I Became a Supporting Character in an N*R Manga

11 – A mistreated manager and a troubled prince

Takase Eri opened the door to the clubhouse. When she sees her figure, the members inside her come over and say hello. After that, I came in and stood awkwardly next to him. The eyes of the members were fixed on me.

What is he? Eyes that seem to observe or stare.

“I decided to become the manager of our department starting today….”

Eri Takase finished her introduction and she glanced at me. Is she asking for a self-introduction?

Let’s not be scared. Here is the spirit.

Looking at a man entering a women’s bath was pouring in, but I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.

“This is Kim Min-soo from class 2-a. I look forward to.”

I lowered my head.

Sincerely raising my head and looking at the reaction, the answer is silent. Members are rolling their eyes or whispering among themselves as if trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

“That’s it. Don’t be too burdened, and if you have something to ask for, feel free to leave it to me. Because I said I would do anything.”

Takase pats me on the shoulder while giving an additional explanation. I didn’t even say anything. The members don’t know, but the burden is on my shoulders.

“Wait a minute… ! Eri, what are you doing now?”

The member who was sitting in his seat stood up. Judging by the fact that he is wearing a gym uniform with a navy blue line, he is in the same 3rd year as Eri. He was a strong-looking senior with a short brown ponytail and taller than Takase.

“What are you doing? I just introduced you to the manager.”

“You’re not asking that! Bringing in a male student you don’t even know and being the manager… Without consultation!”

I got up from her seat and she quickly approached me. When her eyes met, she glanced this way. Musher.

“No. I can’t admit it, so send it back quickly.”

“…… I’ve already submitted a member application. It’s officially recognized, so I can’t bite you.”

“So selfish… !?”

She stood right in front of Takase and protested loudly. To be able to do that to the captain, Eri Takase… She must be in the same position.

She came as her manager after receiving a special selection from her captain, but the reaction of her third-year senior is not good, and the rest of her team members are also giving lukewarm eyes.

This… I expected it, but it won’t be easy.

“Sayoko. You said you would take care of the hiring of the manager.”

“So… ! Suddenly, a child I’ve never heard of… !”

“What have you been up to?”

When Takase asked, the senpai called Sayoko bit her lip.

“That, that… ! Because she doesn’t have any kids to support her… !”

“I didn’t even see the recruitment notice?”

“That’s not something you can always pay for! You have to get permission from the student department!”

“So? What have you been up to?”

“Even if I personally ask… I mean, I even went through an interview with them! However… ….”

Sayoko muttered as she turned her head. Her voice got smaller and smaller.

“Where did everyone hear this from? Even if they said they would do it at first, everyone ran away later….”

The reason the manager is not saved. The person who caused the rumor was not in this club right now.

“That’s why I got it. What… Don’t worry too much.”

Takase smiled lightly and patted Sayoko on the shoulder as if to encourage her.

“If something goes wrong, I will take responsibility. Don’t worry, just ask the manager to take over.”

Even though the captain had said that she would take responsibility if there was a problem, Sayoko frowned.

“Then… Because I have to come out tomorrow… Aoi.”

“Ah, four… !”

“Teach juniors how to do manager work. Please.”

“Yes!”

A short-haired female student named Aoi stood up.

The other side of her was me and her classmate, judging by her gym uniform with black stripes on it.

Takase, who entrusted me to Aoi, left the clubhouse that way.

All that was left was me and the female students in the club room.

“…………….”

No, if only I was left alone in this atmosphere.

The members’ lukewarm, curious, or cold gazes are pierced.

“Ah… Come this way.”

Aoi gestures to me.

Aoi took out her file from the drawer in her corner and showed it to me, trying to explain.

“Wait… you.”

The Aoi stopped her hand from flipping through her paper. Sayoko’s one word froze the air in the room. I don’t know, but that senior should be careful… After wrapping the string of tension tightly, I smiled and raised my head.

Let’s laugh for now. You won’t be able to spit on a smiling face.

“Did you say class 2-a?”

“……… Yes.”

“Minsu Kim?”

“……… ….”

Should I apply for a name change even now?

While I was seriously thinking about it, I realized anew that I wasn’t blaming myself for my name.

“Then you tell Sakai-kun… ….”

Oh, my God.

Sayoko’s expression, which had always been disapproving of me, became more savage.

That’s the rumor.

I can’t take it off if I say no. Because that’s actually what i did Sayoko walks towards me with her steps. Aoi stood in front of him.

“Oh, sleep, wait… ! Calm down, vice-captain. Because now I have to deliver the manager duties! Excuse me… !”

I was scared when a third year senior who was as tall as Takase approached. It was fortunate that Aoi blocked his way. Needless to say, if you fight, you will lose. If you get caught, you will be beaten to death.

“……… Sheesh… !”

Sayoko clicks her tongue and turns her body around. As she was about to leave her room, she glanced back at me and said,

“You… I’ll wait and see. It would be better to leave now, please.”

