A Mob Character Surrounded by Main Characters Wants to be MC EPISODE 15 - Manipulating and Acting
6:00 PMWe were back in our home with Mieko. All three of us stood in front of the door. I opened the door.Taketa greeted us, "Ah, welcome back, Takayuki-s-"However, he didn't expect me to be with them. We were met with awkward silence.OH HELL NO!Mieko tapped my left shoulder. She whispered in my ear, "I can tell what you're thinking, just do it for the pictures," she instructed me.I sighed."Fine."Nakatani went inside.Might as well celebrate, so I guess its fine. "Did you wait long, Taketa-kun?" she asked."Oh, no no no, I feel fine, don't worry, Nakatani-san.""No! I accidentally called her by her first name! Who am I to call such a beauty with her first name?" he thought.Note: They agreed to not call each other by their first names (refer to Chapter 6) because they thought it would be too embarrassing.She blushed."AHHH, S-S-SORRY TAKAYUKI-SAN! I DIDN'T MEAN TO!" he panicked."D-Don't worry, its fine if it's you."I feel the aura of romance, it's sickening.Mieko made a
A Mob Character Surrounded by Main Characters Wants to be MC EPISODE 16 - Blackmailing to Rush Progress
I talked over with Mieko last Friday about what I would like to replace my reward with, and unsurprisingly, she agreed to help.…...May 10, 20XX8:00 PMI was seated in class.I know that I've already been considered a side character of the Slice-of-Life Boys, but, this has dragged on for too long. Alright, plan... Commence!…...12:00 NN, LunchtimeRing. Ring.The bell rang.I need to separate them in order for the others not to know my intentions."Also for them not to back each other up during the process of my plan."What should I do? They're literally like glue who stick to each other almost every time. "Should I try it? I probably should. How do I activate it though?"I should take advantage of the genres I've been involved with. I'll go visit Okada-sensei a bit.…...I went to the science lab."I haven't visited the science lab for a while now..."Golden Week scarred me... "I'll just borrow a few of their protagonist powers."I went to the door and opened it. I was gre
A Mob Character Surrounded by Main Characters Wants to be MC EPISODE 17 - The 5 Slice-of-Life Protagonists
May 11, 20XX8:03 AMI was inside the classroom.Thanks, Mieko! Because of you, I have attained my goal of being a Slice-of-Life Protagonist. "What a lovely day! Starting today, I am a Slice-of-Life Protagonist."I peered over to the 4th row, 4th column, where Arata sat. He glared back at me with angry and vengeful eyes.My turn, weakling. I put on my best smug face, with a tongue stuck out to add insult to injury.He was enraged."WHY YOU LITTLE-"I showed my phone and his expression immediately changed to a smiling face.Serves you right.…...12:05 NNRing. Ring.The school bell rang.Ishimoto stood up from his seat and approached me."You're with the gang now, right? Follow us to the cafeteria for lunch."I was overjoyed. My face was lit up.…...All five of us met up at the door and headed to the cafeteria. We all sat a long rectangular table.Hara stood up and cleared his throat."AND HERE WE WELCOME TO OUR GROUP, THE NEWEST MEMBER... uh... HIS NAME IS..."Why did he pause
A Mob Character Surrounded by Main Characters Wants to be MC EPISODE 18 - Character Development
May 12, 20XX8:09 AMI've been getting along fine with the protagonists thus far. I've been making considerable progress."But Slice-of-Life isn't usually meant to progress but only to make laugh, relate, and develop characters. I can't have that. I need to force character progression. But how?"…...12:00 NN, LunchtimeRing. Ring.The school bell rang.All five of us protagonists head outside of the classroom.Hara sighed while walking in the hallway."The cafeteria's kinda boring... I have an idea!""Let's hear it," Arata replied."Let's go to the rooftop!""But isn't the rooftop prohibited to be entered by students?" Yoshida questioned."Quiet," Ishimoto replied.While they argued, I was thinking.Hara looked all around to confirm that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation. Next, he whispered, "That's exactly why. There are no people there, so it's perfect.""But what if we get caught?" Arata queried."We won't," Hara insisted."Sounds sketchy. Let's do it," Yoshida resp

