but sparks, or karuta that flies in the sky instead of on tatami mats. In his previous life, many private stores were closed, and some games became obsolete due to the diversification of games. And with magical powers.
Masatoshi, who was helpless with his memories of his previous life and panicked about what to do in the cringing and commonerâs district, happened to find Mion, who was passing by by chance and bribed her to guide him.
Masatoshi had been using Mion as his guide on subsequent dates. He was afraid that Sena might not like it, even though it was a date, but he was relieved when she smiled at him, saying that it was natural to hire a servant and that she did not mind. For high-ranking nobles, servants must be like air.
.
Mion is unreservedly adding more and more people to their ranks, but for Masatoshi, there is no problem. Itâs a fraction of the money. It doesnât matter as long as they donât get in his way with Sena.
He looks at Mion, who smiles and asks for the menu from one end of the table to the other, then shrugs and turns to Sena. Mion notices Masatoshiâs gaze and winks at him with a nihihi, but he doesnât care about the mob. Theyâre no match for the heroine.
âMasatoshi-san, you are well-liked, arenât you?â
âNo, these guys are just my hire. Theyâre like pariahs who flock to money.â
âI think itâs also a skill to gather them with money. I respect you so much. I have a favor to ask such a well-liked Masatoshi-san.â
He put the iron on the table, and fidgeting, Sena intertwines her fingers and looked shyly up at me. Masatoshi doesnât have the word ârefusalâ for the cuteness that comes to her chest.
âPlease say anything. Iâll do anything for Sena-san, okay?â
âThank you. I thought Masatohi-san would say so. You see, my father told me itâs time to make a friend.â
âYou have me. Besides, you have many friends, donât you, Sena-san?â
Sena is a popular person. In addition to her soft smile and soothing, gentle personality, sheâs a princess. Although sheâs in a different school now, she must have been popular even in elementary school. Even in the original story, she was described as being popular for a long time. So, why is she making friends now? Masatoshi wonders, but Sena begins to tell him what she means.