The door slams shut with a bang.

Even though the captain and vice-captain had left, the air in the room was frozen.

Oops… That the ceremony was properly performed once.

“Ah…… hahahaha… that… don’t worry too much that… Even if you say that, Sayoko-senpai is a very kind person! That… huh.”

As if trying to somehow mediate the chilly atmosphere, Aoi vigorously waved his hand and said, but nothing changed. This… My bone hurts.

After rubbing her forehead for a moment, I saw Aoi who raised her head.

“…… That… Please take good care of me. Can I call you comfortably?”

“Yes. I am Aoi Haru. Please take good care of me.”

I was lucky to have the only member who treated me kindly even in such a chilly atmosphere. I was a little afraid of the future, but I spent the day listening to Aoi explain her manager job.

***

– Really~! It’s too much! Disappear without a word! Not even answering the phone! –

As I was replying to the text message from Haruna, I was deep in thought.

I tried to guess who the track and field team member Sakai and the others had said was their next target.

Not Takase… Always sticking by his side… A female student who said she likes Sakai.

She has little information now, but if she is someone who always sticks with the captain, Takase, she might be the vice-captain.

When she heard that I was the main character of the rumor, she glared at me with even more savage eyes.

Even if Sakai doesn’t have any feelings for her, she deserves to be wary enough if I’m the main character of the rumor. Even if she was stamped, it was firmly stamped. She sighed and pondered what to do next.

– By the way… Why did you suddenly join the athletics team? –

I was typing a reply and stopped.

There’s no need to be honest.

– I got an offer from my advisor. If you are so interested in track and field, would you give it a try? –

– Is that why you were snapped? Minsu is so strange. –

– Is it strange that I do club activities? –

– It’s too sudden. Were you interested in athletics? –

– Yes, what…. –

– Ahahahaha… I’ll cheer you on. It’s dissatisfying that Minsu is busy with club activities. –

I’m sorry about that.

It wasn’t long before she became a lover. Because she’s going to have less time to spend together.

I was immersed in her thoughts and told her what I had been thinking about all along her way home from school.

– Can we keep our relationship a secret for the time being? –

I got a reply in 10 seconds to any text message. This time it doesn’t come for 5 minutes. I quickly added an explanation.

– You heard that earlier. There is also that rumor. I want to keep quiet until I explain. –

– I don’t want to harm Haruna by dating me. –

– I mean it. If it’s quiet, you can reveal it confidently. –

It was all the result of twisting the story.

I fell in love with Haruna, and Sakai, who had an unfortunate accident, spread bad rumors about me.

You don’t know what will happen if the story is twisted more than this. I didn’t want to do anything that would adversely affect Haruna.

– Haruna. Are you watching –

– Yes…. –

– I’m sorry. Have a little patience. –

-To make her girlfriend wait right after dating. Minsu is such a bad man –

With that reply, an angry emoticon comes flying.

Kuh…. She held her breath, but as she was writing an apologetic sentence again, her text message arrived.

– Okay. I’ll wait But shouldn’t it be left unattended for too long? –

– Neglect… I see it every day in the classroom. –

– If you don’t pay attention, you’ll get angry. –

– What happens if you get angry? –

– I’m going to bite you. –

That’s kind of scary.

Okay. You can’t leave it unattended after making Haruna “Wait” Forever. Nara also wanted to resolve this rumor quickly.

– But if it’s the track and field team… It’ll be a little easier –

– Why? –

– Because Eri has an older sister. –

Yes, but.

Although not as much as the vice-captain, Eri Takase didn’t seem to trust me that much either.

In fact, he even said ‘I don’t believe in you’ directly in front of his face.

– Sister… It was a sight that liked you. –

– Me? Why? –

I remember there was no moment where I showed my cool side.

– They said you could tell by looking into the eyes –

That was a phrase I remember hearing somewhere.

‘You can tell by looking into their eyes. That you’re not a bad kid.’

That day, at the back of the campus, Eri Takase grabbed my wrist and stared at me right in front of me.

– Fighting! Minsu will do well! –

While I was thinking about the image of Eri Takase, I received a message of support from Haruna.

– Don’t expect too much. –

– Getting discouraged…. Can’t you stand out as boldly as you did back then? –

– That time. –

– Just like when you saved me from men talking to you –

Are you talking about a date with Yuuki?

That was a desperate measure to stop ntr somehow. I hope that may have been the trigger.

– Minsu at that time was cool. He was like a hero! –

– Yes… I know, so go to sleep. –

– Too much! I want to text more! –

Yeah, after all, the trigger for my action was to prevent Haruna from being tricked by another man.

In other words, to avoid misfortune. It was in the same context that I joined the track and field team now. It doesn’t come out as recklessly as it did back then. Now, to the evidence of the transcript… There are even conjectures that fit the circumstances.

Now, I was able to safely connect Takase Eri with Yuuki. I was so sure
