I Became a Supporting Character in an N*R Manga

14 – A moving manager and a caring prince

To be honest, I knew the timing would come soon. Preparation for it in advance. After school, he is faithful to his club activities and acts freely in the classroom without being disturbed by anyone.

Not being disturbed by anyone doesn’t mean you’ve reached that high position… It was the other way around. Should I say it’s the feeling of not paying attention to beggars on the subway?

It was a bit nerve-wracking to hear the gossip and ridicule from the students behind my back, but now it’s rather nice.

No matter what I did in my seat, they didn’t pay attention.

So I pressed the wireless earphones in my ears firmly. Make it sound better.

Check the soccer team schedule for this month on your mobile phone.

As I did that, I could see that the story was slowly approaching. In the case of the soccer club, I called the irregulars, but Suda’s ulterior motive was in full swing.

The story of Chapter 1 has changed, but Chapter 2 is steadily approaching. Suda was keeping an eye on the students in the track and field club, while being wary of me suddenly joining as a manager.

If it wasn’t for me, it would have moved a little faster.

In that sense, this world… Should I say that the story is trying to follow the original flow steadily while being wary of me?

My role is to hinder that until the end.

I deliberately did not participate in the track and field activities after school.

That’s because I have to keep hiding and watching Suda’s movements.

He summoned Eri Takase to his private office today.

From far away, I overhear their conversation through a wiretap hidden in Suda’s office.

It was hard to find.

Eri Takase has been like that before, but from this point on, his mind starts to waver. Suda’s poor grades in the track and field team and Takase’s poor record were both true. She was trying harder. With her burden and her promise to get through on her shoulders, she runs, and she eventually collapses under the weight of it.

“Whoa… ….”

How to solve it.

I’ll think about that later.

First of all, we have to get in the way.

Because I am a troll.

As the students in his class say, he’s a gangster who approaches and acts psychotic if he doesn’t like someone.

With a smile, I stood in front of his office and opened the door wide.

Like a mother opening the door to her hikikomori son on a weekend morning. Suda, who was flirting with Takase in the dark and smelly classroom, looked at me in surprise.

“Hello sir! I’m here to clean!”

Yes, good intentions.

Stuck in such a dark classroom, that’s why he has such a personality. I started cleaning, not paying attention to the bewildered Suda and Takase staring blankly at me. I left it for a few days, and then I picked up the trash on the dirty desk and floor.

Suda tried to stop me, but the wide open window and the light and noise pouring in from the entrance to the teacher’s office lost momentum and made me quiet.

Okay, first sabotage successful.

When I turned my gaze, Takase was not in the teacher’s office before I knew it.

Are you back? Well, that’s a good thing for me.

“…… Well, sir. Let’s go back! Thank you for your hard work in track and field practice!”

“Keugh….”

Even though he came as a manager, Suda had to do the unfair job of cleaning the teachers’ room. He couldn’t get angry at me for shouting loudly and only bit his lip.

That’s why you want to ask. I’ve been busy the past few days, so I haven’t been able to come to clean up. Suda also took advantage of that period and summoned Takase. I was also looking for that time.

I packed my cleaning tools and left the classroom. When I turned around after closing the door

“……… Wow.”

She almost bumped into the person standing right next to her.

Eri Takase was there.

“…… Senior?”

“I didn’t participate in today’s practice.”

“Ah… sorry. That… I have career counseling.”

It was true that she called each student in turn after school to give career counseling. Although that was not my turn. After looking around like that, Takase could no longer question her and looked away from her.

“I see.”

“Yes… He, sorry for not contacting you earlier.”

“No. Your career path doesn’t matter.”

As if Takase understood my words, she turned around and headed for her track and field team. I also followed him. Somehow, it seemed odd.

He understood, but seemed angry.

It’s strange, there’s no way Takase would get angry over something like this.

She was the type to accept and understand as much as possible any deviations, opinions, or conflicts from her members if there was a legitimate reason. At the same time, she leads her crew with her charisma.

There was no particular reason why she was a respected captain.

“Manager-kun… Note that… What career are you thinking of?”

“Yes?”

But now something is strange.

A strange feeling that cannot be put into words. There was a strange hesitation in Takase’s voice.

“Consultation… Isn’t that what you came for?”

“Oh, yes. First of all, I want to go to college according to my grades. There is nothing in particular I want to do yet.”

“Weren’t you aiming for a sports-related major?”

“Ah… ….”

I see.

Because I begged so much to come in as the track and field manager and work hard.

Perhaps Takase misunderstood my career path as a sports agent.

“Yes… I’m thinking about that too….”

If that’s the case, just draw it roughly.

I have this and that in mind, but I am still thinking about it. Because everyone is like that when it comes to career.

“……… Eyes that lie.”

Takase glanced at me and said.

How do you know?

Should I wear sunglasses?

“There is nothing lacking no matter how much I worry about my career path. If it’s okay with me, I can join you in counseling.”

“…… Yes. Thank you.”

Since it was something she never thought of, she bewilderedly expresses her gratitude. It was because my head was full of solving the problems right in front of me before my career path.

“My words. Do you really understand what I mean?”

