I Became a Supporting Character in an N*R Manga

23 – Sayoko Mori’s stubbornness – 3

I reached into Sayoko’s bag hanging from the chair. She took her phone from the inside and unlocked her. It was a number she had spied on one day pretending to do paperwork silently in her stale room.

“……… It’s blatant.”

What I wanted to see wasn’t Sayoko’s private life. It was a text message.

A conversation I had with Sakai this morning. He said that he wanted to apologize and was asking for a meeting very seriously.

However, it is too obvious to me.

In a place far away from school… Late at night. I’ll buy the drinks, so I promise to meet you.

“I am….”

So, is it today?

I also needed to prepare my mind.

Yesterday I tried to drag him to the motel, but he failed.

The reason why they took action the next day was probably because they knew Sayoko was weak.

In a word, it means that only women who look easy are chosen.

Limited to female students with a weak mentality who seem easy to penetrate.

Sayoko is the vice-captain of the track and field club, and she has a confident and tough personality, but she has recently realized that she is not.

While I was in a mixed mood while looking at the conversation history, I heard a clearing of my throat over the stale room. She was startled and she quickly put her phone back in her bag.

The door opened and it was Sayoko who entered.

“Ah… senior?”

“I-I forgot something too!”

“Then you could have me do it….”

“……… ….”

Really. You were surprised.

My heart is pounding. Didn’t you see what I just looked like?

I put my cell phone away, and I put the wiretap on.

She did her job, so she was about to leave the club.

He opened the door to the room with a proper greeting.

“Wait a minute… !”

“Yes?”

Sayoko turned to me and said.

“……… Ah… that is….”

Her eyes met, but Sayoko hung her head and hesitated.

What is it?

There’s no way you’re mumbling like this if you’ve just been caught.

Looks like you have other business.

“……… ….”

I was speechless and hesitated.

Looking at Sayoko like that, I remembered what I had to do today. To catch the evidence of the soccer club’s crime… She had no choice but to use her as her bait.

If her goal is to protect her Sayoko from them, then she just needs to keep her out of her way. However, that was not my purpose.

Because I wanted to eradicate them completely. They had to directly leave evidence of what they were doing to Sayoko.

In other words, Sayoko has to be defeated by them to some extent.

That could have been traumatic.

No, it will work.

“…… Mori senior.”

“Huh?”

“I’m sorry.”

This was an apology from that kind of heart.

Feeling guilty.

As expected, Sayoko shouted in bewilderment. She suddenly panics, asking what an apology it is.

I couldn’t be honest about it, so I recited another excuse. It was an excuse that came to her mind at the moment, but even with that, Sayoko panicked and rolled her eyes.

That’s interesting. To be so restless.

I was confident that I knew a little about Sayoko Mori, so now I have peace of mind with her.

“Then… I’ll go first!”

Even if I said that, I was surprised to think I’d been caught a while ago.

In case I got caught by the tail, I ran out of the room.

I wanted to solve it by myself, but I already had an accomplice.

I told you to prove it. Myself.

I didn’t really want to do that.

After practice, I called Takase to the rooftop separately.

***

“…… Is that really it?”

“Yes, maybe today.”

She was seldom incredulous, but she never got angry with me or demanded a lengthy explanation. With actions rather than words. It was because he followed me to the trail and watched me just to prove it.

It’s a bit of a burden, but I can’t help it.

I know the place by the time.

We left school earlier than usual and went to the cafe where Sayoko and Sakai were supposed to meet. No one seems to have arrived two hours ago.

“……… Senior.”

“Huh?”

“Let go of your expression.”

Because I’m scared.

All the way from school to here, Takase-senpai was silent. His expression was as blunt as usual, but should I say that the aura he felt was different?

The specific criminal behavior of the soccer team, and it is probably today that it will be executed. From the moment I heard it, the spirit that I felt from the senior approached me differently.

Should I say that I hesitate to talk to you?

“I am as usual. I’m not particularly angry right now.”

Is it ‘now’? So, are you going to be angry soon?

I entered a nearby convenience store and watched the cafe through the glass. Sakai arrived first. She sits down and she orders a drink and she is on the phone.

“…… I can’t believe it. It really could happen.”

Takase muttered calmly, but I didn’t even answer. Because if you see it, you’ll know.

“……… Manager group. That….”

I raised my head.

