How to Get on the Main Character’s Flower Path

 

I grabbed my head, thinking about Scammer’s completely changed attitude.

 

Just let me swear comfortably like before! It’s uncomfortable!

 

And since Lee Hana solved the Park Yoola issue, don’t keep poking me. I’m going crazy because he bothered me by asking me if I felt sleepy while helping with the experiment or to tell him if anything seemed strange. Even though I knew something would happen, I paid no attention and sent him away, what’s wrong with him, I wonder.

 

Anyway… The good news is that thanks to Scammer’s abnormal state, I think I can continue to earn a lot of points as long as I can endure the stress well.

 

If I collect a lot of meta point, I plan to purchase a product called ‘Elixir’ that I saw at the meta system store.

 

…Among the children at our orphanage, there is one child who desperately needs treatment due to an innate ability problem.

 

The child wasn’t even diagnosed with an abnormal condition, so the medicine to remove the condition didn’t work, and he had to endure the pain the whole time.

 

But if I have the elixir, a legendary recovery item, I might be able to cure him.

 

The problem is that if this situation continues, my plan to fade out naturally in the middle of the story will be shattered.

 

However, it’s difficult to artificially intervene, so couldn’t I sacrifice one of our club members instead of me to Scammer to eliminate my importance? I also have a conscience.

 

All I can do is take him with me…

 

For now, let’s maintain the current situation, earn enough points, and wait for one of the many heroines to appear later to naturally fall in love with Scammer.

 

After that, the story progresses towards a sad heroine who gives up on her own unrequited love while helping him fall in love.

 

Good. This should be enough.

 

…It will work, right?

 

For some reason, I sensed something ominous in my heart, but I tried to reassure myself.

 

 

Ah, and after the midterm attack event was resolved, there was an uproar as the news spread.

 

Does it make sense to have an extrude gate in the Academy, which is located in a safe area?

 

It must have been enough to shock people.

 

First of all, house prices around the Academy have plummeted. Public opinion was formed that the Academy should be moved to a safer place.

 

And the Academy hasn’t yet resolved this public opinion. It still seems a long way to restore shattered trust.

 

They probably launched an unexpected attack to create this kind of confusion.

 

There is one more thing that concerns me.

 

That bastard with his entire body covered in a robe.

 

That bastard was clearly a character who didn’t appear in the original novel.

 

That being that suddenly appeared, also the expression ‘player’ and ‘second round’ that he mentioned. And the strangely high level of hostility towards Scammer and the actions that seem to make every effort to get rid of him.

 

…Moreover, at this point, he’s already aware of Scammer’s existence?

 

Does he know something?

 

If he says it’s the second round, Scammer is actually playing the second round.

 

As I was thinking about the game, my thoughts came to what is often referred to as meta development. Isn’t there something like that? Something like a character that remembers previous episodes in the game.

 

If so, there is a high probability that he will become a quite serious variable. Considering that he even appears to be a member of ‘the group’ that caused the attack during the midterm exam…

 

No, even if I think about it this way, there is nothing I can do right away. Let’s move on first.

 

I threw away all complicated thoughts and proudly stroked the bankbook with the 800 million won I received after defeating the monsters that appeared in the gym.

 

Half of it was donated to our orphanage. This will make them more abundant. I’m happy.

 

 

And a few days later, the midterm exam results came out.

 

Depending on the test results, students were organized into new classes.

 

Na Yuri, who had started to fade from my eyes since she joined a different team from us, walked unsteadily towards us.

 

She had to continue hanging out with her group even after the midterms because of her mother’s orders.

 

That’s why she has less time with us. It’s been a long time.

 

I wordlessly patted Na Yuri’s back as she hugged me tightly. She suffered.

 

Na Yuri, held onto my hand tightly as if she wouldn’t let go.

 

Scammer kept looking at my hand that was holding Na Yuri’s, so as a service, I also held Scammer’s.

 

As the three of them were walking like that, Choi Soojung, who saw what was happening, grabbed Na Yuri’s other hand, and Lee Hana took Choi Soojung’s other hand without saying a word.

 

Calmy, who we met the last time, quietly raised a question mark and then took Lee Hana’s hand.

 

No need to do that, though.

 

So we walked side by side, hand in hand, and went to the post where the class schedule was written.