Eri Takase stopped abruptly and looked back at me.

“Yes? Course… Wasn’t that what you were talking about?”

“It means to take it easy on the manager’s job.”

Ah.

Nodded.

Has it been too bad lately?

“No matter how hard you work, your efforts will never be recognized elsewhere. Then, for your own future….”

“No.”

I’m sorry, but I cut off her afterwords while she was about to give a sermon.

“That is fine. Don’t worry too much about it.”

“You… ….”

Ah, I couldn’t believe I made you angry.

Her strange expression from before was felt again in her. I couldn’t tell what it was, but I could tell that it was paying attention to me.

“This is just… It’s something I do for my own pleasure. Because it has been acknowledged by others.”

I smiled at her as she spoke her sincerity despite her presumptuousness.

Yes.

What credit do I have for blocking the heroines’ NTR?

It would be nice if I could be admitted to the Department of Sunae at Romance University at least as a senior. I’ve never seen such a school even in comics.

This was just my complacency.

That day, I do it to heal my heart that was injured while watching that cartoon, and for my own satisfaction. There is no other pleasure than that.

“…… You… ….”

She licked her lips at me as if she was trying to say something, but she soon turned her head and moved on.

Following him, I added a further explanation.

“And I didn’t even try that hard. Something to tidy up.”

She stopped in front of her room and put her hand on her doorknob.

“…… Stupid guy.”

The expression on her face as she said that was invisible as her back was turned.

Are you still not understanding? She followed suit with a bitter smile despite being made a fool of herself. As if Sayoko-senpai, who was in the club room, had been waiting for this moment, she ran to me and tried to interrogate me.

“Stop it. Manager-kun couldn’t participate in practice today because he was having career counseling.”

Takase said while stopping Sayoko. With a disapproving expression, “Yeah, but… !” Said to the mumbling senior.

“Sorry. I should have contacted you in advance. It was decided suddenly….”

If this is the case, will the medicine rise?

“Sorry. Senior Sayoko.”

As I apologized in the most apologetic manner, she crossed her arms and glared at me, then turned her body away.

She smiled inwardly.

The captain defends me, and I bow my head pretending to be sorry. It was that side that became the bad guy in terms of atmosphere. From before, Sayoko’s catching the pod towards me and passing on work seemed to be a topic of conversation in the track and field club.

“Ah… Hey, claim!”

At the time my work was over, one member of the staff raised his hand.

“After the captain went out earlier, the soccer team came looking for me.”

Takase slightly frowned. Trembling at the reaction, she hesitated.

“After the soccer team practice later… How about going out to play together if nothing special happens… Do you….”

Even I knew what the answer would be. It seemed that the members were already aware of the order.

“I refuse.”

“Ah… female… Also, right? Let me tell you.”

“I’m fine, but if there are members who want to go, I won’t stop them.”

Unlike the athletics club, the soccer club is just a hobby. I heard that he often seduces girls from other schools in this way, or goes out with other girls’ clubs as a group.

“Ah… then….”

I’m fine, but you guys can go if you want. As if they didn’t know how to accept that ambiguous answer, the members only noticed.

In the first place, I had no place to sit, so I looked at them quietly.

“By the way… There must be no one who doesn’t know that next week is training camp, right?”

Said Takase, placing her hand on her doorknob as if leaving her private practice.

“It is unacceptable to attend training in a relaxed state of mind.”

The atmosphere, which had been elevated for a moment, subsided.

This is the same everywhere.

“As long as I can maintain my optimal condition and physical condition. I will not interfere.”

The door to the room is closed.

Even after Takase left, there was silence in the room for a while.

“Look, look. You can’t either. Senior Sayoko.”

“My, when did I ask you to go! You guys were excited and asked to go, so I asked the captain for permission!”

I laugh out loud. You were in the middle of a plot until Takase and I came.

“I don’t care if I don’t go. The kids on the soccer team are a little bit offended.”

“Are you in a bad mood?”

When Aoi, who was sitting in the seat, spoke, the eyes of the members were drawn.

“Why… There are also some strange rumors. You’re a bit reluctant.”

“It’s just a rumor, isn’t it overexaggerating?”

“Yes, Sayoko-senpai is there too, can you say something like that?”

When the name was called, Sayoko waved her hand in embarrassment.

“My, why me!? Oh, in the first place, I didn’t even want to go!”

“As soon as I heard the proposal, I was completely excited….”

“At least it’s because of that senior.”

Sometimes they forget I’m there and go into their own talk. The more that happened, the more deliberately I erased my presence. To get more information.

“Mu, mu, what are you talking about! No it’s not!?”

“Look at the stutter. Sayoko-senpai, you can see it too.”

“Well, that senior is popular.”

At that point, I noticed that ‘that senior’ was referring to Matsuda Sakai.

I see. Even when I heard the sudden suggestion from the soccer club, I felt a hint.

The student they are targeting is Sayoko. My vague expectations were confirmed. Because I thought I’d solve it soon.

I watched Sayoko overhearing their conversation while pretending to sort through the paperwork behind the scenes. She uses her as bait to fish Sakai and her soccer club. Slowly, the plan began to roll in my head.