At the end of my field of vision was Sakai, who was looking at the surroundings, opened a medicine bag, and poured it into a drink.

“………… Manager group. What are you going to do from now on?”

“I will wait for Mori-senpai to come.”

“After waiting?”

“We’ll have to see.”

“……… ….”

I can feel Takase’s gaze. I knew what that meant, but I said quietly.

“You told me. Prove yourself.”

“……… ….”

“Please trust me and just watch.”

“………… I get it.”

The tail of Takase’s words trembled subtly as he answered.

Then, when I arrived at the cafe and saw Sayoko sitting down, I took out her earphones from her pocket.

One side is in my ear. The other side reached out to the senior.

“……… Hmm.”

Because he was a tall senior, the earphones that were split are somewhat stretched.

I took a step and stood right next to the senior.

We quietly overheard their conversation.

Takase-senpai didn’t say whether he was focused or not, and I focused on their trends.

It was quite late, and they came out of the cafe.

I grabbed Takase-senpai’s wrist as he was about to leave.

As I silently shook my head, the senior bit her lip but quietly stood next to me.

“……… That…… What kind of medicine?”

“I don’t know. I think it’s probably the same as a day or a time.”

The girl avoided and Sayoko drank.

On a dark street, Sayoko was caught by Sakai as if she was drunk.

At that moment, she was afraid of Takase-senpai who opened her eyes, but she shook her head nonetheless as she squeezed her wrists.

“……… Manager.”

“Senior, no way. Now.”

When I said it as if pleading, the senior barely endured it. At this point, I felt like I was the owner of the leash of the fierce dog named Takase.

Actually, my heart was pounding too. That’s right, I just ran a lot of simulations in my head. It’s actually the first time it’s actually happened.

After making sure they were gone, we went inside the cafe.

“With this… This is it.”

I lifted the glass left on the table.

Strawberry Latte had half of it left.

I had asked the cafe staff for their understanding in advance, so I took it and left the cafe.

“…… Do you know where Sakai’s house is?”

“Yes, I saw it in advance in the office.”

If you don’t know that, you’re talking nonsense.

After talking on the phone beforehand, I entered the apartment with Takase.

The senior in her elevator remained silent with her head lowered.

Are you angry or nervous about this situation? Probably both

Because it was the same for me too.

“…… Senior.”

“Yes.”

“If you have to… Please protect me.”

She turned her head and looked at me.

It was half a joke. He smiled bitterly at her and met her eyes.

“Leave it to me.”

No, it was a joke to lighten the stiff atmosphere.

Of course, I was only half sincere.

That’s too scary.

A group of people who attack female students by drugging them. ‘Cause I don’t know what to do

I got off the elevator and rang the doorbell.

The doorbell is quite loud, so I thought it would definitely respond.

I couldn’t wait and Takase kicked the door.

Bang bang bang.

A roar is heard. To the extent that I can’t get out without coming out.

The person who opened the door was not Sakai. She is a member of the same soccer club. It was familiar to me.

“…… Hello.”

First of all, I greeted them kindly.

You can’t spit on a smiling face.

“What, you guys?”

As soon as I opened the door, I asked the man who was already angry.

“Is Mori-senpai inside?”

“…… What is it?”

That was the time. The moment the man’s expression changes and he hurriedly closes the front door.

“Manager-kun. Get out of the way.”

It was Takase-senpai who stepped forward.

He jumped right in and swung his fist at the man.

It was only a single blow, but the man flew far away and crashed into the wall as if he had swung a fist. A commotion ensues. By this time, everyone in the house would have noticed.

“…… Come on, show me. Manager.”

“Yes.”

Let’s be brave. Deep breath, deep breath.

First, I went into the house and opened the door to the bedroom that was tightly closed.

Fortunately, it wasn’t locked.

As expected, Sakai and the men from the soccer club were in the room.

I was paying attention to this side with my eyes wide open.

And on the bed….

“Ah, senior… ! Hello!”

To get rid of fear and tension, I deliberately say hello brightly.

There was no reaction at all.

Sayoko stared blankly at me with her trembling and teary face.

First of all, take a picture of them looking bewildered.

Leave it as continuous shooting as if it were a surprise entertainment reporter.

“Okay, with this I got all the evidence.”

Facing her terrified Sayoko made her heart ache.

Fortunately, the situation was before it happened.

“Everyone. I have already reported it, and the police will come soon.”

