Become A Side Character In The World Of The Novel I Read

Fortunately, Sofia seemed to feel ashamed of her own actions.

"Good, at least you admit it now. Is that why you came here to talk about it?"

"No, no! It's not that."

"So, what?"

Was there anything else to talk about other than admitting defeat and recognizing that I was the new owner of the Voltar sword?

The moment I asked the question, Sofia closed her mouth.

She put her hands together and fiddled with her fingers. Her pale cheeks were flushed again, right up to her ears. Her eyes were moving around, unable to look me directly in the eye.

"------ I've come to fulfill------ bet."

Bet?

"Is it about a personal servant or something similar like that?"

The conversation from the voice recording earlier flashed through my head. I forgot about the bet, being too enthusiastic about gaining possession of the Voltar sword.

That's right, there was a problem like that.

I didn't pay much attention to her, but it seemed like she was taking the gamble seriously, just as a heroine in a fictional novel should.

"Yes, yes! I swear on the name of the royal family that I will keep the bet..

.." "I don't need it."

I cut Sofia off before she could finish her sentence.

Her eyes grew wide and looked at me in confusion.

"Huh? What?"

"There's no need to do such a strange thing."

Sofia is one of the heroines who has an important role in this story.

If I got involved with her, it would be a headache with so many events involving her.

The core of this story is the same as any other novel, about saving the heroine.

All heroines have their own problems, and when the hero solves their problems and saves them, they sincerely open their hearts to the protagonist.

That means,

'If I'm responsible for Sofia, shouldn't I be the one to save her?'

'Ouch! This is going to be a pain in the ass.'

The problems Sofia faces come to mind.

Sofia's situation is that of a 'bad fiancé'.

The main story of this novel in the eighth volume is the protagonist pretending to be her lover and thwarting Sofia's engagement to Henry, the disgraced second prince of England, while uncovering the connection between him and the organization of the Independence Revolutionary League.' Even at the end of the ending he is the one who fucks Sofia because he still has a grudge with the protagonist.

Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

'You expect me to do all that and save nah? Impossible! I can't do things like that.'

Let's leave it to the protagonist, she can manage on her own.

I'm too busy surviving in the academy and finding a way to return to my home world.

"But the stakes------

" "You don't have to do it. It's also better for you, isn't it? How can a princess who grew up in luxury be a servant to a B-ranked student who is clearly beneath her?"

"Not that!"

Sofia closed her eyes and shouted.

"Why are you yelling like that?"

Sofia sneered and, with a determined look in her eyes, began to speak with a serious expression and firm tone.

"---If you're planning to test me, I want to tell you that it's a total misunderstanding. The gamble was a promise involving the honor and responsibility of the royal family, and I have no intention of withdrawing that promise."

'What's going on? Why would she think like that? Did I miss something?'

'Is it because of her pride as a royal family, that she doesn't want to reject him?'

'This is quite puzzling to me.'

Only now do I understand the feelings of the protagonists of academy stories in general. How did this unreasonable development of delusions come about? How this misunderstanding is so uncomfortable.

I wanted to slap myself in the past for laughing at the characters' misunderstanding of the protagonist. And now I had to feel what the protagonist felt.

At this point, there was no other way but to do something crazy.

"I don't like you."

"Pardon?"

After hearing my words, Sofia's body stiffened. Her once haughty blue eyes trembled.

Crossing my arms, I repeated it firmly.

"Don't you understand what I said earlier? I don't like you."

"Why?"

Sofia's confused expression questioned me.

Maybe because she was a character who grew up surrounded by expectations and love? She seemed surprised by my words.

"Would I like someone like you? Suddenly, you demanded I hand over my milk magical artifact, threatening to take it by force if I couldn't prove myself. I'm glad I won, but if I lost....I don't need to explain, you already know, right?"

I shook my head violently.

In this world, magical artifacts are like your soulmate, lover, or loved one. If this was my world then it was a very strange one. However, in that world it was considered normal.

The price of a magical artifact is equivalent to the value of a warship, and without a magical artifact whether it's a weapon or a support item, a hero's power will not be maximized. Sofia, who asked me to hand over the magical artifact at our first meeting, had deeply offended me based on this world's standards.

To put it in perspective, it's like saying I'm going to steal your girlfriend right in the middle of your date. How could she just let it go?

"I I..."

Sofia struggled for words.

Her face turned bright red.

She must be so embarrassed.

"Well, you'd better go!"

I waved my hand dismissively.

She should give up at this point.

Sofia bowed her head.

"You're right..."

Her trembling voice escaped her lips.

"It was all my fault."

"So?"

"Please give me a chance to make up for what I've done!"

Olivia tightly grasped the skirt of her plaid uniform.

I could only sigh.

"Why should I? I don't want to. Leave me alone."

"But but..."

"Leave."

I pointed my finger at the hospital room door.

I had no intention of getting involved with the female protagonist again like I already did.

The main storyline was just a problem.

"Good..."

Sofia sagged, her shoulders slumping.

I brushed away the remaining uneasiness in my chest. The worst seems to have passed. Wait a minute, I just remembered something.

"Wait! I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Did you bathe in the bathhouse today?"

Hearing my question, Sofia's face turned bright red.

Her hands were shaking with anxiety.

"No, I didn't! Is that enough? You disgusting pervert! I never thought I'd compare you to my older brother even for a moment... Anyway, done!"

Sofia jumped to her feet, her eyes closed as she screamed.

The same response as the tsundere in the novel.

However, what matters now is whether Sofia took a bath today or not.

The first scene of the novel begins when the protagonist, Shinji Ryujin, finds a naked Sofia bathing in a misty bathhouse at night after the admission ceremony.

Which is the scene of the novel's protagonist's first encounter with the absurd-looking heroine. A lewd scene that becomes Shinji's link with Sofia in the story.

It is what triggers the quarrel between them and becomes the starting point of the story.

A classic boy meets girl situation in novels.

"I hope everything goes according to the plot of the novel so that I don't have to fix the plot that deviates from the original."
