I Became a Supporting Character in an N*R Manga - Chapter 199



199 – Knot

I smiled and lowered my head.

I expected it just in case.

About the possibility that Haruna has already noticed.

Assuming that she has good ears and is sensitive to the presence of others, she is already aware of my existence.

“Sorry. “I didn’t mean to.”

“Yes, I know. “Minsu isn’t really a peeping criminal.”

Seeing her recognize me without me having to explain anything made her smile for some reason.

“Thank you. “For understanding.”

“Yes… “Rather than that, it’s because I went to find Minsu.”

“Huh?”

You came to visit me? Not in the men’s room, but in the hot springs?

“I wonder if Minsu would be in alone at this time~ I wonder if my boyfriend, who enjoys silence and solitude, would be in without anyone noticing.”

“…… Ahahahaha.”

There are degrees of boldness.

What would you have done if Seo-ah hadn’t come in?

“My prediction was right, right?”

Haruna asked with a smile. I nodded.

“But I think Yuuko-chan predicted it too. “My actions.”

“…… Is it.”

“Yes. I think I need some time alone. That’s why I followed you.”

Is that what happened?

Han Seo-ah followed Haruna as she moved to find me.

It’s a strange connection.

“Of course, that prediction was wrong. “Because I didn’t want to be alone.”

I was also in that hot spring.

The story is that it was like that in the end.

It has no meaning now.

“What do you think, Minsu?”

Haruna asked me the opposite question.

I saw a winter sky without a single cloud.

“Because I don’t know. “I couldn’t find an answer, so I looked for you.”

“Aha.”

Can we say we have a normal relationship now?

Even though the end of her conversation may have been patois, her determination came back to haunt her.

No, actually it is not done at all.

It would be painful and hurtful, but I thought it was a problem that could not be postponed.

They must have felt this pain long ago.

“I want to hear what Haruna thinks.”

We must come to a conclusion quickly.

Even if you are not in a hurry, it is never too late. Calmly yet firmly.

“Me? I am….”

Her head rested gently on my shoulder.

“I don’t want to break up with Minsu. By dating you… Even if someone hurts… “I don’t want to break up.”

“…… I see.”

“What about Minsu?”

I took a deep breath.

If Haruna’s true feelings are true, then I too will have no choice but to speak out.

“I don’t want to break up with Haruna. Seeing someone hurt because of dating you… “I don’t want to see you.”

“Minsu is so greedy.”

“Yes, more than Haruna and you.”

Will we end our separation and continuation with a quiet smile like this?

We don’t want to show our ugly sides to each other.

I want to always smile, understand and be considerate of each other.

“Still… “Shouldn’t we have to choose?”

As expected, Haruna seemed to have figured that out.

That was our problem that Seo-ah pointed out.

In the end, I made my eyes look straight ahead.

“It’s just as Yuuko-chan said. Because I can no longer force my selfishness. I told this honestly to her older sister and Aki-chan….”

Delivery… Will they eventually split?

Haruna’s hands were trembling as she held my hand tightly like a clam.

“So that those kids don’t suffer anymore…” To find a new relationship….”

It wasn’t just my hands that were shaking.

“I think it’s right to do it. Because… Because I….”

One day I tried to come to her conclusion.

However, it was a matter of cutting out a part of the heart.

Of course it was a painful and painful act.

“Haruna.”

That’s why I stopped him from saying that.

“From now on, I’m going to make a very selfish claim.”

“Huh?”

“A dogmatic, arbitrary argument that only thinks about oneself.”

It was exactly like that.

It was something that required determination and shamelessness, but it was something I had never even dared to do until now.

I spoke firmly, stopping her from choosing something more precious than throwing away something precious to her.

“If Shiraishi and Takase-senpai like me. “It’s an if.”

“Ah…… Huh.”

Haruna nodded her head blankly.

“I want to date them too. Without abandoning anyone.”

I never thought I would say something like this.

“Of course, the one I cherish the most is Haruna.”

“……… ….”

It is an excuse that has nothing to say even if you get slapped.

“If we could all stay together like that… “I think it would be really good.”

