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

The starting point of Sofia getting involved with the protagonist is a perverted scene that is common in the ecchi genre. The scene that makes Shinji Ryujin, the protagonist have a lucky accident that he gets involved with Sofia frequently.

If it goes according to the plot, he will handle everything afterward.

Shinji, as the novel's protagonist who often gets involved with many other characters' problems, will take care of all these things.

"No need to tell me!"

She shouted in a trembling voice.

She bit her lower lip and took out a gift-wrapped box from inside her bag.

"Here, a gift for visiting patients."

When I opened the box Sofia gave me, I found a luxurious set of cookies.

"I prefer fried chicken or steak."

I said something without thinking, to annoy her.

It was important to break the connection with the female protagonist at all costs.

"Shut up! Just take it!"

Sofia was angry.

That's a good sign.

I laughed loudly, and she turned her face away.

"I'm going to go now."

"It was nice meeting you, and don't expect to see you again, Sofia."

"Why are you saying that?"

"Never mind, just go."

"I was planning to leave even without you telling me!"

"Thud!"

The room door creaked shut as the sound of shoes disappeared.

Once Sofia disappeared, the room became silent.

At this point, Sofia must have given up on the idea of becoming a maid or whatever it was.

Of course, that doesn't mean she can antagonize me.

In our relationship, the blame falls entirely on her.

'Realizing herself as the one who caused the mistake, Sofia, who was full of pride, couldn't ignore that.'

Her only option was to grumble, but I had no intention of entertaining her anger.

A relationship that was neither close nor distant.

That was the most desirable state for both of us. So that I could get a little involved if there was a change in the flow.

Soon, she would meet a good protagonist and someone like me, as a side character, would be quickly forgotten.

That's how it should be.

She took out one of the cookies she received as a gift. She unwrapped it and took a bite.

A sweet taste filled her mouth.

"Wow! This is too sweet. Fried chicken or steak is better for me."

I have Voltar. I have to maintain a good social distance with female protagonists.

Today was a pretty satisfying day.

Is it the butterfly effect? Well, whatever.

****************************************

Evening at the Academy of Future Heroes.

At the beginning of the new semester, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the sun is setting.

Sofia skipped dinner and lay face down on her bed, placed in a special dorm room, burying her face in the pillow.

"Stupid, idiot, pervert, pervert, useless, shameless!"

She grumbled as she punched her pillow.

Beside the bed, her shadow, her maid Aria, stood like a statue.

"She's so cruel, too much..."

Sofia's cheeks puffed up.

The events of the day were replaying in her head.

Yuji Takahashi.

He tried to apologize for his rudeness to her, and even bought a set of expensive cakes as a gift for her to keep his promise.

But all she got was cold treatment.

Aria spoke indifferently.

"Didn't you do anything wrong to her?"

"Wrong? That's true, but..."

Sofia fell silent.

Her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment.

She knew it herself.

How rude she had been.

Telling a hero to give up his weapon was a great insult.

Although she said it to get her brother's weapon back, it was only from her point of view.

From the other person's point of view, there was no greater humiliation or rudeness than that.

"...You are right. This is my fault."

Sofia's shoulders drooped.

She was upset.

But there was nothing wrong with her words.

The opportunity to make amends was entirely up to her.

It is not his place to intervene.

It was she who was entirely at fault.

He just thought she would naturally accept his proposal.

'I was wrong.'

Sofia buried her face in the pillow again.

Sofia thought she herself was different from the other candidates.

'But just the same.

But it wasn't.

Sofia who prided herself on being different from others, in the end was no different from the other students.

Only now, after visiting Yuji in his hospital room, does Sofia realize this.

Her face is red up to her ears.

She was ashamed of her own sense of superiority.

"Your Highness, what are your plans from now on?"

Aria's calm voice reached Sofia's ears.

"Well... it was my fault anyway..."

Sofia continued.

"...I have to meet him again."

Her expression turned serious.

Sofia realized that she was no different from the people she had ridiculed.

But she couldn't just give up here.

If she realized her mistake, she had to correct it.

Her favorite brother, the Dark Lord Willem, would definitely say the same thing to her in this situation.

"I will not stop apologizing until my sincerity is conveyed. Even, if she never wants to see me again, I will keep trying to apologize."

She vowed to keep apologizing until he truly forgave her.

Yuji who heard this must have been shocked by her crazy decision.

"You've made a good decision."

Since she was a little girl, Aria, Sofia's exclusive maid, had looked after and accompanied the princess, Aria looked at Sofia with a faint smile.

From a young age, Sofia was oppressed by her sense of responsibility and hope to follow in the footsteps of her elder brother, the Dark Lord.

Sofia's reason for coming to the Japanese hero academy instead of the academy of her native Netherlands was because of the Dutch King's decision to relieve her of her burden for a while and allow her to live like a normal girl among her friends at school.

The King's decision was right.

In the Asian island nation far from home, the Dutch princess could show the face of an ordinary girl.

"You should thank Mr. Yuji Takahashi."

A smile graced Aria's face.

It was then

... "Aria."

Sofia called out in her ear.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Do you know where the good fried chicken and steak food is around here?"

The last words Yuji threw out about fried chicken or steak, with a frown still swirling in Sofia's head. He even compared the expensive cake Sofia brought with fried chicken and steak. So, Sofia is looking for these food references for Yuji when she meets again later.