May 19, 20XX12:03 PM, LunchtimeWe were having a normal lunch by the rooftop again.Ishimoto had his curry rice, Arata had sushi, Yoshida had sashimi, Hara had nigirizushi, and I had my onigiri."Ishimoto, can I have some of your curry?" Hara requested."Uhhh," Ishimoto hesitated."Oh come on, Hara. You have your own lunch!" Arata grunted."Sharing is caring," Yoshida explained."More like robbing in this case," I commented.All of a sudden we heard chuckling."What was that?" I asked.We looked everywhere and saw 4 girls from our class. They were eating their own lunches on the opposite side.One of them took a sushi from another."M-My sushi!"Note: Yuka Konishi, 3rd row, 5th column."Hehe, finders keepers."Note: Ran Tanimoto, 1st row, 2nd column."Hm…"Note: Rin Goda, 3rd row, 5th column."Oi, why'd you have to do that to our sweet little cupcake, Ran-san?Note: Mari Chinen, 5th row, 5th column. Together, they are the Slice-of-Life Girls!"What is the meaning of this?!" Yoshida y
A Mob Character Surrounded by Main Characters Wants to be MC EPISODE 20 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 2)
I was back in class along with the others.Now, don't get me wrong, it might seem like I did not get any character development, but I do indeed care about my Slice-of-Life group and its members. While 90% of it is in my self-interest, the rest is because I want us to progress.I stared at each of the members of the Slice-of-Life Girls group.I never knew these people also came from my class. That makes it all the more outrageous. What kind of war are we getting into?I analyzed each of them, starting with Yuka.Yuka Konishi, defining features, her pale skin, her small stature, and her blue hair. Must be an innocent figure in the group.Next, I had Ran.Ran Tanimoto, defining features, nothing much, aside from the purple hair. Her actions seem hyper, so she must be bubbly, eccentric, and might possibly be the leader judging from how she took the initiative earlier.Then Rin.Rin Goda, defining features, absolutely none, black hair which is normal.She yawned and slept in class.Her aur

The two idiots continued their nonsensical play.I don't even think they know what they fought in the first place.Hara played something of what could be interpreted as a…"Circle? What's that gonna do? Exist in the third dimension?" Arata mocked."This is not a circle! This is a boulder.""Boulder? Don't we have rock already?""A boulder is like a rock, but bigger! Look at yours! Is that supposed to be another iteration of paper?"Arata simply played his hand wide open but like he's begging."For the record, this is money. Money buys everything and what's that boulder gonna buy you? A dead body?""How is money gonna win against my boulder? My boulder is just gonna crush it to pieces.""Okay, let's think of it this way, money is paper and boulder is rock, therefore I win.""In what planet does a paper destroy rock?""Uh, in a game of rock-paper-scissors. Besides, why are you questioning the logic of rock-paper-scissors?!""Because it's nonsensical!"You do not have the right to tell h
A Mob Character Surrounded by Main Characters Wants to be MC EPISODE 22 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 4)
May 20, 20XX 8:07 AM We were sitting at our places. What happened yesterday? What was that pitiful display? Was it my fault? Was it our fault? I shook my head out of frustration and slapped my cheeks. No! It isn't! All those clues… Those subtle jabs at me. I'm sure of it. This is another trial given by the Author. I sighed. This was obvious from the beginning. Why did I not expect such? I stared at the teacher explaining Venn diagrams although I wasn't listening. What should I do? I tapped my head continuously. Then I had an idea. Hold on. What is the Author trying to show here? That boys only have comedy while girls have comedy and moe. Of course, it is obvious that if I make the two groups fight with those assets, obviously, the boys are going to lose. So all I have to do is to set a game in which we do not fight against such unfair odds. I banged my desk. I am such a genius! Although, all that leaves is the question of what game or challenge will provide us with a winni

Update on the Series
Guys, I really apologize for not updating for so long. My parents do not allow me to write, and it's a lot harder especially since I'm in high school, so I have to focus a bit more on my studies. However, that doesn't mean I'm abandoning this series or the other, it's just on hold. Please do expect an update somewhere around summer, perhaps June or July? Around those dates. Please continue to follow my series and follow my twitter if you can. You can simply search my author name and it pops up. Thank you for understanding! And that is all for now! Might drop a special chapter soon, a special, "might".

5:21 PMI was on a call with Arata."WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T GIVE HER THE POTION?!" I retaliated."Sorry, Kibe. I really am.""THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE HER THE FREAKING LOVE POTION?!""Kibe, don't you think trying to court her for a single rooftop is already foolish? More so with the love potion… even we have a line to draw.""DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY THINGS I HAD TO DO FOR THAT POTION?!"Aside from persuasion, I technically haven't done anything for that potion, but 'will'."I deeply apologize for my selfish actions."I sat on my bed morosely contemplating. I rubbed my fingers on my forehead.This is what I get for trusting other people… no, this isn't the time I should be doubting my accomplices. I know his progress is doing relatively fast but perhaps a week may have been pushing it to the limit."Fine, we'll have to start the challenges now," I declared."Even without you?""We have to move things somewhere. I can't keep waiting here, so inform the rest of them tomorrow or even me

EPISODE 33 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 14)
The background became an eyesore once more because of the oversaturated colors. I decided to look down at the floor as I passed through the class to avoid seeing these painful colors, as well as avoid meeting anyone's gaze, as failure to do so, will give my own classmates a dinner known as me. To ease my hand, I tucked my phone into my shorts' left pocket.I took a short glance at the critters that I once recognized as my classmates. Their gazes shot everywhere. Their breathing was erratic. Most importantly… their faces were hungry, not for food, mind you. Even our teacher was losing control, he wasn't even teaching. He just sat silently.Everyone must still be short-circuiting from the sudden transition.I decided to ignore the scenery before me and tried to find Okada.I tried to find her everywhere but she just wasn't there. I turned around to see that she was the very first person to the door I just entered.Bro… Did I really just miss her because I looked down?I sighed in disapp