“You…… You… !”

“I would be grateful if you could wait patiently here.”

I explained the situation in a gentle way, and I thought that if I had a brain to think about it, I would calm down quickly.

Well, if a normal accident were possible, I wouldn’t have committed such a thing.

“Rain… Get out of the way!!”

One of the men picked up a potted plant from the tabletop and lunged at me.

“Mi, Minsu… !”

No, I’m not confident in hand-to-hand combat.

I staggered back and closed my eyes. At this rate, being hit by a blunt weapon and knocking down was a certainty.

“Manager, good job.”

Sayoko’s scream echoes with the sound of breaking pots. Fortunately my head didn’t break.

“Ugh……… Cuckoo.”

I couldn’t even see Takase-senpai, who grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me to the other side, rushed in quickly after the flower pot was broken, and put a fist into his abdomen.

As if you’ve done it often. The men backed away in awe at Takase, who clenched his fists and made a crunching noise as if he was used to it.

“Other… Takase… ! Help me!”

“Wrong! I will never do that again!”

There must be someone else to ask for an apology.

Standing behind me, I was dumbfounded, but I was more concerned about the senior’s unresponsiveness. Despite the majority, the latter is clearly intimidated.

The sight I saw after that was that my body was completely drained of energy to the point where I laughed out loud.

Takase approached without hesitation and hit the man closest to him, sending him flying to the wall and stamping the man’s back as he lay down. The man rushed in with a terrified scream and strangled him, knocking him out.

“Ah… ! Ugh… !”

The senior standing in front of Sakai, who was terrified as he watched the members collapse in front of him, looked back at me.

“Manager.”

“…… Yes?”

“I leave the last to you.”

“……… ….”

“Because it’s the version you made.”

No… I’m not confident in violence.

Being hit or hitting.

Actually, we waited until the police arrived and tried to rush in together.

Because of Eri Takase’s presence, the strategy has changed a bit.

It will take a while before the police arrive.

Takase Eri can’t stand Sayoko being harmed even a little bit.

In that case, it should have been stopped before then.

First I went in and took a photo to leave a perfect proof.

The fact that I was able to rush into the house alone, mindful of the misfortune that happened just before when I picked up a flower pot and rushed at me.

“There is no burden.”

“……… ….”

“Because you can solve it your way.”

It was because of the belief that Eri Takase would protect me.

I heard from track and field members.

She has already built a legend since middle school.

She said it wasn’t just her performance as a track and field athlete that made her famous.

When she asked about the trigger, Takase said she hated it, but she didn’t mention it because she heard it.

“…… Then I will give it a try.”

What can I do? She hadn’t even thought of this.

She held up the coffee cup that had been set on her floor for a moment.

Something I just brought from the cafe.

I kept it for proof, but you can just leave the drugged strawberry latte.

She slowly approached Sakai, who was terrified and crouched down on the spot.

“……… Why don’t you do something like this next time?”

I opened the lid and poured the coffee over his head.

Black liquid drips down Sakai’s forehead, who is devastated.

“What… Although I wonder if there will be a next one.”

Because this is far beyond the level of juvenile delinquents.

No matter what the legal outcome is, their lives are already over before that. I left a lot of evidence, and I was able to bury them more clearly than vague rumors. Socially.

“……… Whoops.”

I looked back at Takase-senpai, who smiled.

“You are really cool and calm at all times.”

“No, to be honest, I was really scared.”

Looking calm was just pretending to be desperate.

When she turned around, she saw Sayoko looking this way with trembling eyes.

“…… Mori senior. Are you okay?”

His hair is wet with sweat and his face is red. Seeing that face, I felt apologetic as expected, so my voice softened without even realizing it.

“I’m sorry. Was I very late?”

He took out her handkerchief and wiped her forehead, looking at her worriedly.

This and that were all actions out of regret.

“……… Senior?”

Unexpectedly, both of her eyes were tearing up.

All the bad things are over.

“……… Meahae….”

“Yes?”

Sayoko muttered something incomprehensible in a crying voice, and soon burst into tears.

“……… Sorry… ! aaang!”

Ah, sorry.

As expected, it must have been stabbed in the heart.

“Manager Goo Woo-woon… ! Mia… ! I’m sorry!”

“…… No… I am.”

But it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a grown woman cry like this.

Bewildered not knowing what to do, I continued to pat her on the back.