It was fortunate that there was no one else in the park except us.

“Minsu… hey….”

“Yes.”

“Are you serious?”

Haruna raised her head.

The scarf that connected us became long.

Her hand, which was holding both of her hands together, also fell.

Oh, it doesn’t work after all.

“Yes. “I want to do that.”

Nevertheless, I insisted.

Doing such a stupid thing.

I desperately feel that the harem situation that appears in any creative work is something that is difficult and requires courage.

“…… “So you’re saying you’re going to be a playboy.”

Haruna spoke in a voice without any accent.

Even though I felt scared, I refuted it.

“Strictly speaking, it is not the wind. “It’s a relationship that continues after everyone agrees.”

“There is no way we can get an agreement… “Do you think any woman in the world would approve of something like that?”

This is an excessive theory.

That’s why I made an unusual counterargument.

“Of course, a normal woman would not agree. “If it’s an abnormal woman, a strange woman who doesn’t care about what people think, I might accept it.”

Of all the women I’ve seen, I’ve seen them all this year.

“And Haruna. I want you to be the first to accept it. “This is my truth.”

This is also called a confession.

I almost burst into laughter, but I remained serious until the end.

Even if the scarf around her neck comes off and she separates herself from me.

“You’re such an idiot, Minsu.”

“Yes. “You’re stupid and selfish.”

It might make Haruna cry.

She would never have expected that she too would experience such a ridiculous breakup.

“Are you saying you want to have everything, including me, that wonderful Eri, and the pretty Aki-chan? Anyway, isn’t that too greedy?”

“It doesn’t matter what you say. I’m greedy. “Because I will have it all.”

It was cold.

As she fell, her cold wind began to surround my body.

He is a man who claims a harem and ends up alone without being able to hold anyone in his arms… That’s not bad either.

Because I am a supporting character, that is the conclusion.

“……… ….”

Haruna’s lips were trembling as she lowered her head.

I have already prepared to declare separation.

But how will Haruna decide to break up? It was just not expected.

“Seup. Ha.”

Haruna took a long deep breath and eventually

“Ugh… ! “Haruna?”

She stretched out her arms and took me into my arms.

Her cold body was immediately warmed by her warmth.

“I promise.”

She said, burying her face in my chest.

“What promise?”

“He said he would cherish me the most. Promise.”

“……… ….”

That’s what she said just a moment ago.

I placed her hand on her head.

“Promise. “I will do that.”

I don’t know what to do specifically, but I said it as if I was handing out an empty check.

“I am first place. No matter what, no matter what situation, please put me first.”

“…… Ahahahaha.”

“Promise… !”

Haruna cried out, hugging my body as if I was going to turn her over and pin her to the ground.

“Okay. I’ll promise.”

He stuck out his little finger.

Haruna’s finger carefully reached out and accepted her contract.

Because I couldn’t see her expression as she buried her face in my arms. I couldn’t tell if he was angry, dumbfounded, or even smiling.

That’s how we concluded our agreement. Without even listening to other women’s opinions.

***

On the train back, I saw them sleeping with their heads on each other’s shoulders.

Seoa and Haruna, Shiraishi and Takase senior.

Senior with his eyes closed in a straight posture with earphones plugged in, and Shiraishi entrusting his body as if relying on him.

On her shoulder is Haruna. Next to her was a baby girl with her arms crossed and her head bowed.

Suddenly she felt a weight and turned her head to find Yuuki dozing off.

“…… Go away.”

After pushing slightly, Yuuki fell on the other side.

As I looked at them with the sunset shining through the window of the train, I had the feeling that even this was not the end of a typical school event.

“What… ….”

The corners of his mouth rose.

“That’s not bad, though.”

Why is a cliché a cliché?

I guess that’s because it’s a formula that touches my heart that much.

Convincing yourself like that. On the train back, I thought about the future.

Fortunately, the agreement with Haruna has ended. Senpai and Shiraishi… ?

Should I repeat the same line again?

I don’t want to do that much.

Shuddering at the terrible situation to come, I anticipated the possibility of failure again.

The possibility that Senpai and Shiraishi would snort and not accept a harem.