 

Us holding hands next to each other seemed to attract attention, and like the miracle of Moses, the crowd split. Shame on you guys.

 

I couldn’t hide my blushing face and quickly walked towards the bulletin board.

 

All of our club members were in Class A.

 

In the case of our party, our performance at the gym was probably also reflected to some extent.

 

The faces of Na Yuri and the Scammer brightened noticeably. Looking at it like this, they look alike… As expected, they’re siblings (by blood).

 

After checking the class, we all headed to the class together, holding hands. No, I mean, please let go of my hand.

 

As soon as I arrived at class, I felt someone’s glare.

 

When I turned around, I saw a girl with a pink bun glaring at me.

 

Oh, the scouter of the team that took away Na Yuri.

 

In particular, she’s glaring at my hand holding Na Yuri’s.

 

…Why is she doing that, I wonder.

 

The moment I was asking so, the girl with the bun hair came over and slapped my and Na Yuri’s hands as we held each other.

 

Our hands were separated.

 

Na Yuri, why do you look so shocked? How long were you planning on not letting go?

 

The bun hair pointed at me.

 

“I can never accept that someone like you hangs out with Miss Yuri!”

 

Scammer heard her hysterical cries and muttered quietly to himself.

 

“She’s consistent, Shin Baran…”

 

Only then did I remember who she was.

 

Shin Baran. She was one of the heroines.

 

In the original, she’s a girl from a rich family who follows Na Yuri, and she gets jealous and fights with Scammer, whom Na Yuri keeps paying attention to.

 

At the same time, she was the kind of heroine who was pushed around by Scammer, and gradually fell in love with him.

 

She wasn’t very popular. Everyone was making a fuss, saying she was being arrogant and telling them to get rid of her quickly. That would have been the extent of teenage bloodiness that could be considered cute.

 

Perhaps because of public opinion, she was pushed aside and lost much of its importance. So I couldn’t remember well either.

 

Come to think of it…

 

“Ah! That friend who came during the interview for our club?”

 

Didn’t this one come to our club’s interview?

 

“N-No? I’m part of the reading debate club!”

 

But the bun hair blushed even as she denied it. How honest of her.

 

Since Na Yuri had joined the club, I think she was trying to join as well.

 

“A-Anyway! Get away from Miss Yuri!”

 

But why are you doing this to me? Instead of going to Scammer and getting angry.

 

…Actually, it’s not that I can’t guess the reason. I said it myself.

 

“No. Even if you don’t admit it, I’m Yuri’s friend.”

 

“Ugh…! Really annoying!”

 

She must be jealous.

 

Na Yuri finds Shin Baran’s admiration burdensome and she keeps wanting to keep a distance from her.

 

However, Shin Baran admires Na Yuri so much that she wants to become close to Na Yuri, even if it means using her family’s power.

 

In a way, if Shin Baran’s admiration had been at the right level, the two could have become good friends…

 

I glanced at Na Yuri’s condition. The vitality in her eyes that had recovered while she was holding my hand died again. This won’t work…

 

I just feel sorry for Shin Baran’s sad unrequited love.

 

Did those emotions appear on my face without my knowledge?

 

“I-I can’t admit it!”

 

Shin Baran kicked down the door of our classroom and ran out desperately. The sound of her running was very powerful. She’s full of energy.

 

She’s just a little obsessed with Yuri, but she’s basically a sincere girl, so she’ll be back before class.

 

I headed to the back seat, dragging Scammer who was still holding my hand and had no intention of letting go. He followed me like a chick.

 

But for some reason, even after we sat side by side, he held on to my hand tightly. Why are you like this these days, you…

 

I felt a headache and placed my free hand on my forehead. Lee Hana handed the painkiller to me with a silent, worried expression. Thank you. I received it gratefully.

 

 

After the headache-inducing school start time, it was time for assembly.

 

For your information, Shin Baran trudged over and sat down just before the morning meeting time. She’s still glaring at me. She has good energy too.

 

It wasn’t until the morning meeting time that I finally had a conversation with Scammer, carefully holding the hand Scammer had let go.

 

And at that moment,

 

Bang—!

 

The front door of the classroom opened roughly, and small feet powerfully emerged.

 

A little girl walks into the classroom with confident steps.

 

“Hello, brats!”