"But how will I do that?" I asked myself, "Do I bribe Okada again?"If so, what can I even offer to her? I owe her for last time and hadn't even repaid her yet.I crossed my fingers."Got nothing else to do other than hope."I stood up and walked in circles."However, there is another problem that arises... I am supposed to be phoned in sick and since Okada is in the same class as I am... there is a high chance that I get spotted if I get close to her."Should I make use of the Overruling Statement again? But then again, a Slice-of-Life Protagonist regardless of gender has broad application over various genres and is included in almost all. Even if their role was diminished even for a slight second, they would remain a side character which only takes away their ability and frequency to interact but does not change their personality in any way."What I'm saying is if they see me, they're not going to forget it."Then should I ask Mieko once more for help?I scratched my head at the ide

We went down to the first floor where we took a break from the intense confrontation. "I can't believe that actually worked," Yoshida said in disbelief. "What did I tell you?" I responded in a smug manner. Arata went down the escalator and approached us. "Arata! Our hero and savior," Hara chanted. "Why didn't any of you pick up your phones?" Arata asked. "There was no signal here," I answered. I checked my phone only to see that there was now a signal. "There's a signal right there," Arata pointed out. "Look, I'm not lying. It just happens that there is one right now. Why don't we set aside all this for now and call it a day?" "Hmm, I guess..." "Hey, what about the subjugation plan? The plan to conquer Mari? Whatever happened to your progress? Inform us." "Things are... progressing. I was able to exchange messages with her since she accepted my friend request just earlier." I was baffled. I was overjoyed. I did not expect my seeds of progress to be growing at such a rapid

We went up the escalators and up to the 4th floor where the arcade was located."Woah…" Yoshida said in awe."Games!" Ishimoto said in a slightly higher yet still monotonous tone."Here. Now you guys go crazy," I told them."Woohoo!" they all cheered.We all went inside the arcade.…...The girls exited the clothing store. All of them held paper bags of varying pastel colors."That was great!" Ran cheered."It could've been much better if you hadn't kept pestering me," Mari told her."Why don't you just go ahead and tell us who the lucky guy is?" Rin insisted."For the last time… I never said it was a guy!""You wouldn't be as reluctant to share if it was a girl. C'mon just tell us, what's there to be shy about? Unless…"Ran gasped, "IT'S A BOYFRIEND! IT HAS TO BE!"Mari turned red out of embarrassment, "WHA?! STOP ASSUMING THINGS!"Yuka raised her arm, "Um…"They heard her and listened."Wh-What do we do next?""Good question," Rin answered."My energy is drained. How 'bout we go p

I and Yoshida were both gloomy.Ishimoto spoke, "You can borrow my money."Our eyes lit, "REALLY?!""Yeah, I've got enough money to support you two.""You're a lifesaver, Ishimoto," I praised."We'll definitely pay you back!"After all that was settled, Yoshida grabbed the menu and we took a peak. Minutes later, everyone sat back in their places."Alright, place your orders!" Hara yelled as he took out a piece of paper and pen and put it on the table.I started first and wrote down my order. It was passed down to Hara, then, Ishimoto, and finally, Yoshida.Ishimoto took out his money and stood up expecting to be the one to order.Yoshida held out his hand."No need, Ishimoto. I'll do it. It's the very least that I can do.""Okay."Ishimoto gave the money to Yoshida and then Yoshida headed to the counter to take out orders."Alright, I'll go straight to the point. We have to think of the next challenge," I declared, "But this time, please recommend challenges that are less luck-based."

EPISODE 28 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 9)
11:00 AM I was preparing my stuff. After I finished with that, I took a shower so that I wouldn't smell. I grabbed a towel and dried myself up. I went upstairs to my room and opened up my drawer. I scrolled through my countless clothes and uniforms hung on a wooden hanger. "Nope… Not this…" I finally stumbled upon a blue and white striped buttoned shirt. I wore short blue jeans and sprayed normal cologne instead of the manly cologne I save for special occasions. I went downstairs and grabbed my bag. From there, Nakatani caught the scent of my cologne. "Oh??? Onii-chan is getting all fancy and dressed up. Meeting a girl? A date perhaps?" she guessed. "Oh, I wish. But nothing special, just a hang-out with the boys." I say that but it's actually a multi-layered plan, specifically, to discuss the challenges with them, to eat a thing OTHER than curry, and to go out for a while. Sad to say that I'm becoming less and less of a shut-in because of them. After all of this, I'm gonna take
